Becoming One
$15.49Add to cartCan we ignore the commands and prayers of Jesus Christ and expect to get by with it? “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee … that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” (John 17:21). Becoming One is a peacemaker that will bind the body of Christ in love. Can an arm say, “I have no need of the foot”? If we reject and ignore the body of Christ, we reject Jesus! “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40). Becoming One has thirty-two dynamic poems and sixteen short stories. It also contains sixty-one reasons directed at opening fellowship and communication in the body of Christ! It will help in understanding doctrinal differences. Becoming One can help your relatives and your church. It will be a tool in your library to break boring, unproductive tradition and religious rituals. Becoming One will challenge every church in your community. If you are a peacemaker and want to be used, this is your tool. Becoming One also unravels the confusion of Pre-, Mid-, and Post- Tribulation raptures. It has insight into seven different raptures between the Resurrection and the Millennium.

Listen With Your Heart
$16.49Add to cartThis is not simply another book of poems. To tell the truth, the author never really liked poetry much. The poems are divided into groups such as grace, faith, and praise, enabling them to be used as devotionals. Through the words of the Psalms and the language of the Scriptures, certain truths are revealed in the words of the poems. They are truths that all readers can know if they are open to the message that lies within. Through praise and honor to God, the words reveal their meaning through simple phrases. The writings will help you understand that during your happiest or saddest moments, and everything in between, keep your eyes focused on the Lord. Though the answer may not be clear, the destination is still the same. These words were revealed to an ordinary person who opened her heart to what God had to say. Nothing is “different” or “special” about her; she just learned to listen.

Testament Of Hope
$29.99Add to cart“We’ve got some difficult days ahead,” civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., told a crowd gathered at Memphis’s Clayborn Temple on April 3, 1968. “But it really doesn’t matter to me now because I’ve been to the mountaintop. . . . And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.”
These prohetic words, uttered the day before his assassination, challenged those he left behind to see that his “promised land” of racial equality became a reality; a reality to which King devoted the last twelve years of his life.
These words and other are commemorated here in the only major one-volume collection of this seminal twentieth-century American prophet’s writings, speeches, interviews, and autobiographical reflections. A Testament of Hope contains Martin Luther King, Jr.’s essential thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and more.

Truth Seeker
$15.49Add to cartCut off from our connection with the divine, humankind is afflicted by a metaphysical anxiety, which is now a global condition. The Truth Seeker is one woman’s journey to try and combat this malaise. Through poetry and prose, Lucy White questions her beliefs and tries to make sense of the secular and the sacred in her search for a connection with that essence of divine love we call God. Meditating on her personal journey led the author to the awareness that we live in a world of polarities between which we ricochet unknowingly. At present the secular outweighs the sacred and the male force outweighs the female force. Balancing these forces could bring peace and harmony to the world. The author espouses a new philosophy, that of Spiritual Feminism, a philosophy that acknowledges and elevates women as wise nurturers connected to the divine, a philosophy that balances the female force equally with the male force. During the writing of the book, Lucy White began to experience a benign energy force that seemed to be tracking her progress. Was God keeping an eye on her work?

If I Could
$14.99Add to cartIf I Could… is a compilation of biblical scripture taken from the King James Version of God’s Word and poetry by Paul McCutcheon. Even if you don’t agree with the interpretation of God’s Word, the poetry is very inspiring. Through the power of technology, Paul’s poems have helped show others they are not alone in their grief. Paul uniquely combines the Word of God with his poetry, taking a person through the steps leading to salvation and the gift of comfort that God offers to all who grieve the loss of a loved one. Paul continues his journey through grief from the death of his three sons with a deep desire to help others learn how to cope with their grief. He knows that a person in grief from the loss of a child cannot “just get on with their life,” yet he does know they can learn to cope with their grief. Paul’s book also offers a list of organizations dedicated to helping those who face a life of pain brought on by the death of a loved one.

Seeing The Psalms
$40.00Add to cartWilliam Brown introduces a new method of exegesis, particularly for biblical poetry, that attends to the metaphorical contours of the psalms. His method as proposed and demonstrated in this book supplements traditional ways of interpreting the psalms and results in a fresh understanding of their original context and contemporary significance. Brown’s pioneering work explores the hermeneutical promises and challenges of interpreting the book of Psalms through the lens of metaphor. While form-critical analysis has been the staple of psalms research for over a century, scholars have by and large overlooked the Psalter’s use of imagery at great theological cost. More than any other corpus in Scripture, the Psalter embodies “incarnational language,” discourse that is as visceral as it is sublime. The psalmist’s use of imager, Brown argues, has the power to captivate the imagination, edify the mind, and cultivate moral discernment and theological reflection.

