      Additional Info
      The bottom line is that our risen Lord manifests himself exclusively to the church. We’re the ones who witnessed his life, death, and resurrection, and therefore, we are the ones responsible for declaring it to the world. If people don’t know what took place on Easter, it’s not Pilate’s fault. We can’t blame the government for not getting the message out. Christ came to us. This is our story to tell.
      (from “Sharing What We Have Been Shown,” Epiphany 5 sermon)
      In this collection of sixteen inspiring sermons based on New Testament epistle texts, Robert Crilley powerfully proclaims the good news to a modern world that desperately needs to hear the healing message of God’s unconditional love. Thoroughly grounded in scripture and chock-full of compelling personal stories and insightful illustrations, these sermons cogently relate the challenges faced by the early church to our contemporary lives — drawing clear lessons for Christian living. Crilley is a master preacher whose messages are memorable both for their friendly charm and for their potent biblical witness.

    • Your Inheritance : The Kingdom Of God

      $19.36

      My goal in writing this little book is to help us get to know God our Father better and open our eyes to the blessings He has given us so we will live as His heirs of the kingdom that is and is to come. The Holy Spirit quickens the Word of God to us so we can know God and apply His blessings and His Word in our lives. This helps us be more useful, productive, and fulfilled in the kingdom of God on earth today. May this open the eyes of our minds to see Messiah Jesus as king of the kingdom. My dear brother in Christ, Bill Bremer: I was so taken by your book, Your Inheritance: The Kingdom Of God … and I highly recommend this inspired writing to all my friends. The revelation of the apostle Paul is something needed to be heard in this time slot of our lives…. The unsearchable riches of Christ, which is the manifold wisdom of God, is now unveiled in a way never before known by men. We’ve been friends for many years and I’m impressed with your strong desire to encourage others to go deeper and deeper in Christ. I love the way in which you bring the Jewishness of the Messiah to light in a manner we do not see enough of today. It is in knowing the Jewish scriptures and customs that we will come to understand the ministry and teachings of Jesus, the Messiah! You certainly have accomplished this in your wonderful book. Respectfully Submitted, Dr. Gene Boone

    • More Than A Prophet

      $19.99

      For the world’s one billion Muslims, Jesus is a prophet. A highly respected prophet, but one of many throughout history. For Christians, Jesus is more than a prophet. He alone is God incarnate, Lord and Savior. And therein lies the most profound difference between the two faiths.

      Based upon the authors’ extensive dialogues and debates with skeptical, angry, and interested Muslims, liberal Christians, and mainstream journalists, More Than a Prophet answers nearly one hundred and fifty questions about Islamic and Christian faith. Raised Sunni Muslim and now professors of Christian history and theology, the Caner brothers provide a unique perspective in comparing the religions.

      Sympathetic to Muslim concerns yet uncompromising in its portrayal of historic Christian truth, More Than a Prophet is an indispensable handbook for Christians who want to share their faith with sensitivity and intellectual honesty. It is also a helpful introductory resource for those seeking to understand Jesus.

    • Judaism Before Jesus

      $44.99

      IVP Print On Demand Title

      Turning the page from Malachi to Matthew, we skip a lot of history. In fact, it is something like missing several key episodes in an ongoing television saga. The setting and main plot line are familiar, but new characters have appeared and more recent events and developments are assumed. Did anyone record the episodes we missed? Fortunately a few did. Their reception wasn’t always good, and there are annoying cuts and splices. But Anthony J. Tomasino has put together the missing episodes and skillfully retells the story of Judaism before Jesus, from the time of Ezra and Nehemiah to the Herods, and even up to Masada. The result is an entertaining, informative and enlightening retelling of the story of Judaism and the development of the ideas, subplots and characters that shaped the world of Jesus and the first Christians.

    • Southern Storm

      $17.99

      Police Chief Cade disappears after hitting and killing a man with his car. Without a trace, without a note, without taking clothes or his car or money, he is gone. When a witness says she saw Cade getting into a blue Buick with a woman before his disappearance, the newspapers report that Cade left town to be with her. Blair knows it doesn’t make sense for Cade to leave without word for any reason. The dead man is identified, and it soon becomes clear that the woman Cade was seen with was the wife of the dead man. Newspapers begin to ask hard questions. Was the Cape Refuge Chief of Police having an affair with this woman? Did he deliberately kill her husband, then make it look like an accident? When the police department receives a handwritten note from Cade that he has run off to get married to a woman he’s kept secret, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. But Blair notices his unusual signature: Matt Cade. Cade never goes by his first name, and he especially never calls himself Matt. She thinks it’s a signal from him that the contents of the note are false. Meanwhile, around the south, there are news reports about babies being kidnapped from area hospitals. When a ransom call comes to Hanover House from the baby’s kidnapper, they are all shocked to see that the phone it is traced to is Cade’s cell phone. Is he involved in the babies’ disappearance? Is that why he’s disappeared?

