Scorned Justice
$16.99Texas Ranger Brody Calhoun is with his parents in west Texas when an unexpected attack injures the brother of Rebecca Morgan, Brody’s high school sweetheart. The local sheriff, a good friend, asks for Brody’s help. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut case.
As Brody digs deeper, he realizes the attack may be related to an organized crime trial Rebecca will be overseeing. With Rebecca’s help, he compiles evidence involving cattle rustling, bribery, and dirty payoffs that shatter the entire community and put Rebecca directly in the line of fire.
Brody expects to protect her. What he never expects is to fall for Rebecca all over again, or for a murder to throw the case wide open. Is Brody’s faith strong enough to withstand not only deep-rooted corruption and cattle rustling, but also love?

Wounded Warrior Wounded Home (Reprinted)
$21.17For every wounded warrior, there is a wounded home–an immediate and extended family and community impacted by their loved one’s war experiences. Every day service members are returning from combat deployments to their families. And every day war comes home with them.
When a combat veteran struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI), every member of the family experiences the effects. Spouses, parents, and children must undergo changes on the home front, a process that resembles the phases of grief. Confusion, hurt, anger, guilt, fatigue, and fear lie behind their brave smiles and squared shoulders.
Wounded Warrior, Wounded Home gives hurting families a look inside the minds and hearts of wounded warriors and guides them in developing their own personal plan for physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness in the wake of war. The authors, one the wife of a career US Navy SEAL and the other a clinical psychologist and Vietnam veteran, speak from their own experiences of living with PTSD and TBI. They also share insights from dozens of families and careful research, offering readers a hope-filled way forward

Efecto – (Spanish)
$14.99Even when they are silent, hard to read, shy, or unexpressive, people are transmitting “something” from their unique and individualized essence.
Even when asleep, quiet, distant, or with their backs turned, people are constantly sharing something from their lives with those around them. Through the simple miracle of continual breathing, we project an image, our internal climate that transcends and reveals our “personal” air. No one knows what to call it, but there it is!
This experiential and personal “breath” is neither heard, seen, nor felt, but you exhale it from within upon people, permeate the atmosphere with it, and even seem to leave your environment soaked in it. It is your marvelous footprint, your very own trademark.
This is El efecto. No one knows where it comes from, but it is always there. It is your indescribable, intangible, fantastic differential that connects you in an exclusive way with others and makes you unique and unrepeatable.
It is this intangible yet ever so real “who knows what” that will draw you through the pages of this fascinating book, El efecto. You will want to devour it in a day to figure out what your effect has been throughout your life.
Aun cuando permanezcan callados, hermeticos, timidos e inexpresivos, todos los individuos transmiten “algo”, desde su esencia particular y unica.
Incluso dormidos, quietos, distantes o de espaldas, siempre infunden parte de sus vidas en las otras personas a su alrededor. Tan solo con el milagro permanente de respirar, proyectan una imagen. Un clima interior que trasciende y revela el “aire” personal. Nadie sabe como llamarlo, pero es evidente que !ahi esta!
Ese “soplo” vivencial y personal, no se oye, ni se ve, ni se siente, pero usted lo exhala desde su interior sobre las personas, lo infunde en el ambiente y hasta parece que lo deja impregnado en su entorno. Es su maravillosa huella. Su marca personal.
Eso es El efecto. Nadie sabe donde le queda, pero ahi esta siempre. Es su diferencial indescriptible, intangible y fantastico, que lo conecta de manera exclusiva con los demas y lo hace unico e irrepetible.
Y es justo ese “no se que” intangible, pero tan real, lo que lo llevara por las paginas de este fascinante libro de El efecto, que querra devorar en un dia, para saber cual ha sido su EFECTO de toda una vida.

