More Than Enough
$18.99A community grows as neighbor helps neighbor in this heartwarming story inspired by the Golden Ladder, a Jewish approach to charity intended to create a fair society.
Moses isn’t used to jingle-jangle in his pocket, so he’s reluctant to give money when Barefoot Benny clink-clanks his cup of change. But Mom encourages him to follow her example and help a neighbor. “Feels better to help than to need help,” she tells him, so drops a coin in Benny’s can.
Later that spring, Benny’s fortunes have improved. He’s cutting hair at the barber shop, where he gives a free trim to Big Jim, who’s down on his luck. Soon Big Jim becomes the building superintendent, and then he and Moses volunteer to babysit for Ms. Brown when she gets a last-minute job interview and can’t find childcare.
Throughout the year, each neighbor finds the opportunity to help another, and the community grows and deepens through mutual support. As it turns out, “Little enough is more than enough to share.”
Inspired by the twelfth-century Jewish scholar Maimonides’s concept of the Golden Ladder, this picture book models different stages of giving and provides ample opportunity for thoughtful discussions about charity, generosity, and economics while telling an appealing, accessible story. Back matter features an author’s note and more information about Maimonides and the Golden Ladder.

Get Off The X
$26.95Former CIA intelligence officer and popular author Michele Rigby Assad knows better than anyone what it means to venture into uncharted territory. Now, in her second book, she’s using her experience to help you embrace the often uncomfortable path to success. Get Off the X emboldens you to escape your comfort zone and realize your full potential!
In her first book, Breaking Cover, Michele introduced the concept “get off the x.” In CIA terms, this is how officers are trained to survive deadly situations: get out of the kill zone as fast as possible. While working in counterterrorism in the Middle East, every day brought a life-or-death situation for Michele. She faced countless obstacles and dangers and had to forge ahead despite fear and uncertainty–or risk death, literally.
After learning to “get off the x” and use determination and discomfort to fuel a thriving life, Michele calls upon you to do the same. With stories of her time in the CIA and the lives of those whom she encountered, as well as everyday people who found ways to get unstuck in their own lives, she encourages you to stop feeling stuck and take charge of your situation, much like an agent in the field would.
Get Off the X guides you to:
*Diagnose what’s holding you hostage in your ‘X’
*Learn from real-world examples how to escape your ‘X’
*Nurture a new mindset that thrives in the unknown
*Discover methods to help you overcome barriers
*And help others scared to leave their comfort zoneWhile it’s hard to leave the comfort zone, it’s even more dangerous to stay there. Every day we make the choice: Will we embrace challenge and hardship for a chance at something greater, or will we stay on the X and face the certain death of our dreams? With Get Off the X, Michele Rigby Assad equips you to make your escape.

El miedo es uno de los mayores obstaculos para tu exito, felicidad y realizacion, y es uno de los mas dificiles de combatir. Se arraiga profundamente en el subconsciente y oscurece tus pensamientos dominantes, matizando tus percepciones y, a su vez, tus acciones. Pero el miedo no tiene por que ser el autor de tu historia.

Don’t let fear stop you from achieving the personal and professional success you are destined to achieve. The time has come to master your fears and increase your resilience so you can regain control of your life and achieve your vision of success.
Fear is one of the biggest obstacles to your success, happiness and fulfillment, and it is one of the most difficult to combat. It takes root deep in the subconscious and obscures your dominant thoughts, coloring your perceptions and, in turn, your actions. But fear doesn’t have to be the author of your story. It is simply an emotion, which can be mastered and channeled so that it works for you, rather than against you.
This guide contains Napoleon Hill’s best advice for breaking free from the chains of fear, finding opportunity in temporary defeat, and living life with determination. You will learn how to:
*Develop the self-confidence, faith and willpower you need to overcome even the most difficult obstacle;
*Reduce your vulnerability to the negative influences

Turned On : A Creative’s Guide To Awakening Presence, Pleasure, And Possibi
$19.99The world is imbued with a life force, a thrumming relational energy of creativity. That life force is Eros, and connecting with the erotic opens up a world full of possibility, sensuality, and creativity.
For far too long we have relegated the erotic to the bedroom, when in reality it is a fundamental energy that helps us connect more deeply with ourselves, each other, the earth, and the creative potential within us. We also live in a world that equates our productivity with our worth, leaving us feeling overtaxed, exhausted, burned out, and completely disconnected from ourselves and others. In Turned On, artist and musician Brie Stoner redefines the erotic, stating that it is more than just human intimacy; it can be the antidote to feeling anxious, disconnected, and uninspired. By reframing Eros as the energy of life and creativity itself, Stoner invites us to reawaken presence, playfulness, and possibility as the gateways to transformation.
Just as physical relationships are contingent upon the right context, good communication, and embodied presence, Stoner offers a similar contextual shift and the tools needed for us to access creativity through the body and in the present moment. Fittingly, she explores how the erotic has been minimized and misunderstood in modern life. She then offers practical applications of how an erotically enlivened life is a creatively fulfilling one, in which our relationships, parenting, work, and creativity flourish. For those of us who yearn for life to be more inspired, adventurous, and sensual, Turned On is our guide to relighting the spark within us.

