Her Heart Can See
$38.99Her Heart Can See offers an intimate, informed look at Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915), the most prolific of all American hymn writers. Having lost her sight in infancy through a doctor’s negligence, Fanny went on to compose more than 9,000 hymns, as well as various other songs, cantatas, and lyrical productions. Crosby’s hymns, including such all-time favorites as “Blessed Assurance,” “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior,” “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross,” “Rescue the Perishing,” “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” and “I Am Thine, O Lord,” continue to be sung around the world.
Celebrated in her own day for her gospel hymns, Crosby was also very publicly involved with New York City’s rescue missions and with other benevolent efforts. She rubbed shoulders with the likes of Henry Clay, Grover Cleveland, Winfield Scott, Dwight L. Moody, Ira Sankey, Jenny Lind, P. T. Barnum, and many other famous figures who people these pages. More than two dozen black-and-white photographs depict the people and settings among which Crosby moved.
Drawing on primary sources – including thousands of unpublished Crosby manuscripts – Edith Blumhofer sorts fact from fiction in the life of this remarkable woman. Blumhofer responsibly limns Crosby’s life as a gifted nineteenth-century northeastern Protestant woman, in the process showing why “this diminutive woman” was – and is – so beloved.

Into The Region Of Awe
$35.99IVP Print On Demand Title
C. S. Lewis is generally regarded as a commonsense Christian whose theology is understandable and practical. And yet, from his memoir Surprised by Joy to his beloved Chronicles of Narnia, from his nonfiction essays to his letters, C. S. Lewis’s works display a distinct sense of the mystical. In this book, David C. Downing explores the breadth of Lewis’s writing, introducing us to the context of Christian mysticism in Lewis’s day and the writers who most influenced him.
Lewis’s critique of mysticism is instructive to us in this day of eclectic religious thought. Exploring Lewis’s sense of the mystical can help us safeguard ourselves from false mysticism, even as it opens the way to a full experience of God’s presence-the “region of awe.”

Father To The Fatherless
$18.95Six year-old Charles Mulli wakes up in his Kenyan hut to discover his parents have abandoned him. Forced to beg from hut to hut in search of food, Charles scrapes out a meagre existence while trying to come to terms with his abusive past.

He finds a wonderful wife, raises a family, excels in business to such a degree that he creates an empire that is noticed by the President of Kenya, and he becomes a pinnacle in the church movement. Charles is on top of the world. And then his world changes. In spite of his tremendous achievements, the plight of the growing street children problem in his country remains strong in Charles’ heart. He is unable to shut out their cries, the cries he understands so well, and he realizes he must respond. Father to the Fatherless tells the true story of a man who makes a decision to sell everything he has to help the poor. It’s a decision that goes so counter-intuitive to those around him that he is soon completely ostracized, forcing him to carry out what seems like an impossible and unexplainable mission. Now, armed only with his relationship with God, Charles and his family struggle on physical, financial and spiritual fronts to rescue street children from the slums of Kenya and provide them with the hope of new life.

Table In The Presence

But when the smoke of the eight-hour battle cleared, only one Marine had lost his life. Some said the 1st Battalion was incredibly lucky. But in the hearts and minds of the Marines who were there, there was no question. God had brought them miraculously through that battle.
As the 1st Battalion’s chaplain, Lieutenant Carey Cash had the unique privilege of seeing firsthand, from the beginning of the war to the end, how God miraculously delivered, and even transformed, the lives of the men of the 1st Battalion.

Hand Of Providence
$19.99In public opinion polls, Ronald Reagan is the most popular of modern presidents, and yet to most biographers, the man is still an enigma.

Walk On
$16.49Marney’s journal, written over a span of fourteen years, provides an intimate look into her life and faith. Her daily habit was to spend one to two hours in “quiet time” reading, praying, and meditating. But it was only when she started writing her journal that she realized her strengths and weaknesses of her faith. Her journal entries reflect the spiritual growth that followed. Varying in tone from light-hearted, lyrical, and poetic to serious and somber, her thoughts are always trusting and faithful. Marney applied that unquenchable love of God to daily living, difficult decisions, family life, and ultimately her own impending death. This journal is her legacy that she asked to be shared. This is recommended for slow, reflective reading.

Printing Propaganda And Martin Luther
$29.00Mark Edwards’s pioneering work on the Reformation as a “print event” traces how Martin Luther, the first Protestant, became the central figure in the West’s first media campaign. He shows how Luther and his allies spread their message using a medium that was itself subversive: pamphlets written in the vernacular and directed to the broadest reading public. Closely examining Protestant and Catholic pamphlets published in Strasbourg in the early years of the Reformation, Edwards demonstrates Luther’s dominance of the medium, the challenges posed by Catholic counterattacks, the remarkable success of Luther’s New Testament, and the unforeseen effects of the new medium. This volume has opened an exciting new vista on the European Reformation.

