Contemplative Vision : A Guide To Christian Art And Prayer
$25.99While working as a docent in an art gallery, Juliet Benner began showing people how to meditate on Christian art treasures that are rooted in a passage of Scripture. She taught a way of encountering the Word behind both the words of Scripture and the artist’s meditation on Scripture. This became a way of seeing art as an aid to contemplative prayer. This process resulted in her much-beloved “O Taste and See” columns that appeared in the spiritual formation journal Conversations, now expanded into this book. In each chapter you’ll encounter a passage of Scripture and a corresponding piece of art. You’ll be guided into deeper levels of meaning and reflection through the text and the questions at the end of each chapter. In the process you’ll find yourself entering into a new experience of prayer and meditation in God’s presence.

Owners Manual For Christians
$19.99Best-selling author Charles Swindoll uses clear, biblical teaching and pastoral instruction to show Christians the essentials of the Christian life. The instant after salvation, the new believer’s question is: “What next? How should I live now that my life has changed?” What they discover, and what every Christian discovers, is that living a life that glorifies God requires mastering some basics, nothing more and nothing less. Yet most honest Christians would say that sin persists in their lives, and walking the walk can be harder than it looks. Written for all believers, The Owner’s Manual for Christians captures the essentials of the Christian life in simple, inspiring terms. Clear biblical teaching and pastoral instruction encourage readers onto the Christian life they long for . . . and can have. It just takes a God-given desire for obedience and the practical applications this book teaches. This will be a must-have for every Christian for years to come.

Putting Your Past In Its Place
$16.99Lives grind to a halt when people don’t know how to relate to their past. Some believe “the past is nothing” and attempt to suppress the brokenness again and again. Others miss out on renewal and change by making the past more important than their present and future. Neither approach moves people toward healing or hope.
Pastor and biblical counselor Stephen Viars introduces a third way to view one’s personal history-by exploring the role of the past as God intended. Using Scripture to lead readers forward, Viars provides practical measures to:
*understand the important place “the past” is given in Scripture
*replace guilt and despair with forgiveness and hope
*turn failures into stepping stones for growthThis motivating, compassionate resource is for anyone ready to review and release the past so that God can transform their behaviors, relationships, and their ability to hope in a future.

Other Jesus : Rejecting A Religion Of Fear For The God Of Love
$21.00According to recent surveys, many Americans associate the label “Christian” with judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, fear of hell, and a committment to right-wing politics. Author Greg Garrett suggests another way, arguing that a faith that focuses solely on personal morality and the afterlife misses much of the point of Jesus’ message.
Popular author Greg Garrett offers seekers a new “Christianity 2.0:” a religion centered not on judgmental attitudes, but on loving each other and loving God, or as Garrett puts it, “love, where the rubber meets the road, where faith meets the world.”
Personal and moving, the book relates the author’s personal experience growing up in–and leaving–a disapproving conservative church and then finding his way back to a different kind of Christian community, which is communal, missional, just, and loving. Garrett draws upon popular culture to illustrate his spiritual points, showing how authentic Christian truth can be found in unlikely places.

Souls In Full Sail
$25.99“We do not set out to become old. Far from it. We hardly intend even to become middle-aged. Instead we plan to live in some eternal now which will lead on to something better, something more complete than what we had before. . . . Sometime in our spiritual travels, as a complete surprise, we notice it has become winter. . . . This change has occurred, it seems, without preparation, without fair warning.” So spirituality writer Emilie Griffin begins, taking us on an exploration of our later years. It is a book filled with wonderful, rich story, carefully crafted spiritual exercises and wisdom from those who have gone before us. She explores relocation, vocational changes, losing her mother, and negotiating and renegotiating her relationships with her grown children. The journey of our later years is a wondrous voyage, though turbulent at points. But it is, as Emilie Griffin reminds us, the journey we have been preparing for all along.

10 Lies Men Believe
$19.99What Makes a Man? Every day our dysfunctional culture sends mixed signals about manhood as we are bombarded with messages that try to set the standard for us. The world of sports tells us that authentic masculinity is linked to physical strength and winning the game. The world of finance suggests that our worth is tied to the size of our bank accounts, the square footage of our houses, and the make and model of the cars we drive. Hollywood tells us that real manhood is measured by our sexual prowess. But if we are honest we must admit that muscles, money, and multiple sex partners don’t qualify us for true manhood. The measure of a real man goes much deeper.