Insourcing : Bringing Discipleship Back To The Local Church
$22.99Too many of today’s pastors and leaders mistakenly think that thriving programs, lively worship services, and relevant preaching are adequate for developing people into the spiritual dynamos God desires. In many churches, the primary objective of the church—discipleship of people into mature followers of Jesus—has been ‘outsourced’ to programs and large-scale efforts to train and teach. But is that happening? Are people growing in spiritual depth and missional determination?
Twenty-five years ago, the leaders of Randy Pope’s rapidly growing church took serious stock of their own spiritual development and realized all of them had benefitted from a personal discipleship relationship that had helped them grow in their faith and discover where God was calling them to service. As a church, they decided to make personal discipleship their do-or-die aim: applying one person’s real life to another’s to accomplish something far bigger than that single life. Perimeter calls their approach ‘life-on-life missional discipleship’ and Insourcing tells their story.
Randy Pope writes for church leaders who recognize the value of discipleship and need practical ideas for reorienting church ministries around personal discipleship. Readers will be encouraged that a wide scale personal discipleship program is attainable for any church.

Key Features:Mapping the ethical terrain of an imperiled planet
Convincingly showing how ecojustice relates to economic justice
Rethinking Christian ethics in light of the ecological crisisThe increasingly pressing situation of Planet Earth poses urgent ethical questions for Christians. But, as Cynthia Moe-Lobeda argues, the future of the earth is not simply a matter of protecting species and habitats but of rethinking the very meaning of Christian ethics. The earth crisis cannot be understood apart from the larger human crisis-economic equity, social values, and human purpose are bound up with the planet’s survival. In a sense, she says, the whole earth is a moral community.
Reorienting Christian ethics from its usual anthropocentrism to an ecocentrism entails a new framework that Moe-Lobeda lays out in her first chapters, culminating in a creative rethinking of how it is that we understand morally. With this “moral epistemology” in place, she unfolds her notion of “moral vision” and applies it to the present situation in a full-fledged earth-honoring, justice-seeking Christian ethical stance.

Women Of The Bible (Student/Study Guide)
$10.99This new topical Bible study series brings together authors from different age groups and backgrounds to take readers through a four week study on a specific theme from Scripture. Each session includes a Scripture passage and thought-provoking questions designed to encourage discussion and help readers learn to interpret the Bible and apply it in practical ways. Ideal for small groups, classes, or individuals. In Women of the Bible, pastor and author, James Harnish, identifies the contributions of four remarkable women from Scripture: Deborah, Abigail, Mary Magdalene, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Although the Bible was written in a patriarchal culture in which men get most of the lead roles, the action also moves forward through women-prophets and prostitutes, maidens and matrons, saints and sinners-who play a critical role in the drama of God’s salvation.

Persecuted : The Global Assault On Christians
$16.99A timely journalistic look inside worldwide Christian persecution.
The persecution of Christians is widespread and increasing in many areas. In 2010, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, the gold standard of contemporary religion statistics, concluded that Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world. In December 2010, the Vatican reported the same conclusion. This timely and well-documented book tells this story well, in a journalistic and lively way, punctuated with compelling stories.
Persecuted offers readers an overview of Christian persecution, analyzing patterns of repression, abuse, and violence across the globe. It explores the reasons that specific ideological, religious, and political groups and establishments target Christian believers as enemies. Woven throughout are vivid examples of Christians persecuted and harassed for their faith. These cases illuminate the courage it takes to be a Christian in today’s world. The book provides examples of how the church, including the American church, has successfully diminished or halted repression in other countries, and suggests the steps we can take together in the future.

John
$39.99The gospel of John’s “from above” orientation transforms our human “from below” assumptions and habits. It draws us into union with God and into unity with one another. It communicates who Jesus is, in both intimate and profound dimensions. The book of John shapes Christian identity, invigorates worship, and implants eternal hope. “John’s gospel defies description,” marvels Swartley, professor emeritus at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. “It soars like the eagle, links heaven and earth, and both comforts and convicts the human heart. Its Christology is rich, with a plethora of titles for Jesus-even the divine eternal I AM.”
Though commentaries on the book of John abound, this volume follows the unique Believers Church Bible Commentary Series format, providing sections on The Text in Biblical Context and The Text in the Life of the Church. According to Swartley, this format serves well “the interests of seminary as well as other graduate students, and pastors especially.”

