Once Upon A Tree

Once upon a tree… there was a Savior.
Have you seen the Cross? Have you felt its splintered beams? Have you heard its call? Have you grasped its peculiar teachings of death and life and love and hope? Have you heard the man nailed against its rough grain call your name? Once in a great while, a writer paints a picture with words that leaves you breathless. On rare occasions, an author captures the sights, the sounds, the scandal of a premier historical event and impresses them upon your heart. Master teacher Calvin Miller has done all this and more in this signature book on the mysteries and meanings of the Cross Of Christ.

Walk On
$16.49Add to cartMarney’s journal, written over a span of fourteen years, provides an intimate look into her life and faith. Her daily habit was to spend one to two hours in “quiet time” reading, praying, and meditating. But it was only when she started writing her journal that she realized her strengths and weaknesses of her faith. Her journal entries reflect the spiritual growth that followed. Varying in tone from light-hearted, lyrical, and poetic to serious and somber, her thoughts are always trusting and faithful. Marney applied that unquenchable love of God to daily living, difficult decisions, family life, and ultimately her own impending death. This journal is her legacy that she asked to be shared. This is recommended for slow, reflective reading.

Road Of Life
$22.95Add to cartIn his thirteen years as Vicar, popular author David Adam welcomed over 1 million pilgrims to the Holy Island of Lindesfarne in Northumberland. Each pilgrim had a story to tell and each came for a different reason. Some radiated a sense of God’s presence, and others were simply too hurried to do anything but look around quickly and move on to the next site.
Using the stories of pilgrims Adam encountered on Holy Island, he explores how we can approach our own lives as pilgrimage, without ever leaving the comfort of our homes. How can we move beyond what is safe in our world and encounter the Mystery? How can we learn to disconnect from all the technology that keeps us multi-tasking all day and all night? How can we rediscover awe in the world around us?
In the wonderful prose and poetry for which he is so well-loved, David Adam helps us get on the road of life, even when we don’t have time to travel to distant lands.

Writers In The Spirit
$18.95Add to cartWith more than 184 Christian writer’s groups and 155 conferences, thousands of writers are looking for encouragement and insight. Yet, every Christian who writes faces the same issue: finding daily inspiration and creativity.
Designed to be both encouraging and practical, “Writers in the Spirit” guides writers from the novice stage to becoming dedicated authors, something that Carol Rottman achieved when she put aside all other “paying work” to write full time.
Included in these pages are insight and practical tips on such topics as:
Writing Realism:”Take yet another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were on the first scroll …” (Jeremiah 36:27). Popular media have romanticized writers’ lives to be devoted entirely to making beautiful stories. Writers in the Spirit explains the practical issues that writers face and shows how it is possible to overcome dry spells, endless revisions and even self-doubt.
Writing with Fervor:Much of the Apostle Paul’s writing was done in prison. Paul’s passion to win people to Christ overcame any obstacle. While many new writers feel restrained, Writers in the Spirit shows how to find the passion that fuels the writing process.
Writing in the Spirit:”This is what we speak, not words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit …” (1 Corinthians 2:13). Rottman shows that a personal relationship with God is the best source of inspiration. Mediating on God’s word will yield creativity from the Creator.
“Many of us are called as witnesses to the life-experiences God has entrusted to us. If your witness takes the form of the written word, this book will go with you as a trusted companion traveling the same path.” – Former President Jimmy CarterAuthor, Statesman, and Thirty-ninth President of the United States
“‘Writers in the Spirit’ helps connect me to God while reminding me that writing is a gift from Him and a calling to be both treasured and nurtured.”- Sally Stuart, Editor, Christian Writers’ Market Guide

Shining Moments : Visions Of The Holy In Ordinary Lives
$19.95Add to cartThe Bible is filled with stories of shining moments — Moses’ face shone as he came down from the mountain with the ten commandments; Jesus’ face changed and his clothes became dazzling white in a transfiguration witnessed by the disciples; Paul was blinded by a light and heard the voice of Christ on the road to Damascus — and many modern Christians have had equally life-changing experiences of the Lord’s power and presence.
In this third volume of the acclaimed Visions series, 60 contributors share their authentic, intensely personal accounts of holy experiences. Rosmarie Trapp of the Sound of Music family tells of a moment of assurance when “the Lord visited me in a bright, golden light” whose “golden glow brought peace to my soul.” Ralph Milton, author of the historical novel Julian’s Cell, describes a visitation by his late sister: “We were singing together as we often did as children … I don’t recall ever having a memory or dream as clear and powerful as that one, and it left me with a sense of joy and peace.” Karen Steinke recounts the warmth she felt at the moment of her baptism: “I looked up to see the form of Jesus with an overpowering light surrounding him …”
Whether they relate transforming moments like visions, healings, or visitations by angels, joyous moments like being in the presence of a loved one who has died, or just the simple sense of God’s presence while singing in church or sitting in a sunny meadow on a warm spring day, the vignettes in Shining Moments are a testament to the indescribable comfort and peace of an encounter with the divine. And because each story also illustrates a scripture passage, Shining Moments is a valuable preaching resource and an excellent catalyst for small group discussion. But even more, this book provides inspiring and heart-warming reading for personal devotion and spiritual growth.

