Invitation To Solitude And Silence
$25.99Add to cartWinner of a Christianity Today Book Award! Much of our faith and practice is about words–preaching, teaching, talking with others. Yet all of these words are not enough to take us into the real presence of God where we can hear his voice.

The beauty of a true invitation is that we really do have a choice about embarking on this adventure. God extends the invitation, but he honors our freedom and will not push himself where he is not wanted. Instead, he waits for us to respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes? This expanded edition includes a guide for groups to use both in discussing the book content and in learning to practice silence together.

Exodus From Hunger
$22.00Add to cartIt is within America’s technical and financial power to help end world hunger in our lifetime, if we set our hearts and minds to the task.
Contrary to what many people believe, the world has made measurable advancements against hunger and poverty over the last several decades. But too often the binding constraint on further progress is a simple lack of political will. As a result, one of the most powerful ways to affect change is often the most neglected–political activism.
In this powerful and hopeful book, David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and a leading anti-hunger activist, looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and puts a human face on the problem by sharing stories of people who are, quite simply, hungry every day. The problems can seem overwhelming but Beckmann lays out a clear and workable plan for effectively using political channels to make great progress. He not only challenges us to get involved, he shows us how.
It is no less than our call to do so.

Surviving In An Angry World
$17.99Add to cartThe premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger-and ultimately forgiving the offender-will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as “a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you.” Building on this defintion, Stanley…
1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves.
2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical.
3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps.
4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings.
With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is “the size of thing that makes them angry.” He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that “righteous indignation” is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

Holiness The Key To Revival
$15.99Add to cartThis book is to bring hope, encouragement and fresh vision to the Church.
It is for Christians who are:
* Frustrated – but believing.
* ‘Saved – but stuck’ (‘stuck’ in ‘the wilderness’).
* Forgiven – but not in victory.
* Disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, doubting damaged, defeated and/or desperate.
* Hungry for more of God.For sincere Christians, holiness is usually an aspiration which is only vaguely dreamt about, but with no real concrete, proven direction to follow. Many of God’s people recognize that holiness is a commandment of God……but – how do we become holy and walk in holiness and, is it possible?
This book has the answer – based on the Word of God and testimonies of past saints who did walk in holiness and, through whose lives God was able to move, often bringing revival and thousands of souls to the Lord.
Lack of teaching on this vital doctrine of Experiential Sanctification is a major reason why the Church is not walking in holiness and victory. The lateness of the hour and days in which we live surely spur us on to seek our God with all our hearts, and cry, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God’. ‘Holiness – the Key to Revival’ will enlighten and excite the believer to experience a more effective personal Christian Life.

Jesus You Cant Ignore
$19.99Add to cartBest-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren’t the complete picture. Maybe because it’s uncomfortable, or maybe because it’s inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior and His passionate mission to make the gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. This mission required that he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip. In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus’ ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus’ commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

Pursuit Of The Holy
$15.99Add to cart“Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord.
It’s the most extravagant-and audacious-invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival. -

In Step With God
$19.99Add to cartWhat is God like? Can I trust Him? Does He know me and can He help me tackle the challenges I face? There is a good chance you do not know God the way He desires and certainly not the way He knows you. Most people know a little something about Him, but their knowledge of who He is and how He works stops just past the point of an initial introduction. Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: when you come to a point where you understand His ways, your life takes on new meaning. You stop looking at old problems and feeling defeat, fear, and anxiety. Suddenly, you realize that the Person who gave you life and breath is also the One who has set an amazing course for your life to follow. In Step with God offers steps that lead not only to a deeply personal relationship with Jesus Christ but also provides the insight you need to live each day. In a simple, clear way Dr. Charles Stanley, one of America’s most loved and trusted pastors, encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisions-both big and small-by first knowing and considering God’s character.
Inside you will learn how to:
gain greater intimacy with God
understand how He uses trials to build you up
learn the signs of God’s goodness in day-to-day life
cling more firmly to His love and forgiveness
discover God’s relentless commitment to your well being.“The nearer I draw to the Lord,” writes Dr. Stanley, “the more I will know about Him-His love for me and His good plans and desires for my life. Plus, the more intimate I become with God, the better I understand His ways, and this understanding leads to a deeper longing to know God better. I learn how to discern His will not only for my life but also for the situations I encounter.”

