Wanting To Be Her
$19.99How do you feel when you look at a magazine cover?
Do you ever look at the models and wish you looked like them?
Most women have had that experience. When you go to the health club, you notice how buff the woman to the left is and how skinny the woman to the right is. And when you go out, you see the guys flocking to talk with certain women and wonder if your looks stack up to theirs.
When you get dressed in the morning, do you worry about whether your jeans are flattering? Do you think about who you are going to see when you decide how to do your hair? When you eat a meal, do you think about those magazine models again?
Most women do. And they are buying into a lie.
In this book Michelle Graham reveals how easy it is to fall into the trap of viewing your body through the lens of culture rather than through the eyes of God. She helps you understand that these are not the things that God wants you to dwell on. And these are not the true qualities of beauty.
As you read this book you will discover that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, and it cannot be airbrushed or faked. In these pages you will discover the true secrets of a positive body image.

Companions Of Christ
$35.99Are you bogged down in your spiritual journey? Does church seem to hinder more than it helps? Here is a welcoming and realistic guide for all who may be feeling spiritually jaded. Whatever your circumstances, Companions of Christ will show you how to embark on a journey of the heart, starting wherever you happen to be and no matter how unfit for the journey you may feel.
In Companions of Christ popular British writer Margaret Silf unearths the gold mine of spiritual wisdom to be found in the legacy of Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. Ignatian spirituality sets out an engagingly down-to-earth vision of connecting with God in everyday life. Neither a recipe for a privatized spiritual life nor an agenda imposed by someone else, the Ignatian vision is centered on companionship, which means literally to “share bread” with another. It latches onto God’s presence in stories, in other people, in the created universe, and even in God’s apparent absence.
Perfect for those whose faith in God or patience with the church is flagging, Companions of Christ contains very practical teaching on great Ignatian themes – imaginative scriptural meditation, spiritual discernment, and honest prayer. Incorporating helpful spiritual exercises throughout, Silf shows both tentative and seasoned believers how to keep faith despite the odds.

Sermons On The First Readings Series 2 Cycle B
$46.18The Old Testament details the epic faith story of ancient people who, just like us today, seek God’s answers to complex problems. Yet because pastors sometimes overlook this rich source of preaching texts, many people in the pews are not as knowledgeable as they could be of the Hebrew scriptures and their profound lessons for modern living. In this inspiring collection of spiritually enlightening messages based on the First Readings from Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary, four master preachers demonstrate the continuing relevance of passages from the Old Testament and the Book of Acts. Building on stories in which God moves ordinary people to extraordinary heights, these sermons for each Sunday and major celebration throughout the entire church year powerfully proclaim timeless themes of justice and righteousness while reminding us that God’s grace is the model for the Christian community’s core values of self-giving love and forgiveness. Each thought-provoking message is filled with compelling stories and illustrations from everyday life, and challenges readers to love and serve the Lord, trusting in divine providence even in the midst of a world that sometimes seems cruel and senseless.

Century Of Holiness Theology
$29.99After a century of study and debate, the doctrine of sanctification, formulated by John Wesley in the 18th century, has resulted in two contemporaneous and competing definitions of entire sanctification in the Nazarene denomination. Mark Quanstom examines the gradual change in understanding this doctrine by focusing on its history and development in a balanced and well-researched perspective.
“Quanstrom effectively follows the various understandings of holiness that have shaped and been shaped by the Church of the Nazarene. His engaging style and clear writing makes this work valuable to laymen, ministers, students, and scholars.”
-Dr. John C. Bowling
President, Olivet Nazarene University“This work is a welcome contribution to the contemporary conversation about Holiness theology. Quanstrom’s thoughtful and careful scholarship produces a balanced study of the historical development of the understanding of holiness. . . It calls us to an awareness of the dynamic character of this tradition and to an active engagement with the doctrine of Christian perfection that remains at the heart of who we are.”

Prayer : The Cry For The Kingdom (Revised)
$19.99Bringing our needs and desires to God has always stood at the heart of Christian prayer. But why is petitioning God so important? In Prayer: The Cry for the Kingdom noted theologian Stanley Grenz points to petitionary prayer as a crucial way for us to be involved with God’s work in history. At the center of such prayer, Grenz argues, is the cry to God that his kingdom might come into the world.
Grenz explores key questions that many Christians ask: What does it mean to pray “according to God’s will”? Should we persist in petitioning God for our needs? Does prayer really influence God? In the process of addressing these questions, Grenz offers practical guidance on praying effectively and challenges the contemporary church to recapture what it means to be a church that prays.
Revised and completely rewritten, with the inclusion of additional material, and now featuring an insightful foreword by Eugene Peterson, Grenz’s Prayer: The Cry for the Kingdom will help readers from every Christian tradition to foster a richer personal and communal life of prayer.

