How We Love Expanded Edition (Expanded)
$18.00Add to cartAre you tired of arguing with your spouse over the same old issues? Do you dream of a marriage with less conflict and more intimacy? Are you struggling under a load of resentment?
The key to creating a deeper bond in your marriage
may lie buried in your childhood.Your early life experiences create an “intimacy imprint”-an underlying blueprint that shapes your behavior, beliefs, and expectations of all future relationships, especially your marriage. In How We Love, relationship experts Milan and Kay Yerkovich help you pinpoint the reason your marriage is struggling-and they reveal exactly what you can do about it.
Drawing on the powerful tool of attachment theory, the Yerkoviches identify four types of injured imprints that combine in marriage to trap couples in a repetitive dance of pain. As you discover how your relationship has been guided by these imprints, you’ll gain the insights you need to stop stepping on each other’s toes and instead allow yourselves to be swept along by the music of a richer, deeper relationship.

Unbelievable : Why After Ten Years Of Talking With Atheists Im Still A Chri
$14.99Add to cartBorn out of Premier Radio’s popular Unbelievable? podcasts, this book invites readers to unpack some of the most common objections to Christianity, equipping them to respond to sceptics and better understand the reason for their faith.
Do your friends find your faith to be Unbelievable?
Conversations matter.
Yet, recently, good conversations about faith have been increasingly squeezed out of the public sphere.
Seeking to reopen the debate, Justin Brierley began to invite atheists and sceptics on to Premier Christian Radio to air arguments for and against the Christian faith.
But how has ten years of discussion with atheists affected the presenter’s faith?
Reflecting on conversations with Richard Dawkins, Derren Brown and many more, Justin explains why he still finds Christianity the most compelling explanation for life, the universe and everything. And why, regardless of belief or background, we should all welcome the conversation.

Fear Not : A Journey From Fear To Freedom
$19.99Add to cartWhat has fear stolen from you or your loved one? Fear is a dream killer, and if left unchecked, it will keep you from walking in your destiny. The good news is in the Good News. God, in His word, reveals everything we need to know to totally eradicate fear from our lives. In “Fear Not! A Journey from Fear to Freedom,” Gary Hohweiler examines every scripture dealing with fear, anxiety, and worry, and applies God’s solution to each and every situation. God took the time to make sure He gave us everything we need to live a fearless life.
Many of us treat God’s word like the owner’s manual in our car. We pull it out only when we have a problem. Well, fear is a problem for 99.9 percent of the population. If you are in the .1 percent not impacted, please disregard this book. By the way, His word was not given to us as a suggestion. God’s word is like medicine to the soul and spirit: apply it liberally, daily until you walk in complete freedom of fear. Gary Hohweiler had a radical encounter with God on a New Mexico mountaintop on September 10, 2005. That day, he received a heart transplant performed by the Lord Himselt. It was there that Gary learned God could use anyone to accomplish His purpose. He and Randa Lea, his wife of thirty-three years, have just recently moved back to God’s country (aka Oklahoma). They have been happily married for nine years since his heart transplant. Gary has served as a deacon and LifeGroup leader at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, for the past five years.

Stand Strong In Your Faith
$21.99Add to cartWhat do you stand for? For truth? For Jesus? For traditional marriage? Or pro-life? A large population of Christians say they stand for what the Bible teaches, yet, when challenged, they can’t articulate what that exactly is. Millennials find this same group of Christians to be rigid, judgmental, condescending, and just plain intolerant of their emergent views.
In all the posts, tweets, podcasts, and sound bites from political pundits, there is an absence of Christians standing strong in their faith. The presence and voice of Christianity is being flooded out by other growing religions and ideologies. So where does that leave Christianity?
If you desire to stand strong in your faith-to know what you believe and why it’s important in your everyday life, this book is for you. Be inspired to live what you believe as you learn about these and other topics:
*Religious freedom or religious discrimination
*Six Christian duties no one else can do for you
*The role of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life
*Do we all worship the same God?
*How to be fearless in the midst of fear
*Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
*How can I know if the Bible is true?
*What’s the best way to study the Bible?It is not enough to say you’re a Christian. In Stand Strong in Your Faith, authors Jason Jimenez and Alex McFarland share bold truth that will take you from saying you believe to actually living what you believe with confidence and passion.

