Will Of God As A Way Of Life (Revised)
$19.99We’ve all heard that God has a plan for our lives, but what does that mean in practical terms_when we’re faced with important life decisions, like who to marry, what job to take, where to send our children to school, or what church to join? Sometimes, God’s perfect will seems difficult to find, confusing to follow, easy to miss. We may even wonder if we’ve made past choices that have thrown God’s plan for our lives off track. Sittser’s book explores important questions like: How free are we if God has a perfect plan for our lives? Does suffering and trouble mean we are off track? How exactly does God speak? Discussing these and other questions, Jerry Sittser offers a biblically based approach that readers will find truly liberating. No matter what decisions you’ve already made, he points out that it is still possible to live out God’s perfect will for your life_even if you think you’ve married the wrong person, chosen the wrong career, or landed yourself in some kind of serious trouble. This new edition includes study questions designed for individual and group use that will be helpful to anyone faced with decisions large and small.

Gods Judgement : Regarding Controversial Issues
$21.23Fulfilled prophecy PROVES that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. This book discloses what the Lord’s Supper should really look like. It exposes the “gospel of the sacraments” as a false gospel. It debunks water baptism as a means of salvation. It exposes the “gospel of good works” as a way to Hell, not Heaven. It debunks Evolution in a single page. Alcoholics Anonymous-is this support group in conflict with the Word of God? Can a Christian drink an alcoholic beverage publicly? Absolutely! Does the Church have the right to demand 10% of your income? Why are Pro-Life and Pro-Capital Punishment views very much compatible? Women pastors-is this Biblical? Multi-Culturalism and Diversity: Are they good for America? Are five billion people really under God’s wrath and condemnation? Is having sex before marriage morally acceptable? What about homosexuality? Will Christ come BEFORE or AFTER Antichrist?

Church Secrets : Reform Restoration Revival For The 21st Century
$20.61Why all the competing Christian Denominations? Where’s the unity in the Body of Christ? Why are there so many opinions on Scripture? Why do the Catholics do that? Why do the Protestants do that? The “Church” Secrets answers these nagging questions and many more by examining “Church” traditions compared to God’s Word. The root of the confusion begins with the word “Church” itself. The prideful secrets of men are exposed to identify the gradual drift Christianity has taken away from God’s Word. This book offers an interactive, in-depth study of God’s Word that is geared toward both the young and old in Christ. Traditions run deep and are powerful. Questioning one’s traditions can expose one’s pride; humility, however, is found in Christ dying on the Cross for us. With that realized, our own pride should mean nothing. If you desire a deeper understanding of God’s plans for His Body, and want to live by His Spirit in truth, this is the book for you.

On My Honor
$14.98On the first day of his Senate confirmation hearings, John Ashcroft raised his right hand and vowed, “I swear to unhold the laws of the United States of America, so help me God.”
People who knew him intimately knew they could count on this.
And so will others as they read On My Honor, a book that reveals Ashcroft’s personal beliefs on racism, abortion, capital punishment, our judicial system, his faith in God, and more.
These beliefs were not designed to answer his critics in the Senate. They are beliefs he has held for years, written when he still expected to serve a second term in the Senate.
Here is an opportunity to judge this extraordinary man from his own words and deeds. As Ashcroft says, “The verdict of history is inconsequential; the verdict of eternity is what counts.”

Life As A Vapor
$16.0031 meditations from the founder of Desiring God that will connect you to a fresh understanding of God and renew your faith.
“You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).
Living knowing that your life is a vapor is different than just living. Things here are passing away. You’ve got to hold on to what will stand. Savor what matters. This collection of thirty-one articles is full of that heart-longing after Christ that distinguishes Piper’s preaching ministry. You will feel as though you have stumbled into a garden as you enter these pages. The Scripture cuts, Christ is exalted in God, and we worship Him.
Life Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It.
You will exist forever. You and God are both in the universe to stay-either as friends on His terms, or enemies on yours-which it will be is proven in this life. And this life is a vapor. Two seconds, and we will be gone.
In these thirty-one meditations, John Piper will connect you to a fresh understanding of God and a renewed relationship with Him. You’ll find your faith stirred to make every day count for Christ when you consider life as a vapor.
Story Behind the Book
Time is precious. We are fragile. Life is short. Eternity is long. Every minute counts. Oh, to be a faithful steward of the breath God has given me. Three texts resound in my ears: “Redeem the time” (Ephesians 5:16 ); “It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy” (1 Corinthians 4:2); “His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10 ).
Surely God means for our minutes on earth to count for something significant. Paul said, “In the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain” (Philippians 2:16). In the same way, I have good hope from the Lord that my “labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58 ).

