Experiencing The Cross
$16.00Dare to Go There
Although the cross is God’s decisive deed in human history, the full meaning of it is far too much for a mere human mind to grasp. But through Henry Blackaby’s careful examination, the cross becomes not a doctrine, but an experience. You’ll be overwhelmed with the utter significance of Christ’s death, leading you to a stronger sense of God’s power in your daily life. Steeped in the Blackaby distinctive of constant encouragement toward your personal experience of God, and firmly rooted in Scripture, this book exposes the tragic result of a casual attitude toward the sin in our lives that made the cross necessary. Learn to surrender to the deeper dimensions of the cross, so that nothing can block the Lord’s presence and power in your life!
Receive the reality. Discover the power.
Live the experience.
Jesus Christ died not so that you would recognize a historical fact. Or memorize a particular doctrine. Or continue with life as is.
No, Christ’s death was God’s decisive deed in your life, conquering sin once and for all. The cross beckons you every day, with power to transform every detail of your existence as you begin to see Calvary from God’s perspective.
Henry Blackaby leads you on an exploration through the deeper dimensions of the cross, ensuring that the further you go, the more you will:
*Deal radically and completely with sin
*Embrace true and lasting union with
*Christ Experience the fullness and reality of His victory in your lifeWill you yield to God’s provision in His cross? Will you receive the power and presence of Jesus Christ? Will you dare to experience the cross?
Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:27
The cross is not just His; the cross is mine, and the cross is yours. It transcends the physical dimension, and it transcends time. As you forgo your limited, human perspective, God’s complete and overwhelming, all-consuming love will envelop you. You’ll experience His blessings as they’ve never been seen, heard, or felt before-guaranteed. Because t he One who called you to bear your cross also goes with you. Every step of the way.
Story Behind the Book

Gospel According To Oprah
$21.00Oprah Winfrey is arguably the most well-known and well-liked woman in the world today. Her daily television show reaches millions of viewers, and if you include her magazine, website, book club, television network, and movie production company, her influence is without compare. Indeed, she has been nicknamed “The Queen of All Media.” In this book, religion reporter Marcia Nelson explores the spiritual dimensions that are prevalent in all aspects of the Oprah Winfrey media empire. Though Oprah is rarely explicitly religious on her television show or magazine, Nelson points out that there are several major Christian themes that weave through these aspects of her life and work: confession, redemption, healing, mission, forgiveness, and salvation. Nelson concludes that Oprah is a “compelling spiritual teacher in a spiritually eclectic and ever-practical America.” This book will appeal both to Oprah fans and people who are fascinated by the intersection of religion and popular culture.

New Normal : Living A Fear Free Life In A Fear Driven World
$9.99Twin Towers Down, New Hope on the Rise
When the Twin Towers fell, a whole new world of fear and doubt emerged. “Where is God in all of this?” we ask. To be constantly on guard against terrorist attacks, not to mention crises that hit us on a personal level, is exhausting. But in the midst of this “new normal” world of fear, one thing remains the same: God still reigns. While we may be tempted to turn to food, shopping, busyness, even family, God is the only answer we can count on. He is our source for peace, comfort, and confidence in the midst of chaos. Jill Briscoe encourages the hurting and weary to run unencumbered into the arms of God. And this all-encompassing peace that may seem so elusive right now will become yours to stay.
Escape Fear
Expand Faith
Embrace the Future
Where is God in the midst of our world’s catastrophic events? Where is God in the midst of our deepest pain?
We may think we’re getting along with God, until a 9/11 happens. Global or personal, tragedy wreaks havoc on our souls. How are you supposed to trust the One letting it all happen?
The New Normal won’t give you pat answers. But it will guide you to a place of security in the face of inexplicable calamity. By being honest about your anxieties, willing to respond to God’s instruction, and ready to take a leap of faith, you’ll find a new, hope-filled future waiting for you. It’s the new normal you’ve been longing for.

The second is to begin where you are.”
Each chapter of In God We Trust, the last book written by Dr. Peale before he died in 1993, is full of positive, powerful aspirations.
“When problems confront you,” Dr. Peale says, “you must not allow your mind to acquiesce in defeat, weakly giving up. What seems impossible one minute becomes, through faith, possible the next.”

Soul Searching : The Religious And Spiritual Lives Of American Teenagers
$140.00Winner of the 2006 Christianity Today Book Award for Christianity and Culture Description
In most discussions and analyses of American teenage life, one major topic is curiously overlooked–religion. Yet most American teens say that religious faith is important in their lives. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? What religious practices do they engage in? Do they expect to remain loyal to the faith of their parents? Or are they abandoning traditional religious institutions in search of a new, more “authentic” spirituality?
Answering these and many other questions, Soul Searching tells the definitive story of the religious and spiritual lives of contemporary American teenagers. It reports the findings of The National Study of Youth and Religion, the largest and most detailed such study ever undertaken. Based on a nationwide telephone survey of teens and their parents, as well as in-depth face-to-face interviews with more than 250 of the survey respondents, Soul Searching shows that religion is indeed a significant factor in the lives of many American teenagers. Chock full of carefully interpreted interview data and solid survey statistics, Soul Searching reveals many surprising findings. For example, the authors find that teenagers are far more influenced by the religious beliefs and practices of their parents and other adults than is commonly thought. They challenge the conventional wisdom that many teens today are “spiritual seekers.” And they show that greater teenage religious involvement is significantly associated with more positive adolescent life outcomes.
Soul Searching reveals the complexity of contemporary teenage religious life, showing that religion is widely practiced and positively valued by teens, but also de-prioritized and very poorly understood by them, yet significant nonetheless in shaping their lives. More broadly, Soul Searching describes what appears to be a major transformation of faith in the U.S., away from the substance of historical religious traditions and toward a new and quite different faith the authors call “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

How Christianity Changed The World

Training In Christianity
$19.00This indispensable guide to the search for kinship with God was written by the great nineteenth-century Danish philosopher Sren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), whose writings set the stage for existentialism and continue to exert a lasting influence on believers and nonbelievers alike.
Kierkegaard struck out against all forms of established order-including the established church-that work to make men complacent with themselves and thereby obscure their personal responsibility to encounter God. He considered Training in Christianity his most important book. It represented his effort to replace what he believed had become “an amiable, sentimental paganism” with authentic Christianity. Kierkegaard’s challenge to live out the implications of Christianity in the most personal decisions of life will greatly appeal to readers today who are trying to develop their personal integrity in accordance with the truths of revealed religion.

You Can Let Go Now
$18.99When the second twin emerged from Rebekah’s womb, he was holding onto the heel of his brother Esau. Isaac and Rebekah aptly named him Jacob, meaning “heel-grabber.” For many years this name would be his destiny, until he was able to let go of a hollow existence and instead grasp his true destiny as a prince among men. Just like Jacob, we struggle with the quest for significance, often settling for a life never intended for us. But through the teaching of Mark Chironna, we can learn by Jacob’s example to let go of the things that hinder us to become our true selves in Christ. Specific chapter topics include instruction on how to let go of the need to be first, getting ahead of yourself, selling yourself short, the pain of rejection, your unfinished business, and more.