Issues Of Life In Poetic Verse
$27.99Add to cartIn this unique work I have covered a variety of topics that have become vital though controversial in daily life. I have approached the subjects with an infusion of poetic verse dealing with the issues encountered in life that have been, and are, issues of personal conflict. There is no attempt to be scientific nor to disprove evolution, although many readers will require scientific answers for which there are none, because both Evolutionists and Creationists utilize faith for the proof they employ in their philosophies of life for the past, present, and future. The issues of faith are the real and only answers to many issues. The treatment of them is the result of a deep, personal religious faith that reveals to us a nation’s loss of morality in all segments of society from the point of view of a Christian. Christian Faith and Patriotism are two issues widely covered because morality is deeply involved in each of them. The last half of the book deals with an apologetic of creation because it is obvious to all Christian readers that there is a subtle attack against the promotion of their faith in America as a very real issue. Suffocation of Christianity from many quarters is an open fact of life. Many of the topics treated are not generally in the public’s daily reading matter and it should encourage Christians to continue to maintain a faith strong enough to withstand the attacks to destroy the Christian faith in America that have just begun in earnest.

Understanding God : Poems And Songs
$21.99Add to cartVeronica Grant-Miranda has been compiling her writings in her continuing journey of understanding God. Her first writing was in 1974 after a traumatic divorce when she cried out: “God, why me? You know I love and serve You!” God quickly replied, “Why not you?” Veronica realized that she was not exempt from pain and tragedy. In her trauma she cried and cried and cried. In her futility she clearly heard Jesus calling her name: “Veronica.” Upon hearing His voice her tears suddenly stopped. She also began to understand that this God whom she loved since the age of seven cannot be fully understood by human beings such as she, but can be completely trusted. He ever abides.

Despite all of his acknowledged greatness, almost no one reads Edmund Spenser (1552-99) anymore. Roy Maynard takes the first book of the Faerie Queene, exploring the concept of Holiness with the character of the Redcross Knight, and makes Spenser accessible again. He does this not by dumbing it down, but by deftly modernizing the spelling, explaining the obscurities in clever asides, and cueing the reader towards the right response. In today’s cultural, aesthetic, and educational wars, Spenser is a mighty ally for twenty-first century Christians. Maynard proves himself a worthy mediator between Spenser’s time and ours. -
Roar On The Other Side
$15.00Add to cartPoetry stands at the center of Christian living. We glorify God through noticing, comparing, and naming in sometimes startling ways. Unlike the eye of science, poetry sees the deeper meanings that bind seemingly disjointed facts together. Poetry is the language of revelation, a most immediate means by which we may suspect the Mystery of the Word inhabiting our lives. The Roar on the Other Side is an invaluable introduction to the habits and skills that make a poet; more importantly, it is an introduction to the “vision” that makes a poet worth reading.

No One Can Stem The Tide
$10.00Add to cartThough most of Jane Tyson Clement’s poems remained hidden in private notebooks during her lifetime (1917-2000), the few that traveled beyond her hands were widely admired and drew critical acclaim. Now, with this first comprehensive anthology of her work, the public can at last discover this gifted poet and give her the audience she deserves.
Evoking comparisons to such better-known contemporaties as Jane Kenyon, Wendell Berry, and Denise Levertov, Clement is direct and understated. Even when technically sophisticated, her poetry speaks with a familiar voice and draws on accessible images from the natural world.
Still, these are no mere “nature poems.” In exploring the varied emotions of life–of love, longing, and loss; memory, sacrifice, and desire; struggle and frustration, joy and resolve–they reveal the tireless seeking of a generous and honest heart and beckon the reader down new avenues of seeing and hearing.

Voice Of Many Waters
$22.00Add to cartCreating and participating in art are essential ways of discovering and conveying truths by merging the senses with the imagination.

Psalms For A Pilgrim People
$35.95Add to cartThis book is neither a translation nor a paraphrase of the Psalms. Rather, the aim has been to make the Psalms prayable for those who find stumbling blocks in many of them as they have been variously translated into English.

Jim Cotter’s Psalms take today’s realities into account by including reference to issues of concern to us now, while retaining the poetry and beauty of the original Psalms.

Here is a convenient introduction to the unique aspects of interpreting the one-third of the Hebrew Bible that is in poetic form. Numerous are the occasions when a failure to distinguish poetry from prose in the Old Testament has resulted in flawed interpretation. Robert Lowth’s Lectures on the Sacred Poetry of the Hebrews (1753, 1787), marked a turning point of major proportions by focusing on the importance of parallelism of lines. But new studies of the past decade now require significant adjustments to Lowth’s analyses. Interpreting Hebrew Poetry offers an authoritative introduction to this discussion of parallelism, meter and rhythm, and poetic style. It also provides by way of example a poetic analysis of Deuteronomy 32, Isaiah 5:1-7, and Psalm 1. -
7 Last Words Of Christ
$8.99Add to cartSeven times Jesus spoke from the cross, and each of those seven last words still speaks to us today.

The author’s meditations on each of Jesus’ seven last words are accompanied by hymns and poetry that enlarge the possible meanings of each word, and by questions for reflection or discussion. Filled with messages of grace and love, this book is ideal for devotional reading and group study, or for use as a preaching resource.
