Reign Of Grace
$21.95Thrill to the loving implications of God’s disruptive grace. With bold perspective and soul searching honesty, author Scotty Smith dares us to explore the radical nature of the grace of God, addressing such questions as:
What does it mean to be a good steward of God’s grace?
Is God more concerned about my happiness or my holiness?
When God brings freedom, healing, and peace, what’s supposed to happen next?
If God’s love is so compelling, what does it compel me to believe, do, and become?As believers, we are sometimes more interested in a masseuse rather than a Master. Smith dares to remind us that God’s love is a s disruptive as it is delightful, as demanding as it is delicious! God loves us exactly as we are today, but he loves us too much to leave us where we are. As objects of God’s affection, we are called to live as subjects in his kingdom under the reign of his glorious grace.

Gods People Gods Plan
$37.48When Satan deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden, God’s creation came under the judgment of death. Almighty God came up with a plan for His creation to defeat death. He chose His people and made a covenant (promise) with them. That promise was twofold: to defeat death by way of a Redeemer, and to defeat their enemies by way of a conqueror, the Messiah. Why should we believe the Bible is true? Doesn’t science disprove the biblical creation account? Then why should we believe any Messiah hype? Was the talk of a Messiah a false hope? This book is written for Jews who want to learn the truth about the foundations that bind their faith, beginning with the creation, and how beliefs about our origins should affect our daily lives. Scripture from the Hebrew Bible is included within the text to help make the biblical integration most effective. The author explains why scientific evidence supports biblical creation and a young earth. More importantly, he upholds the accuracy of the biblical messianic prophecies-that God has made a plan for redemption and for conquering the enemies of Israel. When will the Messiah come? Has He come already? Would you know Him?

Clothesline Chats

Clothesline Chats is a turnkey approach to getting to know fellow group members. A Chat group of up to fifteen women follows a schedule to telephone one another. Each woman receives a Chat name, and the group selects fourteen Chat days. On each Chat day, each woman considers a suggested conversation topic and initiates a Chat with one group member. Through these Chats, the women gain a familiarity with each other that rarely occurs in a group setting. Whether a group is diverse or similar, newly formed or well established, knowledgeable about Christianity or new to the faith, any Christian woman can benefit from the support and encouragement that comes from sharing her life experiences with her sisters in Christ

Miracles And Wonders
$45.71208 Pages
Additional Info
At some time or another, nearly everyone needs a miracle. Failing health, financial difficulties, deteriorating relationships all are problems that make people cry out for divine intervention. But while Scripture offers numerous examples of God performing miracles for ancient generations from Moses and the burning bush to the loaves and fishes that fed 5,000 does He still do it in the 21st century? Author Calvin Miller investigates, delving into the Scriptures and drawing on modern testimonials to find the answer. He examines the Bible’s most famous miracles from the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection of Christ, analyzes the discrepancy between science and miracle, and explores such perplexing questions as why God chooses to intervene on some occasions but not on others. By illuminating God’s patterns, Miller reaches a conclusion that offers a tremendous source of faith and inspiration: Yes, God breaks His natural laws to bless mankind with His mercy, compassion, and love.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Treasures Of War
$41.86How many millions of Americans must lose their lives while fighting religious ideology wars and “evil gods”? The worldwide media are filled with stories on the evil committed by religious-based terrorism against innocent people. Bureaucrats often compromise their positions on fundamental values because they fear the underground terrorist cells. I vowed to tell the stories of the ruthless “living evil gods” and their divine worshipers during World War II and the unimaginable horrors of war and sacrifices made by the American and Allied soldiers and their families. “Living evil gods” invaded and looted nations of their treasures to finance battles and to conquer and destroy enemies. Many war crimes were brushed aside by corrupt American and Allied military and political leaders. Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Christian, and Shinto all profess peace. However, when a radical group of any religion seeks power over nonbelievers, it reverts to terror to conquer and maintain its disciples. America should use its God-given powers to remove fanatical groups that use terrorist methods to destroy our freedoms.

Isaiah 2 : Prophet Of Deliverance And Messianic Hope (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99Lessons 11-21
Additional Info
Many of Isaiah’s writings have been called “the fifth Gospel.” The New Testament contains no fewer than 66 direct quotes from Isaiah, and 20 of the New Testament books include his timeless words. In Jesus’ first formal appearance in His hometown synagogue at Nazareth, He captivated the speechless congregation by reading from Isaiah.But it was more than the mere reading, of course. Jesus claimed that the words He read from Isaiah were literally being fulfilled in Him, the Messiah. Indeed, the Book of Isaiah is replete with predictions of both the first and second comings of Christ. And it was Isaiah who made clear (in chapter 53) that the Messiah would be a largely rejected suffering Servant, shattering the time-honored hopes of Israel that His primary function would be to rescue His people from their political oppressors. But the glorious news the prophet proclaimed was that this Servant’s stripes and shed blood would provide healing and atonement for our sin.
Through his proclamations of the gravity of sin, the righteous requirements of a holy God, and the sure hope of the coming Messiah, Isaiah provides a message of incredible hope for people of all ages.
This second part of Wisdom of the Word’s study on Isaiah examines chapters 40 through 66 of this inimitable book.

Christly Gestures : Learning To Be Members Of The Body Of Christ
$29.99The church is not only the central place of Christian worship but also a place of faith-filled education. Christly Gestures reframes the very meaning of religious education, exploring what the form and content of Christian learning would look like if local churches truly saw themselves as the body of Christ.
Author Brett Webb-Mitchell begins with the writings of Paul, using them to clarify the biblical image of Christ’s body as the community of believers. Taking this powerful analogy to heart, he suggests that Christian education must not only nurture the minds and spiritual lives of church members but also educate their bodies into the “Christly gestures” – performing acts of faith that imitate Jesus and embody the gospel in daily life. In the quest for a richer, more relevant understanding of Christian education, Webb-Mitchell provides meaningful answers to questions concerning the purpose, context, ways, and means of educating Christians today.

Where All Hope Lies Print On Demand Title
$29.99304 Pages
Additional Info
“Where All Hope Lies” presents fifty-six select sermons by James Van Tholen, a gifted young pastor who lost his battle with cancer in January 2001 at the age of thirty-six.Though Jim’s untimely death gives a certain poignancy to this volume, these sermons are far from dark or despairing. Van Tholen’s conversational style, thought-provoking insights into Scripture, and frequent interaction with such writers as Flannery O’Connor, Frederick Buechner, Kathleen Norris, and others make these sermons truly enjoyable as well as profitable to read. Through them all there runs a sense of concentrating on what really matters trusting in God no matter what suffering or difficulties might come our way. Indeed, as demonstrated by the book’s title sermon first published in “Christianity Today” as “Surprised by Death” more than anything, Van Tholen preached the grace and goodness of God.
Including a foreword by Neal Plantinga and a closing reflection on “the man behind the sermons” by Jim’s wife, Rachel, “Where All Hope Lies” offers gracious, powerful, uplifting words for believers throughout the church year

Good Ole Spiritual Food

It is thought provoking and uplifting, relational and moody, inspiring and moving. Readers will want to share this book with others because it was written out of real life experiences that most people face at some point in their lives. Good Ole Spiritual Food references scripture from the Bible to enhance the meaning of each inspirational poem, to confirm the unconditional love of Christ, and to open the eyes of the reader to the realization that Christ cares about every detail of his or her life. Good Ole Spiritual Food provides a short prayer with each poem. Too many times we get hung up on well-articulated prayers, thinking we have to know big words to be able to pray. This is just not true. Christ wants us to come to Him as little children, so how we pray is not important as long as we pray.
