Liked : Whose Approval Are You Living For
$14.99Add to cartThe purpose of life is to point to Jesus, not ourselves. We discover our best life possible when we passionately pursue God’s approval.
Deep down, we all want to be liked. We want to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that our life matters. So we look for ways to prove our importance and self-worth. We rely on numbers to tell us how we’re doing, how many followers we attract on social media, how many “likes” we get on a post, or how many parties we’re invited to.
But even when a new personal high is reached, the joy is temporary. It’s short-lived and fleeting. As our joy fades, self-doubt returns, and once again we feel that familiar urge to prove ourselves. We start a new quest to show we’re a Somebody because secretly, we fear we may be a Nobody.
Liked will help girls understand how to channel their talents and energies into things with eternal value and, in the process, find the love, friendships, confidence, and strength of character they desire. They will see that true identity is God-based, and that it is a pure and wonderful identity filled with Christ’s love.

In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should take responsibility for ourselves. As you deepen your relationship with God, learn more about His character, and understand the Holy Spirit’s role in holiness, your spiritual growth will mature.The included study guide contains 12 lessons.

Case For Grace
$16.99Add to cartThe Case for a Creator explored the scientific evidence for God; The Case for Christ investigated the historical evidence for Jesus; The Case for Faith responded to eight major objections about Christianity; The Case for The Real Jesus refuted the current challenges to the Bible and Christ … Now, in The Case for Grace, Lee Strobel crafts a compelling and highly personal case for God, focusing on God’s transforming work in the lives of men and women today. Writing with unusual candor, Lee draws upon his own journey from atheism to Christianity to explore the depth and breadth of God’s redeeming love for spiritually wayward people.

You’ll encounter racists, addicts, and even murderers who have found new hope and purpose. You’ll meet once-bitter people who have received God’s power to forgive those who have harmed them-and, equally amazing, people mired in guilt who have discovered that they can even forgive themselves. Through it all, you will be encouraged as you see how God’s grace can revolutionize your eternity and relationships … starting today.

When God Isnt There
$19.99Add to cartRenowned spoken word artist David Bowden tackles one of the most difficult questions of all-Where is God when we can’t find him? – and reveals what God’s absence and his presence tell us about God’s glory and his grace.
The Bible is full of stories of God removing his presence, of believers lamenting his absence, even of the omnipresent Creator refusing to listen to prayers or attend worship services. But Christians often fail to take notice of these passages, thoughtlessly continuing their usual religious practices without ever wondering: What if we showed up to church but God didn’t? Would anyone even notice?
When God Isn’t There tackles these questions head-on, providing a wake-up call to those who take God’s presence for granted and a resource of encouragement to those who struggle with feeling God’s absence. After all, if God is infinitely far from us and is free to move wherever he wants, how much more astounding is it that God came near in the person of Jesus? This book will forever change contemporary Christianity’s understanding of why God sometimes seems to vanish and how he can be found again.

Danza Divina – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartLa Trinidad es la doctrina central de todo nuestro sistema de creencias cristiano. Sin embargo, a menudo nos dicen que no debemos intentar entenderla, porque es un “misterio”. La Danza Divina explora ese misterio, demostrando como una concepcion mas profunda del Padre, el Hijo y el Espiritu Santo transformara nuestra relacion con Dios, y renovara nuestras vidas.
Invitation to a Dance
The Trinity is supposed to be the central, foundational doctrine of our entire Christian belief system, yet we’re often told that we shouldn’t attempt to understand it because it is a “mystery.” Should we presume to try to breach this mystery? If we could, how would it transform our relationship with God and renew our lives?
The word Trinity is not found in the New Testament-it wasn’t until the third century that early Christian father Tertullian coined it-but the idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus’ life and teachings and from the very beginning of the Christian experience.
In the pages of this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this most paradoxical idea as he explores the nature of God-circling around being an apt metaphor for this mystery we’re trying to apprehend. Early Christians who came to be known as the “Desert Mothers and Fathers” applied the Greek verb perichoresis to the mystery of the Trinity. The best translation of this odd-sounding word is dancing. Our word choreography comes from the same root. Although these early Christians gave us some highly conceptualized thinking on the life of the Trinity, the best they could say, again and again, was, Whatever is going on in God is a flow-it’s like a dance.
But God is not a dancer-He is the dance itself. That idea might sound novel, but it is about as traditional as you can get. God is the dance itself, and He invites you to be a part of that dance. Are you ready to join in?

God Of Earth
$20.00Add to cartAs Christians, we believe that God, the creator of all, inhabited the earth in order to call to us. God of Earth embraces this central premise of Christianity–Jesus as both fully divine and fully human–and then allows for the possibility that such a Jesus need not be limited to a human man who lived in Judea two thousand years ago. What if Jesus were “God of earth”–not only over earth but also in and through the earth?
God of Earth opens up ideas about God that invite not only a feeling of reverence toward the earth but also a sense of wonder toward it. As Kristin Swenson explores the ever-changing and ever-renewing cycles of nature, she invites readers to reconsider our relationship to the nonhuman natural world.

