Pinned : Farm Accident–Our Walk In Faith
$19.99George Topp believed in God but often relied on himself when making and carrying out decisions. He was not inclined to ask God for help but May 3, 2004 was the day that he found out he powerless. That day on his farm near Grace City, North Dakota, started out like any other. He had a half-dozen cows left to calf, and he was also seeding barley. Everything was going fine until his truck would not start. He had the bright idea to pull the truck with his small loader tractor and a chain to get it started. While the idea itself was sound, it was a bad call trying to do it himself without having someone drive the truck. The bumper of the truck ended up landing on the top of his legs, and he was immediately pinned. Before long, he began writing goodbyes to his wife and his family on his calving notepad. But miraculously, God intervened and saved George Topp’s life, not only rescuing him but also healing his wounds and restoring him to wholeness in Jesus Christ. George and his wife, Kaye, share the incredible love of Jesus and the unbelievable grace of God in this true story that will ignite your faith and convince you of God’s love.

Scripture And The Skeptic
$18.99Understand the Bible by interpreting it through the lens of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection.
The Bible is the best-selling, most widely read, and most quoted book in history. It is also misunderstood, misquoted, and fiercely debated. If, as Christians believe, the Bible is the Word of God, why is it so complex and difficult to interpret in parts, yet simple enough for even children to understand in others?
In Scripture and the Skeptic Eric Huffman, author of 40 Days of Doubt, helps readers understand and cope with confusion about the Bible and provides answers to questions by reframing it as a perfect and seamless story. Huffman illustrates how the Bible, even the parts some consider ungodly, presents the beautiful story that God intended to tell.
Through storytelling from his own experiences and his take on Bible stories, Huffman helps readers understand the Bible by interpreting the entire book through the lens of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. He shows how every part of the Bible is either crying out for Jesus, witnessing his incarnation, or responding in the aftermath of his resurrection.
*Readers discover how to trust the Bible as God’s beautiful and perfect salvation story.
*Includes questions with each chapter for personal reflection or group study.
*From the author of 40 Days of Doubt: Devotions for the Skeptic.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Managing Conflict Creatively 30th Anniversary Edition (Anniversary)
$19.98What does the Bible say about conflict resolution?
??Nobody likes conflict, especially when both parties are “part of the same team.” Unresolved conflict can lead to missionary attrition, but healthy conflict-resolution can be a wonderful growth opportunity, leading to problem-solving and team-building.
In Managing Conflict Creatively, Dr. Palmer first introduces the dynamics of conflict and the common styles of conflict management. After providing a Biblical background, he then identifies types of conflict and how to develop conflict management skills, specifically in cross-cultural situations. Lose your fear of conflict as you walk through case studies, engage in discussion questions, and learn to:
– Identify the stages of conflict and steps of healthy problem solving
– Encourage healthy conflict resolution in its early stages
– Identify your personal conflict style and the characteristics of an effective moderator
– Overreact less amid conflict
– Consciously choose a conflict-resolution style tailored to each situation
– Disagree well and resolve conflicts and misunderstandings without harming your witness
– Manage conflict in positive ways that foster growth and collaborationThis manual is intended to serve as a teaching tool and a study guide for cross-cultural
conflict management courses in Bible colleges, mission organizations, and churches. Thirty years after its original publication, this practical, Bible-centered approach to the dynamics of conflict and conflict management in cross-cultural situations remains relevant, both abroad and in today’s hybrid cities.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Therese : Poems
$21.00In this collection, poet Sarah Law presents lucid, lyrical reflections on the much-loved saint, Therese of Lisieux (1873-97), whose life and writing has been an inspiration to so many people. For Sarah Law, there is something about Therese that catches at the heart, and her poems flow from that sense of friendship and tenderness with her subject. Many of the poems meditate on events, large and small, in Therese’s brief but spiritually significant life. The first section explores her childhood, and the second, her nine precious years as a Carmelite nun; years of both sweetness and suffering. Several poems are inspired by well-known photographs of Therese, some of which are included in this volume. A final section considers Therese’s legacy, as her ‘little way’ of confidence and love became known throughout the world. Each poem may be read as an individual reflection, and as part of the larger biographical sequence.

Neglected C S Lewis
$24.00Readers who can quote word for word from C.S. Lewis’s theological classic, Mere Christianity, or his science fiction novel, Perelandra, have often never read his work as a professional literary historian. They may not even recognize some of the neglected works discussed, here. Mark Neal and Jerry Root have done students of Lewis a great service, tracing the signature ideas in Lewis’s works of literary criticism and showing their relevance to Lewis’s more familiar books. Their thorough research and lucid prose will be welcome to all who would like to understand Lewis more fully, but who feel daunted by books of such evident scholarly erudition.
For example, when you read The Discarded Image on the ancients’ view of the heavens, you understand better why Ransom has such unpleasant sensations when first descending toward Malacandra in Out of the Silent Planet. And when you come across Lewis’s discussion in OHEL of a minor sixteenth-century poet who described the hellish River Styx as a “puddle glum,” you can’t help but chuckle at the name when you meet the famous Marshwiggle in The Silver Chair. These are just two examples of how reading the “Neglected Lewis” can help every reader understand Lewis more fully.

Might From The Margins
$16.99God has empowered marginalized Christians to transform the church.
The power of the gospel is often most visible among those who have been the least respected, including racial or ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, women, and people who have been displaced from their homeland. Yet in many faith communities, these are the same people whose leadership gifts are least likely to be recognized. But the power of the gospel comes from God, not from other humans. This book is a passionate affirmation of the power already present among marginalized Christians and a call to recognize and embrace this power for the sake of helping the church become more like Christ.
Marginalized Christians are already changing the face of the church. Will we embrace their power to change the church’s heart?

