Undertakers Wife : A True Story Of Love Loss And Laughter In The Unlikelies
$18.99Add to cartDeona (“Dee”) Branch married into the funeral business when she wed Johnnie Oliver, a fourth-generation funeral director, in 1984. She knew that her husband did not belong just to her; this became clear as early as their first date, when Johnnie had to scoot out “for just a minute”-and he came back with a corpse.
After Johnnie died suddenly in 2007, Dee went back to school and earned her mortuary science degree so that she could carry on his work. Barred re-entry into the family business by a jealous brother-in-law, Dee found herself fully credentialed, armed with nearly 30 years of funeral experience-and utterly jobless. None of the “white” funeral homes would have her, for fear of alienating the venerable H.D. Oliver funeral clan. Thus it was that-despite having an iPhone full of well-connected business leaders, political luminaries, garden club mavens, and countless other very rich, very white, and very certain-to-perish friends– Dee finally decided to cross the racial divide in perhaps, the most segregated industry in America. She accepted an internship at Riddick’s, a funeral home staffed entirely by, and for, black people.
Part memoir, part how-to book, The Undertakers Widow might also be described as The Blind Side-in reverse. Dee’s insights on the common ground of grief, survival, and the ever-present faithfulness of God (to all of us, regardless of our race, religious upbringing, or socio-economic background) will help readers prepare for one of life’s only certainties-and do it with wisdom, grace, and a healthy dose of joy.

Buscando A Ala Encontrando A J – (Spanish)
$16.99Add to cartEn Buscando a Ala, encontrando a Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi, quien fuera devoto musulman, describe su dramatico peregrinar del Islam al cristianismo, y con el, todas las amistades, investigaciones, suenos y visiones que fue encontrando por el camino. Muchos occidentales estan confundidos acerca del Islam, les tienen algo de temor a los musulmanes, o sencillamente no estan informados acerca de la relacion que existe entre la fe islamica y la cristiana. A su vez, a muchos musulmanes, una serie de barreras culturales, intelectuales y teologicas les impiden comprender, o incluso escuchar correctamente, el evangelio de Jesucristo. A lo largo de su historia, Qureshi nos presenta una apologetica compasiva, pero poderosa a favor del cristianismo sobre el Islam, enfatizando las relaciones y el amor. Los apendices aportados por eruditos y expertos populares les dan mas informacion a los musulmanes para que la analicen, y a los cristianos para que la consulten en sus discusiones espirituales con sus amigos musulmanes. Fascinante como relato y util como recurso apologetico, Buscando a Ala, encontrando a Jesus, les presenta a los lectores una poderosa historia sobre el choque entre el Islam y el cristianismo dentro del corazon de un hombre, y sobre la paz que termino hallando en Jesus.