This book shows how we too can be a part of God’s great expedition. -

Falling Free : Rescued From The Life I Always Wanted
$19.99Add to cartShannan Martin had the best life she could imagine. She lived with her husband and three adorable kids in a cute little farmhouse on six rambling acres and had enough money, plenty of friends, a great church, and a safe, happy existence. Then the bottom dropped out when they lost their jobs and God called them to something radically different. Their world shifted to a small house on the other side of the urban tracks, an income on life support, failing local schools, and the county jail (where her husband is chaplain). And yet their plunge from “nice, safe, and happy” was the best thing that ever happened to them. Falling Free chronicles the Martin family’s pilgrimage from the faulty, me-centric wisdom of this world to the topsy-turvy life of God’s more being found in the less, challenging readers to rethink their own assumptions about faith and the good life. Anyone who yearns for something beyond status quo, middle-class Christianity but hesitates out of insecurity or safety concerns will find encouragement, food for thought, and practical guidance in this sweetly subversive book.

Sin Rival – (Spanish)
$16.99Add to cartHay una razon por la cual nos miramos unos a otros como rivales, y nos limitamos a compararnos y competir. Tenemos un enemigo atacando nuestra mente, nuestra voluntad y muestras emociones, con la esperanza de que nos tornemos uno contra otro, y contra nosotras mismas. Es un ciclo que nos aisla de conexiones intimas, crea confusion sobre nuestra identidad, y limita nuestro proposito.
En Sin Rival, la autora de exitos de ventas Lisa Bevere, comparte como una revelacion del amor de Dios rompe estos limites. Aprenderas como dejar de ver a otros como rivales, y hacer las conexiones profundas con tu Creador que tu deseas; conexiones que tienen la promesa de identidad e intimidad verdaderas.

*Darle la vuelta a la rivalidad para que saque lo mejor en ti
*Dejar de esconderte de conversaciones de las que necesitas ser parte
*Responder al argumento de que las mujeres son ineptas, faciles de engaar, y credulas
*Desarma la rivalidad de genero, y trabaja con los hombres en tu vida
*Es tiempo de dar el paso adelante para vivir una vida sin rival.In this day of challenge and opportunity, women have been the victims of constant comparison and rivalry. It has robbed the church of the feminine voice and contribution that would make her strong.
In a wild, vibrant, and relatable style, Lisa challenges women to:
*embrace the fact that God loves us uniquely rather than equally
*realize their undisputed calling
*reconnect to their divine identity
*dismantle the rivalries that keep us from God’s fullnessThere has never been a more desperate need for each of us to discover who and why we are a daughter without rival, loved by a God without rival, entrusted with a promise without rival, to complete an assignment without rival, that is destined for an eternity without rival.

Light When It Comes
$21.99Add to cartVivid, engaging stories to help readers find greater spiritual meaning in their everyday lives
We all have moments of joy, moments that move us somehow, spiritual moments that we can’t quite put a finger on. But then we rush on and soon forget. In this book Chris Anderson shares such moments from his own life in order to inspire readers who are seeking, hurting, doubting, or searching.
Drawing on an ancient prayer tradition, the examen of conscience, Anderson relates personal anecdotes, short scenes, and stories in a collage style that stimulates readers to reflect on their own lives. He shows how the examen can serve as a simple but powerful way to remember moments of light, of struggle, of joy. And however small or fleeting these moments are, in them God is calling and meeting us.

Eve In Exile
$16.00Add to cartThe swooning ladies of the Victorian Age and the suburban housewives of the 1950s genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women’s suffrage. Then, Second-Wave feminists marched for Prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody’s quite sure what. But the modern woman-who uses psychotherapeutic drugs at a rate never before seen in history-needs liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don’t know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end.
Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of china-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way-whether they’re things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun-Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Spurgeon discusses God’s promise to hear our prayers, the humility of pleading prayer, and our position before God’s throne of grace. Every believer can, and should, have a life marked by answered prayer. Charles Spurgeon will lead you to the place where life begins-a place of true communion with God.

Dark Night Of The Soul
$16.99Add to cart“In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.” St. John of the Cross
Why does God allow us to fall into this empty void? Does He not love us? Will He not help us? How do we deal with feeling abandoned in hopeless darkness? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
In sixteenth-century Spain, a poor monk became a spiritual giant. His life was devoted to prayer, poverty, solitude, and silence in pursuit of the beauty and goodness of God. When his intimacy with Jesus led to imprisonment, John used the time to compose a spiritual masterpiece in which he takes readers on a deeply spiritual journey through hardships and temptations to complete union with God. In a step-by-step process, he shows how God can use this “dark night” to eventually bring our human spirits into greater illumination, revealing heavenly wisdom and the passion of divine love. It is possible to walk securely through the darkness and experience the wonderful effects that are wrought in the believer as a result of the dark night.

