Like Father Like Sons
$21.23WAS YOUR FATHER GENEROUS, GENTLE & GRACIOUS?
Your Heavenly Father is. The problem is that we see the Father through our earthly father. We are all given lenses at some point in our childhood, and we still wear them even as we begin to parent our own children. The lenses gray our understanding of the Father. Who is He? What does He think of me? Does He accept me? Is He proud of me? What does He want from me?
Herein lies the beauty of the gospel: In Christ, our lenses are removed so we can clearly see the Father, and, in Christ, the Father puts on lenses and sees us through His perfect Son!
This means that in the Gospel we can see what the Father is like. God the Father not only exemplifies fatherhood, but He empowers us in the Gospel to father like Him. If we can see the Father, we can image the father to our children.
So what is the Father like?
Let s remove the lenses and see.

Cut Dead But Still Alive
$25.99To cut dead means to refuse to acknowledge another with the intent to punish. Gregory Ellison says that this is the plight of African American young men. They are stigmatized with limited opportunity for education and disproportionate incarceration. At the same time, they are often resistant to help from social institutions including the church. They are mute and invisible to society but also in their inward being. Their voice and physical selves are not acknowledged, leaving them ripe for hopelessness and volatility. So if the need is so great yet the desire for help wanes, where is the remedy?
Healing can begin by reframing the problem. While to cut dead is destructive, it also refers to pruning and repotting a disfigured plant-giving it new possibilities for life. In this provocative book, Ellison shows how caregivers can sow seeds of life, nurturing the neophyte with guidance, admonition, training, and support in order to become a community of reliable others, serving as an extended family.

Hebrews : It’s Not How You Start – It’s How You Finish – A Study Guide To T
$30.95God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son . . . (Hebrews 1:1-2) “but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD . . . ” (Hebrews 10:12)
In Hebrews: It’s Not How You Start-It’s How You Finish, Dr. Kathy Stewart offers a guide to the most encouraging epistle in the New Testament. Among other things the reader will explore: Who was Melchizedek, and what is his significance to the doctrine of Hebrews? Who were the Ebionites? Could they have been the original recipients of the epistle? What is one possible interpretation of the controversial warning given in Hebrews 6:4-8? What is the significance of Jesus now sitting at the right hand of God? Perhaps most importantly-how do the doctrinal truths of the book apply to the believer’s struggles with everyday trials? It is hoped that by the conclusion of the book, the reader will not only have grown in their faith but will have a determined resolve to persevere until the end. Because Jesus Christ is better than any created being, that He now serves as our Great High Priest in heaven, and that He has offered Himself as the one final sacrifice for sin, faithful Christians can make it!

Mark’s Gospel – The 20 Most-asked Questions
Copying Masters And Handout Sheets
Christianity Explained – In ContextAdditional Info
In many countries people growing up today do not have a Sunday School understanding of the gospel, or even the basic facts about Jesus. Christianity Explained gets away from the quick one-off presentation of the gospel which has characterised much of our evangelistic efforts in the past.Based on six studies from Mark’s gospel, this ‘manual’ is a tried-and-tested tool for evangelism. It presents the challenge of Jesus in a way that is non-threatening and concentrates on the facts concerning the person and work of Christ. It begins with the assumption that the hearer knows absolutely nothing about Jesus or the Good News.
During the course, participants will be invited to discuss and question what they are hearing and, by the end of the six ‘studies’, will be challenged to repentance, belief and a trust in Jesus.
The course, initially compiled by Scripture Union in Australia, has proved especially effective in 1-to-1 work.

Jeremiah Project Part 1
$27.95Turn off all the noise, and get yourself comfortable. Jeremiah invites you in. The Jeremiah Project Part 1-The Scrapbook has the bones of a study guide but as Scripture is searched and questions are answered the study takes on the form of a novelette. The study begins with Jeremiah’s official appointment. Jeremiah will represent the Lord in a monumental court case that administers justice. This case still affects us today. The Lord had a legal and binding relationship with Israel. Their relationship is compared to marriage in this study of God’s Word. When God acquired Israel as a vessel-bride, Israel acquired God’s promises, which were outlined in a living and breathing contract. The once gracious contract which united the two parties in holy union has by legal recourse become a beast which, in study, serves to bind the pair in its merciless grip. The Jeremiah Project Part 1-The Scrapbook is a user-friendly study that you cannot afford to miss. It’s like finding a few more pieces to that big puzzle of life. Some of us have a good start at putting it all together, but the picture of life becomes a little clearer and makes more sense after spending some time with Jeremiah. You will find insightful information as he, by appointment from God, delivers wisdom, comfort, and strength that will get many through the upheaval in our world.

