Who Stole My Church
$18.99Add to cartHas your church been hijacked? Millions of people in their fifties, sixties, and seventies feel their churches have been hijacked by church-growth movements characterized by loud praise bands, constant PowerPoint presentations, and cavernous megachurches devoid of any personal touch. They are bewildered by the changes, and are dropping out after thirty, forty, or fifty years in a congregation. It’s a crisis! In this fictional story, pastor and author Gordon MacDonald uses topical examples and all-too-familiar characters to reassure readers that it is possible to embrace change, and to demonstrate how that change can actually be a positive influence in their church. The church, he says, has always been in a state of change; it has been changing for the last two thousand years. It is time to embrace that change and use it further the Kingdom of God

AcknowledgmentsAdditional Info
James Bryan Smith believes we have bought into false notions of happiness and success. We find ourselves caught up in self-serving decisions that lead us further into the vices that cause ruin: anger, lust, lying, worry and judging. In this follow up to his first book, The Good and Beautiful God, Smith traces through the Sermon on the Mount and helps us look behind these sins to replace our false beliefs with Jesus’ naratives about life in the kingdom of God. -

Holy Subversion : Allegiance To Christ In An Age Of Rivals
$20.00Add to cartChristians are too often guilty of pledging their allegiance to the influential principalities and powers of this age rather than to Christ alone. In Holy Subversion, Trevin Wax challenges such behavior by urging a return to the subversive lifestyle of the earliest Christians. Their proclamation and demonstration that “Jesus is Lord” directly opposed the Caesar worship of their day.
Today, Christians in the West must choose between Jesus and our “Caesars”: self, success, money, leisure, sex, power. What would it look like, asks Wax, if today’s church reclaimed the communal, subversive nature of the gospel, intentionally undermining all contenders for our devotion? How would the message that “Jesus is Lord” change our thinking about our jobs, our families, and our church participation? Here this gifted pastor-theologian offers help in taking our faith public, dethroning modern-day Caesars, honoring the Lordship of Christ, and understanding the church as the ultimate counterculture-an embodiment of Christ’s supremacy over all.

Maestro Del Amor – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cartLet the Master of love sow his beautiful seeds in the soil of your soul.
In El Maestro del amor, the fourth book in the Analisis de la Inteligencia de Cristo series, Augusto Cury researches Jesus’ passion for human beings. In his poetic approach, also based on science, history, and psychology, Cury studies the exciting messages Jesus left us before dying on the cross.
Jesus Christ suffered, wept, and faced moments of intense anxiety. Throughout it all, he remained perfect in his ability to forgive, respect, understand, and show mercy. More than anything, he was brilliant in the art of loving, of being the leader of his own world and his own emotions. He taught us how to break the chains of fear and live in the power of love.

Para Esto Fui Creado – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cartSPANISH EDITION. Your life is a gift waiting to happen, as you search for and find the reason that you were born.
At some point, everyone contemplates the “meaning of life.” All over the world, people are on a quest to find answers as they search for someone or something to believe in.
In Brian Houston’s book, For This I Was Born, he says that to know the Cause of Christ is to understand why you were born, to know what you are living for, and to decide what you are prepared to die for. If you do not know the meaning of life, he says, you will never live a life of meaning. Houston desires that each of his readers come to know the cause of Christ. His Cause, he says, is the key that opens us to new places of vision, passion, strength, and reason for living.
Brian and his wife Bobbie are the senior pastors of what is possibly Australia’s largest church, Hillsong Church in Sydney, which has a growing congregation of over 18,000 people. They also oversee the extended ministries that include Hillsong Music, Hillsong Conferences and the International Leadership College. Hillsong Television is broadcast in over 180 nations.

Breeding Ground : A New Life
$15.49Add to cartHow surprising it was to hear the Holy Spirit say to me, “This is your breeding ground,” while standing on the grounds of Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California.
It was a place where my two sons had been born with complications. Little did I know that twenty years later my destiny would unfold between the perimeters of these same grounds. Unknowingly I had enrolled in the school of the Holy Spirit and HE would be my Instructor. I would also give birth here to a ministry which consisted among other things, of a healing ministry. These grounds where medical scholars receive training would also become the place of my training in the spiritual realm.
As you read this book you will become a part of these God-given classes that are given through divine revelations, while you gain knowledge regarding the five spiritual senses and their value. You can gain knowledge in your spiritual senses even in the absence of the five physical senses-such as in the story of “Baby O” who was believed to be born without any of his five physical senses. Then there is the revelation of the angels found in a hospital room that may have been instructors sent by the Holy Spirit. In sharing my experience you will also gain insight in such crucial areas as character development, ministry of intercession, and spiritual warfare. Your life will be transformed by the eye-openers given within these pages as they usher you into your own “breeding ground” experience!

