Synans Of Virginia
$21.23The Synans of Virginia are descended from the ancient and noble Synan clan of County Cork in southern Ireland. With roots in Normandy, they came to Wales after the Norman invasion of 1066 A.D. and then migrated to Ireland in 1172 A.D. Here they owned twelve thousand acres of land, built castles, endowed churches, fought battles with their neighbors, and became a leading and powerful Irish family. This is the story of how a twelve-year-old lad, William Synan, came over to America in 1812, was stranded in Petersburg because of the war with England, and never saw his native land again. For almost two hundred years the Synans of Virginia have lived in America, fought in the nation’s wars, raised huge families, and contributed to the drama and richness of American life.

Grain Of Sand
$27.48Man is like a grain of sand, pushed by life upon the land. As he moves from place to place, he becomes, like sand, a part of all that he encounters.

Creation Unveiled
$29.98A concerned young activist proposes a way out of our current ecological predicament.But, the environmental movement is not going to like either of his two policy recommendations: repent of all your sins, and then accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. But Daniel Salomon, a champion of defending unpopular opinions, pleads with the environmental and animal movements to help them come to the realization that these two policy recommendations may be the only way out of planetary annihilation. Following in the tradition of Christian environmentalism, Creation Unveiled opens up the unique perspectives of Christian anthropologist Rene Girard. It applies his ideas and perspectives to the environmental and animal movements, with the goal of building the case that the God of the Bible is a very good and a very green God. To alienate Him would be to alienate the environmentalist or animal activist’s best defense for saving the planet.

Ease The Squeeze
$27.48Economic uncertainty, layoffs, corporate scandals, stock market losses, excessive credit card debt, inability to save for the future, stress, overload, relationships in turmoil, choices, priorities– Americans are feeling SQUEEZED!

Though we are more prosperous as a nation than ever before, the personal financial trends that are sweeping our country and generation are sobering. Our savings rate has dipped from 12% to 1%. We file 1.4 million bankruptices a year versus 100,000 in the 1950s. Our government debt is more than 6 Trillion dollars. The average American has 16.7 credit cards with $8367 of debt. The annual number of divorces has quadrupled to 1.2 million, and our giving has decreased from 6% to 2.6%. We pay an average of $1000 a year in interest and give only $754 a year.
Surveys show that for many people these trends are a result of their financial situation, a lack of financial training, or a lack of proper planning and priorties.

Upside Down Marriage
$16.86Just for fun let’s view our marriages like a coach would view building a successful athletic team… We have to decide whether or not we are going to be spectators or players. Watching a basketball game is fun. Attending a pep rally for our favorite team is exciting. Having season tickets is nice. But this is one game we do not want to be sitting in the stands watching others play the game. We do not want to be on the sidelines cheering for our team or for our families. This is one game, one adventure we want to come away with sweat on our brow, dirt on our pants, soreness in our muscles, and a heart filled with excitement. We do not want to be left behind while other couples move ahead in their marriages. Marriage is the adventure of a lifetime. The game of all games. The sport of all sports. A healthy marriage, a healthy home is worth the price. It is worth the hard work. It is worth the sweat equity. It is one game we should not mind getting banged up and bruised. It is one game in which we do not want to miss the practices. We will become better husbands due to the hard work and the practicing.

Theres Enough Woman Left To Be Your Lady
$22.48Using biblical characters such as the woman with an issue of blood, Junious Epps Jr. shows how women are bleeding with issues that keep them bent over until they reach out to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment. Life knocks us all off balance, sometimes making it hard to get back on our feet. Hot rays of testing can turn a woman’s mind, home, job, and even church life into a wilderness of relentless turmoil. Having felt disconnected, isolated, and not able to make sense of blatant hypocrisy, women realize that the only answer to their survival is to tread the “wilderness” of rejection, which ultimately strengthens them to totally submit to God’s Spirit. Dr. Epps reminds women that in moments of indecision, God offers them a breakthrough revelation that they need to confront their trials and overcome their obstacles. Only in the wilderness can they discover their true path in life, ministry, fellowship, and anointing. There’s Enough Woman Left to Be Your Lady is a companion for every woman who wants to walk through even the most difficult days side by side with her Lord.

Forgiving And Reconciling (Revised)
$29.99Psychologist and counselor Everett Worthington, the leading Christian researcher on forgiveness, says that forgiving is a gift we give to others.

In this insightful and practical book, Worthington provides a clinically proven stategy and a wealth of resources for moving toward forgiveness.