In his third and final book in the Apprentice Series, James Bryan Smith helps us know how to live in relationship with others as apprentices of Jesus. “Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders,” he writes. “They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live.” Yet many times we’ve gotten it wrong, tending to emphasize personal faith over social justice or vice versa. In these pages Jim Smith shows us how to bring spiritual formation and community engagement together, and then once again offers spiritual practices that root new, true narratives about God and the world in our souls. His insight and humility as a fellow learner with us will lead us to live in authentic ways as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers, shining the light of the Spirit into every relationship. -

Abide In Christ
$10.99Add to cartBottom Of The Hill Publishing Publication
Christ beckons us to His banqueting table offering a room in His house, it is up to us whether we choose to step inside. To step though means to abide in Him and experience the unspeakable joy of dwelling with the King of Kings. Andrew Murray knew what it meant to be continually in the Father’s presence. Read these thirty-one heart-searching readings and learn how to live daily in closer communion and fellowship with Him. Accept God’s invitation and live in His blessing and glory instead of shuffling your feet at the gate. “Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” –1 John 2:28 “And now, to all God’s children whom He allows me the privilege of pointing to the Heavenly Vine, I offer my fraternal love and salutations, with the prayer that to each one of them may be given the rich and full experience of the blessedness of abiding in Christ. And may the grace of Jesus, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be their daily portion. Amen.” Andrew Murray was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be “the chief end of the church.” He was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM) later becoming the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965.

Genesis And Life
$17.49Add to cartCleve Jones understands that so many people when facing many of the issues of life do not have the resources to get the help they need. Some problems are beyond the skill set of some pastors and churches.

If this book can reach some people within that context, it will have served one of its purposes.

Step Stones : To The Second Greatest Commandment
$17.99Add to cartHe answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Luke 10: 27-28
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. James 2: 8
I fear that Christians have gotten so caught up within our society that we have forgotten the first and second greatest commandments. In so doing we do ourselves more harm, yet it is our collective selfishness and stubbornness that keeps us from acknowledging that we are nothing without God. We are not doing right and I fear that many will not live. I also fear that many do not know what love is because we have misused the word so often. Step Stones is the path that God led me down when I needed to discover what love really is. My prayers are that it is not too late for our society; that Christians can be the ones leading us to a right standing so that we can we can be forgiven. We must first get back to the basics of what we are called to do. It all comes down to not what God can do for me, but what can I do to further the Kingdom of God. Only love true love will lead us out of this mess we are in.

Worship As It Is In Heaven (Reprinted)
$18.00Add to cartAccording to the Psalms, God is enthroned on the praises of His people–and it is from that throne that He governs the heavens and the earth. If this picture of God’s rule, found throughout the Scriptures, is accurate, shouldn’t the Body of Christ seek to praise the King of heaven and earth in ways that release His kingdom government into specific circumstances? John A. Dickson and Chuck D. Pierce, coauthors of Worship As It Is in Heaven, offer the church a fresh look at heaven’s pattern of worship, instituted in David’s tabernacle and renewed through Jesus’ apostles in the earliest days of the church. This “apostolic worship” is God’s chosen way of establishing His will on earth; through worship, the forces of darkness are pushed back and righteousness prevails. In Worship As It Is in Heaven, readers are invited to enter in to a fullness of worship that the world has too rarely seen: worship that is the conduit of God’s government of peace, justice, and holiness on the earth.

Art Of Breathing
$15.99Add to cartMaking a living or really living?
Really living is an art form. After a few years on this planet, really living seems a bit idealistic. We are more likely to settle for making a living. So what happened? How did our stories end up here? How did we become so disconnected from the life for which we were made? Is there any hope of really living the abundant life Jesus promised?
Life on this side of Eden is not what we hoped for. It is not what we were made for. Something is missing. As we abide in Christ, we offer Him our hearts. He, in turn, offers His heart. We point to Him. He points to us. We give Him our pain. He heals and restores us to wholeness. We give our sin. He gives His forgiveness. We give our lives. He gives His life. We breathe out ourselves and inhale His presence, a fluid motion of abiding. This is the abundant life. This is the art of breathing.

