Burden Of Baggage
$16.99Add to cartEvery person coming to Christ has baggage, but a first-generation believer, especially one coming from little or no connection to Christianity, has an uncommon amount of cultural baggage that they bring with them. This book tackles a variety of issues and sees specific examples play out in the Iranian church as a prime example of these challenges. The Burden of Baggage explores how cultural upbringing is expressed in the personal, interpersonal, family, leadership, and spiritual nuances of church life-contributing to both strengths and weaknesses. Church teaching must shift the emphasis away from the self as perceived by the community in terms of honor and shame, instead encouraging people to give up their honor through humility, and refocus their attention on God and loving others. Readers will walk away knowing they are not alone in their struggles as they deal with gut-wrenching issues that often aren’t solved in one generation.

Take The Lid Off
$16.99Add to cartPastor and Grammy-winning musician Smokie Norful inspires readers to go to God and experience more fulfillment, delight, power, and success than they ever dreamed.
According to Smokie Norful, sometimes our lives feel like a pot of rice in his grandmother’s kitchen: hissing, boiling over, about to explode and create panic. The only way to avoid an explosion is to take the lid off–that is, to stop being trapped inside ourselves and instead look to God and his grace to make us all he intends us to be. Taking the lid off, Norful argues, entails four actions: look inward, experiencing the cleansing of forgiveness and the power of the Holy Spirit; look outward, seeking for others to experience the joy of living for God and have the best God has to offer; look upward and marvel at God’s love and strength to accomplish his purposes; and move onward, devising a strategy to accomplish all God has put in our hearts to do.
When we take these four steps, the pressure goes down, we gain peace and perception, and things work out much better in the end. When we finally take the lid off, we can become the people God has created us to be and do what we were intended to do. We get in touch with the unlimited power of his Spirit, we’re directed by the challenge of his purposes, and we experience the joy of seeing him use us to change lives. All of us need help in taking the lid off in order to trust God, take action, and reach our full potential.

Little Ways To Little Sanctity
$16.99Add to cartOshee Publishing Title
Growth in holiness, or sanctity, is an endeavor sought by most all the faithful in their individual journey towards Jesus Christ and to the realization of eternal salvation. Little Ways to Little Sanctity is written for the common person, motivated in faith, for he or she who seeks to improve their place in life. Countless individuals routinely ask about ways to grow closer to God the Father, how to become more pure and holy, how to be a responsible steward of the gifts with which one has been blessed. Little Ways to Little Sanctity is modeled in part after the life and “little way” of St. Therese of Lisieux. St. Therese is known the world over as a modern-day saint who was simple in intellect but a giant in humility and sanctity. Unbeknownst to many of her closest friends and family members, St. Therese sought to strengthen her relationship with Christ in all that she did. In her pursuit of holiness, her daily efforts were neither significant nor profound, but rather were focused on acts in simplicity and humility. St. Therese used a strand of ten beads, her Good Deed Beads, to count the times during her day during which she acted in holiness. Her Good Deed Beads became an important tool for her to grow in unity with Christ as she counted the times in which she acted for Jesus. This was the “little way” of St. Therese.
Little Ways to Little Sanctity is modeled on the faith and littleness of St. Therese and on her “little way.” The book is focused on ten key practices each of us can implement in our daily lives to similarly grow in faithfulness and in unity with our Creator. It is written for all ages from teenager to adult. Each chapter concludes with contemplative questions to ponder and consider for each on their individual journey towards Christ. The book is ideal for parishes, for youth groups, for faith-filled book clubs, and every individual motivated to be responsible for the gifts they have and to attune themselves to the call of Christ to seek holiness.

Wealth And Piety
$16.99Add to cartYour supporters consider you saintly and self-sacrificing. Your Middle Eastern friends might beg to differ. So might God. In this book, Dr. Shaw tackles the elephant in the room. Wealth and Piety explores biblical and Arab cultural expectations for getting, using, talking about, and giving money.
This book contains hundreds of verbatim observations about local and foreign wealth by thirty-five Middle Easterners from nine countries, representing all major religious groups. These comments are a mirror in which workers can see their own status and moral reputation as people of the region see them.
Combining biblical commentary, cultural analysis and practical advice for expats, Wealth and Piety is designed for both new and experienced workers, as well as mission leaders, administrators, supporters and donors. Although focused on the Middle East, much of the wisdom of this book is valuable for workers anywhere in the Muslim world or in societies characterized by patronage or an honor/shame orientation.

