Secret Scars : One Womans Story Of Overcoming Self Harm
$24.99From five years old, Abbie didn’t know who she was supposed to be. To deal with her lack of identity she turned to self-harm, using it as a form of control. Eventually she began the painstaking process of stopping her behavior and discovering who she was in Christ. In her stark autobiography Abigail Robson deals with the delicate and often misunderstood issues of self harm, bulimia and anorexia. Dispelling the often held belief that ‘cutting’ is purely attention seeking behaviour the book offers first hand insight into the torment which many people suffer in an attempt to cope with the reality of everyday day life. Robson is disarmingly honest at times as she takes the reader through her journey through self hatred, insecurity and desire for control to forgiveness, acceptance and ultimate freedom through Christ. Abigail offers hope without trivializing the immense struggles involved in breaking free from this desperate, lonely and destructive cycle.

Trinity As Revealed In The Old Testament
$43.73Knowing God and His attributes, how He saves and answers prayer is foundational to all truth and eternal life. Section one deals with proper attitudes we bring to the Old Testament text, knowing it is God’s self-revelation Section two points out passages where two Persons manifest divine attributes or are called God, Jehovah or Lord: and Who is the Angel of the Lord. Section three explains the texts where three Persons are called God, Jehovah or Creator. Here we see the lie of the Da Vinci Code as hundreds of years B.C. Jesus is called God. God’s self-revelation in the Old Testament is proved by hundreds of fulfilled prophecies we enumerate. The appendices deal with: the eternal personality of the Spirit; How to pray with Trinitarian Resources; Biblical words and phrases twisted by sectarians; the Trinity in the New Testament and Divine Names given equally to Jehovah and Jesus.

Faithful Preacher : Recapturing The Vision Of Three Pioneering African Amer
$18.99The cliche is that those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. But Thabiti Anyabwile contends that it is not the mistakes we must study; it is the people who have overcome them. So he presents three of the most influential African-American pastors in American history who can teach us what faithful ministry entails.
Lemuel Haynes (1753-1833) reminds pastors that eternity must shape our ministry. Daniel A. Payne (1811-1893) stresses the importance of character and preparation to faithful shepherding. And Francis J. Grimke (1850-1937) provides a vision for engaging the world with the gospel. While they are from the African-American tradition, they, like all true saints, belong to all Christians of every background and era. Distinctive for its use of rare and out-of-print messages, Anaybwile’s work is valuable as a reference as well as a devotional resource.

Selfish Genes And Christian Ethics
$44.99The evolutionary origins of human beings, and in particular the origins of human morality, have always attracted debate and speculation, not just in the academic community but in popular science and the wider general population as well. The arguments and explanations put forward over the years seem to thoroughly catch the popular imagination, but there is the danger that these explanations tend to step outside the bounds of scientific theory and become powerful popular myths instead. In Neil Messer’s Selfish Genes and Christian Ethics, the author is challenging this tendency. Instead he provides a Christian theological anthropology, which, among other things, aims to give Christians and the churches the confidence to engage with assumptions that evolutionary theory and religious beliefs are untenable.
This is a valuable resource for anyone engaged in the study of theology, providing the reader with the ability to consider both the theoretical and the practical questions raised by evolutionary discussions of ethics and morality.

Seeing Is Believing
$29.95Take a look around your workplace and try to find the following items: A statement of business objectives. I think it’s in that pile by the copy machine. A schedule of divisional goals. Everyone got that e-mail last year. Clear performance standards. They’re in the employee handbook. Team workflow documents. On the bulletin board, sticking out from under the first aid sign. Regular communication and motivation from management to employees. We have the quarterly meeting, and we send out memos. Stop. Is the information your employees need every day truly accessible? Just because it’s there doesn’t mean it’s present. When information is hard to find, outdated, nebulous, or incomplete, the effect is profound. If they can’t see it, it’s as good as nonexistent. The fact is, the visual elements in a workplace have a tremendous impact on execution, morale, and productivity. And it’s not just about information access. A visually dynamic workplace energizes employees, builds pride and ownership, and conveys the strength and currency of the organization. Design and graphics, art and color, sculpture and dimension — all have profound effects. Far from simply prettying up the office, your organization needs to create an environment of visual stimuli that convey goals and expectations, that engender a collaborative attitude, and most important, that cannot be ignored. This book represents a milestone in the science of workplace design. Whereas there are countless approaches for improving the comfort factor of work environments through color, lighting, furniture, and spatial flow, Seeing Is Believing is the first book to link visual elements directly to specific organizational objectives and individual tasks. The authors have created a step-by-step plan for creating and implementing a Visual Management program in any environment. You’ll learn how to create a dynamic VM system that: Replaces information overload with information sharing and dramatically improved workflow Seamlessly incorporates clear information exchange into an aesthetically pleasing and energizing workplace that will make people want to come to work Resonates with workers of every generation, whether they identify with Life magazine or MTV Enhances relationships not only among employees, but also with customers, business partners, investors, and the public Ensures uniform understanding of crucial requirements and desired outcomes Seeing Is Believing features many examples of how VM has improved perfor

