Hope Hurt And Healing
$17.99In her early 20’s, Catherine Renfro received a phone call no one should have. In broken hopelessness, her brother, Barrett, called out with despair before taking his own life. She and her father would rush over to his home only to find out that he was no longer with them.
Catherine went through a season of grief that hundreds of thousands of people endure every year in America. But even in the midst of anger, depression, and guilt, she would say that Christ never left her.In Hope, Hurt, and Healing, Catherine Renfro addresses the reality of loss, the feeling of brokenness, the guilt of living on while also pointing to the hope of the gospel, the peace of relying on Christ, and the trusting in God even during the broken seasons. She offers a real look at suicide loss, but she does not simply live in the despair. Instead, she uses her own life to point people to Christ and lean on his goodness to discover hope for the present and healing for the future.

Lies My Therapist Told Me
$32.99From beloved Christian counselor, professor, and podcaster Greg Gifford comes a bold critique of the mental health establishment. Therapy can backfire and fail, but Christ offers more.
Too many people are caught in a vicious cycle of visiting every doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and therapist in their area only to find frustrating labels and numbing medications at the end of each path. Rather than eradicating anxiety in the same way vaccines conquered smallpox, the mental health establishment has seen the number of diagnoses and prescriptions skyrocket on its watch.
How did we get here? And does Christianity have any answers for this mental health crisis?
In Lies My Therapist Told Me, Dr. Greg Gifford delivers the definitive Christian critique of secular psychiatry and psychology. He shows how mental health culture spreads beliefs that misinform our understanding of ourselves and our issues, and he debunks popular myths such as:
*We feel and act the way we do because the body keeps the scores of trauma
*Addiction is a disease
*If you improve your brain health, your mind will follow
*Medications can heal your soul
*Every abnormal or sinful behavior is caused by a mental disorderThese ideas, though common, are ultimately unhelpful because they are based on unbiblical assumptions. Gifford brings clarity where secular therapy has created confusion, and offers hope even for those struggling with the hard cases. Through deep research, biblical teaching, and the inspiring stories of real counselees, he shows why we can’t blame the past –or even a diagnosis– for our bad behavior, and why our society’s growing unhappiness is not primarily a medical issue.
With a foreword by Todd Friel of Wretched Radio, this book is a must-read for counselors and counselees alike. You can read all the mental health research in the world, but you still won’t learn God’s answers for winning the battles in your mind. Lies My Therapist Told Me is a powerful, cutting-edge argument that the supernatural wisdom of the Bible is truly enough for every need.

Make Sense Of Your Story
$66.65Looking back at painful stories from the past seems counterproductive, especially when it appears unrelated to our present lives. But what if exploring our past stories can help us make sense of where we are now and begin to imagine who we would like to become? Rather than ignoring, suppressing, or running from our past hurts, looking at our stories of heartache and how they have shaped us helps make sense of who we are now and points the way to freedom and meaningful change.
In Make Sense of Your Story, trauma therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Adam Young helps you explore your personal story so you can understand how your experiences have shaped your brain–which, in turn, allows you to understand why your present day-to-day life looks and feels the way it does. He shows you how to confront and process the story of your family of origin, your sexual story, the story your body is telling you, your cultural story, your story with God, and more with kindness rather than judgment so that you can experience healing, self-acceptance, and release.
The secret to making sense of your present life is understanding your past experiences. And if you want to change the narrative, you have to engage your story.

$19.99Is there a way to walk into the final chapters of life with peace and confidence, and with support and wisdom?
We all are living an earthly story with a beginning, middle, and end. While aspects of our story’s closing hold mystery, we do not have to feel lost as we move toward it. We instead can lean on the support and wisdom of others who know the path ahead.

Drawing on her years of experience and strong faith, Dr. Pyle will share inspiring patient stories and clear guidance, helping you to:
*navigate the world of healthcare with confidence,
*prepare an end-of-life plan with peace,
*remember your heavenly destination with hope,
*embrace the final chapters with love, and
*anticipate the presence of God and your glorified body with joy.Clarity can replace chaos. Assurance can overcome uncertainty. And love can conquer fear. You are not alone on this path.

