Great Passion : An Introduction To Karl Barths Theology
$37.99Widely regarded as the twentieth century’s greatest theologian, Karth Barth refocused the task of Christian theology and demonstrated its relevance to every domain of human life, from the spiritual to the social to the political. It is precisely the broad sweep of Barth’s theology that makes a book like The Great Passion of such great value – a succinct yet comprehensive introduction to Barth’s entire theological program. Of the many people who write on the life and thought of Karl Barth, Eberhard Busch is uniquely placed. A world-renowned expert on Barth’s theology, he also served as Barth’s personal assistant from 1965 to 1968. As Busch explains, one cannot fully understand Barth the theologian apart from understanding Barth the man. In this book he weaves doctrine and biography into a superb presentation of Barth’s complete work. Busch’s purpose in this introduction is to guide readers through the main themes of the multivolume Church Dogmatics against the horizon of our own times and problems. In ten sections Busch clearly explains Barth’s views on all of the major subject areas of systematic theology: the nature of revelation, Israel and Christology, the Trinity and the doctrine of predestination, the “problem” of religion, gospel and law, creation, salvation, the Holy Spirit, ecclesiology, and eschatology. A distinctive feature of the book is the way Busch lets Barth speak for himself, often through surprising quotations and paraphrases. Busch also shows how Barth’s writing should be read as a dialogue, constantly and consciously engaging other voices past and present, both inside and outside the church. Most important, The Great Passion demonstrates that Barth’s thought is still remarkably helpful today.

Sergeant York
$14.99It was a bitter-cold morning on October 8, 1918. Six hundred American soldiers were surrounded by the German army near the Argonne Forest in France. Corporal Alvin York’s unit was ordered out of the trenches and into battle against an enemy armed with machine guns. York was eventually pinned down among his dead and injured comrades. What happened next was a feat of bravery and military skill that would amaze his countrymen, change his life, and etch his place in the history books. Born in a two-room log cabin in the hills of northern Tennessee, York was a bona fide backwoodsman who had taken numerous prizes at turkey shoots back home. His marksmanship served him well that morning in WWI. By the time he reached the U.S. position, York and his few remaining companions were marshaling a parade of 132 enemy soldiers. His feat knocked the wind out of a planned German counterattack. Not bad for a former conscientious objector. In this Christian Encounters biography, learn more about York’s struggles with being a Christian and a soldier and how this simple man showed a nation the meaning of the word hero.

Heaven Is For Real
$19.99A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven. Heaven is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us.Told by the father, but often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.

Michigan Polar Bear Confronts The Bolshevik
$31.99This graphic first-person account of a little-remembered event in U.S. history tells the story of young soldier Godfrey Anderson’s experiences during the ill-fated 1918 military expedition against the Bolsheviks in the frozen reaches of northern Russia.
As a member of the American “Polar Bears” medical corps, Anderson describes traveling by ship and train, setting up field hospitals in the vast Siberian wilderness, enduring many hardships, rubbing shoulders with Russian villagers, barely escaping from the Bolsheviks in a harrowing nighttime retreat by sleigh, and much more. His transparent narrative, laced with ironic humor, has an irresistible, wide-eyed quality to it.
A substantial introduction by historian Gordon Olson sets the geopolitical stage for Anderson’s war memoir, which itself does not pass judgment on the American policy that sent him to Russia. All in all, for history and military buffs especially, this is a great story and a terrific read.