My Romance With God
$23.93Our relationship with God tends to be complicated because He knows us only too well while we are limited in our knowledge and to our ignorance of God. As a result, our bond with Him strains as it weaves in and out of an ambivalent and whimsical love-hate relationship.
This book is for Christians who are confused, lost and entangled in this intricate web with God. Having our faith constantly challenged, we find ourselves tired and mired in a relationship that seems to be running out of steam. The daily battles we fight to survive are more than we can handle, let alone having to deal with an unpredictable and unfathomable God.
My Romance with God chronicles an episode in my life that reveals a glimpse of God. It captures pieces of an intangible portrait that paints an enigmatic yet vibrant relationship that can prove overwhelming, and yet quenching the thirst and satisfying the hunger of our spirit. Knowing the Word is good. Understanding it is even better. But living it is best, because it is only by living the Word that one can truly believe.
I know that God spoke to me through these pages. I know that He will also speak to those who read it.
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like Eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Tall Poppy : How To Lead Without Losing Your Head
$20.99In New Zealand, they have a saying: “Keep a low profile or, like the tall poppy, stand tall and get your head cut off.” While there are risks to standing out, there are also benefits: tall poppies have the best view and are positioned to have the clearest vision of the horizon. Leadership has an up-side but also a down-side, and leaders must attend to both. Tall poppy leadership attracts attention, but it is a mixed blessing. These leaders leave their mark, shape the environment, and prepare the ground for others. Like tall poppies, they have a clear view of the lay of the land, not just for themselves but for their followers. To reap the benefits of being the first to harvest, they risk becoming easy targets for those who are jealous, petty, or have a hunger for power.
This practical book helps you weigh the costs and benefits of your leadership as you assess your own situation. It shows you how to move forward through inevitable conflict, while attending to the landmines and hazards of congregational life. After reading this book you will lead with more confidence, better able to keep the vision and avoid distraction of immediate crises.

Encouragement : The Unexpected Power Of Building Others Up
$17.99Encouragement is more than a compliment or a pat on the back. It’s a skill that can be mastered by anyone. What must we know in order to fulfill the biblical exhortation to ‘encourage one another’?
Encouragement: The Key to Caring tells you. Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as:
– developing a careful selection of encouraging words
– cultivating active listening skills
– using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings
– recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement— Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people’s defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals who practice it.

Men And Women
$14.99What does it take to get along for a lifetime? Men and women share a deadly problem that kills good relating. The problem is this: we are committed, first of all, to ourselves. Each of us, without blushing, holds fast to an overriding concern for our own well-being.

Sober Mercies : How Love Caught Up With A Christian Drunk
$28.55Where do you turn for hope when you already have the answer–but the answer isn’t working?
As a long-time Christian, Heather Kopp never expected to become an out-of-control alcoholic who kept private stashes of booze all over the place–tucked behind books in her study, zipped into a special compartment in her oversized purse, at the back of her closet stuffed inside her boots.
Even as her career and marriage teetered on the brink, Kopp couldn’t get a grip, desperately hiding the true extent of her drinking from the rest of the world–her husband included. During the day she wrote books about God and prayer and family. At night she’d locked herself in her bathroom to guzzle chardonnay.
For her, as for many Christians who struggle with addiction, overwhelming shame and confusion only made things worse. Why wasn’t her faith enough to save her? Why didn’t repentance, Bible reading and prayer work? Where was God?
Meanwhile, as she watched in horror, her grown son descended into his own nightmare of drugs and alcohol. She feared for his life, yet she couldn’t stop drinking long enough to help him–or find a way out for herself.
Until the day everything changed.
Engaging, funny and bracingly honest, Kopp shares her remarkable journey into darkness…and back to the light again. Her story reveals the unique challenges and spiritual conundrums Christians face when they become ensnared in an addiction, and the redemption that’s possible when we finally reach the end of ourselves.
If you love Jesus but shop too much, drink too much, eat too much, crush on men who aren’t your husband, or otherwise fixate on doing things you hate but can’t stop doing, SOBER MERCIES is for you.

