Revelation : 30 Day Devotional (Student/Study Guide)
$9.99Add to cartDoes the church have a future?
Across the generations troubled Christians have often asked this question. Even as early as the end of the first century the future of the church hung in the balance. False teaching, internal division, and persecution were rife. Emperor Domitian had exiled the apostle John, probably in his 90s, on the island of Patmos. You can imagine John, pacing up and down the island at night, looking across the sea to the cities on the shore, wondering, “Does the church have a future?”
Into this situation the Lord comes and makes these glorious revelations. He gives John this vision and tells him to write to the seven churches of Asia Minor, in the eastern part of the Roman Empire, in what is now called Turkey.
To each of these churches Jesus says, “I know… I know your hopes and dreams, your faults and failings, your joys and sorrows, your temptations and frustrations.” Jesus knew each church, and so he could speak wisely and truthfully into each circumstance. He said some hard things to shake the believers out of their apathy. He also spoke words of comfort. The letter ends by pointing the believers to heaven, a reminder that despite their present struggles, ultimately they are on the side of victory.
Today the church still faces internal division, opposition and persecution. It is understandable that some believers ask, “Does the church have a future?”
The answer is the same as it always has been. Absolutely.

Pass The Joy Please
$15.99Add to cartThere is a joy inexpressible and uncontainable that is delivered to a woman’s heart when she delivers a baby to the world! When an ordinary woman gazes into the eyes of her baby, joy is real and recognizable; love is unconditional and bottomless.
However, sometimes that delicious joy is lost amidst sleepless nights, potty-training, strong-willed two year olds and never-ending mountains of laundry! When a weary mother is facing yet another day of tantrums, sibling rivalry, last week’s dishes in the sink and a house filled with unmade the beds, the joy of motherhood is often no where to be found.
Carol McLeod is the mother of five and the “Marmee” to currently seven precocious and precious little people. When it comes to the days of being overwhelmed with the demands of children, she “gets” it. Carol understands the desire to be the world’s greatest mom and yet falling on your face … day after day after day.
Carol is a mom who deeply cares about the next generation of women who are raising their children to make a difference in the world. She has written this devotional from the wealth of years of motherhood and from a heart that knows the true source of joy.
If you have forgotten how to giggle or sing with your children … then this book is for you!
If you have lost yourself in the quagmire of whining children … then this book is for you!
If you have screamed at your children this week for no reason other than they were acting like children … then this book is for you!If you long to wring the joy out of motherhood … then this book is for you!

Holy Ground : An Alphabet Of Prayer
$20.00Add to cartToo often we turn prayer into well-intentioned patterns of our own making. Too often we assume prayer is primarily about words. Sometimes there’s an almost magical understanding that if we get the words right, if we trust enough or believe enough, God will “answer.” But most of us know that God is not a divine magician or our own personal valet and that prayer is much more than our feeble attempts to make God pay attention to what God already knows. Using the alphabet as a template of descriptive words and actions, Holy Ground: An Alphabet of Prayer invites reflection about prayer as paying Attention, looking for Beauty, showing Compassion, practicing Devotion, celebrating Enthusiasm–all the way to the end of the alphabet and discovering Wonder, X as mystery, and Z as Zeal. These reflections will help readers experience prayer as a place, an action, or attitude, a stance for recognizing and acknowledging God’s presence in the midst of ordinary life–something like the sigh of the shoemaker, too busy to drop his worn shoes and kneel in disciplined prayer, but not too busy to sigh his prayer of gratitude. Prayer is so much more than words.

Apprentice : A Year At The Feet Of Jesus
$14.99Add to cartIf someone asked you to share with them what you believe about Jesus, could you do so with clarity and effectiveness? Jesus gave the church the command to go into all the world and make disciples. The word disciple speaks about becoming a follower of Jesus.
Here is what I have discovered; it is impossible to direct someone to a place you have never been.
This very discovery is the reason I have written this book. It is my desire to not just know about Jesus but to truly know Jesus, so that I can direct others to Him. In this year-long devotional book, you will have the honor of sitting at Jesus’ feet, along with the 12 disciples who have become apprentices of Jesus.
You will hear Jesus call to these men in His first days of ministry. You will walk with these men on the Galilean road of ministry. You will experience firsthand the teaching of Jesus and you will see the miracles performed by Jesus. You will feel the thrill of each new day at Jesus’ feet. You will do battle with the forces of the enemy as you follow Jesus through His earthly ministry. You will enter into the courtyard of the high priest and see Jesus in His agony. You will weep at the cross and shout at the empty tomb.
Above all, you will come to the end of the year with a new viewpoint of Jesus. If you want a devotional book that will lead you to know Jesus as did the early church, this book is for you.

