Honest Truth : A Rational Approach To Uniting The Holy Bible And True Scien
$24.98When I realized the confusion in the church and the secular world concerning the common ground between the Bible and the sciences, I decided to “light a light rather than curse the darkness.” It was necessary to have a format that would do justice to the Bible and the sciences. After a number of years of research, I decided to approach this subject as a thorough coverage of the Bible and the sciences. Thus, this book starts by developing a sound mind for greater service for God and others. It is followed with the honest truth found in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Then there is a comparison of Good Science with the illusions of modern “science,” falsely so called. The fourth part of this book is the reenactment of the marriage of Holy Bible and True Science to bring glory and honor to God. This is followed by a number of appendixes and a bibliography to reinforce the argument found in it.

Eternal Scars : The Great High Priest After The Order Of Melchizedek And Th
$19.98The Lord has Sworn and Will Not Change His Mind: “You Are a Priest Forever After the Order of Melchizedek.” (Psalm 110:4) A mysterious passage. A radical truth. The author of the book of Hebrews proclaims, “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 6:9-10). Why is this hope such an anchor of the soul? And why is understanding the pre-eminent Priest after the “order of Melchizedek” of unparalleled significance in the life of the believer? Because wrapped in this ministry of the Messiah is your eternal salvation and your eternal relationship with Jesus Christ. You will never know your Lord in any other way. He will always be the Great High Priest. The reformer Martin Luther went so far as to state: “There is a great and rich fountain in this verse which speaks of Christ as ‘a Priest forever’ or ‘an eternal Priest’; indeed, it is a treasure, the source of all Christian doctrine, understanding,wisdom, and comfort. There is no single passage in Scripture which expresses this so richly or completely.” When Jesus was raised from the dead, all was restored except His scars from the cross. These Eternal Scars proclaim Him as the Great High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. This book explores the “story behind the scars” and the rich significance of understanding Jesus as our eternal High Priest.

Mad About Us
$29.98LEARN TO LOVE YOUR MARRIAGE AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE YOUR SPOUSE. Many couples try to love each other only to be trapped by the marriage itself. Loving the relationship provides an opportunity for a deep and lasting connection. When you and your spouse love the Us-the separate entity created when two people fall in love-then together you will experience a unique partnership and deep spiritual union.

His years of clinical competence combined with his practical insight make him a true authority-someone we deeply respect. We urge you to read this book.” Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott Seattle Pacific University Authors of The Love List “Mad About Us offers piercing insight and truly effective help for people looking to build profound marriage partnerships. Individuals and couples looking to move beyond a marriage of survival to one of deep satisfaction and intimacy will want to pick up this book.” Daniel Meyer, Senior Pastor Christ Church Oak Brook, Illinois “Dr. Doug McKinley provides both the wisdom and discernment to move beyond simplistic solutions. Mad About Us offers a unique and profound relational definition of marriage as well as a pattern through which to assess next steps for a couple’s marital growth.” Rev.

Being The Body (Expanded)
$19.99Charles Colson has been called, “one of the most important social reformers in a generation.” Ten years ago in The Body, Colson turned his prophetic attention to the church and how it might break out of its cultural captivity and reassert its biblical identity. Today the book’s classic truths have not changed. But the world we live in has. Christians in America have had their complacency shattered and their beliefs challenged. Around the world, the clash of world views has never been more strident. Before all of us, daily, are the realities of life and death, terror and hope, light and darkness, brokenness and healing. We cannot withdraw to the comfort of our sanctuaries…we must engage. For, if ever there was a time for Christians to be the Body of Christ in the world, it is now. In this new, revised and expanded edition of The Body, Charles Colson revisits the question, “What is the church and what is its relevance to contemporary culture at large?” Provocative and insightful, Being the Body inspires us to rise above a stunted “Jesus and me” faith to a nobler view of something bigger and grander than ourselves–the glorious, holy vision for which God created the church.

Liberwocky : What Liberals Say And What They Really Mean
$15.99Laid out like a dictionary A-to-Z (much like Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary), Liberwocky takes a close and comedic look at how liberals use and abuse language to manipulate the citizenry and their attitudes. Having forty years of political and media experience, Gold sees through the trickery of today’s political rhetoric. And in this book, he exposes their techniques, their verbal twists and devious turns of phrase, in a way that is both provocative and hilarious. Including sections such as: “Truly Stupid Liberal Ideas” (poking fun at the U.N., Peurto Rican statehood, and voting rights for felons) and “The American Liberal’s All Time Enemies List” (fifty conservatives liberals love to hate), this book-both mocking and informative-is an enjoyable romp through the language of modern politics.