Crianza Responsiva – (Spanish)
$15.99This book identifies five problem areas in parenting that, if left unchecked, will produce problems in adolescence. They are:
a) Isolation
b) Unrestrainedness
c) no boundaries
d) poor parental accessibility
e) shameThe antidote for all five are connection, self-control, good boundaries, accessibility to the parents, and the parents’ ability to mitigate shame in their children’s lives.
One of the primary differences between families who enjoy each other and families who do not enjoy each other is the way they approach conflict. Reactive families do not possess the skills to resolve conflict, while responsive families do. All around us are adolescents who are isolated, with little self-control over their emotions. They easily get into trouble because of poor parental boundaries and subsequently experience shame. They do not have accessibility to their parents and do not know how to resolve their conflicts and confusion. Young parents can avoid these deadly pitfalls beginning at the toddler stage by parenting in a responsive way. They will raise children who know how to interact with others, control their emotions, respect and accept good boundaries, enjoy accessibility with their parents, and know how to mitigate shame when it occurs in their lives.
The reactive family is literally going in circles. Their cyclical, reactive patterns include inattentiveness, misunderstanding, put downs, rejection, shame, and isolation. They can be disconnected, angry, and resentful. They are on an emotional merry-go-round and do not know how to get off. On the other hand, the responsive family has learned how to stop the cycle. They have employed listening, understanding, and clarification. When they apologize–it means something. When they forgive, they do not bring it up again. Instead of being rigid, they have learned to be flexible. They are connected and forgiving. As a result, they are emotionally strong and respectful of each other. They enjoy spontaneous moments in a mutually satisfying way.
This book helps the reader identify deadly patterns that are draining the life out of their relationships and presents change as a real possibility. With the use of metaphors and word pictures, the reader can see both kinds of families, but also learn how to introduce change into their family–the kind of change that is not easy but is transformative.
Parenting is a daunting task, especially if you’re young and inexperienced. Today many parents

Who God Says He Is
$34.99If you’ve spent any amount of time around children, you know that little humans like to read, watch, and listen to things on repeat. From singing silly songs for hours on end to watching the same movie 100 times, or asking for the same bedtime story for the 12th night in a row. Most parents will tell you that whatever their kids have on repeat gets stuck in their heads as well . . . and that’s not always a good thing. What if, instead of silly songs, children and their parents had Biblical truths stuck in their head?
The hope for this book is that it will teach children the truth of who God is while simultaneously encouraging the adults who read to them. The world around us constantly feeds us lies about who God is (or isn’t), and who we are (or aren’t). This book is meant to replace those lies with beautiful truths from the Bible, and empower people to live abundant lives as a result.
Children who are struggling to fit in will learn that God is the most faithful of friends. Teenagers navigating a multitude of changes in their world will know that God is unchanging from day to day. Parents searching for the right words to say to their children will be reminded that God is the source of all wisdom, and they can seek Him in moments of need. May God bless this book, and its readers of all ages!
Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable–if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy–dwell on these things.

Strive With Me
$9.99“I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit.” Jesus spoke these words to His disciples on the eve of His death. His disciples were with Him for three years while He trained them in order to send them into the world. Jesus had every expectation they would continue the mission and bear fruit. This would prove they were truly His disciples. Therefore, are we truly followers of Jesus if we opt-out of fulfilling His mission? Can we say our lives are committed to Jesus if we have little concern for His plan?
To answer these questions, we must begin to examine what type of gospel we believe. The gospel we believe will produce the disciple we become. In addition, we will reproduce what we know in the lives of others. Reproducing a false gospel or an incomplete gospel perpetuates an unhealthy cycle. At best, this cycle produces immature Christians and at worst, it produces false converts. It is imperative we begin here.
Jesus spoke often of the Kingdom of God, but do we know what this means or why it is important? We should know because the Kingdom of God is the context for the gospel and the Great Commission. Like the gospel, the Kingdom of God is a necessary talking point for all other talking points found in this book.
Strive with Me invites women into a process that unfolds with each chapter. It calls women to come with teachable hearts which are open to honest self-reflection and examination of our Christian women’s culture. It invites women to abandon patterns hindering them from fulfilling what Jesus commanded them to do. It challenges women to deconstruct unbiblical cycles, focus their minds on Scripture, and participate in the mission of the Kingdom of God.
Challenging books on these topics have been written by some godly men. We need their wisdom. However, it is time we as women take a hard look into our lives and our circles too. It is time we answer the call to abide in the Scriptures, grow spiritually according to the biblical definition, and make disciples. We are responsible to train and raise up the next generation of women. Jesus has appointed us to accomplish this task while there is still breath in our lungs and so prove to be His disciples. Will you answer the call?

The enemy: Prince Javin, Captain Domination and Commander Bondo, alerted by Lucifer that the child is destined for greatness. So, bound to make the mortal stumble and to distract him from his destiny. The boy’s dysfunctional family already makes for a mire of evil for the wicked trio to perform their feats.
Terrence at the age of twenty-five, becomes a popular bartender in an Atlanta prevalent nightclub. However, he and a friend slip into a unique spirit-filled service at Monument of Hope Church. There the spiritual veil is opened, allowing Terrence to see demonic activity in the rafters of the church. Impressed by the happenings at the service, he purchases a Bible and begins to study. After giving his life to Christ, Terrence enrolls in a Spirit-filled Bible College and realizes that his “calling” is Evangelizing. He returns to the church where he first saw the spiritual activity and meets the new Senior Pastor, Jon Daehl. With the help of Terence, they combat a High Priestess nemesis, Marion Cole and her coven who are demonically driven to spiritually bring the renowned church down. Carla, a rogue witch, knows Palmer’s worth to her Lucifer, she attempts to sacrifice Palmer on an All Hallows Eve ritual. The LUCIE coven only sacrifices animals; therefore, Marion surprisingly saves the Evangelist and expels Carla.
Marion refuses to surrender her son’s life to Satan, so he influences a gang of boys to beat up Barry at the age of ten. A blow to his skull with a brick makes him comatose for twenty-one years. Distressed that she has been lied to, and Marion’s son is paying for her services to her Master, she rebukes him. Satan then tries to terminate her life by burning her home down with her in it. However, Dr. Terrence Palmer and Rev Jon Daehl visit Marion at the hospital and prays over her as she is set free and saved, but before she dies, Palmer promises Marion that he will deliver her son from the spiritual servitude. Terrence is taken by his Angel into the spiritual realm and with the Guardian’s Celestial 77 Amplitude laser sword, battles the demonic forces and delivers the young man from the bondage of perdition.
Dr. Palmer’s last gift of the Spirit is the resurrection of the daughter of his childhood friend, Albert Trent. Diane passes with leukemia just before Palmer’s arrival. However,