Soul Custody
$15.99Add to cartSoul Custody calls readers to pay attention to the state of their soul-and free it to thrive.
Every day, inner and outer violence ravages the soul, leaving us weak, fearful, and malnourished. In Soul Custody, Stephen W. Smith presents eight choices to help readers reclaim custody of their one and only life-choices about silence, community, vocation, honoring the body, finding one’s true self, and more. As Smith reminds readers, allowing God to shape the soul leads to the deep, full, and satisfying life that God had in mind all along.This is not a self-help book. It is not a book of easy steps to a happy life. It is an invitation to the life God dreams for each of His children. It is a call to start living-to let the soul wake up to life as God intended.

Unbound : A Practical Guide To Deliverance (Reprinted)
$17.99Add to cartNew Look for an Essential Guide to Deliverance
As a pastor and teacher on deliverance, Neal Lozano knows that many believers struggle with the same sin areas time after time. Yet victory can be as simple as tapping into the potent power of the gospel. By focusing on Jesus and his work, rather than on the intimidating aspects of evil spirits, readers can reset their mindset about their spiritual struggles.
In Unbound, Lozano shows readers how to do just this. He also shows them how to find and close any doors they may have opened to evil influence–and, consequently, Satan’s underhanded strategies.

Walking In Wide Places
$17.99Add to cartAnd I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. Psalm 119:45
If you are currently hemmed in and know the pain of feeling trapped, you are probably feeling drawn to this book. Christine Wyrtzen has a heart for you. Confinement has marked much of her life and she had no idea that spacious places, internally, could exist in the midst of crushing circumstances.
If you are intrigued and feel nudged to embark on this journey through Psalm 119, you have a powerful experience awaiting you. You will never look at the Torah again without praising its power and its beauty.
Right now, Jesus sees you in your pit of confinement. Whatever circumstances have fashioned your prison bars, He extends a hand to you. “Come on out,” He invites. “Live by the Word that comes out of my mouth. I will teach you to embrace my ways, and when you listen and follow me, you will know spacious places.” Deliverance from confinement always starts in the heart. The vistas of the kingdom are just around the corner.

Grace In The Shadow Of The Cross
$18.99Add to cartGrace in the Shadow of the Cross is a creative autobiography about how one little girl’s unspeakable abuse became one joyful woman’s testimony of healing. This true story is told in three voices: Ann’s first-hand experiences are described through the character of Grace (who begins with the name Prophet). Accompanying her voice are those of Father God and Deceiver. Father God speaks mainly through Scriptures but also through private prayer conversations actually experienced by Ann. Deceiver’s cruel voice will be all too familiar to abuse survivors.
This book is for those who have known abuse as well as those who love them. It is for the broken, the beaten, the humbled, and the humiliated. Ultimately, it’s a story of hope that will encourage you-no matter your past pain-that God loves you and desires to heal your heart.

Way Of Wisdom
$16.49Add to cartThe apostle Paul tells us that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). At the same time, the book of Proverbs is specifically designed for the discipleship of our sons and daughters. You may not find “education” listed in your concordance, but if you broaden your search to include “son” or “sons” references in Proverbs occur in great abundance. And for good reason, as its main purpose is for teaching children: “To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing” (Pro. 1:2-3). Therefore, I believe parents should be rigorously intentional about teaching Proverbs to their children.
Rearing wise children in an age of foolishness requires concerted effort and thoughtfulness… My hope and prayer is that this book will aid parents as they fulfill their mandate to disciple their children and bring them up in The Way of Wisdom

When Jesus Came Into My Room
$16.49Add to cartThis book is a charming story of a young child’s experience when he in 1960, together with his big family, immigrated to Canada – far away from their homeland Denmark.
We follow him from his early years, as he struggles to adapt to a new culture – all is written in a touching and moving way, but not without a stroke of humour as well.
It all leads up to the year of 1971 where his life took a completely and unexpected turn, beginning from that night in January when “Jesus Christ entered his room!”
The year turned out to be a year of divine visitation for the author.
This book is a great testimony about God’s love and his readiness to reveal himself even to those who don’t seek him.
“My faith in God has been strengthened greatly by reading this book. God is able to make himself known to persons, whether they seek him or not. Esben Rokholm is my co worker in the ministry in my country as well as my friend and my coach and I thank God for him! I can warmly recommend this book!