    • Street Bible

      $13.99

      An engaging new translation of the Bible into the language of the city. Rob Lacey reworks the metaphors, situations, and speech patterns of the Bible to create a real impact on the modern, urban reader. Taking the key texts of the Old and New Testament, Rob Lacey employs the MTV dialect of today’s urban city to create a new and original look at what may be over-familiar stories. Through its modern style, The Street Bible acts as an accessible and exciting introduction to the Bible for the uninitiated reader while giving a fresh perspective to the church community. A sample from Romans 7 reads: ‘So what’ll we say then? Are the Ten Written Rules wicked? No! We’d never have known what ‘wicked’ was, unless the rules had been published and circulated. Rule 6 says: “Don’t drool over what’s not yours,” but of course, my dark side takes its cue from this and what happens? I’m gagging for stuff that’s not mine and never should be.’ A translation that will bring the timeless message of the Bible into the 21st century with the impact it had in the 1st century.

    • 1 Tuesday Morning

      $17.99

      Jake Bryan is a New York City fireman and devoted family man. He has a storybook marriage to Jenny, his high school sweetheart. Taped to the inside of his helmet is the photograph and name of their four-year-old daughter, Sierra. Eric Michaels is a driven financial manager who has spent the past five years climbing the corporate ladder, often at the expense of his wife, Amber, and two young sons. On September 11, 2001, Eric is doing business on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center when the building is hit by a commercial airliner. In the race down the smoky stairwell, Eric falls. At the same moment, firefighter Jake Bryan is rushing up the stairs. He stops and helps Eric to his feet and as he does, his helmet falls. Eric hands the helmet back to the fireman and both men freeze momentarily, stunned by the uncanny resemblance between them. Minutes later the building begins to shake and crumble. When Eric Michaels awakens he is beneath a fire truck. He is burned and bloody, and most of his clothes have been blown off. A fire captain rushes to his side, thinking he recognizes his friend Jake, and leads him to a triage center, then contacts the woman he assumes is the man’s wife Jenny Bryan. By the time she arrives at the hospital, Eric’s face is bandaged from the burns and injuries. When the bandages come off, days later, Jenny assumes that the difference in his appearance is due to the effects of the burns. Eric remembers almost nothing from before the attack. In the months that follow, Eric struggles to fill the gaps in his memory and to relate to a wife and daughter he doesn’t remember. On the opposite coast, Amber, grieving the loss of her husband, is helped by Eric’s best friend–a single man who has always adored her. Then Eric begins having disturbing dreams and flashbacks–of a different family. And questions begin to grow in Jenny’s mind.

    • Where The Heart Is

      $27.48

      “Things get spilled, the “TO DO” list is endless, and grows sprouts like neglected old potatoes.” So writes Charles William Golding in one his poems about living in February. To read his poetry is to enter his life, meet his family and friends, wander through his wife’s personally sculptured wild English country garden, visit with him in his early life in his native Virginia, and share the wonders of life in the Pacific Northwest. In all his poems he also sprinkles them with a subtle sense of humor, and quite frequently a different perspective of views enhanced by living abroad for long periods of time in London and Spain.

    • Sharing Visions

      $28.68

      The Bible is filled with many familiar stories of mystical experiences — Moses and the burning bush, Samuel in the temple, the angel’s visit to Mary, and Paul’s Damascus road experience are just a few examples — and many modern Christians have equally powerful experiences of the Lord’s life-changing power and presence.

      In this follow-up volume to Vision Stories, 84 contributors share their authentic, intensely personal accounts of encountering the divine, including visions, healing miracles, and answers to prayer. Each vignette manifests the indescribable joy, comfort, and peace we experience in God’s presence. And because each personal story also illustrates a scripture passage from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary, Sharing Visions is an especially valuable resource for lectionary preaching. But even more, it’s inspiring reading for personal devotion and spiritual growth.

    • Is God Real

      $20.61

      Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Boogey Man, the devil, and God are a few of the oldest American childhood stories. The people and environment around the children, as they develop, are the things that will feed and shape their natural curiosity to determine how much they believe or disbelieve these stories. With the exception of God, every child has probably seen some kind of physical representation of all of the characters listed above. We live in a “seeing is believing” society. Therefore, every American parent has probably experienced his or her children wanting to know the who, what, when, where, and why about God. “Is God real?” Come, “let the truth be told” by going on one man’s lifetime journey to answer that very question. Every atheist and believer who takes this trip from start to finish will come away knowing the absolute truth.