Trust In God
$42.00In this accessible book, David Johnson examines the Christian spiritual life using the Book of Confessions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) as a guide. He demonstrates how the Book of Confessions can help us understand what it means to be a Christian and how one goes about living a Christian life. Johnson uses the rubrics of faith, love, and hope to ground our understanding of spirituality and help us develop disciplines for our spiritual lives. These disciplines include listening and speaking, worship and Sabbath, giving and stewardship, patience and planning, and reconciling. Three appendices give concrete guidelines for engaging in Bible reading and prayer-the two central spiritual disciplines of the Reformed tradition. Johnson’s helpful book invites laity and clergy to participate in the blessings and joys of a Reformed vision of the spiritual life.

NotesAdditional Info
What does it take to have fruitful ministry over the long haul? The stresses of pastoring are well known and can be a match for even the best-prepared, most experienced in ministry–multiple tasks, long hours, taxing responsibilities and, yes, some challenging personalities. Too often the results can be burnout, being run out or just feeling worn out. To find out how pastors can thrive as well as survive, the authors undertook a five-year in-depth research project among working pastors. Here in this ground-breaking book is the distilled wisdom of dozens of pastors who have been on the front lines of ministry. We hear from them what works, what doesn’t and what distinctive issues people in ministry face. The authors uncover five key themes that promote healthy, sustainable ministry that lasts–spiritual formation, self-care, emotional and cultural intelligence, marriage and family, leadership and management. These themes are unpacked from the vantage point of ministry on the ground. Questions for personal evaluation and reflection are included throughout the book to bring home the significance of each section. This is the perfect companion for a peer cohort of pastors to read together. It can also be of value to church boards and others who want to better understand how to help sustain their pastors in ministry. In short, this is a book pastors can’t live without.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Transformed Leadership : The Role Of Spiritual Discipline In Leadership Dev
$21.23The need of the church in America today is holiness. When lives are transformed, wholeness and holiness result. Scripture provides the basis for transformation to take place, and addressing this must include spiritual disciplines. Prayer, confession, Bible study and other spiritual disciplines need to be practiced to build every believer s relationship with God and grow into His likeness. In this way, individuals and church leaders each become more effective in their spiritual lives. The more disciplines are practiced, the more effective leadership marks become apparent among the body of believers. As a result, the church becomes healthier. When its leaders are transformed, the whole church benefits.
This book intentionally addresses four groups in the church. First, all people attending church will be challenged to practice spiritual disciplines. It will also challenge those who are training for Christian leadership, as well as pulpit committees, to stress that spiritual disciplines need to be found in a Christian leader. Finally, pastors will be challenged to personally incorporate spiritual disciplines into daily life to an even greater degree than before and urge the people they shepherd to do the same. Spiritual disciplines supply the supportive structure for the transformation of Romans 12:1-2 to take place.More than ever before, leaders are searching for answers in order to move the church in the right direction. Short-term success appears to be more popular among God s people than long-term effectiveness. The practice of spiritual disciplines will build and deepen spiritual lives. Core spiritual disciplines are foundational to build effective leadership marks in the lives of believers.
Gary s desire in ministry is to be out of work to train and develop spiritual leaders in the church who can do the work of the ministry. Paul s final words to the elders in Ephesus were, Guard yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood (Acts 20:28). He then followed up with his benediction; Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace. Feeding on the Word and maintaining an intimate, trusting relationship with God are the keys that Gary emphasizes in this fine book. As my pastor, I have often heard him comment, That s not a hill worth dying on. There are many projects and programs that could be pushed in the church some good, most not worth dying