Mercy That Endureth
$12.99Add to cartWhen I think about the mercy of God especially toward this generation where there is less or no more regard for God Almighty as it were in those days; where everyone indulge themselves in evil act, where religion has become an excuse for an act of terror, where the love of money has replaced the love of God even in the heart of the believers, where corruption has become the order of the day, where youth idolizes the things of the world and lust after its immorality, where knowledge has become a snare and wisdom a pestilence to the citizen of the world. Then this I concluded in my heart that if God can be patient enough to delay His wrath of His judgement over the world in general, then I think it is an understatement to say He is merciful but I will rather say God Himself is the definition, the true depiction and the description of mercy. This book reveals the deep things about the mercy of God which many Christians don’t really realize. What more did you know about the mercy of God and what can we say about its efficacy. But the mercy of God is way beyond what we think and we need to learn a little more about it, that we might appreciate God.

Kingdom Learning : Experiential And Reflective Approaches To Christian Form
$36.99Add to cartFor generations most churchgoers have been encouraged to see the responsibility for the life and mission of the church in the hands of the trained clergy. A church embracing God’s call to mission requires these same worshippers to see themselves as “missionary disciples” with a vital part to play in the church’s ministry. How is a change of this magnitude to be accomplished?
Drawing on the discipline of adult education and his own research into the way people learn, David Heywood explains how churches can become learning communities in which people grow as disciples and find their place in a collaborative pattern of ministry. He challenges the prevailing approach to ministerial training as overly theoretical and individualistic, and points towards a model of training based around shared reflection on practice.

When Parenting Isnt Perfect
$16.99Add to cartPerfection is the enemy of parenting. Jim Daly sees and hears from mothers and fathers trying hard to pursue perfection. They listen to the best experts and read all the right books. When someone gives them a “World’s Best Mom” or “No. 1 Dad” coffee mug, they want it to be true. And they want their children to pursue perfection, too.
It’s admirable for parents to be the very best moms and dads they can be for their children. But sometimes in so doing, they leave grace behind-both for themselves and their children. Jim believes that our quest for perfection, a quest that he believes is particularly strong among Christians, runs counter to God’s own boundless gift of grace. We can become Pharisaical parents, quoting endless rules and holding everyone to impossible standards. But God doesn’t want us, and our kids don’t need us, to be perfect. As parents, we’re called to simply do our best. And when we fail-which we will-we’re called to try again tomorrow.
Though he’s the President of Focus on the Family, Jim does not promise that his book will be a catalyst for a perfect family. But it can help point the way toward a good family-one that feels safe and warm; one filled with love and laughter. This book will encourage mothers and fathers to embrace the messiness of parenthood and show grace to their own less-than-ideal children. Jim, through his own experiences, expertise, and array of stories, will lead both moms and dads to a better understanding of what being a good family is all about.

Light Is Winning
$16.99Add to cartIf anyone had good reason to join the league of the “Nones,” the “Dones,” and the deconstructionists, it would be Zach Hoag. After growing up and out of the compound walls of a Texas cult, and becoming a failed church planter in one of the most post-Christian cities in America, Zach was faced with both a crisis and a choice. He loved Jesus, yet questioned: If the church is such a broken system, is it really worth belonging to anymore?
The viral upswing of the “spiritual but not religious” trend has cast religion as going rapidly out of style. Yet even in his own desert of deconstruction, Zach couldn’t shake his desire for a spiritual home. His search ultimately led him to look behind the statistics, where Zach found an astonishing undercurrent subversively at work.
The truth, as Zach discovered, is that we are in a cultural moment of apocalypse. Not an end-of-the-world apocalypse, but in the very literal sense of the word which translates simply, “a revealing.” Perhaps the downtrend of Christian faith in America is just the kind of Great Revealing we need to show us who we really are as American Christians, who Jesus really is in our midst, and how we can step into the flourishing faith he has always intended for us.
For anyone who is anxious about the future of the church and their place in it, The Light Is Winning rallies to an unexpected, unshakeable hope: Could it be that we’ve made religion out to be the culprit when in fact, religion is just what we need to revive us? Could it be that our struggle for relevance must come to a necessary end, so that we can get to the real? After all, isn’t this the essence of the story of God: death paves the way for a resurrected, deeply rooted, flourishing faith. Such faith can be yours. The Light Is Winning will show you how.

