Pain Of A Particular Kind
$10.00There are few things which any parent dreads more than the thought of outliving his or her child, or grandchild. The deaths of parents, friends, relatives and even one’s spouse are terrible indeed, but the death of one’s child possesses a peculiar kind of horror.
In four brief chapters, Peter Barnes draws on his own experience to offer help to those who have suffered such a loss. As he says in the Introduction, ‘This is not a work of apologetics, but a brief attempt to understand and work through grief, for myself, my family, and for any other readers. It has only heightened the sense of my own need to receive comfort myself. Such comfort can only come from the God who is our creator and our redeemer. The hope remains that God will use this book to minister to and bless any of his people who have suffered the agony of losing a child.’

Wine In The Word Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video
$21.99Why should you watch a video Bible study about wine in the Bible? What role might wine have in the life of a Christian, or even in the life of the church? As Christians, aren’t we committed to truly spiritual things, building up the body of Christ and seeing the Kingdom of God coming down to earth? Surely wine doesn’t have anything to do with that. Doesn’t the apostle Paul even remind us that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking but about spiritual things such as righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17)?
Does it surprise you that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine? He miracled forth such an abundance of really high-end, high quality wine at a Jewish peasant wedding feast that the sommelier at the party was astounded. Did you know that Jesus drank four cups of wine when he celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples? He was known to hang out with the rough-and-ready of society, enjoying wine with saints and sinners alike. He surely did not fit into the spiritual vision of his own people and offended the religious status quo seemingly wherever he went.
Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea that wine is a spiritual gift? Perhaps you feel slightly sinful for indulging in a glass of wine or overly afraid that wine might be the devil’s tool of temptation. And we’ve all seen the abuses that can happen with alcohol. But, whatever your own personal background might be, these beautiful and mysterious worlds of wine and the Christian faith should have never been severed from one another. They belong together ever since Noah planted his first vineyard close to Mount Ararat. Though Noah was also the first person in the Bible to get drunk, his vocation as a vintner set the stage for wine to become the most talked about food in the Bible.
In this six-session video Bible study, scholar and author Gisela H. Kreglinger and pastor and author Randy Frazee will help you discover how wine and the Christian life fit together. They will help you learn about how we can reclaim wine as a gift from God. They will introduce you to wine as a spiritual gift. God gave the overflowing cup of wine to bless us, to bring us joy, and to help us draw near to him. This Bible study will inspire you to experience more fully one of God’s earthly gifts and help you to commune more deeply with the Creator of all good things.

Shining Men : A Novel
$21.16How could Joshua possibly hope to take on the mantle of leading the nation of Israel, walking in the footsteps of Moses, the remarkable man of God who he had served for forty years?
It seemed like an impossible task.
In the third and final book of The Wilderness Series, Joshua is aided by Yahweh’s celestial messengers, the ‘shining men’, as he leads his people into Canaan to possess their promised land.
This extraordinary warrior leader would see the sun stand still at his command and watch the mighty walls of Jericho fall. However, his greatest adversary would not be a Canaanite warrior, but a harlot named Rahab who would capture his heart and turn his world upside down.
The Shining Men by Nicky Heymans is the exciting conclusion to the inspiring religious fiction series about the courage, humility and devotion of the military hero, Joshua ben Nun, as he completes his life-long mission and finds his place of eternal rest.

Healthy Calling : From Toxic Burnout To Sustainable Work
$19.99When You Don’t Know Who You Are Anymore
Research shows that people who have a sense of calling are more productive, motivated, and resilient than their peers. But they are also more likely to experience the physical, mental, and spiritual exhaustion of burnout. When they do, the impact is more severe and disorienting. Burnout often starts from something very good: a passionate commitment to meaningful work and the skill to make it a reality. But the dark side of calling is that passion and skill without boundaries are like matches to a dry forest, at risk for devastating destruction.
How can we pursue our callings while managing our risk for burnout? Communication and workplace expert Arianna Molloy explores the nature of a healthy calling and the surprising key to unlocking a more sustainable approach. Humility is essential to a healthy calling, one that involves knowing yourself well, being teachable, and embracing the vulnerability of consistently taking time to rest and reflect. Molloy identifies essential practices and disciplines to recalibrate your calling and transform your work, relationships, and life.
You don’t have to feel stuck and alone, disoriented in the dark. Let the Caller turn on the lights and return you to health.

