Pick A God Any God
$21.23
It is peculiar we Americans take the notion of God so lightly. And many who do have a real interest are shedding the skin of traditional Christianity, hoping to reinvest in a more tolerant “higher power.” But the religious world is littered with contradictions, absurdities, and mediocrity, and a lifetime of God-swapping has left a lot of hearts full of emptiness. Pick a God, any God encourages the reader to bear in mind that: No religion can be wholly understood by following its followers. The “all ideas about God are right” approach is not only implausible, it’s impossible. The truth can sometimes feel “foreign” because it is not manmade. If half of the world’s population denies the existence of God, that doesnt make Him go away. Just the same, no amount of wishing will make Him real. We tend to dilute the majesty of God in our quest to fully understand Him. Because we treat our opinions as though they replace truth, our inquiry into real truth becomes sedated. We must refuse to be ignorant. If we choose to customize God, He will become whatever we decide. We have then become His creator. He will house our limitations, our inconsistencies, and our mortality. Our God will be us. So, just about the time we may need him the most, he’ll be dead. www.pickagod.com

God For The Rest Of Us Pastors DVD Kit
$19.99The Pharisees called Jesus “a friend of sinners.” He took it as a compliment. Would you?

The Pastor’s Kit includes everything needed to plan a six-week teaching series around the concepts presented in the Small Group Study. It includes:
Special video message for pastors
Video guide for implementing a church-wide program
Six sermon outlines

Weight Of Glory
$16.99Selected from sermons delivered by C. S. Lewis during World War II, these nine addresses show the beloved author and theologian bringing hope and courage in a time of great doubt. “The Weight of Glory,” considered by many to be Lewis’s finest sermon of all, is an incomparable explication of virtue, goodness, desire, and glory. Also included are “Transposition,” “On Forgiveness,” “Why I Am Not a Pacifist,” and “Learning in War-Time,” in which Lewis presents his compassionate vision of Christianity in language that is both lucid and compelling.