In A Boat In The Middle Of A Lake
$18.99Patrick and Ruth Schwenk, founders of the popular blogs For the Family and The Better Mom, as well as the podcast Rootlike Faith, reveal the unshakeable hope God offers in our most difficult trials.
At some point, we all find ourselves, like the disciples in Mark 4, in a boat in the middle of a lake. For some of us, this is the loss of a loved one. For others, a disability or financial insecurity. For Patrick and Ruth Schwenk, it was Patrick’s cancer diagnosis at age forty-three. In this powerful new book, the Schwenks share their personal stories of loss and tragedy, along with strong Bible teaching and the experiences of nearly twenty years in pastoral ministry, to show that one of the greatest ways God transforms us is through trials–through difficult seasons of loss, disappointment, weakness, and suffering. Because while we live in a culture that values strength, control, and comfort, God does his greatest work in us through our pain. It’s when we’re weak that God has us where he can work with us. But that is never where he leaves us. It’s through the hurt that we come to fully know the hope that is ours in Christ.

Powerful Purpose Of Introverts
$16.99Would it surprise you to know that Joanna Gaines, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, C. S. Lewis, Max Lucado, and Meryl Streep are all introverts? Even though introverts make up half the population, most people still don’t fully understand what it means to be one.
Research shows the qualities introverts may see as struggles can be their greatest strengths. Introverts don’t need to act more like extroverts to thrive, lead, and make a difference. Instead, they need to truly understand who God created them to be so they can avoid pitfalls like insecurity or anxiety and bravely offer their gifts to the world.
In this transformative book, Holley Gerth dives into the brain science behind introversion to help you understand the psychological, relational, and spiritual aspects of being an introvert. She explores how introverts can make meaningful connections, experience quiet confidence, cultivate soul-filling solitude, exercise unexpected influence, and much more.

Beautiful And Terrible Things
$22.00With deep faith, knowledge of Scripture, and the wisdom that comes only from experience, Brady guides readers grieving losses and setbacks of all kinds in voicing their lament to God, reflecting on the nature of human existence, and persevering in hope. Brady finds that rather than an image of God managing every event and action in our lives, the biblical account describes the very real world in which we all live, a world full of hardship and calamity that often comes unbidden and unmerited. Yet, it also is a world into which God lovingly intrudes to bring comfort, peace, and grace.
Bible scholar Christian Brady, an expert on Old Testament lament, was as prepared as a person could be for the death of a child-which is to say, not nearly well enough. When his eight-year-old son died suddenly from a fast-moving blood infection, Brady heard the typical platitudes about accepting God’s will and knew that quiet acceptance was not the only godly way to grieve.

Enhancing Christian Life
$25.99No one is really Christian on their own. But often the religious life is seen as individual, private, and internal-resulting in a truncated, consumeristic faith. And what if that kind of individualistic Christianity is built on a fundamental misunderstanding of human nature? According to psychologists Brad Strawn and Warren Brown, it’s time to rethink the Christian life in light of current research on the human mind, particularly with a deeper understanding of the process called “extended cognition.” Using insights from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, they argue in Enhancing Christian Life that persons must be understood as not only embodied and embedded within particular contexts, but also extended beyond the body to encompass aspects of the physical and social world. Embracing a vision of the Christian life as extended into interactions with a local network of believers, they help us discover a fuller, more effective way to be Christian. After exploring the psychological dynamics of extended cognition, including how the mind is “supersized” by the incorporation of physical tools and social networks, Strawn and Brown consider implications for spiritual practices, congregational life, and religious language and traditions, which they describe as mental “wikis.” The formation of robust Christian life, they show, is a process that takes place within a larger mesh of embodiment and mind-broader, deeper, and richer than we could ever be on our own.

Gates Of Dannemora
$39.95An Outskirts Press Title
In 2015, two convicted murderers escaped from maximum security Clinton Prison in Dannemora, New York. After three weeks on the run, one inmate was apprehended – – the other shot dead.
Gaining nation-wide attention, Ben Stiller pitches the idea to Showtime to film a docuseries on the escape, casting Benecio del Toro, Paul Dano, and Patricia Arquet.
Stiller’s Emmy-nominated production reached millions of viewers but failed to capture the most intriguing story of Clinton Prison.
And that story is – –
Gates of Dannemora is an inspiring, fact based story of how one man’s vision and tenacity to build the first free standing church within the walls of Clinton Prison became a reality.
In the aftermath of the Great Depression, Clinton’s notorious inmate Charles “Lucky” Luciano, plus the grit of two hundred fellow inmates overcame insurmountable odds to build an 8,000 square foot Gothic Church.