Happy Lies : How A Movement You Probably Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obs
$19.99In this groundbreaking book, popular apologist Melissa Dougherty helps us understand how our society got to be so toxically subjective, why endless positivity is inherently destructive, and how we can live with faithful truth and genuine love in these self-obsessed times.
Have you ever wondered how we ended up in a world where personal feelings could become the authority for reality? Or why so many of us are on a relentless pursuit for happiness yet somehow feel more exhausted and sadder than ever? You’re not alone.
Melissa deftly traces the roots of today’s social chaos back to a little-known (but very influential) 1800s philosophy known as New Thought. A former follower of its teachings, Melissa provides clarity and compassion mixed with a dash of loving snark as she exposes New Thought’s deceptions and its many concerning tendrils within the church and our “self-help” culture.
You’ll be shocked, grieved, and encouraged as you learn:
*How you can experience true freedom, hope, and peace instead of the world’s counterfeits
*How an anti-God ideology so easily hijacked Christian-sounding ideas
*Why thinking positively is entirely different from the unbiblical and burdensome “positive thought” movement
*Why fake “authenticity” short-circuits real redemption
*How understanding the New Thought mindset can help us share our faith more effectively
Uncover a dangerous ideology that nearly everyone has met, yet few of us can name, in order to better understand our culture and joyfully live faithful to the gospel that is so much better than our world’s Happy Lies.

Fix Workbook : How The Twelve Steps Offer A Surprising Path Of Transformati (Wor
$19.99Life can get messy and painful just when we think we’re doing well. Roots of personal and generational trauma can break the surface again unexpectedly.
It happened to Ian Morgan Cron in the form of a relapse at an unlikely time in his life: thirty years of sobriety from alcohol, the happy surprise of publishing success, life going well by most measures. Yet despite all his hard work processing the past, it came back to bite him. He began self-medicating under cover of prescription drugs and landed in residential rehab.
In The Fix Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Ian employs his characteristic humor and pithy wit–along with some agonizing self-disclosure–to guide readers through his own mid-life double-take on the 12 Steps. Yes, they save the lives of addicts by getting users into sobriety. But they also lead individuals into profound spiritual awakenings, as millions of members across eight decades of AA history have testified.
“I’m not an addiction counselor. I’m not a researcher into the science of addiction. I’m not a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating people with substance-use disorders,” writes Ian. “But my relapse and the solution I found for it are fresh and vivid in my mind. What I’ve gleaned is worth more to me now than ever. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked you to come with me on this journey. If you don’t mind following a gimpy guide who can help you trudge the road to recovery, then I’m your guy.”

Prone To Wander
$16.99God meets us in the wilderness.
Though most of us have never wandered a literal desert for forty years, we have all spent some time wandering in a wilderness of one kind or another. So, too, have many women across the pages of the Bible. In their stories of doubt and questioning, of dryness and distance, we can find guideposts for the inevitable wilderness periods in our own lives. As we enter into the wilderness season of the church year, this Lenten devotional by Joanna Harader explores the stories of thirty biblical women–from Eve to Mary Magdalene–who had their own such experiences. For some, the women inhabited a literal wilderness. For others, their wilderness was metaphorical. All were drawn closer to God, who does not leave us to wander alone.
?
Embark on a Lenten journey with these women in the wilderness through daily reflections, prayer practices, and questions, as well as Sunday blessings accompanied by beautiful hand-cut paper artwork by Michelle Burkholder. From the author of Expecting Emmanuel, Prone to Wander provides resources for using the book in group and worship settings.
As you consider these women who inhabited a swath of wilderness spaces, draw closer to the God who met them–and meets you–there.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