Transcending Mysteries : Who Is God And What Does He Want From Us
$19.99Add to cart“We fell in love with Jesus. Then we had to decide what to do with God.”
In Transcending Mysteries: Who Is God, and What Does He Want from Us? Andrew Greer and Ginny Owens take readers on a journey to answer the question: is the God of the Old Testament the same God we relate to and worship today?
As the most definitive written revelation of who God is, Scripture has always been vital to the stories of the Christian faith. The Old Testament has proved especially tough for those who have been persuaded by the gracious gospel of Jesus but also desire to surrender to a God they don’t fully comprehend. We adore the Son of God, but what about God the Father?
Using Old Testament stories Andrew and Ginny help Christ-followers reconcile a New Testament Redeemer with an Old Testament God and understand what God really wants from His people. They dialog back and forth as they share their own stories of struggle and surrender. Their comments are separated by speaker identifiers that are used throughout.
Features include:
*Old Testament stories that are completed in Jesus’ message
*Dialog between Andrew Greer and Ginny Owens
*Music lyrics from Andrew and Ginny that illustrate biblical truths
*Thought-provoking questions for reflection or study -
7 Men : And The Secret Of Their Greatness
$19.99Add to cartIn Seven Men, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas presents seven exquisitely crafted short portraits of widely known-but not well understood-Christian men, each of whom uniquely showcases a commitment to live by certain virtues in the truth of the gospel. Written in a beautiful and engaging style, Seven Men addresses what it means (or should mean) to be a man today, at a time when media and popular culture present images of masculinity that are not the picture presented in Scripture and historic civil life. What does it take to be a true exemplar as a father, brother, husband, leader, coach, counselor, change agent, and wise man? What does it mean to stand for honesty, courage, and charity, especially at times when the culture and the world run counter to those values? Each of the seven biographies represents the life of a man who experienced the struggles and challenges to be strong in the face of forces and circumstances that would have destroyed the resolve of lesser men.
Each of the seven men profiled-George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, John Paul II, and Charles Colson-call the reader to a more elevated walk and lifestyle, one that embodies the gospel in the world around us. -
Divided : When The Head And Heart Dont Agree
$22.99Add to cartThe longest distance in the universe is between the head and heart. For Christ-followers, it is the chasm between what we say we believe in our minds and what we truly believe in our hearts: a split between our statements about God and our experience of Him. This divide is everywhere around us, causing untold devastation. It is found in the double lives of believers and in the hypocrisy of church leaders, but mainly we see it in ourselves. It is the default position of every human heart.
In Divided: When the Head and Heart Don’t Agree, Bill Delvaux exposes this divide and offers strategies to tackle it. The actual journey to cross the divide is sketched out, an epic journey that will take us into our deepest fear and shame and on into the wonder of God’s presence. For becoming undivided is not just another task. It’s the pathway into the very heart of the Father.
Features include:
*Strategies for closing the divide between head and heart
*Specific prayers for each stage of the spiritual journey
*Thought-provoking questions for spiritual conversation or reflection -

Hi Mom Did You Miss Me 2
$15.99Add to cartNovember 6, 1952. This morning I woke up in the arms of the only girl I have truly loved. If today is the first day of the rest of my life, it is getting off to a great start, isn’t it? Roush chronicled his life through letters to his mother; a mother he had not seen since he was five years old. As a young boy, Joseph, along with his sister and brother, was abruptly sent to a Montana orphanage, never to see his mother again. However, with hope in his heart, he wrote to her as if she was only across the country and shared all his struggles and joys. Follow Joseph as he leaves the Army and starts a new stage of his life-marriage. You’ll be encouraged and inspired by the life journey of one man who overcame painful trials with an attitude of joy and gratitude. His motto is: Life is good. God is great. He says, “While I’ve had many misfortunes and difficulties, God has always been faithful to take care of me and bless me beyond what I could have ever hoped for.”

Hi Mom Did You Miss Me 1
$14.99Add to cartJoseph Roush was nearly six years of age when he found that he would be housed in The Montana State Children’s home along with four hundred other youngsters. What could he do? What would you do in this situation? He dedicated himself to the task of locating his mother and putting his family back together. He would somehow record everything that would happen to him to share with his mother when they were reunited once again. He knew this could be a long and difficult journey, but he had no idea just how long and difficult it would be. Joseph’s journal should provide some insight into the influence good folks can have over those who face unfortunate events in their lives. Perhaps his experiences both good and bad might give hope to those without hope and direction to the lost.

Youll Get Through This
$19.99Add to cartYou’ll get through this.
It won’t be painless.
It won’t be quick.
But God will use this mess for good.
Don’t be foolish or naive.
But don’t despair either.
With God’s help, you’ll get through this.
You fear you won’t make it through. We all do. We fear that the depression will never lift, the yelling will never stop, the pain will never leave. In the pits, surrounded by steep walls and aching reminders, we wonder: Will this gray sky ever brighten? This load ever lighten?
In You’ll Get Through This, pastor and New York Times best-selling author, Max Lucado offers sweet assurance. “Deliverance is to the Bible what jazz music is to Mardi Gras: bold, brassy, and everywhere.” Max reminds readers God doesn’t promise that getting through trials will be quick or painless. It wasn’t for Joseph–tossed in a pit by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, forgotten and dismissed–but his Old Testament story is in the Bible for this reason: to teach us to trust God to trump evil.
With the compassion of a pastor, the heart of a storyteller, and the joy of one who has seen what God can do, Max explores the story of Joseph and the truth of Genesis 50:20. What Satan intends for evil, God redeems for good.

