Nero
$20.00

Nero! The name is both a shame and a shudder. In his life we are presented with an astonishing picture of human greed, cunning, and selfishness at its worst. And thanks to his prominent position, Nero’s example of monstrosity has stood as a lesson and a warning to all men since. Born of Agrippina, of whom only such a son was worthy, he ran the gamut of every human crime and folly, making the Roman Empire minister to his atrocities. When he died, escaping human vengeance at the end, he lamented that so splendid a genius should have to pass away.
This thrilling biography-written by Jacob Abbott and newly edited for younger readers-offers a glimpse into the life of this spoiled prince who became a royal monster.

Nero is part of Makers of History, a 19th century biography series by two brothers-Jacob and John S.C. Abbott. Reprinted by Canon Press, these biographies have been edited and brought up-to-date for readers twelve and up. Not only are these editions given vintage style paperback covers, but they also include introductions that explain where these men and women fit into the timeline of history.

The second book in Lori Copeland’s Belles of Timber Creek series, Audrey Pride arrives in Thunder Ridge under the most unusual circumstances… a rain storm. The typically dry as a bone small town is deluged with rain for weeks, ultimately preventing travel in and out of town. Audrey and her comrade Copper find themselves trapped staying with friend Willow Madison and her invalid uncle. But there’s definitely not a shortage of work to be done, as a wagon train gets trapped in town and spreads a violent illness. There are sick people to care for and Audrey even finds herself working as an undertaker’s assistant, something she never thought she’d do.

Meanwhile, her attraction to widower Eli Gray has grown stronger than ever, especially as she’s started to care for his son while Eli’s working. But Eli has a wall up around his heart. After losing his wife in childbirth while he was away at war, he’s never forgiven himself and does not seem interested in opening his life up to anyone new.

But as the town sags under the weight of water and illness, they must come to depend on each other in ways they never thought possible. As tragedy threatens to strike, will Audrey be able to convince Eli that he deserves more than a solitary existence?

Dancing With Idolatry
$18.73

Idol worshippers today may be of the primitive kind or a little more sophisticated. Some are church members, but their true allegiance is not to the God of the Bible. We can be very creative in deifying what we value the most. We make idols out of anything. Our idols can be ideas, achievements, past times, entertainment, possessions, personalities, and even our own selves. These are worshipped when they become the supreme objects of our devotion, attention, spending, conversation, and relationships. A saving and abiding intimacy with Jesus Christ is the antidote to this poison. “…It is the natural desire for our hearts to be mirrors into which we look and worship ourselves.

Deacon Relationships Through The Body Of Christ
$21.23

Be the leader God intended you to be! Churches often elect deacons and fail to give them the training they need to accomplish their task, assuming that if one is qualified to become a deacon, he doesn’t need training. This assumption has proven injurious both to the individual deacon and to the body of Christ. Dr. Ledbetter is one of the most qualified leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention to assist deacons in becoming the leader God intended them to be. As a pastor, he worked with deacons in four growing churches. Since entering evangelism in January 1984, he has conducted several hundred deacon retreats in both small and large churches across America, in addition to conducting revivals. To be an effective leader, a deacon must have a right relationship with Christ, his family, his church, his pastor, and with himself. This book discusses each of these relationships and provides spiritual insights that will help not only deacons, but every Christian leader to become all God intended them to be.

MARTHA also wrote other casual poems, thirty-five of them, of random inspiration she calls Various Mementos. So, MARTHA calls her book 101 POETIC COLLECTIBLES: – In The Chain of Years. Behold the gems of inspiration, as sparkling jewels, in 101 POETIC COLLECTIBLES: – In The Chain of Years. This two-part book of poems takes us into the joy MARTHA PAULINE BROWN had across the chain of years in writing poems, now, first to be read by others besides the friends and family who received a poem each December – 66 poems called Christmas Musings.

In His transfer from the cross to the throne, He is Savior, Death’s Conqueror, Intercessor, Advocate to God and Coming King – for your receptive heart bringing “gems” of eternal value. Also, 101 POETIC COLLECTIBLES brings Martha’s 35 random poems as Various Mementos of casual souvenirs, each ending in climax coming from the soul of Martha’s poetic pen.

Biography Of The Holy Trinity And Man
$33.73

If you’re like most people you have questions about God that are difficult to find answers for. But, there are answers to some of these and other intriguing, and sometimes troubling, questions about life inside this book in easy-to-understand language. This book is designed to lessen some of the mystery of God. God wants us to know more about Him and His plans for us. God wants us to know about His Son, Christ Jesus, and exactly what He did for us then and what He does for us now. God wants us to know about His power, the Holy Spirit, and what He does. God wants us to understand how we are viewed by Him and how we fit into His overall plans. He wants us to see ourselves, the condition that we have, and the position that we are in. God wants us to understand that there must be a faithful and productive relationship between Him and us if we are to please Him. And we must have a solid understanding of how that relationship itself works. It is extremely important that we know what sin is and how it affects our relationship with Him. He wants and expects us to know all these things. God has never wanted to remain a total mystery to us because we cannot serve Him if He is a total mystery. Therefore, this book explains to the undecided, enlightens the newly converted, and reinforces for those already “born again” the necessity of understanding the relationship between God and themselves. Also, you will come to know that there are choices that must be made that only you can make. But they will not be as difficult to make once you have a better understanding of the relationship between God and man.