Miracles Of Francis Xavier
$11.76This book is an inspiring and historical look at the amazing life of Francis Xavier, missionary and pioneer to India, Sri Lanka, Malacca, Indonesia, the Islands of the Philippines and Japan. which includes a challenge to us to return to the supernatural ministry of Christ as outworked in ordinary men and women of God. In the brief years between 1541 and his death in 1552 Francis saw hundreds of thousands turn to Jesus; the miracles that followed his preaching of the gospel, included twenty eight people recorded as being raised from the dead and countless healings, and unusual signs and wonders, just like the book of Acts. King John 3rd of Portugal was the sender who mostly financed Francis mission, Francis was the one who went and encouraged countless hundreds of others to do the same. My hope is that this book will inspire your heart to the supernatural mission of the body of Christ, either as someone who goes, or as someone who sends. There are still millions who wait for the next Francis Xavier and you carry the same Holy Spirit as Francis did. May this book inspire you in your supernatural journey with Christ.

Clean And Unclean
$16.86Eating is a common part of our lives. Many of us do not realize that we can glorify God’s name every time we eat. The dietary commandments on clean and unclean animals in Leviticus 11 give us such an opportunity. Some have said that Jesus, Peter, and Paul did away with these commandments. This book will help you understand how Jesus, Peter, and even Paul upheld this vital teaching from God’s word. Paul instructs us in II Corinthians 6:17 to touch no unclean thing. Peter also directs us to the dietary laws in his first letter. You will discover the spiritual significance of the dietary laws. You will learn how obedience to them will draw you closer to your Savior and increase the fire of the Holy Spirit in your life!

Gente Comun Perdidos Y Hallado – (Spanish)
$15.99Gente Comun. Maybe you heard their names in a childhood Sunday school class. They’re not often the champions or the go-to sermon illustrations. They probably didn’t stand at the foot of the cross or even hang next to Jesus on one of their own. But they pepper the pages of the Bible, reminding us that we’re not alone.
Just like you and me, these ordinary people stumbled and struggled. They faced their own sin and came face to face with a God who not only wipes it away, but also makes the common extraordinary. They discovered that an encounter with the living God changes everything.
Dive into the lives of more than twenty of the Bible’s most compelling characters through inspirational selections from the writings of bestselling author Max Lucado. An ideal companion volume to Gente Comun. This book features a whole new cast and the encouragement from their stories.
Gente Comun. Quiza escuchaste sus nombres en la Escuela Dominical durante la infancia. No siempre son los campeones o estan en las ilustraciones del sermon. Tal vez no estuvieron al pie de la cruz ni fueron suspendidos en su propia cruz junto a Jesus, pero salpican las paginas de la Biblia, recordandonos que no estamos solos.
Como tu y como yo, eran personas comunes y corrientes que cometian errores y afrontaban dificultades. Enfrentaron su propio pecado y se encontraron cara a cara con Dios, quien no solo limpia los pecados, sino que convierte aquello comun y corriente en extraordinario. Descubrieron que todo cambia al encontrarse con el Dios viviente.
Profundiza en la vida de mas de veinte personajes biblicos sumamente fascinantes, a traves de una inspiradora seleccion de las obras del exitoso autor Max Lucado. Este tomo es el complemento ideal para el libro Gente Comun. Incluye nuevos personajes y sus motivadoras historias.

Love Is : 6 Lessons On What Love Looks Like
$14.99What is love? This six-week Bible study helps teen girls understand what true love looks like. By focusing on the life of Jesus, these girls will come to understand that Love is, first and foremost, a Someone. The more we understand Jesus, the more we understand God’s original intent behind this overused, abused, and muddled word: love.
Each week girls will do an in-depth study of one of Jesus’ relationships described in the Bible. By examining the way Jesus interacted with others, they will see the perfect example of love. Through four repetitive phases-read, realize, respond, and retain-teen girls will learn a method of studying the Bible that they can apply to any Scripture passage and that will motivate them to read more frequently and independently in the future. By analyzing the Bible stories, each girl will in turn be able to analyze her own relationships to see if they are based on God’s idea of love, and will walk away with a deeper understanding of the love relationship God seeks to have with her.