Walking Through Deconstruction
$18.00However you define it, deconstruction is impossible to deny.
“I’m deconstructing my faith.” As any pastor can tell you, hearing these words is simply a regular feature of ministry these days. How we respond to those who are deconstructing will reveal the kind of church-and the kinds of Christians-we really are.
Ian Harber knows the fear and grief of deconstruction firsthand. In Walking Through Deconstruction, he tells the story of his own process of deconstruction and reconstruction over more than ten years and explores what is actually happening, both culturally and spiritually, when someone deconstructs their faith.
Deconstruction doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it is catalyzed by a comfortable society, cultural Christianity, compromised churches, and the compounding anxieties of life. But the Christian faith has better to offer. Harber lays out a vision for the kind of faith environment that can foster genuine reconstruction through healthy relationships, robust doctrine, healthy institutions, a better theology of suffering, and the peace of God.
Walking Through Deconstruction:
*tells the author’s real life story of deconstruction and reconstruction
*provides a clear definition of deconstruction
*acknowledges the urgency of deconstruction while prioritizing patience and trust over fear
*describes common contributing factors and phases of deconstruction, and
*casts a vision for healthy communities that help people hold onto faith.We desperately need healthy models of ministry to those who are deconstructing. Whether you’re a pastor, parent, or friend of someone on this path, Walking Through Deconstruction offers hope for a renewed faith-stronger than it was before.

Last Romantic : C. S. Lewis, English Literature, And Modern Theology
$22.00Three Essays on C. S. Lewis and Romanticism
Many readers have heard C. S. Lewis’s logical arguments for the Christian faith. Yet throughout his wide-ranging study and writing, Lewis often began with experience, intuition, and religious feeling rather than dogmatic assertions. The most profound questions of Lewis’s own life, argues theologian and literary critic Jeffrey Barbeau, can be seen in his quest to understand the relationship between personal experience and the truth about the world around him.
In a series of three essays, Barbeau explores the influence of nineteenth-century Romanticism on the writings of C. S. Lewis. Barbeau demonstrates Lewis’s indebtedness to Romantic notions of imagination and subjectivity, opens new contexts for understanding ideas about memory and personal identity in his autobiographical writings, and explores beliefs about nature and Christian sacraments throughout his writings on Christian faith. This theological and literary investigation reveals Lewis as a profoundly modern thinker and illuminates his ongoing relevance to contemporary debates about theology and culture.
Drawing on extensive reading of the marginalia in the personal library of C. S. Lewis held by the Marion E. Wade Center, Barbeau offers a fresh understanding of the influence of modern theology and Romantic poetry, especially Wordsworth and Coleridge, on many of Lewis’s most beloved works. Essays and responses include:
*C. S. Lewis and the “Romantic Heresy,” with response from professor Sarah Borden,
*C. S. Lewis and the Anxiety of Memory, with response from professor Matthew Lundin, and
*C. S. Lewis and the Sacramental Imagination, with response from professor Keith L. Johnson.Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College’s Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Lectureship Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

Makers By Nature
$28.00An Artist’s Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy
Dear Tom,
Thanks for writing again-and for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period. I think of God as the Artist and all human artists as eternal apprentices. Consequently, all my thinking about God involves the centrality of beauty and the act of making. As I’ve said many times, we were made by a Maker to be makers. . . .
BruceIn a series of fictional letters, respected artist and educator Bruce Herman passes on wisdom to a younger generation. He explores a wide array of practical, philosophical, and theological issues, such as:
*What is art versus craft? What is good art?
*What is the calling of an artist? Of a Christian artist?
*What do you do when you’re stuck in your creative process?
*How should Christians relate to the contemporary art scene?
*What is beauty, and how is it relevant in our world?Full of personal stories and behind-the-scene looks at Herman’s own artistic process, Makers by Nature also features full-color artwork by Herman and several of his former students. Artists and art lovers will find insight, wonder, and encouragement to consider the Maker’s invitation to creativity, however it takes shape.

Hopeful Realism : Evangelical Natural Law And Democratic Politics
$26.00A Natural Law Framework for Evangelicals Today
During a time when political conversations are marked by deep polarization and difficult decision-making, what resources do evangelicals have to think critically and theologically about public life?
For political theorists Bryan T. McGraw, Jesse Covington, and Micah Watson, a crucial resource is to be found in natural law, a rich tradition of Christian political thought often neglected by evangelicals. Grounded in the hope and realism of the gospel, their evangelical natural law theory is deep in moral conviction yet oriented toward practical political decision-making. Relevant to all dimensions of political life, they show how an evangelical natural law framework can speak into debates about the economy, family life and marriage, violence and war, and religious freedom.
Hopeful Realism is a generous guide for evangelicals concerned with bringing their theological commitments to bear on their political judgments. A volume that brings together robust theory with practical cases, Covington, McGraw, and Watson show how evangelicals can participate as evangelicals in a pluralistic, often polarized, democracy.

Comfort In The Ashes
$26.00Navigating Trauma in the Church
It’s time for church leaders and believers to stop offering prettily packaged responses from a safe distance. It’s time for us to sit in the ashes with the hurting, our Sunday clothes covered in dirt and grime, our faces lined with tears. Trauma brings people to the ash heap, so that is where the church needs to go.
The church should serve as a refuge for people in pain. And yet, we often end up unintentionally causing more hurt to trauma survivors. Theological platitudes and positive thinking aren’t simply dismissive to those who suffer, but they inevitably retraumatize the wounded. Does the Bible have anything practical to offer for church leaders as they engage the pain in their congregations?
Biblical scholar Michelle Keener shows us that the book of Job provides embodied and practical answers for the church today. In this incredible tool for ministry leaders and trauma survivors alike, Keener offers:
*deep wisdom at the intersection of trauma theory and the book of Job for Christian communities
*reflection questions for ministry practitioners and those walking alongside those who have experienced trauma
*engagement with the idea of a shattered worldview and how to overcome the effects of that experience.
Comfort in the Ashes helps leaders navigate their own trauma and gives practical guidance for supporting others whose worlds are falling apart. God meets us in our ashes and our pain. It’s time for the church to do the same.