Relational Disciple : How God Uses Community To Shape Followers Of Jesus
$14.95Add to cartJesus lived with His disciples for three years and taught them life lessons. He molded and shaped them through community. He traveled with them and taught them as they journeyed. After three years, Jesus told them to “go and do likewise” (Matthew 28:18-20).
Christ’s way of discipleship was through relationships.
We in the west, on the other hand, prepare lone-ranger disciples based on our culture of individualism. This book will detail how our culture of individualism has now turned into isolationism and that social relationships are at an all-time low. The church of Jesus Christ has also been negatively impacted through a brand of individualism that promotes anonymity in the church.I will contrast this with how the early church made relational disciples. Like Jesus, they focused on the one-anothers of Scripture. They took the commands of Christ literally when he told them to love one another, serve one-another and care for one another. In fact, Jesus told His disciples that as a result of the love they practiced to one another, the world would believe in His existence (John 17).
The Trinity is our example of pure community. God exists in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The persons of the Godhead dwell together in perfect unity. God’s very nature stirs His followers to live in unity with one another. And community is the crying need for those living in the west in the 21st century. So many are lonely, isolated and in need of loving relationships.
This book will encourage Christ-followers to allow God to mold them through the natural relationships of life: family, friends, cells, church and mission.
Section I:
-The Problem of Isolation: the breakdown of American community in the 21st century and the immense pain and loneliness in society today.
–Relationship with the Trinity: true community stems from having a right relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit–the God who lives in perfect unity.
-New Testament Community: what the Bible says about relational Christianity and the need for community.
-How God uses conflict in our relationships with people to mold and shape us as His followers.
SECTION II:
I will cover four concentric circles:-inner circle: Spouse, family, children, close friends. Sadly, we in North America have often prioritized personal success over those closest to us.
-organic church circle: I’m referring here to the cell or a small group and those discipleship relationsh

If God Is Your Co Pilot Swap Seats
$16.99Add to cartJesus gave us the good news that if we make God our number-one priority, then everything else will fall into place, and our life will be full of joy, purpose, mission, meaning, and fulfillment.
In the words of author James W. Moore: There’s a saying that goes, “If God is your co-pilot, swap seats!” Now, what I think that means is something we all need to hear, namely this: Don’t just take God along for the ride. Rather, let God do the driving! Put God in the driver’s seat of your life. Don’t make God your assistant; let God be the chief pilot on your life’s journey.
God is not only a comfort, God is a joy. God is the source of all pleasure. God is light and laughter. God is the Giver of Life…real life, abundant life, full life, meaningful life, joyful life, eternal life. And our chief purpose is to celebrate God, and to serve God, and to enjoy God forever.

Life In The Faith Lane

God called them to pick up and leave everything they knew to go to an unfamiliar place, to live a nomadic life, all the while being totally dependent on God for all their needs.

Defeating Pharisaism : Recovering Jesus Disciple Making Method
$32.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
Pharisaism (legalism, dogmatism, separatism, judgmentalism, etc.) is alive and well and a destructive force in too many evangelical churches. This plague hinders effective outreach, burns out professional and lay leaders and has contributed to the mass alienation of tens of thousands of young people from evangelical churches to the point where they have no church affiliation at all or they associate with churches that may have compromised the gospel in their attempt to be culturally relevant.
This book makes the point that the key to defeating Pharisaism is by proactively steering people away from Pharisaism while at the same time showing them the life-giving truth that is found in true kingdom living, beautifully communicated through the Sermon on the Mount. As Jesus trained his disciples, he kept pointing at the Pharisees and saying, Do not be like them.

Jesus You Cant Ignore Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Add 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, 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 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 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.

Hunger And Happiness
$15.99Add to cartIn a world where there is so much food, why are so many people hungry? Amidst so much plenty, why aren’t people happier? L. Shannon Jung insists that the two questions – one having to do with physical hunger, the other with spiritual want – are related. Hunger and Happiness exposes the altrocities of a global food system whereby the affluent “feed” at the expense of others, but then goes on to explore how complicity in the hunger of others contributes to the “spiritual malnourishment” of those who otherwise are well fed. Chapters address particular aspects of a global food policy that insures cheap food for some at great expense to many others. Jung considers the psychological and theological implications of such policy and after assessing the moral ramifications of cheap food, offers possibilities for alleviating physical hunger in the world and spiritual malaise in our lives.

