Finding Our Way Again
$18.99Why have certain spiritual disciplines been in use for centuries, and why are they so important?
It is questionable if one can ever be exactly the same person waking up on two consecutive days. How are spiritual sojourners to cope with the constant change? Many are beginning to explore the ancient Christian spiritual practices, such as fixed-hour prayer, fasting and sincere observance of the Sabbath. What is causing this hunger for deeper spirituality?
Brian McLaren guides us on this quest for an explanation of these spiritual practices, many of which go all the way back to Abraham and the establishment of Israel. In the midst of contemporary Christianity, we discover the beauty of these disciplines and the transformation through Christ that each can provide.
Includes foreword by Phyllis Tickle and leads into seven additional titles, The Ancient Practices, a classic series featuring some of the leading writers on spirituality in the world today.

Mission Of The Holy Spirit
$23.68This book, The Mission of the Holy Spirit, grew out of a series of messages given by Pastor Wade Graber in 1995.

The message of the book is quite simple. You are the mission field of God the Holy Spirit. He has numerous things He wants to do in your life that affect your present and your eternity. The Holy Spirit wants to transform you into Christ’s image and glorify the Father and the Son. This book and the accompanying songs require uninterrupted worship and meditation in order to experience the richest reality of the Holy Spirit.

New Monasticism As Fresh Expression Of Church
$27.00The combination of Fresh Expressions and the explosion of interest in monastic spirituality is resulting in the emergence of new monastic communities inspired by historic patterns of religious life, but reframed for the contemporary world. This worldwide movement is seen as a radical expression of ecclesial community and was named in Mission Shaped Church as one of the leading new forms of church that would help people reconnect with Christianity. aaA new monastic community may be a dispersed group of families and individuals meeting to share meals and worship, it might be a group connected virtually; it might be a youth group exploring monastic spirituality. In this book, leaders of traditional religious communities and emerging ‘new monastic’ communities tell their stories and reflect on how an ancient expression of being church is inspiring and shaping a very new one.aaIncluded are many well-known contributors: Graham Cray, Tom Sine, Shane Claiborne, Ray Simpson, Abbot Stuart Burns and others exploring intentional liv

7 Years Of Silence The Book
$19.36Jacqueline Jackson loves the Lord and has a burning desire to please Him. She has worked in the health care field for more than fifteen years. She feels called to evangelize those whom God puts in proximity to her. Married for more than twenty years to the late Elder Leonard Jackson Sr., she is both a mother and a grandmother. She has sat on multiple planning committees and consumer advisory boards, and for the past seven years has been a planning committee member of a faith community outreach project sponsored by the state health department called On Common Ground.
While she was on bed rest one day, she was watching a TV program about feeding children in Africa. The program showed babies who were abandoned by parents infected with the HIV virus. The organization that sponsored the show had established houses for the abandoned babies called abandoned baby centers (ABCs). On the program, people talked about how the church kept silent concerning HIV/AIDS. As I lay in bed saddened by the babies I saw, I felt an indignation rise up inside of me. With a very pompous attitude, I muttered under my breath, “God, it’s a shame how the church has kept silent regarding this subject.” The Lord quickly replied, “Yes, you have remained silent for seven years.”
Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