Prophetic Evangelism : When God Speaks To Those Who Dont Know Him
$24.99Authentic Publishers Title
In this compelling book, Mark Stibbe argues that God wants to use Christians to speak prophetically into the lives of unbelievers, waking them up to the fact that Jesus is alive and he knows their every thought, word and action.
There are many biblical examples of God’s people using prophecy in their witness to unbelievers. Jesus used prophecy in His ministry to seekers. After Pentecost, God gave the gift of prophecy to believers as one resource among many in their witness to the world. Furthermore, Christians today receive prophecies for those who don’t know Christ, often with immediate and life-changing effects. This book contains many such testimonies.

Wild Gospel : Bringing Truth To Life
$15.99A prophetic challenge to the Western church. The Christian faith is always subversive to the dominant world view. Jesus overturned every assumption which stopped people experiencing the living reality of God – the heart of truth. Sadly, the Western world has reduced “truth” to the merely rational, and then discarded it as inadequate. In Africa, and other parts of the world where God’s truth has never been straitjacketed in this way, the church is characterised by a joy now absent in the West. Western culture has limited what we can believe and receive. Can we: Burst free from this restrictive secular framework? Learn not only to know truth, but to feel it, and live it? Live our faith in such a way that it becomes real to those around us? Alison Morgan shows that Jesus lived free from the culturally imposed norms which restrict our understanding of truth. Examining church history, prophecy past and present, the state of our culture and of the church today, and drawing on personal experience and the experience of others, Alison blends analysis and imagination, history and poetry in this prophetic challenge to Western Christians.

Each of the book’s fifteen chapters consists of an essay that explores and illuminates one of the creed’s articles of faith, followed by a scintillating sermon that models how that article can be preached as good news today.

Practicing Congregation : Imagining A New Old Church
$41.42Diana Butler Bass’ groundbreaking project to explore encouraging signs of vitality among mainline Protestant churches is now gaining the momentum of a movement. The author’s cover story in Sojourners magazine offers a compelling overview of what characterizes these healthy, vital, and inspiring congregations. The Practicing Congregation is a central text on the road to envisioning a new way of being a church. From Nomads to Pilgrims, its follow-up companion book, contains reflections on practices by the pastors of some of the vibrant congregations that were studied in the writing of The Practicing Congregation.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The conventional wisdom about mainline Protestantism maintains that it is a dying tradition, irrelevant to a postmodern society, unresponsive to change, and increasingly disconnected from its core faith tenets. In her provocative new book, historian and researcher Diana Butler Bass argues that there are signs that mainline Protestant churches are indeed changing, finding a new vitality intentionally grounded in Christian practices and laying the groundwork for a new type of congregation.
The Practicing Congregation tracks these changes by looking at the overall history of American congregations, noting the cultural trends that have sparked change, and providing evidence of how mainline churches are reappropriating traditional Christian practices. The signs of life that Butler Bass identifies lead the reader beyond the crumbling “liberal vs. conservative” dualities to a more nuanced and fluid understanding of the shape of contemporary ecclesiology and faithfulness. In so doing, she helps readers understand tradition in new ways and creates an alternative path through the culture wars that today arrest the energies of most denominations.
Invigorated by stories from Bass’s own experience, The Practicing Congregation provides a hopeful and exciting vision of “the once and future church” that Alban founder Loren Mead first named over 10 years ago. The imaginative “retraditioning” the author identifies and celebrates will guide pastors and other leaders on this “pilgrimage of creating church,” and convincingly counter the naysayers that long ago gave up on the viability of the mainline church.

