Gospel Uncensored : How Only Grace Leads To Freedom
$23.93“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” Many people have been taught that Christianity is a religion in which you must do certain things in order to receive certain benefits, and that you must do more and try harder to be accepted. The truth is, faith in Jesus is enough. Any attempt to add anything-even good works- to this simple good news is to lose the Gospel completely. Blue and Swan look at Paul’s letter to the Galatians and how his passionate case for the simple gospel of grace applies to many of the issues facing the church today. As one reviewer stated, “‘The Gospel Uncensored’ is a fervent book on the grace of God and how this gracious work of Christ leads to freedom. It is a heartfelt plea to the reader to get over ‘Jesus plus religion’ and come back to ‘Jesus plus nothing.’ For it is in Jesus and Him alone that we have freedom.” It’s time to be free.

Costly Grace : A Contemporary View Of Bonhoeffers The Cost Of Discipleship
$15.99In 1937, on the threshold of Nazi Germany’s war on the world, Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote what turned out to be one of the most influential books of the century, The Cost of Discipleship. In it, he challenged the flabby faith and compromises of German Christians, famously writing, When Christ calls a man he bids him come and die. Now, seventy-three years after the book was first published, Jon Walker writes Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship.
Walker brings to a new generation the timeless message of Bonhoeffer against the background of today’s political upheaval and societal change and what it means to those who claim to follow Christ’s teachings.

In The Sanctuary Of Women
$22.99The soft melodic story of women in scripture unfolds through the prayers and reflections crafted by an artist, a writer, a woman deeply aware of the need for women to connect to God in daily conversation. Each chapter of readings is based on a woman from Jewish or Christian history and how her story intertwines with the faith journey of women today. With this book, Jan Richardson, author of the best-selling book Sacred Journeys, considers how women have embodied and passed along the Word from generation to generation and how women of this generation draw upon that wisdom in our daily lives and connect with women who have sought God’s wisdom.

Out Of Babylon
$17.99It was the center of learning, commerce, wealth, and religion. Devoted to materialism, extravagance, luxury, and the pursuit of sensual pleasure, it was a privileged society. But, there was also injustice, poverty, oppression. It was the great and ancient Babylon-the center of the universe. And now we now find Babylon redux today in Western society. Consumer capitalism, a never-ending cycle of working and buying, a sea of choices produced with little regard to life or resources, societal violence, marginalized and excluded people, a world headed toward climactic calamity. Where are the prophets-the Jeremiah-to lead the way out of the gated communities of overindulgence, the high rises of environmental disaster, and the darkness at the core of an apostate consumer society?
Walter Brueggemann-a scholar, a preacher, a prophetic voice in our own time-challenges us again to examine our culture, turn from the idols of abundance and abuse, and turn to lives of meaning and substance.

Is Hearing Enough
$16.45Is Hearing Enough? makes the case for including literacy in evangelism and discipleship efforts in developing nations like India. Drawing on over 20 years of cross-cultural ministry experience, Don Edwards offers an insightful look at literacy’s key role in building a strong, healthy body of believers. Edwards looks at the crippling effects of illiteracy, examines Scripture’s view of literacy, and explains literacy’s value as a door-opener in communities that are resistant to traditional evangelism.
The Great Commission commands us to “go and make disciples of all nations.” Likewise, we are called to fulfill the Great Compassion: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Both are expressions of Jesus’ love for people. Readers will be challenged to share the gift of literacy as a tangible act of obedience to Jesus’ two “Great” commandments.
Don Edwards first visited India in 1984. The very first morning of that trip on October 31, the Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi, was assassinated. From that moment, God planted the nation of India in Edwards’ heart. This led to his involvement in church planting efforts with indigenous missions and churches for the last 14 years. Edwards has a Doctor of Ministry degree in Missions and Cross-Cultural Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and a Masters of Religious Education degree from Grand Rapids Theological Seminary.