Countdown To The Last Day
$34.98Why does God mention the catching of 153 Great Fish in His Word, the Bible?
* Does the storm of Acts 27, in which 276 men were saved, show the duration of the Great Tribulation period of 8,400 days (276 months)?
* How does the example of Elijah calling fire down from Heaven upon the 2/3 (of the 153 men) relate to the 153 days of the End?
* Is the 153 days from May 21, 2011 to October 21, 2011 significant, since it ends on the Last Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, that Great Day?
* Will the houses of worship experience an overthrow similar to Christ expelling the moneychangers from the temple; is the overthrow of Sodom related to the overthrow of the fallen houses of worship?
* What comes forth from the bottomless pit during the final five months of history according to Revelation 9?
* Does God’s covenant with Day and Night allow salvation to continue to the last day?
* Since 1,000 years are as a day with the Lord, is the 7,000th anniversary of the flood in the year 2011 significant?
* What did the waters of Noah’s flood represent as they increased greatly and prevailed for 150 days?
* Why are the Biblical numbers 17, 19, 21, 23, 37, 42, 51, 84, 153 & 276 so important during the time of Great Tribulation and after?
* Is May 21, 2011 or October 21, 2011 the most likely time of the rapture?
* Will Satan (the Northern) be removed before the final 153 days?Are we all months away from the greatest event in human history? Yes, we are at the precipice of the great day, in which Christ is coming in power and great glory! The final 153 days of 2011 A.D. are May 21, 2011-October 21, 2011!

Irrevocable Purpose Of A Woman In Life
$16.86This book is a wake-up call to all who have decided to reject the basic truth of God’s Word because of the tradition they have adopted, rendering the Word of God about marriage less effective. His Word says a man will definitely need a helper on his journey through life. The only precise and adequate helper the almighty God has provided is the precious woman; no other choice is appropriate. If you do choose a different helper, it is against God’s principle of life. A life without a woman is incomplete.

Greatest Commandment : Matthew 22:31
$23.93The book is titled “The Greatest Commandment”, since it is the most important point of the book. (John 5:41-42) If you Love the Lord your God with all your Heart, Mind, Soul, then why is there a second law? The second law really displays the same principles as the first. This is why the first commandment is the greatest or most clear description of what God calls us to do. God is a Creator, and the law is a representation of how he builds. How do you Love the Lord your God with all your Soul, Heart, and Mind? Master the second law and the first law will become clearer.
The photo on the cover is symbolic to the laws by which we are governed, just like scriptures state that the law is the cornerstone of government. Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. (Ephesians 2:19-20) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. (Isaiah 9:6)

Sacred Journey : The Ancient Practices
$18.99Have Christians rejected pilgrimage?
The Israelites knew it. David knew it. The writer of Hebrews knew it. John Bunyan knew it. “Blessed are those whose strength is in You. They have set their hearts on pilgrimage.” (Psalm 84:5) We are strangers and pilgrims here. We’re passing through this world on a sacred journey to somewhere else. Charles Foster explores the approaching of each day as a pilgrimage-a chance to move one step closer to our ultimate goal and to even now experience tastes of that goal through prayerful awareness, study, and meditation.
Culling from his many journeys across the globe, Foster exhibits the very definition of pilgrimage: a journey to the most holy locations of our faith. This is at once both internal and external, and the author shows us how the two intersect.
A best-selling author and barrister in Oxford, Foster has spent much of his life testing the limits of human and spiritual endurance.

Tithing : Test Me In This
$12.99Stories of people who live a generous and happy life (and why you’ll want to live that way too.)
Journalist Douglas LeBlanc travels the nation to talk with believers whose lives have been enriched by the ancient spiritual discipline of tithing. He discovers people along the way who do not understand the practice as an onerous law but as God’s call to a life of generosity and compassion. The effect on their lives is dramatic.
LeBlanc talks with a variety of believers-from a pastor in the south side of Chicago to progressive Episcopalians, from an Orthodox rabbi to an Eastern Orthodox priest and his wife. By holding their gifts with open hands, they are drawn deeper into a life of joy and sharing that begins in the very heart of God.

Liturgical Year : The Spiraling Adventure Of The Spiritual Life
$18.99A journey of the soul through the map of Christian time.The liturgical year, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and carrying through the following November, is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ.
What may at first seem to be simply an arbitrary arrangement of ancient holy days, or liturgical seasons, this book explains their essential relationship to one another and their ongoing meaning to us today. It is an excursion into life from the Christian perspective, from the viewpoint of those who set out not only to follow Jesus but to live and think as Jesus did.
And it proposes to help us to year after year immerse ourselves into the sense and substance of the Christian life until, eventually, we become what we say we are-followers of Jesus all the way to the heart of God. It is an adventure in human growth; it is an exercise in spiritual ripening.