Spirit And Resistance
$36.66Writing from a Native American perspective, theologian George Tinker probes American Indian culture, its vast religious and cultural legacy, and its ambiguous relationship to the tradition–historic Christianity–that colonized and converted it. After five hundred years of conquest and social destruction, he says, any useful reflection must come to terms with the political state of Indian affairs and the political hopes and visions for recovering the health and well-being of Indian communities. Does Christian theology have a positive role to play? Tinker’s work offers an overview of contemporary native American culture and its perilous state. Critical of recent liberal and New Age co-opting of Native spiritual practices, Tinker also offers a critical corrective to liberation theology. He shows how Native insights into the Sacred Other and sacred space helpfully reconfigure traditional ideas of God, Jesus’ notion of the reign of God, and our relation to the earth. From this basis he offers novel proposals about cultural survival and identity, sustainability, and the endangered health of Native Americans.

Listening To Love
$16.99One of our greatest desires is to know we are loved by our Creator. Yet the depth of our apprehension is often equally strong: If I listen, we wonder, what will God say? If I open myself up to blessings, what will God require in return? As we trace this line of thinking, the God of all goodness becomes, in our minds, the God of our worst fears. Embrace a love that’s worth the risk. God is far greater than our most expectant dreams. While he does often ask everything of us, he actually wants everything for us. He doesn’t want blind loyalty or bored religious compliance; he longs for nothing less than our entire passionate self – something most us of have yet to glimpse. God’s desire is that people lean in, listen, and wrestle with him so that they can respond to him without fear. Can this God be trusted? Will the journey be easy? Not a chance. But once you learn to listen to love, you’ll find that there’s only one way you can adore this unmanageable, wild, and unruly God: with your whole heart.

Santeria : The Beliefs And Rituals Of A Growing Religion In America
$26.99This book by Miguel De La Torre offers a fascinating guide to the history, beliefs, rituals, and culture of Santeria – a religious tradition that, despite persecution, suppression, and its own secretive nature, has close to a million adherents in the United States alone.
Santeria is a religion with Afro-Cuban roots, rising out of the cultural clash between the Yoruba people of West Africa and the Spanish Catholics who brought them to the Americas as slaves. As a faith of the marginalized and persecuted, it gave oppressed men and women strength and the will to survive. With the exile of thousands of Cubans in the wake of Castro’s revolution in 1959, Santeria came to the United States, where it is gradually coming to be recognized as a legitimate faith tradition.
Apart from vague suspicions that Santeria’s rituals include animal sacrifice and notions that it is a “syncretistic” form of Catholicism, most people in America’s cultural and religious mainstream know very little about this rich faith tradition – in fact, many have never heard of it at all. De La Torre, who was reared in Santeria, sets out in this book to provide a basic understanding of its inner workings. He clearly explains the particular worldview, myths, rituals, and practices of Santeria, and he discusses what role the religion typically plays in the life of its practitioners as well as the cultural influence it continues to exert in Latin American communities today.
In offering a balanced, informed survey of Santeria from his unique “insider-outsider” perspective, De La Torre also provides insight into how Christianity and Santeria can enter into dialogue – a dialogue that will challenge Christians to consider what this emerging faith tradition can teach them about their own. Enhanced with illustrations, tables, and a glossary, De La Torre’s Santeria sheds light on a religion all too often shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding.

More Than I Could Ever Ask tugs at the heartstrings of women and men. Lori’s story is one of forgiveness-finding forgiveness from God, learning to forgive the men who hurt her, and most of all, discovering inner peace. Her story also shows the power of love and faithfulness. After she was single and celibate for nearly nine years, Lori met and fell in love with a man she had known only by reputation-Jim Bakker. Today Lori and Jim-two broken lives brought together by God as one-have been restored and are busy helping restore others to spiritual and emotional wholeness.

