Alaska Twilight
$17.99Add to cart“Women of Faith novels are written by Christian authors who understand the hopes and struggles of women today. Each unique story features a lead female protagonist facing issues of faith, family, friends, and romance–and coming face-to-face with God’s never-ending grace.”From Women of Faith Fiction comes this compelling romantic suspense novel set in the lush wilderness of Alaska.Haley Mitchell jumps at the opportunity to document wildlife biologist Tank Lansing’s work with bears in Alaska. Born in Alaska to missionary parents but orphaned at an early age, she hopes this first trip “home” in 25 years will bring closure to her past. Unimpressed with stiff, unfriendly Tank, she falls in love with the sleepy village of Stalwart and the surrounding Wrangell wilderness. And she’s drawn into the area’s conflicts when a local doctor disappears and Tank’s bears are blamed. Then the doctor’s body is found-and unless grizzlies tote shotguns, a bear didn’t kill him. A series of break-ins, an attempted assault, and another death force Haley into uneasy alliance with Tank. Romance blooms unexpectedly as the mystery-and the danger-deepens. Before it’s over, Haley is viewing herself through a totally new lens.

Meaning Of Revelation
$28.00Add to cartThis reissue of a twentieth-century classic by H. Richard Niebuhr emphasizes an understanding of God’s revelation that takes seriously both the Bible itself and modern ideas about the nature of history. The book argues that God’s revelation is “confessional history.” The source and setting of basic Christian convictions lie within a historical framework. By his focus on revelation as personal experience, Niebuhr served as the igniting force for views of future theological movements that are still prevalent more than forty years after his death. First published in 1941, this masterful work is now enhanced with a new introduction by Douglas F. Ottati, which sets Niebuhr’s work in the context of his other writings and explores the significance of this book.

Print on Demand Title
Although sanctified by the Spirit of Christ, Christians must continually battle against indwelling sin. It is no surprise that as the Christian life is chiefly characterized by faith and repentance, the Christian’s struggles are largely with manifestations of doubt and fear. Unfortunately, these enemies of Christianity have wounded the character and weakened the comfort of many children of God.In Christ Our Rest, David Pitcairn exposes the sad prevalence and the destructive influence of doubts among Christians, and traces them to their various causes.He writes each of his sixteen chapters as letters addressed to a dear friend, mixing scriptural exposition with tender encouragement and exhortation. He presents the gospel, both in its doctrines and in its privileges, so that the faith of the doubtful may find strength and believers may have their attention continually directed to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Pitcairn masterfully highlights the fullness and freeness of Christ’s work as the only source of a satisfying rest for the soul.

2. The Kingdom And The Power – Expanding The Boundaries Of Spirit Baptism
3. Christ As The King And The Spirit As The Kingdom – Spirit Baptism In Trinitarian Perspective
4. Signs Of Grace In A Graceless World – The Spirit Baptized Church
5. Baptized In Love – The Spirit Baptized LifeAdditional Info
Baptized in the Spirit creatively discusses the most recent trends in Pentecostal and charismatic theology, especially as this newer theological thinking confronts ecumenical and contextual challenges. The volume makes a sincere attempt to integrate a concentration on the Holy Spirit with evangelical truth and the practical challenges of obedience to the gospel in various cultural and social contexts. More than simply a survey of Pentecostal and charismatic discussions of theology, it is suggestive of how a more robust foundation for the Spirit in life can renew Christian theology in the twenty-first century. Macchia begins by focusing on the significance of the Holy Spirit in reciprocal and mutual work with the Son in fulfilling the will of the Father. He shows how the pneumatological emphases in Pentecostal and charismatic theology can help to correct the tendency in Western Christianity to subordinate the Spirit to the Word. Beginning from this foundation, Macchia demonstrates how this mode of thinking affects all the other elements of the theological enterprise, such as hermeneutics, Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. Baptized in the Spirit engagingly demonstrates how contemporary trends in Pentecostal and charismatic thinking can aid the cause of ecumenism and global Christianity. -