Desaparicion De La Gracia – (Spanish)
$17.99Add to cartPor que la iglesia provoca sentimientos tan negativos?. Philip Yancey ha estado haciendo esa pregunta toda su vida como periodista. Su pregunta es mas relevante ahora que nunca: en un periodo de veinte anos comenzando desde mitad de los noventa, la investigacion muestra que las opiniones favorables hacia el cristianismo se han desplomado de manera drastica; y las opiniones de los evangelicos han caido incluso mas profundamente. Yancey examina lo que pudo haber contribuido a la hostilidad hacia los evangelicos. Ofrece esclarecedoras formas de como la fe puede expresarse de maneras que desarmen incluso a los criticos mas cinicos y examina que son las Buenas Nuevas y lo que vale la pena preservar en una cultura que cree que ha rechazado la fe cristiana.

More Than His God Card
$14.99Add to cartMany readers of the Bible assume that when Jesus did a miracle it was, fundamentally, to prove that He was God-Jesus was pulling out His “God Card.” What is startling is that Jesus never made the case that this was the primary purpose of His miracles.
What if Jesus was intending to reveal something different, something more, something beyond merely proving His identity? Seeing as Jesus’ miracles were such a significant part of His ministry, if we miss what His miracles do reveal, we may be missing out on great insights into the One who loves us and came to rescue us.
Like the restoration of a great Old Master’s painting, Brian leads his readers to a fresh vision of what is conveyed in the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles. Uncovering what is there, in the text, we see the miracles in a reinvigorated, vibrant way. You will never read about the miracles in the same way . . . and you will catch a renewed and compelling glimpse of Jesus.

And He Will Lift You Up

Faced with these setbacks, Zanina turned to the Lord, and He lifted her up when her own strength failed. Zanina raised Danielle, who today is a vibrant young woman, and an honor student with a bachelor of science in special education.

What Happens When You Say Yes Lord
$24.99Add to cartWhat does it mean to say “Yes to God”? Why should we say “Yes to God”? Solomon was known at the wisest man to ever live. In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon went through many challenges without God and concluded it was vanity or worthless. In the last two verse, Solomon draws his final conclusion; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” In the foreword of this book, Dr. Oliver J. Haney writes, “God has many requirements of all of us. This tells us that certainly we are God’s own and God’s world cannot exist without us. It also tells us that God’s world and all of its programs need us to cooperate with God in order that they might be properly fulfilled, that is both to God, our creator and unto us.” God indeed requires a response from us of “Yes”! From his very first yes in a little church in Tifton, Georgia, Bishop Carlis Moody Sr. has lived his life saying, “Yes, here I am,” to the Lord’s call. What Happens once you say yes, follows nearly every yes. As God’s messenger, opening the journal to his personal experiences through this book, “What Happens When You Say Yes, , the author shows readers the blessings in obedience; in doing whatever it is God calls you to. His story demonstrates… The benefits of saying yes; The struggles of saying yes; The blessings of saying yes; The favor of saying yes; The assurance of saying yes The author also gives a glimpse into the consequences of not saying yes to God. After reading What Happens When You Say, “Yes”, we believe you will be inspired and find courage to say yes to God every time.

Burdened To Tell
$11.99Add to cartSharon Allen, a long-time public school administrator, was diagnosed with an extremely rare and lethal form of cancer. Having determined that God’s will was in opposition to treatment, she began writing this manuscript, at what she believed to be the bidding of the Holy Spirit. As she detailed her decision to refuse cancer treatment, what began to unfold was an account of a miraculous thread through her life. As a result, her theological foundations have evolved. She was “burdened to tell” many painful and embarrassing events revealed in these pages. She believes her obedience to place these events in print to glorify His name is one reason God has allowed her to live. It was not immediate, but it did evolve, whereby Sharon could thank the Lord for her cancer. Without that diagnosis, the reflections that took place while writing this manuscript detailing her sometimes troubled and often rebellious life would not have provided the blessings that have followed as a result. She was “Burdened to Tell” her whole story.

