Calling : The Seven Days Of Religious Tolerance
$28.73The characters in this book find themselves in a fight with Satan for the creation of a one-world religion. We are quickly approaching the rapture of the Church. Time is running out to make a difference. I feel it is an important piece because it says a lot of things that the Christian community today needs to say, but is unwilling or afraid to say. We will continue to lose our religious freedoms in this country if we continue to do nothing. Right now, the only ones speaking are special interest groups. I think most Christians today feel Jesus will be coming back soon; He’ll take care of everything. While we’re waiting, our God-given rights are being pushed under the legislative carpet. Reform goes to the loudest voice. What was “one nation under God” is quickly drying up in our unwillingness to stand up and say, “NO MORE.” What sets this book apart from other angel-type books is that the angelic character here is mostly interested in teaching the Word of God. His devotion to duty and his desire to tell of the things of God are paramount in his existence. All kinds of different emotions will be brought to bear as you read, THE CALLING: SEVEN DAYS OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE. May God be praised. -Frank Deming

Roger Staubach Captain America
$15.95If at one time the Dallas Cowboys were America’s Team, Roger Staubach was America’s Quarterback. Roger the Dodger was a real-life embodiment of apple pie, world championships, and role models. Staubach was a Heisman Trophy winner at Annapolis who served four years as a naval officer before going on to a stellar eleven-year career with the Dallas Cowboys that included four NFC championships and two Super Bowl titles. Considered the master of the two-minute offense and late-game comeback, Staubach eventually earned a spot in the Cowboys’ illustrious Ring of Honor and, ultimately in 1985, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.If ever there was a perfect meshing of franchise, coach, and on-field leader, it was the silver-white-and-blue Cowboys of the seventies with Tom Landry strolling the sidelines in his trademark fedora and the unflappable Staubach barking signals. He led the NFL in passing five times, and when he retired at age thirty-seven he departed the game in possession of the highest quarterback rating of all time. After his retirement from football, he pretty much left the game behind, forsaking a shot at coaching or television commentary to focus his energies on the corporate world as chairman and CEO of the Staubach Company, a diversified commercial real estate company.Roger Staubach: Captain America is an oral history of Staubach’s life, times, and career. It is told in the words of dozens of former teammates and opponents, friends, business associates, civic leaders, acquaintances, and others who have known him over the years. Staubach turned sixty in 2002, and this book offers a touching and telling testimonial to a true American hero and role model.

Historicity Of The Patriarchal Narratives
$99.91Archaeology seems to have become an active partner in the attempt to prove the historical truth of the Bible. Biblical archaeologists have gone to the field in search of Noah’s ark or the walls of Jericho, as if the finding of these artifacts would make the events of scripture somehow more true or real.
Thomas Thompson is one of the most vocal contemporary critics of biblical archaeology. His simple but powerful thesis is that archaeology cannot be used in the service of the Bible. Focusing on the patriarchal narratives_the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob_he demonstrates that archaeological research simply cannot historically substantiate these stories.Going further, Thompson says that archaeological materials should never be dated or evaluated on the basis of written texts. Looking to the patriarchal narratives in Genesis, he concludes that these stories are neither historical nor were they intended to be historical. Instead, these narratives are written as expressions of Israel’s relationship to God.

Echo Of The Soul
$21.95Few issues have caused the church more difficulty through the ages than those surrounding the human body. Throughout much of Christian history, spiritual seekers have considered the body to be, at best, a hindrance to spiritual enlightenment, and, at worst, an enemy to be suppressed. Many of our contemporary negative preoccupations with physical appearance, image, and sexuality derive from this ancient and habitual denial of the notion that we were created in God’s image.
In Echo of the Soul bestselling author J. Philip Newell finds that the human body, like creation, is actually the dwelling place of God. Using the Old Testament Wisdom literature, which informed Celtic spirituality’s positive understanding of what it means to be human, Newell looks at each part of the body as a sacred text that reveals something of the Divine. Looking back to a time before Christians began to distrust their physicality, Newell shows that our most ancient texts challenge modern assumptions about love, beauty, sexuality, learning, wisdom, power, and responsibility, and bridges the body/spirit divide.