Gospel According To Bob Dylan
$22.00During a Bob Dylan concert at the Royal Albert Hall in the mid-’60s, a heckler in the audience shouted “Judas!” at the performer. Few musicians, however, have stayed as loyal to their vocation as Bob Dylan, according to Gilmour (Gods and Guitars), an associate professor of New Testament and English at Providence College in Manitoba, Canada. Gilmour has written much about rock music, and his perspective is always fresh and intelligent. Dylan is a fertile subject for theological analysis since the musician has never shied away from biblical and other religious imagery in his songs. The author states that listeners are going to bring to Dylan’s songs their personal religious experience and find within Dylan the man and Dylan the musician what they desire to discover, including spiritual significance. The author digs into Dylan’s life story and, as a true fan himself, captures the genuine love that fans hold for the music icon. Gilmour’s approach to the subject transcends simplistic theological analysis of songs and does much to enhance the academic credibility of pop culture studies. Fans of Dylan and rock music in general will be pleased with this treatment of a living legend.

Giant Killers
$16.99The motionless form of a giant of Gath lay face down on the battlefield of Shochoh and blood from his forehead seeped into the earth below his face. The great intimidator Goliath, champion of Philistia, lay motionless. His terrifying words had ceased. A smooth stone from a shepherd boy’s sling was embedded in his skull. Goliath was finished.
For the shepherd boy David, it was a giant-sized step into the awesome place of destiny that God had ordained for him. It was a step from obscurity and rejection to kingly dominion, fame and wealth, global and eternal influence. It was a step that was ultimately felt as Messiah took His place in history establishing His Kingdom on Earth. Like David, an army of giant killers has been prepared by God for this hour. Often with small flocks and in lonely places of isolation, rejection and insignificance, this body of men, women, boys and girls is receiving its training for the most fruitful, significant time ever planned for world history.
The giants we face are not going to destroy us. We are not their prey. They are ours. They are food for us. They are to be swallowed up by God’s anointed champions, by the mighty power indwelling us. They are “our breakfast”, strengthening our resolve to step up to each new day.
Giant Killers will empower YOU, the everyday believer as YOU take on the Giants that YOU face in life. Tim Hall is a dynamic evangelist who has a passion to see souls saved and lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Walk with Tim Hall as he guides you to experience the miraculous power of God in your life.

Fools Guide To Wisdom
$26.99Paradox is present when the opposite of what one expects to be true, is true. The capacity to see paradox is the prerequisite to becoming wise. It is expressed when the weak become strong, those who lose their life find it, and the disheartened find the Lord who uses those “things that are not-to nullify the things that are (1 Corinthians 1:28 NIV).” This work demonstrates paradox in health, medicine, business, organizational leadership, cultural myths related to the family, the symptomatic solutions common in political and social structures, and in the spirituality expressed by people of faith. As the former director of an adolescent rehabilitation facility, the author has a keen awareness of the devastation caused by the failures of this generation. Clear and concise recommendations demonstrate the small changes that create enormous differences. We will discover that wisdom begins when we ‘fear the Lord’ and have ‘knowledge of the Holy One.’ The wise see paradox, but not because they look for it. Their openness of thought leads to a perception that life is an interaction of complex systems and ideas that truly transcend us all. Those with the God-given capacity to integrate knowledge, emotion, and faith will, in the end, find wisdom. Rick Myatt is a licensed psychotherapist with an extensive history. From building an orphanage in a war-torn country to becoming the director of an adolescent psychiatric rehabilitation facility, his experience includes crisis intervention, treating sexual addictions, and caring for children victimized by the murder of parents and child prostitution. With Masters Degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and in Theology, he has also completed all Ph. D. coursework in Family Sociology. He currently specializes in organizing his community to detect and prevent workplace violence.

After Shock : Searching For Honest Faith When Your World Is Shaken
$22.99In the wake of a historic earthquake in the fragile country of Haiti, Kent Annan considers suffering–from the epic to the everyday–as a problem for faith.
Less than two weeks after the release of Kent’s book about his work with Haiti Partners, he heard the news.
Friends trapped under the rubble of buildings. Friends sprinting across the city looking for family. Churches–including one Kent often attended–turned to rubble. Suddenly Kent and his friends were part of an uncomfortable fellowship: people whose faith is shaken by crisis. Taking courage from the psalmists of old and the company of his grieving neighbors, Kent has found that there is solidarity in suffering. Others have followed life to the edge of meaning and have heard God even there, calling for honest faith.
Are there questions or realities your faith can’t handle?
Kent wrote After Shock to help you find out.

He Still Moves Stones
$19.99It’s what happens when obstacles prevent you from seeing what God has done for you …
He still moves stones.
People with questions. The Bible is absolutely full of them. A crook on a cross. A wild man in a cemetery. A five-time divorcee. A despondent cripple. A grieving sister. A father at the end of his rope.
Why are these portraits in the Bible? So we can look back in amazement at what Jesus did? No … these aren’t just Sunday school stories. They are historic moments in which a real God met real pain so we could answer the question. “Does God care when I hurt?”
On every page of this powerfully moving book, Max Lucado reminds us, the God who spoke to Moses at the burning bush still speaks loudly to you today. The God who forgave King David still offers you forgiveness. The God who helped men and women in ages past still comes into your world, and he comes to do what you can’t, to move the stone away so you can see his answer.

