Walk With Me
$14.99Add to cartWhat does it mean to make Christlike disciples?
Discipleship is a common word in churches today. Pastors and leaders are continually looking for resources to help their members develop a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and a closer relationship with Christ. But there’s more to discipleship than studying and following Christ’s teachings. True discipleship is an invitation to become like Christ; to absorb His passions, behaviors, and wisdom by spending significant time with Him; to engage in a relationship with Him that shapes you into His likeness and in turn, inspires others to do the same.
Walk with Me calls pastors, church leaders, teachers, and parents to go beyond basic discipleship and begin to intentionally teach others to be disciplemakers. It explores the importance of teaching mature disciples how their Christ-influenced responses to everyday situations can be used to show others who Jesus is and what it means to be His disciple. With biblical insight, author Hal Perkins explores the call to “go and make disciples of all nations” and demonstrates how changing the way we act, think, and serve will not only help us fulfill the Great Commission, but also answer the call to love God with all our hearts and minds, and our neighbor as ourselves.

Brief Description
Mike Bickle has known both the exhilaration and the confusion caused by ministry focused on the exercise of spiritual gifts. As a young pastor not personally inclined toward prophecy, he was taken by surprise by the upsurge of the gift in his own church. Feeling almost ambushed by God, he looked for help and advice, but with little success. Thus began an often painful journey away from “prophetic chaos” toward a clearer understanding of God’s order. It is out of this experience he now writes for all those who are interested in seeing prophetic ministry developed in the church today. -

Joy Of Full Surrender
$17.99Add to cart“The will of God has nothing but sweetness, grace, and treasures for the surrendered soul”
This inspirational classic was compiled more than a century after the death of its author, the French Jesuit, Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Gathered from the notes, discussions, and letters that he left behind, these reflections focus on accepting the will of God with an open heart, and learning to slow down and live life in the “sacrament of the present moment.”
“I count myself blessed that, at an important juncture in my life, a wise elder introduced me to the writings of Caussade. From them I gained not only the guidance I needed to traverse a difficult terrain, but also a permanent element in my outlook on life: an appreciation of the operation of God’s providence and my need to be receptive of that providence despite the lack of full understanding and the pressure of contrary desires.”
–Michael Casey, O.C.S.O. from the Introduction

Way Of Discernment Participants Book (Workbook)
$12.99Add to cartFrom deep within us there’s a desire to do the right thing, to make wise choices, to live in a fruitful manner. There are simple steps anyone can take that will open understanding. The scriptures repeatedly acknowledge the existence of a sure pathway in life.
“Even the most exacting circumstances lies a way that leads to greater understanding of God’s desire and, therefore, of what we are to do,” write the authors. “…We pray for deeper understanding. We wait. We struggle. We search. Then, aha! Understanding comes. Perhaps it flares forth suddenly. Perhaps it emerges with the slow, growing radiance of the morning sun. Either way, we know we have not brought the insight into being ourselves. It comes from beyond us.”
So, how do you discover God’s guidance for personal and congregational decisions? Discover the way to greater clarity in The Way of Discernment, a 10-week study for small groups. More of a journey in discernment than a how-to guide, this study gently leads to a prayerful path for a richer, wiser life.

Trouble With Paris
$18.99Add to cartWhat if you’re living in the wrong reality?Doesn’t everyone want the good life these days? Our shopping mall world offers us a never-ending array of pleasures to explore. Consumerism promises us a vision of heaven on earth-a reality that’s hyper-real. We’ve all experienced hyperreality: a candy so ‘grape-ey’ it doesn’t taste like grapes any more; a model’s photo so manipulated that it doesn’t even look like her; a theme park version of life that tells us we can have something better than the real thing. But what if this reality is not all that it’s cracked up to be? Admit it, we’ve been ripped off by our culture and its version of reality that leaves us lonely, bored, and trapped. But what’s the alternative? In The Trouble With Paris, pastor Mark Sayers shows us how the lifestyles of most young adults (19-35) actually work against a life of meaning and happiness to sabotage their faith. Sayers shows how a fresh understanding of God’s intention for our world is the true path to happiness, fulfillment, and meaning.

