Shut Hell Up
$17.99Add to cartFROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR KIMBERLY JONES-POTHIER AKA REAL TALK KIM
If you want breakthrough, you have to break through!
Most people struggle to assume the best of themselves. And their poor self-concept is only made worse by their past mistakes, poor choices, and failures. Kimberly has heard the inner voice that continually says, “You can’t.” And she’s learned how to shut it up. Known for telling it like it is, Real Talk Kim, as Jones-Pothier is known, challenges readers to stare inadequacy in the face and say, “Not today!” Exposing her own messes and failures, she leads readers on a journey to overcome the negative thinking, fear, loneliness, disappointment, and wrong view of self that have led to their feelings of inadequacy so they can walk in the fullness of God’s purpose for them.
The enemy is always going to tell people what they can and cannot do. He’s always going to play into their fears and regrets. Jones-Pothier reveals the truths that will silence the accuser and empower readers to stop being ruled by their emotions, make choices from a place of confidence instead of doubt and insecurity, realize that God’s plan is bigger than their past, reject the labels others have placed on them, let God determine who they are, and stop being a victim and find the freedom to be themselves. Breakthroughs don’t come without a fight. Anyone who wants a breakthrough has to break through–they have to act. Providing practical tools that lead to victory, Shut Hell Up shows readers how to stop seeing themselves as inadequate and embrace who God says they are. When you feel not enough, God says I AM ENOUGH.
This book will help you use what God says about you to fight negative self-talk and lies from the enemy.

Gospel According To Satan
$19.99Add to cartFrom a “unique and distinctive” (Kyle Idleman) writer who “make[s] us appreciate the greatness and grandeur of the gospel” (J. I. Packer) comes a warning about how the “father of lies” attempts to mislead us, packaging destructive ideas in the guise of spiritual truth.
Not every lie sounds untrue. Some just sound right. And some are repeated so often that they virtually become “common knowledge.” This is what makes lies about God so dangerous. So we have to ask, what might God’s enemy want us to believe to lead us astray? And would we even see it happening?
Award-winning writer and pastor Jared C. Wilson brings us this compelling and enlightening exploration of the popular and oftentimes pleasing ways spiritual darkness masquerades as light. With sharp insight, warm humor, and a shepherd’s heart, Jared Wilson examines eight lines popular with too many Christians–eight lies the enemy wants us to believe–and provides eight lines of counterattack to help us regain our footing. Wilson names the lies– including “God Just Wants You to Be Happy,” “You Only Live Once,” and “Let Go and Let God,”–and then reveals why they appeal to us, shows how they harm us, and provides ways to counteract them. We can renounce Satan’s counterfeit gospel, but first we must see it for what it is. Jared Wilson shows us how.

Growing In Christ
$8.95Add to cartWhile salvation is wholly a work of the Lord, requiring only faith and not our personal efforts, such is not true of sanctification, or spiritual growth. Rather, both God and the believer play vital, sometimes overlapping roles, in our progress toward maturity. Maturity is the result of human response to the enablement of God. It is initiated by God and requires a radical dependence upon the grace and power of the Spirit as we work out our salvation. This manual is designed to aid the children of God in the process of working out their salvation through the power and energy that God supplies. By the Lord’s grace, may it accomplish this purpose in your life.

Walk Of The Cross
$26.99Add to cartThe “Walk of the Cross” is a Lenten study designed to help Christians search their hearts and souls as well as rededicate themselves to be faithful Disciples of Christ. It is a daily devotional which examines fundamental Biblical beliefs in context with several scriptures each day. Daily readings are followed by questions for reflection and journaling. Jesus used this method of rabbinic teaching when he asked questions of His disciples such as “Who do you say (believe) I am?”, “Why do you call me good?”, or “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?”. Journaling, scripture reading, and Spirit-led prayers form the foundation of this personal study as we consider what we really believe concerning issues such as God’s calling, grace, salvation, sanctification, and regeneration. The process allows the Holy Spirit to confront false beliefs as well as alleviate areas of doubt in our faith.
As for those that may be asking what difference it makes how one believes, professionals have long known that our beliefs, especially those concerning morals, ethics, and religion control how we think, feel and behave. Our beliefs do this by coming together to form attitudes and prejudices concerning who we are and the world around us. Because our belief systems work with a high degree of automation, they can be easily influenced and even corrupted by the culture of the world. Therefore, we should always actively consider what and how we believe under the guidance of the Spirit.
Christians have traditionally used the forty days prior to Easter, known as Lent, as a time to rededicate ourselves to the imitation of Christ. Some of us abstain from pleasurable things such as chocolate or TV in an attempt to purify ourselves from worldly desires. Others prefer to add some additional religious aspect to our lives like a Lenten devotional, additional prayer time, or some worthy church social function. Whether we abstain or add, there is a conscious effort to revive our Christian discipleship by identifying with Christ’s teaching and journey of passion for our salvation. Doing these activities in small groups makes this also a time to renew fellowship within church.

Leah Unveiled : Your Best Life Later, Discovering Identity Stronger Than Th
$30.99Add to cartIn the book of Genesis, we see creation, God’s pursuit in covenant, displays of righteousness and faith, but also humanity’s rebellion, judgment, racism, social inequality, and depravity run amuck. We see the difference in walking by faith with God and walking by worldly standards. We see holy justice and raw human injustice. In Genesis chapters 29 and 30, there is no shortage of these elements, where God chose to preserve a diary, of sorts, of a matriarch of the faith. Though history has reduced her story to only descriptive paragraphs, this twelve-week Bible study will unveil why God chose to carry her testimony for our benefit in living out the Christian life. God took her humble position and grafted her into the scarlet thread of the Gospel story. You know her as the wife to a patriarch, who was in love with her sister, and a mother to eight of the original twelve tribes of Israel. Her name is Leah. After this expository styled study, you will be astonished and captivated by her testimony of how faith wrestles to thrive in the land of the living while yielding to the hope of heaven. She is a channel by which world history has been shaped and our hope secured in Christ. You will be encouraged and convicted as you wrestle with the God who revealed Himself to her and who stands to do the same for you.

