Hyper Grace : Exposing The Dangers Of The Modern Grace Message
$15.99Add to cartAt a time when the church needs an urgent wake-up call and a fresh encounter with Jesus, the hyper-grace message is lulling many to sleep.
Is there a new reformation sweeping the church today, a reformation as radical and important as the Protestant Reformation that rocked the world five hundred years ago?
According to a growing number of Christian leaders, the answer is yes. But many of these modern grace teachers, in their zeal to safeguard the glories of grace, are preaching their message without regard to fundamental aspects of biblical truth including:
*God’s requirement for holy living from His people
*The impact sin has on our relationships with God
*The foundational relevance of the Old Testament to our lives as ChristiansWithout watering down the Bible’s true message of grace, Michael Brown exposes the facts about the modern grace message that are too often embraced by believers who are not just looking for freedom from legalism but also freedom from God’s standards.

I Wish Jesus Hadnt Said That
$19.99Add to cartIn contemporary culture, many people are driven by a desire to secure their own happiness. But Christians are called to abandon, not cherish, the ways of the world and reject, not pursue, the things that afford us status, prestige, and pleasure.
In I Wish Jesus Hadn’t Said That, Steve Timmis calls all believers to consider ten sayings of Jesus that reveal where our affections lie in order to powerfully reorient our hearts.
Among the well-known sayings and stories of Jesus that Timmis unpacks are ‘You cannot serve both God and money’ and ‘Love your enemies’. Though most people have read these words countless times, most of us have not engaged with them on a level that prompts action. In this book, Timmis challenges true followers of Jesus to grapple with what it means to follow him, and accept his verdict on what constitutes the good life.

Chapter 1: Called To Be Saints: The Need For A Compelling Theology Of Holiness
Chapter 2: Union With Christ
Chapter 3: Holy People Are Wise People: An Invitation To Sapiential Holiness
Chapter 4: Called To Do Good Work: An Invitation To Vocational Holiness
Chapter 5: Learning To Love: An Invitation To Social Holiness
Chapter 6: Joy And The Ordering Of The Affections: An Invitation To Emotional Holiness
Appendix 1: Congregations And Transformation: The Church And The Call To Spiritual Maturity
Appendix 2: Christian Higher Education: A Passion For Wisdom And Spiritual TransformationAdditional Info
Evangelicals are known for their emphasis on conversion. But what about life after conversion and beyond justification? Desperately needed is a comprehensive theology of the Christian life from beginning to end, along with the means of formation and transformation. In Called to Be Saints, Gordon Smith draws on a distinguished lifetime of reflecting on these themes to offer us a theologically rich account of our participation in the life of Christ. Both profound and practical, this book is a trinitarian theology of holiness that encompasses both justification and sanctification, both union with Christ and communion with God. Smith unfolds how and why Christians are called to become wise people, do good work, love others and enjoy rightly ordered affections. If holiness is the ongoing journey of becoming mature in Christ, then there is no better guide than Smith. Christians in every walk of life will find this a rich resource for learning what it means to “grow up in every way . . . into Christ” (Ephesians 4:15). -
Satisfied : Discovering Contentment In A World Of Consumption
$18.99Add to cartWhy does a contented, satisfied life feel so evasive? What deep hungers drive the reckless purchasing habits, out of control accumulation, and crazy consumer lifestyle for so many of us? And why are we often driven more by what our neighbors own than what will truly make us happy?
For many in the recent economic financial crisis a series of lifestyle adjustments became necessary as hours were slashed at work and paychecks diminished. Vacations were simplified or canceled, even important purchases had to be delayed and any extras were put on hold.
In the midst of paring back and cutting down there lies the critical question: Will a spirit of resentment and complaint invade our heart or can deep, inner joy prevail, even as our dreams seem to fade? Is it possible to live a deeply satisfied life as possessions and opportunities slip away?
Followers of the Christ, living in the first century world, also wrestled with issues related to material longings. For Christians living in Ephesus, Philippi, and Laodicea, the tendency to find their identity through accumulation and comparison was alive and well. These powerful longings are addressed in numerous places in the storyline of scripture — a storyline that points us toward material and financial sanity and the pathway to true abundance and deep satisfaction.
Satisfied will draw richly from seven passages of scripture, exploring the way in which these messages were received by the original readers and the way these passages can transform the way we view wealth, accumulation, and ultimate contentment today.