Engaging The Doctrine Of Marriage
$59.00This book is the next volume in Levering’s Engaging Doctrine series. The prior volume of the series examined the doctrine of creation. The present volume examines the purpose of creation: the marriage of God and humans. God created the cosmos for the purpose of the marriage of God and his people–and through his people, the marriage of God and the entire creation. Given that the central meaning or “prime analogate” of marriage is the marriage of God and humankind, the study of human marriage needs to be shaped by this eschatological goal and foregrounded as a dogmatic theme. After a first chapter defending and explaining the biblical witness to the marriage of God and his people, the book explores various themes: marriage as an image of God, original sin as the fall of the primordial marriage, the cross of Jesus Christ and marital self-sacrificial love, the procreative and unitive ends of marriage, marriage as a sacrament, and marriage’s importance for social justice and for the upbuilding of the kingdom of God. Along the way, the book provides an introduction to the key biblical, patristic, medieval, modern, and contemporary thinkers and controversies regarding the doctrine of marriage.

Why Is Christianity So Hard
$10.99Christianity is hard. Having faith today is difficult at best. Our faith will be tested by God, Satan, society, our loved ones and ourselves. Why is the gate narrow? Why do we need to share in the sufferings of Christ? Why is evil in the world? Why did you give us free will to choose? Why is the message of the Gospel foolishness to most people? Doesn’t God want all to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Why is it so hard for us to believe you? Frustrated with the struggles to maintain his faith, the author works through some of the hard questions that Christians will be asked and may have asked themselves.
God works through the least likely to accomplish His purpose and will. Written by a soldier for Christ, this book organizes biblical truths to enable the reader to formulate their own beliefs based on the word of God. After years of seeking God through studying, attending and leading classes, the author presents what the Bible says about key issues in the believers walk of faith.”
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith” (1 John 5:4 NKJV).

Gates Of Dannemora
$24.95An Outskirts Press Title
In 2015, two convicted murderers escaped from maximum security Clinton Prison in Dannemora, New York. After three weeks on the run, one inmate was apprehended – – the other shot dead.
Gaining nation-wide attention, Ben Stiller pitches the idea to Showtime to film a docuseries on the escape, casting Benecio del Toro, Paul Dano, and Patricia Arquet.

Gates of Dannemora is an inspiring, fact based story of how one man’s vision and tenacity to build the first free standing church within the walls of Clinton Prison became a reality.
In the aftermath of the Great Depression, Clinton’s notorious inmate Charles “Lucky” Luciano, plus the grit of two hundred fellow inmates overcame insurmountable odds to build an 8,000 square foot Gothic Church.
Led by the newly assigned Catholic chaplain to Clinton Prison, Father Ambrose Hyland views this audacious endeavor as a way to recast oppressive prison life into a Journey towards hope and renewed life.

28 Day Prayer Journey Study Guide With DVD (Student/Study Guide)

Everywhere To Hide
$16.99Siri Mitchell’s latest thriller asks: Who do you trust when you can’t even trust yourself?
Whitney Garrison, a recent law school graduate, grapples with life as a person with face blindness-a neurological condition that prevents her from distinguishing one face from another.

Nothing about her life is easy.
When she becomes the sole witness to a murder, Whitney tries to convince herself that it was just a crime of opportunity. Moreover, she has no way of recognizing the person she saw that night. But when it becomes apparent that the victim was involved in espionage and that the killer has a way of anticipating Whitney’s every move, she realizes her life is in grave danger. And that the killer might be closer than she thinks.

Take Back Your Life Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$13.99In this five-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor and author Levi Lusko reveals how every moment of every day, we must make the choice as to whether we will rely on ourselves to determine the reality of our situation or whether we will trust in God. In the Old Testament, we read how Gehazi, the servant of the prophet Elisha, faced this very dilemma. A bounty had been put on Elisha’s head, and an army was now surrounding them. Gehazi was frantic. “Oh no, my lord!” he cried. “What shall we do?” (2 Kings 6:15).
“Don’t be afraid,” Elisha calmly answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (verse 16). Gehazi must have wondered if his master had lost his mind. They had maybe five minutes before the soldiers reached them . . . yet here was Elisha practically singing the lyrics to “It’s a Small World” and pretending everything was going to be all right. But then the prophet prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see” (verse 17). And with this, Gehazi suddenly saw what his master was seeing: a glorious, greater, and far more powerful army of the Lord surrounding the enemy invaders.
When it comes to the trials and crises in our lives, we need to see the reality of our situation with the same “spiritual eyes” as Elisha possessed. What we perceive is not all that is there . . . there are unseen things, spiritual things, eternal things. As the apostle Paul put it, “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:18 nlt). As we learn to perceive our world through the lens of faith, we gain the strength to do the impossible.
Take Back Your Life is a forty-day journey that will challenge you to see your situation with spiritual eyes, identify the roadblocks that get in the way of your faith in Christ, and ultimately take the first steps to become the difference-maker in the world that God created you to be!

Too Good To Be False
$17.48What if we take the story of Jesus seriously-as a story? Skeptics urge us to do that-it’s “only a story,” they say, a legend just like many other god-stories from ancient days. Why do we treat it as anything more than that? Too Good To Be False takes up that question with an approach no author has taken in close to a century. This book shows that although the skeptics’ question may be a fine one, the answer they give is as far from truth as it could be. Jesus’ character is unlike any other. No other hero-whether of history, myth, imagination, or legend-has loved as he loved, led as he led, cared as he cared, or understood himself as Jesus understood himself. Christians reading this book will encounter Jesus in fresh, worshipful new ways, and skeptics may discover his character is too unique, too consistent, and entirely too good to be false.