Choice To Be Chosen
$28.99Add to cartA step by step discipleship guide to grow a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. Alissa Harris exemplifies the concept that our relationship with God is one by choice filled with love, respect and learning. She takes her own life events and discusses the Biblical principles with comparative and competing conversations we have with ourselves and God. This demonstrates to the reader applicable solutions to everyday struggles that affect our daily lives and our walk with God.

Alissa brings in her own experiences to support key points often with fully transparent emotionally charged details we can feel in our own lives.

Her heartwarming passion and unbridled transparency showcase how every struggle or situation we can find ourselves in, has an answer from God. These answers can draw us closer to God by allowing us to see how God is always longing for a relationship with us.

What If Its True
$19.99Add to cartYears ago novelist Charles Martin opened his Bible and began to wrestle with a few fundamental questions. He asked, “What if every single word of Scripture is absolutely true and I can trust it? How do I respond? Something in me should change, but what? How?” This book is the result of that exploration.
With the depth, sensitivity, and emotion that has made his novels beloved to millions, Charles ignites our imaginations as to what the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ mean to us today. Charles asks, “What if dead and crucified Jesus came back to life by the power of the Holy Spirit and is alive today? Right now. What if that same Jesus, the One who walked out of the tomb shining like the sun, holding the keys of death and hades, is alive in me? I write fiction for a living, and that’s either the craziest thing I’ve ever heard or it’s the most important word ever spoken. You and I have a King who did the unthinkable.”
The answers that his writer’s imagination illuminates for us will change the way we think about the gospel and the way we live because of it.

Awakening Of Hope
$18.99Add to cartAccording to Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, faithful action is always inspired and sustained by common convictions–the basic truths that have sustained God’s people throughout every generation.
The Awakening of Hope re-presents Christian faith by beginning with stories of faithful witness and asking, Why? Why do Christians eat together? Why do we fast? Why would we rather die than kill? These are the questions that help us see why creation and the fall, covenant and community, ethics and evangelism matter.
This book and its accompanying DVD (sold separately) is a contemporary catechism, celebrating lives and stories that wouldn’t make sense if the gospel were not true. And then going one step further, this project shares the good news of Jesus and the way of life that he makes possible.

Under Construction : Working With The Architect
$13.99Add to cartImagine yourself as a house under construction. What does it mean to develop as a follower of Jesus? Jesus wants to remake us, from the ground up, to reconstruct us so that we become the people he had in mind. Christians are built on his firm foundation. But if we barely allow Jesus through the front door, it is no surprise that we are left wondering whether this really is as good as it gets. Neil O’Boyle shows us what it means to open ourselves up, so that the light of Christ shines into the dark nooks and exposes the sagging rafters. In the living room, what are we watching? In the bathroom, do we take care of ourselves? In the privacy of our bedroom, what are we like? In the dining room, what are our guests doing? In the garden, will there be fruit? In the garden shed, what tools has Jesus given us?

Everything You Need
$21.60Add to cartMany Christians feel unprepared and uncertain when it comes to living each day as followers of Christ. We often know what we are supposed to do, and even why we are supposed to do it. Yet when we lack confidence in ourselves and our spiritual development, we fail to live boldly as difference makers in our world.
As one of the world’s leading Bible teachers, Dr. David Jeremiah wants readers to know that this lack of confidence is both unnecessary and unhelpful. In fact, the Bible makes it clear that-in the same way skilled hikers pack all the necessary supplies before a journey-God Himself equips all believers with everything they need to walk and work with confidence as members of His kingdom.
Everything You Need continues Dr. Jeremiah’s focus on helping the church strive for spiritual victory through Christ. Using his signature depth, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Jeremiah explores 2 Peter 1:5-10 to highlight seven critical tools God provides each of His people: virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. When we use the equipment God provides, we can live confidently in the knowledge that we will never stumble.

Jochebed Anointing : Unlock The 15 Mysteries Of Your Destiny
$16.99Add to cartGod chooses the insignificant people to do significant things.
This book will equip you to pursue God’s unique calling on your life even when you feel left out, overlooked, or misunderstood.
God used Moses as a powerful deliverer. But it was Moses’ mother, Jochebed, who protected, labored, and interceded for him. The destiny of a nation was inside a mother–a person who was unknown and seemingly insignificant. The Jochebed Anointing unearths fifteen mysteries that reveal how God is raising us up to birth great things. Ryan LeStrange teaches us how to do the following:
*Apply the principles and power of the Jochebed anointing to our spiritual walk
*Pursue our own unique calling
*Trust God to birth something great in usIn the same way God used Jochebed, He can use us. God uses the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty (1 Cor. 1:27).
God can use us and our weakness as a platform for His glory.