Unmasking The Accuser
$16.99Add to cartWhen was the last time a Christian hurt you?
The demonic trio of slander, gossip, and offense has gained huge momentum both in our society and in the church. They ruin marriages, relationships, destroy churches, and discredit those in spiritual leadership. Even worse, instead of fighting them, believers daily aid these spirits. And daily, other believers fall victim. The church’s main problem today is a lack of love, forgiveness, and unity.
Satan’s favorite lie is that spiritual attacks always come from outside-that Christians can’t hurt each other. But when Pastor Kynan Bridges rips the mask off of the accuser, the truth is revealed: Satan’s spirits of slander, gossip, and offense are determined to tear the kingdom apart, and they use believers to do it-leading to bitterness and spiritual disease.
With a careful study of the Word of God, Pastor Kynan shows a way out. In this book, you will learn how to:
*Recognize the devastation of slander
*Identify the satanic nature of gossip
*Avoid the temptation to be hurt and offended
*Release those who have wounded you
*Use love and forgiveness as a powerful weapon to walk in victory over the enemy, the accuser of the brethren. -

Waking The Dead
$19.99Add to cartJesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.
Jesus touched people, and they changed: the blind had sight, the lame walked, the deaf heard, the dead were raised. To be touched by God, in other words, is to be restored, to be made all God means us to be. That is what Christianity promises to do? make us whole, set us free, bring us fully alive.

NotesAdditional Info
Many church leaders, yearning for church growth, look to the latest evangelistic strategies or seeker-targeted worship services. But lack of growth might not be due to lack of concern for new people-it may be because we are not effectively discipling the people we already have.Greg Ogden address the need for discipleship in the local church and recovers Jesus’ method of accomplishing life change by investing in just a few people at a time. Ogden sets forth his vision for transforming both the individual disciple and discipleship itself, showing how discipleship can become a self-replicating process with ongoing impact from generation to generation.
This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter on discipleship and preaching.

Walking With God (Revised)
$19.99Add to cartOur deepest need is to live in conversation with God. To hear his voice. To follow him intimately. This is the single most life-changing habit that a human being can adopt, because it brings us back to the source of life.

In this revised and updated edition of his classic Walking with God, John Eldredge opens his personal journals to tell a year’s worth of stories about walking and talking with the Lord. By putting words to the things God has shown him through some amazing experiences, Eldredge helps readers shed light on the miraculous truths that God is showing them right now.
Some of John’s stories will help readers recall lessons they didn’t know had been forgotten, some will open up new horizons, but they will all help readers tell and interpret their own story: the story of their intimate walk with God.

Cosmic Initiative : Restoring The Kingdom Igniting The Awakening
$19.99Add to cartJesus never said “Seek first” about any pursuit or purpose except the kingdom of God. But the church has essentially abandoned this central message, so that kingdom realities have become lost to us. Our neglect has been costly, because God’s kingdom on earth; His cosmic initiative; has the authority and power to revolutionize our culture. This transformation occurs first within us and then around us, igniting the world with forgiveness, healings, miracles, righteousness, and peace.The reason most people today do not seek the kingdom is that they have not seen it. Once they truly see it, they seek and follow the remarkable vision they have glimpsed. This is because discovering the kingdom is not just information but an adventure in revelation and transformation.
Well-known speaker and kingdom-seeker Jack Taylor invites us to be reintroduced to the kingdom of God and to experience the recovery of the kingdom gospel leading to kingdom power, kingdom love, and the greatest kingdom harvest the world has ever seen.

Making Of A King
$14.99Add to cartInformation on the making of a king: the making of a king is a prerequisite to office politics. It places high premium on the processes we must go through before we get to the throne-where god wants to elevate us to. Despite the challenges in life especially the goliath challenge, god enables us to surmount all those insurmountable hurdles during our journey with him. Information on marriage is not a bed of roses: marriage is a sacred institution made by god but we humans use marriage contrary to how god designed it. Some ladies marry to please friends, prove a point to their parents, still others, marry because everybody is marrying. Some marry because they are frustrated with their growing. God created marriage for three main reasons: sharing, support and respect/honor. Information on turning failure into success: success is not something you do once but something you do repeatedly. Success is a culmination of hard work, preparation, perseverance, endurance, vision and an unremitting devotion to the things you wanna see happen. Information on things that destroy us: there are a lot of things we do that destroy us and I focused on three-bitterness, bad friends and greed. In life, never be bitter over past hurts and disappointment because it will poison every good thing that god has planted in you. Evil company corrupts good habits so do not joke with it. Never be greedy over anything in life because you will not be buried with your earthly possessions. Nothing lasts forever except god and his word.

