Silent Music : The Life Work And Thought Of Saint John Of The Cross
$23.99St. John of the Cross has long inspired Christians seeking a deeper knowledge of God. This sixteenth-century Spanish mystic left a record of personal faith as profound as any ever recorded. In Silent Music R. A. Herrera looks anew at the life and writings of St. John of the Cross and explores his continuing relevance to contemporary spirituality.
Beginning with an erudite historical essay on the phenomenon of mysticism, Silent Music chronicles St. John’s life story – from his humble birth in 1542, through his career as a professional religious, to his death in 1591 – placing the man and his spirituality squarely in their historical-cultural context. Herrera probes the saint’s rigorous life of contemplation and his classic writings on such subjects as union with God and the “dark night of the soul,” clarifying St. John’s understanding of the mystical experience and paying particular attention to the notion of detachment and the recurring motifs of darkness, flame, and ascent in St. John’s writings. His careful analysis of St. John’s thought is enriched with examples from philosophy, psychology, literature, spirituality, and art – material not usually found in such a study.
Appending his own original translations of select excerpts from St. John’s poetry, Herrera here paints a richly detailed, multifaceted portrait of one of Christendom’s most complex figures. His book will interest readers encountering St. John for the first time as well as those seriously engaged in the study of Roman Catholicism, Spanish history, Christian spirituality, and mysticism.

High Calling : The Courageous Life And Faith Of Space Shuttle Columbia Comm
$19.99Rick Husband wanted to be an astronaut since his fourth birthday, but it wasn’t always for the right reasons. Initially, he thought it would be neat . . . cool . . . a fun thing to do.

Three failed attempts didn’t daunt this driven pilot-and the fourth interview process, though lengthy and difficult, proved successful for him.

Zig : The Autobiography Of Zig Ziglar
$19.00Zig Ziglar, the motivational speaker who has galvanized audiences around the world and written more than a dozen perennially popular books, brings that same unbounded energy and clarity of vision to this candid, inspiring account of his own life and the forces that shaped it.
Every year, Zig Ziglar travels all over the world delivering a resounding message of hope and commitment in forums ranging from high-powered business conferences and church leadership assemblies to youth conventions and educational gatherings. In Zig, Ziglar chronicles another kind of journey: his own transformation from a struggling, not terribly successful salesman to the sales champion of several different companies, and finally to his current position as one of the world’s best-known and most highly regarded motivational speakers and trainers. As he describes his experiences, he brings to life the essence of his teachings: “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”
At the heart of Ziglar’s story are the people who taught him the importance of balancing a commitment to hard work with compassion for others. His first teacher was his mother, who raised him alone after the early death of his father, and introduced him to the principles and values he has honored for the rest of his life. Her lessons were reinforced by many others-from the men and women who became his business mentors to the friends and spiritual leaders who comforted and supported him when things got tough. Paying tribute to each of them, Ziglar zeroes in on the philosophy and traits that have enabled him to achieve success in business and in his personal life: discipline, hard work, common sense, integrity, commitment, and an infectious sense of humor.
Ziglar’s speaking engagements and seminars along with a wide array of audio and video materials, books, and training manuals, have helped to trigger positive changes in small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, U.S. government agencies, nonprofit associations, religious organizations, schools, and prisons. At once engaging and enlightening, Zig provides a riveting portrait of the man who has achieved so much by embracing the simple but profound goal of helping others.

Billy Graham Story (Revised)
$19.99An updated account of the inspiring and influential life of Dr. Billy Graham When the hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, President Bush immediately proclaimed a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance. For the interfaith, interdenominational service at the Washington National Cathedral he chose Billy Graham to give the address. At that terrible hour no other clergyman, whatever his office, could so aptly bring the Word of God to America and a watching world. At 84, Billy Graham remains one of the most respected people in the world today. He has addressed over eighty-two million people face to face and at least one billion people through television, radio, and satellite. Yet he is far more than an evangelist of integrity and vision; he is a Christian statesman whose profound influence on the growth and depth of Christianity across the world cannot be overestimated. This official biography of Dr. Graham is based on his private files, correspondence, and interviews, as well as the author’s widespread research. Written by John Pollock, Dr. Graham’s official biographer, parts one and two (1918 to 1978), based on Pollock’s authorized biographies, have been abridged and contain new material. Part three (1978 to 1983) deals at length with Dr. Graham’s controversial visit to Moscow, which can now be seen as a factor in the fall of communism. Part four (1984 to 2003) updates the story to recent events, including the horrors of September 11 and the honorary knighthood Dr. Graham received from the Queen of England in December 2001. An 8-page section of black-and-white photos are new to this book.