Barmen Theses Then And Now
$19.99Applies a bold Christian stand against Nazi thinking to the issues of today
In 1934, the German Protestant Church faced strong attempts by Hitler’s Nazi regime to bring it into line with anti-Semitic and decidedly unbiblical ways of thinking. In defiant response, leaders in the church adopted the Barmen Declaration. This bold statement of dissent, grounded in the authority of Scripture, has become a powerful model for the contemporary confession of the Christian faith against modern forms of skepticism and unbelief.
Eberhard Busch here demonstrates to a new generation how the decisions of the German Protestant Church during a specific time of crisis can guide Christians today. He interprets each of the six theses in its original context – Nazi Germany – and then applies them to the cultural and political challenges facing Christianity in our time.

Sacrifice Of Africa
$24.99Displays the power of Christianity to unleash true political transformation in Africa
Christianity is rapidly expanding in Africa – but so also are the vexing realities of war, civil unrest, corruption and violence. What are the connections between these two faces of Africa? Can Christianity become the much-needed social force for a new future in Africa? How would such a future come about, and what would it look like?
These questions lie at the heart of The Sacrifice of Africa by Emmanuel Katongole. A Catholic priest from Uganda, born in 1960, who lived through the reign of Idi Amin and who has seen firsthand the problems that ravage his home country and its neighbors, Katonogole argues that recurring civil war, violence, corruption and instability are wired within the imaginative landscape of modern Africa, are set within the founding narratives of Africa’s inception into the modern world through colonialism and its successor institution, nation-state politics.
In the face of these entrenched political imaginations, the most critical social challenge is one of “daring to invent” the future through new foundational narratives that reflect and nurture a fresh, different vision for African politics and social life. This is the primary political difference that Christianity can make in Africa.
The stories of three African Christian leaders and their work – Bishop Paride Taban and the Holy Trinity Peace Village in Southern Sudan; Angelina Atyam in Uganda and the Concerned Parents Association in Uganda; and Maggie Barankitse and Maison Shalom in Burundi – cap off Katongole’s inspiring vision of hope for Africa.

Show And Tell Cycle A
$18.68In each of Sunday’s assigned lectionary readings — The First, Second, and Gospel lessons — we are invited to view the glorious narrative of scripture through three different, yet harmonious, perspectives. In the first reading, the congregation returns to the heritage of our faith as described in the Old Testament, as well as in the New Testament book of Acts. We travel with the children of Israel as they take their first steps in faith, reliving the highs and lows of that journey with them. Through studying this part of scripture, we can see our own journey of faith played out by an entire nation.
Show-and-Tell guides us through some of the earliest accounts in the Bible in Genesis and Exodus, as well as the prophetic words of Isaiah and Ezekiel. During the Easter season, the first readings also explore the beginnings of Christianity as recounted in Acts. By taking us back to the beginning, Dr. Everett offers insight and encouragement into how we can live out our faith today.

3 Views On The Rapture
$22.99The rapture, or the belief that, at some point, Jesus’ living followers will join him forever while others do not, is an important but contested doctrine among evangelicals. Scholars generally hold one of three perspectives on the timing of and circumstances surrounding the rapture, all of which are presented in Three Views on the Rapture. The recent prominence of a Pre-Wrath understanding of the rapture calls for a fresh examination of this important but contested Christian belief. Alan D. Hultberg (PhD, Trinity International University and professor of New Testament at Talbot School of Theology) explains the Pre-Wrath view; Craig Blaising (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary and president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) defends the Pre-Tribulation view; and Douglas Moo (PhD, University of St. Andrews and professor of New Testament at Wheaton College) sets forth the Post-Tribulation view. Each author provides a substantive explanation of his position, which is critiqued by the other two authors. A thorough introduction gives a historical overview of the doctrine of the rapture and its effects on the church. The interactive and fair-minded format of the Counterpoints series allows readers to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions.