Orestes A Brownson A Print On Demand Title
$39.99Orestes Augustus Brownson (1803-1876) was a philosopher, essayist, and minister whose broad-ranging ideas both reflected and influenced the social and religious mores of his day. This superb biography by Patrick Carey provides a thorough, incisive account of Brownson’s shifting intellectual and religious life within the context of American cultural history.
Based on a close reading of Brownson’s diary notebooks, letters, essays, and books, this biography chronicles the course of Brownson’s eventful life, particularly his restless search for a balance between freedom and communion in his relations with God, nature, and the human community. Yet Carey’s work is more than an excellent account of one man’s development; it also portrays the face of an important period in American religious history. What is more, 200 years after Brownson’s birth, America is marked by the same pressing social and religious issues that he himself addressed: religious pluralism, changing religious identifications, culture wars, military conflicts, and challenges to national peace and security. Carey’s book shows how Brownson’s values and ideas transcend his own time period and resonate helpfully with our own.

My Life And My Death
$21.95“My greatest teacher has been my cancer,” says the author in his story of faith as he faces death. But the author never goes too far in the direction of becoming “touchy-feely” with his illness. In fact, he refers to his cancer as being of the devil, yet he never dwells too long in this application either. There is humor but never too much. There is some “preaching” about people with grudges against God but never too much. Instead he tells us, step by step, how he learned of his cancer, how he learned that his cancer was worse than originally thought, how he came to bond with his doctor, how he came to accept the stages of disintegration of his body. The author’s main work here is to find ways to bring us unbearable tidings about sickness and dying in ways that, with God, are bearable.

Her love for God, for Israel, and for her Jewish people will touch your heart. “It is unusual for an entire immediate Jewish family to accept the Lord. The Lanes are such a family. They are a prototype of what God is about to do with Jewish families worldwide.

Desert Rat : The Remarkable Story Of Aileen Coleman
$15.99She has been celebrated by the princely and noble as well as the lowly and oppressed. She is known by many names-“The Angel of the Desert,” “Blood Brother to the Bedouin,” and “A’raisa, the Leader”-and through “honors” bestowed upon her by Queen Elizabeth, she is entitled to be known as Dame Aileen Coleman.

7 Chambers Of Hell
$14.99A True Story of One Man’s Trip Through Hell and Back Why does Hell exist? What must it be like for unbelievers who have rejected salvation?

This book recounts the graphic vision received by a young Death Row inmate, Jeremiah Rodgers. Enlightening, albeit unsettling, this should be read prayerfully. Almost certainly, this vision will change the way many view life-and death. This is a “must read” for those seeking to understand “what” Hell really is, and “who” will go there. It is a place of loathing and fear, intense pain and hopelessness, and physical and spiritual torment without end. Just as the wonders of Heaven are unimaginable-so are the horrors of Hell.

Bonhoeffer Phenomenon : Portraits Of A Protestant Saint
$23.00Stephen Haynes offers a provocative assessment of the Bonhoeffer mystique, which interprets Bonhoeffer’s legacy through the medium of sainthood. Before casting an eye on the great pastor-theologian through a hagiographic lens, Haynes examines various receptions and appropriations of Bonhoeffer from different theological, ecclesial, and political contexts. Bonhoeffer is viewed from such divergent perspectives as radical theology and politics (exemplified in “death of God” theology), liberal theology and social ethics, conservative popular Christianity and evangelicalism, and lastly, the universal portrait of Bonhoeffer, which highlights his ecumenical significance. The Bonhoeffer Phenomenon provides an invaluable introduction to Bonhoeffer studies, while also offering its own unique analysis of Bonhoeffer’s life and thought.

Rescuing The Raggedy Man
$15.49Hope for the Hurting Think of the term “homeless person,” and you’ll see him: the raggedy man. Reeking of alcohol and cigarette smoke. Hasn’t showered in weeks. Tattered old coat. Staggering down the sidewalk, clutching a bottle of cheap whiskey. Or maybe you see her. Mismatched clothes that others would have used for rags. Stringy, unwashed hair sticking out from under a dirty, knit stocking cap. Three kids, somewhere, from three different fathers. For more than four decades, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Rockford Rescue Mission has served compassion and generosity to raggedy people. Some look the part. But many more look like people you’d see every day. They’ve simply messed up, and life has unraveled. Hurting, hopeless, raggedy people walk among us-we just don’t see past their masks. They’re in our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and our churches. There even may be one in your mirror. If there’s a common theme to the many stories you’re about to read, it’s this: For all who hurt, there is great news. God is in the rescue business. He changes lives and gives hope where all seemed hopeless, even for raggedy people like us.

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.

Besides examining Dickinson’s singular life and work in greater depth, Lundin has also keyed all poem citations to the recently updated standard edition of Dickinson’s poetry. Already outstanding, Lundin’s biography of Emily Dickinson is now even better than before.

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.