Minutes Matter : Making Every Beat Count
$13.99Add to cartJames asks a pointed question in his brief book in the Bible when he simply says, What is your life? He then answers his own question by stating, “”””It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”””” Psalm 90 reminds us that the days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years. Thats somewhere between 36,792,000 and 42,048,000 minutes, both very large numbers. The question for us then becomes, what are we doing with our minutes? Are we making them matter in ways that count? Are we spending them in ways that will lay up treasure in heaven, or here on earth where moth and rust will destroy?

Living right here in the Spirit is the source of the most meaningful, creative, satisfying life possible. If we relate to the Spirit primarily regarding the presence or absence of his miraculous gifts in our lives and in the world, we distort and limit our understanding of the third person of the Trinity. He should be known for much more. Who is the Spirit? Is he a person or a spiritual force? How are we meant to relate to him? Can we pray to the Spirit? What does being filled with the Spirit look like?These are some of the questions this book will explore. Instead of relating narrowly to the Holy Spirit, this book will broaden your engagement with him by touring often unexplored aspects of his vast character and mission. -
Union With Christ
$19.99Add to cartWinner of the 2017 Christian Book Award for New Author
Named one of the top books of 2016 by John Piper’s Desiring God ministryTo experience why the gospel is good news and answer life’s most foundational questions about identity, destiny, and purpose, we must understand what it means to be united to Christ.
If you are a Christian, the Bible says that Christ has united his life to yours, that you are now in Christ and Christ is in you. This almost unfathomable truth is the central theme of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Yet few Christians today experience or enjoy this reality. Union with Christ reveals the transformational power of this ancient doctrine while addressing the basic questions of the human heart:
Who Am I?
Why Am I Here?
Where Am I Headed?
How Will I Get There?
Nothing is more practical for living the Christian life than union with Christ. The recovery of this reality provides the anchor and engine for your life with God–for your destiny is not only to see Christ, but to actually become like him. -

Life That Is Good
$27.99Add to cartSomewhere out there is the “good life,” and we’re all scrambling to get it. Glenn Pemberton maintains in this book that we find the so-called good life not in good things but in living well–and the biblical book of Proverbs teaches us how to live that life.
Though based on solid biblical scholarship, A Life That Is Good is not a textbook, commentary, or comprehensive study. It is instead a readable, practical guide to the wisdom found in the ancient book of Proverbs–wisdom on everyday living, speech, relationships, justice, money, and much more. Pastors and church groups in particular will love and benefit from this relevant guide regarding the message of Proverbs for today’s world.

Thirsty For More
$14.99Add to cartWhen it comes to our connection with God, we dread “dry seasons,” when we feel far from our life-sustaining Creator and redeemer. We want to dwell in lush valleys, not wander in trackless deserts. And yet, during the first three centuries of the church, many men and women purposefully moved into deserts to seek God. They understood something that we have missed: a desert is not a place of vast nothingness, but a place where we can truly experience God’s provision, restoration, and intimacy.
Through Scripture and personal stories of her own times of waiting and struggle, Allison Allen offers a fresh perspective for women who dare to believe that God is doing something of eternal value in their dry seasons. She shows how God can use these times in our lives to reveal himself to us, to give us rest, to get our attention, to show us our strength, to experience his blessings, and more. Any woman who has been feeling spiritually sapped will welcome this refreshing message of hope.