Men Mentoring Men (Revised)
$18.95Add to cartIt’s no secret: Jesus has called us to make disciples. But how can we do that if we aren’t growing in faith? How can we tell others about Jesus if we don’t fully understand Him ourselves?
It’s time to expose the world’s definition of manhood, reminding those who are caught up in material pursuits that heaven’s measure of success lies in the status of our hearts. By divine standards, when we embrace God’s call on our lives, we finally discover what it means to be a man. As we pursue God, we learn to love, serve, forgive, pray, and worship in ways that allow us to know God’s ways. We become disciples.
Sometimes, discipleship is made too complicated. We turn it into another task instead of realizing it’s about relationship. In fourteen lessons, each packed with scriptural truths and relevant concerns, Dr. Donovan leads men into community with one another, providing room for vulnerable discussions and genuine growth.
Other books by Dr. Donovan include: Men Mentoring Men, Again; Maximizing Your Marriage; and Able to Stand.

All In Student Edition
$16.99Add to cartThe Gospel costs nothing—it’s a free gift compliments of God’s grace. But while it doesn’t cost anything, it demands everything—including that we go ‘all in,’ a term that means placing all that you own into the game of life. And that’s where many of us get stuck. What if we miss out on what this life has to offer? The truth is, the only thing you’ll miss out on is everything God has to offer. Inside these pages, Mark Batterson shares vivid stories of people going all in for a greater purpose, ranging from the against-all-odds defense of Little Round Top in the Civil War to the lives of biblical characters like Shamgar and Moses and Elijah and Caleb and … Judas. The message of All In Student Edition is simple: if Jesus is not Lord of all then Jesus is not Lord at all. It’s all or nothing. It’s now or never. Jesus gave all of Himself for you on Calvary’s cross. He wants all of you in return. In essence, your life is not your own—but it can be more amazing than you ever dared imagine if you decide to go all in.

Are We Preaching Another Gospel
$17.49Add to cartFrom the author’s perspective the answer to Are We Preaching “Another” Gospel? is a resounding, “Yes.” “It isn’t that we don’t understand the basic tenants of Christianity,” she writes, “but that we have added to them.”
We used to joyfully proclaim, “Christianity isn’t a religion. It’s a relationship with Jesus Christ,” but if this is so, then why are so many Christians today “miserable”? Why do they have a sense that God is far off or lack confidence that He loves them? What happened to the joy they knew “the hour they first believed”? Why does their “relationship” with Jesus actually seem more like a “religion”-a very difficult, demanding, and unsatisfying religion? Why are so many believers, even though they love Jesus with all of their hearts, giving up on “church” or simply attending out of duty or tradition?
The answers to these questions found in the content of this book are challenging-not that they are difficult to understand-but that our long-held traditions and false beliefs which keep getting passed on from generation to generation stand in our way of perceiving the truth. Jesus said that knowing the truth would set us free, but if our teaching nullifies that truth, bondage follows. So it is reasonable for us, the church, to consider whether or not what we teach is the “grace of Christ” that sets believers free or whether we are preaching “another” gospel which is tying God’s people in hundreds of painful and complicated knots.
So, let the journey begin toward rediscovering the “gospel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24)! Be prepared to be stretched, challenged, and then set free into the glorious good news of your relationship with God.

You Dont Have To Be Perfect To Follow Jesus
$12.99Add to cartDiscipleship means being like the Big Twelve disciples, right? But when you read the Gospels and Acts, it’s clear the disciples weren’t always on top of things. In fact, the disciples were clueless, selfish, erratic, inconsistent, and faithless at least half the time. But Jesus loved them and used them all the more for it. Author Mike Yaconelli scrubs away centuries of sentimental buildup and shows there’s hope for us too. In this updated thirty-day devotional, you’ll experience thirty character traits that are marks of a disciple, from boldness to weakness to preparedness. Each reading includes an event from Scripture, a description of that day’s trait, first-person commentary, the obvious and not-so-obvious truth lesson, and questions and journaling space that invite you to ponder and write about your experience.