For This Reason Gods Word And Your Marriage
$16.18Jesus tells us that a holy love is sacrificial, forgiving, and unconditional. He knew that loving like this would not be easy, but he did promise us that if we pursued his love, our hearts, our minds, and our spirits would be transformed. This is the essence of relationship: a love that changes everything.
It should come as no surprise, then, that when we enter into a marriage covenant, our greatest commandment is to love one another. But how do we put that love into action when life gets tough? How do we remember to sacrifice for one another when the outside world demands everything we’ve got? According to Gary Fehring, it always comes down to Jesus.
In just nine short devotionals, For This Reason challenges new and experienced marriages with holy scripture, reminding couples that a marriage centered on godly principles always strives for contentment, surrender, sacrifice, forgiveness, and humility. Author Gary Fehring’s poignant questions at the end of each devotional have been carefully crafted to expose the fears and dreams of each reader, and he always points back to prayer as a way to navigate our way through the paths of life. For This Reason is a Jesus-centered devotional with a timeless simplicity and relevance that will consistently encourage and challenge couples throughout any phase in their marriages.

Sweet Mercy
$17.64When Eve Marryat’s father is laid off from the Ford Motor Company in 1931, he is forced to support his family by leaving St. Paul, Minnesota, and moving back to his Ohio roots. Eve’s uncle Cyrus has invited the family to live and work at his Marryat Island Ballroom and Lodge.
St. Paul seemed like a haven for gangsters, and Eve had grown fearful of living there. At seventeen, she considers her family to be “good people.” They aren’t lawbreakers and criminals like so many people in her old neighborhood. Thrilled to be moving to a “safe haven,” Eve is blissfully unaware that her uncle’s lodge is a transfer station for illegal liquor smuggled from Canada.
Eve settles in to work and makes new friends, including an enigmatic but affecting young man. But when the reality of her situation finally becomes clear, Eve is faced with a dilemma. How can she ignore what is happening right under their very noses? Yet can she risk everything by condemning the man whose love and generosity is keeping her and her family from ruin?

What is the right way to worship? Right worship does not require a return to the identical forms found in the early church or later in Rome or after that in Westminster. What it calls for is a faithful response today to the God of our salvation in light of those biblically ordered and historically informed patterns. In this study Robbie Castleman uncovers the fundamental shape of worship. What she unearths is a shape that is outlined in Scripture, enacted in Israel, refocused in the New Testament community, regulated and guarded by the Apostolic fathers, and recovered in the Reformation. It is a worship that can and does still shape the liturgy of many congregations today.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Divine Commodity : Discovering A Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity
$22.99The challenge facing Christianity today is not a lack of motivation or resources, but a failure of imagination. A growing number of people are disturbed by the values exhibited by the contemporary church. Worship has become entertainment, the church has become a shopping mall, and God has become a consumable product. Many sense that something is wrong, but they cannot imagine an alternative way. The Divine Commodity finally articulates what so many have been feeling and offers hope for the future of a post-consumer Christianity. Through Scripture, history, engaging narrative, and the inspiring art of Vincent van Gogh, The Divine Commodity explores spiritual practices that liberate our imaginations to live as Christ’s people in a consumer culture opposed to the values of his kingdom. Each chapter shows how our formation as consumers has distorted an element of our faith. For example, the way churches have become corporations and how branding makes us more focused on image than reality. It then energizes an alternative vision for those seeking a more meaningful faith. Before we can hope to live differently, we must have our minds released from consumerism’s grip and captivated once again by Christ.

Radical Forgiveness : Gods Call To Unconditional Love
$16.99Are you really sure you understand God’s viewpoint about forgiveness and mercy?
If Christianity is to be a compelling and relevant voice in the twenty-first century, it needs a fresh message-not a new innovation or novel interpretation, but a return to our roots. If Christianity is not about forgiveness, it’s about nothing at all.
In this book readers will be confronted with the stark reality of how deeply we need to reach within to really show Christlike forgiveness and mercy to those to whom we may feel least inclined to offer forgiveness or mercy. The author’s primary motive in writing this book is to help recover the true beauty of Christianity as found in forgiveness.
This book begins with the Holocaust as it explores what forgiveness means-and how far it should go-in the real world of murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, and other atrocities. It pushes the reader beyond the usual biblical exposition of the topic of forgiveness and challenges their thinking by juxtaposing absolutely bottom-line kinds of examples with the simple question: What would you do?