Shattering Sound Of Amazing Grace
$12.95Add to cartDavid J. Schlafer, acclaimed preacher, teacher, and writer, weaves words and ideas like a Celtic braid. He places us in the company of some of the people who appear in the Gospel of John-Nicodemus, the woman at the well, the woman taken in adultery, Martha and Mary, the man born blind, the bride and groom at Cana-and examines them in two unusual sources of light:
*The classic line from C. S. Lewis: Every idea we form of God, God must, in mercy, shatter.
*John Newton’s hymn Amazing Grace .
Schlafer offers refreshment: He helps us refresh our ideas of God. He refreshes the meaning of the well-worn phrase Amazing Grace, giving it new life and urgency. He refreshes our grasp of John’s Gospel by centering on Jesus’ interpersonal encounters rather than on the famous discourses, which are too often considered only in the abstract and at the expense of the dramas John narrates. The Shattering Sound of Amazing Grace is an inspired meeting with Jesus and the people of John’s Gospel.

Written by members and guests of the Tyndale Fellowship Old Testament Study Group, it offers the insights of internationally recognized Old Testament scholars into the world of the Psalms. This volume will be a treasure to both students and scholars alike.

Crossing The Threshold Of Divine Revelation
$23.99Add to cartThe last few decades have seen a revolution in debates about the rationality of Christian belief. Among the array of current options for justifying religious belief, however, nearly every one assumes that a general theory of knowing and a minimal version of theism must be adopted before the rationality of Christian belief can be tackled.
In Crossing the Threshold of Divine Revelation William J. Abraham confronts both of these assumptions, arguing that epistemology must begin with its particular target of inquiry – in Abraham’s case the full-blooded “canonical theism” of the early, undivided Christian church. He argues, moreover, that special divine revelation forms a crucial threshold at the entrance to the epistemology of Christian belief. Sure to intrigue philosophers, theologians, and curious students, Abraham’s robust vision of Christian faith provides a creative solution to many of the current difficulties in philosophy and theology.

Faith Has Its Reasons
$50.00Add to cartEver since the apostle Paul addressed the Stoic and Epicurean philosophers in Athens, relating the Christian worldview to a non-Christian world has been a challenge. And despite Peter’s charge to be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15), most Christian laypeople have left apologetics-the defense of the faith-to the ecclesiastical pros.
Faith Has Its Reasons is a study of four different models of how apologetics should be done, an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, and a proposal for integrating the best insights of each. Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman have assembled a wealth of information about what Christians believe and how to present that faith to an unbelieving world. Remarkable both in its depth of content and ease of accessibility, Faith Has Its Reasons gives Christian laypeople the tools to address such critical questions as:
Why is belief in God rational despite the prevalence of evil in the world?
What facts support the church’s testimony that Jesus rose from the dead?
Can we be certain Christianity is true?
How can our faith in Christ be based on something more secure than our own understanding without descending into an irrational emotionalism? -

Shouts And Whispers
$27.99Add to cartFlannery O’Connor once wrote that “to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind you draw large and startling figures.” Some of the twenty-one well-known writers included in this book prefer to “shout,” as O’Connor did, while others offer what Doris Betts calls “whispering hope.”
Shouts and Whispers contains a fascinating array of reflections on topics surrounding the often-perilous intersection of writing and faith. The authors all agree that literature can help us to be more faithful, yet they approach the subject in ways as diverse as their biographies. Some, like Katherine Paterson and Frederick Buechner, propose models of how literature and belief can fruitfully intersect. Several authors offer insightful metaphors for the experience of doing faith-filled writing, while others speak of writing as finding hope in the midst of brokenness. Finally, in essays by Madeleine L’Engle, Thomas Lynch, and others, readers are encouraged to make the connection between writing and embodiment, translating words into actions.
While the essays, addresses, and interviews in Shouts and Whispers are by no means the final word, they will provoke rich and nuanced reflection on the dynamic relationship between faith and writing.

