Samantha Sanderson On The Scene
$12.99As Samantha and the rest of the middle schoolers prepare for the upcoming Spring Fest, ‘mean girl’ Nikki faces the reality that her parents are getting divorced. It’s hard for Samantha to sympathize because of Nikki’s mean girl reputation. But when Nikki becomes victim of a string of attacks, Samantha takes it upon herself and her super sleuth abilities to get down to the bottom of the bullying. Plus, articles on bullying are just the kind of serious topic the school paper needs instead of fluff like popularity tips. Samantha enlists the help of her tech-savvy BFF, Makayla, and while the two track down clues, they leave a trail of trouble behind, and may even be directly responsible for a break in of their very own school’s computer lab! Nikki is touched by Samantha’s assistance and warms up to her, which only makes Aubrey all the ruder to Samantha, but Samantha doesn’t care. She’s comfortable in her own skin, and vows to help others feel the same way. The Samantha Sanderson series is about an ordinary girl with extraordinary dreams. Each book touches on a crime straight from headlines, from bomb threats to bullying, while following Samantha and her friends as they navigate middle-school and questions of faith.

That question changed Shelene’s life forever. In Love, Skip, Jump, Shelene shares how she loved being safe and comfortable. She had no desire to leave the USA. But she couldn’t shake the question and soon after was on a plane to Africa.

Liberating Black Church History
$21.99“No serious scholar in biblical studies today can introduce students to his or her field without taking into account the contributions of African American scholarship. The long traditions of biblical interpretation in the black church, and the innovative research and writing performed by African-American scholars in recent years are now essential components of a critical study of the Bible.
Yet up to now, knowing how best to introduce the fruits of African American biblical scholarship to students, particularly those in the survey class, has been difficult. Good resources exist, yet too often they were not written with the needs of introductory students in mind. This book meets that need by providing an overview of the most important developments in African American approaches to biblical scholarship. Written with the needs of beginning students in mind, it will offer insight into the particular ways that African American scholarship has shaped the world of biblical study.”

Jesus Justice And Gender Roles
$7.99At one point in her life, author and co-founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church Kathy Keller sought pastoral ordination. Yet she came to adopt the view that men and women have different roles in marriage and ministry, and that fulfilling such roles pleases God and leads to greater personal fulfillment. In this unapologetic but nuanced piece, Keller presents a caring and careful case for biblical gender differences and the complementarian view of women in ministry. At the same time, she encourages women to teach and lead in the church in ways that may startle some complementarians. Readers on both sides of this hot-button topic will be challenged by her ministry-tested and thoroughly Scriptural perspective.

Just Do Something
$12.99Why won’t God reveal his special will for my life already?
Because he doesn’t intend to… So says Kevin DeYoung in this punchy book about making decisions the godly way.
Many of us are listening for the still small voice to tell us what’s next instead of listening to the clear voice in Scripture telling us what’s now. God does have a will for your life, but it is the same as everyone else’s: Seek first the kingdom of God. And quit floundering.
With pastoral wisdom and tasteful wit, DeYoung debunks unbiblical ways of understanding God’s will and constructs a simple but biblical alternative: live like Christ. He exposes the frustrations of our waiting games and unfolds the freedom of finding God’s will in Scripture and then simply doing it.
This book is a call to put down our Magic 8-Balls and pick up God’s Word. It’s a call to get wisdom, follow Christ, be holy, and live freely. To just do something.

Good Dad : Becoming The Father You Were Meant To Be
$19.99It’s never too late to be a better father Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood—in part because his own ‘fathers’ failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim’s life by the time he turned 13. Isn’t it odd—and reminiscent of the hand of God—that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up? Or could it be that successful parenting is discovered not in the perfect, peaceful household but in the midst of battles and messy situations, where God must constantly be called to the scene? That is the mystery unraveled in this book. Using his own expertise, humor, and inexhaustible wealth of stories, Jim will show you that God can make you a good dad, a great dad, in spite of the way you’ve grown up and in spite of the mistakes you’ve made. Maybe even because of them. It’s not about becoming a perfect father. It’s about trying to become a better father, each and every day. It’s about building relationships with your children through love, grace, patience, and fun—and helping them grow into the men and women they’re meant to be.