Unburdened : The Secret To Letting God Carry The Things That Weigh You Down
$16.99Add to cartTyndale House Print On Demand Title
In his Word, God promises us freedom from worry. Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually believed him? What would happen if you took the concerns that grip you, that keep you awake at night, that clench your stomach in knots . . . and truly handed them over to his keeping?
Like no other writer can do, best-selling author Chris Tiegreen opens your eyes and heart to a better, more weightless way to live. Unburdened won’t teach you how to avoid responsibility or hide from serious issues. Neither is it about how to escape and go live on a beach-though having a couple of palm trees around never hurts. It’s about taking the burdens you currently carry and making them much, much lighter. It’s about transferring the weight of your responsibilities from the weak shoulders of your flesh to the strong fingertips of God. It’s about learning to live in deep-down, heart-level freedom. And no one who reads Unburdened will walk away unchanged. -

In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my trust in God? In the sixteen hundreds, Philipp Jakob Spener’s love for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible to their life moved him to start “Colleges of Piety,” or small groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more like Christ? The history of the church has shaped what our faith and practice are like today. It’s tempting to think that the way we do things now is best, but history also has much to teach us about what we’ve forgotten. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith through his vibrant narratives, we may discover that old ways can bring new life to our own spirituality. -

Disciple Making Church (Revised)
$22.00Add to cartEvery Christian, church leader and layperson alike, has been called by Christ to make disciples. But often there is so much focus in our churches on the first part of Christ’s command–evangelism–that the second part–teaching new believers to obey all that Christ commanded–is forgotten. New believers find themselves on their own, trying to figure out what their new life is supposed to look like.
In this well-loved book, Bill Hull explains why disciple-making must be the focus of every believer’s life and shows how each of us can do it. With practical examples drawn from vast ministry experience, Hull helps the church deepen and enrich the lives of believers as they learn to truly follow Christ.

Compromised worship has serious roots-and serious consequences. The Israelites can vouch for that. Through an effort to have the best of both worlds, they spent centuries attempting to worship both Yahweh and the fertility god, Baal. With this misguided concept of the true God and true worship, the Israelites’ lives became immersed in a conspiracy to maintain a love of God and a love of everyday gods.
In The Baal Conspiracy, author Al Truesdale exposes the truth behind what this Baal conspiracy meant for the Israelites: that God, in fact, cannot be denied or shared in any form of worship. With solid biblical scholarship, Truesdale employs historical fiction to explain and explore how Christians can confront and defeat the Baal conspiracy in the Church and in daily living. -
Lord Give Me Patience
$15.99Add to cartWe are an impatient people who want everything done in a hurry. But God refuses to be rushed.
In the words of author James W. Moore:
We love instant results. We want everything done in a hurry these days. We don’t want to wait for anything. We are so different from the earlier generations who ordered things from the Sears catalog and waited with great anticipation for weeks or even months for the items to arrive. We want to pay a little down now (even if we can’t really afford it) and get it today.
We are impatient people looking for immediate action and instant gratification, so much so that God’s patient ways sometimes confuse, perplex, and bother us. We are impatient, but God is deliberate, steady, and long-suffering. We look for the speedy way, the shortcut, the instant answer, the immediate solution. But God takes the long way ’round. God refuses to be rushed.
The way to become a spiritually mature Christian is to spend so much time with Christ that we begin to think and act like him, to spend so much time with him that we take on what the apostle Paul called “the mind of Christ.” It just takes time and effort and commitment. There are no easy, instant solutions. What we need to remember is that the things that matter most take time, effort, commitment, discipline, lots of practice, lots of hard work . . . and lots of patience.
Working chapter titles include, “Lord, Give Me Patience, and Give it to Me Right Now”; “Lord, Give Me Perseverance”; ” Lord, Give Me Faith”; “Lord, Give Me Forgiveness”; “Lord, Give Me Love”; “Lord, Give Me Childlikeness”; “Lord, Give Me Life”; “Lord, Give Me Grace”; and others.
This book includes twelve chapters and a discussion guide.

