This divinely inspired book is the product of the leading of the Most Holy Spirit beautifully collaborating with my now regenerated spirit.

Dear God Why Am I So Tired
$19.36Dear God, Why Am I So Tired? is a prayer that most Christians are familiar with. In fact, fatigue is the number one reported reason for visiting the doctor’s office. Despite spending more money each year on the latest fad diets and medicine, the obesity and disease rates continue to climb. Many people are overweight, tired, and sick. Most diets fail because they do not address the underlying cause of weight gain. Dr. Jeffrey Blair’s groundbreaking research led to the discovery that most fatigue, weight gain, and stress-related diseases can be traced to over-stressed adrenal glands. Hypoadrenia is the most under-diagnosed yet prevalent disease of our time. Dr. Blair has spent nearly fifteen years researching the cause of fatigue, weight gain, and disease. He was one of the first physicians to report that improving adrenal gland function will lead to youthful energy and permanent weight loss. Dr. Blair’s research also showed that improved adrenal function can reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Dear God, Why Am I So Tired? is a practical guide to unlimited energy, weight loss, and disease prevention by overcoming adrenal exhaustion. Dr. Blair discusses his own battle with severe fatigue, obesity, and disease. He lost over forty pounds and has more energy than ever. Dr. Blair lays out a clear plan to regain and maintain optimum health.

Interesting History Of Income Tax
$19.99“The only things certain are death and taxes” – Benjamin Franklin. Yet few know America’s interesting history of Income Tax, such as: *1787-U.S. Constitution prohibited a “direct” Federal tax *1862-“Revenue Tax” on incomes went into effect to finance the Union during the Civil War *1895-Supreme Court made Income Tax unconstitutional *Woodrow Wilson thought tariffs on imports caused wars, so he worked to replace them with an Income Tax. *1913-Income Tax was only a 1% tax on the top 1% richest people in America. *1943-Paycheck Withholding began as an emergency effort to get funds to finance WWII. John F. Kennedy-“Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased flow of revenues to the Federal Government.” (Annual Budget Message, January 17, 1963) Thomas Jefferson-“It is an encouragement to proceed as we have begun in substituting economy for taxation” (2nd Annual Message, 1802)

Behold The Man
$17.99The truthful Man . . . falsely accused. The innocent Man . . . illegally tried and wrongly convicted. The gentle Man . . . who suffered punishment few could imagine, much less endure. The murdered Man . . . who forgave His own merciless killers. The divine Man . . . who died as a common criminal. The willing Man . . . who gave His life for others. The ordinary Man . . . who was, in fact, the extraordinary Son of God.
Behold . . . the Man. And ask yourself the only question that really matters: Why? Why would this innocent Man walk willingly and with unwavering determination toward such a grisly end? Why would He ever accept such undeserved mistreatment?
In this incredible, historically accurate account, you will come face to face with Jesus-the Man of Sorrows. If you’re honest, you’ll find the amazing answer to why . . . and you’ll change. When you stop long enough to look, to think, to imagine, and to truly Behold the Man, you’ll never be the same again.
Chuck Swindoll leads us through a detailed examination of the events surrounding Jesus as he follows the winding pathway of his passion to the cross. This story-based investigation of the last week of Jesus’s life-from the Last Supper to his death-focuses on “Why?” And in his Epilogue to this powerful, insightful book, Swindoll clearly explains to the unchurched and non-Christian reader why Jesus was willing to walk this sacrificial path to die-he did it for them.
Releasing simultaneously with Mel Gibson’s stirring movie The Passion of The Christ, Swindoll’s book provides Christians an excellent evangelistic follow-up tool to give to their unchurched or non-Christian friends and families who see the film. As Chuck said after a private viewing of the movie, “You’ll never be the same again.” And Behold . . . the Man will help ensure that fact.

Justification : Whats At Stake In The Current Debates
$36.99IVP Print On Demand Title
It is not just one word among many, but it is a central reality for which Christians are thankful to God. Consequently, a faithful understanding of justification is not merely a concern of academic theologians but of all Christians. Discussion of this crucial matter reached a watershed during the Reformation, but concerns raised since then have not all been resolved throughout the church. In fact, current debates, even controversy, about justification among Protestants and between Protestants and Roman Catholics have been chronicled for general readers in periodicals such as Christianity Today and Books and Culture. In Justification Mark Husbands and Daniel J. Treier bring together notable evangelical scholars and teachers to address from biblical, historical, theological and ecumenical perspectives key questions that prevent complete unity between Roman Catholic and Protestant branches of the church and raise tensions even among Protestant denominations. Witnessing to certain signs of hope, these essays also acknowledge points of caution. But for every reader who is looking for guidance and orientation to this doctrine and current discussion, this book provides a wealth of charitable yet incisive insight. Key questions addressed in the volume include:
*Does the doctrine of imputation of Christ’s righteousness need to be rethought, or does it faithfully reflect biblical teaching?
*How should the faith and transformation of the believer be understood in connection with our justification?
*What is the connection between our union with Christ and justification?
*What can we learn from Lutheran, Wesleyan and Anglican perspectives on justification?
*What does the Lutheran-Catholic Joint Declaration of 1999 contribute to current ecumenical discussions, and what prospects are there for real theological and ecclesiological reconciliation?These and other questions about the vital fact of justification for Christian salvation remain of central importance for the preaching, teaching, believing and unity of the church.