Evangelism : How The Whole Church Speaks Of Jesus

You Can Begin Again (Large Type)
$52.85It’s never too late for grace. Look closely enough and you’ll see that theme all through the Bible. Page after page, story after story–God delights in turning tragic endings into new beginnings. The barren give birth, doubters become deliverers, and harlots are recast as heroes. In every biblical fresh start, we are reminded that with God, new beginnings aren’t the exception; they’re the rule.
Using a blend of inspiring stories, Scriptural principles, and straight-talk, in IT’S NEVER TOO LATE, Joyce Meyer powerfully demonstrates that God isn’t done with you yet. If you’re stuck in a rut, disappointed by an outcome, hurting from a wound, failing in an endeavor, struggling in a relationship, or unsure about the future . . . don’t give up. Don’t give up on yourself, and don’t give up on the God Who loves you.
If you thought it was too late, it’s not. It’s never too late for grace.

Jesus Or Nothing

This book-written in an accessible, conversational style-uses the fictional journey of a young man named Zach to illustrate how the gospel provides a rock-solid foundation for life and offers an explanation for our existence, grace for our guilt, and meaning for our mortality.

BibliographyAdditional Info
The conception of “powers” and “principalities” in Paul’s thought has been amply explored-but how did the powers “work” in the Pauline community? Robert Ewusie Moses argues that Paul’s conception of the powers is best understood through examining the practices he advocates for the early believers. In this detailed study, Moses shows that Paul believed certain practices guarded believers from the dominion of the powers while others exposed humans to the work of powers of darkness. Moses traces the distinct function of “power-practices” in each of Paul’s letters and draws illuminating comparisons with traditional African religious practices.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

3. Tremulous Abyss: The Mystical Lutheranism Of Boehme And Tillich
4. Encountering The Im-Possible: Caputo’s “Weak” God
5. The Rest Is SilenceAdditional Info
The modern and contemporary legacy of Luther’s theology is a vital topic of continuing investigation, assessment, and construction. Rupturing Eschatology is Eric Trozzo’s constructive retrieval of Luther’s theology of the cross for the purpose of establishing a contemporary Lutheran and “emerging” account of the cross, silence, and eschatology.Seeking to overcome a tendency toward extrinsic notions of divine glory and transformation, the author explores Luther’s early construction of the theology of the cross and divine hiddenness in concert with the work of the Lutheran mystical tradition and modern Lutheran theology, such as Jurgen Moltmann, Paul Tillich, and John Caputo. Trozzo argues for an intra-historical and intra-worldly account of divine possibility oriented around a contemporary theology of the cross marked by reclamation of the biblical and mystical practice of silence as the space that creates hope.

9. Three Movements That Marginalized Visions Of The Anthropic Form Of The Lord
Conclusion
BibliographyAdditional Info
The “dilemma of early Christology,” Kaiser observes, is found in the early Christian claims to have “seen the Lord” and “beheld his glory”-expressions that in early Judaism would have pointed unequivocally to visions of Israel’s God. The shift of those claims onto the figure of Jesus is usually explained either as a result of the resurrection of Jesus, presumed as a historical event, or on the influence of pagan polytheism. Kaiser examines the phenomenon of “kyriocentric” visions in Second Temple Judaism, asking whether such traditions are sufficient to account for the shape of early claims regarding the divinity of Christ.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Conclusion
BibliographyAdditional Info
James C. Scott’s discussion of “hidden transcripts” of defiance or resistance among subordinate groups has been taken up by scholars who claim to detect elements of defiant transcripts in biblical texts. In Rumors of Resistance, Amanda C. Miller uses Scott’s theory to explain tensions within the narrative of the Gospel of Luke, between more accommodationist narratives and poetic or parabolic passages that announce a dramatic eschatological reversal. Miller concludes that Luke’s audience would have been challenged to resist the dominant values of Roman imperial culture even as the narrative framework of Luke partially obscures that “transcript.”Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

All cultures use story as a way to make sense of life experiences. Yet for many, particularly in the western world, only a single story line is seen as the “real truth.” Using narrative therapy as a caregiving approach can help individuals uncover multilayered narratives that are far more complex and liberating. Coyle contends that not only are these more complex narratives more helpful in giving our lives meaning, they also critique the cultural discourses in which they arose.Drawing on both theological approaches and real life experiences, Coyle creates a contextual pastoral theology that helps caregivers find the power of God in people’s stories.