Messy Truth : How To Foster Community Without Sacrificing Conviction
$17.00From the author of Messy Grace, a former pastor raised by gay parents, comes a compassionate playbook to help Christians, church staff, and ministry leaders create a culture of belonging without sacrificing theological convictions.
What should we do? This is a question many Christians are asking as they face shifting societal norms, conflicting opinions, and often inaccurate scriptural interpretations regarding those who identify as LGBTQ+.
Caleb Kaltenbach believes there’s a more helpful question: What am I willing to do to keep and build influence with ______________?
Caleb knows our love for others is best measured by the lengths we’ll go to help them. He also recognizes that people find and follow Jesus better in community than in isolation. As a child raised by three activist gay parents, Caleb experienced firsthand the outrage of some Christians. That’s why he is committed to creating a sense of belonging for all people.
True community can happen only when Christians are intentional in infusing their attitudes, systems, and values with grace and truth. This hopeful, practical book offers tools for encouraging church involvement, strengthening personal relationships, increasing empathy, and engaging in pivotal conversations about grace and truth with our whole community.
Fostering a culture of belonging is a messy process, but it holds a massive possibility for everyone involved: a growing relationship with Jesus.

Dos principios clave en el manejo financiero

La mayordomia y lo material no deben ser un fin en si mismo. Cuando ambos principios son entendidos y sobre todo vividos, cambia la forma como nos relacionamos con lo material y por ende su manejo.
Ahorrar es de sabios

Contentamiento: La cura al deficit

La deuda en la Biblia: Caminar contra la corriente

Mis deberes financieros biblicos
En vista de que somos administradores de recursos que Dios nos provee, tenemos entonces responsabilidades especificas con esos recursos. Nuestros deberes son hacia: Dios, familia, iglesia, gobierno y otras personas.

Goals : How To Get The Most Out Of Your Life
$19.98Do you ever find yourself confusing activity with accomplishment?
In this book, legendary speaker and author, Zig Ziglar points out you can’t hit a target you don’t have. He shares the 4 Reasons People Don’t Set Goals.
Anyone can be, do, and have more. BUT… “You cannot make it as a wandering generality. You must become a meaningful specific.”
Zig guides you through the 9 Steps of Setting Goals. And he encourages you with, “A goal properly set is halfway reached.”
Zig shares a quote by Oliver Wendall Holmes, “Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.”
After teaching the steps to setting goals, Zig takes you straight into ACTION! Zig identifies 13 Variables in the Formula to Reach Your Goals. The day by day actions work. “When you take hold of these ideas and follow the procedures, you will accomplish goals.”
If you’re familiar with Zig, you know you’ll get lots of folksy stories and one-liners in this book. And motivation by the wheelbarrow load. What you might be surprised by is the level of practicality. Zig breaks the goal setting and getting processes down to step by step, day by day actions. Whether you are just now experiencing Zig Ziglar for the first time or even if you have followed him for years, this book will be a life-changing revelation.

Children Of The Stars
$16.99From international bestselling author Mario Escobar comes a story of escape, sacrifice, and hope amid the perils of the second World War.
August 1942. Jacob and Moses Stein, two young Jewish brothers, are staying with their aunt in Paris amid the Nazi occupation. The boys’ parents, well-known German playwrights, have left the brothers in their aunt’s care until they can find safe harbor for their family. But before the Steins can reunite, a great and terrifying roundup occurs. The French gendarmes, under Nazi order, arrest the boys and take them to the Vélodrome d’Hiver-a massive, bleak structure in Paris where thousands of France’s Jews are being forcibly detained.
Jacob and Moses know they must flee in order to survive, but they only have a set of letters sent from the south of France to guide them to their parents. Danger lurks around every corner as the boys, with nothing but each other, trek across the occupied country. Along their remarkable journey, they meet strangers and brave souls who put themselves at risk to protect the children-some of whom pay the ultimate price for helping these young refugees of war.
This inspiring novel, now available for the first time in English, demonstrates the power of family and the endurance of the human spirit-even through the darkest moments of human history.

Ancient Jewish And Christian Scriptures
$45.00Ancient Jewish and Christian Scriptures examines the writings included in and excluded from the Jewish and Christian canons of Scripture and explores the social settings in which some of this literature was viewed as authoritative and some was viewed either as uninspired or as heretical. John J. Collins, Craig A. Evans, and Lee Martin McDonald examine how those noncanonical writings demonstrate the historical, literary, and religious aspects of the culture that gave rise to the writings. They also show how literature excluded from the Jewish and Christian canons of Scripture remains valuable today for understanding the questions and conflicts that early Jewish and Christian faith communities faced. Through this discussion, contemporary readers acquire a broader understanding of biblical Scripture and of Jewish and Christian faith inspired by Scripture.

$14.99What do we do when life hasn’t turned out the way we expected? These refreshingly candid stories encourage readers trying ‘to adult’ how to find joy in the journey of a messy, work-in-progress walk of (sometimes failing, but still standing) faith.
What do we do when life hasn’t turned out the way we expected? Why does it seem to take so long for us to get what we want? Does God still hear our prayers – even the “selfish “ones that are not about world peace? Will I be single forever? Are we allowed to talk about sex? Does God even care? Life expectations have changed significantly for women over the years but many of us are left still trying to navigate them, berating ourselves for not having the perfect job, husband and cute children to Instagram to our ‘friends.’ Still Standing is a series of 100 “life lessons” from someone grappling with the messy middle. After the bereavement of a daughter shortly after birth followed by the demise of a marriage and unwanted divorce, Tola Fisher explores what she has learned in this wilderness season. This is a book about discovering joy in a life which has been completely broken. To the world, she remains unfixed; she is still single, still childless, but God has brought her to understand that no experience is wasted and that He is in the business of restoration every day, in every one. Tola candidly uses her own life experiences to explore what she has learned in this season, turning to the Bible’s wisdom to help us find God in every lesson thrown our way.

