In Their Own Words
$27.49WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America are victims of identity theft! History revisionists, whose goal is to separate the people of this country from their Christian roots, are striving to convince unsuspecting citizens, especially those who are unfamiliar with early American history, that the Founding Fathers were something other than Bible- believing Christians who intended that the government they founded was to be guided by precepts of the Judeo-Christian Bible. Information presented here is intended to help Americans rediscover their Godly heritage and to reintroduce them to some of the preeminent men and women who had the courage, intelligence, wisdom, and foresight to look to God for guidance in creating our foundational documents and our systems of government and commerce. We cannot allow our children and grandchildren to be misled regarding their true heritage. We can counter history revisionists attacks on accurate history by becoming familiar with the Founders OWN WORDS.

Death And Memory In Early Medieval Britain
$137.00How were the dead remembered in early medieval Britain? Originally published in 2006, this innovative study demonstrates how perceptions of the past and the dead, and hence social identities, were constructed through mortuary practices and commemoration between c. 400 1100 AD. Drawing on archaeological evidence from across Britain, including archaeological discoveries, Howard Williams presents a fresh interpretation of the significance of portable artefacts, the body, structures, monuments and landscapes in early medieval mortuary practices. He argues that materials and spaces were used in ritual performances that served as ‘technologies of remembrance’, practices that created shared ‘social’ memories intended to link past, present and future. Through the deployment of material culture, early medieval societies were therefore selectively remembering and forgetting their ancestors and their history. Throwing light on an important aspect of medieval society, this book is essential reading for archaeologists and historians with an interest in the early medieval period.”

Otra Cara De America – (Spanish)
$14.99Este libro muestra una cara de los Estados Unidos que muchos no conocen o que temen conocer. Estados Unidos es mucho mas que la Casa Blanca, Disneylandia y la NASA. Estados Unidos tiene a millones de personas viviendo en las sombras, con el temor constante a ser descubiertos y deportados.

Ramos, un mexicano radicado hace mas de dos decadas en Estados Unidos y con una maestria en Relaciones Internacionales, es uno de los periodistas mas reconocidos e influyentes de Norteamerica. En esta version actualizada, con los ultimos datos sobre el eterno debate migratorio, Ramos muestra el constante dilema de Estados Unidos: que a pesar de ser un pais de inmigrantes, muchas veces no sabe que hacer ni como tratar a los recien llegados. Este es un libro fundamental para entender a fondo la verdadera naturaleza de la unica superpotencia mundial. Aqui vemos lo que otros no quieren ver. Es la otra cara de America.

Through educated insight and practical application, Downing shows us how to be set free from the residue of our pasts – the useless comparisons to others, incorrect images others have place on us, the need to please people, and the inability to accept ourselves as we are. She points the way to experience a new sense of satisfaction and pleasure in becoming real, as we portray the image of Christ and teaches us to learn to accept and love the truth that’s there when we look in the mirror.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Dancing Under The Red Star
$25.00The shocking and inspirational saga of Margaret Werner and her miraculous survival in the Siberian death camps of Stalinist Russia.
In 1932, Henry Ford sent 450 of his Detroit employees and their families to live in Gorky, Russia, to operate a new manufacturing facility. This is the true story of one of those families-Carl and Elisabeth Werner and their young daughter Margaret-and their terrifying life in Russia under brutal dictator Joseph Stalin.
Margaret was seventeen when her father was arrested on trumped-up charges of treason. Heartbroken and afraid, she and her mother were left to withstand the hardships of life under the oppressive Soviet state, an existence marked by poverty, starvation, and fear. Refusing to comply with the Socialist agenda, Margaret was ultimately sentenced to ten years of hard labor in Stalin’s Gulag.
Filth, malnutrition, and despair accompanied merciless physical labor. Yet in the midst of inhumane conditions came glimpses of hope and love as Margaret came to realize her dependence upon “the grace, favor, and protection of an unseen God.”
In all, it would be thirty long years before Margaret returned to kiss the ground of home. Of all the Americans who made this virtually unknown journey-ultimately spending years in Siberian death camps-Margaret Werner was the only woman who lived to tell about it.
Written by her son, Karl Tobien, Dancing Under the Red Star is Margaret’s unforgettable true story: an inspiring chronicle of faith, defiance, and personal triumph.

Story Of Evangelism
$38.99In this new history of evangelism, Tuttle examines the broad sweep of the church’s witness to the gospel from a truly global and inclusive perspective. The familiar figures are all here: Paul, Patrick, Boniface, Columba, Luther, Wesley, Carey, and the like. Yet Tuttle knows that the story of the church’s ministry of evangelism has been a worldwide endeavor dependent on women as well as men, and lesser-known figures as well as famous ones. He organizes his material into particular historical periods or moments, each one by way of three perspectives – the cultural forces establishing the need for evangelism; the evangelist in particular; the impact the evangelist had within that particular period.