Unquenched : In Pursuit Of The Supernatural
$19.99Add to cartGod is able to do immeasurably more that what we often embrace. And Jonathan and Amanda Ferguson show us that we need to ask for more, expect more, and by His Spirit believe and actually apprehend the more of God.
It’s time to experience all you can experience in God, be all He has called you to be, and show the world His supernatural power. The Ferguson’s boldly share how to renew our minds and bring revival to our hearts.
God’s original intent with man was for our spirits to know and commune with Him, like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before the deception of the serpent led them to their fall. Without walking in Eden, how can we come to know a God we have not seen? Jonathan and Amanda Ferguson say that knowing who God is has everything to do with learning:
*His ways
*His heart
*His character
*His written word
*His mind
*His passion
*Obtaining supernatural experiences with Him.God’s ability to reveal Himself is the avenue through which we come to know Him; the realization of that truth is evident when each person experiences God for himself. Supernatural experience may mean hearing His voice, seeing angels, or having heavenly visitations, outer body experiences, seeing visions, or even being granted insight into what God has planned for future events.
The other side of knowing God is to know what God can actively, physically do. This side of the supernatural includes the performance of signs, wonders, and miracles. Combining both aspects of knowing God is what the Fergusons refer to as embracing the full spectrum of the supernatural. All of these components must work hand in hand. In UNQUENCHED, the Fergusons share from their own powerful experiences in order to help readers understand the explosive power of the supernatural in your everyday life.
UNQUENCHED shows you how to go after God for a full life!

Ruthless Elimination Of Hurry
$19.20Add to cartSuccessful Portland pastor and author John Mark Comer didn’t like the pace of his life. So he turned to a trusted mentor who encouraged him to “ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.” It hasn’t been easy, and he hasn’t arrived, but he likes his life more these days as it reflects the unhurried Way of Jesus.
Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life.

Through The Eyes Of Love
$17.99Add to cart“But now faith, hope, love, abide these three;but the greatest of these is love.”~1 Corinthians 13:13
Seeing the world through a lens of love is not easy, but when you commit to this practice you will begin to see God’s power move in new ways. Through the Eyes of Love shows us how operating from a place of love is the most powerful way to walk in the Spirit.
Author and prophetic minister Shawn Bolz wants you to grow in spiritual authority and learn how to speak powerful words.
As someone who heard God’s voice at a young age, Shawn has been diligent to seek the Lord’s voice for more than two decades. In Through the Eyes of Love, Shawn shares multiple first-person stories of people he has met and spoken to over the years. Whether sitting at a table eating dinner with billionaires or pulling over on the highway to give a construction worker a word of knowledge, Shawn is amazed at how often God wants to speak to people, big or small.
As you sincerely pray and ask God what He wants to say to your coworkers, your neighbors, and your city, you will be surprised at how often He speaks.As a sought-after international teacher with more than twenty years of itinerant ministry under his belt, Shawn has seen it happen time and again: everyday people blown away by one simple message from God. And Jesus wants us to join him in this endeavor.
Remember, it is the Lord’s kindness that leads someone to repentance. So, when we try to reach people without kindness, without love, we end up sounding like a clanging brass cymbal. Words of knowledge are a way for God to convey His love for people.
If you pursue spiritual gifts-especially words of knowledge-you will begin to realize that knowing God’s thoughts shifts the lens through which you see people and culture. In fact, being on the receiving end of a direct message from God will open your spiritual eyes. It’s like seeing a color you never knew existed.

Word And Spirit
$16.99Add to cartFrom best-selling author and theologian R. T. Kendall…
Will you continue to sit back and take sides?
This book will help you unite the power of the Holy Spirit with the knowledge of God’s Word, and anticipate a last-days revival because of this union.
In October 1992 while pastoring Westminster Chapel in London, England, R. T. Kendall organized a conference around a series of sermons prophetically describing what God may have in store for His people in these last days. The series proclaimed an outpouring much deeper than anything we have ever experienced–an awakening not based on feelings or emotions but inspired through the irrevocable truth of God’s Word, fulfilled through the conviction and direction of the Holy Spirit.
In Word and Spirit best-selling author and theologian R. T. Kendall challenges your traditions, emotions, convictions, and maybe even your faith. Kendall shares his vision of the future–of a holy unity of the Word and the Spirit that leads to a last-days revival.
There are those who live their spiritual lives by biblical explanation only. Meanwhile, others base their theological dispositions on “signs and wonders” characterized by the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. In this exciting and controversial book R. T. revives his original messages, adding new insights into what they mean for us today and revealing everything we need to know about the coming move of God.

Jesus Principle : Lead A Life That Even Death Can’t Stop
$16.99Add to cartIf your influence only lasts as long as you do, you failed.
This book will help you reach your full potential, inspire greatness in your spouse, children, and friends, and leave a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime.
True influence should increase through the lives of those you have poured into, even after you pass away. Our greatest example of this is Jesus. His followers did greater works after He left them. Jesus never wrote a book or traveled outside of Israel, but He was able to use a band of eleven followers to create the largest, most influential movement the world has ever seen.
*Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
*He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
*He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
*He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
*He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
*He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
*He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.In The Jesus Principle, Joseph Mattera helps you unleash greatness in yourself, but even more importantly, in your circle of influence-your spouse, children, friends, and family.
Following Jesus’ example, you will be empowered to leave a legacy of helping others fulfill their own potential so that after you have passed, you are still speaking! Become part of a great cloud of witnesses who help to unleash human potential in one another. The four Gospels are not only compilations of important moral and spiritual sayings, but they also contain principles that can enable us to move from potential to fulfillment of purpose.