Walking With God Through The Valley
$28.00Recovering the Practice of Lament
The church desperately needs to recover the practice of lament. But what exactly are we asking for?
The call for lament echoes throughout the pages of Scripture. This ever-present genre shaped the lives of ancient communities, and it should shape the practices of churches today. And yet contemporary Christian communities often don’t know how to engage texts of lament in their contexts. In a world experiencing so much pain, a recovery of biblical lament is more necessary than ever.
In Walking with God Through the Valley, Old Testament scholar May Young offers a guide for readers to engage lament texts both in their church communities and in their personal lives. Drawing deeply from key passages in Scripture, including the Psalms, Habakkuk, and Lamentations, Young posits that true lament must come out of a deep understanding of the biblical text. Through practicing lament in our own lives, we can move through pain and suffering and experience God’s renewed hope.

How To Read The Psalms Second Edition
$22.00The Psalms have been well-loved and frequently used by Christians throughout history. For directness, intensity, and intimacy, they are unrivaled in all of Scripture. Somehow the psalmists seem to have anticipated our own awe, desires, and frustrations.
Yet the Psalms also challenge us when we look at them closely. Their poetry is unfamiliar in form. Many images used are foreign to us today. And the psalmists sometimes express troubling thoughts that seem hard to reconcile with other teachings of Scripture.
In this volume of the popular How to Read Series, Tremper Longman III gives us the kind of help we need to overcome the distance between the psalmists’ world and ours. He explains the various genres of psalms, the way they were used in Hebrew worship, their relationship to the rest of the Old Testament, and the characteristics of Hebrew poetry. Then he looks at how Christians can appropriate the message and insights of Psalms today.
Step-by-step suggestions for interpreting the psalms on our own are followed by exercises for further study and reflection, plus a helpful guide to commentaries on the Psalms. This second edition includes expanded content, updated sources, and a new appendix on the structure of the book of Psalms.

Grace And Social Ethics
$74.98Grace and Social Ethics demonstrates why the doctrine of grace has significant implications for social ethics and for Christian engagement with culture. The book reframes Christian social ethics by illuminating how grace shapes human identity and community.
Angela Carpenter integrates theology and social science to articulate a vision of human persons as constituted by gift rather than merit. This graced anthropology compellingly bridges theology and contemporary research on human dependence and mutuality. Carpenter insightfully applies this graced identity to pressing issues in social ethics such as criminal justice, labor practices, and gun violence.
Scholars and students of theological ethics as well as pastors seeking resources for moral formation will find illuminating perspectives in this integrative work, which situates social justice imperatives within God’s gracious purposes.

Reading John Through Johannine Lenses
$66.65Reading John through Johannine Lenses demonstrates that the model an interpreter chooses for examining the Gospel of John significantly impacts the resulting interpretation. The Fourth Evangelist uses key words in the prologue in order to guide the reader toward key moments in the gospel. Stan Harstine shows how four words– life, word, receive, and believe– converge at transition points in John 5, 12, and 17. Their close relationship is not random; rather, it guides the reader to recall what the Gospel has presented in the preceding section, providing a road map for understanding the narrative. By using interpretive models from both diachronic and synchronic methodologies, Harstine’s comparison of traditional historical methods with more recent narrative and rhetorical methods demonstrates the wide disparity of results from prior approaches, thus accentuating the importance of reading the Fourth Gospel through the lenses it provides its readers.

Burning House : Redeeming American Evangelicalism By Examining Its History,
$22.99Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and ’60s, Martin Luther King Jr.–increasingly concerned by America’s moral vision, admitted–“I’ve come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house.”
In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom–peace, justice, and wholeness–in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us.
Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration–the unity of believers of all ethnicities.
A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism–a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.

Christ Of The Indian Road Expanded Edition (Anniversary)
$22.99For those searching for truth and a map to help lead them down the path of The Way. For more than one hundred years, E. Stanley Jones has led the way in evangelism by contextualizing Christ in the existing culture, wherever that may be. In The Christ of the Indian Road, he recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture. Instead, he makes the case that we learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest. In his book Ordinary Man, Extraordinary Mission, Stephen Graham, a biographer of Jones, wrote: The Christ of the Indian Road was a frontal assault on the cultural prejudices of most European and American Christian missionaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Jones was one of the first Western Christians to realize that in Asia, Africa, and Latin America the Christian gospel was often betrayed by being enmeshed with the economic and political self-aggrandizement of Western nations. In so doing, Jones declared his moral and intellectual independence from Western political and religious imperialism.
Introduced by a foreword by Leonard Sweet, this expanded edition includes essays by church leaders reflecting on the impact of Jones’s revolutionary approach to discovering the Jesus already present in each culture and what those learnings mean for the church today. Contributors include: Theodosius Mar Thoma XXII Metropolitan; Rev. John J. Thatamanil; Very Rev. Abraham O. Kadavil, Corepiscopos (Kadavil Achen); Rev. Dr. Shivraj Mahendra; General Secretary Roland Fernandes (UM Board of Global Ministries); and Dr. Sathianathan Clarke.

