Contemplating The Cross
$18.99Add to cartFew times of year lend themselves to pilgrimage and contemplation like Easter. For forty days, Christians have before them the opportunity to examine their own path and compare it with the incredible journey undertaken by Christ, from the agony of the garden to the glory of the resurrection. By sharing her journey, Tricia Rhodes provides the tools to cultivate the cross within and the inspiration to accept the Father’s summons to kneel in its shadow. Scripture and daily exercises gently nourish the spiritual traveler, while journal pages wait to hold the story of personal reflection. More encompassing that a devotional, more intimate that a mere yardstick of faith, this book will become a treasured keepsake.

Pause Before The Pulpit Cycle B
$23.95Add to cartToday’s busy pastors must cope with a diverse range of physically and emotionally draining tasks. Yet as they balance the many competing demands on their time, the essential element for maintaining a vital and successful ministry is carving out time for their own spiritual regeneration. Before pastors can effectively proclaim the Good News to the people in the pews, they must attend to their ongoing relationship with the God whom they serve.
Based on each Sunday’s epistle and gospel texts from Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary, this collection of prayerful reflections specifically addresses the spiritual needs of the clergy. Rather than a primer on how to preach the text, these devotions explore what the scripture passages have to say about the personal lives of pastors and their public ministry. It’s an ideal resource to begin weekly sermon preparation with, as each thoughtful contemplation prepares the heart for faithful preaching of God’s Word. But Pause Before The Pulpit isn’t just for pastors — these devotions will also strengthen and spiritually encourage anyone actively involved in lay ministry.

Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless you with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

To Pause At The Threshold
$17.95Add to cart“A threshold is a sacred thing,” goes the traditional saying of ancient wisdom. In some corners of the earth, in some traditional cultures, and in monastic life, this is still remembered. But in our fast-paced modern world, this wisdom is often lost on us.
It is important for us to remember the significance of the threshold. While it is certainly true that thresholds mark the end of one thing and the beginning of another, they also act as borders-the places in between, the points of transition. These can be physical, such as the geographical borders of a country; others, such as the spiritual border between the inner and outer world-between ourselves and others-are intangible.
In To Pause at the Threshold, Esther de Waal looks at what it is like to live in actual “border country,” the Welsh countryside with its “slower rhythms” and “earth-linked textures,” and explores the importance of opening up and being receptive to one’s surroundings, whatever they may be.

God Is Enough
$17.49Add to cartGeneration after generation of readers have kept Hannah Whitall Smith’s The Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life in continuous print since its first publication in 1875. Many of them, however, never became well acquainted with similar gems of spiritual devotion that are found not only in her other published writings but also in the thousands of pages of unpublished letters and journals in which she recorded her spiritual journey. In 1982, through the kindness of her great-granddaughter, Barbara Strachey Halpern, the editors were given free access to the family’s treasure lode of books, memorabilia, and manuscripts at her home in Oxford, England. The result was God Is Enough. The warm response generated by its first printing in 1986 and supported by the thousands who welcomed each additional printing thereafter indicates that the practical spiritual insights of this most widely read spiritual counselor of the nineteenth century still speak to us today. Readers who gave it a five-star review and say that it is the “best devotional ever,” a “book to be shared,” and “a must for any Christian’s library” will be glad to welcome the volume back in its eleventh printing. God is enough! Christ is all! The Holy Spirit is here in grace and power!

As you read this book, you will get a glimpse of an awesome God who loves you and is waiting to give you His gift of life. His plans and thoughts toward you are great; they will change your life forever! “It is a pleasure to provide an endorsement to this compilation of God-inspired poems from Sis. Charlotte. We recognize that this is a fulfillment of a dream, borne out of hours of intimate time with our Heavenly Father. Given the timeliness of this book, we could draw a thought from the book of Esther, Chapter 4:13: ‘…for such a time as this.’ However, I think it more appropriate to focus on Esther, Chapter 5:4: ‘If it pleases the king….’ I am quite sure the King is pleased, because destiny and purpose are being fulfilled. We pray that as you read, you will be inspired, uplifted, and strengthened.” -Pastors Ken and Arzella Baker New Covenant Evangelistic Christian Center