A gifted pastor and preacher, as well as a dynamic teacher, Kenneth Ulmer offers Christians a different kind of fitness program–the eternal kind.

Training to Win is an engaging look at the Scriptures that takes you step-by-step through the issues and hurdles of training toward godliness. It is divided into three sections that explore the principle of godliness, the process of godliness, and the practice of godliness. Set in a reader-interactive, Bible study format complete with questions at the end of each chapter, Training to Win will lead you to the “workout” of your life–one that will lead you to peace, understanding and eternal spiritual fitness. -

Nexus : Understanding Faith And Modern Culture
$29.95Add to cartThe Nexus,” so-named because of the operational intersection or “Nexus” of faith and culture, is an alphabetized manual of cultural artifacts of significance to Christians.
In “The Nexus,” Jon Widener observes how Christianity has lost many battles over the years and how the evangelical community has been fraught with endemic anti-intellectualism. He sees an evangelical insularity taking the form of retreat and retrenchment from the comings and goings of the larger society.
Dr. Widener proposes that modern Christian believers correct these deficits by exercising the exhortation of I Pet 3:15 (KJV) to always be prepared “to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.” Believers should educate themselves on culturally relevant issues where there are questions of Christian morality. This is the burden and purpose of the book. Accordingly, the standard for inclusion is straight-forward. If the topic is culturally encountered and has moral implications, then it meets the threshold standard for inclusion in the work.

Additional Info
How are Christians viewed in the broader culture? We blush at the possibilities. Brainwashed fanatics? Out-of-touch dogmatists? Buffoons? The task of bearing faithful witness to Jesus is complicated by persistent-and not altogether baseless-cultural stereotypes. In our post-Christian society, thoughtful Christians are considering again how to engage the dominant culture as a minority, a counterpublic, amid varying perceptions and misperceptions. In this timely book, Timothy Muehlhoff and Rick Langer ask what our interactions with the dominant cultural ethos should look like. How might we be persuasive and civil at the same time? How should we respond to those who ridicule and caricature us? How can we challenge the beliefs of other communities with love and respect? Muehlhoff and Langer present a model for cultural engagement that integrates communication theory, theology, and Scripture. Penetrating, wise, and relentlessly practical, it includes test cases and examples from history, such as William Wilberforce and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Now more than ever, Christians need what Winsome Persuasion offers: a compelling vision of public engagement that is both shrewd and gracious. -
Movies Are Prayers
$17.99Add to cartMovies are our way of telling God what we think about this world and our place in it. . . . Movies can be many things: escapist experiences, historical artifacts, business ventures, and artistic expressions, to name a few. I’d like to suggest that they can also be prayers. Movies do more than tell a good story. They are expressions of raw emotion, naked vulnerability, and unbridled rage. They often function in the same way as prayers, communicating our deepest longings and joys, to a God who hears each and every one. In this captivating book, Filmspotting cohost Josh Larsen brings a critic’s unique perspective to how movies function as expressions to God of lament, praise, joy, confession, and more. His clear expertise and passion for the art of film along with his thoughtful reflections on the nature of prayer will bring you a better understanding of both. God’s omnipresence means that you can find him whether you’re sitting on your sofa at home or in the seats at the theater. You can talk to him wherever movies are shown. And when words fail, the perfect film might be just what you need to jumpstart your conversations with the Almighty.

