Domestic Violence : Assault On A Womans Worth
$5.99God designed the marriage relationship to benefit one another. He intended married couples to love, honor, and cherish each other all the days of their lives, but life doesn’t always turn out that way. In some relationships, cruelty has replaced the sacred relationship defined by God. The Domestic Violence mini-book outlines a Christian approach to help you identify and stop physical and emotional abuse.
Experts estimate that 1-in-3 women suffer from some form of violence from a husband, boyfriend, or relative. In too many homes around the world, the marriage bond has become bondage-shared lives have become shattered by abuse. Husbands berate, belittle, and betray their wives. Yet these secret assaults stay hidden from the outside world. One mate harming the other has undermined the sacred relationship created by God.
Any form of abuse is a flagrant violation of the marriage vows, To have and to hold from this day forward,”to love and to cherish, ’til death do us part.” And although such abuse is too frequently behind closed doors, it is blatantly in the open before the eyes of the Lord.
Included in the mini-book Domestic Violence: Assault on a Woman’s Worth are abuse checklists with a list of behaviors that you may have observed or experienced. God has a heart for those who are victims of domestic violence. He wants you to know that he hears your cries; he thinks you are worthy of love without violence, and he holds you in the palm of his hand. Learn the causes of violent behavior and the reasons many women won’t leave abusive relationships.
In the section titled, “Steps to Solution,” June Hunt gives many tools:
*How to answer a person who claims that violence is justified.
*How to know whether the abuser has really changed
*How to build healthy boundaries
*How to prepare a safety plan
*How to use the law in the United States
*And much more.This mini-book is a quick overview and is easy-to-understand. It focuses on the key issues and is perfect for the busy person who needs instant advice.

Touching The Hem
$14.98How should you respond to suffering? What does God say about healing?
What Does God Say About suffering? As humans, we are bound to suffer physical affliction on this earth. However, as Christians, what should our response be to that affliction?
Should we simply accept it and stoically go on with our lives? Seek help through prayer, but reject medicine? Attend dramatic healing services? Does God still heal sickness today? If so, how do we access His healing?
Touching the Hem considers these questions and more. It starts with a thorough look upward at God-who He claims to be, what He has done for us in the past, and what He promises to do in the future. It then looks at our circumstances, observing physical affliction through the lens of God’s Word. Only then does it turn the gaze inward, considering our response to physical suffering, and how to live according to biblical principles.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

By Grace Alone (Reprinted)
$22.35Believers and nonbelievers alike have been wounded by the sharp barbs of legalism. In a fresh take on a timely topic, beloved preacher Derek Prince offers a new way to understand the problem of legalism in the church–and how we can free ourselves from it.
Using the biblical characters of Cain and Abel, Prince shows how a faith consumed with upholding the law leads to bitterness, judgment, and selfish actions. He demonstrates that we can never live up to the letter of the law, and that striving for perfection keeps us from experiencing the freeing power of grace. In the upside-down kingdom, says Prince, it is only through embracing grace that we are able to keep the “righteous requirement of the law” as we were commanded.

Dealing With Anger
$19.36Is Anger Controlling You? Or, Are You Controlling It? Who’s in the driver’s seat? If you are allowing anger to be behind the wheel, you are headed for a crash! Every experienced driver and passenger of a vehicle knows that the person driving has full control of the vehicle. If you are a reckless driver, the probability of an accident is great! If you are perfectly poised, agile, and alert while driving, not only will your probability of maintaining control be better, but also you will be in a better position to avoid the dangers of nearby reckless drivers. Anger the reckless driver… Anger can be as dangerous as a reckless driver behind the wheel if you allow it to control you. Just like bad driving can lead to awful tragedies that might harm the driver, the passenger, or an innocent bystander, uncontrolled anger can lead to a major collision in your life as well as in others. Being in full control helps you to be alert to your own combustible emotions as well as those of others. In doing so, we avoid crashes, clashes, and serious collisions brought on by anger. Anger the passenger… That is why anger should never be in the driver’s seat. It should only be a passenger. A passenger is driven to a certain destination and then dropped off by the driver, who is in full control of the vehicle. Even when anger is necessary, it should ride only as a passenger going to an appropriate destination and then…let out! Always put yourself in the driver’s seat with full control, while being poised and sober. Carry anger only for a limited amount of time. Then, let it go! This book will give you insight and a unique strategy of recognizing legitimate, illegitimate, and optional anger, as well as understanding their emotion’s vulnerabilities so that you can remain in the driver’s seat with full control.