Longing To Pray
$17.99Add to cartThe Psalms are much more than ancient poetry. They represent, in a moving, kaleidoscopic way, a vast catalog of very real humans with an unquenchable need to relate to their Creator. In spite of experiencing a wide array of troubles, inconsistencies, and questions, these writers were indeed sants who left behind the greatest collection of prayers in the possession of our human race. Best-selling author J. Ellsworth Kalas invites readers to study with ancient experts in prayer – the people who wrote the Book of Psalms. Kalas contends that is was the quality of their friendship with God that fueled them to begin the prayerful conversations that today’s readers across the globe admire and hold dear. The psalmists do not, however, offer any secret precept or a hard set of rules for effective praying. Still, if their prayers are read carefully, their secret of “the Ultimate Friendship” can truly be discovered. Kalas helps readers start down the path of an incredible journey of stimulating, challenging conversation with God. Also includes a study guide by John D. Schroeder.

$68.99Add to cartUnity and Diversity in the New Testament is a thorough investigation into the canon of the New Testament, and Christianity’s origins. It assumes the reader is familiar with the basic question of who wrote the books, when, why etc and it moves on to look in detail at what were the various emphases in the gospel proclaimed by Jesus, Luke, Paul and John. It also examines primitive Christianity’s preaching and teaching, confessional formulae, oral traditions, organisation and worship, concepts of ministry and community, and ritual acts.
In the second half of the book, the author maps out the scope of the diversity he found in the fist half’s investigation. Here he identifies and traces the major currents within the stream of first and second generation Christianity which includes a study of Jewish Christianity, Hellenistic Christianity, Apocalyptic Christianity and Early Catholicism. The book concludes with a consideration of the repercussions of such findings, for how Christians understand the New Testament, and what it means to be Christian, today.
This new edition is further enhanced with the author’s consideration of these same themes, 25 years after he first wrote about them. The final chapter is the authors “critical refinement” of the ideas and issues that remain relevant and important for any realistic theology of canon to be considered today.

Metaphor Of God Incarnate (Revised)
$40.00Add to cartIn this groundbreaking work, John Hick refutes the traditional Christian understanding of Jesus of Nazareth. According to Hick, Jesus did not teach what was to become the orthodox understanding of him: that he was God incarnate who became human to die for the sins of the world. Further, the traditional dogma of Jesus’ two natures-human and divine-cannot be explained satisfactorily, and worse, it has been used to justify great human evils. Thus, the divine incarnation, he explains, is best understood metaphorically. Nevertheless, he concludes that Christians can still understand Jesus as Lord and the one who has made God real to us. This second edition includes new chapters on the Christologies of Anglican theologian John Macquarrie and Catholic theologian Roger Haight, SJ.

Power Of Prayer And Fasting
$19.99Add to cartDISCOVER THE POWER OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Many believe prayer combined with fasting is an archaic discipline practiced only by early believers. Yet together, prayer and fasting form a powerful tool, says Bible teacher Marilyn Hickey, for helping us to overcome evil, achieve wholeness, and experience revival. The benefits of prayer and fasting are both physical and spiritual. In fact, this combination is important to believers in every age because it:
Inspires spiritual cleansing through intense contact with the Lord
Makes us more sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading
Actually creates energy, tightens focus, and unifies groups of people
Promotes healing within the body
Breaks spiritual yokes of bondage
Revives our spirits to serve God.In this informative biblical guide, Marilyn Hickey provides not only the “whys” of fasting but the “hows”: how long to fast, ways to make fasting and prayer sessions deeply effective, and inspirational thoughts for meditation on those days. Most of all, she reminds us that this ancient tradition still brings believers closer to God-galvanizing spiritual growth while enhancing physical health.

In Defense Of The Gospel (Expanded)
$18.99Add to cartThe Lordship Salvation controversy continues to provoke debate across a broad spectrum of evangelical Christianity. For much of the last decade advocates of Lordship Salvation have dominated the forum. Few resources have been available to those who are alarmed over the spread of the Lordship interpretation of the gospel. A defense of the gospel has been sorely needed. This book is that defense! Lou Martuneac has dealt extensively with this subject since 1988. In this volume he answers many questions that comprise the debate from a balanced biblical perspective. Key Bible passages and major doctrines such as faith, repentance, and belief are studied in depth. Related issues such as Calvinism, carnality, discipleship, and contending for the faith are given serious consideration. This book is well researched, well organized, well documented, and clearly presented. This volume will be a valuable study and reference tool for the pastor, layman, or college classroom.