When Religion Hurts You
$19.99Religious trauma is something that happens far more often than most people realize.
In When Religion Hurts You, Dr. Laura Anderson takes an honest look at a side of religion that few like to talk about. Drawing from her own life and therapy practice, she helps readers understand what religious trauma is and isn’t, and how high-control churches can be harmful and abusive, often resulting in trauma. She shows how elements of fundamentalist church life–such as fear of hell, purity culture, corporal punishment, and authoritarian leaders–can cause psychological, relational, physical, and spiritual damage.
As she explores the growing phenomenon of religious trauma, Dr. Anderson helps readers embark on a journey of living as healing individuals and finding a new foundation to stand on. Recognizing that healing is a lifelong rather than a linear process, she offers markers of healing for those coming out of painful religious experiences and hope for finding wholeness after religious trauma.

When Faith Meets Therapy
$19.99Now available in trade paper!
The power of faith intersects with the practicality of counseling in this unique partnership of a faith/worship leader and a therapist as they offer a pathway for readers to find help, hope, healing, and freedom while navigating life’s struggles.
No one is immune from life’s difficulties, yet many people are reluctant to talk about mental health or seek professional help when they are struggling. People of faith who are battling issues such as anxiety, depression, life changes, stress, or relationship problems may suffer in silence, believing things would get better if only their faith was stronger, they prayed more, or if they had more self-discipline. The stigma about needing to seek help is all too real.
But seeking professional help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign that someone is serious about moving forward emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Written by producer, artist, and author Anthony Evans, along with licensed psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser, When Faith Meets Therapy:
*Dispels the cultural myths and stigmas that surround professional therapy
*Shares stories from the authors’ personal experiences and others who are facing life’s challenges
*Provides practical steps that readers can take in the pursuit of emotional, relational, and spiritual progress
Anthony and Stacy met five years ago when Anthony was seeking emotional and relational healing of his own. Stacy led Anthony through his own process of internal renovation and remains his personal therapist to this day.
When Faith Meets Therapy contains priceless, practical knowledge to break stereotypes that surround therapy, all while offering immeasurable hope and encouragement.

Hem Of His Garment
$17.99Hope for When the Pain Won’t Quit
Everyone experiences pain at times. It can manifest physically, emotionally, relationally, or spiritually. It can follow tragic accidents, great loss, sudden betrayal, or unexpected and unwanted change. Often it is temporary. But what do you do when it isn’t? When the pain just won’t go away, when healing does not come, when the grief and hurt settle in?
Drawing on her own experience of chronic pain and her years as a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides a countercultural perspective on pain. Offering hope without any false promises or empty platitudes, Dr. Bengtson unwraps the complex emotional aspects of dealing with pain. She gives you permission to question God, helps you identify the lies you’ve believed about your pain, and reorients your perception based on the truth of God’s Word. Each chapter ends with a recommended playlist, reflection questions, and a prayer.
Your pain may not change, but your experience of it can.

Shattered Shepherds : Finding Hope In The Midst Of Ministry Disaster
$15.28Frustration, disappointment, and heartache are inevitable in pastoral ministry. Sheep are not always docile and cooperative, and there are plenty of wolves to contend with as well. Every church has people who seem to think criticism is a spiritual gift, and the pastor naturally gets the brunt of their complaints. Young men frequently leave the ministry in discouragement, and burnout is common among experienced pastors. Steve Swartz has experienced?and survived?church problems that would demoralize any pastor. He has written a compact but potent book that offers a wealth of straightforward biblical help and encouragement for fellow pastors struggling to get past ministry setbacks. This is a much-needed resource.
Shattered Shepherds aptly addresses the care of pastors and church leaders who have been badly hurt in the course of ministry. But rather than characterizing them just as victims, Steve lovingly encourages personal reflection and growth even while giving much-needed comfort to these wounded warriors. Steve’s goal is to get these men back into the pulpit with renewed strength and soft hearts for God’s people. Thoroughly biblical and immediately practical, this book will shepherd men and their wives back to the church of Jesus Christ.