Can You Hear Me
$19.98It is not hard to hear the voice of the Lord if you are willing to stop long enough and listen, it’s there, always has been always will be. It is that still small voice. The problem is so many are too busy listening to everything else that they have crowded out His voice. The bible tells us; “his sheep follow him because they know his voice.” That is like me saying my son knows my voice. When I call him he knows it is his mom. The more time you spend with someone the more you will learn to recognize their voice. The same is true with God, once you learn to recognize His voice you will then be able to hear it above all the other noise. In fact it will be all around you and in everything. As you read this book, I pray you will learn to hear His voice within these pages, and as you hear Him speaking to you that you will not only listen but obey what He is telling you to do.

Invitation To Solitude And Silence
$25.99Winner of a Christianity Today Book Award! Much of our faith and practice is about words–preaching, teaching, talking with others. Yet all of these words are not enough to take us into the real presence of God where we can hear his voice. This book is an invitation to you to meet God deeply and fully outside the demands and noise of daily life. It is an invitation to solitude and silence. The beauty of a true invitation is that we really do have a choice about embarking on this adventure. God extends the invitation, but he honors our freedom and will not push himself where he is not wanted. Instead, he waits for us to respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes? This expanded edition includes a guide for groups to use both in discussing the book content and in learning to practice silence together.

Story Of God The Story Of Us
$22.00Before the Bible was a book it was flesh and blood. “The ever present ache of exile rises above the comforting sounds of the river, as the image of the house of the LORD in ruins breaks the peace. . . . Despite the warmth of the fire, he feels a chill. He wraps his cloak around him and looks into the eager faces of his people, then closes his eyes. ‘Picture this scene . . .'” Travel with Sean Gladding between the lines of the Scriptures to listen in on the conversations of people wrestling with the Story we have received.
Whether sitting around a campfire in Babylon, reclining at table in Asia Minor or huddled together by candlelight in Rome, we meet people encountering the Story for the first time and for the hundred and first time. With them we hear a tale that is at once both familiar and surprising.
A book that can be read alone but preferably with others, here is an account of Scripture that introduces us to people who remind us of ourselves, because as much as the Bible is a story about God, it’s also a story about us.

Exodus From Hunger
$22.00It is within America’s technical and financial power to help end world hunger in our lifetime, if we set our hearts and minds to the task.
Contrary to what many people believe, the world has made measurable advancements against hunger and poverty over the last several decades. But too often the binding constraint on further progress is a simple lack of political will. As a result, one of the most powerful ways to affect change is often the most neglected–political activism.
In this powerful and hopeful book, David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and a leading anti-hunger activist, looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and puts a human face on the problem by sharing stories of people who are, quite simply, hungry every day. The problems can seem overwhelming but Beckmann lays out a clear and workable plan for effectively using political channels to make great progress. He not only challenges us to get involved, he shows us how.
It is no less than our call to do so.

Holiness The Key To Revival
$19.98This book is to bring hope, encouragement and fresh vision to the Church.
It is for Christians who are:
* Frustrated – but believing.
* ‘Saved – but stuck’ (‘stuck’ in ‘the wilderness’).
* Forgiven – but not in victory.
* Disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, doubting damaged, defeated and/or desperate.
* Hungry for more of God.For sincere Christians, holiness is usually an aspiration which is only vaguely dreamt about, but with no real concrete, proven direction to follow. Many of God’s people recognize that holiness is a commandment of God……but – how do we become holy and walk in holiness and, is it possible?
This book has the answer – based on the Word of God and testimonies of past saints who did walk in holiness and, through whose lives God was able to move, often bringing revival and thousands of souls to the Lord.
Lack of teaching on this vital doctrine of Experiential Sanctification is a major reason why the Church is not walking in holiness and victory. The lateness of the hour and days in which we live surely spur us on to seek our God with all our hearts, and cry, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God’. ‘Holiness – the Key to Revival’ will enlighten and excite the believer to experience a more effective personal Christian Life.