This book is not a product of professionalism; it is a prophetic release by the Spirit of the living God. The Church is not a denominational gathering of religious people, but the Ekklesia, the people called for an assignment, the assembly of legislating on behalf of God on earth. This book will take you through a journey. Its intent assuredly will awaken your spirit man to experience a paradigm shift from ‘Churchianity’ to that which is God’s original intention.

False Adequacy : Finding God At The End Of You
$15.99Add to cartDo you consider yourself a prideful person or know someone that is? Many times, we overlook pride and don’t see it for what it is which is relying on our own strength and seeking our own way. When we do this, we reject the will of God for our lives.
In this book, the author shares his story of a time in his life that he had to deal with humility. He was forced to walk to all his destinations for a while after his car broke down and he didn’t have the money to fix it. Then, he realized that he was a very prideful person and had been living his life to please only himself and not the Lord.
He teaches the reader that we as Christians have a false perception that God wants to make us look good and this is a fallacy. The truth is that our virtues, gifts and talents have been given to us by God to glorify Himself. Not us. Once we understand this, then we can truly live in such a way to bring glory to God which in turn brings us much freedom and joy.

Rocks Dirty Birds And Briars
$33.00Add to cartIn the parable of the sower, Jesus foretold all the ways the world would try to reject God’s Word. Rocks will be thrown at the righteous, dirty birds will try to steal your peace and assurance, and briars will try to choke out the clear truth with noise and confusion. Today, the rocks are hardened hearts that have turned from God, the dirty birds are enemies of the Gospel dispelling negative influences, and the briars are the media channels seeking to distract, confuse, and alarm. Satan uses these threats to scorch out, choke out, and steal away God’s Word. Yet God is unchangeable and infallible. His Word is the seed that produces truthfulness, holiness, and obedience-and we are called to plant it, nurture it, and tend it in order to have a fruitful harvest.

Prosecuting Jesus : Finding Christ By Putting Him On Trial
$22.00Add to cartWho is Jesus? Christians have been arguing about the answer to that question since there have been Christians, and it seems unlikely that they’re going to agree on an answer anytime soon. Mark Osler, always a bit uncomfortable in church, was never able to find a Jesus that seemed real to him–until he put Jesus on trial.
Drawing on his training as a federal prosecutor and professor of law, he and a group of friends staged the trial of Jesus for their church, as though it were happening in the modern American criminal justice system. The event was so powerful that before long Osler received invitations to take it on the road. Each time he served as Christ’s prosecutor, the story of Jesus opened up to him a bit more.
Prosecuting Jesus follows Osler in this extraordinary journey of discovering himself by discovering Jesus. Juxtaposing things we rarely put together, like the passion of Christ and our ideas about capital punishment, Osler explores an active engagement between Jesus and our contemporary law and culture.

Compassion In Practice
$16.99Add to cartJesus was a spiritual teacher who demonstrated personal and social transformation. His earliest disciples were first known not as Christians but as followers of the Way. Jesus’ Way was a spirituality of radical compassion. He taught how to love and be loved by an extravagantly compassionate God; how to cultivate love for ourselves; and how to love our neighbors by extending love to the outcasts, the offensive, and even our enemies.
Compassion in Practice is an introduction to Christian compassion. It explains not just what Christian compassion looks like but how to practice it in a world ravaged by violence, fear, and reactivity. This book teaches us how to love as Jesus loved.
Expanding on the foundation of Practicing Compassion, Frank Rogers defines the way Jesus prepared his disciples to transform hearts hardened from the assaults of life into compassionate hearts.

Mueve Montanas – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartJohn Eldredge, autor bestselling del New York Times ofrece una guia paso a paso hacia una oracion eficaz.
Los discipulos le preguntaron a Jesus !ensenanos como orar!. La mayoria de cristianos-la gran mayoria de gente-quiere orar y en verdad oran, pero no se sienten confiados en el proceso. Este libro ofrece una guia paso a paso a traves de diversas ocasiones en las que las oraciones pueden ser aplicadas, incluyendo el fundamento biblico que respalda la tecnica, anecdotas alentadoras y modelos de oraciones. Durante veinte anos, John Eldredge ha ensenado a la gente como orar y ha tenido resultados asombrosos. Por su experiencia, el conoce lo que se interpone en el camino de un oracion eficaz y como ayudar a la gente hacia una oracion realmente efectiva.
Este libro inicia con un replanteamiento libertador acerca de que es la oracion. La mayoria de cristianos sostienen el equivocado concepto de que la oracion es esencialmente pedirle a Dios que intervenga. Esta suposicion ha llevado a una confusion y dolor incalculables a muchos que hacen sus peticiones pero Dios parece no escuchar… o no le importa. Mientras Jesus dijo a sus discipulos Te dare las llaves del reino de los cielos; todo lo que ates en la tierra quedara atado en el cielo, y todo lo que desates en la tierra quedara desatado en el cielo (Mateo 16.19 NVI). Cuando actuamos desde nuestra posicion de autoridad en Cristo, abordamos la oracion con mucho mas seguridad. Asi como un padre espera que sus hijos crezcan y puedan vestirse ellos mismos y conseguir un empleo, Dios no quiere que sus hijos sean tan simples con respecto a algo tan esencial como la oracion. La oracion madura es una relacion de companerismo con Dios para llevar a cabo las cosas.