Jesus Judaism And Christian Anti Judaism
$28.00Current scholarship in the study of ancient Christianity is now available to non-specialists through this collection of essays on anti-Judaism in the New Testament and in New Testament interpretation.

Abide In Christ
$16.99So many Christians, instead of accepting God’s invitation to enter His throne room, stand alone outside the door, uncertain and ashamed. Christ beckons them to His banqueting table and offers them a room in His house, but they foolishly give up the glory of the life He as offered. They come to Jesus as Redeemer but never go beyond the doorway to abide in Him and experience the unspeakable joy of swelling with the King of Kings. Andrew Murray knew what it meant to be continually in the Father’s presence. Read these thirty-one heart-searching readings and learn how to live daily in closer communion and fellowship with Him. Accept God’s invitation and live in His blessing and glory instead of shuffling your feet at the gate.

Washing Of The Word
$28.73“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised.” (Hebrews 10:23) Many believers are familiar with the idea of confession of sins. Howerver, this biblical word “profession” or ” confession” really means to say the same thing as-it is not only a confession on sins, but also a confession of faith. By using The Washing of the Word as a daily discipline, believers can “say the same thing as” God’s Word. This book is a handbook, a tool, to be used as an aid in speaking the Scriptures. Balanced and sound confessions of living trust and faith are excerpted from every book of the Bible. As we accept the Word of God as the ruling standard of our lives, hearts-and mouths-we will experience the reality of “the washing of the Word.”

Counseling Before Marriage Is A Necessity Not An Option
$19.36In the new millennium, the rate of divorce, erosion of family values, and delinquency of parents and children, are menaces staring at us in screaming headlines. I personally attribute this social cancer to the faulty, ignorant, unholy foundation that people build their marriages on. Most people simply do not start their marriages right! I see eye-to-eye with the issues expounded on by my colleague Rev. Isaac Arku in this book, which he has so painstakingly put together, to express his personal knowledge and emphasis on the importance of Bible-based pre-marital counseling. Single persons need to be adequately taught the essentials of family life before they marry. Rev. Arku’s book has a wealth of information for all sectors of our communities, and the rich contents are timely. -Rev. Dr. Samuel Kissesdoo Professor of Biology, Hampton University, VA Lic.

Psalms Volume 1
$76.99In this newest addition to the NIV Application Commentary series, Dr. Gerald H. Wilson examines the first 2 books of the Psalter (Psalms 172), bringing together over 20 years of personal research and teaching. Wilson9s seminal work on the shape and shaping of the Hebrew Psalter has opened a new avenue of psalms research by shifting focus from exclusive attention to individual psalms (through form critical analysis) to include the significance of groups of psalms and the arrangement of the Psalter as a whole. Bridging the distance from the prayer and worship of ancient Israel to the contemporary life of faith, this volume challenges the reader to see familiar psalms with new eyes. Individual interpretation is coupled with insight into the influence of the broader context, and the shaping of the book of Psalms as a whole is explored so that the Psalter emerges as a unified collection with a purpose of its own. When complete, the two-volume set will include original discussions of the shaping of the 5 books of the Psalter and of the collection as a whole, as well as extended consideration of Hebrew poetics, and the theology of the psalms. Scholars and students, clergy and laity will find this volume a stimulating window onto the historical, literary, and spiritual riches of the psalms.

City And Sanctuary
$35.99This volume challenges some common assumptions about the culture of the early Byzantine Near East by examining the architecture and urban design of five cities in that period. The author assesses the various kinds of religious structure found in each city, including cult centres, temples dedicated to the Olympian gods and buildings set aside for mystery religions. He also shows how the effects of these sanctuaries on civic religious life were hugely important and influential, and shaped the way that citizens conceived of their city and of themselves. This book should be of interest to: scholars and students of the New Testament and of the Hellenistic period; scholars and students of Judaic studies; scholars and students of Classical studies; and non-specialists interested in the life and times of the ancient world.