For some Christians, such an affirmation is an indication of God’s sovereign and perfect will. For others, such a notion is troubling for it seems to downplay the significance of human agency and choice. Throughout the church’s history, Christians have sought to understand the meaning of relevant biblical texts and debated this theological conundrum. With care and insight, theologian Mark Lindsay surveys the development of the Christian doctrine of election. After exploring Scripture on this theme, he turns to the various articulations of this doctrine from the early church fathers, including Augustine, and medieval theologians such as Aquinas, to John Calvin’s view, the subsequent debate between Calvinists and Arminians, and Karl Barth’s modern reconception of the doctrine. On this journey through the Bible and church history, readers will discover how Christians have understood the notion that God has chosen.

Liturgy Of Politics
$19.99A generation of young Christians are weary of the political legacy they’ve inherited and are hungry for a better approach. They’re tired of seeing their faith tied to political battles they didn’t start, and they’re frustrated with leaders they thought they could trust. Kaitlyn Schiess grew up in this landscape, and understands it from the inside. In The Liturgy of Politics, Schiess shows that the church’s politics are shaped by its habits and practices, even when it’s unaware of them. Spiritual formation, and particularly a focus on formative practices, are experiencing a renaissance in Christian thinking-but these ideas are not often applied to the political sphere. Schiess insists that the way out of our political morass is first to recognize the formative power of the political forces all around us, and then to recover historic Christian practices that shape us according to the truth of the gospel.

Single Light : A Thriller
$23.99In this gripping, high-octane sequel to The Line Between, which New York Times bestselling author Alex Kava calls “everything you want in a thriller,” cult escapee Wynter Roth and ex-soldier Chase Miller emerge from their bunker to find a country ravaged by disease.
Six months after vanishing into an underground silo with sixty-one others, Wynter and Chase emerge to an altered world. There is no sign of Noah and the rest of the group that was supposed to greet them when they surfaced-the same people Wynter was counting on to help her locate the antibiotics her gravely ill friend, Julie, needs.
As the clock ticks down on Julie’s life, Wynter and Chase embark on a desperate search for medicine and answers. But what they find is not a nation on the cusp of recovery but one decimated by disease. What happened while they were underground?
With food and water in limited supply and their own survival in question, Chase and Wynter must venture further and further from the silo. They come face-to-face with a radically changed society, where communities scrabble to survive under rogue leaders and cities are war zones. As hope fades by the hour and Wynter learns the terrible truth of the last six months, she is called upon again to help save a nation she no longer recognizes-a place so chaotic she’s no longer sure it can even survive.

Lose Control Womens Bible Study Leader Guide (Teacher’s Guide)
$16.99Have you ever thought you had life under control-until you didn’t? Perhaps thinking “God is in control” but living as if you are. It’s like walking around with a hot cup of coffee, afraid that with one wrong move it will spill and be a burning hot mess. Then you realize what little control you have and how dependent on God you truly are.
In Lose Control, Mary Shannon Hoffpauir takes you on a six-week journey through the Book of First Samuel, which is an epic story about a fight for control. Despite God’s warnings through the prophet Samuel, the nation of Israel was determined to take control by having their own king. As you dig into the saga of King Saul and David, who would become the next anointed king of Israel, you will discover that no plan or purpose of God can be thwarted by human beings. Even the worst of circumstances can be used by God to accomplish His purposes in your life.
In her no-nonsense, authentic teaching style that endears her to women of all ages, Mary Shannon encourages you to lose control so that you can find your soul through a trusting relationship with your faithful God.

Promise To The One
$24.98The greatest joy and fulfillment are within your reach, but they require an enduring Promise to The One…someone you might not expect. It’s not your boss, your spouse, your children, or others-no, the ultimate commitment is The Promise you make to yourself to discover your purpose and gifts and share them with the world.
Everyone has been hurt or negatively impacted by broken promises. Promise-breaking and a lack of integrity are symptomatic of the most chronic illness faced by society today. Even though many leadership courses and ethics programs tout “integrity” as a buzzword, few of us are really assessing our own values unless someone calls us out on a discrepancy. But even when others don’t catch on to the faade, when our values aren’t in alignment with our actions and when our actions aren’t consonant with our gifts and passions, we’re left feeling isolated, drained, and depressed. No recognition or acceptance from others can fill the void in the same way as when you keep a Promise to yourself and actually follow through on it.
The Promise is the highest level of engagement we commit to in any experience. The Promise is greater than a goal-it’s a sacred commitment. It’s complete dedication to identifying your Signature Moves-the unique talents you’ve been given that, when developed and used to better others’ lives, make you a Legendary Leader.
What choices do you make when no one is watching?
How do you approach a decision that requires you to let either yourself or someone else down?
How do you stay committed to your values, even when the less-rewarding path is more convenient?
A renowned speaker and performer who has helped audiences worldwide appreciate what accountability really means, Jason Hewlett shares his program for self-discovery and taking ownership of your gifts in The Promise to The One. His unique three-step method-IDENTIFY * CLARIFY * MAGNIFY-will enable you to pinpoint your strengths, shape them into an identity to which you commit, and develop them so that they can improve others’ lives as well as your own. Filled with Jason’s signature wit and vulnerability as well as actionable exercises, this book will help you refine your character and reach your dreams through the power of kept Promises.
Start your journey to living a life of Promise Making and Keeping…beginning with The Promise to The One.

