Meet Me In The Countryside
$14.95The names of the children in this book are of Hebrew origin, and all are found in the Bible. Some of the names are also those of my children and grandchildren. What fun I had matching names with real-life characteristics with character names.
My own name, Rogene or Jeannie, is not biblical, but Jean has Hebrew roots and means “gift of God.” But no matter the origin, everyone’s name is important to Jesus. Jesus calls us by our name (John 10:3, Isaiah 43:1) and loves us always-whatever our age or stage of life. That is wonderful, good news!

Pray Big : Learn To Pray Like An Apostle
$14.99So many of us struggle with prayer. Many books have been written on the subject and there’s a reason for that. Prayer comes hard to most of us, in most seasons. And when we do pray, we often don’t know what to say. What is it that my Father loves to hear about? What are the best things I could pray for my family, my church, and myself?
This short book by renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg combines warmth, clarity, humor, and practicality as he examines Paul’s prayers for his friends in the church in Ephesus. Paul clearly enjoyed prayer, and was excited about it. He expected his Father in heaven to hear what he said, and to act in other people’s lives accordingly. The truths that underpin and shape his prayers will motivate us to pray and set us an example.
So be inspired by the Apostle Paul to pray bigger and pray better as we look to our heavenly Father to do more than all we ask or imagine!

Hearers And Doers
$19.99The foundation of discipleship is sound, scriptural doctrine.
The value of sound doctrine is often misunderstood by the modern church. While it can be dry and dull, when it flows from the story of Scripture, it can be full of life and love. This kind of doctrine, steeped in Scripture, is critical for disciple-making. And it’s often overlooked by modern pastors.
In Hearers and Doers, Kevin Vanhoozer makes the case that pastors, as pastor-theologians, ought to interpret Scripture theologically to articulate doctrine and help cultivate disciples. scriptural doctrine is vital to the life of the church, and local pastor-theologians should be the ones delivering it to their communities.
With arresting prose and striking metaphors, Vanhoozer addresses the most pressing problems in the modern church with one answer: teach sound, scriptural doctrine to make disciples.

Satan The Antichrist
$14.99“True it is that all who deny the Father and the Son are antichrists. It is also true that there are many antichrists abroad today; and that ‘the man of sin’ of the tribulation period will be known as ‘the Antichrist.’ But seeing that Satan is at the back of all anti–Christian forces, and the instigator of all open hatred to God and to His Christ, he can be fitly termed– Satan, the Antichrist.” –Herbert Lockyer
We live in a time when people have cast off restraint. Gone are the days of restraint and moderation. Behaviors and beliefs that would have shocked previous generations are now accepted as commonplace. We live in an age of lewd and carnal gratification. As believers, we know who is responsible for the rotten state of the world: Satan. In these perilous times, it is imperative for the saints of God to fully recognize the strategy and devices of the enemy. A complete understanding of Satan and his plans will force us to look upon these tangled times with knowing eyes.
In Satan the Antichrist, best-selling Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer traces the diabolical plan of Satan through both the Old and New Testaments, and forward through the ages, including the church period and during and after the tribulation. He reveals the spiritual weapons at our disposal, that we might remain resistant and vigilant in our faith by using both the Word of God and the blood of Christ in the promised vanquishing of this evil antichrist.

New Thinking New Future
$24.99“Our thought processes are so familiar, so ingrained, that we can’t imagine thinking a new way. It’s like our minds are running antiquated software that’s slow, with lots of glitches, and is unproductive, but it’s all we’ve ever known. We need to upgrade the software in our heads!”–Sam Chand
Some people thought they made Sam Chand “an offer he couldn’t refuse” when they invited him to speak at a two-day event overseas. After all, they were paying for first-class travel and accommodations for both Chand and his wife, plus throwing in a generous honorarium. But he didn’t jump at the opportunity. Chand was only interested in “the long-term, existential impact” on attendees. He asked, “Will every activity give me the opportunity to influence influencers? And can I be part of a leadership journey instead of just a leadership event?”
Rather than monetary gain, Chand was interested in building relationships. He was thinking in a different way than they were.Chand notes that our perceptions and thinking patterns determine our emotions, values, and beliefs, influencing how we respond to people and events. Sometimes, we are not even aware of the reasons behind what we say and do because our responses may be ingrained from childhood.
But Chand believes all of us can have New Thinking for a New Future. He has set out to help people move beyond specific goals and consider objectives and key results, challenge themselves, ask crucial questions, and “upgrade the software” in their heads. Through this book, Chand hopes to help others “think more deeply, more clearly, and more productively than ever before.”