Hmmm Whos Speaking
$22.95Add to cartHmmm! Who’s Speaking? is an inspiring collection of first-hand reports, so to speak, that the author gathered by visiting a variety of churches from a wide array of religious denominations and backgrounds. Then he shared them first with his minister and then others so that each may learn something from other members of the body of Christ.
Some of his visits were to mosques, temples, synagogues, and even cults. The author hopes his reports of visits to denominational and nondenominational churches will encourage some readers who do not attend a church, or maybe feel uncomfortable where they do go, to check out another church. He feels God has a specific church in mind for you so that you will become involved in spreading the Good News about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And some of his stories in this book are about other happenings where God got his message over to the author through experiences as a Boy Scout chaplain, a Billy Graham Emergency Response chaplain, and as a chaplain for the Tulsa Juvenile Detention Center. Then there are stories about ways and things God used to get his attention either physically or with words or music or even animals like foxes, donkeys, frogs, birds, and even insects. The author’s hope is that you, too, may recognize something similar that’s happened in your life, and maybe you’ll think, Hmmm! Was that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit speaking?

Dont Die In The Pew
$14.99Add to cart2thrive Incorporated LLC Title
Has the modern Church forsaken the Holy Word of God for a “feel good” doctrine that fills seats but puts souls in peril? Today, many of Christianity’s most uncomfortable topics are either ignored or misinterpreted. Don’t Die in the Pew offer’s a head-on, Scripture-based examination of many of the most controversial and confusing subjects within the modern Church. The author implores the Christian reader not to rely solely on man to interpret the Bible but to read and study for oneself to find the Truth. She demonstrates how Scripture can be misconstrued if not read and understood in context and in harmony with all related Scriptures.
Don’t Die in the Pew encourages the Christian reader to thoughtfully examine the surety of his or her salvation. The author takes the reader on a journey to find the rarely studied history of Israel and the early Church. She connects the dots of the Old and New Testament, and she uses Scripture to debunk the now popular “once saved, always saved” doctrine that is pervasive in many churches today.
Don’t Die in the Pew will surprise you and likely challenge long-held beliefs around thought-provoking questions such as:
-What is the relevance of the Old Testament in today’s world?
-Why is what’s happening in Israel important to Christian’s and to the “end times”?
-Is it possible to lose your salvation…is “Once Saved, Always Saved” a Biblical truth?
-What is God’s special relationship with Israel, a people He actually divorced? Jer 3:8We are all going to die a physical death, and most of us believe that we’re going to spend eternity somewhere. So, what makes this book a must read? Quite simply, it could save your life, your eternal one. The author has a God-given message for the Church. This book urges the Church, both leaders and goers, to WAKE UP and discover that the Truth can only be found in Scripture. It implores Christians not to ignore God’s written Word and warns that if you do, you may just die in the pew.
Join the writer on a fascinating journey through Scripture as she seeks the absolute Truth.

Will The Real Person Please Stand Up
$14.99Add to cartDoes fear of rejection hold you back from letting people see the real you? Are you tired of hiding?
Gail Porter lived with this kind of fear during her childhood and most of her adult life.

Invitation To Retreat
$25.99Add to cart“Come away and rest awhile.”
Jesus invites us to be with him, offering our full and undivided attention to him. When we choose retreat we make a generous investment in our friendship with Christ. Truth is, we are not always generous with ourselves where God is concerned. Many of us have done well to incorporate regular times of solitude and silence into the rhythm of our ordinary lives which means we’ve gotten pretty good at giving God twenty minutes here and a half an hour there. And there’s no question we are better for it! But we need more. Indeed, we long for more.
In these pages Transforming Center founder and seasoned spiritual director, Ruth Haley Barton, gently and eloquently leads us into an exploration of retreat as a key practice that opens us to God. Based on her own practice and her experience leading hundreds of retreats for others, she will guide you in a very personal exploration of seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat. You will discover how to say yes to God’s winsome invitation to greater freedom and surrender. There has never been a time when the invitation to retreat is so radical and so relevant, so needed and so welcome. It is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.

