Becoming A True Spiritual Community
$18.99Add to cartIn today’s frenetic society, people rarely develop intimate friendships.

A community of real friends who listened to each other’s personal tragedies without merely trying to fix the problems, who encouraged and nurtured each others strengths, and who accepted people for who they really are, instead of the image they try to portray.

Covenant : A Study Of Gods Extraordinary Love For You
$11.99Add to cartOne of the most powerful rituals in ancient Hebrew culture was that of the blood covenant. This agreement united two individuals for a lifetime and meant that the most intense forms of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice had been exchanged.

By asking Abraham to perform the covenant ritual, God the Father and humanity were bonded for eternity.
In The Covenant, well-known author Jim Garlow explains, with passion and possibility, the importance and meaning of the Covenant ritual and shows how this ceremony provides the foundation for everything we, as Christians, believe. The powerful revelations he presents will impact and transform your life and forever change your knowledge and appreciation of the Christian faith.

Silent God : Finding Him When You Cant Hear His Voice
$14.99Add to cartAs Christians, many of us experience times in our spiritual lives when it feels like God is silent. For reasons we don’t understand, we’re unable to sense His presence, feel His comfort, or hear His direction. And although we may be following Him as best we know, our spiritual lives feel dry and He seems more distant than ever.
In Silent God, Joseph Bentz addresses the pain and bewilderment many feel when they can’t hear God’s voice. He examines the possible influences that can unknowingly invade our lives and block our ability to hear God. Television, radio, iPods, cell phones, internet, email, traffic, and crowded schedules contribute to our noisy world. Every moment is bombarded by noise, both external and mental, that clutters our thoughts and causes us to lose the ability or desire to settle down and really commune with and listen to God. Bentz explains how the accumulation of all this noise can contribute to God’s silence in our lives and shares valuable and practical ways to control the noise so we can hear God once again. He also explores ways God may use silence as a means of working out His spiritual purposes in our lives. Bentz shows how sometimes our spiritual routines become spiritual comforts that, instead of pointing us to God, end up replacing Him. He offers insight and understanding for persevering through the silence and reassures us that doing so will result in essential spiritual growth and a deeper commitment to Christ.
Silent God reveals a new understanding of the mystery and power of God and shows how to find Him through the silence and emerge with a greater sense of purpose and a deeper connection with Christ and His love.

Standing On The Promises Or Sitting On The Premises (Student/Study Guide)
$17.99Add to cartJames W. Moore asks readers a series of challenging questions: Are you standing on the promises, or just sitting on the premises? Do you claim and embrace and celebrate the great promises of God that are underscored again and again in the Bible? Or do you sit lifelessly and listlessly on the remote edges of the church, responding halfheartedly to its message?
In this reissue of one of his best-selling titles, Moore reminds readers of the awesome promises of God that are found in the Bible. On page after page of the Scriptures, God gives generous and gracious promises that believers can claim and rely on. Moore shows that when people fail to lean on God and trust in those promises, they may open themselves to many frustrating, embarrassing, even painful experiences. However, when they truly “stand on the promises,” they can discover the richness and fullness that God intended for their lives.

There Is More To The Secret
$16.99Add to cartThe Law of Attraction contends that one can have any health, wealth or relationship desired if the mind is trained to put out continual thoughts to attract it into one’s life. Although there is some truth to the fact that we tend to become what we think (the apostle Paul taught us that), the new-age representation of “individual as God” is a dangerous contention. In this companion book to the current media storm, Ed Gungor seeks to establish a more complete and accurate representation of the power of the mind by explaining the obvious role that the Almighty God plays in our lives with the power of the Gospel. This book is not written to attack recent publications but rather to correct their misguided advice while still speaking to the felt need that is causing millions to explore their pages.

Build Your Walls Guard Your Gates
$17.49Add to cartThe book of Nehemiah is a great story that has much to teach us about courage, leadership, faithfulness to God’s call and more, but can it really speak to us about sexual purity?

By building your spiritual walls and guarding your eye, ear and mouth gates, you can overcome bondage to pornography and sexual sin.

Evangelism Without Additives
$18.00Add to cartWhat if evangelism meant just being yourself?
If the gospel really is good news, why do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is witnessing often a negative experience, for both the sender and receiver? Wouldn’t it be great if you could communicate the good news without having to become a spiritual salesperson?
What if
*you didn’t have to make a speech in order to witness?
*you could use everyday experiences to nudge others closer to Jesus?
*the things you’re already doing counted as evangelism?Evangelism can be as normal as asking great questions and paying attention to the people Jesus misses most. It involves doing things you already do, but with a little more intentionality. Just by being yourself and becoming unusually interested in others, you can discover that people will ask you about Jesus.
This isn’t another program or pitch. It’s a handbook on how to make real connections with the people formerly known as lost.
Think of it as evangelism for the rest of us.

Disciple Making Church (Expanded)
$16.99Add to cartNewly updated and revised for 2007 with new Foreword by E. Stanley Ott, President of Vital Churches Institute. New cover design, resource list and index.
Christianity Today says “The Disciple Making Church is a call to evalutate the way we live and minister.”
The Christian Century magazine calls The Disciple Making Church “An excellent resource for pastors and congregations seeking to reclaim formation and discipleship as central to their life and purpose.”
This modern day classic helps congregations to transform program-oriented churches into disciple making churches.
The story of the transformation of a large suburban congregation from one relying on the latest and greatest new programming to a ministry dedicated to making disciples of Jesus.
Glenn McDonald was the busy pastor of a large and growing congregation in the suburbs of Indianapolis when, late one night, a single question launched a journey that changed every facet of life at Zionsville Presbyterian Church. As a lengthy board meeting was about to wrap up, a board member asked, “How long would it take for someone who visits our church to learn about his or her need for Jesus and to find out what to do about it?”
After a long and hollow silence, a profound transformation began. All “canned programs” for ministry???along with a focus on the “ABCs” of attendance, building and cash???went by the boards as everything about the church was examined in the light of Christ’s charge to “go forth and make disciples.”
The Disciple Making Church divides the transformation in two parts: Six Discipling Relationships and The Six Marks of a Disciple. McDonald weaves vivid scriptural insights and the wisdom of scholars with the experiences of his own congregation and others, and distills it all into one helpful, valuable, enjoyable book. His enthusiasm for the “exhilarating freedom” of the disciple’s life is infectious.
If you’ve ever wondered if the “busy-ness” of many of today’s churches isn’t what Christ was talking about, this book will have a lasting impact on you and your walk with the Lord.

Peter’s life serves as a model for Christian discipleship, offering hope that we likewise can be changed as Jesus calls us to follow him. -