$9.99Add to cartProven Player serves as an instructional manual to be used by coaches and athletes to strengthen the development of their character as it pertains to sports and life. In this life there seems to always be a need to prove one’s self and with that thought a person needs to know what it takes to demonstrate the accurate character traits that makes one a “Proven Player.” If a person is to know how to handle certain situations on the plateau of their given sport or within this life, he or she will need a plan to insure that the situations on the playing field and in life are responded to in a proper manner that brings a greater passion for life and those around them that are affected by their responses.

Surrounded By Grace (Student/Study Guide)
$14.95Add to cartPastors love to preach about grace. The essence of the Good News, grace is unmerited favor from the all-powerful Creator of the world. There is perhaps no more satisfying message to deliver.
But does the average churchgoer really understand what grace means for them? Is it just another “Christianese” term that fails to resonate?
Bill Thomas’ Surrounded by Grace: A Bible Study for Lent is a tool based on the Gospel of John to help pastors, small groups and congregations answer the question of what grace is in a modern context. From the story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana to his conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, Thomas uses John’s words to affirm that the Lord’s favor extends to all no matter how insignificant we see ourselves or our problems.
Written to be utilized for individual or group study, or for worship services during the Lenten season, Surrounded by Grace encourages the imagination to ponder that there is no storm so great the Lord cannot overcome it; no pain so deep he will not sustain us through it; no death so final he will fail to resurrect us from it.
Lessons Include:
“Grace for Those Awkward Moments” (John 2:1-11)
“Grace for the Broken Heart” (John 11:17-44)
“Grace When Things Are Chaotic” (John 16:17-33) -
Glory Of The Cross
$14.99Add to cartIn many ways, Easter is supposed to be the high-point of the year for Christians, where we remember the three days that changed history for ever. But for many of us, the day quickly comes and goes without us really feeling any different. Yet for centuries Christians around the world have marked the season of Lentthe forty days leading up to Easteras a way of reflecting on their need for forgiveness and anticipating Christ’s work on the cross. These daily readings present deep theology in a concise and understandable way, allowing you to soak up the real meaning of Christ’s death and resurrection. Each week, you’ll read through one or two chapters of John’s Gospel. The Sunday reading provides an introduction to the passage as a whole, while the rest of the week’s reflections work through it in smaller sections. A carefully selected prayerdrawn from the rich work of writers throughout church historyis included each day.

Journey Into Silence
$15.99Add to cartJust You and the Lord, 24/7:
Most Christians have experienced various times of silence before God. We call it “getting ourselves in the mood for worship,” “moments of meditation,” or “having our morning quiet time.” We might even have “soaked” in God’s presence for an extended period. These are spiritually-enriching experiences, but is there a deeper value in silence than we have realized? What would it be like to spend extended time in an environment where you focused solely on God and His Word–just you and the Lord, 24/7, uninterrupted, with no other obligations and nothing to distract you from His loving presence? In Journey into Silence, drawn from his own real-time journal entries, Chaim Bentorah reveals the spiritual blessings of being alone with God as he describes his experiences in three different retreats of silence, each of which lasted a full week. Wrapped in an ever-deepening closeness with the Lord, the layers of his heart were peeled away, bringing healing and filling him with compassion for a world that needs to know the love of Jesus. With his years of research into Jewish literature and study of ancient languages, including Hebrew, Chaim Bentorah was able to dig deep into the very core of key words from Scripture passages that God called to his attention during his times of living in silence. These reflections on the deeper meanings of Hebrew words open the depths of God’s Word–drawing us, too, into an intimate relationship with God, and refreshing and challenging us in our spiritual walk. Journey into Silence demonstrates how our lives can be transformed as we enter into times of contemplation, wonder, and worship–and then return to daily life, carrying the compassionate heart of God to the hurting world around us. -