God Of All Comfort

Romans 1-8
$64.99“If we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.” (Rom. 6:5)
With its themes of grace, sin, justification, and salvation through Christ alone, Paul’s letter to the early church in Rome has been a primary focus of Christian reflection throughout church history. Sixteenth-century reformer Martin Luther reflected the church’s longstanding emphasis on this portion of the canon: “This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. . . . It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes and the better it tastes.”
In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture, church historian Gwenfair Adams guides readers through a diversity of early modern commentary on the first eight chapters of Paul’s epistle to the Romans. Readers will hear from familiar voices as well as discover lesser-known figures, from a variety of theological traditions including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. Drawing upon a wide range of resources-including commentaries, sermons, treatises, and confessions-much of which appears here for the first time in English, this volume provides resources for contemporary preachers, enables scholars to better understand the depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, and seeks to help all those who desire to be united with Christ.

Chicago celebrity and successful pitchman Charles James is supposed to be dead. Everyone believes he was killed in a fiery plane crash. But thanks to a remarkable twist of fate, he’s very much alive and ready for a second chance at life–and love. Narrowly escaping death has brought Charles some clarity: the money, the fame, the fast cars–none of it was making him happy.

Charles decides to embark on an epic quest: He will walk the entire length of Route 66, from Chicago to California, where he hopes to convince Monica to give him another shot. Along the way, Charles is immersed in the deep and rich history of one of America’s most iconic highways. But the greater journey he finds is the one he takes in his heart as he meets people along the road who will change his perspective on the world.

How To Better Understand The Bible
$58.60Most Christians desire to have a better understanding of their Bibles. What they may not realize is that their desire cannot be ascertained without a better comprehension of what scripture refers to as the counsels of God. This is God’s plan for the ages, or what could be termed “God’s big picture.” All too often contemporary Christian teaching concentrates on the comfort of the here and now, losing all connection with the eternal plan of God.
How to Better Understand the Bible explains how the true Christian has been sealed by God with the Holy Spirit. He is the spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out from our hearts, “Abba, Father.” Believers have this new relationship in which God is their Father and they are His children. But not only children, for God considers us His friends, and He will not hide from us any of the things He is going to do. The Spirit has been given to believers as their teacher. His mission is to take what has been given to Jesus of the Father and declare it to us, as well as showing us things to come.Unique to the time of the Christian dispensation is the fact that the Holy Spirit has been sent down. He has revealed to us the mystery of God’s will. In times past, God had kept hidden two vital truths which would serve to complete the revelation and knowledge of His counsels-the universal exaltation of Jesus Christ over all things, and the formation and existence of His body, the church. How to Better Understand the Bible organizes and explains from scripture the full knowledge of God’s counsels. Every true Christian, as a member of Christ’s body, has been given by God an intimate and privileged place in these counsels.

He is the spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out from our hearts, “Abba, Father.” Believers have this new relationship in which God is their Father and they are His children. But not only children, for God considers us His friends, and He will not hide from us any of the things He is going to do. The Spirit has been given to believers as their teacher. His mission is to take what has been given to Jesus of the Father and declare it to us, as well as showing us things to come.Unique to the time of the Christian dispensation is the fact that the Holy Spirit has been sent down. He has revealed to us the mystery of God’s will. In times past, God had kept hidden two vital truths which would serve to complete the revelation and knowledge of His counsels-the universal exaltation of Jesus Christ over all things, and the formation and existence of His body, the church. How to Better Understand the Bible organizes and explains from scripture the full knowledge of God’s counsels. Every true Christian, as a member of Christ’s body, has been given by God an intimate and privileged place in these counsels.

Love Them Encourage Them Tell Them About Me
$41.26A true story filled with the trials of a young life dealing with the reality of death. Born in London, England Carole grew up hearing nothing about the rich Christian heritage that preceded her in this area of South London. She being the youngest of seven children was three years old when her eldest sister took her to church. She heard that Jesus died on the cross for her sins and rose again. She believed and was very thankful to Jesus for doing that for her. However she never had a Bible so she grew up not knowing the Word of God. All she had was the prayers that she prayed to Jesus for her daddy. She knew that Jesus could hear her and she was never alone in her room He was always with her. He showed her two visions. Was Jesus telling her that she would be a part of these visions? All she knew was that Jesus was very real and the visions seemed so normal. But not having the Word of God and not knowing His promises, Carole began to drift, and when those people she loved died she became very angry and rebellious. Why did God take her daddy and all the others? Read how she stumbled through life looking for an identity until the Lord Jesus began to show her that her identity is in Him.

Male And Female Made In Gods Image
$57.26In this era of distorted ideas about our inherent roles, identities, and purposes as men and women, it has never been as important that we seek reconciliation in marriage and families so there can be a more rational approach to the real problems the whole world suffers. We must disseminate God’s truth and extinguish the lies and myths that Satan has embedded into the hearts and minds of many people.
Building on these ideas, in Male and Female Made in God’s Image, author Frances O’Dair offers her perspective on dating, marriage, and family, which she believes reflects the experiences of most married couples before the sexual revolution of the 1960s. She encourages men and women to reflect on the wise or self-serving natures of their past dating and mating choices. If we can stop the reckless self-gratifying use of human sexuality with our children, our loving direction and understanding of God’s truth can set them free from the temptations that have been passed down to recent generations. We must be ready to admit that sexual freedom is a myth and isn’t intended for the well-being of men, women, children, and the unborn.
This faith-inspired treatise explores the true source of happiness, meaning, and fulfilment that God has planned for everyone within the sacrament of marriage and the family circle.