    • My Journey To Paradise

      $34.36

      This is the first-hand story of a Cambodian boy who found himself caught in the crossfire of civil war and then under the cruel oppression of the Khmer Rouge Communist regime. Enduring what is described in this book should have made him an emotional cripple. But God had other plans. He survived the Khmer Rouge holocaust, and when presented with an opportunity to go to America, he did so. He then took advantage of America’s educational opportunities and studied to become a dentist. After becoming a Christian, the hatred and bitterness he felt toward those who destroyed many of his relatives and friends turned to forgiveness. Where once he lived for revenge, he now lives to bring healing to others and to share the love of God. This book tells about what happens when men live without God. It also shows the providence of God in saving someone in great danger. It shows the power of the Gospel to change hate into love. It shows how the freedoms and opportunities available in America can equip a person to become a constructive citizen if he works hard to make his dreams a reality. This is a book of hope!

    • Strength In Weakness

      $21.99

      Help and hope for men . . .
      undermined by silent fathers
      harassed by pornography and sexual temptation
      afraid of failing those they love most
      angered by past relationships with women

      Help and hope for women . . .
      lost in their relationships with others
      betrayed by fathers, husbands or male leaders
      wounded by sexual assault
      paralyzed by self-hatred

      Andrew Comiskey sees our weakness as “a threshold for holy power”–the point at which God can meet us for healing and equip us for service. He has seen it happen again and again. During many years of ministry, Comiskey, his wife, Annette, and their fellow “strugglers” have accompanied hundreds of wounded men and women to transformation at the cross of Christ. Telling real-life stories of despair, hope and lasting change, Comiskey lays out the foundations for healing from relational and sexual sin. With chapters focusing on particular areas of vulnerability for men and women, on the battle over homosexuality in church and culture, and on the essential role of the church in ongoing healing, Strength in Weakness makes clear the way to the cross–God’s sufficient answer to our deepest needs.

    • Brooklyn Star

      $34.98

      There’s a knock at your door. Two men are waiting for you with briefcases and magazines. By peeking through your window shade, you can tell who they are. They’re Jehovah’s Witnesses, waiting to bring you “good news of Jehovah and His coming kingdom.” What do you do? You could: Tell them, “Thanks, but no thanks,” and shut the door in their faces. Tell them they’re sinners on their way to hell, and shut the door in their faces. Get into a theological argument, get frustrated when they won’t change their minds, and shut the door in their faces. Act as though no one’s home, thereby saving yourself from having to shut the door in their faces. Too many people choose one of the above, and wonder why Witnesses are “so hard to reach.” In Brooklyn Star, you’ll find a better way: E. Open the door and introduce them to the Messiah of Israel, the Lord Jesus Christ. You say you don’t know theology. You say you’ve never read The Watchtower. In Brooklyn Star, you’ll have both at your fingertips. You’ll have an accurate biography of Jesus. You’ll have citations drawn from nearly every major Watchtower publication since its inception. Above all, you’ll have the answers you need for those visitors at your door.

    • Rejoicing In Lifes Melissa Moments

      $19.95

      What is a “Melissa moment”? I mean those experiences now and then that bring clarity and conviction and assurance in the midst of situations otherwise riddled by ambiguity, ambivalence, confusion, and uncertainty. I mean those bright and shining moments which bring illumination and order into the midst of darkness and chaos. They are those times when we come to know who we are, what we believe, what we trust, and to what we are committed. A “Melissa moment” is any reordering of life that restores equilibrium and perspective, that refreshes and renews, that gets us back on track. (from the sermon “Rejoicing In Life’s ‘Melissa Moments’ “)

      In this warm, insightful collection of sermons, eminent theologian Kenneth Cauthen brings the simple clarity of a “Melissa moment” to the complex problems that daily confront us. The book derives its title from an incident where Cauthen’s daughter Melissa sparked a particularly moving epiphany, and it’s an apt description because the messages combine a profound understanding of scripture with poignant stories about real people and their struggles, sufferings, and moral challenges. Though much of Cauthen’s other work is academic in tone, these intensely personal meditations deal with profound moral and theological issues in the context of everyday life. Rejoicing In Life’s “Melissa Moments” affirms our faith and the goodness of God in the face of the modern world’s anxieties, terrors, and threats. It will make you think — but more importantly, it will also touch your heart.