Life You Were Born To Give
$12.99Everything we have we’ve been given. Even our very lives are a gift from God, given so we can live to give, not live to get. Yet it is our tendency in life to absorb, to take in without distribution resulting in a “souring” of all that is good and a separation from all that is intended. In The Life You Were Born to Give, David McKinley helps readers shift their focus from getting all they can out of life to giving their lives away, for Christ. Guiding them through the book of Romans, the transformational message includes: A Life Delivered (Romans 1-11) A Life Devoted (Romans 12: 1-2) A Life Distributed (Romans 12-16)

All That Is
$38.33During the last year of his life, Arthur Peacocke raced against time to formulate a final comprehensive overview of his “emergentist – naturalist – panentheist” perspective. A group of ten specialists in science-and-religion then composed commentaries and critiques of Peacocke’s new “Essay in Interpretation.” In the last weeks and months of his life, Peacocke drew together a final set of reflections on and replies to their chapters. Peacocke’s “Nunc Dimittis,” his final theological reflections in the days before his death, completes this volume.
Peacocke’s brief sketch of how God and nature and humanity interrelate will prove a nascent classic in the field and a touchstone for further reflection. Led by editor Philip Clayton, respondents include: Nancey Murphy, Ann Pederson, Philip Hefner, John Polkinghorne, Karl E. Peters, Donald M. Braxton, Robert John Russell, Keith Ward, Christopher C.

Images Of The Spirit (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99How do you picture the Holy Spirit?
Our imagination is likely to run to something like a vague fuzzy cloud. Or perhaps we think of an invisible, impersonal force. No wonder the Holy Spirit is often called “it.” While Christians affirm that the Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, we struggle to think of him as a person at all.
The Bible is clear that the Holy Spirit is a person. But how can human beings understand who he is? Scripture helps us by giving us strong word pictures of the Spirit as wind, fire, a counselor, anointing oil and more. As you go through these eight Bible studies by Dale and Sandy Larsen, you will find that your mental picture of the Spirit comes into focus. And even better, you will find that you can have a real relationship with the third person of the Trinity as you experience the power, comfort and gifts that flow out from the Spirit.

Changing The Face Of Hunger
$19.99If the Democratic party wants to learn how to court the evangelical community, they’d do well to learn from Tony Hall. As a Congressman, Tony Hall was reluctant to wear his faith on his sleeve. But if he was to be true to the faith he professed, he had to find a way to bring God into the political world in which he worked. He found the answer to this dilemma in one of the most awful places he’s ever visited-Ethiopia. He realized, as he watched a doctor combing the crowds of starving Africans looking for a half-dozen lives he could save, that he would travel among the hungry and bring their needs to the attention of Washington. He even went on a much-publicized 22-day fast to call for attention to these issues. Years later, and after traveling to more than 100 countries, Tony Hall has seen it all-desperation, honor, starvation, redemption, and hope. From the dark corners of a political prison in Romania to the barren landscape of famine-stricken Africa, people are suffering and we can help.

In our image-based culture, people need to visualize something to understand it. This has never been more true about our communication of the gospel. But sometimes our understanding of the gospel gets stuck in a rut, and all we know is a particular outline or one-size-fits-all formula. While we hold to only one gospel, the New Testament uses a wealth of dynamic, compelling images for explaining the good news of Jesus, each of which connects with different people at different points of need. Neil Livingstone provides a guided tour of biblical images of the gospel and shows how each offers fresh insight into God’s saving work. Walking through Scripture’s gallery of pictures of salvation from new life to deliverance, from justification to adoption, Livingstone invites us to deepen our understanding of the gospel. By letting the truth and power of each permeate our lives, we will be better able to articluate the life-changing gospel of Christ to a world that needs to taste–and see–that the Lord is good.

Way Of The Lord
$35.99This careful and profound new work is a collection of previously published essays examining the experience of Scripture in the way it informs a wholly Christian life. With a special focus on the commandments and the Psalms, there is also a generous section on what other parts of the Old Testament have to say to our observations of theology today. In the first section, Patrick Miller is compelling in his portrayal of the rich complexities of the Ten Commandments and convincing in his assertion that aspects of the Decalogue appear and are expanded throughout Scripture. His second section shifts to the Psalms, revealing them to be as much a book of theology as a book of poetry and song, pointing a way of faith and life. The final section expands to consider more wide-ranging topics in theology and anthropology, contemplating the character of God and the nature of the human.”Part of being human, Miller writes, is a slow building up of trust based on experiences of God’s earlier deliverances. . . . It is in insights such as these that Miller is at his best. Throughout the book Miller’s writing is logical and profound. A close but clear reading is possible because Miller walks a reader through to his conclusion. One may not agree with all the conclusions reached, but Miller arrives at them fairly and with both textual and scholarly support. He offers fellow scholars and students alike a wealth of insights based on a lifetime of study. His book provides an excellent tool; it is an up-to-date reference work, particularly on the commandments and the Psalms. It is sure to be cited widely by those writing journal articles. Miller’s work “always outstanding, always reasoned, always well-written ” leaves a reader grateful for the chance to be walked through the richness of topics in the biblical text by one who has so profoundly shaped biblical scholarship for decades.”