Beautiful Community : Unity, Diversity, And The Church At Its Best
$18.99The church is at its best when it pursues the biblical value of unity in diversity. Our world has been torn asunder by racial, ethnic, and ideological differences. It is seen in our politics, felt in our families, and ingrained in our theology. Sadly, the church has often reinforced these ethnic and racial divides. To cast off the ugliness of disunity and heal our fractured humanity, we must cultivate spiritual practices that help us pursue beautiful community. In The Beautiful Community, pastor and theologian Irwyn Ince boldly unpacks the reasons for our divisions while gently guiding us toward our true hope for wholeness and reconciliation. God reveals himself to us in his trinitarian life as the perfection of beauty, and essential to this beauty is his work as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The gospel imperative to pursue the beautiful community-unity in diversity across lines of difference-is rooted in reflecting the beautiful community of our triune God. This book calls us into and provides tools for that pursuit.

God Will Make A Way
$19.99In God Will Make a Way, Bishop Ken Carter shares reflections from his journey from the 2016 General Conference, through his leadership in The Way Forward, his role as Presiding Bishop, into the special 2019 Conference and culminating in the 2020 General Conference. The book is both a spiritual journey and an inside view of one of the most tumultuous periods of national and denominational history.
Carter casts his personal spiritual reflections against a backdrop of life-shaping events – the first Way Forward meeting, the tragedy at Mother Emmanuel, interactions with Miroslav Volf and other theologians, the Pulse shootings, and more. Throughout, the high points are experiences and conversations between people, often from dramatically different stances, who find common ground, new understanding and hope while the dark times are from conflict inspired anger, national violence and shaken hope.
The meaning and understanding of Carter’s story requires the reader to share the context of the times both in the Church and the nation. Throughout the chapters, the design will include news stories, agendas, photos and other design elements to show the intertwining of the events

Engaging The Doctrine Of Marriage
$39.00This book is the next volume in Levering’s Engaging Doctrine series. The prior volume of the series examined the doctrine of creation. The present volume examines the purpose of creation: the marriage of God and humans. God created the cosmos for the purpose of the marriage of God and his people–and through his people, the marriage of God and the entire creation. Given that the central meaning or “prime analogate” of marriage is the marriage of God and humankind, the study of human marriage needs to be shaped by this eschatological goal and foregrounded as a dogmatic theme. After a first chapter defending and explaining the biblical witness to the marriage of God and his people, the book explores various themes: marriage as an image of God, original sin as the fall of the primordial marriage, the cross of Jesus Christ and marital self-sacrificial love, the procreative and unitive ends of marriage, marriage as a sacrament, and marriage’s importance for social justice and for the upbuilding of the kingdom of God. Along the way, the book provides an introduction to the key biblical, patristic, medieval, modern, and contemporary thinkers and controversies regarding the doctrine of marriage.

Some people go to hell. Place your faith in the One who paid your penalty and offers to you the forgiveness of sins and the free gift of eternal life.

Dorothy And Jack
$22.35What happens when we push past the surface and allow real, grounded, mutually challenging, and edifying friendships to develop? We need only look at the little-known friendship between eminent Christian thinkers Dorothy L. Sayers and C. S. Lewis to find out.

In a time when many Christians now aren’t even sure that a man and a woman can be “just friends” and remain faithful, Gina Dalfonzo’s engaging treatment of the relationship between two of Christianity’s most important modern thinkers and writers will resonate deeply with anyone who longs for authentic, soul-stirring friendships that challenge them to grow intellectually and spiritually. Fans of Lewis and Sayers will find here a fascinating addition to their collections.

Slaying The Giant Of Fear
$22.50Fear is a giant that shouts at us from the battle lines of our lives–a giant adorned in seemingly impenetrable armor. But God has given us supernatural weapons that even fear cannot outrun.
Sharing stories from her own life and others’, author and speaker Krissy Nelson uncovers a powerful truth: As children of God we are made to live fearlessly. Concealed within the familiar story of David and Goliath are three supernatural weapons David used to slay the giant of fear.

Nelson dives into Scripture and explores how to position yourself to see fear for what it is: a giant that dares defy the army of the living God.

Determined to save their marriage and the city they love, two people divided by World War II’s secrets rebuild their lives, their love, and their world.
London, Fall 1945. Architectural historian Diana Somerville’s experience as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park and her knowledge of London’s churches intersect in MI6’s pursuit of a Russian agent named Eternity.

Brent Somerville, professor of theology at King’s College, hopes aiding his wife with her church consultations will help him better understand why she disappeared when he needed her most.

Love Her Well
$19.99Moms are eager for tips and wisdom to help them build strong relationships with their daughters, and Kari Kampakis’s Love Her Well gives them ten practical ways to do so, not by changing their daughters but by changing their own thoughts, actions, and mind-set.
For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true. Yet as girls grow up, the narrative of innocence and joy changes to gloom and doom as moms are told, “Just wait until she’s a teenager!” and handed a disheartening script that treats a teenage girl’s final years at home as solely a season to survive.
Author and blogger Kari Kampakis suggests it’s time to change the narrative and mind-set that lead moms to parent teen girls with a spirit of defeat, not strength. By improving the foundation, habits, and dynamics of the relationship, mothers can connect with their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support.
As a mom of four daughters (three of whom are teenagers), Kari has learned the hard way that as girls grow up, mothers must grow up too. In Love Her Well, Kari shares ten ways that moms can better connect with their daughters in a challenging season, including:
*choosing their words and timing carefully,
*listening and empathizing with her teen’s world,
*seeing the good and loving her for who she is,
*taking care of themselves and having a support system, and more.This book isn’t a guide to help mothers “fix” their daughters or make them behave. Rather, it’s about a mom’s journey, doing the heart work and legwork necessary to love a teenager while still being a strong, steady parent. Kari explores how every relationship consists of two imperfect sinners, and teenagers gain more respect for their parents when they admit (and learn from) their mistakes, apologize, listen, give grace, and try to understand their teens’ point of view. Yes, teenagers need rules and consequences, but without a connected relationship, parents may never gain a significant voice in their lives or be a safe place they long to return to.
By admitting her personal failures and prideful mistakes that have hurt her relationships with her teenage daughters, Kari gives mothers hope and reminds them all things are possible through God. By leaning on him, mothers gain the wisdom, guidance, protection, and clarity they need to grow strong relationships with their daughters at every age, especially during the critical teen years.