What keeps us from truly following Jesus Christ is that our hearts are pursuing something or someone else like money or popularity. While these pursuits may not be the ‘graven images’ of old, they are in fact modern day idols. Behind the sin you’re struggling with, the fear you’re dealing with, the lack of purpose you’re living with is a false god that is winning the war for your heart.

Restless : Because You Were Made For More
$19.99Add to cartA practical plan to identify the threads of your life and how to intentionally weave them together for God’s glory and purposes.
Restless explores the fact that God has called each of us to do great things in his name, and then helps us discover what that might mean for each of us individually. Jennie says, “We are called to dream but we’re afraid to. But because we are called, when we don’t act on it we become restless-restless to find purpose, to make a difference in the world, to matter.”
Jennie doesn’t suggest women add one more thing to their to-do list, but instead invites them to stop and listen where they are. She frees them to be themselves and to see themselves as valuable. In addition to this permission to dream she helps them get over themselves and their issues and then offers a simple process on highly designed journal pages to identify the raw materials-the unique threads-they’ve been given by digging into five areas:
*Gifts
*Suffering
*Places
*People
*PassionsUsing her own story and that of women with whom she has walked through this process as examples, Jennie weaves in the story of Joseph the dreamer and how God used his threads to fit into the greater story of God. Untangling the threads of our lives and assembling them together in one place reveals a beautiful plan designed by the Creator himself:
God’s Agenda + my threads + the need + the Holy Spirit = my purposeAnd since living out our purpose is often filled with uncertainties Jennie addresses the doubts, fears, and challenges that hold women back from what they’ve been called to do. This repositioning of their lives is not a promise that all things will be perfect, or will go perfectly, but a promise that it will be the start of the best part of life-the part that completes what we were made for.

Dark Threads The Weaver Needs
$14.99Add to cartSuffering is an age-old question that has puzzled the people of God since time began. After all, if our God is both a loving and an all-powerful being, why does He allow such pain and suffering in the world?
At the age of eighty-two, legendary Bible scholar Dr. Herbert Lockyer took on this question. As he watched his wife of sixty-six years slowly fade from loving spouse to an incapacitated person who needed his constant care, it caused him to look upon her afflicted, helpless form, and ask, O my God, why?
In this outstanding work, Lockyer does not present ideas on how to cope with suffering but teaches how to pass through it, removing self-pity and using personal trials as a springboard to help others. In the midst of his darkest hour, Lockyer examines the problem of human suffering in light of God’s love and His eternal plan.

Making Disciples In The 21st Century Church
$14.95Add to cartMore than a decade ago, Bill Hull wrote The Disciple Making Pastor. Hull criticized America’s Sunday attendance strategies as being totally inadequate and emphasized the need to make disciples. I resisted Hull’s teaching, thinking he lacked church growth insight. At that time, I primarily judged church growth success by how many were seated in a church in the worship service.
Yet now I applaud the concept of growing a church from the inside out and measuring success by disciples made and sent forth. The only command, in fact, of Christ’s great commission was to make disciples. The rest of the verbs in Matthew 28:18-20 are not in the command form but are actually participles. Jesus literally said, “having gone, make disciples.” (Matt. 28:18).
We know that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. While this is God’s ultimate plan, does he have a particular purpose for the cell-based church? I’ve been wrestling with this question for the past twenty-two years. This question confronts me every time I coach a pastor or pastors. In preparation for coaching, I ask myself, “What is my principal objective in helping this pastor?” “Where am I guiding this church?” “What am I trying to do?”
This book answers these questions.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the primary goal of cell ministry is to make disciples who make disciples. Christ’s last command to his disciples was for them to repeat the process and to reproduce new disciples. But how were they supposed to do that?
We in North America and the Western world often project our own cultural bias into Christ’s great commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Most discipleship books, in fact, assume that discipleship is an individualistic endeavor–between me and God. And yes, there is an important individual aspect (e.g., personal devotions, etc.). Yet in Matthew 28, Jesus was talking to a group of disciples. He wanted them to follow his example by making disciples in a group. Jesus molded twelve disciples in a group and then sent them house to house.
The early church followed Christ’s pattern by making disciples through the house churches that periodically celebrated together in public worship. In 2 Timothy 2:1-2, Paul tells Timothy to continue the discipleship process by passing on the pure gospel message to faithful men and women. Even though the term “disciple” is later replaced by words such as “brothers/sisters,” “Christians,” and “saints,” the concept remain