$14.99Readers encounter a new message about God’s redemptive plan for their failures and shortcomings.
One bite of forbidden fruit is all it took to send humanity reeling from God. What Sheila Walsh unveils in God Loves Broken People is that God had a divine plan even then that is hidden underneath our pain and mistakes.

In this powerful book full of deep biblical teaching, Walsh encourages readers with God’s truth that he is not done with them yet, that he can and will redeem their failures to create a deeper intimacy with him and accomplish his kingdom purposes.
Everyone has messed up somehow, sometime. For anyone who is not able to move beyond and experience the deep love and grace of God, they need God Loves Broken People.

What I Learned When I Was 10
$19.99In this book, popular author J. Ellsworth Kalas reflects back on the tenth year of his life and talks about how that year shaped him and his Christian faith in so many important ways.

Kalas shares many stories about what it was like growing up in Iowa during the days of the Great Depression, and he recounts many people and events that shaped and have continued to shape his life to this day.
Themes explored include the importance of connecting with one’s past, salvation, hearing God’s call, living life with urgency, self-worth, the importance of investing and giving wisely, discovering the richness of the Bible, having confidence in God’s promise, and the importance of looking back over your life to make sense of all the lessons you have learned.

Eternity In Their Hearts (Reprinted)

And there have been others throughout the world, like him, who lived to receive the blessing of the gospel.Get ready to be amazed at these intriguing examples of how God uses redemptive analogies to bring all men to Himself, bearing out the truth from Ecclesiastes that God “has also set eternity in the hearts of men” (3:11).

How To Make Your Dream Come Alive Workbook (Workbook)
$18.73This workbook accompanies Pastor Ellis’ textbook of the same title. It reinforces the principles of the book through “Short Answer”, “Things to Do”, “Reflection Questions” and practical exercises.
“It would be hard to over-praise the ministry of Pastor Delton Ellis. The impact of Keepers of the Temple Ministries International on our church workers has transformed our ministry. I energetically recommend Pastor Delton on video and in person.” -Weldon L. Tisdale, Sr. Pastor, Friendship Church Tulsa, Oklahoma “When the name Delton Ellis is mentioned, there are at least three words that leap into my spirit. These words are Service, Protocol, and Leadership. When one is in his presence, these unique qualities ensue from him in a practical and overwhelming way. One encounter with this rare gift to the body of Christ in any capacity-as an author, conference speaker, preacher, or workshop presenter-will confirm and demonstrate the aforementioned qualities. The insights in this book will not only provide valuable information and inspiration, but if embraced, they will also increase your level of excellence and influence.” -The Right Rev. Dr. Paul C. Cockfield Presiding Bishop Kingdom Five Fold Covenant Fellowship Senior Pastor Battalion Pentecostal Assembly Averne, New York “Pastor Delton Ellis has been ordained and set apart by God for this season in the body of Christ as we promote the ‘spirit of excellence’ in the kingdom. He has ministered at our local assembly, Pilgrim Baptist Temple, and left an indelible mark and impact on the leadership. In this hour when God is expecting our best, Pastor Ellis must be commended for the level of ministry he has brought to various churches in the Bahamas and the United States of America. I recommend this text to all persons in leadership capacities at your local church, because until we can make the dream of our senior pastor come alive, our dreams will never materialize. It is good practical reading material, and you will benefit greatly. I congratulate Pastor Ellis on this achievement and wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” -Overseer E.

Creative Suffering
$15.61What is suffering? And what are the different kinds of suffering? Where does suffering come from-God? Or Satan? What purpose does suffering serve? Should we put up with suffering or simply do whatever we can to avoid it? These and other questions that have perplexed Christians since the birth of the Church will be examined and answered in the light of Scripture. None of us can truthfully say we understand another person’s pain unless we have had the same painful experiences. For too long leaders in the Church have openly taught or covertly implied that if a Christian is suffering there must be something wrong with him. If hurting people can read about others who have suffered the same things they are going through, it will cause them to go deeper into Christ for healing, instead of hiding their pain down inside themselves. We all need to know that our pain, our experiences, should not be denied but, in Jesus, should become Creative Suffering!