Once Upon A Time Volume Two
$19.99“Stories have always been about us, a mirror in which we can see ourselves-our hopes and dreams, but also our greatest dilemmas.” In Once Upon a Time: A Collection of Short Stories for Those Trying to Find Their Way Home, Volume Two, retired clinical psychologist Samuel L. Blumenthal, Ph.D. once again illustrates gospel truths through story and the lens of God’s perfect love.
Sam Blumenthal came to faith in Christ in mid-life, after growing up in a Reform Jewish home in the South. His thirty years as a psychoanalytically-oriented psychologist gives him a unique perspective on the inner workings of the mind and heart. He says, “Since the dawn of man, stories have been pregnant with meaning, much of which has gone unnoticed. But if you are willing to slow down and listen more closely, stories will meet you in the very places you need them and guide you home where you will be healthy and whole.”
The award-winning author and fellow traveler presents stories to touch hearts and remind us of just how much God desires to be present in our lives. These stories offer us courage to look deeper within ourselves to learn why we think and feel as we do, why we struggle as we do, and what can truly help and redeem us and enable us to find our way home.

Beautiful War : Finding Hope In The Darkest Moments
$16.99After the birth of her son, Amanda found herself in the grip of a postpartum depression so deep she saw no way out. Dark, ugly thoughts held her mind captive, and she contemplated harming her baby and ending her own life.
She says, “For me, the darkness that postpartum depression held was all-consuming and terrifying. I would have done anything to escape it without thought or reason. It was an ugly, shameful place that kept me isolated and fearful-a place so brutal that I felt as though I would forever be stuck in a pit of hell with no way of escape.” But she said that in a moment of God’s mercy, “the dark veil that shielded reality was violently torn away, and the weight of what I almost did caused me to shatter.”
Amanda knew she needed help and was at last able to reach out. Help came in the form of her husband, her mother, a friend, a praying doctor, and the aid of medication. Most of all, hope began to slowly and gradually dissipate the fog of her depression and change her perspective after she released to Jesus all the shame, fears, depression, and guilt she felt.
This transparently told, brave personal story will resonate with anyone who suffers from depression, whether postpartum or not, or loves someone who does. A Beautiful War highlights the hope that comes from Jesus, the faith that casts out fear, and love that always wins.

Pursuing Moral Faithfulness
$34.99Christianity is in a state of moral crisis.
Even though people make moral decisions every day, many Christians lack both the ability to evaluate these decisions and a community of discipleship to help inspire a morally faithful life. Compared to the people around them, there is often no discernible difference in how Christians go about making moral choices.
As a biblical and practical theologian with three decades of pastoral experience, who has also spent years teaching ethics to undergraduates, Gary Tyra approaches the topic with the practical goal of facilitating moral formation and encouraging an “everyday” moral faithfulness. Tyra argues that Christians can have confidence in their Christ-centered, Spirit-enabled ability to discern and do the will of God in any moral situation. Moral faithfulness follows from a life of Christian discipleship.
In an age of moral apathy and theological confusion, Pursuing Moral Faithfulness is a breath of fresh air and a sign of hope for the future.

Renner Interpretive Version James And Jude
$35.99The Renner Interpretive Version (RIV)
of James and JudeIf you long to dive deep into your personal study of the Bible, but feel you lack the tools to study it like a seminary student or scholar, this book is for you!
What is the RIV? Simply, the Renner Interpretive Version of the New Testament is an expanded, interpretive version based on Rick Renner’s expoundings from the original language of the New Testament.
The RIV is not a word-for-word translation — it’s a conceptual interpretation that draws upon concepts in the Greek language and expresses them in a way that supplies a broader comprehension of Scripture.

James and Jude were Jesus’ half-brothers, younger sons of Joseph and Mary.

The first installment of the Renner Interpretive Version to be released, this “brothers” volume features:
*insight into the brothers’ first audiences and their circumstances.
*historical usage of the words the writers used to convey their timely messages.
*the relevance of their words for humanity today.
*all this in 133 verses of James and Jude and more than 1,200 footnotes!Without knowing the nuances of the original language, there are riches we can miss in the Twenty-First Century. Find the treasures contained in the words of the New Testament and let the RIV guide you into a fresh Bible-study adventure, starting with this installment!

Still Time To Care
$22.99Charting the path forward for our churches and ministries in providing care–not a cure–for our non-straight sisters and brothers who are living lives of costly obedience to Jesus.
At the start of the gay rights movement in 1969, evangelicalism’s leading voices cast a vision for gay people who turn to Jesus. It was C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham, Francis Schaeffer and John Stott who were among the most respected leaders within theologically orthodox Protestantism. We see with them a positive pastoral approach toward gay people, an approach that viewed homosexuality as a fallen condition experienced by some Christians who needed care more than cure.
With the birth and rise of the ex-gay movement, the focus shifted from care to cure. As a result, there are an estimated 700,000 people alive today who underwent conversion therapy in the United States alone. Many of these patients were treated by faith-based, testimony-driven parachurch ministries centered on the ex-gay script. Despite the best of intentions, the movement ended with very troubling results. Yet the ex-gay movement died not because it had the wrong sex ethic. It died because it was founded on a practice that diminished the beauty of the gospel.
Yet even after the closure of the ex-gay umbrella organization Exodus International in 2013, the ex-gay script continues to walk about as the undead among us, pressuring people like me to say, “I used to be gay, but I’m not gay anymore. Now I’m just same-sex attracted.”
For orthodox Christians, the way forward is to take a close look at our history. It is time again to focus with our Neo-Evangelical fathers on caring over attempting to cure.
With warmth and humor, as well as original research, Still Time to Care provides:
*Guidance for the gay person who hears the gospel and finds themselves smitten by the life-giving call of Jesus.
*Guidance for the church to repent of its homophobia and instead offer gospel-motivated love and compassion.