During his twenty-four years at Abilene Christian University, Siburt oversaw some fifty DMin theses- a capstone experience designed to recount best practices in congregational life.
Rooted in Dr. Siburt’s conviction that good theology makes a difference in the lives of people, The Effective Practice of Ministry is a collection of thirteen of those research projects, covering the most critical topics facing churches today: spiritual formation, leadership development, catechesis, preaching, and missional initiatives in the larger community.
In honor of Dr. Siburt, this anthology is meant to inspire and encourage effective, embodied praxis in the ministry of the church.

New Wedding Service For You (Revised)
$16.18Every wedding should be sacred and unique. Written with that in mind, A New Wedding Service for You is a distinctive collection of nineteen wedding services that have been designed with fresh perspective and modern language.

From Creation To The Cross
$29.99Most Christians don’t quite know what to do with the first half of the Bible. Some are fascinated by the historical sweep of the Old Testament. Others are blessed by its poetry. Still others focus on its prophecies. But what are the heart and soul of the Old Testament? In From Creation to the Cross, Al Baylis is a guide who shares with us his love for, and profound understanding of, the Old Testament. He walks us through the Old Testament, pointing out along the way perspectives and insights that leave us with a new, personal understanding of these thirty-nine books — and more importantly, of the God of the Old Testament, who lovingly prepared the way before sending his Son. As Bruce Wilkinson puts it in the Foreword, ‘I could almost picture (Baylis) as a seasoned rabbi surrounded by a huddle of eager listeners. He doesn’t simply teach the Old Testament; it’s as if he personally reminisces through it.’ From Creation to the Cross is one of those rare books that speaks to a wide range of readers, from high school students to homemakers to college professors. This revised and expanded edition of On the Way to Jesus makes this unique and highly readable approach to the first half of the Bible available once again. It is ideally suited for use in Bible study groups.

He Prayed : The Power Of Prayer In Making Life Choices
$12.98Laurus Books
William Ray Houston was twenty-six years old when he knelt by the side of his bed and prayed aloud. He addressed his prayer to the Holy Spirit, firmly believing that Jesus Christ had ascended to the right hand of the Father and that He had sent a Comforter to be within those who had accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. Having been born again at a young age, William learned that including God in his decisions and allowing the Holy Spirit to direct his path often opened doors that he could not have known about. From where he lived and worked to choosing the right wife, William always called on the Lord and was often led in simple, but sometimes almost miraculous, ways. Part Two of He Prayed is a deliberately simple explanation of how he did it and how you can, too!Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Saved But Not A Christian
$18.11If you picked this book cover to read, then you are one step closer to one of the best guides for Christian maturity ever published. Inside are the answers to why Christianity gets a “bad rep” in today’s world. New believers need mentoring and mentors need to understand their role. The steps to mentoring in the ‘faith’ are outlined in an easy conversational style. You will pick up this book again and again and share over and over. Included is a revised study guide, perfect for “Sunday school” and group discussions. Saved but not a Christian was written with not just new converts in mind, but seasoned believers as well. I’m sure most of you can relate to feeling some frustration during your journey when you missed the mark, and hearing those words, “I thought you were a Christian.” The weight of succumbing to what the church believes a Christian should be. And it doesn’t stop there it continues in our work place, to those who know us as well as our family. I’m sure if we are honest with ourselves, we have been in that group; that made the passing remarks or comments. I assure you most of the time those cutting remarks find their way to the individual that was the topic of conversation. Let’s us start afresh, with a new insight, a revelation if you will. That we will be swift to hear, slow to speak and even slower to judge. Knowing that the Father of Light does the same for us.

Sleeping In Eden
$22.99She knew what he wrote . . .
One little word that made her feel both cheated and beloved.
One word that changed everything.
MINE.
On a chilly morning in the Northwest Iowa town of Blackhawk, Dr. Lucas Hudson is filling in for the vacationing coroner on a seemingly open-and-shut suicide case. His own life is crumbling around him, but when he unearths the body of a woman buried in the barn floor beneath the hanging corpse, he realizes this terrible discovery could change everything. . . .
Years before Lucas ever set foot in Blackhawk, Meg Painter met Dylan Reid. It was the summer before high school and the two quickly became inseparable. Although Meg’s older neighbor, Jess, was the safe choice, she couldn’t let go of Dylan no matter how hard she tried.
Caught in a web of jealousy and deceit that spiraled out of control, Meg’s choices in the past ultimately collide with Lucas’s discovery in the present, weaving together a taut story of unspoken secrets and the raw, complex passions of innocence lost.
