Economic Empowerment Through The Church
$24.99Add to cartThe Kingdom of God is not only spiritual — it is intensely practical. The church today must move beyond its traditional role if it is to truly fulfill its mission. It can no longer respond only to spiritual needs and speak only to people’s hearts. The church is called to be a force for change in the world, especially where the needs are greatest: the inner-city neighborhoods where crime, violence, and unemployment are the order of the day. Economic Empowerment Through the Church is a practical book that shows churches how to become a force for revitalization in their community by means of “economic empowerment”– by becoming involved in the everyday, economic life of their communities. It shows churches how to structure themselves, how to avoid tax problems, what businesses they can operate without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status, and step-by-step guidelines for implementing ancillary operations such as real estate, day care centers, drug abuse rehabilitation centers, housing projects, and others. The book includes checklists that help churches avoid missing crucial steps, as well as sample documents and forms.

Wonder O The Wind
$17.99Add to cartManufactured On Demand Title
This richly textured account of the life of a unique man of God has already thrilled readers by the thousands. Now Kregel Publications has the privelege of reissuing it as a companion volume to the same author’s spiritual biography, the popular God Is My Delight.
Phillip Keller- author, naturalist, agriculture specialist and wildlife photographer- recounts his adventurous life in this testimony of how God’s Spirit guides even the willful into His ways.
Born and raised in East Africa, Keller grew up with an intense love for the land, its wildlife and its people. For a time he was inclined to disbelief and cynicism by the way the world distorts and abuses God’s handiwork- and he struggled to exert his own will against society’s pressures, sometimes even against society’s pressures, sometimes even against the will of God.
Finally, the Wind of God’s Spirit has his wondrous way. The author tells the gripping story of God’s loving but abrupt intrusion into his self-centered life. He relives his trek back to Africa and eventually around the world in His service. A vibrant love for life, for God, and for His word, pulsates through this fascinating story of how one man’s will was brought into harmony with the will of God.

He recaptures the sixteenth-century political debates–where priests and theologians are both voices of dissent against the Spanish military conquest and fervent defenders of it. Rivera contrasts “discovery” and conquest and examines the tragic outcome: demographic collapse–from the islands Columbus first sighted to the Inca empire in Peru.

REASON TO BELIEVE
Do Christians have good answers for the really tough questions?Dr. R. C. Sproul believes they do. In this unique book he deals with the most common objections to the truths of the Christian faith:
– Has science disproved the existence of God?
– Does the Bible contradict itself?
– Why does God allow suffering?
– Is there only one way to God?
– Why do people need religion when life is going smoothly?
– Do Christians have a good answer to evil and suffering?
– How does the church explain all its hypocrites?REASON TO BELIEVE is no collection of “pat answers with a few proof texts.” Each of the questions is dealt with in a separate chapter, which includes a special capsule summary that gives the kernel of each argument. It is an excellent resource for those in visitation and calling programs and a “must” book for those who want to do more than scratch the surface of Christian truths.