Learning Contentment : A Study For Ladies Of Every Age
$12.00Add to cartWe tend to think being “stressed out” is a normal state of affairs, and that contentment means sitting back and just bottling things up. For the Christian, however, contentment is something we must apply, work at, and make our own in every circumstance, because anxiety and frustration are not neutral behaviors.
It is certainly easier to just go with our natural impulses when times are “annoying” or when times are very hard, but contentment is an important part of our Christian life. Even the apostle Paul had to “learn” contentment. So we shouldn’t wonder why we’re still in spiritual kindergarten-repeating the same lessons over and over again-if we haven’t given ourselves to study contentment.
Thankfully, every test God gives on contentment is open book (even the pop quizzes!). In Learning Contentment, Nancy Wilson looks to the Bible and Puritans like Burroughs, Rutherford, Watson, and Spurgeon to help us develop the practical, spiritual strength and the perspective that comes from contentment’s deep satisfaction with the will of God.
This encouraging little book includes concise explanations, application questions and assignments that will involve and challenge everyone, and lots of biblical wisdom for individuals and groups.

Need For Transformation
$11.95Add to cartThe book was written in the hope that followers of Jesus Christ will become more aware of the importance of the transformation process. The Need for Transformation is a sincere and encouraging spiritual handbook that helps followers to keep focused on the transformative influence and presence of God in their lives-if only they are open to him and turn to his direction.

Man Depravity And The Quest For God
$12.99Add to cartHe will listen to the prayers of the destitute, for He is never too busy to heed our request. Let’s pray for revival that will bring change to our societies. His turning of events, His power to heal our land or judges situations will be greatly marvelled by His creation. His turning of events from hopelessness to life, from death to life is a great thing to be acknowledged. God’s way or perspective is different from man’s method. God’s healing is whole and complete. His turning of impending disaster is miraculous. Psalm 102:19-20 says, “For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to release those that are appointed to death.”
The quest for God will bring solution to the problem of mankind. God looks down from the temple in heaven and when we seek for Him, He will hear the groans of His people in Satan’s slavery. He will release us from death so that multitudes would stream to the body of Christ.

Its His Show
$12.99Add to cartIt’s His Show is about a difficult and obviously serious subject: marital infidelity and patterns of the heart that lead to vulnerability and breakdown. But, it’s about so much more.
One extraordinary couple shares the story of their transformed hearts through the most devastating, yet incredible, season in their lives. No matter the details of your circumstances, God offers hope and healing. When the world screams in your ear to give up, when your human judgment says to throw in the towel, when it doesn’t make sense to press on, remember this: God can do what man says can’t be done.
The authors talk with brutal honesty and wry humor about the failure of Christian marriages in America. What happened when infidelity entered their marriage was a common story that plays out in home after home, every day, regardless of a couple’s faith. When things get hard, you cut your losses and start over, right? Yet, their story begins where most such tragedies end.
Written from Colleen s perspective with revealing insights from Chris, IT’S HIS SHOW chronicles with painful honesty and wry humor the path that led the McKains to the darkest period of their lives, and the amazing and majestic power of God that brought them through it–together.
This is not a tell-all book. Nor is it just a cautionary tale, a feel-good story, a counseling process, nor an easy read. This is tough stuff, a captivating and intense read, intertwined with a powerful message of hope. Regardless of where you are in your marriage, IT S HIS SHOW may just reveal to you some truths about your own foundation, or point you in the direction of health, of restoration, of the fullness and richness everyone hopes for in their relationship, not just with each other, but with God Himself.

The other side of brokenness
“If I could write only one book in my lifetime, I would ask God to make it this one, the very book you now hold in your hands. . . .”? Sheila Walsh
God loves broken people. And when weary, wounded men and women find a way to open their bruised hearts and somehow welcome Him into their personal darkness, they will find a love beyond anything they have ever known.
When the glass house Sheila had lived in for so many years came crashing to the ground, she began a new life outside the safety of those walls. No, it didn’t feel good, nor safe?not at all.