To Hell With The Hustle
$19.99Add to cartNew York Times bestselling author Jefferson Bethke delivers a call to resist our cultural worship of connectivity and achievement before we lose the essentials that make us distinctly and deeply human.
Our culture makes constant demands of us. Do more. Accomplish more. Buy more. Post more. Tweet more. And in following those demands, we have indeed become more–more anxious, more tired, more hurt, more depressed, more frantic. What we are doing isn’t working because, Jefferson Bethke argues, we have forgotten the fundamentals that make us human, the things that anchor our lives, providing us with roots and meaning.
In this highly anticipated new book, Jefferson Bethke delivers a wake-up call to resist our culture and embrace the slowness of Jesus. To stop doing and start becoming by proactively setting up boundaries in our lives and cultivating disciplines within them. He shows his readers how to find landmarks, anchors, and rhythms that provide depth and meaning and that push back against the demands of contemporary life. And he reveals that what the world teaches us to avoid at all costs–things such as silence, obscurity, solitude, and vulnerability–are the very things that can give us the meaning, depth, order, and the richness we are truly looking for.

Chosen : Appointed For Favor, Destined For Greatness
$18.99Add to cartMANY ARE CALLED, BUT YOU ARE CHOSEN.
This book will equip you with prophetic insight and divine strategies that will jump-start you on the path toward destiny.
There is a distinction between the called and the chosen, the many and the few. Who are these people? How did they get exclusive access to the favor of God? They are confident and prosperous, generous and joyful. They live in the realm of miracles and the supernatural, as if the very breath of God is on every decision they make in life. One season after the next they are catapulted to new levels in life. All they do is win and trample over challenges, disappointments, and attacks from the enemy, while others still remain at the starting line, awaiting breakthrough.In her book Michelle McClain-Walters shows readers just what this distinction is and how they can live in the fullness of their identity as God’s chosen ones. Built on the words of Christ in John 15:16–“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit–fruit that will last–and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you”–and Matthew 22:14–“Many are called but few are chosen”–Chosen is a revelation of the spiritual force behind the life of the next-level believer.
Choose now and declare, “I am chosen!” and watch as the mysteries of heaven are opened to you.

Soul Reset : Breakdown, Breakthrough, And The Journey To Wholeness
$14.99Add to cartEverything was going fine . . . until it wasn’t. For Reverend Junius B. Dotson it took an actual breakdown during a funeral for him to realize he needed a reset. As he recalls his own journey through grief, depression, burnout, and emotional breakdown, Dotson is passionate about calling for a Soul Reset for pastors, church leaders, and all disciples of Jesus Christ.
This is a 7-week churchwide study for everyone who moves at breakneck speed through their daily lives, often relying only on their own strength to bring God’s kingdom on earth.

And if we do burn out or break down, we learn to lift one another up and point one another back to Jesus.

Inspirational communicator Nancy Hicks describes four “camps” of Christians who wallow in the bad news (our fallen-ness), while disgruntled Christians and non-Christians alike are watching and thinking: If that’s what it means to be a Christian, no thanks! Frankly, these versions of the Gospel aren’t good. So, those watching are left wondering: How are we to live?
Meant to Live offers a vision on humanity’s calling and a way to live a genuine life gloriously into the Good News! Nancy combines personal stories with biblical wisdom and offers a revisit of the Gospel. She offers a fresh view on humanity’s glory as seen in the Gospel and an honest diagnosis of the four main “camps” often found in the Church. Nancy also helps readers identify an honest assessment of self. Meant to Live is a practical guide to living in light of the Gospel and is an inspired and energized focus on the core calling in Christians’ lives.

Receiving Jesus : The Way Of Love
$17.95Add to cartPractical and inspiring ways to practice a Jesus-centered life
So often we think of the Christian faith as an obligation or as a set of beliefs that we must hold. With this outlook, we can lose sight of what is most important: the invitation to experience a loving, personal relationship with God. It’s a relationship we can trust, where we can find refuge and solid ground upon which to stand. The Way of Love set forth by the Episcopal Church’s Presiding Bishop Michael Bruce Curry is the journey of a lifetime. It’s a way of knowing God, receiving and sharing Jesus’ love, and being a blessing to the world. Mariann Edgar Budde shares her thoughts on how the reader can come to know–to receive–Jesus more deeply in practicing the Way of Love. Through the seven practices that have been put before us: to turn, to learn, to pray and to worship, to bless, to go, and to rest, she will share biblical stories, wisdom from the Christian tradition, and her own personal stories of spiritual growth.

Creados Para Un Proposito – (Spanish)
$16.99Add to cartUsted no es un accidente. Su presencia en esta tierra no es un error. Tampoco es insignificante. Por el contrario, usted es querido aqui–!y necesitado!
Usted es una creacion de Dios con un proposito unico. Muchas personas “hacen” cosas para tratar de ganar aceptacion por parte de otros, para poder “ser” alguien. Se convierten en esclavos de la opinion publica y nunca saben realmente quienes estaban supuestos a ser.
Cuando sabemos que somos hijos amados de Dios, elegidos desde la fundacion del mundo, y descubrimos quien El nos diseo para ser, pensaremos y actuaremos desde esa perspectiva. Todo lo demas se desarrollara a partir de nuestra identidad y existencia en El. Esa identidad va aun mas alla de nuestro proposito personal hasta el punto de alcanzar los planes eternos de Dios para el mundo y el emocionante rol que desempeamos en ellos.
Dios creo a todos los seres humanos para tener dominio sobre la tierra. Y El nos ha asignado a cada uno de nosotros una porcion del “territorio” donde podemos ejercer la medida de nuestro dominio en la tierra. Este dominio se basa en la fe, la uncion y los dones que El nos ha dado. Nuestras palabras y acciones son mas efectivas cuando estamos en el territorio que Dios nos ha asignado y cuando estamos buscando primero Su Reino. Este poder “territorial” no es meramente simbolico. Es una realidad en la que debemos vivir. El territorio en el que vamos a ser fructiferos no es fortuito o general, sino especifico.
En Creados para un proposito, usted descubrira el plan de Dios para su vida como un miembro amado y valioso de Su creacion, que significa ser llamado por Dios y como conocer y vivir en su proposito a lo largo de su vida.
Usted no es un accidente. Usted esta presente en esta tierra por una razon importante. !Descubra quien esta usted supuesto a ser!

