Fire Dancer
$17.99Dry needles had been piled up, and a match lay in the middle. Her boots smothered the flames. The match told her the fire had been deliberately set. But why? A flutter of white caught her attention. The wind whipped a paper nailed to the tree. She unfolded it and stared at the writing: Let the dance begin.
A decade ago, Tess Masterson’s parents died in a terrible barn fire. Now she’s become one of the best smoke jumpers in the business. Though she makes a living jumping out of planes into roaring wildfires, she’s never found the courage to face the wounds of her past–or to deal with the anger that flares whenever she encounters Chase Huston.
When a serial arsonist known as The Fire Dancer strikes near her old homeplace in Arizona, Tess is forced to examine the past as it relates to the present. How will she confront her own demons while at the same time putting a stop to the terror that has the area in flames?

Won By Love
$16.98In Roe v. Wade, perhaps the most controversial United States Supreme Court decision, Norma McCorvey fought for and won the right to secure an abortion. Though she never had an abortion, under the pseudonym “Jane Roe,” Norma reluctantly became the poster child for the pro-choice movement.
Over the next two decades, Norma experienced the grief and despair of millions of women who chose to abort their babies; she witnessed the destruction of thousands of human lives in abortion clinics where she worked; and the “champion” of the pro-choice movement was soon being crushed by the weight of so much pain, so much death, and so many ill-considered “choices.”
Finally, she began to break. She found out that the real choice she had been burdened with was not about abortion but about eternal life. It was a choice that would shock the world and change Norma’s life forever.

Jesus Blood And Righteousness
$14.99The question of whether Paul teaches that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to the believer has been debated for roughly four hundred years. Some of the questions that arise are: What is the connection between Adam and the rest of the human race? How did Christ fulfill the role of the second or new Adam? How can the “ungodly” stand before a righteous God?
In Jesus’ Blood and Righteousness, Brian Vickers investigates the key Pauline texts linked historically to the topic of imputation. Though Vickers spends a good deal of time on the particulars of each text, he keeps one eye on the broader biblical horizon; like any doctrine, imputation must be investigated exegetically and synthetically. This book, and its conclusion that the imputation of Christ’s righteousness is a legitimate and necessary synthesis of Paul’s teaching, is a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on imputation

Creation And Chaos In The Primeval Era And The Eschaton
$63.99Foreword by Peter Machinist
Hermann Gunkel’s groundbreaking Schopfung und Chaos, originally published in German in 1895, is here translated in its entirety into English for the first time. Even though available only in German, this work by Gunkel has had a profound influence on modern biblical scholarship.
Discovering a number of parallels between the biblical creation accounts and a Babylonian creation account, the Enuma Elish, Gunkel argues that ancient Babylonian traditions shaped the Hebrew people’s perceptions both of God’s creative activity at the beginning of time and of God’s re-creative activity at the end of time.
Including illuminating introductory pieces by eminent scholar Peter Machinist and by translator K. William Whitney, Gunkel’s Creation and Chaos will appeal to serious students and scholars in the area of biblical studies.

Meeting Jesus : Women Of Faith From The New Testament (Student/Study Guide)
$9.99The Gospel records are extraordinary for their accounts of the encounters and conversations Jesus had with women of all kinds. But this wasn’t sexual attraction – these women grew to love Him because He treated them with dignity and compassion. In an age where women were considered second-class citizens, Jesus devoted time and care to them all – the godly, the grieving, the sick, the stressed, the sinful outcasts and even the foreign ‘dogs’.
But in all his dealings with women, Jesus wanted to give them the opportunity to hear and receive His good news – that however we live, we all need God’s forgiveness; that whatever we have done, we can be forgiven by God, through Jesus. Women didn’t only experience a welcome from Jesus; they received a brand new life of hope, joy and peace, as forgiven children of God.
Worldwide the good news of Jesus still transforms the lives of countless women today. By using this Good Book Guide to examine the encounters of these eight women who met Jesus, you too can learn about His liberating good news, discover what it means to have true faith, and experience His transforming power in your life.

