My Jonah Journey
$24.93My Jonah Journey: Developing an Attitude of Gratitude is the true story of Linda M. Brandt’s triumphant journey through a series of Job-like catastrophic experiences: the tragic death of her teenaged son, the discovery of a rare brain tumor and the precarious surgery that followed, the horrendous episode of spinal meningitis, and then her own near-death experience. For four minutes and with doctors working frantically, Linda lay heart-stopped and unbreathing on a cold hospital table next to the MRI tunnel where her son, Scottie, had been sent to bring her home. But God had other plans. Now for the first time in book form, Linda M. Brandt shares her three-year “Jonah journey,” describing how she replaced fear and despair with an attitude of gratitude as she learned to walk again, to drive, to paint, to undertake normal day-to-day activities, and then finally to do them alone. Of course, Linda is the first to say she never really was alone. Doctors told her, “We never see people like you again. They just go into their houses and go away.” But because of God’s grace, Linda’s was a different journey. My Jonah Journey: Developing an Attitude of Gratitude will inspire even the most skeptic among us and reveal the One who loves us very, very much.

Healing Hearts : A Leading Pediatric Heart Surgeon Learns About The Journey

The woman he ran into had lost her son in this hospital years earlier. Now she was working in the very place that had been unable to save her child’s life. Dr. Nikaidoh was stunned.

Healing Hearts shares eight mothers’ deeply honest and gut-wrenching journeys through grief-their pain, anger, attempts at solace with alcohol and bad relationships-as well as their decisions to honor their children by committing to lives of service. These stories, and that of the doctor with whom they share a unique bond, serve as testaments to God’s everlasting love and mercy, and guideposts on our own journeys of grief.

My Unforgettable Memories
$27.48My Unforgettable Memories: Watchman Nee and Shanghai Local Church This book is an astonishing reminiscence of a young Christian at the Shanghai Local Church under the Communist regime half century ago. At the church, the author went through raging storms of conflict. She was stunned by church failings and withdrew from God. Finally, by God’s grace, she committed herself to Him once again. With great courage, personal experience, and an assiduous exploration of SCA history, she discloses the major historical facts. Watchman Nee and his Local Church Movement have profoundly influenced the modern Chinese churches. Many Christians adore Nee’s preaching without knowing him as a person. A dense fog within the Local Church hinders historical transparency. It is a story of serious introspection of a precious spiritual heritage. Her purpose is to offer positive inspiration and important lessons for the Church today and generations to come. Lily M. Hsu MD was born in China and practiced medicine for decades. After coming to US in 1981 and completing clinical training, she practiced as a pediatric neurologist in Baton Rouge, LA in 1989-2006. Currently, she is retired and resides in the Dallas area. In the Western World, there is no other Chinese Christian leader more famous, influential and well-known than Watchman Nee. He is also the founder of the “Local Church”, a controversial church group in China and worldwide. This is the first biography of Watchman Nee written by an insider and eye-witness of his trial in 1956. Just like the weakness and sinful actions of King David has been candidly recorded in I Samuel, this book might be viewed as Watchman Nee’s “prophetic biography.” If anyone wishes to know who Nee is and to evaluate his writings fairly, this is a must-read book. Rev Tsu-Kung Chuang T. K. & True Light Ministry, Massachusetts

A Cy Young Award-winner, future Baseball Hall of Famer, and currently a broadcaster for his former team, the Atlanta Braves, Smoltz delivers a powerful memoir with the kind of fascinating insight into game that made Moneyball a runaway bestseller, plus a heartfelt and truly inspiring faith and religious conviction, similar to what illuminates each page of Tim Tebow’s smash hit memoir, Through My Eyes.