You are a creation of God with a unique purpose. Many people “do” things to try to gain acceptance by others, so that they can “be” someone. They become slaves to public opinion and never really know who they were meant to be.
When we know that we are God’s beloved children, chosen from the foundation of the world, and discover who He designed us to be, we will think and act from that perspective. Everything else will develop from our identity and existence in Him. That identity goes beyond even our personal purpose to God’s eternal plans for the world and our exciting role in them.
God created all human beings to have dominion over the earth. And He has assigned each of us a portion of “territory” where we can exercise the measure of our dominion on earth. This dominion is based on the faith, anointing, and gifts He has given us. Our words and actions are most effective when we are in the territory God has assigned to us and are seeking first His kingdom. This “territorial” power is not merely symbolic. It is a reality in which we must live. The territory in which we are to be fruitful is not random or general but specific.
In Created for Purpose, you will discover God’s plan for your life as a loved and valuable member of His creation, what it means to be called by God, and how to know and live in your purpose throughout your life.
You are not an accident. You are present on this earth for a significant reason. Find out who you were meant to be!

*fear vs. faith
*last vs. first
*love vs. hate
*worry vs. worship

Hidden In Christ
$18.99Add to cartA Deeper Sort of Devotional
Words are powerful. They contain ideas and shape the way we see God, ourselves and all of reality. We’re transformed, in particular, by God’s Word, and by “the Word,” the Logos-Jesus himself-as described by John in the first chapter of his Gospel.
Memorizing and studying a passage in depth can offer a deeper sense of the meaning of each word. In this unique introduction to the hidden life in Christ, James Bryan Smith walks readers through a thirty-day immersion in Colossians 3:1-17. Each of the thirty short chapters of this book bring out the main truth of just one word or phrase of this rich passage. You’ll also find a very simple daily practice to take up, reflection questions and a guide for five weeks of group discussion.
The chapters are short in length, making this book an ideal daily devotional. Since there are thirty chapters, it could be used for a one-month introduction to the hidden life in Christ. Though brief in terms of length, each chapter tries to unearth some very deep truths. For those who have read and practiced the exercises in the Apprentice series, this book will be a helpful refresher as you continue your sacred journey.
Each chapter also contains an exercise or practice (“Living into the Truth”), as well as an affirmation that summarizes the main point of the chapter and a written prayer designed to move you deeper into the truths of the Word. In addition, each chapter concludes with a few reflection questions that can be used either by individuals or in a group discussion.
The only way to tell a story is to use words. May the words of Colossians 3 become a companion to you as God continues to write your story.

Winding Path Of Transformation
$17.99Add to cartJeff Tacklind, pastor of Church by the Sea–a quirky, diverse congregation in Laguna Beach, California–knows from decades of ministry experience that sometimes effective leadership looks like standing in the middle of conflict, holding the tension. In The Winding Path of Transformation, Tacklind describes spiritual transformation as an invitation to paradox. By entering into suffering, he says, we find joy. By embracing the downward path of humility, we find glory. And by remaining small, sometimes we grow to great heights. Any leaders who have wondered if God really called them to lead a congregation will resonate with Tacklind’s vulnerability in this honest and meditative account. So will readers who have found their own spiritual journey to be winding and halting rather than a constant ascent of growth. Tacklind draws from the natural world–trees, waves, mountains, and canyons–to bring to life the lessons that he has picked up along the way. C. S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Sren Kierkegaard and others all serve as guides who light the way on the winding path of following God.

By The Way

Foreword by Derwin Gray, founding pastor of Transformation Church and former NFL player.
What if asking Jesus into our hearts is not the heart of the gospel?
In By the Way, pastor and author Derek Vreeland reframes everything we’ve been told about Christianity and what it means to follow Jesus. Discipleship isn’t an add-on. Jesus didn’t say, Go into all the world and get people saved or Get people to ask me into their hearts. Jesus said, Go therefore and make disciples. Reclaiming discipleship as the heart of the Christian faith means seeing anew the gospel, the cross, the resurrection, transformation, and the community of faith. We learn the ways of Jesus by practicing them, Vreeland says, and in By the Way, he introduces us to the ways of Jesus.
Discipleship means joining God’s joyful mission of reconciliation on earth, not just saving souls for the afterlife. Following Jesus is more like taking a long walk in the woods than sitting in a classroom. Living by the Way takes practice–and that’s the point.

The first part of this book is meant to be a sieve to separate the chaff from the wheat. Use it on your own soul. It may be the most profitable and beneficial work you have ever done. He who looked into his accounts and found that his business was losing money was saved from bankruptcy. This may happen also to you. If, however, you discover that your heavenly business is prospering, it will be a great comfort to you. You cannot lose by honestly searching your own heart.
The second part of this book examines God’s promises to His children. The promises of God not only exceed all precedent, but they also exceed all imitation. No one has been able to compete with God in the language of liberality. The promises of God are as much above all other promises as the heavens are above the earth.