Whats Good About This News
$28.00In this study of the Gospels and the book of Galatians, David Bartlett explores how to reconcile the biblical text’s message to our contemporary context and a particular congregation’s character and need. While, as he shows, important continuities exist in the way the good news is understood throughout the New Testament, precisely what it looks like and how Christians respond to it differs between Mark, Paul, John, and the rest of the writers. Consequently, he demonstrates, preachers have options as they try to discern what news a congregation needs to hear on a particular Sunday. Including sample sermons, What’s Good about This News? shows how each of these biblical texts remains a redemptive word for today’s people.

Science And The Study Of God
$25.50Religion and science today are often seen as enemies battling for human hearts and minds. In this new book Alan Padgett takes a postmodern turn, arguing that they can and should work together collegially, developing a worldview that is at once spiritually meaningful and scientifically sound.
Pursuing a perspective that he calls the “mutuality model,” Padgett highlights the contributions that both religion and science make to a full understanding of the world and our place in it. He argues convincingly that the natural sciences and theology, even though they have their own domain as disciplines, can rationally influence each other without giving up their distinctive methods.
The book explores the nature of informal reason and worldviews, the character of theology as a spiritual and academic discipline, and the question of what counts as natural science. Along the way, Padgett discusses such topics as thermodynamics, time, resurrection, and the historical Jesus to illustrate his powerful mutuality model.

Christ On Trial
$19.99The trial, conviction, and death of an innocent man 2,000 years ago have particular resonance today. Atrocities from around the world shake us nearly every day, and we all experience trials in our own lives too. In this book the new Archbishop of Canterbury looks in depth at the trial of Jesus, using it to teach readers how to face the challenges of life in today’s trying times.
Bringing the biblical accounts of Jesus’ trial vividly to life, Rowan Williams highlights what can be learned about Jesus from each of the four Gospel portraits. Mark shows a mysterious figure revealed as the Son of God. Matthew describes the Wisdom of God tried by foolish men. Luke presents a divine stranger. John speaks of the paradox of divinity submitting to judgement. These illuminating discussions are followed by a reflection on Christian martyrdom and a meditation on tyranny, freedom, and truth. A set of discussion questions and a thought-provoking prayer after each chapter make “Christ on Trial” an ideal book for study groups.
Throughout the book Williams draws not only from the Bible but also from fiction, drama, and current events, pointing up ways in which society today continues to put Christ on trial. Even more, he argues that all Christians stand with Jesus before a watching world. Though we may not be directly confronted with death, we are nevertheless called daily to respond to the falsehood of such lures as power, influence, and prestige.
Several words aptly describe this book by Rowan Williams: Profound. Incisive. Literary. Contemporary. Relevant. Prophetic. “Christ on Trial” will move and change those who read it.

1st Christian : Universal Truth In The Teachings Of Jesus
$19.99In his new book Paul Zahl seeks a broader understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus. What was it within his message that burst his first-century Jewish context? What was creative, fresh, and universal about his message? What did Jesus maintain, within his own setting and period, that is still true and applicable today? In pursuit of these questions Zahl swims against the current of modern scholarship, arguing that Jesus was more “Christian” than “Jewish.” Jesus’ teaching concerning the kingdom of God is replete with Christian perspectives on personhood and salvation, and his insights into original sin and grace are closer to core Christianity than much recent literature acknowledges. A pleasure to read, The First Christian makes a significant new contribution to today’s quest for the historical Jesus.

Mapping Postmodernism : A Survey Of Christian Options
$36.99IVP Print On Demand Title
By now we’ve all heard the word postmodernism.
*But what is it?
*Can it be defined?
*Does it really represent a monumental shift away from how we use to think about right and wrong, truth, the world, and even the whole cosmos?
* Most important, how should Christians respond?Robert C. Greer helps us grasp the nature of the shifts in thinking and believing that are taking place in our world. More important, he helps us navigate the complex debate among Christians as to how best to respond to these new challenges. Astutely he maps four different ways Christian thinkers have recommended we respond. These alternatives are represented by four theologians: Francis Schaeffer, Karl Barth, John Hick and George Lindbeck. Greer warns that being merely for or against postmodernism is inadequate. He guides us across the terrain of alternatives along a path that leads neither back to the land of modernism nor to the wild frontiers of postmodernist relativism. Acknowledging the relative strengths and weaknesses of these options, Greer turns us to a thoroughly Christian theology that points beyond them to the true Subject who makes knowledge possible through the language of revelation and relationship with God. This book is an illuminating map for all those who feel lost in the maze of conflicting analyses of postmodernism and are looking for a faithful way forward .