After Evangelicalism : The Path To A New Christianity
$24.00David Gushee offers a new way forward for disillusioned post-evangelicals by first analyzing what went wrong with U.S. white evangelicalism in areas such as evangelical identity, biblical interpretation, church life, sexuality, politics, and race. Gushee then proposes new ways of Christian believing, belonging, and behaving, helping post-evangelicals from where they are to a living relationship with Christ and an intellectually cogent and morally robust post-evangelical faith. After Evangelicalism shows that it is possible to follow Jesus out of evangelical Christianity, and more than that, it’s necessary.
A building crescendo of developments, culminating in evangelical support for the Trump presidency, has led many evangelicals to question the faith they inherited. If being Christian means rejecting LGBTQ persons and supporting systemic racism, perhaps their Christian journey is over.

From Widows To Warriors
$20.00This Bible study introduces and retells every female character who contributes to one or more Old Testament stories, diving deeply into what each woman’s story means for us today with questions for reflection and discussion.
For too long the women of the Bible have been depicted in one-dimensional terms. On one side are saints, such as Mary, while on the other are “bad girls,” such as Eve and Jezebel. Just as often, the female characters of the Bible are simply ignored. However, the women of the Bible are complex, multidimensional individuals whose lives are inspiring, funny, and tragic in ways too many of us never hear.
In this first of two volumes, Lynn Japinga acquaints us with the women of the Old Testament. From flawed heroes like Ruth and Rahab to fierce fighters like Deborah and Jael to tragic characters like Jephthah’s daughter and the unnamed concubine of the book of Judges, readers will encounter a wealth of foremothers in the faith in all their messy, yet redeemable, humanity. This Bible study introduces and retells every female character who contributes to one or more Old Testament stories, diving deeply into what each woman’s story means for us today with questions for reflection and discussion.

Fragments Of Light
$16.99From D-Day to present-day, two lives are irrevocably changed by the decision to chase brave or to run away from it.
Cancer stole everything from Ceelie-her peace of mind, her self-image, even her twenty-year marriage to her college sweetheart, Nate. Were it not for the support and cheerleading of her quirky elderly friend, Darlene, she might not have been able to endure so much loss.
When Darlene’s prognosis turns dire, Ceelie can’t refuse her friend’s seemingly impossible request: find a WWII paratrooper named Cal McCallum, the father who disappeared when Darlene was just a toddler and left a lifetime of desolation in his wake.
The search that begins in the farmlands of Missouri eventually leads Ceelie to a small town in Normandy where, with Nate’s unexpected help, she uncovers the harrowing story of a hero who dropped into occupied France in the early hours of D-Day.
As Ceelie and Nate shed new light on Cal’s past, they find in his brokenness their way back to brave.

Were On The Move Now Cycle B
$17.43“Acknowledge your gift. Use your gift for the benefit of others and to the glory of God who has ‘gifted’ you. People may not long remember your name. They may never know your name. But your gift to them will last forever.”
Throughout his collection of Advent centered sermons, Ronald Love reminds us to consider all of the gifts that God has given us and to use that which makes us unique to spread the word of God. Although it might be an intimidating task to preach about Jesus to those who may believe differently, Love calls to mind the talents that God has granted us in order to do just that. He reveals that the idea of preaching to others is not an invitation from the Lord but is instead a commandment from God: “What we have is a mandate to preach the gospel to all individuals.”
Even if you do not believe that you are qualified enough to spread the word, God knows that he chose the right person for the job when he created you and me. Instead of doubting ourselves, love encourages us to be like Paul in his letters to the Corinthians: “Paul’s attitude was that nothing will stop him from proclaiming the good news! Paul’s attitude was that no obstacle would stop him from offering the message of salvation! Paul’s attitude was that he would remain steadfast in his call to be an apostle–an ambassador–for the Lord!”
Sermon titles include:
*Be Near, Ye Faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24)
*The Abounding Grace of God (Ephesians 1:3-14)
*A Child of God (1 Corinthians 8:1-13)This Advent season, remember your talents, and share what you have been given with others in order to spread God’s word, just as Love uses his gifts to help us grow closer to Jesus at the time of his birth.

Ambassadors For Christ Cycle B
$19.93What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ? This is the question that John Jamison asks throughout this Lenten season. During this time where we remember Jesus’ final weeks and actions before his death and resurrection, we must ask ourselves how we can live more like Jesus did, and how we are showing God’s presence to the world? Jamison uses a unique mix of historical fact and modern examples throughout his sermons to show his congregation the many ways that the disciples had lived in Jesus’ example, and how we can do the same. Although we all have those days where we may not act in a way that is befitting of Jesus, Jamison reminds us that there are no requirements for who can be saved by God’s love, for he sent his son to die for all people. So, do what you can today, and do your best to help others using the gifts that God has given you. Remember that nobody is without God’s grace, and that you should love others as you are loved by your Father in heaven.
“The pastor lay awake with the feeling that tonight, he had seen the church as it was meant to be. He had seen those people doing what he believed Jesus would have done. He had been a pastor for many years, but what he saw tonight amazed him. As he walked into his office and joined that nine o’ clock meeting, he was exhausted, but he felt like the church, and he, had been reborn.”
Sermon titles include:
Seventeen sermons based on the Second lessons from the Revised Common Lectionary (Cycle B) for the seasons of Lent and Easter are included in this single volume. The reader will find these messages inspiring, thought-provoking and comforting. The content of this book will be useful for sermon preparation, study groups and for personal devotions.