Coming Present : Living With Multiple Personality Disorder Dissociative Ide
$28.73“The most significant result of dissociation was the loss of time. The most significant feeling during sexual abuse was powerlessness. There seemed to be no use to fighting, it was useless. Powerlessness led to the loss of hope. The loss of hope led to depression. Depression often followed me since I was young. I easily got depressed, and I turned my anger in on myself. The fear, led to anger. Anger that led to self loathing, low self esteem, and self- scratching to alter my low mood. Yet, even as I was plagued by these things, I kept up a “normal” lifestyle. I don’t think most of my friends even had a clue I was a multiple. Sometimes strange, or forgetful, even a liar, but not multiple.”
Caroline was the victim of repeated childhood sexual abuse and suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder from the age of three. She cultivated a life of secrecy to avoid explaining her loss of time, body memories, and post-traumatic stress symptoms, fearful that psychiatrists would lock her up and throw away the key. As an adult, Caroline finally found a Christian therapist and began her healing journey, applying an adapted Attachment-Repair technique, giving glory to God, and becoming integrated. Most of her story is recorded in her journals.
Caroline is a first time author, a California native, married with three children. She has a passion to help multiples to seek Christian counseling and become integrated. She hopes her book will be useful to abuse survivors, their families, professionals in the field of Psychology, students, and support people of those suffering with Multiple Personality/Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Eighteen year-old Setan Lee was in shock as soldiers jumped out of huge trucks in Battambang Temple Square, shouting, “Enemies!” and pointing guns at them. This was the New Year celebration and they had no idea why these “black uniform soldiers” were ordering them out of the city at gunpoint to an unknown destination.

Cowboy Goes To India
$23.73Over the years Gordon Bell entertained his four sons with tales of his cowboy and prairie days along with tales of his heroes from literature and his imagination. Now along with his wife, he narrates the true stories of their lives – from the Great Plains of America to the central plains of India.
The lives of Gordon and Lola Bell span vast changes in technology. Gordon’s early childhood memories include transportation in horse-drawn wagons as well as sleighs. He remembers his family circling the radio to listen to Fibber McGee and Molly. He saw carpenters exchange hand tools for power tools. On the farm he watched his father drive a tractor with iron wheels, forbidden by his landlord to use rubber tires for fear they might poison the soil! In rural North Dakota, there were neither electricity nor telephones and Gordon marveled when hearing about a refrigerator that burned kerosene to form ice. That seemed like a fairy tale to him.
In Gordon and Lola’s first parsonage on the prairie, they fed coal to their furnace and ice to their icebox. Under his leadership funds were raised to build a new parsonage, but they moved before it was built.
Later in India, they traveled via a Model A Ford, stopping numerous times to patch tires. Whether by ox cart, bicycle of Model A Ford, they used whatever means available to get to their destinations.
The first trips to India were on famous ocean liners. From horses and oxen to jets, Gordon and Lola Bell experienced challenges and joys throughout their 65 years of traveling together on two continents.
Their greatest reward was seeing the work of the gospel expand greatly under leadership of the nationals. They lived to see the church in India reporting membership in the thousands rather than in the hundreds.

Pursued : An Ordinary Woman Pursued By An Extraordinary God
$21.23I have witnessed and appreciated Nikki’s zeal for the Lord in her personal spiritual walk and her readiness to go the extra mile to reach out to help the poor, needy and spiritually lost both nearby and across the ocean. It’s an encouragement to read how God pursues and then uses his children to reach others for His glory.
Dr. N. Sanford Good, Chair of Intercultural Studies, Lancaster Bible College
As their pastor and friend for many years, I consider Nikki Arnold and her husband Bill to be authentic trophies of God’s transforming grace. There is no other lucid explanation for the people they are today. The engaging story Nikki weaves here is not that of a woman just ‘trying harder’ to grasp a better life. She is one among millions who have found a whole new life to be God’s free gift, bought by the blood of Jesus Christ
Here is a still unfinished journey, about God’s Spirit taking up residence in a woman who started out with many rough edges. The almost fully polished gem now visible to all who know Nikki Arnold bears every evidence of being from God’s own jewelry shop.

Diary Of A Kidnapped Columbian Governor
$17.95The dramatic rescue and release of Colombia hostage Ingrid Betancourt on July 2, 2008, riveted the world’s attention. Another kidnapping victim that year was the governor of Antioquia, Guillermo Gaviria Correa. Little known is his embrace of nonviolence as a political strategy that led to his capture by the FARC and his death during a failed rescue attempt May 5, 2003. The book is being published on the seventh anniversary of his death.
Is a non-killing society possible? Here is the story of how Governor Guillermo Gaviria of the state of Antioquia, in Colombia, paid with his life for taking this question seriously. Knowing that kidnapping and death were real possibilities, Gaviria, inspired by the nonviolent principles of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, believed they could be applied in one of the most violent places on earth. Thus he organized a peaceful march in solidarity with coffee growers in Caicedo. The five-day march ended with his capture by the FARC.
Held for over a year in the jungles of the Colombian countryside, the governor kept a diary and wrote letters to his wife, family, and colleagues. This book is a compilation of his diary and letters, translated from the original Spanish into English. The editor had the privilege to meet the governor’s widow, Colombian Senator Yolanda Pinto de Gaviria in 2007. Her heartfelt desire was to bring her husband’s story to a broader English readership. A translation and editing team from Akron (Pa.) Mennonite Church accepted the challenge and partnered with the Center for Global Nonkilling to bring this amazing story to light.

