For The Love Of Learning
$22.99Add to cartAfter more than twenty years homeschooling my children and other people’s children, I am a passionate believer in the combined Charlotte Mason-Classical Education approach to education. I have four grown children and five grandchildren with number six on the way. I started a used homeschool bookstore in 1990 that grew so much that it became the oldest and the largest one in the country. I have discussed every method of homeschooling imaginable with thousands of people nationwide, and I am adamant that this is the best method out there. It will develop a natural “love of learning” that the children will thrive on. I give you a synopsis of both Charlotte Mason and Classical Education and then proceed to show you the similarities and differences and how they can be lovingly combined to give the children a “love of learning” that will never end. I also give you a book list and resources by subject that are not typically found in other lists for your information and use. Anyone who wants to nurture and develop their child’s natural “love of learning” will benefit from this book.

Realm Without Rules
$16.99Add to cartThere is no rule you can make to change human behavior. People will do what they want unless their attitude changes. This book has drawn from Leviticus chapter 11 (unclean and clean animals). Each animal represents an attitude, negative or positive. We are what we eat. If we do not eat of Christ’s attitudes, we cannot minister Him to others. Take a journey on a new road the Father wants you to be, a Father pleaser, in whom He is well pleased. May God give the church a new mind-set self-seeking ways, but that finds the Father’s will and purpose for our lives.

Bible And The Comic Vision
$22.00Add to cartThis insightful work examines the variety of ways comedy is employed in the Old Testament. Biblical comedy unveils “a comic vision that oscillates between attack and affirmation, corrective and celebration, ridicule and revel.” Here Whedbee reveals the subtle uses of parody and satire to subversive effect in six biblical books. But “the Bible characteristically does not stop with subversion, for the texts usually drive on toward an affirmation of life and celebration of the wonder and hopefulness of creation. In sum, subversion an celebration typically belong together in a comprehensive view of biblical comedy: subversion often serving to undercut and clear away obstacles to the realization of fertility and forgiveness; and celebration finding expression in festivals of freedom and hope.”

My Body Is The Temple
$17.49Add to cart“My Body is The Temple: Encounters and Revelations of Sacred Dance and Artistry” is the manifestation of a divine connection between holiness, Sacred Artistry, and transformation-both of oneself and one’s surroundings. It focuses on the sometimes painful, yet eternal benefits afforded to those who dare to keep his or her WHOLE body “Holy Unto the Lord”. In doing so, the Holy Spirit freely provides untapped revelation on God’s secret weapon-our bodies, in which He uses both evangelistically and prophetically in the Arts, in worship, in dreams, and in natural and supernatural spiritual warfare. Within the pages of this book on sacred dance and artistry, ministers, pastors, and laypersons alike obtain a global perspective on the powerful impact that anointed, Sacred Dance can have on one’s spirit, health, household, church, culture, and nation. Spiritual leaders and ministers will especially be drawn to this book, as it provides sound, biblical teaching on the call and authenticity of dance as ministry. It positions the Arts to reclaim its rightful place within the local church and the World. This work is the first of its kind and caliber to be written from a culturally diverse, yet Christian perspective. Students and professors of Christian Arts institutions, seminaries, Bible colleges, and sacred dance ministries will discover a supernatural, unconventional approach to understanding how God uses His creative, artistic Mind to bring about Kingdom purposes. This book can easily be recommended as a required course text in ministerial training on topics related to the various dimensions of worship, Arts, liturgy and inter-cultural ministry.

There Must Be More
$13.49Add to cartMy book was birthed out of an intense longing for more of God than what most of the Church world offers today. There is so much more available than what we have. If you have ever left church wondering, “Is that it, is that all there is?” then this book is a must read for you! My purpose is to challenge you to a deeper commitment and that our church leaders put more on the spiritual table than is being offered. We no longer have to be mediocre Christians, but we can be all God said we could be. We are not just left to read about what God did in the past, but we can cry out to Him, “You are my God also. I want to see You work in my time.” Not only will God hear, He will show His hand strong on our behalf! I offer answers to some difficult questions such as: IS THERE REVIVAL IN AMERICA, OR ARE CHRISTIANS JUST BEING PROSELYTIZED TO LARGE CHURCHES? CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS: WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? CHRISTIANS AND MONEY: HAVE WE TAKEN IT TOO FAR? Finally, we conclude with God’s promise of revival before the end-time and with the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise to provide us a heavenly home. In Ecclesiastes 7:8 God said our end would be better than our beginning and Ezekiel 36:11 declares He will do better unto you than at your beginning: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. -C.W. Minor

By The Way
$13.49Add to cartThis book is a provocative look at the “who”, “what”, “when”, “where” and “why” of those who have fallen by the wayside and have matriculated into the abyss of hopelessness and despair. An indictment is issued to the churches that should be praying and seeking the peace of their inner cities, and who are not. Special focus is given in the first chapter on how the traditional church has missed the mark of the highway and hedge ministry of Jesus’ commission. As you continue exploring the text you will find the unfortunate acceptance of the generational strongholds of poverty, distorted perceptions of self, and eventual self-destruction passed on by previous generation.

How To Be A Christian Without Being Religious (Reprinted)
$15.00Add to cartSince the days of the early church, Christians have struggled to find a way to be “good”–to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what’s more, their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world–bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour’s study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not people reaching up, but God reaching down. All Christians can enjoy their birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope, joy, power, and potential.

