Spacious Heart : Room For Spiritual Awakening
$16.99Why do people, including Christians, feel empty, estranged and cynical?
Many of us have tired of the pat answers that the church and religion have provided about our questions about faith and meaning in life. We know there’s more-and we stand on the cusp of spiritual awakening, longing to reshape our connection with God.
In the tradition of Ronald Rolheiser’s The Holy Longing, Don Clymer and Sharon Clymer Landis (brother and sister, both spiritual directors and retreat leaders) take modern spirituality and turn it on its head to flesh out a Christian spiritualty of emptying oneself. How can I know God more fully? What does it mean to be a true servant walking closely with God: brutally honest with oneself, and true to Christ? Through riveting stories and text grounded in scripture, the book speaks to the deep cynicism of soul and despair that grip so many in this age.
Anyone wanting to become more loving, in touch with feelings, friends and family will find hope and direction in this easy-to-read book on the spiritual journey. We are all hungry for a full-flavored life, yet we ignore our deepest soul and quiet our cravings with more of everything. How does one embrace a spiritually simple life-gracious, accepting and fulfilling?

Who Was Jesus
$20.99Originally published in 1993 and reprinted numerous times, N. T. Wright’s Who Was Jesus? considers many questions raised by three controversial books about Jesus: Barbara Thiering’s Jesus the Man, A. N. Wilson’s Jesus: A Life, and John Shelby Spong’s Born of a Woman. While Wright agrees with those authors that the real, historical Jesus has many surprises in store for institutional Christianity, he also presents solid reasons for discounting their arguments, claiming that they “fail to reach anything like the answer” as to who Jesus really was.Written from the standpoint of professional biblical scholarship yet assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Who Was Jesus? shows convincingly that much can be gained from a rigorous historical assessment of what the Gospels say about Jesus. This is a book to engage skeptics and believers alike.

Crown And The Fire
$20.99This reissue of a long-popular book contains thirteen powerful meditations and sermons challenging readers to reassess their own responses to Jesus’ death, his resurrection, and the continuing influence of his Spirit on those who follow him today.In Part One Wright considers not the customary seven last words that Jesus spoke from the cross but, rather, seven words that various people spoke to the cross — people like Mary and the Roman centurion, who witnessed the crucifixion, and Pontius Pilate, who helped to instigate it. Part Two contains five sermons and one biblical exposition on such themes as the meaning of the resurrection, the call of God, and the nature of the presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Distance In Preaching
$22.99Over the last decade in his preaching classes, Michael Brothers has noticed a dramatic change in his students’ responses to preaching: as listeners they want not so much to be drawn in to a preached sermon as to be given room for their own interpretations and experiences.
In Distance in Preaching Brothers argues that critical and aesthetic distance as a hermeneutical tool is vital to hearing the gospel today and should be intentionally employed in sermon construction and delivery. Brothers explains this “distance” in the field of homiletics, equips teachers and students of preaching to evaluate the function of distance in sermons, and encourages preachers to practice the use of distance in their preaching. Insights gained from this book will give preachers greater room to speak the gospel so that their listeners get optimal space to hear the preached word.

2 Views On The Doctrine Of The Trinity
$24.98The doctrine of the Trinity stands front and center of the Christian faith and its articulation. After a sustained drought of trinitarian engagement, the doctrine of the Trinity has increasingly resurged to the forefront of Evangelical confession. The second half of the twentieth century, however, saw a different kind of trinitarian theology developing, giving way to what has commonly been referred to as the ‘social Trinity.’ Social—or better, relational—trinitarianism has garnered a steady reaction from those holding to a classical doctrine of the Trinity, prompting a more careful and thorough re-reading of sources and bringing about not only a much more coherent view of early trinitarian development but also a strong critique of relational trinitarian offerings. Yet confusion remains. As Evangelicals get better at articulating the doctrine of the Trinity, and as the current and next generation of believers in various Christian traditions seek to be more trinitarian, the way forward for trinitarian theology has to choose between the relational and classical model, both being legitimate options. In this volume, leading contributors—one evangelical and one mainline/catholic representing each view—establish their models and approaches to the doctrine of the Trinity, each highlighting the strengths of his view in order to argue how it best reflects the orthodox perspective. In order to facilitate a genuine debate and to make sure that the key issues are teased out, each contributor addresses the same questions regarding their trinitarian methodology, doctrine, and its implications. Contributors include: Stephen R. Holmes; Paul D. Molnar; Thomas H. McCall; and Paul S. Fiddes.

Never Ever Give Up
$19.99It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the ‘Joy Factory’ (originally their garage) making JoyJars—packages filled with toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon thousands of JoyJars being distributed across the United States and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have received JoyJars, and they continue shipping each week to kids in over 200 children’s hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses. Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Join the movement at www.negu.org.

Magnolia Market
$17.99Two very different women join forces to transform a rundown market in a small Louisiana town into a popular gathering spot. But desperation—not dreams—fuels Avery and Trish’s journey. When socialite Avery Saucier and blue-collar widow Trish Manning literally run into each other at the corner of Trumpet and Vine, a less-than-friendly relationship develops. But they have more in common than they want to admit: both have lost their husbands—one to divorce, the other to a heart attack—and both have lost their livelihoods. With hostility, desperation, and a budget tighter than Avery’s skinny jeans, the women decide to go into business together selling mouth-watering biscuits from a rundown store across the street from the popular Sweet Olive Folk Art Gallery. With a gift for baking and making people feel welcome, they transform their Magnolia Market into a regionally famous ‘biscuit boutique.’ As Avery and Trish become increasingly involved in the life of the Trumpet and Vine community, they find themselves becoming matchmakers for the local clientele. But before she realizes it, Avery herself may be the one to have found her perfect match.