Stay The Course And Stick With The True Gospel
$24.98

To “stay the course” means to persevere through difficulty. To “stick with” something means to not give it up. Gospel means “good news.” We need some good news today and God has it. However, the “gospel” offered today is often different from the gospel revealed by God in His word. That has led to a lot of bad news. The “gospel” must be accurate and true to what God has revealed. We can’t change the words of God and expect God to abide by conditions He never offered. That is exactly what is happening in the church today. The consequence of straying off course is spiritual dullness, division, and disillusionment. The church is experiencing a kind of Dark Ages. Because the church is in darkness, the world is too. But there is hope! Throughout history the true gospel has been a powerful reality. Stay the Course and Stick with the True Gospel, based on a study of Galatians, is a challenging call to discover and stick to the true gospel and sound biblical doctrine.

Taylor, in the introduction to this analysis of Ezekiel, sketches a portrait of the prophet and his times, carefully placing the book and its prophecies within their historical settings. He also provides an overview of the books themes and a clear outline of its contents.

Speaking Of God
$37.99

D. Stephen Long here addresses a key question in current theological debate: the conditions of the possibility of “God-talk,” along with attending questions about natural theology, fideism, and theological truth-claims. He engages not only the most significant contemporary theologians and philosophers on this score (Denys Turner, Bruce Marshall, John Milbank, Charles Taylor, Fergus Kerr) but also the legacy of twentieth-century theology (Barth, von Balthasar) and the analytic philosophical tradition from Wittgenstein to Davidson. Throughout, Long sustains a careful exegetical engagement with Aquinas, showing that what’s at stake in contemporary theology is just how we inherit St. Thomas.

In joining all of these voices into one conversation, Long does a remarkable job of surveying the current theological scene with respect to issues of language and truth, arguing for the need to deal head-on with classical questions of metaphysics. Central to his project is averting the charge of “fideism” so often laid at the feet of “postliberal” approaches (like Long’s). To that end Long argues for a (chastened) natural theology, while challenging any simple distinction between “natural” and “confessional” theology.

Feelings And Faith
$19.99

Weaves together biblical exposition and practical application to demonstrate how emotions relate to the Christian life. Emotions are a vital part of what it means to be a human being made in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. But often our emotions confuse and mislead us. So what is the proper place for emotions in a Christian’s walk of faith? In Feelings and Faith Brian Borgman draws from his extensive biblical knowledge and his pastoral experience to help readers understand both divine and human emotions. After laying a biblical foundation he moves on to practical application, focusing on how Christians can put to death ungodly emotional displays and also cultivate godly emotions. This biblically informed, practical volume is helpful for pastors, counselors, and serious-minded Christians who wish to develop a full-orbed faith that encompasses their emotional life.

Embodied Faith : Reflections On A Materialist Spirituality
$33.99

Outlines a new, practical, down-to-earth Christian spirituality.

The materialist spirituality in Embodied Faith is biblically grounded, and it smells of earth even as it offers a taste of heaven. Taking an observation of St. Benedict as his starting point, Ola Tjrhom maintains that outward forms are fully capable of incorporating and expressing inner spiritual substance.

Tjrhom moves on to identify three crucial features of a materialist spirituality. First, it has a concrete substance – primarily the sacraments and the sacramental dimension of our Christian life in its totality. Second, materialist spirituality cannot be lived out in a vacuum, but requires concrete spaces – mainly the church and the world, which, though separate, are clearly interconnected. Third, this spirituality is grounded not in airy ideas and concepts but in plain empirical perception – in things we can see and hear, smell and taste – making it a spirituality eminently suited for our daily lives and the world.

Biblical Christianity : From Man Centered To A Christ Centered Church
$21.23

The need to redefine Christianity and the purpose of the church has continued to attract the attention of concerned Christian preachers and authors. This is more so as the central message of the gospel as the power of God for the transformation of a believer’s life has given way to humanistic philosophy and an emphasis on this worldly. In this book, Dr. Oshin takes a critical look at the church, highlighting what he perceives as wrong teachings in the church. The book is a call to believers to rediscover the gospel of Jesus Christ, and His kingdom principles. It is a call for paradigm shift – a shift from emphasis on this worldly to biblical Christianity.

Broken Walls : And Those Called To Repair Them
$22.48

Broken Walls details the desperate need for a generation of adults to come to the spiritual rescue of America’s future generations. Just as the walls of Jerusalem were broken down in the days of Nehemiah, the spiritual walls of America lie in ruins at the feet of our children. And just as Nehemiah did, God is calling us to rebuild them for His name’s sake- for our children and their children. Broken Walls is a must read for parents, pastors, educators, and anyone who calls themselves a follower of King Jesus. The spiritual future of our nation is in the hands of those God called to be “repairers of the broken walls.” Come let us rebuild . . . (Neh 4:17) Your soul will be stirred, your heart rebuked, and your body spurred on in the fight for our nation’s children. Ryan Dalgliesh (Speaker and author- founder of Higher Rock Ministries) Broken Walls will change the way you look at the generations following you and provide the tools needed to make an eternal difference in the lives of those you encounter on a daily basis. Julie Mustard (High school coach and teacher) Kevin Kirkland finally says what so many of us who work with the young people of America know to be true- our children are spiritually in a desperate “state of emergency,” and WE must take responsibility for rebuilding all that the enemy has destroyed. Chris Ratley (17 year veteran of youth ministry) The resounding message of this book brings us back to the truth and the purpose Jesus had for us all when he said “Follow Me.” Stacy Brown (mother of three teenagers)