I Will See You In Heaven My Friend
$31.93“Are there animals in heaven?”
Losing a pet is an experience that leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. I find that just talking about a rainbow bridge doesn’t really help. It is a beautiful thought, but I am a Bible-believing Christian, so that led me to look up all references to rainbow in the Bible.
Although there is no mention of a “rainbow bridge,” what I found was that the rainbow covenant God made with Noah wasn’t just to mankind but to every living creature that was with him! It was a covenant between God and all of his creation! God made an eternal, binding promise to animals!
If they are temporary or if he didn’t love them, why would he make this everlasting covenant with them? That inspired my journey to start at Genesis and walk through the entire Bible to see what God says. I decided to share the answer and hope that it blesses all who read it.

More REAL : Embracing The Authentic Life God Created You For
$12.99LESS Shame LESS Masks MORE Real Jesus promises “life and life to the full”. So why do so many people walk away from faith–and not just teenagers but people who have been in church for years? ?The full life offered is one of genuine relationship with God and others, but has our tendency to fight vulnerability, mask weakness and hide disappointment cost us the real thing? Have we tried to keep it together, keep the faith, until we simply can’t do it anymore? Following Jesus should not require fronts: when we fully grasp the love of God towards us, in all our mess and sin and doubt, we experience the freedom that vulnerability, honesty, and sacrifice brings. That’s real life; life to the full. MORE Real explores how we can build lives on truth, and cultivate a real faith that lasts through the storms of life. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blog posts on a theme, the more series will afford readers the space (whether it be five minutes on the subway or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way.

Shot Caller : A Latino Gangbanger’s Miraculous Escape From A Life Of Violen
$17.99The Shot Caller is a gritty memoir reminiscent of the international bestseller The Cross and the Switchblade.
Casey Diaz came to this country when he was two years old, the oldest son of El Salvadorian immigrants who settled in the barrios near downtown Los Angeles in the 1970s. An abusive father who constantly beat up his mother propelled Casey into street gangs at the age of 11. He rose quickly within the ranks of the Rockwood Street Locos and participated in home invasions, car jackings, and stabbings of rivals, often with a screwdriver or knife.
At 16 he was arrested and sentenced to nearly thirteen years in a state prison for second-degree murder and 52 counts of robbery. After two years Casey was shipped to New Folsom State Prison and placed in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day.
When an older black woman committed to prison ministry approaches his cell and tells him Jesus loves him and God is going to use him one day, Casey scoffs at her. Then, one day a miraculous event takes place in Casey’s cell. Just like a movie, his life is “projected” onto his cell wall. He sees himself as a young child in his old neighborhood and then his early days in the gang–scenes that only he could remember. Then he sees a long-haired man carrying a cross with a mob yelling at him. The man is nailed to the cross and placed between two others sentenced to die. The man on the cross looks at Casey and says, “I’m doing this for you.”
Casey hits the cell floor and weeps. He knows this is Almighty God speaking to him. He confesses his many sins and expresses deep remorse. When he is done, he hears God tell him to ask to see a chaplain. After hearing Casey’s story, the chaplain takes out his Bible and reads the Crucifixion story and explains God’s plan for salvation, which Casey accepts.
The Shot Caller is both a never-to-be-forgotten insider’s look at the violent world of gangs and prison life and a powerful, modern demonstration of how God will go to the most miraculous extremes to reach even the worst sinners. Today, Casey Diaz stands as a trophy of God’s glorious grace.

How The Body Of Christ Talks
$23.75In today’s highly-charged social and political environment, we often don’t know how to talk well with others–especially people whose backgrounds differ from our own C. Christopher Smith, coauthor of the critically acclaimed and influential Slow Church, addresses why conversation has become such a challenge in the 21st century and argues that it is perhaps the most needed spiritual practice of our individualistic age.
Smith likens practicing conversation to the working of the human body. Bodies are wondrous symphonies of diverse, intricate parts striving for our health, and our health suffers when these parts fail to converse effectively. Likewise, we must learn to converse effectively with those who differ from us in the body of Christ so we can embody Christ together in the world. In community, we learn what it means to belong to others and to a story that is bigger than ourselves.
Smith shows how church communities can be training hubs where we learn to talk and listen to each other with kindness and compassion. The book explores how churches can initiate and sustain conversation, including working through seasons of conflict; suggests the contours of a spirituality that can foster conversation; and features stories from a diverse range of congregations that are learning to practice conversation.
