Finding Spiritual Whitespace (Reprinted)
$16.47How many of us find ourselves exhausted, running on empty with no time for rest, no time for ourselves, no time for God? Bonnie Gray knows exactly what that’s like. On the brink of fulfilling a lifelong dream, Bonnie’s plans suddenly went off script. Her life shattered into a debilitating journey through anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. But as she struggled to make sense of it all, she made an important discovery: we all need spiritual whitespace.
Spiritual whitespace makes room–room in one’s heart for a deep relationship with God, room in one’s life for rest, room in one’s soul for rejuvenation. With soul-stirring vulnerability and heartbreaking honesty, Bonnie takes readers on a personal journey to feed their souls and uncover the deeper story of rest. Lyrical writing draws readers into Gray’s intimate journey through overwhelming stress to find God in a broken story and celebrate the beauty of faith.
Guided by biblical encouragement and thought-provoking prompts, Gray shows readers how to create space in the everyday for God, refreshment, and faith. She also offers practical steps and insights for making spiritual whitespace a reality, right in the midst of the stress-frayed stories in every season of life.
“We live in a culture that brags and boasts about being busy. Into that reality steps Bonnie with a new idea. Whitespace is an important concept and Bonnie has captured it perfectly. If you’re exhausted with being exhausted, read this book. If you feel too busy to read this book, then that’s probably the best sign of all that you need it.”–from the foreword by Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Stuff Christians Like

Beautiful Disaster : Finding Hope In The Midst Of Brokenness (Reprinted)
$27.05Interweaving biblical insights and personal narratives, this eloquently written book shows how God often uses suffering and desert experiences to form us into Christ’s image. Marlena Graves shares her experiences of growing up poor in a house plagued by mental illness as a means to explore the forces God uses to shape us into beautiful people in the midst of brokenness.
This book offers a window into suffering through the motif of desert spirituality, revealing how God can use our painful experiences to show himself faithful. While no one welcomes suffering, God often uses desert experiences–those we initially despise and wouldn’t wish on anyone–to transform us into beautiful souls who better resemble Jesus. Graves shows how God can bring life out of circumstances reeking of death and destruction, whether those circumstances are crises or daily doses of quiet desperation.
Readers who have experienced suffering and question God’s purpose for it will benefit from this book, as will counselors, pastors, professors, and mentors. It includes a foreword by John Ortberg and Laura Ortberg Turner.

In Supernatural Manifestations in the Church, you will receive answers to the following questions:
*How can you access the supernatural in your own devotional life?

*What are these strange utterances all about?
*Will I need years of counseling to get free?
*Is there a special tongue for self-deliverance?
*If Jesus took care of the Devil, then what is this all about?We have relegated to the specialist what every believer has access to.

Controlling Husband : What Every Woman Needs To Know
$17.50“I can’t live this way anymore.”
“I’ve given up trying to change him.”
“I can’t ever be good enough.”
“He won’t listen to me anyway.”As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ron Welch has heard many women in controlling marriages pour out their hearts. They feel trapped, helpless, stuck in a situation with no solution and no way out.
In this candid book, Welch offers real hope. He shows women how controlling husbands develop, why wives allow themselves to be controlled, and strategies to help both husband and wife change. Welch struggled as a controlling husband for years but found help and healing in his relationship with his wife. He uses that experience, as well as examples from the lives of the couples he’s worked with, to show women that just because “he’s always been this way” doesn’t mean their marriage must be that way forever. He teaches women valuable practical skills for coping with the challenges they face and transforming the power and control issues in their marriages.
For wives of controlling husbands, along with the friends and family members who love and are concerned about them, this is an essential resource. Counselors will also find it helpful as they work with hurting couples.

Disciples Together : Discipleship Learning And Small Groups
$35.99Discipleship is one of the key words used in the churches today and there are many initiatives in the mainstream churches to enable people to grow as disciples of Christ. Much of this happens in small groups, yet there has hitherto been very little written about this phenomenon.

It can be conceived as a critical friend to the movement rather than cheering it on, encouraging people to think and engage more deeply with theological, sociological and ecclesiological issues.