3 Seconds Of Courage
$66.65Riley Kehoe is no stranger to fear. At 10 years old, she survived the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami in Thailand. After that traumatic event killed nearly 230,000 people, she began asking herself each day, What do I want to do with this gift of life I’ve been given? She realized that she could let fear rule over her–or she could choose to have courage.
Sharing her remarkable personal story, Riley shows you how small acts of bravery can change your life in ways you can’t imagine. They can mean the difference between a life of isolation or one of connection, between playing it safe or taking a bold step forward, between being self-focused or reaching out to help others, between holding a grudge or offering and accepting forgiveness.
Filled with dramatic and touching stories–such as when Riley performed CPR on a drowned man and brought him back to life and when she climbed onto the ledge of a bridge to talk a young man out of jumping–this book will inspire you to approach every day with a spirit of courage, possibility, and hope.

In From Wilderness to Glory, best-selling and beloved author N. T. Wright encourages readers to do just that throughout the seasons of Lent and Easter.
Wright opens each day’s devotion with a carefully chosen Scripture selection, and then provides his insightful reflection that not only digs into the reading but also highlights how today’s Christians experience the gospel.

Households Of Faith
$19.99A Holistic Vision of Family in God’s Kingdom
The Christian world tends to have a blueprint for what families should look like, and these models of the family can be hard to live up to. In some circles, picture-perfect families are idealized and even idolatrized. Many Christians have a gnawing sense that this “traditional family” model is problematic or outdated. But is there an alternative way of understanding family that’s neither idolatrous nor revisionist?
Theologian Emily McGowin casts a holistic vision for what family can be in light of God’s kingdom. Jesus is our first teacher about families in the kingdom of God, and families rightly understand themselves only in relation to God’s kingdom and the church.
In Households of Faith, McGowin:
*recovers biblical portraits of households of faith that are not limited to just the biological nuclear family, that can be multigenerational households of married and single, with or without children,
*acknowledges the realities of how sin and trauma damages families and communities, and
*calls Christians to practice family as apprentices to love who discern the times and improvise faithfulness together.

Loyal In His Love

Rejection is inevitable. Yet we spend little time considering the significant impact it makes on an individual’s whole self.

But rejection–like abandonment, betrayal, and estrangement–leaves aching wounds that challenge and forge our most intimate thoughts of who we believe God, others, and ourselves to be.
In Loyal in His Love, Tabitha Panariso blends biblical truth, candid personal stories, and timeless wisdom forged through personal experience and her vocation as a therapist to invite readers into a new way of living. The heart that suffers rejection can’t be cured. It must be resuscitated. Its condition warrants more than just platitudes–it merits the full attention of a loyal and loving God.
This isn’t just another Christian self-help book. Though Tabitha makes ample room for the hurting to process their own stories, points them to God’s faithfulness, and challenges the way they think–she doesn’t stop there. Jesus lived a life and death marked by rejection. Yet we remember Him for His compassion and generosity. He was and is proof that we could be remembered that way too. Thus, Tabitha guides readers through the life and death of Jesus as a means of counter-cultural response to the pain of rejection.
Loyal in His Love ends squarely on the triumph of Christ’s resurrection–not just as an antidote but a daily supplement. His restoration is ours–alive and active in our hearts, bodies, and lives. Each devastating moment of rejection is an opportunity to build bridges that will lead us into and through living hope and transformation.

