God In The Whirlwind
$25.00Building on years of research and teaching, experienced author and theologian David Wells offers a remedy for evangelicalism’s superficial theology and weightless conception of God: a journey to discover the paradoxical nature of his holiness and his love. We all struggle, at times, to hold that paradox together, commonly resulting in problems such as liberalism or legalism. Yet understanding how God’s holiness is inextricably bound to his love is what enables us to live between the two extremes and defines our life of service in this world. In the vein of classics such as Packer’s Knowing God, Wells’s latest work is written at an accessible level so that all readers can cultivate a balanced vision of the God who belongs in the center of it all.

Extremist For Love
$40.00In an era where people are often sorted into the categories of ‘thinker’ and ‘doer’, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stands out – a rare mix of the deeply profound thinker and intellect who put the fruit of that reflection into the service of direct social action.
In this helpful telling of King’s life, Dr. Rufus Burrow knits together the story of King’s family, his intellectual journey, and his experience of the pervasive racism of America in that era in a way that highlights the onnections between King’s thought and his actions.The result is a renewed understanding of the roots of King’s actions and a fresh appreciation for how intellectual activity can impact our world in surprisingly direct ways.

3. Kafr Bir’im, Elias Chacour, And The Arboreal Imagination
4 Return Visits To ‘Imwas And The Liturgical Subversion Of Ethnocratic Topology
Mapping The Future: The Promise Of PalimpsestsAdditional Info
One of the most persistent, if vexing, issues is the state of affairs in the ancient land of Palestine. Palestinian Christians bear the enormous brunt of suffering and dispossession in the current situation, and are burdened even more by Christian political appropriation of Zionism.
Through an analysis of Palestinian refugee mapping practices for returning to their homeland, Alain Epp Weaver argues against the political theology embedded in Zionist cartographic practices that refuse and eliminate all evidence of co-existence, and offers a political theology of redrawing the territory compatible with a bi-national vision for a shared Palestinian-Israeli future.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Although several scholars have written about how Luke portrays Jesus and the apostles as prophets, no one has yet provided a comprehensive theory as to why Luke’s protagonists resemble the prophets.McWhirter shows that Luke uses these biblical prophets as precedents, seeking to legitimate the apostles’ teachings in the face of events, such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the deaths of Peter and Paul, which seem to contradict those teachings. In order to show that all this was part of God’s plan, Luke compares Jesus and his witnesses to Israel’s prophets who were rejected by their own people.

Seng-Kong Tan argues that human participation in the divine-a classical theological axiom most notably associated with the Eastern Orthodox tradition-is a central theme in the theology of Jonathan Edwards. This notion, Tan contends, is a defining motif for the entire systematic sweep of Edwards’s theology, and it serves to focus and determine the contours of Edwards’s thought. Fullness Received and Returned situates Edwards’s theology within the folds of the classical theological tradition, while arguing that Edwards’s is a unique and creative form of Reformed theology.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Sovereign Choice : How The Cross Restored Mans Free Will
$19.98For centuries Calvinism has divided the Christian community. Sovereign Choice seriously challenges the tenets of Calvinism and presents a whole new approach to viewing God, this fallen world and how we ourselves choose our eternal destiny. Calvinism defines sovereignty as God being in complete and absolute control of all things making true free will impossible. Sovereign Choice sees sovereignty as God being the supreme power who chooses to grant free will to whomever He desires. Free will is a gift from God motivated by His love. The Bible clearly states that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Sovereign Choice encourages all Christians to end this senseless debate over a flawed philosophy and return to the simplicity of the Gospel message. Let us stop debating and start proclaiming “that whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!”

Most Encouraging Book On Hell Ever
$9.99It’s become a modern question because of the traditional doctrine: How can God be both loving and wrathful?
In The Most Encouraging Book on Hell Ever, Thor Ramsey (an author, pastor, and comedian…but don’t let that fool you) tackles this question by probing deeper. Avoiding the caricatures of God as either a Frankenstein out to crush you or a Santa Claus ready to grant your every wish (as long as you’ve been really, really good), he asks, “What changes about God if this traditional understanding of the doctrine of hell changes?” As it turns out, everything changes.
If you think a God without hell is more loving, this book will surprise you. While many believe that by eliminating hell they’re getting a new and improved God, this new thinking is more troubling than the old doctrine itself. The new doctrine of hell being sold today is only good news at the most superficial level, leaving us with a wrath-less God who tolerates evils that make even the average atheist cringe.
What if hell itself is good news about God? What if hell highlights everything we find glorious about God? What if the loss of hell leaves the world with a smaller God? Discover why the church needs a new and different breed of hellfire-and-brimstone preacher in the pulpit today. If you can’t imagine how the doctrine of hell could ever make you say, “Praise God,” this book (often funny, but deadly serious) lays out the biblical vision.