Twilight Of Atheism
$20.00In this bold and provocative new book, the author of In the Beginning and The Reenchantment of Nature challenges the widely held assumption that the world is becoming more secular and demonstrates why atheism cannot provide the moral and intellectual guidance essential for coping with the complexities of modern life.
Atheism is one of the most important movements in modern Western culture. For the last two hundred years, it seemed to be on the verge of eliminating religion as an outmoded and dangerous superstition. Recent years, however, have witnessed the decline of disbelief and a rise in religious devotion throughout the world. In THE TWILIGHT OF ATHEISM, the distinguished historian and theologian Alister McGrath examines what went wrong with the atheist dream and explains why religion and faith are destined to play a central role in the twenty-first century.
A former atheist who is now one of Christianity’s foremost scholars, McGrath traces the history of atheism from its emergence in eighteenth-century Europe as a revolutionary worldview that offered liberation from the rigidity of traditional religion and the oppression of tyrannical monarchs, to its golden age in the first half of the twentieth century. Blending thoughtful, authoritative historical analysis with incisive portraits of such leading and influential atheists as Sigmund Freud and Richard Dawkins, McGrath exposes the flaws at the heart of atheism, and argues that the renewal of faith is a natural, inevitable, and necessary response to its failures.
THE TWILIGHT OF ATHEISM will unsettle believers and nonbelievers alike. A powerful rebuttal of the philosophy that, for better and for worse, has exerted tremendous influence on Western history, it carries major implications for the future of both religion and unbelief in our society.

Absoluteness Of Christianity And The History Of Religions
$32.00In this seminal work, pioneering theologian Ernst Troeltsch raises the question, “How can we pass beyond the diversity with which history presents us to norms for our faith and for our judgments about life?” He trenchantly probes the issue of how one religion-when viewed historically in the context of other world religions-can be universally and absolutely true.
Though many others since have explored the issue of historical relativism and religious truth, few have done so with Troeltsch’s determination and incisiveness, and for this he has made a lasting contribution to Christian theology and the philosophy of religion. The questions Troeltsch poses in this book remain utterly significant for the thoughtful Christian today.This reissue of a well-known classic includes a foreword by theological titan James Luther Adams, deceased American social ethicist and theologian at Harvard Divinity School.

So Why Do You Home School
$15.49Is Homeschooling the Best Option for Your Kids? New book explores why home education is on the rise
LONGWOOD, FL-On November 2, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (California) ruled that parents do not have the right to preview or object to sexual or psychological material presented in school. In this particular case, elementary school children (ages 7 to 10) were given a questionnaire to rate themselves based on their emotions and feelings about activities of a sexual nature. This, yet another of that court’s controversial decisions, is just one of the reasons parents are pulling children from school systems in record numbers. School shootings (most recently, in Tennessee, November 9) and other school crimes are more negative factors contributing to the positive growth in home education. Parents of children with special needs are routinely blamed for their children’s problems but are given no options to solve those problems “in the system.” Public Education is always in the news with some scandal or another, while homeschoolers are often in the news for exceptional achievement. Homeschoolers are matriculating into college in record numbers, and people want to know how they do there and in the rest of life. Hurricane Katrina has forced many parents to homeschool who would never have considered it otherwise. Is this really the best option for their kids? So – WHY Do You Homeschool? answers questions posed by the millions of friends, relatives, and neighbors of homeschoolers in the United States.
Why has homeschooling experienced exponential growth in the last ten years and now between 2.2 and 4.2 percent of all children in the United States are homeschooled? That is the question many parents and public school advocates are asking, and it is the fundamental question answered in So – WHY Do You Homeschool? Answering Questions People Ask About Home Education (November, $12.99, 1-59781-572-1) by Mimi Davis. Over 70 other questions such as “What about being ‘Salt and Light’ to the public schools?” and “When did homeschooling begin?” are answered in ways that provoke deeper contemplation from both homeschooling veterans and public school advocates. So – WHY Do You Homeschool? has a broad appeal for inquisitive minds from all backgrounds. This is a perfect introduction to homeschooling for those considering home education for their own families. It was also written to refresh average homeschoolers in their homeschooling mission. Put the facts about homesc

Dietrich Bonhoeffer : Reality And Resistance
$41.00What led Dietrich Bonhoeffer to his momentous decision to be involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944? What is the relation between his resistance activities and his theological and ethical reflections? Exploring these intriguing and complex relationships in Bonhoeffer’s life and thought during the turbulent 1930s and 1940s, Larry Rasmussen characterizes Bonhoeffer’s resistance as an enactment of his Christology lived out with utter seriousness. Originally published in 1972 and now updated with a new introduction by the author, Rasmussen’s Dietrich Bonhoeffer remains the defining study of Bonhoeffer’s views of Jesus Christ, his ethics, and his resistance against Hitler and the Nazi regime.