In Gods Good Image
$19.99Cultural identity matters–to us and to Jesus.
Culture is all around us. Nothing we think, do, or say exists outside of it. But the story of God is clear: We are all made in God’s good image, and God’s people are meant to be a diverse community. Looking to the example of Jesus, author J. W. Buck offers practical insights into how cultural identity fits into our walk as Christians. No matter where we come from and no matter how complex our cultural narratives, the Scriptures point to the One who embodied a particular identity–of a Jewish man in first-century Palestine–in order to shape our own.
?
Jesus teaches those formed by majority culture to humbly embrace their identity as they foster space for others. And he empowers those from minority cultures to resist pressure to assimilate in unhealthy ways and instead live into their God-given identity. God dignifies our culture and wants us to shape it to look more like Jesus. We are meant to be like Jesus in our home culture, in our heart language, and throughout our collective journey to understand how our diversity points us to a better expression of God’s good image.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Irrevocable : The Name Of God And The Unity Of The Christian Bible
$42.50The Tetragrammaton, the traditionally unspoken proper name of God, is the most holy of all God’s names in the Bible. Despite its sacredness, Christian theology has often neglected the significance of this divine name, an omission that has fostered Christianity’s supersessionist stance toward the Jewish people and created other problems for Christian theology as well.
In Irrevocable, author R. Kendall Soulen puts the Tetragrammaton back at the center of Christian theology to demonstrate the difference that God’s proper name makes for Christian faith, from the doctrine of the Trinity to the unity of the Christian Bible and Christianity’s relationship to Judaism and Islam.
In the end, Soulen reveals how something so holy and so unique can also be so important for all.

Naomi And Her Daughters
$16.99From master storyteller Walter Wangerin, Jr. comes this familiar biblical saga told in a fresh, transfixing way. Melding historical accuracy with imaginative detail, Wangerin uses the biblical books of Judges and Ruth to explore themes of love, faith, grief and community set against a backdrop of war and political instability.
The widow Naomi grieves the deaths of her two adult sons after the shocking murder of a beloved adopted daughter, while pondering her responsibilities toward her Moabite daughters-in-law. Ancient Israel is in chaos. When her daughter-in-law, Ruth, begs to return to Israel with Naomi, events are set in motion that will change the course of history.
In the tradition of Anita Diamant’s The Red Tent and Elissa Elliott’s Eve: A Novel of the First Woman, Wangerin imbues his tale with strong female characters and an earthy realism that gives the timeless Old Testament narrative so much power. You’ll find echoes of contemporary issues throughout: deceit, heartbreak, loss, war, and, of course, the power of love. Naomi’s combined strength and tenderness becomes the pivot upon which a nation turns; her decisions ultimately lead to the founding of the family lineage of Jesus Christ.
Breathtaking descriptions, shocking violence, and inspirational courage make this spellbinding novel by a beloved award-winning author a story you won’t soon forget. It’s the perfect novel for your book group, and a satisfying read for those who love thoughtful biblical fiction.

Forgotten Manifesto Of Jesus
$17.99Phil Moore tells us how a persecuted group of Iranian Christians radically ‘rediscovered’ Luke 10 as the ‘forgotten manifesto’ of Jesus.
Something remarkable is happening across the Middle East. A counter-cultural gospel movement is growing disciples of Jesus deep within the heartland of Islam.
Starting in Iran, a radical form of evangelism and discipleship, predominantly led by brand new believers, has begun to spread across Muslim majority nations. Author Phil Moore shares the first-hand stories of these courageous Middle Eastern Christians and compares them to the words of Jesus to his seventy-two disciples in Luke 10. The striking similarities between their experiences show how this spectacular move of God relies on the same instruction, and Spirit, as the first followers of Jesus.
And it does not stop there. Phil goes on to share how this gospel movement is now spreading across Europe and North America. If you long to see new believers coming to faith in the secular post-Christian West too, then let the testimonies in The Forgotten Manifesto of Jesus show you that with God all things are possible.

Sacred Storm : When God Speaks Through Radical Disruption
$22.95Christopher Michael Jones shares the parallel wisdom learned from the worlds of hip hop and church: the good news of “Can’t stop, won’t stop” preached by hip hop in the ashes of Reagan-era turbulence, and the good news of God’s faithfulness to teach resilience in the wake of radical disruption.
“I was pulled back to a time when black youth and young adults like Biggie and I expressed our creative genius through a cultural movement that arose out of the ashes of poverty: hip hop. To us, hip hop was the church. The MC was the preacher. The DJ was the worship host. The B-Boys, breakdancers, and pop-lockers were the liturgical dancers. The journalists and graffiti artists were the scribes. The concert arena was a sanctuary. The bodies who danced to rhythmic anthems of classics like “La Di Da Di,” “Oh, My God!, ” “I Know You Got Soul,” and “Fight the Power” were its members.”