Sabbath : The Ancient Practices
$19.99To rest does not mean to cease all activity.
Bestselling author Dan Allender presents an insightful and fascinating look at the origins and purpose of Sabbath. Serving as volume three in The Ancient Practices series, Sabbath examines the key issues of this oft-misunderstood day of the week.
This “day of delight” as instituted by God has become a dirge for millions of believers. For many, it is simply a break from the busyness of the work week. So, what keeps us from properly understanding, sanctifying, and celebrating this important day? Allender looks at not only the history of this discipline, going all the way back to ancient Israel, but also at the modern manifestations and misunderstandings of its practice. Allender bases his premise on the Hebrew word for rest, Menuha, which is best translated as “joyous repose, tranquility, or delight.” It is through this lens that he resurrects this lost definition of what it really means to rest.A volume in the eight book classic series, The Ancient Practices, with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.

Commentaries On Genesis 1-3
$72.99The church fathers displayed considerable interest in the early chapters of Genesis, and often wrote detailed commentaries or preached series of homilies on the Hexameron–the Six Days of Creation–among them Eustathius of Antioch, Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Ambrose, John Chrysostom and Augustine. This volume of Ancient Christian Texts offers a first-time English translation of Severian of Gabala’s In cosmogoniam and a fresh translation of a portion of Bede the Venerable’s Libri quatuor in principium Genesis. Severian, bishop of Gabala in Syria, who early on was a friend of John Chrysostom, later turned against him and opposed him at the Synod of Oak in 403. Though displaying his own strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies, Severian still represents the so-called Antiochene school with its preference for literal over allegorical interpretation of texts. The text derives from the critical edition found in Clavis patrum graecorum and has been ably translated with explanatory notes by Robert C. Hill. The commentary from Bede the Venerable derives from Book I of his four-book commentary on Genesis from the account of creation to the casting out of Ishmael. Bede was a polymath–teacher, computist, exegete, historian–and one of the foremost scholars from Anglo-Saxon England. As a teacher, Bede strove to hand on the tradition of the church in a form easily understood by those who might not be well educated. These early chapters in Genesis provided teaching on creation, human origins, sin and redemption. The text deriving from Corpus Christianorum Latina is ably translated with explanatory notes by Carmen Hardin.

Story Of Christianity 2
$46.65THE STORY OF CHRISTIANITY, VOLUME 2, is an informative, interesting, and consistently readable narrative history. Beginning with the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, this second volume continues narrative history to the present. Historian Justo Gonzalez brings to life the people, dramatic events, and shaping ideas of Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy during this period, keynoting crucial theological developments while providing fresh understanding of the social, political and economic forces that influenced the formation of the church. In particular, the author notes recurring themes of unrest, rebellion, and reformation. Gonzalez presents an illumination record of the lives, impelling ideas and achievements of such prominent figures as Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin-movers and shapers in the emerging Protestant church. His biographical insights, in conjunction with vivid historical accounts, reveal how individual lives mirror and clarify core theological concerns and developments. The interpretive overview of The Story of Christianity includes a thorough and timely analysis of the growth and maturation of Christianity, including events in Europe, the United States, and Latin America-the latter an area too often neglected in church histories, yet increasingly vital to an understanding of Christianity’s historical development, present situation, and future options. Gonzalez’s richly textured study discusses the changes and directions of the church in the traditions of Protestantism, Roman Catholicism, and Eastern Christianity. The Story of Christianity covers such recent occurrences as the World Council of Churches, the Second Vatican Council, the movement toward Christian unity, and much more. It concludes with a thoughtful look at the major issues and debates involving Christians today. The Story of Christianity will serve as a fascinating introduction to the panoramic history of Christianity for students and teachers of church history, for pastors, and for general readers.