Is Financial Prosperity For Us Today Or The 1000 Year Reign Of Jesus Christ
$29.98The Holy Spirit has given us an abundance of scriptures concerning true prosperity, this book consists of twelve Bible truths. We have many Bible verses which tells us of God’s perfect will and plan about true prosperity. God says we have a better covenant (New Testament), which was established upon better promises than what Israel had (Old Testament), Hebrews 8:6. This covenant is established on the blood of Jesus and not on the blood of animals. God’s promise to Abraham for the church (Acts 2:1- Revelation 3:22) is spiritual with the promise of His Spirit to live in us. Israel’s promise had an abundance of material and financial wealth (Genesis 1:1- Acts1:1-26) because that is all they could receive before Jesus came. No one had the Holy Spirit living in them at that time. However, many already had an abundance of material and financial things so this is not why Jesus came. Today we are missing God’s timing concerning financial prosperity which will begin in the 1000 Year Reign of Jesus Christ. Don’t believe that we cannot miss God; Israel did concerning Jesus. The proof and the degree of the Holy Spirit speaking to and through us is the accuracy of our writings according to the scriptures. We are to judge everything according to the Bible. Please read and study these twelve truths with serious prayer to see what God is saying to us today about true prosperity. We are not to interpret scriptures by what we personally believe or think. 1st Corinthians 2:13 says “…the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. God’s word is spiritual. We should continually search for the truth by going from scripture to scripture so that we can truly understand what God is saying.

Reclaiming The Sky
$18.95When asked about the death toll from the September 11th attacks, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani stated simply and eloquently that the number would likely be “more than any of us can bear.” He was right, of course. Yet often obscured in that inconceivable number is the fact that among those who died, as well as those who lived and continue to live, were many thousands of aviation professionals with names, families, lives, and individual experiences that are an important part of the 9/11 story. Some five years later, these stories are being told for the first time in Reclaiming the Sky. In the pages of this book, you will meet some of the people whose hard work propels a critical social and economic force — the aviation industry — and who on the morning of September 11th, were suddenly thrust into front-line positions in the battle to put our nation back on its feet. For many of these men and women and their families, the pain and after-effects of 9/11 are exceptionally acute, but their stories will serve as touchpoints for the thousands of people whose journey to closure is still ongoing. This powerful and ultimately uplifting book not only honors the heroes of September 11th, it also offers common ground to those in search of meaning and purpose in a changed world — both in and outside of the air travel industry — and gives Americans in all walks of life something they still seek five years after 9/11: the courage and strength to move forward.

Death And Memory In Early Medieval Britain
$174.66How were the dead remembered in early medieval Britain? Originally published in 2006, this innovative study demonstrates how perceptions of the past and the dead, and hence social identities, were constructed through mortuary practices and commemoration between c. 400 1100 AD. Drawing on archaeological evidence from across Britain, including archaeological discoveries, Howard Williams presents a fresh interpretation of the significance of portable artefacts, the body, structures, monuments and landscapes in early medieval mortuary practices. He argues that materials and spaces were used in ritual performances that served as ‘technologies of remembrance’, practices that created shared ‘social’ memories intended to link past, present and future. Through the deployment of material culture, early medieval societies were therefore selectively remembering and forgetting their ancestors and their history. Throwing light on an important aspect of medieval society, this book is essential reading for archaeologists and historians with an interest in the early medieval period.”

Additional Info
In Between Philosophy and Religion Volumes I and II, Brayton Polka examines Spinoza’s three major works-on religion, politics, and ethics-in order to show that his thought is at once biblical and modern. Indeed, Polka argues that Spinoza is biblical only insofar as he is understood to be one of the great philosophers of modernity and that he is modern only when it is understood that he is unique in making the interpretation of the Bible central to philosophy and philosophy central to the interpretation of the Bible. This book and its companion volume are essential reading for any scholar of Spinoza.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

John Diodatis Doctrine Of Holy Scripture
$16.00Print on demand
This study begins with a discussion of the state of research on Diodati. This is followed by a survey of Diodati’s life and work, focusing on his role within contemporary Protestantism. The history of the doctrine of Scripture is then considered in order to provide the relevant background to Diodati’s beliefs and to the significance of Scripture in the disputes that were part and parcel of the Reformation. The central element of the dissertation consists of a translation from Latin into English of the twenty-five theses concerning the doctrine of Scripture that he presented in 1596, when he graduated from the Academy at Geneva. There follows a detailed analysis of these theses in the light of the Protestant view of Scripture and the controversy with the teaching of the Church of Rome, especially as set out in the formulations of the Council of Trent. This analysis also draws on a work for which Diodati was well known to the English public, namely his Pious Annotations upon the Holy Bible, his greatest legacy after his translation of the Italian Bible. The study concludes with a brief evaluation of the significance of the continuity of the doctrine of Scripture in the history of the church, of the debate over the issue of authority between the Reformers and Rome, and of the way in which Diodati’s attitude to the translation of Scripture was governed by both the need for clarity and the theology of the Bible itself. – AUTHOR’S PREFACEAdd to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