Finney On Revival
$17.99Finney wrote, A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of obedience to God.
Charles Finney brought forth God’s Word with a boldness and clarity that resulted in the salvation of more than half a million people, and over 85% of the people who found Christ through his ministry remained faithful to the Lord throughout their lives.G. Gilchrist Lawson wrote this about him, He was the greatest evangelist and theologian since the days of the apostles, and the reader of this Pure Gold Classic will understand why.
Finney said: The treasure is in Heaven. A pure heart cannot be a friend of the universe. The Christian warfare is a war between the will and Satan. To commit yourself to Christ implies that you merge yourself in Him–make Him your end of life–make His glory your supreme end in all you do. You merger your will in His will, so that, apart from Him, you will have no will of your own. You wish for nothing, save what pleases Him, The Bible teaches that sin is forgiven when it is repented of, but never while it is persisted in.
Charles Finney, as the above quotes reveal was blessed with a passion for souls, the fire of John the Baptist, and great zeal for the truth of God’s Word. Each chapter within this compelling book abounds with God-pleasing thoughts, anecdotes, suggestions, and words of encouragement that will produce a yearning and hunger in the reader for a true revival that will bring about true changes in people’s lives.

Recovering Redemption : A Gospel Saturated Perspective On How To Change
$16.99Recovering Redemption. What does it mean?
Recovering: Getting back, restoring.
Redemption: God’s plan of salvation, the gospel.
Because we have a tendency to drift from the gospel, we must be reoriented back to the gospel. We must recover a right understanding and application of the gospel. We must see that the gospel is the fuel for salvation and sanctification and the panacea to fix all things.
The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9
I can’t. God can.
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5
God meets you where you are.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Sacred Spaces : Stations On A Celtic Way (Revised)
$13.99A beautifully written, evocative exploration of the Celtic concept of ‘sacred space’
There are many books that explore actual, physical, sacred space and pilgrimage sites. This is a different kind of book. It introduces seven traditional ‘sacred spaces’ but then leads readers into a deeper reflection on what such ‘sacred space’ means in our own lives and experience. The various sacred spaces explored are: the Celtic Cross; the infinite knot; hilltops; wells and springs; causeways and bridges; thresholds and burial grounds; and boundaries. In each chapter, the author introduces a ‘sacred space’ as the main theme and then illustrates this by associating it with a particular stage of life and a particular sacramental experience. The ideas are then brought together by means of a scripture story.

Evidence For Hope
$10.99Do you ever wonder if there really is a God? Do you want to know–once and for all–whether we evolved or were created? Do you ask yourself if the Bible really contains truth or is loaded with errors? And what about Jesus? Did he really walk the earth?

Evidence for Hope boldly asks and answers the tough questions, building the case for biblical truth, based on historical, scientific and eyewitness evidence. If you’ve read other books on this subject but came away with questions, you’ll get them answered here in a way that is easy to understand. Whether you are a skeptic, a searcher, or a Christian, this book will bring you face to face with Jesus and the truth about who he is. And it will provide you with concise, memorable facts and references to back up what you learn here. The author, Robert Valiant, has gone through skeptical periods in his own life. A graduate of Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, he has been gathering evidence to strengthen his own faith for over twenty years. The results of his research and discovery are contained in this book.

PROOF : Finding Freedom Through The Intoxicating Joy Of Irresistible Grace
$22.99It’s time to open your eyes to the freeing power of authentic grace—grace that releases us from trying to earn God’s favor, grace that enables us to rest in the finished work of Christ, grace that liberates from the tyranny of trying to please others.
That’s what the theology of Martin Luther and John Calvin did in their own day for the people around them. Time magazine recently dubbed Calvinism as one of the top ten ideas changing the world right now. And yet most of these discussions center on the issue of predestination or on whether particular people agree with the five points of Calvinism. Daniel Montgomery and Timothy Paul Jones think it’s time to rescue the theology of the Reformers from such stale scholasticizing and to declare anew the dangerous and intoxicating joy of the gospel that they proclaimed.
PROOF stands for planned grace, resurrecting grace, outrageous grace, overcoming grace, and forever grace. The authors offer proof of God’s grace upon which people can stand against the attacks of legalism that have led many of God’s people to lose sight of the freedom and joy of the gospel. And this proof is intoxicating—it’s like a 200-proof drink that will leave you spiritually staggering at its effect on your life. God’s grace not only declares us ‘not guilty!’ in his presence, it changes our relationship with God—forever.?