Choice #2: Choosing to Be Okay With Not Being Okay
Choice #3: Choosing to Trust Rather Than Please

Jesus Greater Than Religion
$19.99Add to cartAbandon dead, dry, rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved.
Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation in 2012 with a passionate, provocative poem titled “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus.” The 4-minute video literally became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). The message blew up on social-media, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged.
In Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks similar contrasts that he drew in the poem-highlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair and hope. With refreshing candor he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior.
Bethke is quick to acknowledge that he’s not a pastor or theologian, but simply a regular, twenty-something who cried out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled. Along his journey, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who beckoned him beyond the props of false religion.

Million Little Ways (Reprinted)
$16.00Add to cartThe majority of us would not necessarily define ourselves as artists. We’re parents, students, businesspeople, friends.

A Million Little Ways uncovers the creative, personal imprint of God on every individual.

She invites regular people to see the artistic potential in words, gestures, attitudes, and relationships. Readers will discover the art in a quiet word, a hot dinner, a made bed, a grace-filled glance, and a million other ways of showing God to the world through the simple human acts of listening, waiting, creating, and showing up.

It’s an Either-Or world. We find ourselves caught between competing factions, secular or religious, conservative or liberal. We are pulled between extremes on one side or the other. But the Christian faith holds together seemingly contradictory ideas: Jesus is both human and divine; God is both three and one. There is a paradoxical power in the Both-And. Rich Nathan and Insoo Kim show how Christians can live out the fullness of the gospel through the Both-And. They affirm that we believe in both proclamation and demonstration of the gospel, justice and mercy, and unity and diversity as one body with many parts. The answer is not to choose one or the other, but to hold both together for a richer, more holistic experience of Christianity. Then we will live into the realities of the kingdom of God, both now and not yet, on earth as it is in heaven. The Both-And Christian is both timeless and timely, hewing to the orthodoxy of traditional belief while always contextualizing our witness in a rapidly changing world. Discover how you can deepen your discipleship with the larger vision of the Both-And. -

Almost daily believers can hear or read reports of the many miracles of healing and deliverance that are occurring throughout the world.

The personal stories and testimonies offer a unique view on many aspects of God’s love and calling. Ruonala describes visions, dreams, and prophetic revelations that shed light on God’s desire for His people. She also gives many examples of how God’s love has been made manifest through miracles of healing and deliverance.

Turnaround God : Discovering Gods Transformational Power
$18.99Add to cartDon’t settle for less than what God can do.
We often face situations in life that are hard. Whether it be a job loss, a difficult marriage, or problems with the kids-harsh storms come, and we can quickly feel overwhelmed, even desperate.
In the beginning of creation, God entered the darkness and void and displayed his turnaround nature. He spoke words that turned darkness into light and filled the emptiness with fruitfulness. His turnaround power brought order into the chaos. In the same way, God enters our lives with the power of his turnaround ability and offers not just a slight improvement but a complete turn around.
Turnarounds by their nature are radical. They bypass nice and sensible, they freak out the orderly, and they do not line up with agendas. But turnarounds reveal our miraculous Savior to a messed-up world.
Using examples from her own life and those of biblical characters, international speaker and teacher Charlotte Gambill offers that God is more than just a little bit of help, he’s all the help; we need. It’s time for us to fully understand that there is nothing that God can’t turn around!

Going All In
$4.99Add to cartThis powerful booklet, excerpted from All In tells us that the Gospel costs nothing, but demands everything. If Jesus is not Lord of all, He is not Lord at all. It’s all or nothing. It’s now or never. It’s time to ante up and go all in with God. No one has ever sacrificed anything for God. If you always get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all? The eternal reward always outweighs the temporal sacrifice. At the end of the day, our greatest regret will be whatever we didn’t give back to God. What we didn’t push back across the table to Him. Eternity will reveal that holding out is losing out. Batterson writes, ‘For many years, I thought I was following Jesus. I wasn’t. I had invited Jesus to follow me. I call it inverted Christianity. And it’s a subtle form of selfishness that masquerades as spirituality. That’s when I sold out and bought in. When did we start believing that the gospel is an insurance plan? It’s a daring plan. Jesus did not die just to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.’