Does Gods all-encompassing will restrict our freedom? Does Gods ownership and mastery over us diminish our dignity? The fear that God is a threat to our freedom and dignity goes far back in Western thought. Such suspicion remains with us today in our so-called secular society. In such a context any talk of God tends to provoke responses that range from defiance to subservience to indifference. How did Western culture come to this place? What impact does this social and intellectual environment have on those who claim to believe in God or more specifically in the Christian God of the Bible? Professor of religion Ron Highfield traces out the development of Western thought that has led us our current frame of mind from Plato, Augustine and Descartes through Locke, Kant, Blake Bentham, Hegel, Nietzsche–all the way down to Charles Taylor’s landmark work Sources of the Self. At the heart of the issue is the modern notion of the autonomous self and the inevitable crisis it provokes for a view of human identity, freedom and dignity found in God. Can the modern self really secure its own freedom, dignity and happiness? What alternative do we have? Highfield makes pertinent use of trinitarian theology to show how genuine Christian faith responds to this challenge by directing us to a God who is not in competition with his human creations, but rather who provides us with what we seek but could never give ourselves. God, Freedom and Human Dignity is essential reading for Christian students who are interested in the debates around secularism, modernity and identity formation.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Deuteronomy : A Commentary
$89.99This commentary is intended for a broad readership wanting to better know and understand this Pentateuchal book that has come to occupy such a prominent place in Judaism and Christianity. For Jews Deuteronomy contains the Decalogue and the Shema — “Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one” (6:4) — supplemented by a code of primal legislation. Deuteronomy is much cited in the New Testament and has come to occupy an important place in the life and doctrine of the Christian church. It lifts up important wisdom themes such as humane treatment and benevolence to the poor and needy and is rich in theology, calling repeatedly on Israel to reject other gods and worship the Lord alone as holy. Besides making use of language, archaeology, and comparative Near Eastern material, Jack Lundbom’s commentary employs rhetorical criticism in explicating the biblical text. He also cites later Jewish interpretation of the book of Deuteronomy and makes numerous New Testament connections. An appendix contains all references to Deuteronomy in the New Testament.

Guardian (Reprinted)

Jodi takes the preschooler home with her, intending to find out where she belongs. But Jodi is mystified when no one seems to know of a missing child, and the girl herself is no help, since she can’t speak a word of English. It’s as if the child appeared out of nowhere.

Swept Away (Reprinted)
$18.75Swept away when her wagon train attempts a difficult river crossing, Ruthy MacNeil isn’t all that upset at being separated from the family who raised her. All they’ve ever done is work her to the bone. She prayed for a chance to get away, and then came the raging flood. Alive but disoriented, she’s rescued by Luke Stone…so unfortunately, there are more chances to die in her immediate future.
Luke is heading home to reclaim the ranch stolen from his family. But the men who killed his father are working hard to ensure Luke doesn’t make it alive. He has no choice but to keep moving. Still, he can’t just abandon Ruthy, so she’ll have to come along.
His friends–a ragtag group of former Civil War soldiers–take a fast interest in the pretty gal. Luke thinks that’s rather rude–he’s the one who found her. And the more time he spends around the hard-working young woman who is a mighty good cook, the more he finds himself thinking beyond revenge and toward a different future. For the first time in a long time, Luke is tempted to turn from his destructive path and be swept away by love.

Leading The Way Through Galatians
$18.73It’s tempting for Christians to think they can experience God’s life and power through church attendance, religious symbols and rituals, and good deeds. But as the book of Galatians makes clear, religion means nothing unless believers are connected to the source of God’s life and power.
In Leading the Way Through Galatians, Michael Youssef applies Paul’s message to the churches in Galatia to the challenge of living as authentic Christians in the twenty-first century. The message of the Gospel is a message of freedom from the law, freedom from bondage to sin, freedom from fear, freedom from judgment, and freedom from the need to perform and please others.
Through stories and contemporary insights, the timeless truths of Galatians will take on a new and powerful meaning as today’s readers learn to apply this liberating message to everyday life and everyday situations.