Hidden Lives Of Congregations
$42.85Faced with crisis, lack of direction, or just plain “stuckness,” many congregations and their leaders are content to deal only with surface issues and symptoms-only to discover that the same problems keep recurring, often in different, and more serious, ways. In The Hidden Lives of Congregations, Christian educator and consultant Israel Galindo takes leaders below the surface of congregational life to provide a comprehensive, holistic look at the corporate nature of church relationships and the invisible dynamics at play.
Informed by family systems theory and grounded in a wide-ranging ecclesiological understanding, Galindo unpacks clearly the factors of congregational lifespan, size, spirituality, and identity and shows how these work together to form the congregation’s hidden life. He provides useful tools for diagnosing and understanding how one’s congregation fits into the various categories he names and suggests what leadership skills are necessary to get beyond the impasse of surface issues and help the congregation achieve its mission.
The Hidden Lives of Congregations provides one of the most far-reaching looks into the invisible nature of faith communities written in recent years. For seminaries and divinity schools, it provides a standard text for getting a solid start in congregational practices; for experienced pastors, it provides support for renewing ministry; for lay leaders and committees, it offers insight to deepening mutual ministry. Israel Galindo has written an indispensable manual that leaders will return to repeatedly for new wisdom and guidance on the unseen mechanisms that drive congregational life.

Becoming Barnabas : The Ministry Of Encouragement
$40.00Western culture has made a cult of success, and the church has accepted the larger culture’s definition, focusing on success as growth in membership and budget, rather growth in faithfulness as disciples of Jesus. When we do not measure up, we become discouraged, disillusioned, and perhaps even envious.
Paul Moots offers a welcome antidote: a vision for the ministry of encouragement. Based on his study of the book of Acts, Moots has identified five incidents from the ministry of Barnabas, an easily overlooked character, that provide a starting point to explore encouragement and how it can work in a congregation. Moots then examines five components of this ministry: partnership, hospitality, courage, reconciliation, and authenticity.
Moots details numerous examples to show how the ministry of encouragement offers a workable, effective pattern for church leadership. “I am convinced,” he writes, “that accepting Barnabas as my model has changed my ministry for the better and that Barnabas’s example can benefit any pastor and congregation who take his lessons seriously.”
Barnabas and his ministry of encouragement offer us a focus for the vital, messy, and exhilarating work required of us as faith communities. Foreword by Robert Reber
“At last! Here is a leadership book that provides practical help for congregations of every size and setting and pastors with a variety of gifts. Drawing from his own experience as a pastor, Moots shares a model of faithful ministry that is within the reach of every pastor, layperson, and congregation.”-Rueben P. Job
“In an age when so many pastors and leaders are discouraged, no work of the Spirit is more needed or more welcome than encouragement. Moots’s book moves beyond diagnosis and actually shows readers how to ‘become Barnabas’ in ministries of partnership, hospitality, courage, and reconciliation.”-Donna Duensing
Paul Moots has served as pastor in a variety of settings in his 22 years of ministry: associate pastor, campus ministry, pastor of an urban congregation, and his current position in the village church of First United Methodist in Mount Sterling, Ohio.

When Better Isnt Enough
$40.00Many sociologists and a growing number of church scholars have noted that we live in a time of transition-from the modern era to the postmodern. Whenever a shift of this magnitude occurs, it leaves all of life, including the church, in flux. We instinctively strive to stabilize the situation by re-establishing what has worked in the past. Increasingly, however, congregations are finding that the same old things done harder or better don’t seem to make a difference.
Author Jill Hudson argues, “We must identify new criteria for success, and perhaps even for faithfulness, and hold ourselves accountable to them.” Approaching the postmodern era as a tremendous opportunity, Hudson identifies 12 characteristics by which we can measure effective ministry for the early 21st century.
Based on those 12 criteria, Hudson has created evaluation tools, “an early measuring stick” to help congregations evaluate their work in this new era. Not everything of the past is ineffective and best discarded, she says, nor will everything we try in the future be successful. But by faithfully listening for God’s guidance and carefully evaluating progress using Hudson’s tools, looking at the ministry of the whole people of God as well as that of the professional staff, congregations can improve their ministry, help members and staff grow in effectiveness, deepen a sense of partnership, and add new richness to the dialogue about the congregation’s future.
Jill Hudson makes us face the hard reality that the world has changed, but the church hasn’t. This gap can create a problem when assessing the effectiveness of church leadership. Practical and easy to read and understand, this book will prove an effective new tool in assisting pastors to lead today.-Mike Regele
Our kicking and screaming aside, the postmodern church beckons, and Jill Hudson provides guidance and information to equip us for this enormous ministry challenge.-The Rev. Christine Shiber