Que Enojo A Jesus – (Spanish)
$13.99Add to cartTim Harlow, pastor principal de Parkview Christian Church, ayuda a los cristianos a redescubrir al apasionado Salvador de la Biblia, que todavia es relevante en la actualidad.
Durante aos, los cristianos han preguntado: “Que haria Jesus?” Pero y si hicieramos una pregunta mas precisa y esclarecedora: “Que enoja a Jesus?”
Por mucho que nos encante ver una imagen dulce y tierna de Jesus, esa imagen no esta completa. Jesus se enojo algunas veces, y mucho. Eso no deberia sorprendernos, pero con quien se enojo y por que? Jesus se enfurecia a causa de personas cuyas actitudes se interponian con su proposito: buscar y salvar a los perdidos, unirnos con el amor increible de Dios. Entonces, cuando veia la hipocresia, la codicia, el juicio y la falta de misericordia provenientes de los corazones de personas que supuestamente seguian a Dios y, como resultado, apartaban a la gente de el, Jesus entraba en orbita. Nosotros sentimos lo mismo?
Cualquiera sea el problema -tolerar la injusticia, evadir a los pecadores o ignorar a los mas pequeos entre nosotros- Que enoja a Jesus? abre nuestros ojos a los asuntos que mas le molestaron a Jesus y que deberian enojarnos como cristianos, si es que alineamos nuestro corazon con el suyo y deseamos seguirlo realmente como Salvador.

Suffering With A Purpose
$14.95Add to cartThe greatest test of your faith won’t come from routine encounters in your work, family or social life. Nor will it come from extraordinary challenges or temptations. No, your greatest test will be whether you will trust God when you suffer, or whether you will, in the words of Job’s wife, “curse God and die.”
In Suffering with a Purpose, Dom Hubert van Zeller helps you prepare now for all your sufferings in life by enabling you to see them with the eyes of the Spirit.
Van Zeller, the wise author of Holiness for Housewives, maintains that you can understand the mystery of suffering only by means of the Passion of Christ. In this book, he explores the fourteen stages of the Passion narrative, plumbing the inner meanings of each in order to reveal why there has to be pain, and what you should do (and should not do) about it.

Live The Questions
$17.99Add to cart“Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” -Rainer Maria Rilke Life is full of questions: questions about our identity, our relationships, our faith. Sometimes it seems like there are no easy answers. But our questioning can lead us on a journey into greater understanding and purpose. Jeffrey Keuss says that asking good questions helps us to lead good lives. He takes us on a tour of Scripture to find insights from people who asked questions of God and others. From God asking Adam and Eve, “Where are you?” to the Samaritan woman asking Jesus for water, Live the Questions explores critical questions in Scripture and what they can teach us about doubt, faith, and uncertainty in our everyday lives. Grappling with hard questions is necessary for us to form deeper faith commitments and discern who we are called to become. So don’t be afraid of the questions-live them.

“I see you over there worshiping but, you know, you’re going to have to get that piercing out of your eyebrow.” -CHURCHGOER
The Bible says God looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7) and we are called to do the same. But there are still Christians who look at the piercings, clothes, and tattoos of people before even looking at their hearts. Not only do their relationships suffer, but their churches do too, as attendance declines and a culture of appearance-based morality creeps in.
Apostle Matthew L. Stevenson III exposes the traditions that root us in religiosity and prevent us from spreading the good news. Learn how to:
*Avoid judging others based on their appearances
*Extend the grace God has so richly extended to us
*Recognize the difference between judgment and discernment
*Demonstrate the Gospel in a way that draws others to JesusKnown for reaching people from all walks of life, Stevenson dives into the Word of God and unpacks what it really means to be holy.

Redwoods And Whales
$15.99Add to cartLiving under the Canopy of God’s Grace
In Redwoods and Whales, Phil Joel makes a passionate plea to a new generation of believers to not get “beached” in their faith, but rather get planted like mighty redwood.
By unlocking key Scriptures and reflecting on these two events, Joel shows readers the perils of wandering too far away from the “pod” and the unending pleasures of living life under the canopy of God’s amazing redwoods.
As a founding member of the GRAMMY(R)-nominated supergroup Newsboys, Phil Joel still has a burning passion to see young people be liberated in their faith.
This drive became even more acute one day while roaming the California shoreline. Phil walked right into a beached whale. Shocked to find this beautiful mammal out of its normal habitat and slowly dying, Phil joined a group of local rescuers as they attempted to return the young whale back into the ocean. Later, as he continued his journey up the California coast, he encountered a vast redwood tree forest that also left him breathless.
The word “California” means paradise, and indeed every year thousands of people flock to California in search of the good life. Yet whales were never intended to live on land no matter how picturesque.
Redwoods and Whales offers a warning and a promise:

More REAL : Embracing The Authentic Life God Created You For
$12.99Add to cartLESS Shame LESS Masks MORE Real Jesus promises “life and life to the full”. So why do so many people walk away from faith–and not just teenagers but people who have been in church for years? ?The full life offered is one of genuine relationship with God and others, but has our tendency to fight vulnerability, mask weakness and hide disappointment cost us the real thing? Have we tried to keep it together, keep the faith, until we simply can’t do it anymore? Following Jesus should not require fronts: when we fully grasp the love of God towards us, in all our mess and sin and doubt, we experience the freedom that vulnerability, honesty, and sacrifice brings. That’s real life; life to the full. MORE Real explores how we can build lives on truth, and cultivate a real faith that lasts through the storms of life. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blog posts on a theme, the more series will afford readers the space (whether it be five minutes on the subway or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way.

The journey toward deeper faith and spiritual maturity is a lifelong pursuit, with plenty of stops and bumps along the way. Inevitably, there comes a point when Christians–new believers and veterans in the faith alike–find themselves asking, “What do I do next? How do I stay motivated to grow deeper in my relationship with God when I feel complacent, intimidated, or confused? What can I do to get back on track when I hit a spiritual rut?
“In What’s Next?, Chris Hodges reveals the four steps to spiritual maturity: knowing God, finding freedom, discovering purpose, and making a difference. He shows how they are part of both a linear path and a cycle that Christians continue returning to at increasingly deeper levels as they grow. Accessible and clear, concise and profound, What’s Next? is a trail guide leading to a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Father and the joy that comes from the journey.