Get Out Of Your Head Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide
$24.99Stop the spiral of toxic thoughts by learning how to become imitators of Christ.
Are your thoughts holding you captive? Jennie Allen–the visionary behind the million-strong IF: Gathering–knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, and she knows that from those thoughts, beliefs begin to form: “I’ll never be good enough.” “Other people have better lives than I do.” “God couldn’t really love me.”
We spiral down and down. Changing the way we think seems nearly impossible. And yet the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Philippians that conforming our minds to Christ is possible, and it’s the ultimate goal for every follower of Christ.
In Get Out of Your Head, a six-session video Bible study, Jennie gives us tools from the book of Philippians to transform our emotions, our outlooks, and even our circumstances, by taking control of our minds. We can find freedom from the downward spiral by:
*Taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ
*Shifting the focus of our minds from our circumstances to God
*Fighting toxic thoughts with weapons of humility, silence, and delight
*Escaping our comfort zones with weapons of connection, intentionality and gratitude
*Learning to forget what’s behind so we can move ahead
*Defeating anxiety with a mind like Christ’sOur enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.
The Get Out of Your Head Study Guide uses projects, stories, and Bible study in the book of Philippians to engage the mind and heart.

Final Days Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$15.99This Lent ponder the themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love. The Leader Guide contains discussion questions and session plans for a six-week study of The Final Days by Matt Rawle. It includes opening and closing prayers, optional activities, and session goals for each week and is designed to be used with the book and DVD. The four New Testament Gospels aren’t the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus’ triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren’t quite the same. Each Gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren’t a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather the reveal an abundant, diverse, and complementary picture of God’s work in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

France, 1942

How Far To The Promised Land
$18.00A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
For much of his life, Esau McCaulley was taught to see himself as an exception: someone who, through hard work, faith, and determination, overcame childhood poverty, anti-Black racism, and an absent father to earn a job as a university professor and a life in the middle class.
But that narrative was called into question one night, when McCaulley answered the phone and learned that his father–whose absence defined his upbringing–died in a car crash. McCaulley was being asked to deliver his father’s eulogy, to make sense of his complicated legacy in a country that only accepts Black men on the condition that they are exceptional, hardworking, perfect.
The resulting effort sent McCaulley back through his family history, seeking to understand the community that shaped him. In these pages, we meet his great-grandmother Sophia, a tenant farmer born with the gift of prophecy who scraped together a life in Jim Crow Alabama; his mother, Laurie, who raised four kids alone in an era when single Black mothers were demonized as “welfare queens”; and a cast of family, friends, and neighbors who won small victories in a world built to swallow Black lives. With profound honesty and compassion, he raises questions that implicate us all: What does each person’s struggle to build a life teach us about what we owe each other? About what it means to be human?
How Far to the Promised Land is a thrilling and tender epic about being Black in America. It’s a book that questions our too-simple narratives about poverty and upward mobility; a book in which the people normally written out of the American Dream are given voice.

Easter Lamb : Jesus, Passover, And God’s Amazing Plan To Rescue Us
$18.99In The Easter Lamb, the traditional Easter story takes on new significance as Jesus’s death and resurrection are explored through the events of Passover. Through child-friendly text and engaging illustrations that meaningfully connect these two important events, young readers will see how God has always cared for his children and that he had a plan for our salvation from the start.
On the night he was arrested, Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples during what we now call the Last Supper. Jesus knew he would soon have to die like the lambs who were sacrificed in place of the firstborn Israelites so that all of God’s children might live.
John Greco masterfully tells these two stories–Passover and Easter–in The Easter Lamb, weaving together their biblical symbolism and significance. You may have heard the Easter story before, but this unique take will deepen you and your child’s understanding of the holiday and explain how important the image of Christ as a lamb truly is.
The Easter Lamb is ideal for:
*Introducing children 4 and up to the Passover and Easter stories
*Sharing together as a family as a read-aloud or as part of a new Easter tradition
*Helping young children better understand the Bible and how God’s redemptive plan connects throughout Scripture
*Easter Sunday school lessons, family devotions, and gift giving

J Oswald Sanders
$27.99Three classics for every Christian’s library. Over 1 million copies sold!
The influence of J. Oswald Sanders is known far and wide across the globe. In this new edition, readers engage with Sanders most essential and influential work: Spiritual Leadership, Spiritual Maturity, and Spiritual Discipleship.
Spiritual Leadership is a proven classic, presenting the key principles of leadership in both the temporal and spiritual realms. Sanders illustrates his points with examples from Scripture and biographies of eminent men of God, such as Moses, Nehemiah, the apostle Paul, David Livingstone, Charles Spurgeon, and others. Featured topics include: the cost of leadership, the responsibility of leadership, the qualities and criteria of leadership, the art of reproducing leaders, and the one indispensable requirement of leadership.
Sanders holds that even natural leadership qualities are God-given, and their true effectiveness can only be reached when they are used to the glory of God. Let this classic be your guide for leadership and watch how God works through you to do great things for His glory.
Spiritual Maturity: Spiritual maturity is not a level of growth Christians achieve, but the passion to press on in Christ. In these chapters, J. Oswald Sanders explores the primary source of continual growth. In three parts, structured around the persons of the Trinity, Sanders explores matters like: how we should view God, why our weakness is God’s strength, what it means that Christ prays for us, how to live like an heir of the King, and the role of the Spirit in a Christian’s life. Spiritual Maturity provides clear direction for those desiring to grow strong spiritually.
Spiritual Discipleship: True disciples pursue their Master. They know that God is watching over their faith, but they also take Scripture’s command seriously: “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.” They take pains, by His power, to look more and more like Jesus.
This book will help you to be such a disciple. It examines Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow Him, helping you become the kind of Christian Jesus wants you to be–not one devised by man or even other Christians. You’ll learn conditions for discipleship, the tests that disciples endure, how disciples pray and grow, the posture and practices of a disciple, and more.