Day Is Yours
$29.99Add to cartThe Day Is Yours is a protest against the culture of speed both in society at large, but also, more ominously, in the church itself. Rooted in the monastic liturgy of the hours, The Day is Yours argues that in order for Christians to act as a truly prophetic witness, in a time of cultural decadence, they must recover a more biblical rhythm in which work, rest, relationships, worship, and prayer are held together in creative tension. Written by a pastor, the central thrust of The Day is Yours is that living one day at a time with gratitude and contentedness is vital, lest the church capitulates to the distractedness of modern life.

Minas En El Camino Del Creyent – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartDr. Charles Stanley identifies seven destructive temptations and gives Christians the hope and skills they need to live an abundant and obedient life.
When you’re in the heat of spiritual battle, it doesn’t take long to realize that Satan will do anything to prevent you from becoming the person God has planned for you to be.

In Minas, beloved pastor Dr. Charles Stanley shows readers how to identify, avoid, or defuse the landmines of pride, jealousy and envy, insecurity, compromise, unforgiveness, sexual sin, and laziness.Avoiding serious trouble is not difficult, says Dr. Stanley, especially if you follow the route God has given you to travel.

Teachings For The Heart
$17.99Add to cartOne evening in the twentieth year of my life on this earth, God introduced Himself to me. It was personal, intimate, exciting, revealing, and a whole lot of other things that are just too hard to describe. It was wonderful! I needed to know more about this God and therefore reasoned I would need a religion that was also seeking after Him. The next thirty years were spent going from church to church and teacher to teacher, but never really getting any closer to my goal. I was led to start over, this time with the Holy Spirit as my exclusive guide and teacher. To keep myself organized, I started writing. I only documented what I knew in my heart was true. This is what I wrote. This is what I learned. This is how it begins. I humbly present these elementary teachings for the heart; a primer for spiritual growth.

Caminar Con Dios – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartCaminar con Dios moves through a year in the life of John Eldredge, showing and teaching what an intimate relationship with God looks like day to day.
God longs to speak. It is our right and privilege to hear His voice. Our deepest longings could all find sufficient fulfillment in God’s company. Yet, somehow, the looming discontent of most Christians is a lack of intimacy with God. Caminar con Dios is unlike any book John has written. It moves through a year in his life, showing and teaching what conversational intimacy with God can be like. It teaches readers how to make decisions aligning with God’s will, understand barriers and “agreements” keeping them from the life God intends, fight spiritual battles for their own heart and for others, and much more. Ultimately, Caminar con Dios shows readers that walking intimately with Him can be a normal part of the Christian life.

No Esperes Que Yo Muera – (Spanish)
$11.99Add to cartPaul is heading towards his destiny when all of the sudden he finds himself shipwrecked and fighting for survival. As he makes a fire (to survive) he is attacked by a venomous viper. As odd as it may seem the viper fastened its fangs on Paul’s hand. Why the hand? Because the devil knew that God would use Paul’s hand to pen two-thirds of the New Testament and change the known world. As Paul shakes the snake to its death he must still deal with the four phases of the venom: pain (emotional hurt), paralysis (spiritual immobility), swelling (internal toxins), and asphyxiation (tracheal obstruction, i.e. desperation and anxiety). His enemies waited for him to swell up and die, but Paul had an antidote no one knew of: the Holy Spirit.
Your enemies are planning your funeral, picking your tomb stone, shining your casket, and practicing your eulogy, but you can serve the notice to every devil and opposition you face: Don’t wait for me to die!

Living The Extraordinary Life
$19.99Add to cartDr. Charles Stanley explores the non-negotiable life principles that should be reflected in the life of every Christian. To many in the world, the Christian faith is a set of rules and regulations. But Jesus himself did not teach his followers dos and don’ts; he taught them foundational principles to live by. “These life principles,” Charles Stanley says, “are the simple truths that act as a compass for our souls. All Christians must live them in order to fulfill their purpose and experience intimate relationship with Christ.” Using examples from his own personal experiences, Biblical personalities, and case studies, Dr. Stanley demonstrates how these key life principles impact life in the 21st century-and how they make us, as Christians, different from those who live their lives according to preference rather than principles. Each chapter offers additional online material, as well as criteria for how you can measure your own personal growth on each principle.