Miracles Of Francis Xavier
$11.76This book is an inspiring and historical look at the amazing life of Francis Xavier, missionary and pioneer to India, Sri Lanka, Malacca, Indonesia, the Islands of the Philippines and Japan. which includes a challenge to us to return to the supernatural ministry of Christ as outworked in ordinary men and women of God. In the brief years between 1541 and his death in 1552 Francis saw hundreds of thousands turn to Jesus; the miracles that followed his preaching of the gospel, included twenty eight people recorded as being raised from the dead and countless healings, and unusual signs and wonders, just like the book of Acts. King John 3rd of Portugal was the sender who mostly financed Francis mission, Francis was the one who went and encouraged countless hundreds of others to do the same. My hope is that this book will inspire your heart to the supernatural mission of the body of Christ, either as someone who goes, or as someone who sends. There are still millions who wait for the next Francis Xavier and you carry the same Holy Spirit as Francis did. May this book inspire you in your supernatural journey with Christ.

Answering The Call
$23.73A learned, respected, accomplished man leaves a life of worldly success to serve Christ among “the least of these.” Albert Schweitzer was a Renaissance man who basked in the utmost respect of the world’s intelligentsia. Schweitzer had doctorates in philosophy, theology, and medicine. He was a well-respected author, a concert organist, and a world authority on Bach. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. But he left a life of acclaim to pursue the God-given call to treat all life as sacred, especially in those places on the fringe-in Africa.
In what is now Gabon, people saw him daily with his stethoscope on a distended belly and heard him nightly performing classical music on his piano. In a time when many people feel small and inconsequential, Schweitzer’s life is a testimony to the power of one person’s sacrifice, purpose, and commitment to treat all God’s creations as sacred.

Foot In Two Worlds
$47.93After the untimely death of his son, a pastor learns he must find a balance between grief and Christian hope, ultimately discovering that embracing one does not diminish the other.

With God Youre Always A Winner
$18.73Brother Bill Frazier
A living testament to God’s Love and Grace
Bill Frazier showed up unannounced at a race in Talladega in 1970 with home-built Chapel-on-wheels, and like a missionary in a foreign land, started to minister to the race drivers, the crews and their families.
Person-by-person, and race-by-race, Bill Frazier earned the trust and respect of people who lived a fast paced life, and were considered by many “church-goers” beyond redemption.
And Brother Bill, as the racers came to call him, found that there were many God fearing men in the racing world, including the sports super-stars. Men like Richard Petty and Bobby Allison, who quickly adopted Bill Frazier’s Ministry, and helped it to grow.
But the story of Bill Frazier’s life is a story of battling personal demons. Bill was an unlikely candidate when God rescued him from a turbulent life style, as Bill became living proof that “it’s through Him that I can do all things”.
Bill’s effectiveness at establishing a full time ministry in Stock Car racing is still appreciated by many. As for Bill Frazier’s style, Richard Petty put it best;
“Bill came in with his people, not above them. The only difference between Bill and the crews in the pits, was that Bill would get up and preach on Sundays”

From Orphan To Physician
$14.95Healthy Life Press
Those who do not know me that well know only that I graduated from Princeton and Harvard, and that I am the Chief of Cardiology and Assistant Physician-In-Chief of a medical center. Usually people are very surprised when I tell them I grew up in an orphanage…. As I reflect on my life, I can see many twists and turns.
The most comforting thing is that God chose me to be His child even before I knew Him. When I lost my earthly father, He stepped in to fill the void and become my heavenly Father. At different stages of my life, He sent different people to help me out. When I fell, He lifted me up. When I strayed from Him, He gently guided me back to the right path…. I want to share my life story with others not because I am rich and famous, or that I have anything of which I can boast, but because I am convinced that God has a perfect plan for each of us. There is a reason He allows all the twists and turns, crossroads and tunnels in each of our lives.

Other Side Of Suffering (Large Type)
$21.99The untold story of how John Ramsey survived unspeakable tragedy and learned to hope again.
Like the biblical Job, John Ramsey had it all-wealthy, social position, a loving family. And like Job, Ramsey was destined for great affliction, as many of the most precious things in his life were cruelly taken from him. First came the death of his eldest daughter in a car accident in 1992. Then, four years later, his beloved six-year-old, JonBenet, was murdered; Ramsey was the one who discovered her body, concealed in the basement of his family’s home. The case drew international media attention, and-compounding Ramsey’s woe-suspicion unfairly focused on Ramsey and his wife, Patsy. Although they were ultimately cleared of any connection with the crime, Ramsey’s sorrows did not end. In 2006, Patsy died, at 49, of ovarian cancer. In this remarkable book, Ramsey reveals how he was sustained by faith during the long period of spiritual darkness, and he offers hope and encouragement to others who suffer tragedy and injustice.

