Maximum Integrity
$9.99Great Leaders Are Great Followers.
They model their lives after men and women who achieve success through wisdom, integrity, and fearless loyalty-the foundational traits of a godly leader. King David was this kind of leader. While the stories that tell of his reign portray his commanding character, it is his own writings throughout the Book of Psalms that show us how to find comfort, guidance, and hope in our Master and King.
Maximum Integrity presents you with some of the poems, hymns, and prayers of David and his fellow psalmists. It peeks into their souls to catch a vision of what it means to be a leader after God’s own heart. Each psalm featured has something new to teach, something striking to share.
If you want to be a great leader, authentic and faithful in all you do, then begin by following the wisdom and models given to you through this glimpse into the Book of Psalms. Its insights and honesty will move, lift, and guide you as you become the servant leader God calls you to be.

Ruth Bryan reckons herself a meager gleaner in the fields of the gracious, loving, and greater Boaz, Jesus Christ. Observing the inner life of Ruth Bryan is a reminder to all believers of the boundless mercies of Christ, for what are we that such “handfuls of purpose” should be dropped for us?Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Compassion As A Subversive Activity
$14.95To Dr. David Urion’s question, How can I help you? the father of the young boy with autism responded in a small voice that choked back some tears, Be with us. Keep us company. This is so lonely.
This book is part of Dr. Urion’s attempt to keep his promise, a promise which in fact we all made to this family and to many families on the day of their child’s baptism. Baptism by baptism, in each of our faith communities, we vow to do everything in our power to support them in their life in God.
Urion beckons us to contemplate the miraculous healings in the Gospel of Mark as subversive political acts of power that provide examples of restoring the integrity and the wholeness of the community, not just for the persons who are overtly healed but for the community as well. The tales of power he invites us to consider in this book reflect upon the extraordinary and paradoxical power of the powerless.
The kingdom of God that is at hand is just this: the poor, the sick, the outcast. Their integration into the community restores creation to the radical inclusiveness with which it began and that heals us all.

1 Conversation At A Time
$14.99Jesus was a conversationalist, and that’s how He taught. Through intimate exchanges with His disciples, He opened their eyes to the marvels of the Kingdom. And at the proper time, He commissioned them to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching each one all they had learned.
Christ calls believers to do the same today. He asks them to make disciples as He did-one conversation, one relationship at a time. But sometimes we spend more time keeping track of how many people we’ve told about Christ than we do getting to know them.
Making disciples is more than witnessing to nonbelievers and tallying numbers. Making disciples is really about building authentic relationships with those closest to us and helping them follow Jesus through heart-to-heart talks and committed friendships.
This book challenges you to reexamine your idea of evangelism and discipleship and reconsider what you say in hour daily conversations. Author D. Michael Henderson will show you how to turn your everyday interactions into open doors through which you can tell others about God and His love for them.

Is Financial Prosperity For Us Today Or The 1000 Year Reign Of Jesus Christ
$29.98The Holy Spirit has given us an abundance of scriptures concerning true prosperity, this book consists of twelve Bible truths. We have many Bible verses which tells us of God’s perfect will and plan about true prosperity. God says we have a better covenant (New Testament), which was established upon better promises than what Israel had (Old Testament), Hebrews 8:6. This covenant is established on the blood of Jesus and not on the blood of animals. God’s promise to Abraham for the church (Acts 2:1- Revelation 3:22) is spiritual with the promise of His Spirit to live in us. Israel’s promise had an abundance of material and financial wealth (Genesis 1:1- Acts1:1-26) because that is all they could receive before Jesus came. No one had the Holy Spirit living in them at that time. However, many already had an abundance of material and financial things so this is not why Jesus came. Today we are missing God’s timing concerning financial prosperity which will begin in the 1000 Year Reign of Jesus Christ. Don’t believe that we cannot miss God; Israel did concerning Jesus. The proof and the degree of the Holy Spirit speaking to and through us is the accuracy of our writings according to the scriptures. We are to judge everything according to the Bible. Please read and study these twelve truths with serious prayer to see what God is saying to us today about true prosperity. We are not to interpret scriptures by what we personally believe or think. 1st Corinthians 2:13 says “…the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. God’s word is spiritual. We should continually search for the truth by going from scripture to scripture so that we can truly understand what God is saying.

Soul Of Christianity
$14.99“I have tried to describe a Christianity which is fully compatible with everything we now know, and to indicate why Christians feel privileged to give their lives to it.”
-Huston SmithIn his most personal and passionate book on the spiritual life, renowned author, scholar, and teacher of world religions Huston Smith turns to his own life-long religion, Christianity. With stories and personal anecdotes, Smith not only presents the basic beliefs and essential teachings of Christianity, but argues why religious belief matters in today’s secular world.
Though there is a wide variety of contemporary interpretations of Christianity-some of them conflicting-Smith cuts through these to describe Christianity’s “Great Tradition,” the common faith of the first millennium of believers, which is the trunk of the tree from which Christianity’s many branches, twigs, and leaves have grown. This is not the exclusivist Christianity of strict fundamentalists, nor the liberal, watered-down Christianity practiced by many contemporary churchgoers. In exposing biblical literalism as unworkable as well as enumerating the mistakes of modern secularists, Smith presents the very soul of a real and substantive faith, one still relevant and worth believing in.
Smith rails against the hijacked Christianity of politicians who exploit it for their own needs. He decries the exercise of business that widens the gap between rich and poor, and fears education has lost its sense of direction. For Smith, the media has become a business that sensationalizes news rather than broadening our understanding, and art and music have become commercial and shocking rather than enlightening. Smith reserves his harshest condemnation, however, for secular modernity, which has stemmed from the misreading of science-the mistake of assuming that “absence of evidence” of a scientific nature is “evidence of absence.” These mistakes have all but banished faith in transcendence and the Divine from mainstream culture and pushed it to the margins.
Though the situation is grave, these modern misapprehensions can be corrected, says Smith, by reexamining the great tradition of Christianity’s first millennium and reaping the lessons it holds for us today. This fresh examination of the Christian worldview, its history, and its major branches provides the deepest, most authentic vision of Christianity-one that is both tolerant and substantial, traditional and relevant.