Dead Sea Scrolls And The New Testament
$48.33Brooke illuminates the first-century world shared by the Qumran community and the writers of the New Testament.
The Dead Sea Scrolls have provided Old Testament scholars with an enormous wealth of data for textual criticism as well as theology. But, as Brooke skillfully demonstrates, New Testament scholars can use the Scrolls to learn more about the linguistic, historical, religious, and social contexts of Palestine in the first century.
A wide range of topics and themes is discussed, including Matthew’s Beatitudes, the lost song of Miriam, Levi and the Levites, women’s authority, and the use of scripture in the parable of the vineyard.

Your Faith Has Made You Well Cycle B
$19.93This is an admirable example of pastoral theology at its best. Aaron’s discussions of the historical background and theological significance of each text are thoroughly informed and articulate. Equally helpful are the insights he brings to the understanding of the pastoral implications of each text and the strategies appropriate to preaching the text. This book proves that some of the best biblical theology for pastors can be written by a pastor.
David Bartlett
Lantz Professor of Preaching
Yale University Divinity School
The moving accounts of Jesus’ astonishing power to cast out demons and heal physical ailments are singularly compelling preaching texts with rich possibilities for proclamation — they have much to teach us about God’s grace and the ministry of the church, as well as the spiritual dimension of evil. But these passages are also fraught with homiletic peril, presenting preachers with a tangle of problems and conflicting beliefs. In light of modern scientific knowledge and technological sophistication, some Christians question if these miracles really occurred. Others wonder why only some people experience such healings, and there is a temptation to simplistically equate lack of healing with lack of faith. Should we expect similar miracles today? What is the link between faith and wellness? And most important of all, what do these strange yet fascinating stories mean for us today?
Your Faith Has Made You Well helps preachers negotiate this minefield with a detailed exploration of eleven miracle narratives appearing in Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary. It’s packed with stimulating ideas and illustrations for developing dynamic sermons, including a supplemental chapter with numerous examples of contemporary miracles and healings. Each miracle is examined from several perspectives to produce a holistic understanding:
? historical background — What Old Testament narratives or ideas are reflected in the story? What do we know about the understanding of medicine and health in Jesus’ time?
? literary analysis — How does the plot unfold? How are the characters developed? What literary devices are employed?
? theological reflection — What does the text affirm or imply about God, creation, the ministry of Christ, salvation, and the meaning of evil? What does it teach us about faith, the Christian life, and the mission of the church?
? pastoral reading — What insight does the text give us about the human condition

Father To The Fatherless
$18.95Six year-old Charles Mulli wakes up in his Kenyan hut to discover his parents have abandoned him. Forced to beg from hut to hut in search of food, Charles scrapes out a meagre existence while trying to come to terms with his abusive past. Then, in a dramatic turn of events, Charles experiences unprecedented success. He finds a wonderful wife, raises a family, excels in business to such a degree that he creates an empire that is noticed by the President of Kenya, and he becomes a pinnacle in the church movement. Charles is on top of the world. And then his world changes. In spite of his tremendous achievements, the plight of the growing street children problem in his country remains strong in Charles’ heart. He is unable to shut out their cries, the cries he understands so well, and he realizes he must respond. Father to the Fatherless tells the true story of a man who makes a decision to sell everything he has to help the poor. It’s a decision that goes so counter-intuitive to those around him that he is soon completely ostracized, forcing him to carry out what seems like an impossible and unexplainable mission. Now, armed only with his relationship with God, Charles and his family struggle on physical, financial and spiritual fronts to rescue street children from the slums of Kenya and provide them with the hope of new life.

Zechariah : Gods Big Plan For Struggling Christians (Student/Study Guide)
$9.99Christians struggle. We struggle with ridicule and being ignored in a day of small things; with opposition to the message that Jesus is the only way to God; with our own failures and the devils accusations that make us question whether God accepts us. False teachers, false religion, and false priorities plague and distract us.
In Zechariahs day, Israel had returned from exile, but home was certainly not all they had hoped for. Zechariahs task was to bring comforting words to the struggling people of God.
These six Bible-studies open up Zechariahs reassuring and revitaliszing message for Gods discouraged people, including Gods great international building project; His solution to sin; His promised Shepherd-King; His great Day of judgement and salvation. Constantly focusing on what these things mean practically for Christians today, this course aims to help Christians live a life shaped, not by these days, but by that day when Gods big plan comes to glorious fruition.

Salvation Of Angels
$19.36The Salvation of Angels is a book about the mysteries of God. The universe is so immense that it is incomprehensible. It is mindnumbingly vast. Can a God big enough to have created the universe really be concerned about what is happening on this minor planet? Some skeptics see the immensity of the universe as a challenge to the earth-centric focus of Christianity. The reality is that the impact of the work of Jesus Christ – His incarnation, His earthly ministry, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection – extends far beyond the earthly sphere. When understood in its fullness, what Christ has accomplished is great enough, immense enough, and magnificent enough to correspond to the vast universe of God’s creation. This is what we can see if we have eyes to see it. “Those who are awed by the vastness of the universe should be equally awed by the vastness of the plan of God in Jesus Christ.” – From the Introduction

I believe that it is my responsibility to share this poetry. My prayer is that this book glorifies the Lord.