My Life And My Death
$21.95“My greatest teacher has been my cancer,” says the author in his story of faith as he faces death. But the author never goes too far in the direction of becoming “touchy-feely” with his illness. In fact, he refers to his cancer as being of the devil, yet he never dwells too long in this application either. There is humor but never too much. There is some “preaching” about people with grudges against God but never too much. Instead he tells us, step by step, how he learned of his cancer, how he learned that his cancer was worse than originally thought, how he came to bond with his doctor, how he came to accept the stages of disintegration of his body. The author’s main work here is to find ways to bring us unbearable tidings about sickness and dying in ways that, with God, are bearable.

For All The Saints
$16.95“We have been drifting into a muddle and a mess, putting together bits and pieces of traditions, ideas and practices in the hope that they will make sense. They don’t. There may be times when a typical Anglican fudge is a pleasant, chewy sort of thing, but this isn’t one of them. It’s time to think and speak clearly and act decisively.”
With these robust words Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham, throws down a challenge to current liturgy and practice surrounding All Saints’ and All Souls’ Days, and sets out to clarify our thinking about what happens to people after they die. Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory, what it means to pray for the dead, what (and who) are the saints, are all addressed in this invigorating and rigorously argued book.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Deliverance : What Did Jesus And His Disciples Do
$13.73Unless we live perfect, sinless lives, we are all in need of some form of deliverance from the evil one.Whether we have been willfully sinning or pleading ignorance of the law, our disobedience gives Satan and his fallen angels a foothold in our lives.

Satan and his fallen angels will not leave our lives until commanded to do so.

No Mans Concubine
$20.61For every man who respects and honors womanhood, far too many others treat women with less than dignity. Much dignity is lost by women who endure abuse at the hands of ruthless and non-caring men. They may spend weeks, months, and even years trapped in relationships that leave them scarred for life. Women are being led into relationships that rob them of their innocence. They are victims of men who act like predators.Many women felt they were too wise to be seduced. Others failed to heed obvious warning signs. The Bible cautions that we are all subject to temptation. Only a fool will stand convinced that Satan can be outsmarted by our own devices. Beverly Allen writes a compelling case for women to stand in the holiness that God intended. Certainly, the poignant tale of a well-meaning young Christian woman is an example of how the best intentions can be betrayed. “The choice for 21st century women is vital to joy in this life and the life to come. No Man’s Concubine is a message for this generation. Parents and caring adults should share this book with every single woman they love. No one who reads this book will come away without being edified.” -Elder James P. Murray

Beyond The Passion
$40.00For most Christian believers, what is truly remarkable and important about Jesus is not his life, but his resurrection from the dead. They may believe that Jesus’ death is significant not as the end of Jesus’ life, but as the first half of the saving event that comprises the Christian gospel: the death and resurrection of Jesus. For Christians, this great divine cosmic event, around which all of human history pivots, is what saves us from our sins. Apart from this, the death of Jesus would simply be the meaningless end to an interesting but insignificant life. In this lively and provocative work, Patterson reconstructs early Christian assessments of Jesus’ significance and also questions basic assumptions about modern interpretations of Jesus’ death. He emphasizes the importance of Jesus’ life in relation to his death and resurrection. And he challenges individualistic notions of how Jesus’ death relates to Christian ethics.