Be A Disciple Make A Disciple
$12.99Add to cartThe twenty-first century Church has the same Holy Spirit power and many more modern-day resources than the first century Church, yet the first century Church had greater success in making disciples. Why? They followed the plan Jesus gave them, and He blessed it. But the more worldly progress we’ve made, the more we’ve deviated from Jesus’s plan by choosing programs, entertainment, and socials with only surface-level encounters.
We neglect to make a connection with the lost, and they see no real commitment from the church. So they come and go as we continue to meet and plan more programs. To end the cycle, we must go and make disciples as Jesus taught–investing our lives in the lives of others.
Do you long to live the Great Commission and make disciples, but you’re not sure how? In Be a Disciple, Make a Disciple, Ellie Littleton offers biblical examples and concepts that break down the hard work of discipleship into sixteen thought-provoking lessons.
So go and make disciples. “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples” (John 15:8 niv).

I Choose Honor
$17.99Add to cartWhen you honor the people that others hate, you honor God.
Trying harder doesn’t always improve relationships or bring promotion. But choosing to live with honor will strengthen relationships, bring elevation, build bridges, and deepen our worship of and intimacy with God.
The blessing of honor is seen throughout Scripture, as those who remained honorable flourished, and those who did not suffered from tragedies, wars, and hardships. This book explains that when we honor family members, authority figures, the overlooked, colleagues, subordinates, and the like simply because they are God’s creation, we honor God. And honoring God is an act of worship that leads to a deeper intimacy with Him.
While some self-improvement and leadership books address the importance of respect, few explain the life-changing power of honor. Through biblical examples and personal stories, this book will help readers grow closer in their relationship with Jesus and truly appreciate the people around them as they learn to create a culture of honor in their lives, families, and ministries.

D2 : Becoming A Devoted Follower Of Christ
$14.99Add to cart“Follow me!” These two words changed the lives of twelve unlikely individuals in the first century, and they can change the course of your life as well. Many people claim to follow Jesus, but truly following him involves a commitment to transformational discipleship, not just nominal acceptance. Discipleship was the mission of Christ, and therefore, as disciples, it is our mission as well, both to be disciples and to make disciples. Following as a disciple of Jesus begins with hearing his call and then desiring to grow in our relationship with him. However, we are too often satisfied with simply receiving God’s grace and neglect to give it back. We desire to gain all the privileges of a disciple minus the commitment to be one. As a result, we need to develop a consistent, coordinated, and intentional plan for greater spiritual growth and discipleship, focused on gaining an ever- increasing ability to apply God’s Word to life. If you want more than sitting in pews and checking off church participation boxes, if you are ready to live the life Christ calls you to by following him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, this book is for you”–

Assured : Discover Grace Let Go Of Guilt And Rest In Your Salvation
$17.00Add to cartDespite our professions of belief, our baptisms, and our membership in the church, many of us secretly wonder, Am I truly saved? We worry that our love for Jesus isn’t fervent enough (or isn’t as fervent as someone else’s). We worry that our faith isn’t strong enough. We struggle through the continuing presence of sin in our lives. All this steals the joy of our salvation and can lead us into a life characterized by legalism, perfectionism, and works righteousness–the very life Jesus freed us from at the cross!
But Greg Gilbert has a message for the anxious believer–be assured. Assured that your salvation experience was real. Assured that your sins–past, present, and future–are forgiven. Assured that everyone stumbles. Assured that Jesus is not your judge but your advocate. With deep compassion, Gilbert comforts readers, encouraging them to release their guilt, shame, and anxiety to rejoice in and follow hard after the One who set them free.

Find Your Place
$18.99Add to cartEvery person has been designed by God for one-of-a-kind Masterpiece Mission, what most people refer to as personal calling or personal purpose. Everyone needs to be able to name what God has put them on the earth to do. Most people never do. That is a tragedy of epic proportions.We need a simple way to discover that calling, and Find Your Place is that way. GPS technology is widely known as a way to know where you are on the earth, as well as a way to guide you to get where you want to go. The Find Your Place book will help followers of Jesus locate three signals that will help people discern their personal calling: their Gifts, their Passions, and their Story, and help them take meaningful next steps to engage that calling.Furthermore, the American Church has a Co-Dependency Disorder. Church members have become dependent upon church leaders, and church leaders need their members to remain that way. This co-dependence is doing more than throttling the vitality of the church…it is strangling it. In order for the people of God to truly thrive and be salt and light in the world, church leaders must move from simply “gathering and teaching” their members to “empowering and releasing them.” This book, the accompanying online assessment, and the disciple-making tools that both will be integrated into, will all be a part of a turn-key solution for church leaders to accomplish that goal.

Chayil : Release The Power Of A Virtuous Woman
$12.99Add to cartFROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF PRAYERS THAT ROUT DEMONS
Influence and power are not just for men.
The fight was never intended to be man vs. woman. Both men and women are strong and mighty in the Lord. Chayil is a Hebrew word that is connected to strength, wealth, power, influence, wisdom, and military might, and it happens to be the word translated “virtuous” in Proverbs 31. Since the beginning of time chayil, or “virtuous,” women have been created to fight for and defend their homes, families, and other kingdom entities against evil influences. Chayil women have been empowered to organize and activate those under their authority so that everything to which they are assigned runs smoothly and with excellence.
A chayil woman is strong, mighty, and efficient; valiant, virtuous, and victorious. We were created to war together, man and woman, side by side, tearing down demonic strongholds of wickedness and advancing the territory of the kingdom of God. If you want to be empowered to accomplish your kingdom destiny and purpose in Christ, this book is for you! Using numerous examples from Scripture, this book shows women how to tap into the essence of the chayil anointing so they will be:
*endued with power to defend and take back what is theirs;
*strengthened and motivated to tap into their God-given abilities and power to build and influence the areas they occupy;
*activated with supernatural wisdom and power to get wealth and to overtake the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy;
*able to take authority and defend their families, possessions, destinies, property, and dignity;
*encouraged to have an edge against the forces that try to destroy their vision and success in business or ministry.The chayil anointing manifests in the woman who is anointed for ministry, business, and marketplace influence.