It’s hard to be in the minority.If you’re the only person from your ethnic or cultural background in your organization or team, you probably know the challenges of being misunderstood or marginalized. You might find yourself inadvertently overlooked or actively silenced. Even when a work environment is not blatantly racist or hostile, people of color often struggle to thrive-and may end up leaving the organization.Being a minority is not just about numbers. It’s about understanding pain, power, and the impact of the past. Organizational consultant Adrian Pei describes key challenges ethnic minorities face in majority-culture organizations. He unpacks how historical forces shape contemporary realities, and what both minority and majority cultures need to know in order to work together fruitfully. If you’re a cultural minority working in a majority culture organization, or if you’re a majority culture supervisor of people from other backgrounds, learn the dynamics at work. And be encouraged that you can help make things better so that all can flourish. -
Faith For This Moment (Reprinted)
$17.00Add to cartFor three generations, God’s chosen people were exiles in the land of Babylon. Today, many Christians in America feel like exiles within their own country, and there is growing disagreement regarding how to live faithfully in this complex cultural moment. Some desire to conquer our Babylon and return to a type of Christendom they believe existed in an idealized past. Others seek to assimilate the values of our culture into the church. And in between are those who are uncomfortable with either extreme, who feel spiritually homeless. These exiles are looking for a new way of understanding what faith looks like in a polarized, pluralistic, post-Christian culture. They want to know: What does it mean to be the people of God now?
That’s the question Rick McKinley seeks to answer. He shows exiled Christians how people of faith from other times and places discovered how to live faithfully, prophetically, and imaginatively, neither compromising their principles nor their compassion, and never giving in to despair.

Astonished By God
$17.99Add to cartThis book is a revised, improved version of Doctrine Matters.
For more than thirty years, John Piper pastored in the rough and tumble realities of downtown Minneapolis, preaching his people through the ups and down of life one Sunday at a time. When it came to capturing a generation of joy in one final sermon series, he turned to ten trademark truths to leave ringing in his peoples’ ears.
These ten are world-shaking truths-each astonishing in its own way. First they turned Piper’s own world upside down. Then his church’s. And they will continue to turn the whole world upside down as the gospel of Christ advances in distance and depth. These surprising doctrines, as Piper writes, are “wildly untamable, explosively uncontainable, and electrically future-creating.”
Join a veteran author, pastor, and Christian statesman as he captures the ten astonishing, compassionate, life-giving, joy-awakening, hope-sustaining truths that have held everything together for him.

Each one of us can be, and are called to be, part of this new movement-a human dignity revolution that our societies need, and that we-you-are uniquely placed as Christians to be join.
This compelling book shows you how to join the dignity revolution.

We all have struggles and challenges in life. Whether they are of our own making or not, things don’t always work out. Sometimes, we just give up on our dreams and goals.
But it doesn’t have to be that way! God is a God of new beginnings, and throughout the entire Bible, we read about people who were stuck, disappointed, and faced impossible situations–people God freed.Rosalinda Torres Rivera challenges us to Dare to Begin Again. Using stories from her own life, other people, and biblical times, Rosalinda offers inspirational, down-to-earth advice on beginning again. Each chapter tackles a different issue where you may be “stuck”–such as an inability to forgive, trust, or hope–and examples of people who overcame similar challenges. Practical tasks at the end of each chapter walk you through a DARE challenge (Decide, Allow, Rise, Enjoy) to help you move closer to a fresh start.
Rosalinda is the daughter of Victor Torres, an ex-gang member from Brooklyn, New York, and his wife, Carmen, founders of the New Life For Youth ministry. She has seen more than twenty thousand people get out of tough situations and turn their lives around.
“They’re people whose tales of transformation prove God is still at work,” she says. “He’s written and re-written their life’s chapters–and He’s willing to do the same for you.”
It takes a commitment, but with the help of God, inspiring, true stories, and practical applications, you can Dare to Begin Again. -

Learning To Speak God From Scratch

This launched him into an exploration of an increasing American reluctance to talk about faith-and the data he uncovered revealed a quiet crisis of affecting millions.
In this groundbreaking book, Jonathan revives ancient expressions through incisive cultural commentary, vulnerable personal narratives, and surprising biblical insights. Both provocative and liberating, Learning to Speak God from Scratch will breathe new life into your spiritual conversations and invite you into the embrace of the God who inhabits them.