Cauldron : Supernatural Implications Of The Current Middle East And Why Wha
$33.25Rumors of war boil angrily within the Middle East at this present hour. Just as Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel Nasser vowed to push all Jews into the Mediterranean, so have today’s Israel-haters proclaimed they will push all of God’s chosen people into the sea, erasing all traces of the Jewish state from the land. Iran is on the brink of producing atomic weaponry with which to accomplish that avowed threat. Many fear World War III could begin if the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) attacks Iran’s nuclear production facilities. The struggle is far more than a modern one. It goes back to the beginning of man’s existence on Planet Earth. And now the push by both Muslims and Jews to build the Third Temple in Jerusalem is seen by some as a trigger event that could ultimately boil over into all-out Armageddon.

Most of our “heroes” are related to human achievement and glory, but the Bible has a very different concept. The list of people who were great in God’s eyes might shock you. This devotional book is about their stories.
The 90 devotions feature the qualities of Bible characters that made them heroic. From Moses to Esther to Jesus, kids will learn more about how these Bible people pleased God. They will know that qualities like courage, worshiping God, and being a true friend are heroic actions. The devotional features line drawings of the Bible characters to further help youth identify with and learn about the people in the Bible.

Commitment To Unleash Your Leader Potential

Personal Journey Of A Black Common Sense Conservative
$19.9828 Chapters
Additional Info
…our country has fallen deeper into the abyss of apathy, low expectations, and dependence on government rather than commitment to excellence, expectation of achievement, and fierce dedication to liberty.Carl Pittman is unflinching in speaking his truth, and his plainspoken insights let light into the darkness of our country’s increasingly aggressive ignorance. The foundation for his life philosophy comes from his mother, a devoted, ferociously wise woman.
Mama could not read, could barely write her name, and struggled for most of her fifty years on this earth, but always told us that being poor didn’t mean you had to be a thief, because you could work, nor be dirty, because soap was cheap.
“Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter who’s doing it.”
This last maxim-which should be simple to understand-lends perspective to many of the issues our country handles with kid gloves because of the race of those involved. Many white Americans despise President Obama because of his race. Many black Americans find no fault with Obama for the same reason. In fact, both positions are racist. Pittman’s position?
Barack Obama should be prosecuted…because his politics are being placed above the safety and security of this nation.
The Constitution is under attack from parties who prefer an a la carte body of law. Concerning the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Pittman opines, “Had there been a good guy with a gun there, I believe the outcome would have been much different.”
The Personal Journey of a Black Common Sense Conservative is not, in the end, about politics. It is about, very simply, what’s right and fair in alignment with what the term American truly means. Pittman’s is a bold and refreshing voice hoping to drown out the roaring passivity of a complacent, entitled society.

Do You See What Im Saying
$19.36In Do You See What I’m Saying?, Dr. Claude asserts that we have the ability to ensure more successful journeys by following the “road map” laid out by the Holy Spirit. Given that God is in ultimate control of our lives, He has shown favor by giving us the ability to steer ourselves directly into the path of success. This book examines the “eight mental laws we must all understand,” laws which all refer back to seeing (imagining), speaking (confessing), and believing (faith). And that can be summarized even more succinctly: “If you want something different, you must do something different.” Practical and wildly encouraging, Dr. Claude points out the futility of passive, sideline faith and reinforces the message of faith in action, declaring the spiritual progression: “conceive, believe, confess, and receive.”
Without faith in what you cannot see, it will be impossible to walk in your calling or make the right moves. These chess-like maneuvers can be classified as “destiny decisions,” which are best made when you lay aside your will and desires and concentrate on the will of God.
Drawing from Scripture, the habits of highly effective people, scientific research, and notable “godly movers and shakers,” Dr. Claude also asserts that despite our desire for a smooth life journey free of obstacles, overcoming challenges is essential for growth in Christ. His analyses of pertinent Scriptures are clear, insightful, and comprehensive. Do You See What I’m Saying? is filled with godly advice that can be applied right now.