Job And The Gospel Of Suffering
$53.11This read will quicken the steps in the way of the Lord, lift the head in expectation, assurance and hope, and cause the heart to rejoice (Paulinian Boast) in the merciful, gracious and unchanging (predictable and reliable) GOOD ALMIGHTY.
This work tackles some traditional and absurd teachings on the Book of Job along with that accompanying “Gospel of Suffering,” which some have built to support these teachings. It removes the darkness from God’s character and sets the disciple of Christ free to stand in the light of a good God who does not tempt (test or try) his saints. It shows that the statement by the young Elihu, that God will not afflict, is not only true in itself, but is the unfailing word of God.
All readers, from the young Christian to the elder, will come away with a joyful freshness in the knowledge of the true Sovereignty of God. And burdens carried long now, and unnecessarily, will fall from many.

Surviving In An Angry World
$17.99The premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger-and ultimately forgiving the offender-will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as “a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you.” Building on this defintion, Stanley…
1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves.
2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical.
3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps.
4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings.
With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is “the size of thing that makes them angry.” He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that “righteous indignation” is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

Jesus You Cant Ignore
$19.99Best-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren’t the complete picture. Maybe because it’s uncomfortable, or maybe because it’s inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior and His passionate mission to make the gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. This mission required that he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip. In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus’ ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus’ commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

Why Business Matters To God
$26.99Jeff Van Duzer grew up thinking business was the source of much damage and evil in the world, the work of greedy capitalists polluting the environment. Thirty years later he was dean of a business school. In the course of that remarkable transformation, Van Duzer found cause for both hope and concern. He discovered many business people achieving a great deal of good for society as well as a lot of illegal and unethical behavior. Along the way he found some who thought that merely being honest and kind was what made business Christian. Others said they’d never ask pastors for business advice because they had no interest or experience in their work. After all, wasn’t “full-time Christian service” what the church was all about? This book explores the nature and meaning of doing business and finds it calls for much more than most think. Van Duzer presents a profoundly Christian approach that integrates biblical studies with the disciplines of business and economics. Looking beyond the place of ethical principles and the character of the individual, Van Duzer displays a vision of business that contributes to the very purposes of God.

Pursuit Of The Holy
$15.99“Be holy as I am holy,” says the Lord.
It’s the most extravagant-and audacious-invitation ever sent: Or in the words of Jesus: “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” But can that really happen? Is holiness an achievable goal for sinful human beings? That’s the ultimate focus of this thoughtful, thorough, and engaging study of what it means to be holy. Drawing on the Bible and Christian thinkers through the ages, Simon Ponsonby affirms that because of God’s gracious love and desire for communion with us, he has done what is possible for us not only to pursue holiness, but to achieve it. While we can never count on attaining moral perfection in this life, we need not settle for less than increasing victory over sin. And as more and more Christians choose to partner with God in the ongoing process of sanctification, we set the stage for revival.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Discerning And Defeating The Ahab Spirit (Reprinted)
$18.82In the Old Testament, Jezebel was married to Ahab, king of Israel. Ahab ceded his power to his wife, acquiescing to her control and becoming passive. In the same way today, people demonstrating the control and domination of the Jezebel spirit compel people into the passivity of an Ahab spirit, whether in a marital situation, a church, or any other relationship.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Using sound biblical teaching and real-life illustrations–some from his own life–bestselling author Steve Sampson shows readers how to discern and defeat the spirit of Ahab, Jezebel’s ancient ally. It is possible to be assertive in a godly way, and Sampson’s teaching will motivate believers trapped in passivity to claim their freedom and become a positive force for change.

