Hidden Heroes : Transforming An Ordinary Life Into An Extraordinary Adventu
$31.23
Have you ever seen a real hero? Not the kind on television or in the movies, but the quiet kind of individual who changes lives without people even noticing. These hidden heroes dwell on the streets of compassion and on the bridges of hope. They live in the hearts of those who have love for the unlovely and a right word when everyone else is silent. Cities survive, communities continue, and families stay together because of these hidden heroes who rush in when everyone else runs out. Larry Thompson believes we all have a hero hidden inside of us.What can we learn from the hidden heroes of the Bible? What can we find out about the hero hidden inside of our own hearts? “We encounter heroes hidden in every area of life-business, community, sports. What makes someone a hero? What causes an individual to strive beyond the everyday expectations and excel? In this book, my friend Larry Thompson uncovers the secrets of Hidden Heroes from ages ago and then applies a very contemporary lesson for success in this new century.” -H.WAYNE HUIZENGA Entrepreneur and President, Huizenga Holdings, Inc. “Hidden Heroes makes me remember people that have been very important to me in my 33-year career as a head coach in the National Football League. These are people you can count on who want nothing back in return. They make as much of a contribution as those who are recognized as stars. It’s important that we find time to praise their legacy.” -DON F. SHULA Winningest Coach in the NFL (Head Coach,Miami Dolphins, 1970-1995)

God Of All Things
$19.99Abstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