God is closer to you than the air you breathe. He is present in every given moment. Wake up to his presence! Turn off the mental chatter that keeps you from seeing his glory. Embrace the holy habit of inviting God’s presence into your life, and be transformed!
Wake Up to God’s Presence!
We long to be transformed. Yet our minds are filled with endless trivia and self-centered chatter. To-do lists. Worries about the past. Speculation about the future. We forget to live in the present moment … and to invite God to be with us there.
After reading classic contemplative authors Brother Lawrence, Jean-Pierre de Caussade, and Frank Laubach, theologian and pastor Gregory Boyd longed to experience the presence of God for himself. For two decades, he’s attempted to implement the “practice of the presence of God” in his own life … sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing. What he’s learned as a fellow pilgrim on his spiritual journey can help you find true spiritual transformation as you begin to practice the discipline of inviting God into every moment.
“I’ve become absolutely convinced that remaining aware of God’s presence moment-by-moment is the single most important task in the life of every follower of Jesus,” Boyd writes. “I’m convinced this challenge is implied in our commitment to surrender our life to Christ, for the only real life we have to surrender to him is the one we live moment-by-moment.”

Life With God
$18.99Add to cartRichard Foster expounds on his introduction to the successful Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible and his concept of the “with-God life,” showing how all of Scripture is unified around the theme of how to have a vibrant and dynamic life with God. For Foster, the with-God life concept allows the “river of life that flows through the Bible into the thirsty wastelands of the human soul.” Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of God’s plan for seeking out a relationship to us, Foster sees the Bible as “the loving heart of God made visible and plain” to us. The with-God life “is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is solid, serene, simple, radiant. It takes no time, though it permeates all of our time.” Readers will discover a whole new way to read Scripture, making it much more a doorway to a lifestyle to master rather than merely knowledge to understand.

For The Love Of The Lord (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99Add to cartAn in-depth look at what the Bible teaches about love and how that love should transform us.
The title For the Love of the Lord has a double meaning – it refers both to the love God has for us and the love we have for God. But what is love? How does it make us act? How does it change us? In this book, author Nancy Ferguson sets out to free readers from preconceived notions by finding out what the Bible says about love.
By acting out love toward others, we learn more about what it really is and what it can do. As we learn more about the love that God lavishes on us, we mature in the love of the Lord. As we mature in that love, we love God and others more and more. Thus, Nancy demonstrates, love is a circle that spirals upward until we reach our final destination, where we shall spend eternity basking in the glories of heaven in God’s presence. “My prayer,” writes Nancy, “is that as you read this book, you will learn more of God’s love and be drawn closer to the Source of the unlimited love lavished upon us daily, and that you will let that love transform your life into what God wants you to be.”
In this back-to-basics study, Nancy shares her passion for the Bible and God’s generous love.

Into His Presence
$16.49Add to cartSo What’s It All About?
Entering into His presence!
Now and ForeverNot always but often it seems, SUFFERING becomes the pathway leading to the highest awareness of God’s presence. I have, therefore, imagined characters who endure differing degrees of challenge, sadness, or suffering.
But I pray my readers will patiently read on past the sorrow, anticipating the vicarious joy of entering into His presence with Nick, or Matt, or Timmy, or the young guilty sinner-and with all the others!
No matter the intensity of the struggle, each character discovers powerful victory in this life’s journey or transitions into ultimate victory-into the King’s eternal presence.
Oh, to catch a glimpse of Him-for now and forever!
The greatest gift I have ever received is the apprehension of just one profound truth-that life everlasting and joy unending is available at no cost to us, for King Jesus paid it all.