7 Things You Better Have Nailed Down Before All Hell Breaks Loose
$19.99Add to cartSteven Covey wrote, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” For men and women searching for truth amidst the noise and clutter, this principle could never be more crucial.

This strong exposition of the foundations of the Christian faith brings a calm, clarity, and confidence to train those who need something certain to claim. The seven things are: 1. God Is God: the Creator-Holy, Sovereign, and Merciful2. The Bible Is God’s Word 3. Mankind Is Eternally Lost and in Need of a Savior 4. Jesus Christ Died to Redeem Mankind 5. Grace and Faith Are Gifts 6. Belief and Works Are One 7. The Church Is God’s Idea

God Of Second Chances
$20.00Add to cartThere is much in our culture that keeps us from staying on a path of religious faith and enlightenment: Creature comforts entice us away from the rigors of a materially simple and charitable life. Debates over pressing issues have lost whatever civil tone they once had. Our nation is simultaneously awash with multimillionaires and homeless children. Now, in particular, minister and psychotherapist Erik Kolbell believes we need a second chance. In this hopeful book, this insightful writer and caregiver looks back through Scripture and finds that it reveals a God of second chances. The Bible is rich with words like re-conciliation, re-demption, re-vival, and re-surrection, and Kolbell eloquently explores one re word in every chapter, each pointing to a well-recognized biblical theme that speaks in its own way to how, when our spirits are weary, God gives us a second chance to deepen our lives of faith. Drawing from a wealth of biblical and contemporary illustrations, Kolbell offers comforting guidance to all spiritual seekers who yearn to find their way back to the sufficiency of God s love and gain the wisdom to know what to respond in return. Includes questions for discussion or reflection.

Churches Without Walls
$21.99Add to cart“Is this not the fast that I have chosen…?” How often have you read this scripture from Isaiah 58:6?

The real cry of Isaiah 58 is for everyone to be a bridge into the hearts of those in need. Church, are you ready to obey God’s Mandate to get outside your four walls and be that body of love and power to a mass of humanity that is in desperate need of a shepherd – to experience the Jesus of Nazareth who, some 2,000 years ago on the Judean Hillside, told His disciples, “FEED MY PEOPLE”? Don’t just read this book – study it! It opens up God’s heart!

Just As I Am
$15.99Add to cartThis book enables us to view the powerhouse that lies within the person [of Ruth Etchells] . . . She has aimed to provide a resource to help others in their prayers.

Although daily personal prayer is not something which most of us find easy, dialogue with God is, as the author says, ‘the very oxygen of our spiritual bloodstream’
So this book is meant to help us ‘be where He is likely to appear’ It represents the ‘fruits of many years’ daily conversation with God, often wrestling, sometimes resting, occasionally glorying, almost always – eventually – thanking’ There is material for the morning and evening of each day for a month, as well as for the seasons of the Christian year and for special times of joy and sorrow. While drawing on a wide range of Christian writers, almost all of the prayers were specially written for this book.

Unlimiting God : Increasing Your Capacity To Experience The Divine
$18.00Add to cartPeople have their limits. Some choose to ignore them.
God’s power and love have no limits. So why do Christians put limits on their relationship with Him? We could be pursuing greater knowledge, experiencing deeper intimacy, and abiding in freer joy… and yet we routinely settle for mediocrity in our spiritual lives.
But if you are ready to explode your self-imposed limits, Dr. Richard Blackaby can guide you through powerful and passionate insights revealed in this new book.
By contrasting mediocrity with the spirituality of the great “heroes of the faith,” Dr. Blackaby shows you that you need not settle for less than God intends for you. God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people like you…but only when you allow Him to enlarge your spiritual capacity and overcome your self-imposed limits.
“I hope this book inspires you to aim for a new level of walking with God. I want you to reach heights in your spiritual life that you never dreamed were possible, to experience God working through your life in a powerful new dimension, to hear words from God that will dramatically change your life and your world. I want to help you blow past any limitations you have set for yourself in your Christian life.” -Dr. Richard Blackaby