Packer, Kevin Vanhoozer, and Bruce Waltke, all of whom, examine the atonement from their respective fields of expertise.

Raising The Bar
$20.99Two-thirds of today’s teens are interested in having a meaningful relationship with God, yet less than one-third of them are active in a local church. Alvin Reid – an experienced pastor and youth ministry speaker – suggests that these statistics indicate that it is time to change how the church does youth ministry.
Today’s generation of teens is marked by teamwork, authenticity, and a “can – do” attitude. They have incredible potential and a desire to be taught how to be Christian adults. This compelling book provides an impassioned plea for the church to set their standards higher, to reinvent the fundamental ways we minister to teens and their families.

Into The Unknown
$22.99If life is an adventure, no one will ever live it more fully than Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the rumored Northwest Passage, Lewis and Clark instead discovered a seemingly endless land whose very existence foretold a future America infinitely different from what had been imagined. May 2004 marks the beginning of a two-and-a-half year bicentennial celebration of their incredible journey and its significance to the history of America. Against staggering odds, these unique men inspired such absolute loyalty in each other and in their group that they are still widely regarded as the most successful leadership team in American history. Today’s leadership adventures unfold in the rugged terrain of business, and who better than Lewis and Clark to lead us through its toughest challenges? Their story resonates with business leaders of our time because they had to: * Think strategically * Make tough and timely decisions * Surround themselves with good people * Manage resources * Motivate the team * Deal with different cultures * Assimilate information from many sources * Balance long-term goals against short-term realities * Learn from their mistakes * Try new approaches. Most importantly, they had to persevere and change course in the face of adversity. Their lessons will inspire business leaders to take their teams to new adventures of great discovery.

New Testament Story Print On Demand Title
$32.99A Print on Demand Title
This informative, clearly written book introduces the New Testament in two main ways: (1) it explains where the New Testament came from, and (2) it examines the New Testament writings themselves.
Ben Witherington first tells how and why the New Testament documents were written and collected and how they came to be known as the New Testament that we have today. He then discusses the main stories and major figures in the New Testament. Witherington looks particularly at the Gospels, examining how and why their stories differ and pointing out what these ancient biographies actually say about Jesus. He also surveys the ways that these stories were told and retold, explaining how this literary development has influenced Christian theology, ethics, and social thought. Each chapter ends with a section called “Exercises and Questions for Reflection and Study” (written by Darlene Hyatt), making this book especially useful for Sunday school classes and group Bible studies.

Till The Heart Sings
$26.99This new edition of Till the Heart Sings, including a substantial foreword by Phyllis Trible, makes available again Samuel Terrien’s rich, acclaimed study of the biblical witness to personhood. Sweeping yet selective in scope, the book argues that the Bible as a whole advances a theology of manhood and womanhood unique in the ancient world. This theology, which resides in the main thrust of Scripture, turns away from sexism and misogyny to confer upon woman as well as man the full stature of humanity.
Terrien begins his argument where the Bible itself begins, with creation. He describes the first woman as “the crown of creation,” in a mutual relationship with the first man. He then proceeds through Scripture – including the prophets, the Wisdom literature, the Gospels, and the Pauline letters – systematically showing that when the books of the Old and New Testaments are viewed in their historical growth, they reveal a theology of manhood and womanhood that runs counter to both traditional Judaism and Christianity and to modern religious attitudes and practices.
In the course of his thorough analysis of Scripture, Terrien eloquently examines a host of themes bearing on the issues of gender and personhood, from the myth of the Garden and the eros-agape continuum in the Song of Songs to male overreaction to sexual mysticism and the Gnostic personification of wisdom. Terrien also explores matters related to marriage, homosexuality, and male and female priesthood, all with the aim of uncovering a truly biblical understanding of the relationship between the genders and between all people and God.

Jesus Now And Then
$21.50Jesus Now and Then engagingly traces the changing images of Jesus in scholarship and popular culture from the time of the early church to the present day. Who did Jesus think he was? Did the early church take a man and make him into God? Was Christianity actually invented by Paul? How has Jesus been treated in the centuries since? What contemporary views are compatible with a traditional understanding of Scripture?
Richard Burridge and Graham Gould leave no stone unturned in detailing Jesus’ life and legacy. They start with the evidence about Jesus found in the New Testament and then go on to explore the early-church debates as a way of tackling contemporary issues. They also discuss how the figure of Jesus has been portrayed through history, how his teachings have been understood, and how he has come to be worshiped by Christians around the world. This essential historical information sets current questions and controversies about Jesus into context and helps to explain the many different views and interpretations of him now on offer.