Original price was: $16.99.$12.97Current price is: $12.97.Add to cartAfter many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to “listen” to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but they were helping her grow closer to God. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless you with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

Ordinary People Extraordinary Faith
$18.99Add to cartIn spite of a diving accident that has left her paralyzed for more than thirty years, Joni Eareckson Tada has been able to build a life of faith and purpose. The peace she has found as she confronts the painful realities of life as a quadriplegic has made her a hero to many people. In Ordinary People, Extraordinary Faith, Joni lets us know who her heroes are. Inside she tells the stories of people who inspire her with their faith and courage. Although Joni has met many famous “heroes of the faith” through her ministry, the lives she shares here are not the Billy Grahams of the world. They are a mother, a housewife, a nursing home resident, a child. Some are missionaries or pastors; others are bank tellers or data entry clerks. All of these people have touched Joni’s life and the lives of others as they found their faith rise to the occasion – to forgive an assailant, to find strength despite the debilitating effects of cerebral palsy, to choose love in the face of racial prejudice, and to discover in the midst of questioning that God Himself is the answer to all questions.

More Than I Could Ever Ask
$19.99Add to cartMeeting Lori Bakker today-a young woman with a bright, outgoing personality, you could hardly imagine her as a teenager living a life of flagrant sexual promiscuity and drug abuse. Nor would you picture her as having had five abortions before she was twenty-one.

Lori’s story is one of forgiveness-finding forgiveness from God, learning to forgive the men who hurt her, and most of all, discovering inner peace. Her story also shows the power of love and faithfulness. After she was single and celibate for nearly nine years, Lori met and fell in love with a man she had known only by reputation-Jim Bakker. Today Lori and Jim-two broken lives brought together by God as one-have been restored and are busy helping restore others to spiritual and emotional wholeness.

To Pause At The Threshold
$17.95Add to cart“A threshold is a sacred thing,” goes the traditional saying of ancient wisdom. In some corners of the earth, in some traditional cultures, and in monastic life, this is still remembered. But in our fast-paced modern world, this wisdom is often lost on us.
It is important for us to remember the significance of the threshold. While it is certainly true that thresholds mark the end of one thing and the beginning of another, they also act as borders-the places in between, the points of transition. These can be physical, such as the geographical borders of a country; others, such as the spiritual border between the inner and outer world-between ourselves and others-are intangible.
In To Pause at the Threshold, Esther de Waal looks at what it is like to live in actual “border country,” the Welsh countryside with its “slower rhythms” and “earth-linked textures,” and explores the importance of opening up and being receptive to one’s surroundings, whatever they may be.

Story Behind the Book
For nearly six years, Rich shared his thoughts about faith and life through his columns in Release magazine. When his first column was published in the spring of 1991, the editors introduced him this way: “Rich not only has a lot to say…he also has a unique way of saying it. And although Mr. Mullins could easily fit into that intellectual bohemian-type category (we’re sure he could hold his own in a discussion with any theologian or philosopher of old), most often, his message is a straightforward call back to the principles of faith. He’s a poet, a scholar, a gentleman, and yes, just a little bit off-center. But that’s why we like him, and are pleased to welcome Rich to Release with this regular column.
We trust you’ll love him and what he has to say as much as we do…” Rich had a way with words, and a collection of his writings seems an appropriate tribute to a man who has been referred to as “the greatest songwriter of our time.”

Blindsided By Grace
$16.00Add to cartAn active pastor, husband, father, and triathlete, Bob Molsberry was nearly killed in 1997 in a hit and run accident on a rural highway. After a long period of recovery and rehabilitation, he is a paraplegic who has remained active in family, ministry, and athletics. This book reflects on his experience of disability not as a medical condition in serach of a cure, nor as a tragedy to be pitied, but as a cross-cultural adventure similar to learning to live in a foreign country.