Gathered Together
$16.99Add to cartNorberg understands the question asked by many Christians engaged in counseling, therapy, and 12-step groups: How can the church honor the individual’s profound experience of struggle and change? Is there any way to connect one’s unique and maybe not-so-holy journey with church tradition? Yes, she answers. The personal liturgy is a brilliant way to integrate the sacred struggles of inner work with the rituals of corporate worship. The resulting services for healing and wholeness are intimate, honest, and deeply transformative.
Norberg’s image of God as a compassionate healer is borne out in her theology of the “ad hoc church” – the congregation of close friends who participate with the celebrant in the personal liturgy. These services are faith in action – celebrants bury real hatchets, break forth from actual bondage, and pour gallons of cleansing waters. Norberg details over two dozen personal liturgies she has designed and led, honoring such events as finding one’s true vocation, recovering from illness, giving up false hopes, and receiving one’s first set of car keys.
Gathered Together is a wise, creative work that will prompt pastors to try new healing ministries and laypersons to ask more boldly for the needed bridge between personal journey and church life.

Why Jesus Makes Me Nervous
$16.99Add to cartJesus offers grace and mercy but he’s also ratcheted up all the rules
Nice as it would be to frame Jesus as fun-loving, or a mercy-dispensing friend, the stories we have about him are a lot more disturbing than that.
We hear about celebrations that began as a wake, and about people who didn’t use their talents well being bounced clear out of the club. Jesus clearly thought that following the way of truth involved a lot more than simply avoiding things like murder, stealing, committing adultery or telling lies.
When Jesus truly makes you nervous, he is worth living and dying for, and becomes the greatest source of meaning and purpose in life imaginable.

Crossing Your Jordan
$12.49Add to cartProduct Description
Every believer has a purpose that has been specifically created for their lives. The wilderness journey is designed as a training ground for crossing into that purpose. But so often we get HUNG. STRUCK in the wilderness somewhere between the Red Sea and the Jordan River. Stuck somewhere between the issues, the problems, and the power of our past, and the purpose, the calling, and the election of our future. Today, so many in the church are living in the wilderness. With an entire generation standing in the balance, and a need for spiritual direction, we stand in a place where we have grown content and complacent, unable to move and in a place of no purpose. But the wind of God’s Spirit is beginning to blow. Complacency is turning into a fresh hunger for goals, and contentment is turning into a yearning for something more, something better, something with a pursuit of purpose. If this is you, if this is your heart, than you are moving into a good place and have become a candidate for “Crossing Your Jordan.” Pastor Richard Giovannetti is the Senior Pastor of Standing In The Word Ministries with a BA in Theology. He is the Executive Producer of Fresh Fire Productions in Morris Illinois. His television program “Fresh Fire!” Flames of Revival is presently viewed across northern and central Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Indiana on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and also across the entire continent of Africa on TBN-Africa.

When Goliath Doesnt Fall
$14.99Add to cartEven though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord! Habakkuk 3: 17-18
You’ve read the Bible stories of God’s amazing faithfulness. You’ve seen Him extend His blessings and healing to your family and friends. You’ve even experienced the sweet gift of answered prayer for other issues in your life. But sometimes, no matter how much you pray or cling to the victories of the past, your present problem remains depressingly unchanged with little hope for the future.
Most people understand and accept that life isn’t always fair; but it’s still difficult to get past the hurt and confusion of “why?” when you’ve prayed and trusted God to defeat an ugly giant in your life only to discover that the giant didn’t fall. How do you reconcile and rebuild your faith and hope in Christ when life is allowed to defeat you?
In When Goliath Doesn’t Fall, Jody Conrad pulls the mask of Christianity down and admits to the ugliness of real life. Sometimes, no matter how hard you pray, babies die. Sometimes, no matter how loyal you’ve been, your spouse abandons you. Houses catch on fire; tornados demolish entire communities; and terrorists successfully crash into buildings. How are we suppose to respond when Goliath doesn’t fall?
With compassion and understanding, Jody joins you in life’s trenches and tells you about a different kind of deliverance. She shows you the unconditional and strangely hopeful worship of Habakkuk’s heart and helps you discover how to cultivate a beautiful, wild faith that is still able to worship; still able to rejoice; still able to sing of the joys of heaven even with cancer in its lungs.