He wants to use your life in a way he will use no one else’s. Don’t shrink back from your destiny; lean into it. The Bible says you are a friend of God. Beloved. Highly esteemed. Known. More than conquerors. God sees your potential. It is your inability, not your perfection, that makes you an underdog worth using in God’s eyes. So rise up, underdog!

Consider The Birds
$18.99Add to cartFrom biblical times to today, humans have found meaning and significance in the actions and symbolism of birds. We admire their mystery and manners, their strength and fragility, their beauty and their ugliness-and perhaps compare these very characteristics to their own lives in the process. Though admired today, the birds of Scripture are largely unseen and underappreciated. From the well-known image of the dove to the birds that gorge on the flesh of the defeated “beast” in Revelation, birds play a dynamic part in Scripture. They bring bread to the prophets. They are food for the wanderers. As sacrifices, they are the currency of mercy. Highlighting 10 birds throughout Scripture, author Debbie Blue explores their significance in both familiar and unfamiliar biblical stories and illustrates how and why they have represented humanity across culture, Christian tradition, art, and contemporary psyche. With these (usually) minor characters at the forefront of human imaginations, poignant life lessons illuminate such qualities as desire and gratitude, power and vulnerability, insignificance and importance-even as readers gain a better understanding that God’s mysterious grace is sometimes most evident in His simplest of creatures.

To be fully human is to think. The apostle Paul calls us to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor 10:5). But James Emery White fears that Western Christians are failing in this task. Because we have not developed good intellectual habits, our minds instead have been captured by our culture. A Mind for God is written to help us break free from this cultural captivity through the spiritual and intellectual disciplines of reading, study and reflection.

Beyond his realization of his need for frequent intervention from God, he had hungered to truly know the Lord.In I Will Be Found by You he reveals that the deliberate movement of our hearts toward God leads us into far more than a simple answer to our need-we actually find Him. He teaches us how to reconnect with the living One-who is our rescuer, our redeemer, and the restorer of our souls. We discover God to be an ally whose wisdom is all-encompassing, whose incalculable power can transform all things with just one look.
Our great need is for more of God, which will bring an end to the reality of many who are pining away spiritually. This book reveals the key to seeking God and possessing a heart after God-a key that unlocks everything important.

Finding Eve : Discover Your True Identity As A Daughter Of God
$14.99Add to cartFind your way to the heart of God, where you will discover all you need to fulfill His purposes for your life.In Genesis 3 the serpent came to Eve and within moments caused her to think she was lacking something. When she looked at the forbidden tree, she saw that it was pleasant to the eyes, good for food, and had the power to make one wise. Although she already possessed beauty, provision, and an intimate relationship with God, she thought she needed more. So she ate the fruit-and lost the comfort and security of the garden because she doubted God. Many women today are falling into the same trap. We allow Satan to convince us we aren’t enough, when in fact we are already complete in Christ.Finding Eve follows Eve’s journey to find her way back to God’s heart and to discover her true identity as a daughter of God. This book is designed to encourage women who may be facing disappointment, the fallout from bad choices, or the pain of unfilled dreams. It will offer hope and equip them to be all they were intended to be in the kingdom of God.

You attend every movie featuring a certain actor, you know the stats of your sports hero, and you can recite lyrics from your favorite songs. In short, you’re a huge fan. But are you treating Jesus the same as the other people you admire? The truth is Jesus wants more than the church attendance, occasional prayer, and the ability to recite Scripture—the fan response.

So, will you be a fan, or a follower?

Touching The Hem

What Does God Say About suffering? As humans, we are bound to suffer physical affliction on this earth. However, as Christians, what should our response be to that affliction?