Love Into Light
$16.23Homosexuality is one of most controversial moral issues of our day. Headlines teem with stories of athletes “coming out,” politicians changing positions and courts handing down same-sex marriage rulings. Sadly the church has often been afraid to talk about homosexuality. Many Christians feel confused and divided between the call to love and the call for truth. And many who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction feel alone and alienated by the church. The time is ripe for God’s people to think and speak about same-sex attraction in a way that is both biblical and beneficial. We must reject our fears and misunderstandings and see ourselves together in need of the grace of Jesus. Love Into Light is designed to move the church toward that end. Written from the heart of a pastor with a love for people and a sensitivity to our culture, Love Into Light is your next step toward becoming more faithfully and helpfully engaged with people in your families, in your church and in your neighborhood.

Scarred Faith : This Is A Story About How Honesty, Grief, A Cursing Toddler
$14.99In an original and thought-provoking work, Pastor Josh Ross invites us to enter into the suffering around us-and to embrace our scars and God’s restoring work.
While many books declare God a great liberator, Pastor Josh Ross reminds us that He is also a God who enters into the sufferings of the world, bringing the message of hope that many need in their darkest hours. Scarred Faith meditates on this profound idea, showing how the doubts and pain within us can actually aid deep faith.Faith can be stirred within the walls of church buildings, but it is formed and nourished in the waiting rooms of hospitals, while holding kids affected by AIDS, and when being forced to venture outside one’s social comforts. Deep faith is scarred faith-the story of scripture depicts a rended world in which God works to repair our brokenness. As Pastor Ross reminds us, often what we need isn’t a God who will deliver us from a pit as much as a God who will get down into a pit with us. In Scarred Faith, he offers an unforgettable message: Grief opens us up to the greater suffering around us, allowing participation in God’s story of restoration. It is this partnership that makes our doubts and pain allies of deep faith, opening our hearts to allow redemption in spite of all the questioning.
Reflective and heartfelt, this contemplation of social justice and the opportunity offered by suffering will change the way many Christians view themselves and their world.

Like Father Like Sons
$21.23WAS YOUR FATHER GENEROUS, GENTLE & GRACIOUS?
Your Heavenly Father is. The problem is that we see the Father through our earthly father. We are all given lenses at some point in our childhood, and we still wear them even as we begin to parent our own children. The lenses gray our understanding of the Father. Who is He? What does He think of me? Does He accept me? Is He proud of me? What does He want from me?
Herein lies the beauty of the gospel: In Christ, our lenses are removed so we can clearly see the Father, and, in Christ, the Father puts on lenses and sees us through His perfect Son!
This means that in the Gospel we can see what the Father is like. God the Father not only exemplifies fatherhood, but He empowers us in the Gospel to father like Him. If we can see the Father, we can image the father to our children.
So what is the Father like?
Let s remove the lenses and see.

Strengthen your armor with the foundations of spiritual warfare from a Messianic Rabbi: * Choice is what you get when you choose correctly. * Commit to obey and covenant with God so that you will hear Him. * Obedience is when you seek to do that which He has commanded you this day. * Scripture says to hear and do. * I can be humble only when I understand that all that I have is from God. * Come to God as a child. * I must forgive because God said so; I must forgive myself. Did you know the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 is ‘eshet chayil’, a warrior wife? What is the difference between Christ’s words from the cross and David’s cry? Find a weapon for today — in the book of Numbers! These and more insights from this spirit-filled teaching will uplift you. Messianic Rabbi Moshe Laurie hosted Spiritual Warfare on Christian television, and his radio program Truth in Life is broadcast over the air and on the Internet. Before he received the Messiah when the Lord spoke to him audibly, he was a warrior in the flesh. He served in the US Marine Corps, the Israeli National Police and the Israel Defense Forces. When he asked the Lord what to do, he received the word, “The disciplines of the flesh shall be the disciplines of the spirit. Dare in my name as I show you.” He is a teacher of spiritual warfare and leads a Messianic congregation. Mary Elliott is the author of Living Isaiah 54 and a conference leader. Martha Laurie, a.k.a. “The Bride,” received a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Master’s degrees in both History and Education. She retired early to assist her husband in the ministry.