Lost Gospel Of Judas
$19.99With the discovery of the Gospel of Judas came an outpouring of hyperbolic language, both negative and positive. Alongside the overwhelming opinions of historians and scholars was the quiet bewilderment of people who simply weren’t sure what to think, confusion that wasn’t helped by vast media attention. In The Lost Gospel of Judas, Stanley Porter and Gordon Heath attempt to set the record straight. They begin with a look at the initial responses to the announcement of the gospel’s existence, then provide a brief history of Judas himself as seen in the New Testament and in church history, and of Gnostic philosophy. Further sections consider other recent textual finds and examine the discovery, content, and authenticity of the gospel. They also delve into the relationship this new gospel has with the New Testament canon and contemplate the “Lucky Winner” theory of canonical history. The Lost Gospel of Judas sifts through all the evidence, presenting the results with more than enough scholarship to be respected and enough clarity to be easily understood.

Book Of Enoch
$9.95R. H. Charles provides a definitive translation of one of the most noted apocalyptic works still in existence. Often described as the lost book of the Bible, The Book of Enoch seems to have been written in Palestine by several different authors in the first and second centuries B.C. For hundreds of years it was accepted by the early church fathers, but it was rejected by the council of Laodicea in A.D. 364. Today, it remains a written remnant of the Apocalypse — an ardent testament to hope and the triumph of good over evil in the dawning of a world to come. Rife with concepts of original sin, fallen angels, demonology, resurrection, and the last judgment, it is a vital document to the origins of Christianity.
The Book of Enoch is comprised of various monumental works: The Book of Enoch, The Parables, The Book of the Courses of the Heavenly Luminaries, The Dream Visions, The Concluding Section, and The Noah Fragments. Each work is independent, but all the works are bound by a common theme: the punishment of the wicked and the blessedness of the righteous. This edition, complete with analysis and notes, is an indispensable resource for the study and understanding of both the Old and New Testaments.

James Denney 1856-1917
$49.99James Denney is now best known for his The Death of Christ, considered a standard treatment of objective atonement understood in substitutionary terms. However there is a breadth and depth to Denney’s thought, a richness and passion in his theological work, an attractive integrity and spiritual immediacy in his writing that resists any reducing of his legacy to that of being an apologist for one aspect of Christian doctrine. This is the first major study of Denney to use the large corpus of Denney’s unpublished theological papers and sermons held in New College, Edinburgh. These, together with Denney’s published work, and wider biographical research, form the basis for this intellectual and contextual biography of one of Scotland’s most attractive and forceful theological personalities.

Transatlantic Revivalism : Popular Evangelicalism In Britain And America 17
$49.98Revivalism has always been an important strain in American Protestantism. At times it has been the dominant influence. Often perceived as a home-grown movement, revivalism actually originated in England and has thrived in both countries with the help of two centuries of intellectual cross-pollination. This book focuses on English and American evangelicals during the early and mid-nineteenth century. Examining, first, American revivalism in the crucial state of its development, from the 1790s to the 1840s – when evangelicals used their most aggressive conversion techniques – it goes on to show the significant effects these developments had on the English revival movement. The revival tradition ultimately became orthodoxy in America; in Britain, however, it failed ever to achieve real respectability. Transatlantic Revivalism examines this contrast. It shows how attitudes and institutions in Britain prevented the flowering of an American style revivalism; conversely, particular American conditions allowed Methodism, which in England exerted only limited influence on Protestantism, to become the largest and most thoroughly revivalistic of all Protestant denominations. Church historians have often under-emphasized or deliberately ignored evangelical life; its emotionalism, disorder, and impropriety were an embarrasment to them. More recent historical scholarship has been primarily interested in tracing the secular implications of revivalism. This study focuses on those major evangelical denominations, particularly the Methodists, which in both countries provided the primary expression of evangelicalism and which gave it its cutting edge.