Because They Never Asked
$16.86Writing from a Jewish perspective, Lonnie Lane tells the story of how God supernaturally revealed Himself to her. She first sensed the presence of Yeshua (Jesus) when in Israel with her synagogue. This led her through a long intellectual struggle with questions that many Jews ask about God.When God spoke to her audibly, in power and tenderness, she knew why Abraham and Moses obeyed upon hearing His Voice. One by one, her family members came to the Lord, each with his or her own unique encounter with God. Her love for God, for Israel, and for her Jewish people will touch your heart. “It is unusual for an entire immediate Jewish family to accept the Lord. The Lanes are such a family. They are a prototype of what God is about to do with Jewish families worldwide. I urge you to read, enjoy, and learn about this most unusual Jewish Mishpochah (family).” -Sid Roth, President, Messianic Vision

10. Made Not Born: ConclusionsAdditional Info
Description
‘I am a Christian’ is the confession of the martyrs of early Christian texts and, no doubt, of many others; but what did this confession mean, and how was early Christian identity constructed? This innovative study sets the emergence of Christian identity in the first two centuries, as it is constructed by the broad range of surviving literature, within the wider context of Jewish and Graeco-Roman identity. It uses a number of models from contemporary constructionist views of identity formation to explore how what comes to be seen as ‘Christian’ literature creates a sense of what to be ‘a Christian’ means, and traces both continuities and discontinuities with the ways in which Jewish and Graeco-Roman identity were also being constructed through their texts. It seeks to acknowledge the centrality of texts in shaping early Christianity, historically as well as in our perception of it, while also exploring how we might move from those texts to the individuals and communities who preserved them. Such an approach challenges more traditional emphases on the development of institutions, whether structures or credal and ethical formulations, which often fail to recognize the rhetorical function of the texts on which they draw, and the uncertainties of how well these reflect the actual practice and experience of individuals and communities. While building on recent recognition of the diversity of early Christianity, the book goes on to explore the question whether it is possible to speak of a distinctive Christian identity across both the range of early texts and as a pressing historical and theological question in the contemporary world.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Humor For A Teachers Heart
$13.99Sharing Love. . .Making a Difference!
Teachers answer one of the most important callings on earth – the call to shape the hearts and minds of our children. Teachers know that the long-term results of their hard work are not always evident in their everyday experience. But they show up every day, and they give their all to each of their students.
And in the process of all that teachers do, they find that there’s a lot to laugh about. And they know that laughter is sometimes the best barrier between despair and delight.

Postmodern Life Cycle
$24.99“Friedrich Schweitzer is knowledgeable of both European and American cultural shifts into postmodernity. This well-written account of the impacts of media saturation, the relativization of religious authority, and the rapid global emergence of varieties of spiritual orientations and practices, is the first of its kind. Schweitzer’s knowledge of practices of faith and his mastery of the available research literature on posmodern conditions make this work indispensable for religious leaders, students of postmodernity, and a broad reading public. A great achievement!”

Worship Wars In Early Lutheranism
$175.00How important was music to Martin Luther? Drawing on hundreds of liturgical documents, contemporary accounts of services, books on church music, and other sources, Joseph Herl rewrites the history of music and congregational song in German Lutheran churches. Herl traces the path of music and congregational song in the Lutheran church from the Reformation to 1800, to show how it acquired its reputation as the “singing church.”
In the centuries after its founding, in a debate that was to have a strong impact on Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries, the Lutheran church was torn over a new style of church music that many found more entertaining than devotional. By the end of the eighteenth century, Lutherans were trying to hold their own against a new secularism, and many members of the clergy favored wholesale revision or even abandonment of the historic liturgy in order to make worship more relevant in contemporary society. Herl paints a vivid picture of these developments, using as a backdrop the gradual transition from a choral to a congregational liturgy.
The author eschews the usual analyses of musical repertoire and deals instead with events, people and ideas, drawing readers inside the story and helping them sense what it must have been like to attend a Lutheran church in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Parallel developments in Catholic churches are discussed, as are the rise of organ accompaniment of hymns and questions of musical performance practice. Although written with academic precision, the writing is clear and comprehensible to the nonspecialist, and entertaining anecdotes abound.
Appendixes include translations of several important historical documents and a set of tables outlining the Lutheran mass as presented in 172 different liturgical orders. The bibliography includes 400 Lutheran church orders and reports of ecclesiastical visitations read by the author.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

From Hurt To Healing
$24.99At any gathering, you will likely see both abusers and victims. In Christian theology, we have approached these two very different types of people with a single solution. Having drawn a map of salvation for sinners, we ignore the victims, making it their responsibility to find their way back to peace. Park argues it is time for the church and its theology to remedy this situation by using an Asian religious concept called han–the psychic and spiritual pain caused by unjust oppression–as a way of healing the wounds of abuse and violence.

In The Beginning Creativity
$45.00Gordon Kaufman’s bold and highly regarded works over the last thirty years have pushed theologians to examine honestly, if painfully, their most cherished assumptions about God. Now, in this major contribution to the theology-and-science debate, he argues that our traditional thinking about and worship of God have prepared us badly for perhaps the most important problem we face today–the ecological crisis.
Kaufman begins with a survey of the pluriform development and effects of the notion of God. He then demonstrates how these concepts of God have become out of sync with contemporary understandings of the world and humanity. He offers an alternative concept by distinguishing the different modalities of creativity as they figure in the creation of the universe, the cosmic evolutionary process (especially the emergence of life), and human symbolic creativity. Finally, he sketches their interconnections and demonstrates in what way they stand for the divine. This volume not only develops further than ever before Kaufman’s idea of God as creativity but also shows what it would mean to think of God in this way, to live with faith in this God, and to cooperate with the divine in meeting our most pressing challenges.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