Kissed The Girls And Made Them Cry
$18.99Add to cartGod wants to move us beyond the restraint of the law (which arouses sin) and plant us into a garden of longing–where our sexuality and passion is carefully guarded and cultivated until the time for its awakening.
How far can I go? It’s the question of a generation wanting straight answers. Often the very questions we ask reveal our hearts better than anything else. In Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry, Lisa Bevere tackles these tough issues by moving us from rules to relationship. There is no question we need a renewal of purity, but what we’re doing is not working.
How far can you go? Ask yourself: What do you ultimately want? Immediate and temporary gratification that wanes with the passage of time? Or passion and exclusive intimacy that endures and intensifies?
God wants to move us beyond the restraint of the law (which arouses sin) and plant us into a garden of longing — where our sexuality and passion is carefully guarded and cultivated until the time for its awakening. This is a book for every daughter in waiting and every woman who has never known desire in her life and marriage.

Relationships : A Bridge Or A Burden
$14.99Add to cartThe knowledge necessary to master relationships is yours! Everything that has or will be accomplished occurred through the successful conveyance and power of relationships. A relationship whether business, family, or interpersonal, is defined as the state or fact of being associated or connected; allied by kinship, marriage, common origin, or goals. As this definition implies, being able to assess the capability, compatibility, and sincerity of others is critical to the accomplishment of set goals. “No man is an island, entire of itself; everyman is a piece of the continent, a part of the main,…” as the old proverb further explains, causes us to see the ultimate need for deciding upon and choosing the significant others to fill the various forums of our lives (John Donne, 1572-1631)In this book, author George M. Matthews, II explains through insightful study of the scriptures: Why Satan attacks people who are in relationship with you, understanding how your next accomplishment depends on who you know, God’s purpose for designing relationships, the benefit of God-ordained relationships, the key to producing a harmonious flow in relationships, how and when to let go of destructive relationships. Discover the ability to succeed by taking control and becoming a better steward of the process of allowing the entrance of others into every area of your life. “For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself…” (Romans 14:7).

Almighty God stands undaunted, eternal and infinite, and the ship a relic of scrap.

Who Is Your God
$14.99Add to cartA study on the “Names of God” was birthed in my heart about five years ago. In the fall of 2000, God let me know through prayer that I needed to get the study done and to put it in book form. Philippians 4:13: “I can do everything through him who gives me strength,” NIV. I was totally dependent upon God for His direction for this project. I am a mother of four children-one has been promoted to heaven. I have been in full-time ministry with my husband, Ron, for thirty years. With the challenges of being a pastor’s wife and having two special needs children to care for, God has truly become my dearest friend. When praying for further direction for this project, I felt I was to tell my story. I do not have an extra special story, but I did learn how to put each of the 355 names of God to work in my daily life. God let me know this study, and my experiences, were to help others deal with sickness and death, and to help people with special needs children or friends. Each one of the names of God, or His characteristics, became my encouragement and my source of strength to face each day. I have searched out 355 “Names of God” with Bible references and verses, and with Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate definitions. I will be the first to admit there could be more “Names of God”. God is not limited to just these names-He’s limitless! I have had to lean on God for so much that each one of the “Names of God” has become part of my life.

More God
$16.49Add to cartMemories of a scratchy starched dress, a cold church and baffling Sunday school lessons provided little foundation for a practical faith, so its not surprising that Constance Bovier drifted far from religion as an adult. But when Twelve Step recovery programs intervened, offering relief from problems she couldn’t solve alone, she got more than she bargained for – more than she even wanted at first – a slowly dawning relationship with God. More God traces Constance Bovier’s journey from wary agnosticism into a non-judgmental, all-encompassing Twelve Step spirituality and, finally, into vibrant Christianity. She writes openly about her joys and sorrows, her traumas and triumphs and, with a keen eye for the divine significance in the details of daily life, distills perceptive lessons from her experiences. These universal lessons and the resilient belief she shares offer valuable guideposts for others who’ve been circumnavigating their own questions of faith, just as she once did. Constance Bovier’s story reaches far beyond the Twelve Step recovery community to provide encouragement and inspiration for anyone who senses a soul-deep longing, anyone struggling with growing faith…anyone hungry for more God.

Who Is My Enemy
$19.99Add to cartWho Is My Enemy? is designed as a popular level introduction to eight current flash-point issues in our culture. The book provides a summary overview designed to enable the reader to respond to the issues as Christ would–not by resorting to privitization of our faith, or abdication, but to engagement that leads to transformation. The book is designed to help Christians understand how the world is thinking in order to begin to develop an appropriate Christian response to each issue. Rather than presenting simplistic either/or answers, the book recognizes that each issue contains elements that biblical Christians can strongly support and also strongly oppose. The hot topics are: pluralism, postmodernism, New Age explosion, evolution, abortion/euthanasia, feminism, homosexuality, therapy idolatry, and materialism. Picture it as an extended newscast reporting on each issue and weaving biblial perspective throughout.

What Ticks God Off
$18.99Add to cartWell, wouldn9t you like to know? A contemporary and slightly wacky book that draws from the ancient, sometimes unusual wisdom of the 12 Minor Prophets. Filled with humor, clever design elements, and recurring gimmicks (such as the Nabal Awards), each chapter will target one human tendency, action or activity that hurts or disappoints God aka “ticks him off.” The authors show how He responds to our negative actions and attitudes, and suggest remedies to avoid the consequences. Driven by the themes and characters of the Minor Prophets, the book has a solid Biblical foundation.