In Gods Good Image
$59.98Cultural identity matters–to us and to Jesus.
Culture is all around us. Nothing we think, do, or say exists outside of it. But the story of God is clear: We are all made in God’s good image, and God’s people are meant to be a diverse community. Looking to the example of Jesus, author J. W. Buck offers practical insights into how cultural identity fits into our walk as Christians. No matter where we come from and no matter how complex our cultural narratives, the Scriptures point to the One who embodied a particular identity–of a Jewish man in first-century Palestine–in order to shape our own.
?
Jesus teaches those formed by majority culture to humbly embrace their identity as they foster space for others. And he empowers those from minority cultures to resist pressure to assimilate in unhealthy ways and instead live into their God-given identity. God dignifies our culture and wants us to shape it to look more like Jesus. We are meant to be like Jesus in our home culture, in our heart language, and throughout our collective journey to understand how our diversity points us to a better expression of God’s good image.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Chicken Runs At Midnight
$19.99Discover the nearly unbelievable true story of how a goofy catchphrase spoken by a coach’s dying daughter inspired the 1992 Pittsburgh Pirates in game seven of the National League Championship Series and later became a sign from heaven to a grieving family at the end of game seven of the 1997 World Series.
As a Major League Baseball coach, Rich Donnelly was dedicated, hardworking, and successful. But as a husband and father, he was distant, absent, and a failure. He’d let baseball take over his life, and as a result, his family suffered–that is, until the day he received some harrowing news.

The time they spent together in the months before Amy’s death were moments that Rich and his family will treasure forever, but they’ll especially remember the inside joke that became a catchphrase for not only the Donnelly family but also the Pittsburgh Pirates as they played in the National League Championship Series that year: “The chicken runs at midnight.”
This book shares the heartwarming story behind the odd catchphrase–and how it still lives on as a symbol for never giving up–and proves that God can work in any person’s life, even despite their mistakes and failures. As you learn more about Amy’s incredible story, you’ll discover:
*The life-changing power of forgiveness
*How to find peace and joy in the midst of loss

White Lies : Nine Ways To Expose And Resist The Racial Systems That Divide
$19.99What can you do to be a force for racial justice?
Many White Christians are eager to fight against racism and for racial justice. But what steps can they take to make good, lasting change? How can they get involved without unintentionally doing more harm than good?
In this practical and illuminating guide drawn from more than twenty years of cross-cultural work and learning from some of the greatest leaders of color, pastor and racial justice advocate Daniel Hill provides nine practices rooted in Scripture that will position you to be an active supporter of inclusion, equality, and racial justice. With stories, studies, and examples from his own journey, Hill will show you:
*How to get free of the impact of White supremacy individually and recognize that it works systemically
*How to talk about race in an intelligent and respectful way
*How to recognize which strategies are helpful and which are harmful
*What you can do to make a difference every day, after protests and major events
We cannot experience holistic justice without confronting and dismantling White supremacy. But as we follow Jesus–the one who is supreme over all things–into overturning false power systems, we will become better advocates of the liberating and unconditional love that God extends to us all.

We then jump ahead three months. Nir and his team are on a mission to kill all of Hamas’s leadership who are hiding in other countries. Nir is involved in a targeted killing in Iran, while Nicole is part of the team that assassinates a Hamas leader in Turkey. Prior to the assassinations, the Israeli PM threatens the president of Turkey that he must expel any Hamas leaders from his country-or Israel will pull back from their gas pipeline deal with Turkey. The president refuses, and vows that if Turkey cannot have access Israeli gas, no one will. Turkey then plots to destroy Israel’s gas fields using their massive drone fleet. Nir’s team is called to thwart this attack from Turkey in Operation Sick Man-so called because Turkey is the current “Sick Man of Europe.” Both Russia and Iran offer to help Turkey because they see Israel as a competitor in the energy industry. All three want to see Israel destroyed. Eventually, Nir and his team are able to stop the Turkish plot. After the operation is complete and everyone is settled, Nir tries to contact Nicole but is unsuccessful. Then he will get word that huge numbers of people around the world have disappeared.This will end the Nir Tavor Mossad Thriller series, and will set up the next series tentatively titled the Nir Tavor Tribulation Series.

Power Moves Bible Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$16.99In the Power Moves Study Guide, Sarah Jakes Roberts shares what the Bible says about how followers of Jesus can reclaim and redefine their God-given power. God’s original intention for humankind was for them to subdue the earth and have dominion over it. He instructed Adam and Eve to “rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground” (Genesis 1:28). But the first humans allowed the enemy to talk them into giving up this authority and ended up undermining their mission in the world. We have been living with the repercussions ever since.
But this is not the way it was supposed to be-and this is not the way it has to be. We do not have to buy into the enemy’s lie that we are powerless. We can reclaim the power that God intends for us to have. We can allow His strength to move in us, through us, and work for us so that we can stand against the schemes of the enemy and make a positive impact for God in this world. As Paul wrote, we can “put on the full armor of God” so we can “stand against the devil’s schemes” (Ephesians 6:10).
The Bible states that God created us to be a force in this world. We no longer have to accept that we have no power to change our situation. We can rediscover God’s power and allow it to move in us.