Mystery Of Old Testament Chronology Revealed
$16.86The Mystery of Old Testament Chronology Revealed is the documentation of a scriptural study, working backward from the captivity of Judah in 587 bc. This date is the only reliable reference that is considered by scholars to be accurate, both historically and scripturally. The analysis was performed and documented working backward from the captivity of Judah using only the scriptural record. No astronomical signs, Assyrian or Egyptian dating, or other historical evidence was used for this analysis. It is believed that this study has produced an extremely accurate chronology for the era of the Divided Kingdom and a reasonably accurate chronology for the entire Old Testament. It includes dates and scriptural references for the Divided Kingdom, the United Kingdom, the Era of Judges, Exodus to Judges, and the Creation to Exodus. It should be of interest to any serious Bible student.

Code Red : Wars Of The Heart
$19.98Codes are a part of our everyday lives. Medical, health, and emergency services use codes to identify the condition of a patient or situation. For example, Code Red indicates a fire, while Code Blue signifies cardiac or respiratory arrest. While Code Red indicates immediate danger, Code Blue indicates imminent death, both naturally and spiritually. Codes rule the world; namely geneticmorris- bar-government-moral-war and the codes of laws. Code Red applies to situations that are dangerous to one’s spiritual health and welfare. It is a warning to be alert and to take immediate action. Left unresolved, a spiritual Code Red situation can quickly become Code Blue. Both evil codes work to lead every soul unto the most deadly code of all called 666. If the church is to fulfill God’s purpose and win the lost, it must be victorious over Code Red and cleanse itself of all unrighteousness. Hosea 4:6 says that “God’s people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.” A new heart is our best defense and only Jesus Christ can give it to us. Jesus Christ, our “heart specialist,” walked upon this earth healing all Code Red sickness and disease. He died in Code Blue but rose from the dead victoriously on the third day. His victory is our victory! We can now boldly declare war on Code Red even as it has declared war on our hearts. Let the battle begin!

What If America Were A Christian Nation Again

Dead Of Night
$17.99All words fell away. I pushed myself off the path, noticing for the first time the signs of earlier passage-the matted earth, broken twigs. And I knew. My mouth turned cottony. I licked my lips, took three halting steps. My maddening, visual brain churned out pictures of colorless faces on a cold slab-Debbie Lille, victim number one; Wanda Deminger, number three . . . He’d been here. Dragged this one right where I now stumbled. I’d entered a crime scene, and I could not bear to see what lay at the end. . . .This is a story about evil.This is a story about God’s power. A string of murders terrorizes citizens in the Redding, California, area. The serial killer is cunning, stealthy. Masked by day, unmasked by night. Forensic artist Annie Kingston discovers the sixth body practically in her own back yard. Is the location a taunt aimed at her?One by one, Annie must draw the unknown victims for identification. Dread mounts. Who will be taken next? Under a crushing oppression, Annie and other Christians are driven to pray for God’s intervention as they’ve never prayed before.With page-turning intensity, Dead of Night dares to pry open the mind of evil. Twisted actions can wreak havoc on earth, but the source of wickedness lies beyond this world. Annie learns where the real battle takes place-and that a Christian’s authority through prayer is the ultimate, unyielding weapon

Teaching The Mystery Of God To Children
$14.93This is a book of clues… clues to the awe and immensity of God that will lead children to think about, rather than “learn” about, God. Instead of teaching in the traditional sense, it provides “clues” for a shared journey toward discovering the Divine Mystery at the core of the universe.
The recent trend in Christian education has been to emphasize knowledge, and to make church school more fun and entertaining. But in our zeal to pass on the basics of the faith, we have often neglected to guide children into truly experiencing the full wonder of the almighty. We have taught them about religion, but we have not always helped them to establish a deep and meaningful relationship with God.
This book approaches the mission from a different perspective – one that identifies and reaffirms the spiritual experiences young people are already having. Each chapter suggest numerous ideas for use in classes, as well as a “Time to Reflect” section for adults to recall and meditate on their own spiritual life as children.
Teaching The Mystery Of God To Children is an essential resource for any parent or church school teacher who is interested in the spiritual development of their children.

Capturing the attention of media-jaded children – and adults – is much easier when the message of our faith is displayed in eye-catching splashes of color and design, rather than in faded construction paper or dry “memos.”
Packed with unique design ideas that will spark your creativity, Creative Church Bulletin Boards offers plenty of specific advice on shopping for supplies and keeping expenses within a limited budget, as well as detailed directions for using a wide variety of non-conventional tools to mount interesting items. You’ll learn how to put together attractive displays that reinforce Christian teachings on subjects such as trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, and caring. Material appropriate for both general use and specific seasons throughout the year is provided, with plenty of possible slogans or phrases for you to choose from. And to help get you started, each grouping includes a thorough discussion of one example along with a color picture and explicit step-by-step instructions for assembling the board. Creative Church Bulletin Boards gives you everything you need to put a powerful but often overlooked evangelism tool to work in your church!