Called Chosen And Faithful
$20.61Out of her own experiences as the wife of a pastor, Betty Norcross writes this book to encourage others in ministry. However, this book’s relevance doesn’t stop with the clergy and their families. It can have an impact on anyone who loves the Lord and has a desire to work for Him. Betty tells of her reluctance to begin serving as a pastor’s wife and how she struggled with the many difficulties and discouragements she encountered in this new vocation. Crises occurred so regularly that she began to consider them a vocational hazard in the work of the Church. She takes you through some of her crises, a few of them of earth-shattering proportions, and others not much more than mild tremors. But through it all, Betty relates the faithfulness of the One who called her to the work. Her habit of talking to the Lord about everything on a regular basis proved to be the source of strength she needed for the task. This book will encourage you to be consistent in your daily devotional time. Like Betty, you can discover your Lord is interested in talking with you about all of those trivial, insignificant events in your life as well as the blockbuster traumas

From Growing Up Pains To The Sacred Diary
$19.99The Growing Up Pains Of Adrian Plass
The Sacred Diary Of Adrian PlassAdditional Info
Two favourite works by best-selling author Adrian Plass in one volumeAdrian Plass has a way of telling our stories by telling his, and by so doing has endeared himself to a multitude of readers. Perhaps his secret lies in his humour, from the dark to the absurd. Or it could be his penchant for poking gently but frankly at the foibles of Christian living. Both qualities are on display here, with two of Plass’s best-loved books rolled into one. The Growing Up Pains of Adrian Plass offers reflections on a difficult passage in the author’s personal journey, during which the television programme Company and some of its memorable guests made a deep impact on Plass’s faith. The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37 1/2 is a laugh-filled, fictional daily chronicle of family and church exploits, featuring Plass’s literary alter ego and a memorable cast of supporting characters. Referring to The Sacred Diary, Plass writes, ‘I don’t think I shall ever be unhappy enough to write such a funny book again.’ Though different in character, both books in this volume explore the darker side of living the Christian faith–and, in Plass’s inimitable style, point beyond to the bright hope that lies in Jesus.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Yet she found that just as white light is filtered through raindrops to create a rainbow, so too is God’s light filtered through all of creation and manifested in each being in a unique way. In Colors of the Spirit, Ederer goes through each color of the rainbow to share the special meanings they have for her, and how the qualities they represent can bring us peace and joy in our own lives.

When life is complex, hearts are broken, and dreams go unfulfilled, we do not need words that are misty-eyed with shallow sentimentality, starry-eyed with naive optimism, or dry-eyed with cold logic. Rather, we need words that are clear-eyed with realism and wide-eyed with hope.These are the kinds of words that fill the pages of Charles E. Poole’s bestselling title Is Life Fair? Good Words for Hard Times. They are not perfect words or final words. Rather they are hopeful, good words for the weary ones who must stumble around on the rugged terrain of hard times.

Depression, worry, and disappointment creep into every believer’s heart at one time or another. But we can be set free from these and other difficult emotions and situations that pull us out of fellowship with God.J. Dwight Pentecost draws from his years of teaching and counseling experience to find the answers to life’s problems in the Word of God by surveying fifteen Bible characters who struggle with issues such as guilt, doubt, and resentment. But this is much more than a survey of Bible characters! It’s a path to finding unwavering hope, unsurpassable peace, and unlimited love.
“These studies were prepared,” say Pentecost, “to enable God’s people to find God’s answers to the problems they face from day to day.”

Best-selling author Phillip Keller explores the practical implications of living in daily communion with God. Many Christians believe that this kind of intimate fellowship is a special favor granted only to the loftiest of saints. But Phillip Keller reminds us that every believer can live in the daily joy of God’s presence.
Walking with God in the spirit, in the soul, and in the body – abiding wholly in the presence of Immanuel – will energize and illuminate every corner of one’s life with God’s guidance and comfort. Keller calls the reader to accept God’s invitation to walk humbly with Him. When we accept His invitation, He will reveal to us who we truly are, what life direction we are taking, and the ultimate destination of our individual walk of faith.
Walking with God is for “the weary and worn who have lost their way and are uncertain where to turn….It is intended especially for those seeking souls who long to walk with God in humble joy – who ache fiercely for the Master’s friendship.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