Experiencing Gods Love In The Church
$16.99The church still demonstrates the heart of God to a wanting world.
Some turn off the church, criticizing its flaws and saying it is passe. Lost love for one another is the cause. When love is absent in a church, the results mar the church’s repuration. Church splits. Disloyalty. Disrespect. Disputes over nothing. Church hoping. Bashing good pastors.
Experiencing God’s Love in the Church encourages everyday believers to reconsider what Christ intended His body to be. Tom Blackaby calls readers to revive their commitment to love one another. When the world sees God’s people love as He loves, they see the Father – who sent the Son as a demonstration of His irresistable love for all.

Reaching Muslims : A One Stop Guide For Christians
$11.99A short, stimulating introduction for Christians to Islam and to the main themes of Muslim culture.
A fascinating introduction covering demography, theology, culture, politics, justice, and other aspects of Islamic identity. It is well illustrated with stories and examples. Nick considers what reasons a Muslim might have for thinking that Jesus is good news. What does the Qur’an say about Jesus? Why do we know that God loves Muslims? He then suggests thirteen ‘No Regret Moves’ to help build open-hearted friendships and to equip Christians to connect with Muslims, including: Pray in faith for open hearts; Foster curiosity; Show love in action; Invite others into The Story and your story. He deals with three theological hot potatoes – should Christians call God ‘Allah’; should a convert from Islam be baptised; and should Christians eat halal meat? Detailed appendices provide sample talks for Muslim audiences, and offer seven specific ways to foster contact with the Muslim community.

The brief readings and meditations in this small book offer a bridge between a busy day and a moment of restorative and blessed silence.
“The original edition emphasized thankfulness, and this revision emphasizes loving-kindness… It continues to be my hope to put the wisdom of the Rule to work in my life, and when I fail (as I do consistently) to begin again.” -From the Preface

Seeking Wisdom From God
$17.95Seeking Wisdom From God is a must read for anyone who is hungry for the meat of God’s Word. The answers to life’s questions as well as absolute truth are found in the Word of God. However, for the most part, these answers and truths lay beneath the surface of the verses and only when we seek discernment from God will they be revealed. God does not hide His truth to keep His children from finding it, but He did intentionally make deeper levels of understanding accessible only with His help.
Seeking Wisdom from God is about God’s promise to give abundantly to anyone who will seek wisdom through Him. God will reveal understanding that has escaped even the most learned of scholars. According to 1 Cor. 1:28,29, God’s extraordinary way of revealing His truth is through ordinary people.
With our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis, knowledge has increased exponentially. However, knowledge always increases faster than wisdom, and because of this, we have a glut of biblical knowledge and a shortage of wisdom. We need to know less and understand more.
This book chronicles the results of a heart and mind that learned early in life to go to the heavenly Father for understanding. It is a personal twenty-six-year case study of the faithfulness of God, who will give wisdom to anyone who asks. Seeking wisdom from God early in the author’s Christian walk did not happen because he was wise, but because of circumstances that God orchestrated for his training on how to find truth in His Word. May the different views shared in this book confirm that discernment of spiritual truth can only come from the spiritual.

No One Has Hired Us
$11.95Many excellent books have been written on the subject of how to get a job, and it is not my goal to add another to the library shelves. This study seeks to examine employment and unemployment from a Biblical perspective and will hopefully make suitable companion reading for other self-help books. If the Bible is-as many people say-God’s operating manual for successful living, then surely it will be our source of needed wisdom to cope with every life situation, including joblessness.
Contrary to the opinion of some people, the Bible has great relevance in today’s world. I have discovered a virtual gold mine of guidance, instruction, and encouragement for those who would turn to God’s Word in times of unemployment. Like gold, however, the nuggets are seldom found on the surface; they must be discovered through some effort. They are found embedded in the principles governing God’s kingdom that are scattered throughout the Bible. These principles will not only teach us how we should live, but also how we can make a living.