Boundary Leaders : Leadership Skills For People Of Faith
$38.33A major challenge for religious communities today lies in harnessing the commitment and energy of religious people to address larger societal issues. Key to such efforts are people who are willing to live and learn “at the boundaries” where secular meets religious, public meets private, and subcultures meet each other. “A way of life on the boundaries, lived in community and faith, finds a broad menu of possibilities,” says Gunderson.
Writing for clergy and lay people and other community groups, Gunderson employs his expertise from years of leading and coordinating work at the Carter Center and elsewhere to improve the quality of life in local communities. He discusses the five important traits leaders must cultivate, centered on knowledge, commitment, integrity, relationship, and the future.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Who Runs The Church
$24.99“Many Protestants, individually and denominationally, are divided by differences regarding the form of church government. While these differences are not necessarily as divisive as theological and doctrinal issues, they are significant to churches and church leaders and affect the way Christians do God’s work. This book in the highly acclaimed Counterpoints series offers insights and contrasts into four kinds of church government: (1) episcopalianism (hierarchical, with priests, bishops, and archbishops), (2) presbyterianism (a representative form at multiple levels-church, classis/presbytery, synod/general assembly), (3) single-elder congregationalism (pastor-led local autonomy), and (4) plural-elder congregationalism (another form of local autonomy). Each form of government is explored through (1) description, (2) historical development, (3) hermeneutical assumptions, (4) biblical and theological foundations, (5) an understanding of the nature, number, and relationship of church officers, (6) the practical implications. The contributors are Peter Toon of the Anglican Church (episcopalianism), L. Roy Taylor of the Presbyterian Church in America (presbyterianism), Paige Patterson of the Southern Baptist Convention (single-elder congregationalism), and Samuel E. Waldron of the Reformed Baptist Church (plural-elder congregationalism).” EDITOR: Cowan, Steven B.

Repentance 1 : The Doctrine Of God And The Knowledge Of Salvation
$34.98This work is written with a law enforcement officer’s investigative mindset and from the perspective of a prisoner. I discovered through a survey of Christian bookstores that no books were exclusively on or about repentance, but most only touched on the topic. The only author who had anything to say about repentance beyond a mere mention was Charles G. Finney in Finney’s Systematic Theology. This 600-page work transformed my thinking and influenced my investigation. This book discusses spiritual leadership without bashing any spiritual leader. It points out carnality without castigating any particular ministry or denomination. Hundreds of illustrations will familiarize the reader with revelations about repentance and carnality. These illustrations, like parables, contain revolutionary truths that are true to Scripture, reason, and life, so that Repentance: The Doctrine of God may become one harmonious revelation! Warning: As you read this book, you will encounter deep-seated carnality residing within the blackened depths of your soul, and it will not want to be exposed! But take heart-Almighty God will accompany you on this journey for the complete regeneration of your soul.

Satan Unmasked : The Truth Behind The Lie
$18.81Who is Satan, really? Far too many Christians have a distorted image of the devil. Contrary to popular belief, he is not a powerful spiritual being! He is a defeated foe; Jesus has stripped him of all power and authority. Satan is NOT out problem; it is ignorance. What we don’t know WILL hurt us. When we know the truth, the truth will set us free. The Book of Isaiah teaches that a time will come when we will look on Satan in utter astonishment, and we will say, “Is this the one who made the nations tremble?”

You Only : A Popular Commentary And Study Guide On The Prophecy Of Amos
$19.36How would you react if an uninvited minister came to your congregation and preached an inflammatory message, telling you that your worship and religious practices are blemished and defective? Centuries ago, the prophet Amos stepped across the border of Judah to proclaim words of warning to the northern kingdom of Israel. He called them to return to worship and practices that reflected a correct understanding of who God is and what He was coming to do in Jesus Christ. Amaziah, a high-profile priest of Bethel, was not amused, and he advised Amos to go back to his home and native land. But God had other plans! With a gripping and amazingly contemporary message, the Lord speaks to our hearts as well. As a popular commentary, You Only conveys how God breaks down all forms of self-styled worship so that His children would lean on the saving work of Christ alone.