Having known more American presidents, foreign leaders, and famous people than any other American living or dead, Billy Graham has been uniquely able to speak to the heart of the average person and bring peace and clarity to a nation in trying times. Graham’s ministry flourished during a challenging period in the American experience, when the nation was coming to terms with its unexpected new strength in the world and grappling with the most serious racial and social upheavals since the Civil War. Now acclaimed author and former Time magazine senior correspondent David Aikman sheds new and deserved light on that influence, probing critical episodes of Graham’s life that help explain his profound impact, both on the public life of America and other nations and the private lives of their cultural and political leaders.

Cancer And Me
$16.86You simply say, “Oh, no, this can’t be cancer!” You talk to God like never before. And you realize it is time to get in touch with your inner self to learn who you really are. You ask questions like:
“How will I come out of this, mentally and spiritually?”
“Will I make it?”
“Will my family make it? Have I prepared them for such a bumpy road?”
Through it all, you learn to lean on God like never before, as well as on your praying friends. When treatment is over and good reports start coming in, you realize that you are a changed person. You have a new attitude about yourself; you realize you have a caring concern for others going through a similar trial.
My desire is to reach out to those hurting “others”, to give them hope and brighten their days. Perhaps, ultimately, even to encourage them in their personal relationship with God.

Full Life
$24.95“I have come that they may have life and have it to the full” – Jesus (John 10:10)
I have witnessed much suffering in my work as a World Vision aid worker but I have been greatly blessed by seeing wonderful results of people’s lives being transformed by the love and practical aid they have received.
Each country I have worked in has special memories for me including my time in remote Aboriginal communities of Australia. Ethiopia was a place of wailing and sadness where mass starvation confronted me everyday.
Kenya was a contrast of laughter and colour where I spent 3.5 years with Youth With A Mission getting spiritually recharged.
Mozambique was a huge challenge as a health officer responsible for a mind-boggling forty thousand people in 11 villages.
In 1994, after the genocide I worked with World Vision in Rwanda leaving me with a greater understanding of the need for love and forgiveness.
Although the country was still at war, Liberia was a place of reaping the fruits of my labour, seeing the health message effectively reach the village level.
As you read the pages of this book be encouraged to step out for God for your own amazing adventure.

Trokosi : Slave Of The Gods
$20.61True stories of God’s love and faithfulness for the broken and abused.
A couple of years ago I was shocked to find out that little virgin girls, under the age of nine, are given to fetish priests to serve horrific lives as slaves, to atone for the crimes or sins of another family member. They are beaten, raped, starved and overworked. No affection or kindness is allowed and they live with no hope of ever being freed, as they are isolated from anyone who offers help. Ruled by forces that control them, they live in fear. The stories in this book are told by trokosis who have been liberated through the help of International Needs, and liberated from their fear and suffering by their new found love and faith in Jesus.

Harold Kind Of Love
$15.61This book is the life story of my son Harold, who was born with disabilities. Because he could not talk he was always frustrated, and frustrating to me, his mother. Although I loved him dearly, he caused me heartache, guilt, shame, fear, and anger. For years I cried out to the Lord for relief. If it had not been for Harold and my desire for relief from such pain, I would not have had the intense desire to see others set free.
This is an unbelievable story, showing that a seemingly negative situation can be turned around to become a truly enjoyable journey. The journey is a blessing, not only to Harold and me, but to our entire family who has experienced restoration through the journey.
It was in the dark times of my life that I finally began to learn many wonderful truths, which I hope will inspire people to believe that God can do anything when they apply the principles by which I have learned to live.