My Romance With God
$23.93Our relationship with God tends to be complicated because He knows us only too well while we are limited in our knowledge and to our ignorance of God. As a result, our bond with Him strains as it weaves in and out of an ambivalent and whimsical love-hate relationship.
This book is for Christians who are confused, lost and entangled in this intricate web with God. Having our faith constantly challenged, we find ourselves tired and mired in a relationship that seems to be running out of steam. The daily battles we fight to survive are more than we can handle, let alone having to deal with an unpredictable and unfathomable God.
My Romance with God chronicles an episode in my life that reveals a glimpse of God. It captures pieces of an intangible portrait that paints an enigmatic yet vibrant relationship that can prove overwhelming, and yet quenching the thirst and satisfying the hunger of our spirit. Knowing the Word is good. Understanding it is even better. But living it is best, because it is only by living the Word that one can truly believe.
I know that God spoke to me through these pages. I know that He will also speak to those who read it.
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like Eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

Encouragement : The Unexpected Power Of Building Others Up
$17.99Encouragement is more than a compliment or a pat on the back. It’s a skill that can be mastered by anyone. What must we know in order to fulfill the biblical exhortation to ‘encourage one another’?
Encouragement: The Key to Caring tells you. Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as:
– developing a careful selection of encouraging words
– cultivating active listening skills
– using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings
– recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement— Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people’s defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals who practice it.

Men And Women

Come And Learn Of Me
$23.47Come and Learn of Me
Pastor Monteria of CLM Ministries, Int’l, in sharing the message of Jesus according to Matthew 11:28-30, states that Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
There are many basic benefits that belong to us as Christians. Many Christians have an understanding of Salvation, and that is limited to eternal life. For many Christians, eternal life is what they look forward to when they depart from this world into eternity. In studying the Word of God, one can see that eternal life begins the moment you are saved, and there are many benefits of salvation that are to be enjoyed now, as part of our daily life.
Jesus said: “Come unto Me; I will give you rest for your soul, My Yoke is easy, and my
burden is light”Pastor Monteria shows the necessary steps that one must take to grow from being a baby in Christ to becoming a mature Christian. Some of your basic questions will be answered about the love of God, the peace of God, and a greater understanding of the Kingdom of God. Also, if you desire to mature spiritually, this is covered in Section Two. This book offers insight and encouragement that will ignite you with a passion to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ better and to study His Word daily.

Clean : A Proven Plan For Men Committed To Sexual Integrity
$19.99A leading expert in sexual addiction recovery offers Christian men a clear path to wholeness and victory.
The American church is in the battle of its life. Sexual addiction has grown into a serious problem in nearly every local church, regardless of denomination. The proliferation of explicit material on the internet, cable television, and various forms of multimedia has fueled this rise. Unlimited access is now available to anyone with an internet connection. Christian men caught in this addiction feel ashamed and trapped in a cycle of sin. Fearful of losing their families and reputations, very few find the courage to step forward and ask for help.
With more than twenty years of counseling experience, Dr. Weiss offers a proven path to purity in Clean and gives men the tried and true tools they need to find freedom for a lifetime. Clean also offers a unique theological perspective on the true nature of this battle. The enemy of our souls uses sexual addiction as a distraction to keep believers from pursuing their God-given purpose. However, as Dr. Weiss pulls back the curtain on this charade, men will discover the power of God’s love to restore their souls and reclaim their lives.

Divine Commodity : Discovering A Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity
$22.99The challenge facing Christianity today is not a lack of motivation or resources, but a failure of imagination. A growing number of people are disturbed by the values exhibited by the contemporary church. Worship has become entertainment, the church has become a shopping mall, and God has become a consumable product. Many sense that something is wrong, but they cannot imagine an alternative way. The Divine Commodity finally articulates what so many have been feeling and offers hope for the future of a post-consumer Christianity. Through Scripture, history, engaging narrative, and the inspiring art of Vincent van Gogh, The Divine Commodity explores spiritual practices that liberate our imaginations to live as Christ’s people in a consumer culture opposed to the values of his kingdom. Each chapter shows how our formation as consumers has distorted an element of our faith. For example, the way churches have become corporations and how branding makes us more focused on image than reality. It then energizes an alternative vision for those seeking a more meaningful faith. Before we can hope to live differently, we must have our minds released from consumerism’s grip and captivated once again by Christ.

Radical Forgiveness : Gods Call To Unconditional Love
$16.99Are you really sure you understand God’s viewpoint about forgiveness and mercy?
If Christianity is to be a compelling and relevant voice in the twenty-first century, it needs a fresh message-not a new innovation or novel interpretation, but a return to our roots. If Christianity is not about forgiveness, it’s about nothing at all.
In this book readers will be confronted with the stark reality of how deeply we need to reach within to really show Christlike forgiveness and mercy to those to whom we may feel least inclined to offer forgiveness or mercy. The author’s primary motive in writing this book is to help recover the true beauty of Christianity as found in forgiveness.
This book begins with the Holocaust as it explores what forgiveness means-and how far it should go-in the real world of murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, and other atrocities. It pushes the reader beyond the usual biblical exposition of the topic of forgiveness and challenges their thinking by juxtaposing absolutely bottom-line kinds of examples with the simple question: What would you do?