Lead With Prayer
$18.99Discover the prayer habits of world-changing leaders that will transform your life and your leadership.
Experienced leaders will tell you that you can’t lead on your own. The pressure, the impossible decisions, the high risks, the temptations, the people, the overwhelming schedule-it’s too much. Some leaders seek outside help. They pray.
Looking for help in their own leadership, entrepreneur Ryan Skoog, CEO Peter Greer, and executive advisor Cameron Doolittle set out to investigate how leaders pray. What do they say to God? How often do they pray, and for how long? Where do they pray? And how on earth do they make time for prayer? Skoog, Greer, and Doolittle spent three years researching. They logged over one hundred hours of interviews with leaders in six continents who collectively serve in over one hundred countries. They researched or spoke with global entrepreneurs and business executives of Fortune 500 companies, as well as some of the most influential pastors and ministry leaders in the world-leaders such as:
*Joni Eareckson Tada
*Philip Yancey
*Francis Chan
*John Mark Comer
*Christine Caine
*David Green
*Mark Batterson
*Among countless others.Here in this book, the authors share the spiritual habits, techniques, and practices of these world-changing leaders, revealing specific details of their prayer lives. In addition, the book includes prayers for leaders to use in their own prayer time as well as tools for how to cultivate a personal and organizational commitment to prayer.
By allowing these men and women to lead us in prayer, we learn not only how to pray but also how to build a culture of prayer wherever we lead. It is only when our businesses, ministries, and churches pray that they will be transformed.

Safe Church : How To Guard Against Sexism And Abuse In Christian Communitie
$66.65If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that by and large the church has failed women. From sexual abuse scandals involving high-profile pastors, to decades-long systemic cover-ups of sexual harassment and mistreatment, to harmful theology that has driven women to leave the church and find community elsewhere, it’s clear that something is broken. If we want to fix it, it’s time we start listening.
Drawing on new, firsthand research and in-depth interviews, Safe Church allows women to voice the pain they have suffered at the hands of insecure leaders who were often unaware of how their words, actions, and attitudes were harming their sisters in Christ. With practical advice on how to create more equity and less sexism and abuse in the church, this honest look at how misogyny masquerades as biblical truth is a vital resource for pastors, church leaders, and anyone who wants to make a meaningful difference in their own Christian community.

Reckoning With History
$30.00Reckoning with History is a hard, haunting, and hopeful history that will leave an indelible mark and transform your understanding of both Christianity and the United States.
A hard, haunting, and hopeful history that will leave an indelible mark and transform your understanding of both Christianity and the United States.Reckoning with History confronts the histories of settler colonialism and slavery and illumines how these two devastating realities informed and ultimately deformed Protestant Christianity in the North American colonies and antebellum United States. In this book, William Yoo analyzes primary sources from Indigenous, African, European, and American perspectives to construct a narrative that honors the stories of Indigenous peoples, enslaved and free persons of African descent, Indigenous rights advocates, and abolitionists. The book’s broad scope-which covers individuals and movements representing Baptists, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterians, and other Christian traditions-provides a timely and telling message for every Christian seeking racial justice today.
This urgently needed book expresses a powerful call for reformation and change within American Christianity that is grounded in precise research and compelling prose. It explains how Christians engaged the sinful realities of Indigenous land dispossession and Black enslavement, shaping American Christianity in distinctive and enduring ways. It further underscores how white Christians justified land theft and racial oppression against Indigenous and Black persons with scriptural interpretations and theological expositions that remade Christianity into an American religion that bolstered economic, political, and social interests. Along the way, Yoo also features inspiring accounts of resistance to the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the westward expansion of slavery. A final chapter draws lessons from these histories for the possibilities of what ministries of racial justice could be in American churches today. Yoo integrates cogent historical analysis with contemporary lessons for Christians that make Reckoning with History a definitive resource for understanding racism and pursuing racial justice in the United States.
A hard, haunting, and hopeful history that will leave an indelible mark and transform your understanding of both Christianity and the United States.

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.

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.

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

Heretic : The Many Lives And Deaths Of Jesus Christ
$32.50Contrary to the teachings of the church today, in the first several centuries of Christianity’s existence, there was no consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. Instead, there were many different Christs. One had a twin brother and traveled to India; another consorted with dragons. One particularly terrifying Christ scorned his parents and killed those who opposed him.
Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviors, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view.
Heretic unearths the different versions of Christ who existed in the minds of early Christians, and the process of evolution–and elimination–by which Jesus became the singular figure we know today.

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.

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.

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.