Broken And Blessed
$18.99Add to cartA little nod to those of us who are still feeling slightly half-baked: those with struggling families, cracked relationships, and a world that’s showing a little wear around the seams. When God wants to create the remarkable, He chooses to work with the less-than-perfect. Genesis is a book of beginnings. It is deeply concerned with the origins of things-of the universe, of humankind, of relationships, of sin, of civilization, of families, and of one special family created and chosen by God to be the instrument through which He would bless the world. That family is our family, yours and mine. Like all good family stories, it starts with not just a something or somewhere, but a someone. Part memoir, part biblical inspiration story,
Broken and Blessed is about how change begins when one person decides to believe God’s promises and how that makes a change in a family, like ripples on water.

Spacious Heart : Room For Spiritual Awakening
$16.99Add to cartWhy do people, including Christians, feel empty, estranged and cynical?
Many of us have tired of the pat answers that the church and religion have provided about our questions about faith and meaning in life. We know there’s more-and we stand on the cusp of spiritual awakening, longing to reshape our connection with God.
In the tradition of Ronald Rolheiser’s The Holy Longing, Don Clymer and Sharon Clymer Landis (brother and sister, both spiritual directors and retreat leaders) take modern spirituality and turn it on its head to flesh out a Christian spiritualty of emptying oneself. How can I know God more fully? What does it mean to be a true servant walking closely with God: brutally honest with oneself, and true to Christ? Through riveting stories and text grounded in scripture, the book speaks to the deep cynicism of soul and despair that grip so many in this age.
Anyone wanting to become more loving, in touch with feelings, friends and family will find hope and direction in this easy-to-read book on the spiritual journey. We are all hungry for a full-flavored life, yet we ignore our deepest soul and quiet our cravings with more of everything. How does one embrace a spiritually simple life-gracious, accepting and fulfilling?

Never Ever Give Up
$19.99Add to cartIt started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the ‘Joy Factory’ (originally their garage) making JoyJars—packages filled with toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon thousands of JoyJars being distributed across the United States and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have received JoyJars, and they continue shipping each week to kids in over 200 children’s hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses. Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer.

Up From Slavery
$21.99Add to cartImagine growing up the next youngest of nine children in midst of poverty and a society that is against you. Imagine experiencing racism and prejudice first hand, from childhood on. Now imagine overcoming monumental odds based on color and education to become the first popularly elected mayor of African American heritage in the New England area. Thirman L. Milner has lived these experiences and more. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Milner’s ancestry dates back to the days of slavery in Connecticut and to the Native American Wongunk Tribe. After facing discrimination and censorship first hand while growing up, he became a civil rights and community activist, demonstrating and marching with the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and many others. Following three successful terms as Hartford’s mayor, Milner pursued several other influential endeavors in both the private and public sectors, including a term as State Senator. His career has culminated in numerous awards, citations and tributes including the NAACP’s Roy Wilkins’ Distinguished Service Award and the Jewish Tree of Life Award. In 1989, the citizens of Hartford recognized Milner’s years of selfless commitment to their communities by renaming one of their schools the Thirman L. Milner Elementary School. Until then, the Hartford Board of Education had never named a school after a living person. Why should you read Thirman L. Milner’s autobiography? His early years of hardship and frustration will challenge you. His years of courage and determination will inspire you. And his latter years of accolades will show you that all things really do work for your good, as long as you don’t give up. At the end of the book you will reflect on your life’s dreams and goals and how Milner’s family was able to rise “Up from Slavery.”

C S Lewis And Mere Christianity
$17.99Add to cartMere Christianity is one of the best books of Christian apologetics ever written. Arguably, no book other than the Bible itself has had as much influence for the cause of the gospel over the past 60 years. The story of how that message came to be created, during the rigors of World War II in England, is fascinating in and of itself. But it also addresses a very important question: How do we present the gospel effectively to a culture that has Christian foundations but has become largely secularized and ignorant of biblical truth?
C.S. Lewis and Mere Christianity develops the circumstances of Lewis’s life and the inner workings of the BBC. It also goes into greater detail about life in the middle of war against Nazi Germany, and Lewis’s series of broadcasts that extended into 1944.