Spiritual Senses
$16.95“A Christian is not one who does this and that and another thing which is prescribed to be done; a Christian is not one who refrains from doing this and that and another thing because they are forbidden; a Christian is not one at all who is governed by the externalities of a way of life, an order, a legalistic system which says, you must, and you must not: a Christian is comprehended in this saying, ‘It pleased God to reveal His Son in me: ‘ (Gal. 1:15-16).”
Spiritual Senses is a compilation of four separate writings from our beloved author, T. Austin-Sparks. In each section of this book, he brings to our attention the desires and heart of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, concerning ourselves, our desolateness, and finally, how to go on onto Spiritual Maturity. So deep is this book that a person must have the revelation of Christ, His suffering and pain, and His ultimate glory, in order to appreciate what T. Austin-Sparks is saying.
This is not a book to be read speedily, but to be considered carefully in prayer, lest we miss any of the incredible truth that is endowed in these pages. May the Lord bless you richly as you humble yourself and partake of His great blessings.

Kingdom And The Cross
$16.99IVP Print On Demand Title
We believe a lot of false narratives about the nature of God, things like “God helps those who help themselves”; “God blesses the righteous”; “God might not be out for your good, and you might be missing something.” But pastor and professor James Bryan Smith points us to the truth of who God is, revealed by Jesus: A God who loves to help the helpless. A God who doesn’t play favorites, whether righteous or unrighteous. A God who is, in his essence, self-sacrificing–even to death–to save a people he loves. In six short chapters, The Kingdom and the Cross zooms in on Christ’s work on the cross and what it all means about who God is and how we’re to live as his people. A soul training exercise is included for each chapter to help the new true narrative take root in our hearts. And a discussion guide at the end makes this complement to The Apprentice Series perfect for groups to work through together, especially during the season of Lent. Understanding Christ’s work on the cross is crucial for any apprentice of Jesus. Here is a resource to help you see–and believe–more fully, that you might live more faithfully in his kingdom.

Out Of A Far Country
$17.00Coming Out, Then Coming Home
“Christopher, you must choose! You must choose the family or choose homosexuality.” He looked at me and said, “It’s not something I can choose… I am gay. If you can’t accept me, then I have no other choice but to leave.”
Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead, she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control-and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.
Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God’s desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality. God calls all who are lost to come home to him, and he wants everyone to pursue holy sexuality. Out of a Far Country speaks to prodigals, parents of prodigals, and those wanting to minister to the gay community.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.” – Luke 15:20
Includes a discussion guide for personal reflection and group use.

Seeking Wisdom From God
$33.95Seeking Wisdom From God is a must read for anyone who is hungry for the meat of God’s Word. The answers to life’s questions as well as absolute truth are found in the Word of God. However, for the most part, these answers and truths lay beneath the surface of the verses and only when we seek discernment from God will they be revealed. God does not hide His truth to keep His children from finding it, but He did intentionally make deeper levels of understanding accessible only with His help.
Seeking Wisdom from God is about God’s promise to give abundantly to anyone who will seek wisdom through Him. God will reveal understanding that has escaped even the most learned of scholars. According to 1 Cor. 1:28,29, God’s extraordinary way of revealing His truth is through ordinary people.
With our advances in understanding the ancient Hebrew and Greek languages coupled with the dissecting of Scripture using historical, textual, and literary analysis, knowledge has increased exponentially. However, knowledge always increases faster than wisdom, and because of this, we have a glut of biblical knowledge and a shortage of wisdom. We need to know less and understand more.
This book chronicles the results of a heart and mind that learned early in life to go to the heavenly Father for understanding. It is a personal twenty-six-year case study of the faithfulness of God, who will give wisdom to anyone who asks. Seeking wisdom from God early in the author’s Christian walk did not happen because he was wise, but because of circumstances that God orchestrated for his training on how to find truth in His Word. May the different views shared in this book confirm that discernment of spiritual truth can only come from the spiritual.

Dont Call It A Comeback
$17.99Some of today’s most influential young evangelicals outline the relevance and theological foundations of Christian orthodoxy and evangelicalism. Recent cultural interest in evangelicalism has led to considerable confusion about what the term actually means. Many young Christians are tempted to discard the label altogether. But evangelicalism is not merely a political movement in decline or a sociological phenomenon on the rise, as it has sometimes been portrayed. It is, in fact, a helpful theological profile that manifests itself in beliefs, ethics, and church life. DeYoung and other key twenty- and thirty-something evangelical Christian leaders present Don’t Call It a Comeback: The Same Evangelical Faith for a New Day to assert the stability, relevance, and necessity of Christian orthodoxy today. This book introduces young, new, and under-discipled Christians to the most essential and basic issues of faith in general and of evangelicalism in particular. Kevin DeYoung and contributors like Russell Moore, Tullian Tchividjian, Darrin Patrick, Justin Taylor, Thabiti Anyabwile, and Tim Challies examine what evangelical Christianity is and does within the broad categories of history, theology, and practice. They demonstrate that evangelicalism is still biblically and historically rooted and remains the same framework for faith that we need today.