Cash : The Autobiography
$16.99He was the “Man in Black,” a country music legend, and the quintessential American troubadour. He was an icon of rugged individualism who had been to hell and back, telling the tale as never before. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him.
In his own words, Cash set the record straight — and dispelled a few myths — as he looked unsparingly at his remarkable life: from the joys of his boyhood in Dyess, Arkansas to superstardom in Nashville, Tennessee, the road of Cash’s life has been anything but smooth. Cash writes of the thrill of playing with Elvis, the comfort of praying with Billy Graham; of his battles with addiction and of the devotion of his wife, June; of his gratitude for life, and of his thoughts on what the afterlife may bring. Here, too, are the friends of a lifetime, including Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Kris Kristofferson. As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who truly “walked the line.”

For My Good But For His Glory
$26.49If I Knew Back Then What I Know Now… I grew up sheltered in a large family,wanting to be “free” and on my own, and looking for love and acceptance. This led to marrying the wrong person who gave me the attention I longed for, but after eleven years and two babies I was divorced. I was a single woman in the vicious cycle of dating men out of the will of God. I was then a married woman, a divorced woman, and a single parent, and suffered the trauma of the death of my firstborn. In spite of all that I’ve gone through, everything was for my good and for God’s glory, because nothing with him goes to waste. Everything you’ve ever gone through, no matter how bad or good, is not in vain, because God has a plan. He said …Gather up now the fragments (the broken pieces that are left over), so that nothing may be lost and wasted. (JOHN 6:12 AMP)

$24.99“The God I Love is the book that captures my heart and thoughts in the events, dialogues, memories, images, and scenes of my life_my walk with God.”_Joni Eareckson Tada Joni’s name is synonymous around the world with the words “loving God.” She has lived out these words since the diving accident thirty-six years ago that left her paralyzed from the shoulders down. Now in The God I Love she looks back on the whole of her life through eyes that can see how that accident actually moved her in a new direction, saving her from another tragedy of her own making. This story-driven narrative captures the events and images of Joni’s remarkable life as she describes her life in six themes. She begins with her life as an ordinary girl who is blessed by an extraordinary God_but not without tragic turns. Then she ponders the question, would she have been an artist if she had not broken her neck? She recognizes that through prayer she enters into God’s holy presence and finds that he answers her prayers in full measure. She acknowledges that it is only through the kindness of friends that she has bathed or eaten or done the countless simple tasks that make up everyday life. Because of her unusual situation, her wheelchair has rolled onto platforms around the world where millions of people have heard her speak about her Savior. Through tragedy Joni has come to know God, the living, surprising, wonderful Lord of all. A note from Joni_ The God I Love is a memory still unfolding of the journey that keeps taking me deeper into the heart of my Savior. It’s my prayer that this story, which spans over fifty years, will resonate with each person who takes time to pick up the book…it’s my prayer that The God I Love will serve as a roadmap, a guide, a signpost to light the journey of each reader, helping them to see their sweet, soft desperation of Jesus, too.

Searching For God In Godforsaken Times And Places
$19.50152 pages
Additional Info
This heartfelt book recounts the author’s personal struggles with doubt, uncertainty, and skepticism in the face of three consequential life experiences the death of his parents, his life as a black American, and his lifelong preoccupation with the Nazi Holocaust.For Hubert Locke, as for many others who share his circumstances or sensitivities, these experiences have presented a serious challenge to conventional Christian teaching. They have forced him to reexamine Scripture, where he has ultimately and beneficially discovered a remarkable congeniality on the part of biblical writers with doubters and skeptics.
“Doubt is not an act of unbelief,” Locke writes. “In fact and ironically, doubt may be a supreme act of faith and devotion. If this is too much to claim, at least doubt and skepticism are stances that Scripture understands and for which the Bible has the utmost sympathy.”
“Searching for God in Godforsaken Times and Places” is a heart-cry by one person whose honest journey through life has earned him a special kind of spiritual peace, a person who has profound insights to offer others seeking to live Christianly in a confusing, contradictory world. Penetrating and sensitive, questioning and honest, this book is for believers and seekers alike who are looking for a meaningful, real discussion of life’s duplicity.