Paul And Jesus
$23.50It has been fashionable in New Testament scholarship to view the apostle Paul as a religious “freelancer” who corrupted Jesus’ teachings. David Wenham has written convincingly against this view, and in this new book he introduces readers to the “true” Paul.
Rooted in a thorough knowledge of the New Testament, this book fulfills two important purposes. First, it provides a superb introduction to Paul himself. Wenham describes Paul’s early life, shows the importance of his conversion, and follows him on his missionary journeys. Second, the book explores Paul’s relation to Jesus. Writing in dialogue with those who wish to distance Paul from Jesus, Wenham shows just how important the ministry and teaching of Jesus were to Paul’s own thought and evangelism. What emerges from a study of Paul’s epistles is a man who drew extensively on the traditions of Jesus and faithfully worked to spread his message to the rest of the world.

Womens Intuition
$20.99Samson, author of The Church Ladies, stakes out her claim as a novelist of distinction for readers who enjoy evangelical Christian fiction but often choke on the pabulum that passes for it. Larkspur Summerville is a 41-year-old paranoid virtual recluse who for 20 years has kept a secret from her family-a secret that now threatens to become her undoing. Raised Methodist, her sanity is partially tethered to playing the organ for St. Dominic’s Catholic Church and experiencing the loving friendship of its priests, although Lark admits, “The whole Mary thing unsettles me.” Lark spends most of her free time running a toll-free prayer line, 1-777-IPRAY4U. When Lark’s house burns to the ground, she is forced to seek refuge with her estranged mother, Leslie, and Leslie’s live-in housekeeper and Internet guru, Prisma Percy. Rounding out the household is Lark’s hip, artsy daughter, Flannery, a barista at Starbucks, whose sanity is the glue that holds her strange family together. The finely crafted, first-person narratives alternate among the four women, with a short ending chapter from Lark’s brother, Newly. Samson occasionally overwrites and is a little heavy on the dialogue, but her prose is mostly excellent, and the characters appealing and compelling. The centerpiece of the novel is its beautiful depiction of faith and fear that avoids canned Christian gospel presentation scenes but is clear in its message. With this offering, Samson places herself in the ranks of the CBA’s best novelists, with writing that has the potential to find a general readership as well.

Where Is Boasting
$43.99This important work challenges the validity of the “New Perspective” on Paul and Judaism. Working new data from Jewish literature and a fresh reading of Romans 1-5, Simon Gathercole produces a far-reaching criticism of the current approach to Paul and points a new way forward. Building on a detailed examination of the past generation of scholarship on Paul and early Judaism, Gathercole’s work follows two paths. First, he shows that while early Judaism was not truly oriented around legalistic works-righteousness, it did consider obedience to the Law to be an important criterion at the final judgement. On the basis of this reconstruction of Jewish thought and a rereading of Romans 1-5, Gathercole advances his main argument – that Paul did indeed combat a Jewish perspective that saw obedience to the Law is not a criterion for the final judgement because human nature makes obedience to the Law impossible. His doctrine of justification can therefore be properly viewed in its Jewish context, yet anthropological issues also take center stage.

Money And The Kingdom Of God
$21.18Conventional wisdom would tell us that money and religion are mutually exclusive entities. It’s easy to understand why: there’s the popular maxim about money being the “root of all evil”, as well as Jesus’ admonitions about our inability to serve both God and Mammon or how difficult it is for a rich man to enter heaven. But Maurice Fetty disagrees – he notes that in Jesus’ view, money and the kingdom of God are intertwined. In these pages, Fetty stresses the importance of our being good stewards of God’s creation, and he points out that what we do with our money is indelibly linked with faithful living. When rightly done, Fetty concludes, the rich can be righteous, and the righteous can be rich. This book is excellent for spiritual growth reading or as a source for stewardship sermons.