Monuments Of Grace
$15.99Add to cartA Not Enough Words Title
Worship is the culture of Heaven.
When we worship, we become cultural ambassadors of heaven here on earth.
The great theologian A.W. Tozer wrote that mankind’s created purpose is to worship God. If this is true, worship must be something more than just the 20 minutes of music at church before the preacher delivers the sermon. Worship is at the core of what it means to be a Christian, the very heart of discipleship. It should invade and transform every aspect of life. What would it look like if Christians made bringing God glory the central goal of every thought, every word, and every deed?
In the Old Testament, when God revealed Himself to His people, often they would respond by building an altar in His honor. These altars served a dual purpose: both as sanctuaries of worship where God’s glory rested and as monuments to what He had done there. Future generations would see these stone altars and recall the testimonies of God’s miraculous blessings. In the New Testament, the Apostle Peter writes, “We are living stones, being built into a spiritual house for a holy priesthood to offer sacrifices acceptable to God.” Our lives are now the altars before our Father, ignited by the Holy Spirit, to bring glory to Jesus through sacrificial worship and to be monuments of His grace to the world around us.
In his new book, Monuments of Grace, Wes Pickering explores what it means to embrace worship as a lifestyle. The world is hungry for authentic connection to God’s presence, and the Church has been commissioned to carry His presence everywhere we go, to see heaven invade earth. That kind of breakthrough lifestyle always begins with encountering the Lord in worship.

More TRUTH : Searching For Certainty In An Uncertain World
$16.99Add to cartLESS Fake LESS Doubt MORE Truth Truth is a tricky thing. Today, “the truth” is not just hard to swallow; it is something we refuse to swallow. Truth is too certain, too divisive, too arrogant. In response, today’s truth is often one of relativism: what’s true for you might not be true for me. But if it’s sometimes true, and sometimes not, is it really truth at all? Jesus claimed to be “the way and the truth and the life.” But can we really accept this ultimate truth in an age of questioning, uncertainty, relativism and skepticism? In MORE Truth, young philosopher Kristi Mair explores whether Christians can be confident in the “truth” in our anything goes age. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blog posts on a theme, the more series will afford readers the space (whether it be five minutes on the subway or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way.

When Faith Fails
$17.99Add to cartPastor Dominic Done reveals how doubt can deepen faith and provides readers with a way to wrestle and ask questions while growing ever closer to God.
Wrestling with faith and doubt can be profoundly lonely and isolating. Some suffer in silence while others abandon belief altogether, assuming doubt is incompatible with faith. Dominic Done believes this is both tragic and deeply mistaken. In When Faith Fails, Done writes of his own experience with faith and doubt, using Scripture, literature, and the lives of others who have doubted to argue that not only is questioning normal but it is often a path toward a rich and vibrant faith. Taking up specific issues that often create doubt–the silence of God, the place of science, offensive portions of Scripture, and the problem of suffering–Done offers practical ways for Christians to move through doubt into deep faith, a faith that wrestles, celebrates questions, and embraces the mystery of belief.

Sacred Pace : Four Steps To Hearing God And Aligning Yourself With His Will
$18.99Add to cartHow do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a five-step process for doing just that – a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company.
At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all-until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn.
Sacred Pace is a five-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to:
*slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
*sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord,
*gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and
*grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best.This book is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks readers through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

Maturity : Growing Up And Going On In The Christian Life
$17.00Add to cartWhat are the most important lessons the New Testament has to teach us about being a Christian?
Sinclair Ferguson shows that a deep-seated concern of the writers of the New Testament was to see Christians grow to spiritual maturity?”???”and if that was the concern of the first believers, then it should be our concern too.
In clear and logical chapters that are rooted in the reality of the Christian life, the author, who has had long experience in pastoral ministry and seminary teaching, seeks to show what Christian maturity is, and how it is to be obtained.
It was the apostle Paul’s desire to present those to whom he ministered ‘mature in Christ’?”???”for such a maturity would lead to stable, servant-hearted Christians, and healthy, fruit-bearing churches.
All those who desire to live useful, mature, and consistent Christian lives will gain much wisdom from reading and reflecting upon the contents of this book.

More Of God
$16.99Add to cartMany of us want more from God instead of more of God.
Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This is a promise. No one needs to tell you if the water you drank when you were thirsty made you feel better. So too with experiencing God. When it happens, you will know it for yourself.
More of God is about moving beyond faith. It is about getting more of God. Experiencing more of God. Every book in the Bible, especially the books of the New Testament, are written for this purpose. Take the letters; those who are addressed were already saved. But the writers wanted their hearers to experience not just more knowledge about God but more of God.
Everything in this book is designed to make you hungry. Thirsty. As you read, keep in mind that the ever-increasing hunger for more of God is from God.
Kendall’s advice: “Don’t settle for more mere information about God. Or more theological knowledge. Give yourself no rest until you cross over that crucial line from secondhand knowledge about God to firsthand knowledge of God. There is nothing more exciting than when you see for yourself that God is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit is real, and the Bible is true!”
