Understanding God : Poems And Songs
$27.48Veronica Grant-Miranda has been compiling her writings in her continuing journey of understanding God. Her first writing was in 1974 after a traumatic divorce when she cried out: “God, why me? You know I love and serve You!” God quickly replied, “Why not you?” Veronica realized that she was not exempt from pain and tragedy. In her trauma she cried and cried and cried. In her futility she clearly heard Jesus calling her name: “Veronica.” Upon hearing His voice her tears suddenly stopped. She also began to understand that this God whom she loved since the age of seven cannot be fully understood by human beings such as she, but can be completely trusted. He ever abides.

Twin Towers Of Prayer
$16.86A crisis is the turning point for better or worse in an acute disease. Many times we use prayer as a crisis management tool.

If we are not careful, the unified prayer that was created because of 9/11 will become a thing of the past.

The ancient Hebrew text is used to bring out fresh revelation concerning the events of 9/11. You will discover the five keys to powerful fellowship with God that will cause your prayer life to soar like the twin towers. May the twin towers continue to stand as God constructs the Twin Towers of Prayer in our heart, and may He continue to bless America as she takes her place in the garden.

Hell Without Fire
$26.99Conversion is one of the most significant motifs in American Church History. From the First and Second Great Awakenings to early twentieth-century Pentecostal revivals and contemporary Evangelical movements, conversion in all its extravagant forms is important to the story of religion in America. Love Henry Whelchel, Jr. takes up this motif of conversion as it relates particularly to enslaved Africans and black Americans. He explains the role of conversion in the complex interaction between blacks and whites in America. Using the motif of Christian conversion as a unifying theme, Whelchel provides a basic introduction to the history and diversity of Christian religion among enslaved Africans and black Americans. Conversion serves to illuminate the complex relationships that developed between black and white religion in America from its founding until the period of Reconstruction. Whelchel concludes with the story of the founding of the C.M.E., illustrating the emergence of black Methodism from white control in the South following the Civil War.

Joshua-Ruth
$40.00Who is God? How does God act in our lives? How are we to act as God’s faithful people? Joshua, Judges, and Ruth represent a chorus of voices reflecting on Israel’s earliest days in its land. The main storyline is straightforward: in Joshua, God empowers an obedient Israel to conquer the Promised Land; in Judges, Israel’s faithlessness and God’s wrath lead to a downward spiral of sin, subjugation, and social disintegration; and Ruth narrates a story of divine blessing worked out through human loyalty. Within the overarching plot, multiple voices wrestle with a range of issues including faithfulness and faithlessness, identity, leadership, and the nature of providence. Pressler explores these themes in their historical context while also presenting their relevance for the church today.

Public Reading Of Scripture
$20.99The reading of Scripture holds a central place in Christian worship. Every week the Word of God becomes flesh again as the words of the biblical text are read aloud. Those who take on the responsibility of reading Scripture in public do so knowing its importance, but rarely having the change to train in how to do it better. Most readers have never been given the opportunity to consider how each act of public reading of Scripture is an interpretation of the text, nor have they been given the tools for an effective and faithful reading performance. The handbook begins with a brief overview of the meaning and importance of the spoken word in worship. He then goes on to provide practical, detailed instructions on how to understand the text for reading. The book concludes with several appendices, including a pronunciation guide for biblical words and an annotated bibliography that points readers in the direction of further study.

Heavenly Trumpet : John Chrysotom And The Art Of Pauline Interpretation
$65.00Arguing that all Pauline interpretation depends significantly upon the ways in which readers formulate their own images of the apostle, Margaret M. Mitchell posits that John Chrysostom, the most profilic interpreter of the Pauline epistles in the early church, exemplifies this phenomenon. Mitchell brings together Chrysostom’s copious portraits of Paul – of his body, his soul, and his life circumstances – and for the first time analyzes them as complex rhetorical compositions built open well-known conventions of Greco-Roman rhetoric. Two appendixes offer a fresh translation of Chrysostom’s seven homilies de laudibus sancti Pauli and a catalog of color plates of artistic representation that graphically represent the author/exegete dynamic this study explores.

Divine Decision : A Process Doctrine Of Election
$50.00Donna Bowman utilizes the work of process thinker Alfred North Whitehead to develop a doctrine of election that dialogues with the view of Reformed theologian Karl Barth. Taking seriously Barth’s contention that election is the best of all words that can be spoken about God, Bowman reinterprets Whitehead’s description of God’s provision of the initial aim to each entity as the central cosmological and theological fact of universal election. By combining Barth’s concerns with process categories, she concludes that both of the two systems are aimed at common theological and philosophical enemies.

Answered Prayer

Discovering Christ In Genesis
$24.69This volume is not intended to be a full exposition of the Book of Genesis. The purpose is to set forth, as simply and clearly, the grace and glory of God in Christ in the opening pages of Holy Scripture. So states Don Fortner in the Preface to this volume – and this is precisely what he does. By commenting on the principal characters to whom God revealed himself in the book of Genesis and the major events of their lives, the author brings to light the presence of Christ and the evidence of God’s great plan of redemption in these opening chapters of the Bible. But he does not leave it there: concerned to impart to the reader a greater appreciation of Christ, the Saviour of sinners, the author intersperses teaching and application, with the intention of encouraging believers to live lives of worship and committed service to Christ.