Final Approach : Why Did America Turn Against God
$13.49Add to cartIt is the purpose of this book to use Scripture, not an opinion, to implore Christians to carefully consider their actions now more than ever in their life-
People are unprepared for the end of the age because they have been fed teaching that is far from scriptural truth, for example:
Did God’s prophets challenge a ruler of the nation-or did they stay out of politics?
Future sins are forgiven? -Scripture versus popular opinion
Born again-Jesus expected Nicodemus to understand the concept, because it is from the Old Testament. Do you?
Can you name apostles that used a sinner’s prayer in the New Testament?
Does saying you repent meet God’s requirements for repentance?
Was baptism a Jewish concept? Or is it New Testament?
Does grace have any relationship to forgiveness?
Is faith a thought of the mind, or an action?
Scriptures are presented on these subjects with a way to have insight into their intended meanings-the words people usually miss are made bold to insure they are recognized. Through studying the Scriptures you will be able to research these and other questions like these, and draw your own conclusions. -

Best Investment Money Cant Buy
$14.99Add to cartThese messages were written from ideas that God gave me from a variety of settings. Some messages came from ideas I heard during church sermons, Christian broadcasting, crusades, reading books, events that have happened, my own personal experiences, the Bible, and a mission trip to Africa.
Key words or phrases would be said or read about during these different settings and then God would inspire me to write about what was heard or read. Some ideas came from personal experiences and then confirmed by other messages that were being preached. I write down almost every message that I hear preached at Church, or at the Crusades.
The final inspiration to write this book came from my circumstances at church. I had a lot of messages ready to preach, but was not having an opportunity to preach them. I was starting to get bitter and God inspired me to put these messages in a book and said the messages would reach a lot more people this way. I heard the call and did what God called me to do and now I am better not bitter.

Holy Spirit Is Not For Sale
$18.00Add to cartFor more than sixteen years, veteran journalist J. Lee Grady has kept a finger on the pulse of the charismatic and Pentecostal renewal, which restored the power of the Holy Spirit to the church, but which now suffers from abuse. Since many Spirit-empowered believers have lost their original focus and purity, Grady delves into some of the problems that plague churches and ministries: financial scandal, faulty theology, moral failure, and more.
Yet the message of this fervent journalist, who loves the gifts of the Spirit, isn’t one of condemnation and finger-pointing. Instead it is a clarion call to restore the fire of supernatural anointing with biblical boldness, purity, integrity, humility, truth, justice, and compassion. Grady longs for every believer to find or recover a genuine experience with the Holy Spirit.
Among the topics he addresses are:
* the genuine work of the Holy Spirit
* strategies for developing healthy leaders
* how to set up proper accountability structures
* why so many churches and ministries have imploded in recent yearsWith extraordinary insight, a keen eye for discernment, and a desire to see the church purified and believers empowered, Grady gives a straightforward and ultimately affirming message that will expose the problems and ignite believers with God’s fire.

Jesus Que No Puedes Ignorar – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartBest-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacksagainst the truth.
Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren’t the complete picture. Maybe because it’s uncomfortable, or maybe because it’s inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior, his passionate mission to make the gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God: a mission that required he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip.
In the much-needed message of El Jesus que no puedes ignorar, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus’ ministry. MacArthur points to the compelling picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus’ commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

God In Pursuit
$13.99Add to cartWhat is the turning point that causes a curious journalist and atheist to walk into a church and be converted to Christ the first time she takes communion?

What is that moment at which God’s disruptive Spirit invades the lives of even the unlikeliest of individuals, drawing them into relationship with Christ? Joseph Bentz calls this the tipping point.In God in Pursuit, Bentz identifies and celebrates the sparks that allow faith to catch fire in the lives of new believers who were once hostile or indifferent to God.

Free Book : I Am A Fanatic About Freedom And Im Fanatical About Coming At Y
$18.99Add to cart“I am a fanatic about freedom and I’m fanatical about coming at you hard in this book.”Maybe you’re not as free as you think you are. Even worse, you may have been duped into believing that a “balanced” life is the key to happiness (it isn’t) or that a relationship with God is about layering on rules and restrictions (nope). Tome says it best. “I’m tired of seeing people beaten down by the world’s systems and by religion. I’m sick of seeing people live safe, predictable lives while their God-given passion dies. I hate the assumption that getting close to God means more rules and restrictions. No more. God’s offering real freedom. Get yours.” The Bible says that, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Not fear. Not guilt. Not morality. Freedom. You can have the sort of joy you thought only kids could have. The day of freedom is here.