God At Work
$18.99Add to cartDiscover God’s assignment for you at work. Live each day with purpose. This one statement describes the driving force behind Ken Costa’s foundational book God at Work. Millions of Christians go to work each day and face a seeming divide between the sacred and the secular. They wrestle with the dichotomy of being compassionate in a competitive environment. Does God care about the 40 hours we spend at our office every week? In God at Work, while reflecting on his own experiences in the workplace, Costa says the answer is a resounding “yes”. God does care and He not only wants to be intimately involved He wants to inhabit our workplace. Costa asserts you were made by Him, you are loved by Him, and you are called by Him. God at Work proves faith and work can be reconciled. God at Work highlights the main “Pressure Points” faced by every working person:
*Does my work matter to God?
*How am I to handle ambition and failure?
*Facing tough decisions
*Stewardship of money and givingAfter decades of rumination on this very thought, Costa shows how God himself is at work and has been since the creation. He invented work. He is active and understands the nature of work. God at Work encourage readers to transform their work station into a “worship station”. Young or old, this timeless message will inspire each of us to truly live each day with purpose.

Deeply Rooted : Knowing Self Growing In God
$14.99Add to cartSpiritual growth sounds great, but what does it mean?
There is something very grounding about trees. We understand how they grow and how dirt, seeds, water, and roots support the life and seasons of a tree. Using a tree as a metaphor, Christopher Maricle presents a model for spiritual growth that is easy to use and remember.
Deeply Rooted borrows Catherine of Siena’s image of the soul as a tree and categorizes it into four parts: the garden, the soil and roots of the tree, the trunk and essence, and the fruits. The reader explores self-knowledge and knowledge of God and how these two work together to help the soul grow.

Rewriting Your Broken Story
$18.99Add to cart12 Chapters
Additional Info
How do you fix a broken story? In this fallen world, life is not how we thought it would be. Jobs vanish, relationships crumble, health fails. How do we find the hope to persevere? We can make sense of our broken stories by setting them in the context of a larger and greater story. Kenneth Boa shows how God can transform our lives with an eternal perspective, when we live with the end in mind. In light of eternity, our struggles are temporary and our plot twists are not fatal. We are hard-wired by God with eternity in our hearts, and that longing gives us purpose, blesses others and helps us make a permanent mark on the world. Knowing our future is crucial to living our present. When we set our stories within his great story, we learn to live with a heavenly perspective and follow it all the way home. -
Know Your Why
$19.99Add to cartAre you working for cash, a career, a cause-or a calling? “Why do you do what you do?” People work for a variety of reasons. For many, the primary purpose of their work is cash. Their principal motivation is the paycheck that funds their everyday needs. Their work is a means to an end. Others are motivated by ambitions for a career, to move up the professional ladder and expand their experience, becoming more skilled in a particular area. Still others work for a cause, believing in the wider purpose of their work, attempting to make a difference in the world-to leave a mark in some way. All of these are legitimate motivations. However, missing from all three is any sense of the value of work itself. The focus is on the output of the workplace, rather than valuing the input. What we need is calling. Those who see their work as a calling experience a rich integration in their lives. They sense a purpose, a direction to their activities. Work has intrinsic meaning, rather than being simply a means to an end. In many ways this is precisely what the Spirit of God does in our lives. When we are in the flow of the Spirit, we are cooperating fully in our God-given callings. When people embrace their callings, they love their work, can manage inevitable tensions that arise, and are welcomed by their colleagues, who sense that there is something beyond the cash or career objectives. But how do we get there? Know Your Why is written with one objective: to help you find your life’s calling so that you can be more satisfied, fulfilled, and happier at work. “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit-fruit that will last.” -John 15:16 NIV

Blessing Of Humility

Jerry Bridges sees in the Beatitudes a series of blessings from Jesus, a pattern for humility in action. Starting with poverty in spirit?an acknowledgment that in and of ourselves we are incapable of living holy lives pleasing to God?and proceeding through our mourning over personal sin, our hunger and thirst for righteousness, our experience of persecutions large and small, and more, we discover that humility is itself a blessing: At every turn, God is present to us, giving grace to the humble and lifting us up to blessing.