Final Days : A Lenten Journey Through The Gospels
$17.99This Lent ponder the themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love. 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. Other components for the study include a leader guide, and teaching video are available.

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.

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.

Prophet In The Darkness
$36.99Many consider Georges Rouault (1871-1958) to be one of the most important religious painters of the last few centuries. Yet both the secular art world and the church have struggled to engage with his work, which is profoundly shaped by his Christian faith and also starkly explores the pain and darkness of human experience.
In this volume, a group of theologians, artists, and historians seek to bring Rouault out of the shadows. They offer a deeper understanding of the theological impulse of modern art and of Rouault’s distinct contributions. Chapters explore how Rouault’s unique work was influenced by his historical context, by personal suffering, and by biblical themes, especially the Passion of Christ. Essays are interspersed with original artistic responses to Rouault in the form of images and poetry, with contributions from Sandra Bowden, William A. Dyrness, Thomas Hibbs, Soo Kang, and others.
Rouault displays our need for mercy within a world of anguish. This book explores how his prophetic creativity continues to inspire artists and thinkers seeking to understand the powerful intersection of lament and hope.
The Studies in Theology and the Arts? series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.

Skills For Safeguarding
$49.99The Only Textbook on Safeguarding for Faith-Based Ministries and Seminaries
Christians are called to care for the vulnerable, but churches have not always led the way in becoming places safe from abuse. Increasingly, organizations and churches are recognizing the importance of the field of safeguarding: training and equipping people to prevent abuse, act when abuse happens, and promote healing for survivors.
Lisa Compton and Taylor Patterson have edited the first textbook on safeguarding designed specifically for faith-based ministries and seminaries. In Skills for Safeguarding, experts from universities around the world have contributed on topics in their areas of expertise. This book:
*provides an understanding of trauma and abuse from a Christian integration perspective;
*gives insight into perpetrator dynamics and systems that enable abuse;
*teaches skills necessary to interact with victims and their families;
*includes questions for self-reflection and discussion; and more.Safeguarders can be individuals hired by the church in a vocational role, but they can also be pastors and other church leaders, laypeople, mental health professionals, and anyone who desires to promote a safe environment. Ideally, every adult in the church should recognize their responsibility to safeguard and seek to grow in skills to better serve abuse survivors and cultivate a culture that protects the vulnerable. This book provides the essential starting place.

Markus Barth : His Life And Legacy
$39.99A Definitive Biography of the Twentieth-Century Thinker
“Certainly, in all my work my dependence upon my father will be visible, and, so I hope, a testimony to his life’s work will be given. But on the whole, I have never attempted simply to represent or promote his work, but rather within the narrow frame of my competence in exegetical matters, to contribute to it.” -Markus Barth, 1985
Though he has long been undervalued and remained in the shadow of his famous father, Markus Barth was a significant, groundbreaking thinker in his own right. He was a pastor, New Testament scholar, and theologian working in both Switzerland (Basel) and the United States (Dubuque, Chicago, and Pittsburgh), whose life intertwined with major developments in theology and modern history.
In this book, theologian Mark Lindsay provides the first biography of Markus Barth (1915-1994), eldest son of Karl Barth. Drawing from a hitherto unparalleled access to the extensive collection of Markus Barth’s private letters and papers, including those in the Special Collections at Princeton Theological Seminary, Lindsay puts Barth’s story and thought into historical context. He explores multiple aspects of Barth’s life, including family and early years, pastoral work, scholarship, and enduring legacy. Lindsay identifies three main areas of Barth’s contributions: his New Testament scholarship; his theology of the sacraments; and his pioneering, though not uncontroversial, work in Jewish-Christian relations.

