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.

Church History In Plain Language
$39.99Over 330,000 copies sold. This is the story of the church for today’s readers.
Bruce Shelley’s classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the twenty-first century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking readers from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells his readers a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history. Covering recent events, this book also:
*Details the rapid growth of evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity in the southern hemisphere*Addresses the decline in traditional mainline denominations
*Examines the influence of technology on the spread of the gospel
*Discusses how Christianity intersects with other religions in countries all over the world
For this fifth edition, Marshall Shelley brought together a team of historians, historical theologians, and editors to revise and update this father’s classic text. The new edition adds important stories of the development of Christianity in Asia, India, and Africa, both in the early church as well as in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It also highlights the stories of women and non-Europeans who significantly influenced the development of Christianity but whose contributions are often overlooked in previous overviews of church history.
This concise book provides an easy-to-read guide to church history with intellectual substance. The new edition of Church History in Plain Language promises to set a new standard for readable church history.

Jesus Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), bestselling author Max Lucado explores the life and character of Jesus, helping participants become more familiar with the man at the center of the greatest story ever told. As Max explains in this study, for thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. He got colds. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached.
To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarnation. Clean up the manure from around the manger. Wipe the sweat out of his eyes. Pretend he never snored or hit his thumb with a hammer. There is something about keeping Jesus divine that keeps him distant, packaged, and predictable.
But we have to remember that by Jesus becoming human, God made it possible for us to see him and hear his voice. If we want to know what matters to God, all we need to do is look in the Bible to see what matters to Jesus. If we want to know what God is doing in our world, we need only ponder the words of Jesus. By learning more about the person Jesus was and is, we come to understand more clearly the people we were created to be.
Jesus will inspire group members to spend time at the foot of the cross and search the heart of the one who would rather die for them than live without them.
Designed for use with the Jesus Video Study (sold separately).