Holy Solitude : Lenten Reflections With Saints Hermits Prophets And Rebels
$17.00Add to cartOur faith is full of heroes who experienced God powerfully in solitude. From Hagar and the Hebrew prophets to Jesus in the wilderness to St. Francis and Catherine of Siena, we see how escape from the toil and temptations of daily life can open our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts to the still, small voice of God. In the vast desert or a tiny room, solitude-frightening for some and a welcome reprieve for others-is far from an antisocial self-indulgence but rather is an opportunity for transformation and empowerment to serve God’s people ever more deeply.
While most of us can’t take weeks-;or even a few days-for private retreat, Holy Solitude offers readers thoughtful inspiration and practical ideas for quiet reflection and deep devotion to experience God more powerfully this Lent. Daily reflections introduce readers to figures in both Scripture and Christian history whose stories of discernment and discipline are a guide for our own spiritual practices as we seek to know God more fully and follow Christ more faithfully.

Embracing The Uncertain
$9.99Add to cartJust turning on the news lets us know we are living in uncertain times. Economic instabilities, eruption of violence, and natural catastrophes can alter the lives and landscapes of entire communities. Our individual lives are often just as unsteady: relationships can break, plans can falter, and confidence can fail. Uncertainty can definitely be uncomfortable. Many of us prefer stability and a predictable future to an unknown fate. We are wired to want to control our destiny. The reality is that in our fast-changing, unpredictable world there are few guarantees in life. It’s those who are willing to embrace uncertainty and make the risky decision to follow Jesus despite the many “unknowns” who will reap the greatest rewards. Embracing the Uncertain invites readers this Lent to engage and wrestle with life’s uncertainties, not ignore them. This 40-day devotional journey is the perfect companion piece to the book and includes Scripture, reflections, and prayers for each day to help you renew your heart during Lent.

At The Masters Side
$18.99Add to cartA year’s worth of delightful reflections on dogs known and loved, each leading into a consideration of some aspect of God’s character. Stephen Poxon says, “Within what I hope will become this dog-eared work, 365 shaggy dog stories are homed with verses of Scripture to encourage, inform and possibly even amuse. Use them as a dog might treat a puddle – to gaze upon with curiosity, to dip into, or to have a jolly good splash around. It might be that a line from a reflection will lead you towards a deeper concept. It might be that a thought provides a timely contemplation for the day, relevant to your circumstances and concerns. “It is my prayer, as a dog devotee who tries to follow God, that these readings bring reminders of His love. As the seasons change and experiences vary between good, bad and indifferent, may our relationship with a loving Heavenly Father remain a rewarding constant.”

Through The Year With William Booth
$19.99Add to cartWilliam Booth – pawnbroker’s assistant, firebrand preacher, advocate of women’s rights, friend of the poor, confidant of statesmen, politicians and royalty, father of eight children, champion of the marginalised, and founder and first General of The Salvation Army. General Booth’s courage, oratory and passion changed Victorian Britain. He resolutely ignored his critics – including those who decried him as the Anti-Christ – and reached out to those who considered themselves well outside the concern of Almighty God. Prayer and practicality were his hallmarks: he ridiculed the idea of preaching to a beggar while that beggar was cold and hungry. William Booth worked tirelessly, campaigning, researching, negotiating, adapting music-hall songs – and writing. This book introduces us to his heart and convictions. Here we find the urgency, thought and humanity which drove him on.

Through The Year With Catherine Booth
$18.99Add to cartDaily readings with Scripture verses and prayers, based on the life and ministry of Catherine Booth, wife of General Booth and co-founder of The Salvation Army, often called ‘The mother of The Salvation Army’. An ardent temperance campaigner, she and William developed together the firm convictions about salvation and poverty that led to the formation of the Army. Catherine Booth was eloquent and compelling in speech, and articulate and devastatingly logical in writing. At first, Catherine and her husband had shared a ministry as traveling evangelists, but then she came into great demand as a preacher in her own right, especially among the well-to-do. Although it was virtually unknown at that point for women to speak in public, and despite her nervousness, she developed a considerable preaching ministry. Catherine was both a woman and a fine preacher, a magnetic combination that attracted large numbers to hear her. This book of daily readings introduces us to Catherine’s heart and convictions. Here we find the passion, urgency, thought and humanity which drove her on. Each devotional will take one page of the format above. Catherine’s succinct, direct style is ideally suited to this form.
