Accion Social – (Spanish)
$12.99
Algunas personas ven el trabajo social de la iglesia local como el patito feo de nuestra fe; como algo que se debe hacer pero que nadie quiere hacerlo. Aun mas, hay quienes consideran que este tipo de ministerio no es necesario y que eltrabajo de ofrecer ayuda social le corresponde al gobierno y a otras agencias no gubernamentales pero nunca a la iglesia. Por estas razones, en este libro presento las bases y los fundamentos necesarios para responder a estas formas de pensar y tratar de cambiar la percepcion de que el objetivo de la iglesia es solamente espiritual, sin ninguna implicacion social. De la misma manera, espero que las sugerencias y metodos aqui presentados sean utiles para desarrollar ministerios de accion social que sirvan para aliviar las necesidades y sufrimientos de nuestro pueblo hispano y de la gente pobre y vulnerable que se encuentra en las comunidades a las cuales ministramos.
Some people see the social work of the local church as “the ugly duckling” of our faith; something that should be done but no one stepping forward to do it. Others look to our state and local governments handle this work. Written in Spanish, this book presents the basics to respond to these methods of thinking, and to attempts to change the perception that the objective of the church is only spiritual, without any social responsibility. Suggestions and methods are presented to equip social action teams to aid the needs and sufferings the Hispanic community and the vulnerable and poor of our communities.

Dirty Little Secret
$18.99This is the story of a young pastor’s journey to help those inside the world of porn. Pornography has reached epidemic proportions in our culture and in our churches. As a youth pastor in Southern California, Craig Gross noticed two recurring themes among those he cared for-a struggle with pornography and a lack of action from the church. Boldly and courageously, Craig decided to address the root of the problem by going directly to the source. As he spent time with those in the porn industry, he discovered these people weren’t the enemy-they just needed to meet Jesus. In The Dirty Little Secret Craig takes his readers on a journey through his ministry, XXXchurch.com, a website devoted to fight porn. As he meets people in the industry and those addicted to porn, Craig shows us a very real, human face-the face of our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, pastors, and friends. His experience created in him a passion to reach the hurting and abandoned in all dimensions of life-physical, emotional, and spiritual. Craig’s story may inspire the same thing in you.

Finally Free : Fighting For Purity With The Power Of Grace
$19.99If you have struggled personally against the powerful draw of pornography, or if you have ever tried to help someone fighting this battle, you know how hard it is to break free. But real freedom isn’t found by trying harder to change. Nor is it found in a particular method or program. Only Jesus Christ has the power to free people from the enslaving power of pornography.
In Finally Free, Dr. Heath Lambert, a leader in the biblical counseling movement, lays out eight gospel-centered strategies for overcoming the deceitful lure of pornography. Each chapter clearly demonstrates how the gospel applies to this particular battle and how Jesus can move readers from a life of struggle to a life of purity.
If you or someone you care about is fighting this battle, there is good news: No matter how intense or long-standing the struggle, Jesus Christ can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography.

Global Poverty : A Theological Guide
$44.99While a number of secular philosophers have written on global poverty, theologians have either steered clear entirely or simply mimicked the political analysis currently on offer. Christian authors have argued either for a free market solution to global poverty or for a radical reform of global capitalism as the best approach, but the theological underpinnings of such conclusions are noticeable by their absence.? ? Justin Thacker offers a new way forward. He suggests deeply theological answers to questions around the effect of capitalism on global poverty and whether aid is really a sustainable long term solution for the world’s poor. This book will challenge theologians, church leaders and congregations to consider much more seriously the huge implications of faith and theology on our attitude to those who live in extreme poverty.