Real Church : Does It Exist Can I Find It
$18.99Add to cart“Church as I know it usually leaves deep parts of me dormant, unawakened, and untouched. I don’t much like going. So, what now?
“What’s happening to the Church? Why are so many people who for decades have been faithful, steady churchgoers (and others who want to start going to church but can’t seem to find one that meets their needs) losing interest in even attending church, let alone getting involved? What is fundamentally wrong with the “types” of churches (Seeker, Bible, Emergent, Liberal, Evangelical) that dot the religious landscape? Larry Crabb believes it is time to rethink the entire foundation and focus of what we know today as church — everything we’re doing and are wanting to see happen. In his most honest and vulnerable book to date, the author reveals his own struggles in this area and then offers a compelling vision of why God designed us to live in community with Him and others, and what the church he wants to be a part of looks like.

Born In His Image
$15.99Add to cartThe church today is in the midst of an identity crisis. Many members of the body of Christ do not yet know who they really are. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, they nevertheless live defeated lives as spiritual paupers, unaware of their legacy: to be born in His image and birthed in His likeness. God’s desire is to mold each of His children into masterpieces of His grace, to transform them into the likeness of His Son. A new heart is the key to this transformation. Our hearts must be pure and perfect if we hope to see God, and we receive a new heart only by putting on Christ and allowing Him to transform us into new creatures in His likeness. Our destiny as believers is to be like Him, but we must be totally committed to Him in our heart. Do you want to fulfill your destiny? This book will show you how to leave the mundane behind and ascend to the higher levels of godliness into the very infinite image of Christ to become God’s masterpiece!

Walking In The Will Of God
$16.99Add to cartThe success of Steve McVey’s books-beginning with the 225,000-selling Grace Walk-testifies to readers’ hunger to get free of performance-focused Christianity and rediscover the grace-filled, relational God of the Scriptures. The issue of God’s will confuses and frustrates many believers. Steve McVey helps and encourages them with key biblical principles:
Focusing on rules, Christians end up anxious, hesitant, and distant from their compassionate Father.
Focusing on God’s relationship with them, Christians will feel assured He is a Person to trust, not a formula to figure out. Believers can relax, knowing that God wants to guide them and has given them the life and mind of Christ.The result of the grace-based relationship? A bold, no-regrets life, lived in light of God’s complete dependability. This kind of life-the kind of life every Christian desires-is revealed in Walking in the Will of God.

Beyond All Measure
$15.99Add to cartThis book is about Jesus and His love for His children. It attempts to look at who we are, and how Christ relates to us in spite of who we are. Using the proper light of Scripture to view and expose ourselves, we are then enabled to see the glorious nature of His unconditional love for us. Thomas Watson rightly said, “Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.” My desire is that each of us would expand our view of Christ’s love for us. We have but a partial view of His incredible love, and so each of us needs to grow in our knowledge of it. This will be an eternal endeavor, and so I can think of very little that is more exciting than striving together to grow in the knowledge of the love of Christ. “Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love.” – C.H. Spurgeon “We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.” – John Owen “Our Lord God must be a pious man to be able to love rascals.” – Martin Luther “He loved us not because we are lovable, but because He is love.” – C.S. Lewis

God Doesnt Have A Trophy Case
$19.99Add to cartPeople claim that achievement is obtained by a trophy or bestowed honor. Christianity uses love and the service of others as the trophies to be won to find satisfaction in our lives. Jesus preached that God desires a personal relationship with us. The more we identify a relationship with God as something we determine, the more we can bring God into our lives and work with God rather than hiding from God. When we realize that our God loves us as we are, we can begin to realize we are important to God. Living Jesus’ message of love begins with us loving ourselves as a human being important enough for the Creator to save. We are needed to build the kingdom Jesus spoke of where love of one another builds a perfect Kingdom of caring and concern through the love we show to every individual and in every act.