Jesus Is The Question
$18.99Contrary to some common assumptions, Jesus is not the ultimate Answer Man, but more like the Great Questioner. In the Gospels Jesus asks many more questions than he answers. To be precise, Jesus asks 307 questions. He is asked 183 of which he only answers 3. Asking questions was central to Jesus’ life and teachings. In fact, for every question he answers directly he asks-literally-a hundred. Jesus is the Question considers the questions Jesus asks-what they tell us about Jesus and, more important, what our responses might say about what it means to follow Him. Through Jesus’ questions, he modeled the struggle, the wondering, the thinking it through that helps us draw closer to God and better understand, not just the answer, but ourselves, our process and ultimately why questions are among Jesus’ most profound gifts for a life of faith. A game-changer of a book.

Faith Speaking Understanding
$42.00In this volume, highly esteemed scholar Kevin Vanhoozer introduces readers to a way of thinking about Christian theology that takes the work he began in the groundbreaking 2005 book, The Drama of Doctrine, to its next level. Vanhoozer argues that theology is not merely a set of cognitive beliefs, but is also something we do that involves speech and action alike. He uses a theatrical model to explain the ways in which doctrine shapes Christian understanding and forms disciples. The church, Vanhoozer posits, is the preeminent theater where the gospel is “performed,” with doctrine directing this performance. Doctrines are not simply truths to be stored, shelved, and stacked, but indications and directions to be followed, practiced, and enacted. In “performing” doctrine, Christians are shaped into active disciples of Jesus Christ. He goes on to examine the state of the church in today’s world and explores how disciples can do or perform doctrine. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Faith Speaking Understanding sets forth a compelling vision of what the church is and what it should be doing, and demonstrates the importance of Christian doctrine for this mission.

Go Small : Because God Doesnt Care About Your Status Size Or Success
$15.99You’ve heard the saying, “Go big or go home.” If you aren’t going to swing for the fences, you might as well not even step up to the plate. Perhaps you have already quit and have resigned yourself to a life of desperate futility lived punching a time-clock at work before heading to a night in front of your TV or your smartphone. Maybe you feel a constant, ever-present sort of disappointment, because no matter how big you go, no matter how radical you try to be in your endeavors, it’s just never enough. Either way, wherever you are on the spectrum, Craig Gross wants to give you permission to breathe. To relax. To find contentment instead of comfort. He wants to show you the miraculous world of the ordinary. Of the little things. Of the small. “The longer I’m around,” says Gross, “the more I’ve become convinced that God doesn’t really care about our “big” thing.” God isn’t interested in scoring titles or championships or Most Valuable Player awards. He doesn’t want your actions or your efforts or your supposed bigness. He just wants you. All of you.
He wants to take every single action, every interaction, every positive word spoken, every negative word held back, every kind gesture, every diligent workday, every soccer practice, every evening spent over a hot stove preparing a meal for your family, every quiet moment in between waking up and getting out of bed- all of it. He wants to take all of it and turn it into something extraordinary for His glory, defined by His terms.

Pandoras Box Opened
$45.99Eminently informed assessment of a major modern method of biblical interpretation
For many, the historical-critical method has released a host of threats to Christian faith and confession. In Pandora’s Box Opened, however, Roy Harrisville argues that despite the evils brought upon biblical interpretation by the historical-critical method, there is still hope for it as a discipline.
Harrisville begins by describing the emergence and use of the historical-critical method. He then attends to the malaise that has come over the method, which he says still persists. Finally, Harrisville commends the historical-critical method, though shorn of its arrogance. He claims that the method and all its users comprise a “Pandora’s Box” that, when opened, releases “a myriad other pains,” but hope still remains.

5th Gospel
$22.48“There are five Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John…and the Christian. But most people never read the first four.”
There are any number of books on how to do evangelism. This book is different–it’s an invitation to actually live out the message of the gospel. Jesus’s original intention was for ordinary people like you and me to live lives that point others to the only Person who can give them hope for this life as well as the next–to visibly display the Good News of salvation through the Messiah and Redeemer of humankind.
But many Christ followers today are either ridden with guilt for not telling others about Jesus or so silent that no one really knows they’re a Christian. The Fifth Gospel will help you wrestle with the critical issues involved in living out your faith in front of a watching and sometimes not-so-friendly world.
Isn’t it time to become a witness for the One you profess to love? Prepare yourself to represent your Savior well and to discover a new way to do evangelism. Get ready for God to unleash the gospel through you!

For The Sake Of The Bride
$15.99The gown of the Bride of Christ is being shredded by sibling rivalry within the Christian community. The Church’s life is weakened and its witness compromised. This is nowhere more evident than the issue of homosexuality. Dr. Steve Harper laments this sad state of affairs and offers a way of love through the dilemma. His pastoral spirit and practical counsel offer guidance and hope for the future. “A dark picture is emerging-a contentiousness between professing Christians and a persecution of the homosexual community by professing Christians. In the season of Lent, the Holy Spirit broke my heart one morning by speaking into it these words, “My Bride, the Church, is being abused. Her gown is being torn to shreds by siblings who are trying to end up with the biggest piece of the cloth, and who would rather expose her nakedness than give up the fight. Enough is enough! “I was stunned- so much so that I kept the experience to myself. I’m old enough to know the difference between a passing feeling and a sacred impression.” Excerpted from the introduction.
