Answering The Call
$18.99Add to cartA learned, respected, accomplished man leaves a life of worldly success to serve Christ among “the least of these.” Albert Schweitzer was a Renaissance man who basked in the utmost respect of the world’s intelligentsia. Schweitzer had doctorates in philosophy, theology, and medicine. He was a well-respected author, a concert organist, and a world authority on Bach. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. But he left a life of acclaim to pursue the God-given call to treat all life as sacred, especially in those places on the fringe-in Africa.
In what is now Gabon, people saw him daily with his stethoscope on a distended belly and heard him nightly performing classical music on his piano. In a time when many people feel small and inconsequential, Schweitzer’s life is a testimony to the power of one person’s sacrifice, purpose, and commitment to treat all God’s creations as sacred.

Flight To Heaven (Reprinted)
$18.00Add to cartAt age nineteen, pilot Dale Black miraculously survived an airplane crash that killed the other two pilots on board. Hovering between life and death for three days, he had a breathtaking experience of heaven. Against all odds and with insurmountable injuries, Capt. Black recovered from his injuries and returned to fly airplanes as a professional pilot, airline pilot instructor, and jet flight examiner. For forty years he kept the story to himself at the urging of his grandfather to “live” his experience rather than talk about it. The flight to heaven changed Dale’s life, and now he allows it to be told in hopes of encouraging others with this wondrous experience.

North Face Of God
$17.99Add to cartThe North Face of God addresses those times of adversity when God seems to have abandoned us. Sometimes, when the cold winds of life blow and we cry out to God, he’s silent, and we wonder if he still cares about us–or ever cared. Drawing on the Psalms, Ken Gire climbs the mountainous terrain of God’s seeming indifference and helps us learn how to hold on to hope, despite our circumstances. He also calls us to become good “climbing partners” for other people who need help and encouragement along the way.