Rediscovering The Triune God
$56.66Theologian Stanley Grenz here tells the story of trinitarian theology in the last century. He analyzes the remarkable ferment in the discipline and discusses key theologians including Karl Barth, Karl Rahner, Jurgen Moltmann, Wolfhart Pannenberg, Robert Jenson, Elizabeth Johnson, Catherine Mowry LaCugna, Leonardo Boff, John Zizioulas, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Thomas F. Torrance. In doing so, Grenz examines a variety of trinitarian issues such as God’s inner life versus God’s relationship to creation (immanent and economic trinity), social versus psychological analogies for the relationships within God, the relationship between trinity and Christology, the feminist critique of classical categories, and how God’s trinitarian life figures in evolution, social justice, and spirituality. Grenz’s engaging introduction places the recent ferment in trinitarian thought within a historical framework, while his conclusion sets a future agenda for the doctrine and theology.

Brink Of Death
$14.99Book one of the new edge-of-your-seat Hidden Faces series, featuring forensic artist Annie Kingston Annie Kingston moves to Grove Landing for safety and quiet_and finds herself face to face with evil. The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like wraiths in the night. Twelve-year-old Erin Willit opened her eyes to darkness lit only by the dim green nightlight near her closet door and the umbra of a street lamp through her front window. She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl as she tried to discern what had awakened her. Something was not right. An oak tree lifted gnarled branches between the street lamp and her window, its leaves casting eerie spider-shadows across the far wall. When she’d been younger, Erin had asked that a small lamp on the desk by that wall be left on at night. Anything to dispel the jerking dances of those leaves. Lately she could watch the dark trembling across the posters of pop stars on her wall and be unafraid. But not tonight. On this night the shadows writhed and twitched. Erin listened . . . When Annie’s neighbor, Lisa Willit, is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff’s detectives are left with little evidence. Lisa’s daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but she’s too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow desperate. Because of her background in art, Annie is asked to question Erin and draw a composite. But Annie knows little about forensic art or the sensitive interview process. A nonbeliever, she finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face that doesn’t exist. Leaving the real killer free to stalk the neighborhood . . .

Name
$14.99Before offering a prayer at the inauguration of President George W. Bush, Franklin Graham was asked by a fellow participant if he intended to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Graham assured him that he would and encouraged this pastor to do the same.

The Name explains the significance of names in the Hebrew culture, centering on the meaningfulness of the name Jesus. Chapters focus on the different aspects of power in the Lord’s name, such as “Healing in the Name” and “Salvation in the Name.”

Covenant and Commandment at first seeks to establish that the heart of Hebrew faith and thought is a vision of God as one who makes covenants-with Israel, with all humankind, and, indeed, with the whole creation. As a covenant-maker, God binds himself through his promises. It is Israel’s conviction that God is the kind of God who makes promises and keeps them. This conviction, as Christian contends, has given creative power and shape to the whole of Hebrew and Christian history.As the books continues, C. W. Christian contends that the Hebrew law, especially that expression called the Ten Commandments, can best be understood as a joyful response to God’s covenant grace, a response that embraces every aspect of our being: community with God, with each other, and with God’s world. Each of the commandments is then examined to discover how it may provide guidance in living unto God and in human community.
Covenant and Commandment is ideal for either personal or group study on the nature and use of the Ten Commandments. A study guide with relevant questions is provided for reflection and discussion.

Power Of Forgiveness
$18.73Jide and Remi’s relationship was supposed to seal the generations of friendship between two families, but something happened-instead of friendship, the two families became bitter enemies. Read how the power of forgiveness brought these two families back together. “My favorite aspect of the book is Femi’s use of the concept of contrast throughout the book, i.e., the contrast between one generation and the next, between African and Western culture, between Christianity and false religions, between male and female roles, between the past and present, between the mindset of revenge in one philosophy and the freedom and love offered through the power of God, and of course the contrast between living with hard hearts and with forgiveness.” -Steve York, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, OMAHA, NEBRASKA “In The Power of Forgiveness, Femi demonstrated how by the grace of God, hatred passed down from one generation to another was turned into love. This book brings to life the healing power of forgiveness in those sold on Christ … I could not put the book down from the moment I started reading to when I finished reading it.” -Dupe Oyebolu, RETIRED NURSE, ABEOKUTA, NIGERIA “An outstanding piece of prose that concisely presents the message of the gospel in a dramatic yet powerful way … This book gives a simple yet profound message to its readers-it is only the power of Christ’s love that can conquer evil.” -Wumi Ademola, ASSISTANT PASTOR D.I.C., HOUSTON, TEXAS

Story Behind the Book
For nearly six years, Rich shared his thoughts about faith and life through his columns in Release magazine. When his first column was published in the spring of 1991, the editors introduced him this way: “Rich not only has a lot to say…he also has a unique way of saying it. And although Mr. Mullins could easily fit into that intellectual bohemian-type category (we’re sure he could hold his own in a discussion with any theologian or philosopher of old), most often, his message is a straightforward call back to the principles of faith. He’s a poet, a scholar, a gentleman, and yes, just a little bit off-center. But that’s why we like him, and are pleased to welcome Rich to Release with this regular column.
We trust you’ll love him and what he has to say as much as we do…” Rich had a way with words, and a collection of his writings seems an appropriate tribute to a man who has been referred to as “the greatest songwriter of our time.”