Balance : A Story Of Faith Family And Life On The Line
$19.99Add to cartNik Wallenda shares how the support of his family and his faith in Jesus Christ keep him balanced as a death-defying stunt performer.
Nik Wallenda, “King of the High Wire,” doesn’t know fear. As a seventh generation of the legendary Wallenda family, he grew up performing, entertaining, and pushing the boundaries of gravity and balance.
When Nik was four years old, he watched a video from 1978 of his great grandfather, Karl Wallenda, walking between the towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in Puerto Rico, stumbling, and falling to his death because of faulty rigging. When Nik heard his father quote his great-grandfather-“Life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting”-the words resonated deep within his soul and he vowed to be a hero like Karl Wallenda.
Balance is the theme of Nik’s life: between his work and family, his faith in God and artistry, his body and soul. It resonates from him when performing and when no one is looking. When walking across Niagara Falls, he prayed aloud the entire time, and to keep his lust for glory and fame in check, Nik returned to the site of his performance the next day and spent three hours cleaning up trash left by the crowd.
Nik Wallenda is an entertainer who wants to not only thrill hearts, but to change hearts for Christ. Christ is the balance pole that keeps him from falling.

Day I Died
$14.99Add to cartFreddy Vest was on the back of a horse, competing in a calf-roping event in front of a crowd when he suddenly collapsed due to a heart attack. He was dead before he hit the ground.
One moment he was sitting on his horse. The next moment he was somewhere else-somewhere beyond description. He had moved on. Without travel, transport, angelic assistance, or the passage of time-he was with Jesus, where he discovered firsthand that heaven is a real place and God is a real person and that death is not the end but the beginning of true life.
In The Day I Died, Vest touches on the transformation from death to heaven and some of the benefits of finding oneself in that place, including:
*The unforgettable awareness of God’s presence
*The sense of His immeasurable love
*The freedom from the constraints of time
*The ease of communication with the Lord
*The peace and security that attend His presence
*The understanding that prayers are instantly heard by God. -

Simplified Life : A Contemporary Hermits Experience Of Solitude And Silence
$32.00Add to cartToday, as increasing numbers of people try to make sense of their lives in the face of unexpected or unlooked for change, this direct and compelling memoir by someone who has voluntarily embraced a life of radical simplicity and solitude is a real message for our times.
What makes a young, Cambridge educated woman first join a religious order and then, if that were not demanding enough, seek a hermit vocation, literally on the edge of the world with only a simple hut as protection against Atlantic winds and storms? Here the author tells her story.
For more than forty years Sr Verena lived a solitary life at the tip of the Lleyn Peninsula, looking out across the sea to Bardsey, Wales’ island of saints, and has only recently – with increasing age – moved nearer human habitation in the parish where R S Thomas was priest. For her, this narrow straitened place became a mirror of the whole of creation and the material poverty of her life became a means to ‘having nothing yet possessing all things’ in the words of St Paul.
Over the decades, countless people have beaten a path to her door seeking spiritual counsel and direction for their own busy lives and her account speaks directly to those who may be facing an enforced simplicity leading them into something profoundly positive and life giving.

Faith Hope Love And Deployment
$14.99Add to cartJust as Heather Gray and her deployed husband realized, many military couples need more than their own imaginations to keep their marriages flourishing during deployments. This is their answer to that dilemma.
During her husband David’s last deployment to Afghanistan, Heather and he realized the need for a devotional that would not only draw them closer to the Lord, but also to each other while separated. They envisioned a combination of scripture memorization, stories of hope and struggles, a revitalization of the lost art of letter writing, and practical ideas for keeping connected during deployment. Not finding such a book, they began writing Faith, Hope, Love, & Deployment. Sadly, three months after beginning the project, David was killed in action.
”To answer the question of why I’m willing to lay my life on the line for my country. . . .” So began the letter Heather received from her husband on the day of his funeral. The letter was an assignment from Faith, Hope, Love, & Deployment. She knew then the value of the devotional they had been writing for military couples.
At first Heather didn’t think she could finish it without his input and support. But in the months that followed, she realized that we actually learn and grow the most through our pain and trials. She finished the devotional with the hope it would be as much a blessing for other military couples as it was for her and David.