Abraham Kuyper : Modern Calvinist Christian Democrat
$45.99In this first full-scale English biography of Abraham Kuyper, the highly influential religious and political leader of Dutch Calvinists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, historian James D. Bratt draws connections between the life and thought of Kuyper and current debates in America today. Bratt’s study covers Kuyper’s early years, his development as a person, his various leadership roles and spheres of influence, and the considerable ongoing impact of his ideas. A convinced Calvinist and a distinctly modern public figure, Kuyper held a wide variety of roles over the course of his life — minister, newspaper editor, educational innovator, politician, religious reformer, and prime minister of the Netherlands (1901-1905). Kuyper’s life demonstrates how devotees of any faith can carry on a responsible public life in contention — and concert — with people of other convictions.

Day Satan Called (Large Type)
$19.99THE DAY SATAN CALLED is Bill Scott’s account of an excruciating 18-month period in his life. Out of Christian love he and his wife invited a young lady who was demon possessed and the member of an active satanic network into their home. They prayed the sinner’s prayer with her and believed that they could help redeem someone who had witnessed and experienced unimaginable rituals and abuses. What happened instead were death threats and the loss of their home as a sanctuary. Voices. Threats. Objects falling and moving. Strange visitors and callers. A loving church falling into turmoil. And yes the voice of Satan. Every day was filled with the dread of nightfall. Once you’ve invited someone filled with demons that aren’t leaving her into your home what do you next? Where do you send her? How do you protect yourself and your family? What do you do after she’s finally gone but the demons haven’t left? This is the account of a terrifying and incredible phenomenon. But ultimately, it is a testament to the power of God’s love, even over evil spirits.

Boundless Blessings And Gods Grace
$18.60People Cynthia encountered on her breast cancer journey profoundly changed her perspective on life. They were varied ages and came from different circumstances, but the common thread they had was the fear when hearing the word “cancer.” Often she was a reluctant participant during her walk, knowing she had no choice if she intended to win her battle. She encouraged others with her smile, positive attitude, words, and actions.
Cynthia understands that within each of us is a fighting spirit, and hopefully, a recognition that we are not in total control of our lives; God is, and he will determine our passage from this world. Until then, we need to accept the difficulties that we encounter in our lives with dignity, grace, determination, and knowing that God is constantly by our side.
With the incredible support and prayers of an army of compassionate people, and God’s grace and blessings, Cynthia is a breast cancer survivor today!

If You Get There Before I Do
$41.32Storm Clouds Gathering …
In contrast to these busy first few weeks of establishing back-to-school routines, as well as the uncertainty of medical tests for Kjrsten, I reflected back on the quiet respite we’d had over the past summer.
One of our favorite summer activities was to sit on the long, covered front porch of our home and watch the storms as they rolled in from the west across Clear Creek. We’d listen for the thunder and see the lightning striking at the bottom of the hill as the storm climbed upward and through the cornfield to the edge of our yard. We were relieved as it rumbled noisily over the top of our house without leaving any damage as it continued its steady march to the east.
Little did we know what kind of storm was brewing for our perfect little family.

Rolling Pennies In The Dark
$15.99A heartbreaking and inspirational memoir of one man s journey from abject childhood poverty and abuse to a high-level career as a White House writer.
This very personal memoir is both heartbreaking and highly inspirational. In it, Douglas MacKinnon weaves his astounding story as a desperately poor child and his triumphant transition from abject squalor to White House writer who now has the political influence to change the system especially as it affects children.
With humor, compassion, faith, and brutal honesty, Douglas MacKinnon writes eloquently of the pain of being unloved and neglected, and of his victorious struggle to overcome his past. But this book is more than the story of one man s personal journey; it is a memoir with a “message.” Through this message, the author not only inspires readers to move beyond their own difficulties, he also calls both political parties to task for their shameful neglect of tens of millions of Americans. You ll be riveted to the story, moved to compassion, and inspired to see the world through new eyes.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