Are You Ready For True Love
$15.61Discern between relational fits, misfits, and counterfeits. There are a lot more counterfeit men than money. About the only exercise some guys get is running out of money and after women. Brains are what a man looks for in a wife, after not using any in selecting one. If a man tells a woman she’s beautiful, she’ll overlook most of his other lies. Courtship is that period during which the female decides whether or not she can do any better. The trouble with marriage is not the institution. It’s the personnel. One reason why so many marriages are failing is that so many inexperienced people get into them. Avoid cupidity meeting stupidity. It is better to be single and happy than married and miserable. Most girls seem to marry men like their fathers. Maybe that’s the reason so many mothers cry at weddings. Romance often begins by a splashing waterfall and ends over a leaky sink.

Preaching The Parables Series 4 Cycle A
$18.68Richard Sheffield preaches and writes with clarity and conviction. He has a rare gift of interpreting parables so they are accessible to his audience while retaining their heavenly truth for our lives. He has a heart for God, and that comes through in this book.
Rev. David E. Gray
Former Acting Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Labor
Presbyterian Chaplain, American UniversityWhen Richard Sheffield sang “I Love to Tell the Story” as a child, he never dreamed that he would end up telling that age-old story for his life’s work. Yet “telling the story” is a vital form of communication for preachers and the most effective way to reach audiences with God’s powerful plan of salvation. People love to hear stories, sing about stories, and tell stories — but above all, they remember stories! Jesus knew this; indeed, he was a master storyteller himself. Jesus’ most powerful sermons — the parables — were simply earthly stories with heavenly meanings, using such common imagery as salt and light, sheep, a mustard seed, weeds, lamps with oil, and workers in a vineyard.
Preaching the Parables expands on 14 of Jesus’ parables appearing in Cycle A of the Revised Common Lectionary and brings them into a more modern setting. In Sheffield’s hands, the stories he loves to tell are as varied as familiar songs in the hymnal: he uses the children’s song “The Wise Man Built His House upon the Rock” as a springboard for a vivid portrayal of the difference between wise and foolish builders; “This Little Light of Mine” provides further insight into Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5; and the plaintive wail of “The Ninety and Nine” reminds us — just like Luke 15 — that if we were the only wandering sheep, our wonderful shepherd would seek for us until we were found.

Job Teaching Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$16.47“The patience of Job” generates an immediate image for most English readers, having been a standard phrase ever since James’s commendation of Job was translated into the King’s English (Jas 5:11). Even those who are not biblically literate have some knowledge of an ancient man who suffered through great afflictions.
Patience, however, is not what the biblical account of Job is about. Indeed, one who reads the entire book will learn that Job ran out of patience early on and filled the air with complaints and accusations toward the God who had left him lorn and lone. Job did show great endurance (a better translation of the word used in Jas 5:11), but he was not always patient. Most people find themselves, at some point, experiencing unexpected pain and sensing some kinship with Job. Like Job, we want to know why suffering comes our way, what we may have done to deserve it, and whether God is playing fair.
The book of Job recounts a dark and dangerous journey toward unseen insights that challenge both human assumptions and traditional theological beliefs. Those who dare to enter Job’s world may discover that their own world–or view of the world–has changed in surprising ways. In the end, however, those who stick with the ancient sufferer may discover spiritual depths they had not previously imagined.
In the Job Annual Bible Study, Tony Cartledge is primarily responsible for the introduction, the commentary sections, and any sermons or sermon outlines. Jan Rush contributed the teaching and worship planning suggestions and is wholly responsible for the youth Bible study section.
Each chapter in the Job Teaching Guide includes teaching options, a suggested worship outline for both a contemporary and traditional service, and approaches for leading discussions. The study examines biblical background, historical interpretation, as well as spiritual, ministerial, and theological themes. It also includes relevant lesson plans for children and youth.

$14.00The second book in an exciting and inspiring new series from national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley
They share a precious gift. . . .
Joining Rachel Jackson’s church youth group has been a lifesaver for Camille, Alexis, Jasmine, and Angel. The fabulous four share everything from juicy gossip to mentoring school kids. But their loyalty is put to the test when two of the girls get caught up in problems of their own — and may drag their girlfriends down with them.
Will they forget who their friends are?
Wealthy Alexis seems to have the perfect life — but no one can see her fear as her parents head for divorce. Meanwhile, Jasmine is tired of being the glue that holds her mother and siblings together, and she escapes by moving in with her father. Both girls are tempted to do something drastic to get the attention they crave, and both need to hear Rachel’s hard-won advice on why stealing will only get them more trouble. But when it comes to winning back Camille and Angel’s trust, Alexis and Jasmine will have to find the answers in their own hearts.

Leadership In The Salvation Army
$49.99The Salvation Army provides a case study of the way in which renewal movements in the church institutionalize. Their leadership roles, initially merely functional and based on the principle of “the priesthood of all believers,” begin to assume greater status. The Army continues to exhibit a tension between its theology, which supports equality of status, and its military structure, which works against equality, and both schools of thought flourish within its ranks.
