Paedofaith
$16.95Add to cartAt what point is it reasonable to suggest that a covenant child has faith? When she can articulate the gospel? When he can explain the concept of justification? Only after they have gone through an extended period where their faith is tested and proven to be real faith? Or is the capacity for faith directly linked to a certain age or level of maturity?
The Scriptures indicate that we can be confident that our children have faith from the womb and that we can expect that faith to flower and bloom throughout their life by God’s grace.
What is the nature of such faith? From where does it come and what do the Scriptures have to say about it? How can anyone say that an infant has the capacity for faith?
In this book, Rich Lusk answers these questions and more, giving hope to Christian parents that their little ones do indeed belong to Christ and have the capacity to trust Him.

Father And The Son And The Holy Spirit
$15.99Add to cart“The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” OR “Oneness-Jesus Only”: This book strives to provide biblically based answers to very important questions. Do we serve a Triune God who is ONE GOD and is seen in the three distinct persons of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, as Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 28:19? Or do we adhere to the teachings of the “Oneness-Jesus Only” doctrines that contradict the directives of Jesus Himself as given by Him to His disciples? This book also focuses on other doctrines within the “Oneness-Jesus Only” teachings that are in direct contradiction to the Word of God. Is water baptism in the Name of Jesus Only required for salvation? Is speaking in tongues a requirement of salvation as taught by Oneness Believers, or is speaking in tongues one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as we read in 1 Corinthians Chapter 12? Are we saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as the Scriptures teach “OR” are we saved through faith and works as set forth by some denominations? Who are we to follow-God or man?

Repentance 1 : The Doctrine Of God And The Knowledge Of Salvation
$27.99Add to cartThis work is written with a law enforcement officer’s investigative mindset and from the perspective of a prisoner. I discovered through a survey of Christian bookstores that no books were exclusively on or about repentance, but most only touched on the topic. The only author who had anything to say about repentance beyond a mere mention was Charles G. Finney in Finney’s Systematic Theology. This 600-page work transformed my thinking and influenced my investigation. This book discusses spiritual leadership without bashing any spiritual leader. It points out carnality without castigating any particular ministry or denomination. Hundreds of illustrations will familiarize the reader with revelations about repentance and carnality. These illustrations, like parables, contain revolutionary truths that are true to Scripture, reason, and life, so that Repentance: The Doctrine of God may become one harmonious revelation! Warning: As you read this book, you will encounter deep-seated carnality residing within the blackened depths of your soul, and it will not want to be exposed! But take heart-Almighty God will accompany you on this journey for the complete regeneration of your soul.

Having explored the issue of belief in general, he turns to the question of believing that the Christian faith is true. Central to Christianity’s truth claims, he argues, is the person of Jesus Christ. What can we know about him? Why should we believe what we read about him is true?

$59.99Add to cartThis is an important and original study of the ideas of self and Christian salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, David F. Ford engages with three modern thinkers in order to rethink and reimagine the self.

Jesus Christ : The Message Of The Gospels The Hope Of The Church
$29.00Add to cartJesus Christ The Message of the Gospels, The Hope of the Church In response to recent books that claim to reveal “the real Jesus,” Burton Throckmorton here offers a thoughtful, reasoned analysis of the life and significance of Jesus Christ-one that adheres to a faith-affirming pathway between espousers of an uncritical literalism and those who claim to derive “new” insight through historical, literary interpretations. Eschewing both fundamentalist rigidity and humanist revisionism, Throckmorton discusses the traditional identity and nature of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels. While keeping a close eye on historical detail, he explores and explicates the profound and lyrically spiritual implications of the life and meaning of Christ.

Scripture Way Of Salvation
$31.99Add to cartTaking its title from one of John Wesley’s most important sermons, The Scripture Way of Salvation explores the soteriological content of Wesley’s entire literary corpus. Fundamentally a doctrinal study, it is historically sensitive to the subtle shifts and nuances of Wesley’s continuing reflections about the process of salvation and the nature of Christian life. Collins provides a clear discussion of Wesley’s emerging views about the development and muturation of Christian life, and in so doing highlights the essential structure that undergirds and provides the framework for Wesley’s way of thinking about theprocesses of salvation.