Footprints In My Rearview Mirror
$17.49People leave footprints that run through other lives. Sometimes they gradually increase to make a path, which becomes a trail, then a rutted road, a highway, a freeway, and on and on into one’s fading memories. Some of them are but little puffs in the dust or snow, while others are huge craters and ruts in the mud that leave big scars or become great indelible lessons about life as one passes through the world system toward eternity. The people and events mentioned in this book are real and are recorded as accurately as possible. So as not to misrepresent anyone or anything, many unclear parts have been omitted. The Japanese American WWII experience had a heavy impact on the circumstances that shaped the sociological, psychological, and spiritual post-war life of Mr. Oiye. This book is written to illustrate how God chose the author to become a believer and follower of Jesus Christ as his Savior and Lord from the beginning, and how He guarantees that it will not only happen, but He will continue to provide the means to match the circumstance. “Just getting old is a sterile way of life, but growing old gracefully is a God-given gift.”

Journey
$23.99Do you desire freedom from religious bondage? Are you frustrated with rules? The Journey is a true story that chronicles an extraordinary search for the existence of God. The story begins with her ancestors from whom she has received blessings and cursings. She discovers that dark, unseen forces have her under surveillance, watching for an opportune time to bring her into temptation and deception. Her carnal nature falls prey to the influence of ungodly temptations, and she is lured into the world of fleeting pleasure and sin. Seeking relief from her dilemma catapults her into a smorgasbord of erroneous religious groups. As she adheres to the rules and rituals of religion, she realizes that keeping rules does not tame the carnal beast within. She exchanges her life of sin for one of self-righteousness, false humility, and counterfeit Christianity. Family casualties become a byproduct of her journey, and they are left behind in the tumultuous aftermath. Who can rescue her? Only One-Jesus Christ! Discovering the truth, her journey takes a sharp turn. She realizes she has not been following God’s true path, but man’s interpretation of it. She undergoes spiritual surgery that removes the false belief systems she had embraced, and she finds the true freedom that Christ proclaimed: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

Bonhoeffer : An Introduction Through Drama
$16.49Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German theologian executed on Hitler’s orders in the closing days of World War II. Striving to center his life on God’s will, Bonhoeffer returned to his native Germany just before the outset of the war. There he served in the so called “Confessing Church,” composed of churches whose pastors, among other things, refused to take an oath to Adolf Hitler. Eventually, Dietrich became involved in representing the German Resistance abroad, believing he had a Christian obligation to help overthrow an indelibly evil government. He was imprisoned in early 1943. Until late 1944, the Nazis failed to understand that Bonhoeffer had played a key role in the Resistance. Once his role surfaced, Dietrich was doomed to the fate of those involved in the July 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler’s life. The play Bonhoeffer focuses on Bonhoeffer’s spiritual struggles following his effort to communicate with the British government in 1942 until his execution in 1945. It provides a dramatic and instructive introduction to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, to his times, and to his witness against unremitting evil. Bonhoeffer lends itself to theatrical production, to altar dramas, and to reading by groups of people.

Dinahs Story : The Struggles And Triumphs Of Parenting A Child With Prader
$17.49Dinah’s Story documents the life journey of a baby born with Prader-Willi Syndrome, a birth defect not yet identified at the time of her birth. While Dinah’s Story focuses on the unique-and sometimes bizarre-characteristics of PWS, it would benefit any parent, extended family member, or educator who lives with and loves a child or adult with special needs. The combination of faith (Loretta’s faith in God), works (her pragmatic and stubborn approach to finding solutions), and the love that drives them both creates a special environment where miracles happen. Dinah’s Story is one of family and faith, hope and despair, tragedies and triumphs. It’s the story of a baby who was not supposed to survive, but who, at age 47, celebrates life through her love of family and friends, her gift of painting, and her trust in God. You will laugh with the author, cry with her, and share the jubilation that comes with perseverance. And through the eyes of a mother, you will get a glimpse of how our Heavenly Father views His precious creation-Dinah. All proceeds from the sale of Dinah’s Story go to the Dinah Stafford Scholarship Fund at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona.