My Romance With God
$17.95Add to cartOur relationship with God tends to be complicated because He knows us only too well while we are limited in our knowledge and to our ignorance of God. As a result, our bond with Him strains as it weaves in and out of an ambivalent and whimsical love-hate relationship.
This book is for Christians who are confused, lost and entangled in this intricate web with God. Having our faith constantly challenged, we find ourselves tired and mired in a relationship that seems to be running out of steam. The daily battles we fight to survive are more than we can handle, let alone having to deal with an unpredictable and unfathomable God.
My Romance with God chronicles an episode in my life that reveals a glimpse of God. It captures pieces of an intangible portrait that paints an enigmatic yet vibrant relationship that can prove overwhelming, and yet quenching the thirst and satisfying the hunger of our spirit. Knowing the Word is good. Understanding it is even better. But living it is best, because it is only by living the Word that one can truly believe.
I know that God spoke to me through these pages. I know that He will also speak to those who read it.
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like Eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Come And Learn Of Me
$19.95Add to cartCome and Learn of Me
Pastor Monteria of CLM Ministries, Int’l, in sharing the message of Jesus according to Matthew 11:28-30, states that Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
There are many basic benefits that belong to us as Christians. Many Christians have an understanding of Salvation, and that is limited to eternal life. For many Christians, eternal life is what they look forward to when they depart from this world into eternity. In studying the Word of God, one can see that eternal life begins the moment you are saved, and there are many benefits of salvation that are to be enjoyed now, as part of our daily life.
Jesus said: “Come unto Me; I will give you rest for your soul, My Yoke is easy, and my
burden is light”Pastor Monteria shows the necessary steps that one must take to grow from being a baby in Christ to becoming a mature Christian. Some of your basic questions will be answered about the love of God, the peace of God, and a greater understanding of the Kingdom of God. Also, if you desire to mature spiritually, this is covered in Section Two. This book offers insight and encouragement that will ignite you with a passion to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ better and to study His Word daily.

Divine Commodity : Discovering A Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity
$22.99Add to cartThe challenge facing Christianity today is not a lack of motivation or resources, but a failure of imagination. A growing number of people are disturbed by the values exhibited by the contemporary church. Worship has become entertainment, the church has become a shopping mall, and God has become a consumable product. Many sense that something is wrong, but they cannot imagine an alternative way. The Divine Commodity finally articulates what so many have been feeling and offers hope for the future of a post-consumer Christianity. Through Scripture, history, engaging narrative, and the inspiring art of Vincent van Gogh, The Divine Commodity explores spiritual practices that liberate our imaginations to live as Christ’s people in a consumer culture opposed to the values of his kingdom. Each chapter shows how our formation as consumers has distorted an element of our faith. For example, the way churches have become corporations and how branding makes us more focused on image than reality. It then energizes an alternative vision for those seeking a more meaningful faith. Before we can hope to live differently, we must have our minds released from consumerism’s grip and captivated once again by Christ.

$19.99Add to cartBut I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. -Acts 20:24 (ESV)
Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life,” says Billy Graham, known by many as God’s Ambassador. “I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way.”
In Nearing Home this man of faith-now in his nineties-explores the challenges of aging while gleaning foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home that eclipses this world. “When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice,” says the author. “Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his commitment to finishing life well.
“Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God’s point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day.” -BILLY GRAHAM

Saved But Not A Christian
$14.49Add to cartIf you picked this book cover to read, then you are one step closer to one of the best guides for Christian maturity ever published. Inside are the answers to why Christianity gets a “bad rep” in today’s world. New believers need mentoring and mentors need to understand their role. The steps to mentoring in the ‘faith’ are outlined in an easy conversational style. You will pick up this book again and again and share over and over.

I’m sure if we are honest with ourselves, we have been in that group; that made the passing remarks or comments. I assure you most of the time those cutting remarks find their way to the individual that was the topic of conversation. Let’s us start afresh, with a new insight, a revelation if you will. That we will be swift to hear, slow to speak and even slower to judge. Knowing that the Father of Light does the same for us.

Victim Of Grace
$18.99Add to cartRobin Jones Gunn reveals poignant truths from her life as well as from the lives of women in the Bible as she flips the notion that we are at the mercy of circumstances. She asks, what if God has dreams for you? What if he is accomplishing those dreams in the midst of shattered hopes?
When life doesn’t go as expected, it’s easy to feel like a victim. We look at the events that have gone wrong and view our lives as impaired. What if we could see our future as God sees it? Would our view radically change if we understood we are indeed victims rather than of happenstance?
God, the Relentless Lover, has vigorously sought you. He has instilled dreams in your heart that are grander than you can imagine. But the route to their fulfillment often is through a path you wouldn’t seek.
What if God wants to take the hopes that tug at your heart and enliven them? Are you ready to live inside the mysterious joy of being a victim of grace?