Doctrine Of Humanity
$35.99Add to cartAt the end of the twentieth century the forces of race, gender, ethnicity, culture, social status, life-style and sexual preference threaten to disassemble any notion of universal “human nature” or “human condition.” In light of this historical moment, the Christian doctrine of human nature is ripe for rethinking and reformulation.
Charles Sherlock sees this theological task as demanding a “double focus.” To reflect on the subject of human nature, he says, is like “moving around the different areas of an ellipse with two focal points”: humans as made in the image of God and the particular realities of human existence. Both must be brought into sharper, more detailed focus in our quest to understand human nature.
The result of Sherlock’s “double focus” is The Doctrine of Humanity, a new volume in IVP’s Contours of Christian Theology. Sherlock notably engages the communal dimension of humanity in its social, creational and cultural aspects before examining the human person as individual, as male and female, and as whole being. He offers a timely and engaging look at what it means to be human on the continuum between our creation in the divine image and our recreation in the image of Christ.

5 Views On Sanctification
$19.99Add to cartChristians generally recognize the necessity for the believer to live a holy, or sanctified, life. But they disagree on what sanctification is and how it can and should be achieved. Five Views on Sanctification brings together in one easy-to-understand volume five major Protestant views on sanctification. Each author describes and defends his own understanding of the doctrine. Each writes from a solid evangelical stance. In addition, the contributors respond to each other’s views. Five Views on Sanctification addresses practical questions such as: How does one achieve sanctification in this life? And how much success in sanctification is possible? Is a crisis experience following one’s conversion normal — or necessary? If so, what kind of experience, and how is it verified?

4 Views On Salvation In A Pluralistic World
$19.99Add to cartReligious pluralism is the greatest challenge facing Christianity in today’s Western culture. The belief that Christ is the only way to God is being challenged, and increasingly Christianity is seen as just one among many valid paths to God. In Four Views on Salvation in a Pluralistic World, four perspectives are presented by their major proponents: Normative Pluralism: All ethical religions lead to God– by John Hick – Inclusivism: Salvation is universally available, but is established by and leads to Christ– by Clark Pinnock – Salvation in Christ: Agnosticism regarding those who haven’t heard the Gospel– by Alister McGrath – Salvation in Christ alone– by R. Douglas Geivett and W. Gary Phillips. This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views — both Christian and non-Christian — on important theological issues.

God Is A Warrior

Her Image Of Salvation
$40.00Add to cartThis book examines the image of the savior and the experience of salvation, two concepts that are inextricably entwined. Gail Streete asserts that Christianity set aside female images of salvation by emphasizing the maleness of Jesus. She draws on solid knowledge of the Jewish sources of Christianity and from the Greek-speaking classical world, from which Christianity assimilated so much, to show that the image of God could be seen as both male and female.

Elect In The Son
$22.00Add to cartIn this comprehensive treatment of all pertinent Scripture passages dealing with election, Dr. Shank demonstrates that Calvin’s doctrine of the unconditional election and the reprobation of particular people is without foundation in the Scriptures. He challenges the use of certain “proof passages” and shows that their application in this manner requires circumventing some of the most explicitly categorical affirmations of Scripture.
Dr. Shank demonstrates that the election of grace does not rule out the salvation of any man, that God truly wills all men to be saved. The cross is seen as the focal point of election and the event in which time and eternity find their true perspective.

them further, for they can scarcely realize so soon the potential of the new power God can release from deep within them.How to Be Born Again is at once universal and personal, for the new Christian and for the Christian along the Way – an irresistible primer for finding salvation, a guidebook for continuing growth.

Tabernacle
$22.99Add to cart12 Chapters
Additional Info
The tabernacle in the wilderness, which became the center of all worship of the children of Israel during their journeying, was designed by God Himself in heaven. It was a perfect replica of something that already existed before; it is a picture, a type, and a shadow of the Lord Jesus Christ, where God meets man, and where deity and humanity meet in one person.Every detail of the tabernacle points to some aspect of the person and work of our Savior. Then the tabernacle becomes, secondarily, a picture of the believer. Thirdly, it provides a complete picture of the plan of salvation.
It is an inexhaustible subject. Within the pages of this book, the three pictures of Christ, the believer, and the plan of salvation are drawn with stimulating and expressive words to emphasize the message of “‘Christ in us, the hope of glory.'”