Oraciones Diarias Para Fortale – (Spanish)
$14.99En pocas ocasiones la vida discurre como planeamos, y con frecuencia nos encontramos llevadas de un lado a otro por circunstancias que estan fuera de nuestro control. Cuando las cosas salen mal, nuestra confianza en la fidelidad de Dios puede tambalearse. Sin embargo, su fidelidad esta unida a sus promesas en la Escritura, no a nuestras circunstancias terrenales.
En Oraciones diarias para encontrar fe: Encuentra la confianza en Dios pase lo que pase, la autora Erin H. Warren desglosa las preciosas promesas de Dios que tienen mas valor que cualquier cosa que este mundo tenga que ofrecer.
Aprenderas como Dios:
*Quita tus cargas para darte descanso
*Provee abundancia de consuelo que puedes ofrecer a otros
*Envia arco iris y esperanza despues de cada tormenta
*Comparte un amor fiel que nunca titubea
*Nos da su fortaleza para seguir corriendo la carreraEs la oracion de Erin que, al final de este libro, “las mujeres extiendan bien sus brazos y den un salto adelante para proclamar: ‘!Confio en Dios!'”.
Life rarely goes as planned, particularly when we rely on our own plans rather than God’s. So when things go awry, our faith in His faithfulness may waver. And yet God’s faithfulness is not tied to our earthly circumstances but rather to His promises in Scripture.
In Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What, author Erin H. Warren unpacks the precious promises of God that are worth far more than anything this world has to offer.
You will learn how God:
*Lifts your burdens to give you rest
*Provides an abundance of comfort that you can extend to others
*Sends rainbows and hope after every storm
*Shares a steadfast love that never wavers
*Gives us His strength to keep running the raceErin’s prayer is that by the end of this book, “women will fling their arms wide and leap forward to proclaim, ‘I trust in God!'”

So Into You
$17.99Opposites attract when an introverted vlogger and a reformed party boy exchange lessons on art, confidence, and yacht rock.
Artist Britt Branch has a successful online channel where she teaches a variety of art lessons. Obsessed with the 1970s, she has a style all her own. But she also has a huge problem–severe social anxiety. She lives with her mom, and while she pays her own bills, she wonders if she’ll ever have the courage to move out and move on. When her best friend announces she’s getting married, Britt decides it’s time to make a change.
Gorgeous Hunter Pickett has always skated by on his model looks, applying very little effort to anything except sports, and even that was iffy at times. The third son of extremely wealthy and successful parents, he dealt with being the black sheep of the family by drinking and using drugs. By his third year of sobriety, he’s still dealing with aimlessness. Late one night he catches Britt’s channel and ends up watching her videos. He’s not interested in art . . . at first. And when he sends her an online message, he’s surprised she responds. Before long they are chatting every day, and once they start meeting in person, a spark-filled friendship begins.
But both of them are keeping secrets. Big ones. When all truths are revealed in one pivotal moment, Britt and Hunter are at a crossroads. Will he fight for the happiness he’s worked so hard to obtain? And will she continue to hide from life, or can she finally step out of her own shadow?

Kingdom The Power And The Glory
$21.99The award-winning journalist and staff writer for The Atlantic follows up his New York Times bestseller American Carnage with this timely, rigorously reported, and deeply personal examination of the divisions that threaten to destroy the American evangelical movement.
Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing–and least understood–people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal.
For millions of conservative Christians, America is their kingdom–a land set apart, a nation uniquely blessed, a people in special covenant with God. This love of country, however, has given way to right-wing nationalist fervor, a reckless blood-and-soil idolatry that trivializes the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Alberta retraces the arc of the modern evangelical movement, placing political and cultural inflection points in the context of church teachings and traditions, explaining how Donald Trump’s presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated historical trends that long pointed toward disaster. Reporting from half-empty sanctuaries and standing-room-only convention halls across the country, the author documents a growing fracture inside American Christianity and journeys with readers through this strange new environment in which loving your enemies is “woke” and owning the libs is the answer to WWJD.
Accessing the highest echelons of the American evangelical movement, Alberta investigates the ways in which conservative Christians have pursued, exercised, and often abused power in the name of securing this earthly kingdom. He highlights the battles evangelicals are fighting–and the weapons of their warfare–to demonstrate the disconnect from scripture: Contra the dictates of the New Testament, today’s believers are struggling mightily against flesh and blood, eyes fixed on the here and now, desperate for a power that is frivolous and fleeting. Lingering at the intersection of real cultural displacement and perceived religious persecution, Alberta portrays a rapidly

Full Hearted Life
$18.99Meaningful answers for life’s big questions. Everyone must ask life’s big questions. Even people who reject any hint of the supernatural and insist that nothing exists apart from matter will have to find meaning for themselves. To put this another way, the defining mark of our secular age is not the absence of belief, but rather the effect on our consciousness of the sheer number of competing belief systems. That effect is fragilization. And so, belief is fragile. We don’t have to believe what we believe. We could believe something else entirely. This book articulates how believing in Jesus gives us a sense of who we are, why we’re here, what the good life is, and how to move toward that good life. This is not traditional apologetics, offering logical proofs that God exists or that Jesus is God incarnate or that all those alternative belief systems are false. Put simply, the aim of this book is to help you see for yourself and to explain to others how Christian belief and Christian practice can make life meaningful.