Living Among Lions
$16.99Add to cartMeet Daniel. A Transformed Man Who Transformed His World. What does an ancient Jewish prophet have to do with modern America? What, if anything, can we learn from a man who lived 2,400 years ago as a captive in the land we now call Iraq? As it turns out, quite a bit. David and Jason Benham are convinced the biblical example of Daniel holds the keys to contemporary Christians living victoriously in a world increasingly hostile to people of faith. Like Daniel, many believers today find themselves in an unfriendly environment, one opposed to the God they serve. Yet, like Daniel, they must learn how to take a stand while serving the people around them. Living Among Lions is for Christian brothers and sisters who have the potential to transform their world but find themselves standing in the shadows wondering how to respond in an unfriendly environment. Divided into three sections, Living Among Lions covers three distinct characteristics that made Daniel strong: Conviction, Commitment, and Courage. Daniel possessed all of these qualities and lived them out. As a result, God gave him unprecedented favor and supernatural power. A mere slave living in exile, Daniel emerged as one of the most powerful men in the known world. Daniel’s conviction, commitment, and courage empowered him not merely to survive in Babylon but to thrive. He did not conform to his world; he transformed his world.

Drawing Of This Love

Julian of Norwich is an ideal companion for personal spiritual growth because her mystical experiences led her to a kind of faith that makes sense to 21st century Christians — a God of unconditional love, of merciful compassion and honesty, and radical belief in the goodness of creation and humanity. Her example provides a map for a faith journey from initial trust, through critical questions and struggle, to resolution – a pattern many experience today.
Fans of Julian will find this a fresh and different exposition of her work, combining the commonly understood teachings of Julian with an exploration of what happens when we try to live them.

As each character struggles to pick up the pieces of life, God’s purpose and plan for them becomes all the more real. By trashing their plans, they begin to pick up their dreams and live again. Are you who you are because of what you are? Or are you what you are because of who you are? Is a piece that deals with the lives of two young men, each thoroughly a victim of their own society.

Through a few bad decisions and wrong turns, they each find the path that God has for them on a road to discovering the meaning of life, friendship, and forgiveness. Runaway Home is about the life of a young girl who has the misfortune of witnessing a terrible incident as a child.

Even with all of her attempts to escape her pain, God brings her back to purpose.

Resurrection Power Of God
$14.99Add to cartThere is a level of faith that causes the dead to live. The Bible says it’s elementary. This is a Chapter that we all need in the Church. I have been given divine revelations from the Holy Spirit and I believe we will see many resurrections in America and across the world. Have you been in the place where just when you have victory, under your belt, the phone rings? Lazarus is dead. All hope that you had for your circumstance is dead. And God says, “I am glad.” Because it is not dead, it is sleeping. And if it is sleeping, I go that I may wake it up.

Questions Preachers Ask examines many questions that are on the minds of preachers today, questions that focus on how to preach the gospel in a culture where biblical knowledge cannot be presumed and where the Bible is often viewed as untrustworthy. Well-known preachers, scholars, and authors, including Barbara Brown Taylor, Gail O’Day, Anna Carter Florence, Richard Lischer, Cleo LaRue, and Thomas Lynch, provide the answers.
This book, compiled to honor writer, preacher, teacher, and scholar Thomas G. Long at the end of his teaching career, addresses practical questions such as “How do we proclaim the good news to young adults who are on the margins of church or have left it?” and “How do we preach to faith communities that are highly diverse?” Perfect for preachers at any stage of their ministry, these essays offer hope and guidance for handling the difficult task of preaching in today’s congregations.

God is always challenging us to expand our spiritual growth. The prophetic must never become boring and routine, but it should always be exciting and new.

Invitation To A Journey (Expanded)
$20.99Add to cartM. Robert Mulholland Jr. defines spiritual formation as “the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others.” Compact and solid, this definition encompasses the dynamics of a vital Christian life and counters our culture’s tendency to make spirituality a trivial matter or reduce it to a private affair between “me and Jesus.” In Invitation to a Journey, Mulholland helps Christians new and old to understand that we become like Christ gradually, not instantly. Not every personality is suited to an early morning quiet time, so Mulholland frees different personality types to express their piety differently. He reviews the classical spiritual disciplines and demonstrates the importance of undertaking our spiritual journey with (and for the sake of) others. This road map for spiritual formation is profoundly biblical and down to earth. In the finest tradition of spiritual literature, it is a vital help to Christians at any stage of their journey. This edition is revised and expanded by Ruth Haley Barton with a new foreword, practices and study guide.