In His Hands
$25.61This is vivid, cinematic storytelling at its best. Peopled by a cast of exquisitely drawn characters-unique as much in dialogue as exposition-In His Hands is at once a solid genre piece and an engaging, enthralling story that defies any restrictive category. Never mind watering rights, cattle rustling or bounty hunting: This is about real people facing real challenges, real pain, real life-or-death struggles day after day: betrayal, wonder, hypocrisy and redemption. The Old West setting is not incidental … the setting of In His Hands is as much a character as Callon, Daniel or Mary. But the life events, challenges, relationships, emotions-all of it is universal, relatable, immediate and deeply involving. Through the melancholy, the stars were bright, clear, and eternal. Packed with emotion, action and musical writing. Brilliant.

If God Be For Us
$15.61The Black Church will survive because it is all about faith and family. The Black Church is not simply a crowd of people that gather in a centralized location on Sunday mornings. For many, the Black Church is viewed as an extension of one’s immediate family. This extension of family is what gives the congregation a sense of community. I’m the grandson of a pastor. I grew up in the pews of the Baptist church. As a result, I have many mothers and aunts and uncles who are not blood relatives. But then again, they are blood relatives. They are my mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, uncle and aunt in the Lord. As our churches grow in number, we must also grow in ministry. The only way to do that is to grow in relationship one with the other.
The Black Church is a village. In the most traditional use of the word, villages are small groups of families who are situated together for sociability and defense. In the village, people look out for one another. In the village, there are many mothers and fathers. The village concept is such that the success of the individual is directly connected to the success of the group. Many Black Churches function as little villages. We help each other. We support each other. There is a sense of safety that the Black Church provides to Black communities. While all Black people do not attend Black Churches, the majority of Black families appreciate the proximity of this institution within its village. It is all about faith and family. The Black Church, the black family, will survive if God be for us.

Dangerous Sisters Of The Hebrew Bible
$43.33Fathers, sons, and mothers take center stage in the Bibles grand narratives, Amy Kalmanofsky observes. Sisters and sisterhood receive less attention in scholarship but, she argues, play an important role in narratives, revealing anxieties related to desire, agency, and solidarity among women playing out (and playing against) their roles in a patrilineal society. Most often, she shows, sisters are destabilizing figures in narratives about family crisis, where property, patrimony, and the resilience of community boundaries are at risk. Kalmanofsky demonstrates that the particular role of sisters had important narrative effects, revealing previously underappreciated dynamics in Israelite society.

Analogous Uses Of Language Eucharistic Identity And The Baptist Vision
$49.98The author argues that Baptist theologian James William McClendon Jr’s articulation of the ‘baptist’ vision entails an account of the real presence of Christ’s body and blood that is internally faithful to that vision. Furthermore, such an account of real presence suggests that the ‘baptist’ vision is itself a contribution of Baptists to ecumenical Christianity. The argument is set in the context of some contemporary Baptist engagement with ecumenical Christianity, particularly historic Catholic Christianity.

Except The Lord Build The House
$15.61My pediatrician walked in. My jubilant “Hi!” brought a beet-red flush to his face-my heart stopped as he groped for the only words I actually heard, “…and I’m sorry, but your son expired at eight this morning.”
This is a breathtakingly courageous testimony of learning to lean utterly on God. Enduring the most devastating tragedy that a parent can ever experience, Carlsen learns the futility of trying to micromanage the Creator. She learns to listen, learns the nature of true obedience to His will, and her heart and spirit are forged into greater and greater intimacy of trust in the Lord.
Her faith is tested again and again as she surrenders every facet of every nuance of every decision into God’s control. In the midst of her pain, the author gains invaluable insight into the nature of Christian growth, drawing a parallel to the raising up of a baby to maturity. In her clear and direct voice, the concept is staggering in its simplicity:
Imagine if pastors were able to assign mature elders and deacons to patiently nurture and instruct new believers about how to “work out their own salvation” day by day…The church is not a building we come to; it is a living structure we are part of. We don’t come together to act like Christians as part of an exclusive club.
This book examines intimate subjects that are difficult to read about-no reader will get to the end unaffected-yet at the same time…there’s the most incongruous thread of joy woven through the whole. There is teaching here, and a whole universe of emotion. A journey of hope and deepening faith, Except the Lord Build the House is a deeply moving experience.