Comeback God : A Theological Primer For A Life Of Faith
$12.99Add to cartThe basic thesis is that Yahweh of Israel and the God who raised Jesus, often appearing throughout history to be “down for the count,” has an amazing comeback -ability. In the current postmodern context, where many despair of faith and seem to circle back to the 1960’s conclusion that “God is dead,” this book holds forth a reason to believe and a pathway to probe more deeply in contemporary images and language the age-old truth and traditions of faith.

Dysciples
$16.99Add to cartKrish has coined the term ‘dysciples’ to describe those of us who feel dysfunctional in our following of Jesus. The good news is that dysfunctional discipleship is nothing new and nothing to be ashamed of. The very first disciples were dysciples too – they were constantly getting even the most basic of things totally wrong!
If Jesus’ best friends and first missionaries were such weak disciples, then that gives us hope. We can be comforted and excited by the thought that Jesus can love and use us, just as he loved and used Peter, James, John, Matthew and company. The obstacles we face as dysciples today are just the same as those that tripped up Jesus’ first band of brothers.
The book examines the issue of ‘dyscipleship’ as it’s revealed in Matthew’s gospel.

Dying To Live
$24.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
Many Christians acknowledge that they love Jesus but are disillusioned about their spiritual condition. They come to Christ to drink from the well of his new life, yet find that their thirst remains. Why has the Christian life not met their expectations for spiritual growth and how can they satisfy this craving for their Christian walk to have a deeper impact? Do you desperately yearn for a deeper relationship with God? Clive Calver-pastor, preacher and longtime church statesman-can relate. As a young preacher and fairly new Christian, he felt deeply frustrated in his efforts to experience spiritual transformation. Then it dawned on him that Jesus’ death on the cross achieved two things: how to die and how to live. Crucified love was God’s gift to us; resurrected life with Christ was his purpose for us.
For far too long we have been presented with a version of the Christian faith that majors on what we get rather than on what we give. The cross has been portrayed as the place where Jesus died for us and where we receive from him but rarely as the location of our joint crucifixion with him. The uncomfortable truth is that Jesus calls us to share his cross. If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24). Fortunately, we don’t have to be some kind of a Super Christian to allow God’s power to work through us. Calver shows how a number of ordinary believers have discovered the paradoxical fulfillment of the crucified life as they die to self and serve God and other people. By dying to live, you too can know the joy of resurrection.

$17.99Add to cartA positive Christian alternative to the bestselling The Secret, this book reveals the “secret things of God” — secrets about God, about happiness, about relationships, and about your purpose. These tested spiritual truths reveal principles that make life work.
With millions of copies of The Secret in print, countless readers are left wondering how its teachings fi t with the truths found in Scripture. Though many teachings in The Secret may have shocked those of the Christian faith, believers have also been reminded of the deep spiritual hunger that exists in all of us — the desire for a power beyond the human to work change in our individual lives.
Even Christians who know and claim biblical truths often don’t know how to use them. Author Dr. Henry Cloud shows readers how to unlock the treasure of these truths and ignite their power in their lives.
There is, indeed, a powerful attraction at work in the universe, but rather than being between an impersonal universe and our own thoughts, this attraction is between the personal Creator of the universe and the creation he loves.

Spirituality In Season
$27.49Add to cartWe are used to making Lent a special time for spiritual renewal, but the whole of the liturgical year offers an endless resource for growth in faith and understanding. Spirituality in Season explores the treasures that Christian tradition has accumulated over centuries and suggests new and creative-ways of drawing on these riches in ways that nurture both individual experience and the worshipping life of the church.
All of human life is reflected in the Christian year – the drama of its joys and sorrows, the times of waiting, the long stretches of uneventful ordinariness. This book aims to unlock the great potential of the seasons, both for those who plan and lead worship, and for those who use the church’s year as a resource for their own and others’ spiritual growth. Each chapter draws out the distinctive spiritual ‘mood’ of a particular season and offers:
-An overview of the season, its major themes and markers for the journey
-An exploration of seasonal liturgies, the lectionary readings and other resources
-Insights from writers from the Christian tradition and from literature
-Creative ideas for seasonal worship
-Practical tools for spiritual exploration.
Spirituality, liturgy and theology are often disconnected in contemporary Christian practice. Spirituality in Season offers a coherent vision for worship and personal spiritual growth that reconnects these great gifts at our disposal.

True Love has A Passion For You! was birthed out of a thirst God placed in the author’s

Utility Handmaiden. What He had in His heart toward the author and others will be
expressed within the pages of this work when He called us forth into being form the
beginning. So . . . True Love awaits! -