Pretending To Be The Mountain Mans Wife
$16.95A Misty M. Beller Books Inc. Title
In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, second chances…and a hidden fortune.
Determined to find his missing brother and stop the elusive mastermind behind the theft of his family’s sapphires, Gil Coulter embarks on a solo mission to the remote town near where the criminal is rumored to reside. As Gil scours the surrounding wilderness for the thief’s hidden lair, the last thing he expects to find is a captivating and vulnerable young woman.
Confined to a remote catacomb of caves and the mountain wilderness around it, Jess McPharland is surrounded by brutal men employed in her father’s illicit mining operation. Her last attempt to escape only made things worse and confirmed a secret she can’t hide much longer. She’ll soon be forced into a life more horrific than what she’s known. Jess will do anything to break free before her fears come true.
When she encounters Gil on the hidden mountain trail-and he’s seeking the very criminal she calls Father-she must convince this stranger to pose as her husband and help her escape. And she has one card to play-she knows where his brother is.
As Gil and Jess navigate the treacherous landscape-and people-they find themselves caught in a web of danger, deception, and unexpected attraction. With each passing moment, the stakes grow higher, and the line between pretense and truth blurs. Will the love growing between them be enough to survive Jess’s secret and lead them to the justice Gil seeks, or will her father’s greed destroy everything they’ve risked their lives to protect?
From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain saga filled with high-stakes adventure, a pretend marriage, a secret baby, and love that heals wounded hearts.

Do you find yourself longing for a word or touch from God? For a moment of clarity in His presence? Do you wonder why the stories of divine encounters you read in the Bible don’t happen in today’s world?
In the age of information and man-made wonders, we’ve replaced a vibrant relationship with God with a stale religion about God. We’ve disconnected from His Presence–and our lives show it.

In Search Of The Holy
$19.99In Search of the Holy paints a picture of a full and complete life-a life that lives up to our craziest childhood dreams.
But rather than freewheeling pursuit of some individual ideal, the hero life comes from an old concept, freshly relevant again today, called “holiness.”
When a lot of regular people think about being “holy”, they think about keeping the Ten Commandments. But the Ten Commandments are impossible. If the self-proclaimed holy rollers can’t keep God’s commandments, regular people don’t have a chance.
The good news is that in the Bible, being “holy” doesn’t mean being pious or “good enough.” It means to be “set apart for a special purpose”. The antonym not profane or obscene; it is “ordinary.”
And we don’t get there by following a set of rules, but by following the One who was there when the rules were written, Jesus. What makes life exciting is who we worship, what we believe, and how we live-all of these are connected. Following Jesus turns life from ordinary to extraordinary as His love and grace change us from the inside out.

Beyond Our Control
$19.99Realizing how little control we have over our lives can make us fearful and anxious–or it can lead to greater intimacy with God, a richer prayer life, and a joyful eternal perspective.
Seasons of grief, pain, and loss of control are inevitable. Despite our best efforts and steadfast faith, reality rarely matches our expectations. In an unpredictable and broken world, how do we cling to a foundation that provides purpose for today and hope for the future?
In their new book, Beyond Our Control, Michael and Lauren McAfee show us how trusting God brings greater contentment than the illusion of control. With deep and abiding faith, the McAfees draw on their experiences with adoption, infertility, illness, and loss to help readers navigate unexpected circumstances. Offering biblical insights and their powerful story of pain and providence, Michael and Lauren know that no matter what happens–to their family, work, or ministry–everything is as it should be because God is in control, and he is good.
The McAfees help us:
*recognize the illusion of control and how it leads to greater anxiety;
*understand why glorifying God is the richest expectation we can have for our lives;
*realize that Jesus’ pain on the cross brings hope and healing to the pain we experience now;
*practice the profoundly comforting spiritual discipline of lament, which makes room for us to process grief; and
*use times of loss to make more room for God’s work of growing and sanctifying us.
If you struggle to embrace the life you have rather than the life you wanted, this book invites you to find a deeper peace in God than you could have imagined.

Scot McKnight explores the books of 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude and shows how the most demanding challenge for early believers in Jesus Christ was how to live as a Christian in the Roman empire–how a household was to live, how to respond to suffering, how to live a holy life, and how to maintain faithfulness to the truths of the gospel.
In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides:
*Original Meaning. Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage.
*Fresh Interpretation. Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus.

The NIV is used as the primary Bible text, but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.