Gods Soldiers : Adventure Politics Intrigue And Power A History Of The Jesu
$19.00Throughout history members of the Society of Jesus, popularly known as Jesuits, have been accused of killing kings and presidents, have traveled as missionaries to every corner of the globe, founded haciendas in Mexico, explored the Mississippi and Amazon rivers, and served Chinese emperors as map makers, painters, and astronomers. As well as the predictable roll call of saints and martyrs, the Society can also lay claim to the thirty-five craters on the moon named for Jesuit scientists. Jesuits have been despised and idolized on a scale unknown to members of any other religious order; they have died the most horrible deaths and done the most outlandish deeds.
Whether loved or loathed, the Jesuits’ dramatic and wide-ranging impact could never be ignored. By the mid-eighteenth century, they had established more than 650 educational institutions. They were also strongly committed to foreign missions, and like the secular explorers and settlers of the Age of Discovery, they traveled to the Far East, India, and the Americas to stake a claim. They were especially successful in Latin America, where they managed to put numerous villages entirely under Jesuit rule.
The Jesuits’ successes both in Europe and abroad, coupled with rumors of scandal and corruption within the order, soon drew criticism from within the Church and without. Writers such as Pascal and Voltaire wrote polemics against them, and the absolute monarchs of Catholic Europe sought to destroy them. Their power was seen as so threatening that hostility escalated into serious political feuds, and at various times they were either banned or harshly suppressed throughout Europe.
God’s Soldiers is a fascinating chronicle of this celebrated, mysterious, and often despised religious order. Jonathan Wright illuminates as never before their enduring contributions as well as the controversies that surrounded them. The result is an in-depth, unbiased, and utterly compelling history.

And why have they remained so popular? “The Way into Narnia” is the perfect companion for first-time visitors to Narnia, while full of fresh insights for those who have already traveled there often.
Exploring ideas from “On Fairy-Stories,” the influential essay by Lewis’s friend J. R. R. Tolkien, veteran Lewis scholar Peter Schakel suggests that the best way to enter Narnia is to read the Chronicles as fairy tales. Taking a chapter for each of the Chronicles, he walks readers through the works, concluding the tour with a unique and practical section of notes on all seven volumes. These annotations clarify unfamiliar words, pick out allusions, highlight significant details, and offer interpretive comments on problematic passages.This is the practical companion you will need for your next journey through the Chronicles of Narnia.

Her Heart Can See
$38.99Her Heart Can See offers an intimate, informed look at Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915), the most prolific of all American hymn writers. Having lost her sight in infancy through a doctor’s negligence, Fanny went on to compose more than 9,000 hymns, as well as various other songs, cantatas, and lyrical productions. Crosby’s hymns, including such all-time favorites as “Blessed Assurance,” “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior,” “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross,” “Rescue the Perishing,” “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” and “I Am Thine, O Lord,” continue to be sung around the world.
Celebrated in her own day for her gospel hymns, Crosby was also very publicly involved with New York City’s rescue missions and with other benevolent efforts. She rubbed shoulders with the likes of Henry Clay, Grover Cleveland, Winfield Scott, Dwight L. Moody, Ira Sankey, Jenny Lind, P. T. Barnum, and many other famous figures who people these pages. More than two dozen black-and-white photographs depict the people and settings among which Crosby moved.
Drawing on primary sources – including thousands of unpublished Crosby manuscripts – Edith Blumhofer sorts fact from fiction in the life of this remarkable woman. Blumhofer responsibly limns Crosby’s life as a gifted nineteenth-century northeastern Protestant woman, in the process showing why “this diminutive woman” was – and is – so beloved.

Origins Of Tolkiens Middle Earth For Dummies
$22.99J.R.R. Toklien’s novels of Middle-earth-The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and The Silmarillian-have become some of the most famous, and most beloved, literary works of the twentieth century. And the Lord Of The Rings films by director Peter Jackson have re-ignited interest in Tolkien and his works, as well as introduced his stories to a new generation of fans.
Even if you’ve never read the novels and have only seen the films, you know that the world of Middle-earth is a complicated one. Tolkien took great care in representing this world, from creating new language to including very particular cultural details that add to the richness of the world’s fabric. Many other books have been written about Tolkien and his works, but none have come close to providing the kind of reference needed to comprehend the world of Middle-earth. That’s what veteran Dummies author and unabashed Tolkien fan Greg Harvey attempts to do in The Origins Of Tolkien’s Middle-earth For Dummies.