Servanthood As Worship
$9.99Browse a Christian book website or bookstore and notice all there is for leaders and would-be leaders. There are studies of leaders, keys to leadership, and tips on becoming a leader. Books that promote servanthood tend to be about leadership. But how many books inspire us simply to serve one another? The appeal of leadership has hijacked the biblical call to servanthood. As a result, we major on a role that will only ever be held by a few, and we largely ignore a role that ought to be held by every Christian. Whatever happened to servanthood? Servanthood as Worship offers Christians a biblical understanding of their calling to serve in the church, motivated by the grace that is ours in the gospel. It has the potential to revitalize service teams in churches across the world, from church plants to established congregations.

Cameo Reference Edition Bible
$170.00The Cameo Edition is a classic Cambridge typesetting of the King James Version, originally produced in the 1920s for letterpress printing. The beauty of the Cameo is its solution to the age-old problem of providing readable type in a book of manageable size. Unavailable for a while, the Cameo Reference Edition is now re-issued in response to continued consumer interest, in a new range of binding styles.
The reissue has offered an opportunity for the print image to be enhanced, so while the text presents the same familiar layout and the original Petit Medieval Clarendon type, it is now sharper than in printings of recent years.

IMPACT Leadership
$19.98Leadership is the process by which men and women influence others to follow them by showing them the way, directing them through various activities, and providing purpose, meaning, and motivation to accomplish the task set before them. No one is born to lead, for leadership is an art that must be developed and honed for the good of others. Impact Leadership is leadership that produces an impact not only on those who follow, but also impacts the organization and the leader as well. Impact is something that is felt, observed, and noticed for all who are under its influence. God has called us to be leaders in our homes, our church, our community, and in the organization that we support. Many do not accept the challenge to lead, but to those who step up, may you find the reward of influencing others for the common and spiritual good of mankind.

From Heaven To You
$19.36During His earthly ministry, Jesus described the many great and wonderful things that we as believers-the church-would be able to do through His name. God intends for the church to be the visible, physical representative of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. Believers are called to show the world its power and majesty. Would it be too absurd to ask the simple question, “What extraordinary, including supernatural things did Jesus say believers would be able to do?” From this point you will discover that there are so many components that really help to define what the true church should be like, and an inspired desire to acquire these abilities should blossom! From Heaven to You intends to open your understanding as well as your eyes to the things that Jesus described as your abilities through Him, and as God intended!
Believing that the average Christian believer can do much more, Dr. M.L. Johnson has taken a special walk with God, asking Him questions about certain things plaguing the church of mediocrity today, and God has been faithful to provide the answers! As a Christian, is your walk based upon a system of religion or a relationship with God? This is a very important question that only you could answer. True power and influence in heaven stems from your relationship with God through His Son!
So much is available to the Christian believer -power, spiritual gifts, knowledge, identity-and more! However, so many opportunities to bring successful solutions to even the most simple of circumstances are often lost because of obstacles such as traditions, doctrines, denominationalism and simply lack of Biblical teaching. This book places the opportunities into your hands by showing you that you can do greater works because Jesus himself said that you would!

In A Mirror Dimly
$22.48“They led me from our camp, and I turned once more to look at Abraham. What did I see in his eyes?… One thing I knew, I loved Abraham. Resigned, I turned toward my inevitable fate. The promise of Abraham’s God was not for me.”
Sarah“It was an irretrievable moment. We all knew it. Isaac and I had, in a sense lost both our sons… Esau and Jacob had lost a father and mother and brother … and something had gone out of my relationship with Isaac that could not be restored. How could the broken pieces of our lives ever be put back together?”
Rebekah“My father’s deception and my physical beauty were factors in my life before I was old enough to assimilate them… These two ingredients were a deadly concoction in my life. No doubt, beauty brought me many advantages … but I would learn that beauty could not give me everything I wanted.”
Rachel“In spite of the way Jacob treated me, I still loved him … I was willing to love, even if I was not loved in return. I asked myself why . . . that realization was the first whisper of a love that was not based on the worthiness of the one loved.”