Beloved Mess (Reprinted)
$13.99Add to cartGod’s Empowering Love for Us in the Midst of Our Mess
Life is messy. And Christians are not exempt. Unfortunately, this is not the message we tend to hear. We’re told to be moral, look good, and set a positive example. After all, we’re the only Jesus some people see–so we better make him look good. That’s a heavy burden. And so we work feverishly to hide our messes from each other and from God for fear of judgment . . . all the while wondering how we can ever be loved.
But Christianity is not about being less of a mess. It’s about admitting that we need to be saved “from” trying to clean ourselves up. In “Beloved Mess,” author and blogger Kimm Crandall frees Christians to live with the assurance that God loves us right here, right now. He’s not waiting for us to clean up our act before we’re worthy to come to him. He wants us to stop trying to fix the mess so that we can allow him to wash it away for us.

Pursuing God : A Reckless Irrational Obsessed Love Thats Dying To Bring Us
$18.99Add to cartIs God lost?
Many of us feel that way. It’s as if God’s gone missing, out in the universe somewhere-and we must pick up the hunt, following any trail of breadcrumbs he may have left to go out and find him. We speak of “searching for God,” “exploring spirituality,” and “finding faith.”
But what if we have it backward? What if God is the one pursuing us? What if our job is not to go out and find God, but simply to stop running and hiding? Not to earn God’s love, but to receive it? Not to turn on the light, but to step out of the shadows?
Jesus reveals a God on the prowl, pursuing us, hunting down his world for reconciliation. And the question we’re left with is not whether we’ve pursued hard enough, searched long enough, or jumped high enough . . .
The question is, “Do we want to be found?”

What if there was a real-life invitation to a lifetime of unexpected destinations and adventure? What if your faith was the key?

Two thousand years ago, 12 men answered the call to follow a man they hardly knew–and they were changed in ways they never imagined. Today that same invitation echoes across history, beckoning you to an adventure that will spill into every aspect of your faith and life. Come with Me. Will you say yes?

About The Author
Recommended BooksAdditional Info
This is a book that God has laid on my heart for some time now. I believe that both men and women have dealt firsthand with a spirit called Jezebel. I’m talking about more than just a distant spirit in the Church. I was actually married to this foul spirit. This is a true story of my personal life. I really was married to a woman with a Jezebel spirit. I will tell you the story but will omit the names of people because we don’t deal with flesh and blood but principalities and powers of wickedness in high places. I will start out this book with a chapter that gives some scriptural basis on the spirit of Jezebel and characteristics of this spirit. Then I will write the story referring to many if not all of the characteristics of the Jezebel spirit. I know some people will really get stirred and lash out at me, but until you walk a mile in my shoes, who are you to judge? This book will be controversial, and if you know me at all, I thrive in controversy. -

Cruciform Church : Becoming A Cross Shaped People In A Secular World (Expanded)
$19.99Add to cart“This new edition of The Cruciform Church finds Churches of Christ at a quite different place than they were sixteen years ago when the book was first released. On the one hand, our culture is more clearly post-modern and post-Christian. All of the Christian players today are finding themselves cultural outsiders, much like the earliest Christians. We are waking up to the reality that we are in a missionary situation in our own culture, and this is forcing us (slowly, by fits and starts) to rethink our priorities and our mission. On the other hand, Churches of Christ themselves are engaging more and more in the kind of healthy theological rethinking that this book called for back in 1990. Many congregations are shedding the sectarian or exclusivist outlook, gaining new appreciation for their heritage, refocusing on the central doctrines of the faith, and entering into serious dialogue about carrying out the mission of God in this new time…Perhaps this new edition can continue to provide stimulus and guidance as the adventure continues. Toward that end, this edition contains a new chapter, “Last(ing) Things,” that seeks to show the close relationship between eschatology and discipleship, between one’s view of the coming kingdom of God and the cruciform life.” – From Allen’s Preface to the Revised Edition

From Butterflies To Caterpillars
$11.99Add to cartIt’s a known fact that most butterflies struggle getting their wings. It seems as if the pain of leaving the cocoon is oftentimes just too much to bear. However, without this experience, the butterfly will never gain the strength to fly. So even in the midst of all of the pain and strife, the butterfly presses on. But what happens to the butterflies that don’t leave the cocoon? Do they just go back to being plain old caterpillars? Or due to the absence of their wings, do they become crippled for life? If truth be told, most people float through life just like this. With the pain of the past just harboring too close to home, many people stumble through life too afraid to step over their failures, to cut ties with their pain, or even to fly by their heartaches. But no matter how hard they try to avoid confronting these issues, they can never grow into the person that God has called them to be without it. As I turned this truth into reality, I began to write this piece. This book deals with the lives of two young ladies (Taja and Nicki) who come from very different backgrounds. Just as butterflies struggle to leave the cocoon, both of these young ladies are struggling to press their way through life. They’ve allowed their past situations to cripple them in their growth emotionally, and in their walk with God, spiritually. Through an unusual twist of events, both Taja and Nicki will learn that both redemption and love are possible for those who believe. As the story unfolds, they’ll finally learn how it feels to spread their wings and fly.