Kingdom Woman Group Video Experience Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)

That’s why a Kingdom Woman always seeks to align herself and operate under the authority of God-in every area of life. With practical insights and applications from coauthor Chrystal Evans Hurst, Tony Evans explains how that process can unleash new purpose, power, and possibilities-in both the lives of Kingdom Women and those they love. This curriculum can be covered in about six weeks.

Promise Kept : A Novel
$16.99God was going to save her marriage, Allison was sure of it. But neither her husband nor her marriage had been saved.
What had become of His promise?Tony Kavanagh had been Allison’s dream-come-true. They were in love within days, engaged within weeks, married and pregnant within a year. Her cup bubbled over with joy . . . but years later, that joy had been extinguished by unexpected trials.
The day Allison issued her husband an ultimatum, she thought it might save him. She never expected he would actually leave. She was certain God had promised to heal; it was clear that she’d misunderstood.
Now, living in the quiet mountain cabin she inherited from her single, self-reliant Great Aunt Emma, Allison must come to terms with her grief and figure out how to adapt to small town life. But when she finds a wedding dress and a collection of journals in Emma’s attic, a portrait of her aunt emerges that takes Allison completely by surprise: a portrait of a heartbroken woman surprisingly like herself.
As Allison reads the incredible story of Emma’s life in the 1920s and 1930s, she is forced to ask a difficult question: Does she really surrender every piece of her life to the Lord?
Drawing from her own heart-wrenching story of redemption, A Promise Kept is Robin Lee Hatcher’s emotionally charged thanksgiving to a God who answers prayers-in His own time and His own ways.

Hyper Grace : Exposing The Dangers Of The Modern Grace Message
$15.99At a time when the church needs an urgent wake-up call and a fresh encounter with Jesus, the hyper-grace message is lulling many to sleep.
Is there a new reformation sweeping the church today, a reformation as radical and important as the Protestant Reformation that rocked the world five hundred years ago?
According to a growing number of Christian leaders, the answer is yes. But many of these modern grace teachers, in their zeal to safeguard the glories of grace, are preaching their message without regard to fundamental aspects of biblical truth including:
*God’s requirement for holy living from His people
*The impact sin has on our relationships with God
*The foundational relevance of the Old Testament to our lives as ChristiansWithout watering down the Bible’s true message of grace, Michael Brown exposes the facts about the modern grace message that are too often embraced by believers who are not just looking for freedom from legalism but also freedom from God’s standards.

Apocalypse Against Empire
$45.99The year 167 B.C.E. marked the beginning of a period of intense persecution for the people of Judea, as Seleucid emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes attempted — forcibly and brutally — to eradicate traditional Jewish religious practices. In Apocalypse against Empire Anathea Portier-Young reconstructs the historical events and key players in this traumatic episode in Jewish history and provides a sophisticated treatment of resistance in early Judaism.
Building on a solid contextual foundation, Portier-Young argues that the first Jewish apocalypses emerged as a literature of resistance to Hellenistic imperial rule. In particular, Portier- Young contends, the book of Daniel, the Apocalypse of Weeks, and the Book of Dreams were written to supply an oppressed people with a potent antidote to the destructive propaganda of the empire — renewing their faith in the God of the covenant and answering state terror with radical visions of hope.

Restless Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99In “Restless,” an 8-session, video-based small group Bible study, Bible study teacher and author Jennie Allen helps you discover a practical plan to identify the threads of your life and how to intentionally weave them together for God’s glory and purposes.
“Restless” explores this important question: “Do I matter?” And Jennie asks, “We livewith lots of things, lots of people…but do we live for something?”
Using the story of Joseph, Jennie explains how his suffering, gifts, story, and relationships fit into the greater story of God-and how our stories can do the same. Then she also introduces Threads-a tool to help you see your own personal story and to uncover and understand the raw materials God has given you to use for his glory and purpose while on this planet.
The lessons in this study guide are engaging and interactive, offering in-depth Bible study, personal stories, and projects enabling the teaching to move off the page and into your life.