Caso Del Jesus Verdadero – (Spanish)
$16.99A journalist investigates the most recent attacks against the identity of Christ. The figure of Jesus has become the target of an intellectual war, and receives continuous attacks from different flanks: classrooms in universities, bestsellers, and the internet. These violent attacks against the traditional image of Christ have confused many people with spiritual inquiries and have sown doubt among many Christians. But, what happens if we submit all these radical affirmations and revisionist theories to a detailed test? In The Case For the Real Jesus, awarded legal editor Strobel asks polemic questions like: Did the church hide ancient extra-biblical documents that offered a more approximate picture of Jesus than the four gospels? Did the church distort the truth about Jesus, manipulating the ancient texts of the New Testament? Is it true that new discoveries and explanations discredit the resurrection? Are the new arguments that say that Jesus is not the Messiah true? Has Christianity acquired its basic ideas from mythology? It evaluates the arguments and evidence that prominent atheists, liberal theologians, Muslim academics and others have presented. He examines them carefully, and then renders his own verdict on The Case for the Real Jesus.

Do you long for a closer connection to God?
To talk to Him and hear His voice?
To follow His instructions, if only you knew what He was saying?For many of us, talking to God sometimes feels like sending words out into empty space. And hearing from God as the biblical prophets did may seem like an ancient fairy tale.
But Becky Tirabassi shares that it really is possible to hear from God. In fact, God longs to talk to us. He loves us and wants to communicate with us, just as we desire to communicate with those we love. You’ll discover how to develop a conversational relationship with God, one where you can both talk to and hear from God.
You’ll see that God is talking all the time, and there’s no special prayer to pray or requirements to meet in order to hear from Him. Becky shows the many ways that God talks to us and how God has spoken to her in big and small ways, saying things that have redirected her day or changed her entire life. You can hear from God, too. When we set aside the time and focus our hearts on God every day, God talks to us.

Abide In Christ
$15.70Bottom Of The Hill Publishing Publication
Christ beckons us to His banqueting table offering a room in His house, it is up to us whether we choose to step inside. To step though means to abide in Him and experience the unspeakable joy of dwelling 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. “Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” –1 John 2:28 “And now, to all God’s children whom He allows me the privilege of pointing to the Heavenly Vine, I offer my fraternal love and salutations, with the prayer that to each one of them may be given the rich and full experience of the blessedness of abiding in Christ. And may the grace of Jesus, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be their daily portion. Amen.” Andrew Murray was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be “the chief end of the church.” He was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM) later becoming the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965.

Genesis And Life
$21.86Cleve Jones understands that so many people when facing many of the issues of life do not have the resources to get the help they need. Some problems are beyond the skill set of some pastors and churches. Sometimes people need a “quick hitter” to help them through the issue of the day and something inspirational, and thought provoking enough to get them to begin mentally processing about long term solutions. If this book can reach some people within that context, it will have served one of its purposes.

Step Stones : To The Second Greatest Commandment
$22.48He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Luke 10: 27-28
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. James 2: 8
I fear that Christians have gotten so caught up within our society that we have forgotten the first and second greatest commandments. In so doing we do ourselves more harm, yet it is our collective selfishness and stubbornness that keeps us from acknowledging that we are nothing without God. We are not doing right and I fear that many will not live. I also fear that many do not know what love is because we have misused the word so often. Step Stones is the path that God led me down when I needed to discover what love really is. My prayers are that it is not too late for our society; that Christians can be the ones leading us to a right standing so that we can we can be forgiven. We must first get back to the basics of what we are called to do. It all comes down to not what God can do for me, but what can I do to further the Kingdom of God. Only love true love will lead us out of this mess we are in.

AcknowledgmentsAdditional Info
In his third and final book in the Apprentice Series, James Bryan Smith helps us know how to live in relationship with others as apprentices of Jesus. “Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders,” he writes. “They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live.” Yet many times we’ve gotten it wrong, tending to emphasize personal faith over social justice or vice versa. In these pages Jim Smith shows us how to bring spiritual formation and community engagement together, and then once again offers spiritual practices that root new, true narratives about God and the world in our souls. His insight and humility as a fellow learner with us will lead us to live in authentic ways as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers, shining the light of the Spirit into every relationship.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