Outlaw Christian : Finding Authentic Faith By Breaking The Rules
$19.99Add to cartJacqueline Bussie knows that too many Christians live according to unspoken “laws” that govern the Christian life: #1: Never get angry at God; #2: Never doubt; #3: Never question; #4: Never tell your real story; #5: Always speak in cliches about evil and suffering; and #6: Always believe hope comes easy for those who truly love God.
Living according to these rules is killing real Christian life; Outlaw Christian proposes a rebellious, life-giving, authentic alternative. Through captivating stories and with disarming honesty, Bussie gives concrete, practical strategies to help readers cultivate hope, seek joy, practice accompaniment, compost their pain, and rediscover the spiritual practice of lament. Tackling difficult questions without political divisiveness, Bussie speaks to both progressive and conservative Christians in ways that unite rather than divide. And in doing so, she provides a new way to handle the most difficult and troubling questions of life in a broken world that God will never abandon.

How Jesus Saves The World From Us
$20.00Add to cartChristianity has always been about being saved. But today what Christians need saving from most is the toxic understanding of salvation we’ve received through bad theology. The loudest voices in Christianity today sound exactly like the religious authorities who crucified Jesus.
This is a book for Christians who are troubled by what we’ve become and who want Jesus to save us from the toxic behaviors and attitudes we’ve embraced. Each of the 12 chapters proposes a paradigm shift and antidote for the toxicity that has infiltrated Christian culture, such as “Worship not Performance, “Temple not Program,” and “Solidarity not Sanctimony.” Each chapter includes thought-provoking discussion questions, perfect for individual or group study.
There are many reasons to lose hope about the state of our world and our church, but Guyton offers one piece of good news: Jesus is saving the world from us, one Christian at a time.

Nothing Is Wasted
$14.99Add to cartIn a world that can feel overwhelming, it is easy to see loss as the overriding theme of our existence. From the stress of finances to the pain of aging, we see decay all around us. We see the corrupt nature of a fallen world.
Despite the seeming chaos, God’s loving song of redemption echoes through every fiber of creation. Sometimes we hear the melody loud and clear, but more often it is like the refrain of a musical score that is background to a film-present but so subtle we may be unaware of it.
In Nothing Is Wasted Joseph Bentz explores how God clues us in to the big picture of redemption and eternity amid the most difficult and unlovely things in our lives. He helps us remember how a faithful and all-powerful God desires to transform our pain into beauty.

Lifetime Of Wisdom
$18.99Add to cartIt’s not what I lost. It’s what I’ve found. I was only seventeen, just a girl, when God asked me for everything I had… my health, my hopes, my independence, my dreams, my freedom, and my mobility. He took it all. I was so angry with Him that I tried to push Him away. God relentlessly held me more closely. Looking back, forty years later, I understand that God has changed and healed me – my heart and my mind – in the most unexpected ways, giving me rubies of His wisdom about an unbending faith and an experience of His mercy I can now tell you about. Was it a fair exchange, my freedom and no wheelchair for the rubies of wisdom I’ve been given? Absolutely. In this I have learned at the feet of the Lord Jesus, embracing the way that God heals us, even when we rage at Him in anger, fear, and despair. This book is not about what I lost in that diving accident so long ago. It’s about the wisdom He’s given me to live life victoriously in the face of disappointments and challenges that we all face.

Pigeon Religion Holy Spirit Is That You
$14.99Add to cartHave you ever seen God move tangibly in a powerful worship service? Have you also been unmoved or unaffected by a lively sermon or worship experience? How can you discern when the Holy Spirit is authentically moving, or when a counterfeit spirit is producing manipulation?

Take Hold Of The Faith You Long For (Reprinted)
$17.00Add to cartOn the outside, many women are well-put-together Christians with trendy shoes, beautiful children, and wide, white smiles. On the inside, those same women are little girls cowering at the edge of the playground, hoping no one notices them, yet still wishing they could join in. They’ve professed faith and know the right things, but they struggle to truly take hold of the “life more abundant” that Jesus offers. Instead they settle for a life that’s less than what God has promised them.
In this liberating book, Sharon Jaynes reveals the most common reasons women get stuck with a mediocre, mundane faith. Then she shows women how to break free and move forward, leaving behind the feelings of inferiority, inadequacy, and insecurity that are holding them hostage. She uncovers untapped sources of confidence and courage, equipping women to move from knowing the truth to actually believing it–and living it out boldly in a life marked by true freedom.