Yawning At Tigers
$19.99In our increasingly shallow, self-centered world, quaint notions such as timeless truth and reverence for a holy, awe-inspiring God seem irretrievably lost. They’re not. Many of us have fashioned a domesticated deity-a casual, malleable source of love and good feelings as we define them-and yet our spiritual lives are sedate, dry, devoid of passion or purpose. Even so, today’s postmodern epidemic of rampant restlessness-and our failed, often destructive attempts to ease it-may be evidence of an ancient ache, a deep hunger for transcendence in all of us. Drew Nathan Dyck makes a compelling case that the more we all seek is available by knowing and worshiping the dangerous God of Scripture-a God who is paradoxically untamable and accessible, impossibly mysterious and intimately knowable, above and beyond our physical world yet powerfully present within it. He is a God who beckons us to see him with fresh eyes and let him lead us to a faith that is wild, adventurous, and rooted in a deep understanding of his eternal character. Yawning at Tigers charts a course away from the “safe” harbor of sanitized, predictable Christianity, into deeper waters where, yes, danger lurks, but where God’s majesty, love, and power finally become more real and transformative than we could have imagined.

Rise Of The Nones (Reprinted)
$26.25The single fastest growing religious group of our time is those who check the box next to the word none on national surveys. In America, this is 20 percent of the population. Exactly who are the unaffiliated? What caused this seismic shift in our culture? Are our churches poised to reach these people?
James Emery White lends his prophetic voice to one of the most important conversations the church needs to be having today. He calls churches to examine their current methods of evangelism, which often result only in transfer growth–Christians moving from one church to another–rather than in reaching the “nones.” The pastor of a megachurch that is currently experiencing 70 percent of its growth from the unchurched, White knows how to reach this growing demographic, and here he shares his ministry strategies with concerned pastors and church leaders.

Plain Faith : A True Story Of Tragedy Loss And Leaving The Amish
$15.99This is the true story of Ora-Jay and Irene Eash, Amish farmers from northwest Montana whose lives changed in an instant when a semi-truck struck the family buggy, killing their two young daughters. After the accident, the couple turned to their Amish community for comfort, but they remained haunted by the thought that they might not see their girls again in heaven. Would their deeds be good enough? Eventually Ora-Jay and Irene learned that grace—not works—was enough to ensure their place in eternity. But with that knowledge came the realization that they could no longer live in an Amish community that didn’t share this precious belief. Could they sever their connection to the Amish family they loved? This is the story of their journey to the hope that is heaven, a hope stronger than the loss of children, family, and a way of life. Fans of Amish fiction will appreciate such a real-life look into the Amish community, co-written by bestselling author Tricia Goyer, and readers of all kinds will resonate with this tale of courage, resilience, and the redemption found in the grace of Jesus.

Everybodys Normal Till You Get To Know Them
$18.99Normal? Who’s normal? Not you, that’s for sure! No one you’ve ever met, either. None of us are normal according to God’s definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that becomes. Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other. Community is more than just a word—it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for? In Everybody’s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, teacher and best-selling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick. You’ll get a thought-provoking look at God’s heart, at others, and at yourself. Even better, you’ll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways. With humor, insight, and a gift for storytelling, Ortberg shows how community pays tremendous dividends in happiness, health, support, and growth. It’s where all of us weird, unwieldy people encounter God’s love in tangible ways and discover the transforming power of being loved, accepted, and valued just the way we are. In Everybody’s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, Ortberg once again reveals his gift for sharing profound insights using a lighten-up approach. With winsome humor and a fondness for well-spun stories, he pops the myth of normalcy and hands us the keys to creating and sustaining relationships. Because in all the rewards and struggles of community, we’re investing in something beyond our comprehension. You could call it heaven. You could call it home. It’s the place where all of us are headed, all of us belong, and all of us will be normal at last.
