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.

Survive To Win
$16.98When Bob “Bull” Watson was hired as general manager of the New York Yankees in 1996, his orders were to give the club a title it had not had since 1977 and 1978 World Series Champions — to do it as soon as possible, preferably that same year. Watson survived that pressure just as he survived his bout with cancer and his difficult climb out of the minor leagues in the racially turbulent 1960s. “After 32 years in baseball .. surviving may be the one thing I do best.” Interwoven with his life story is an informative and entertaining discussion of all things baseball — how a hitter thinks, how to build a powerful ball club, how to manage the personalities and egos in the game, and how the game has changed over the years.

On My Honor
$14.98On the first day of his Senate confirmation hearings, John Ashcroft raised his right hand and vowed, “I swear to unhold the laws of the United States of America, so help me God.”
People who knew him intimately knew they could count on this.
And so will others as they read On My Honor, a book that reveals Ashcroft’s personal beliefs on racism, abortion, capital punishment, our judicial system, his faith in God, and more.
These beliefs were not designed to answer his critics in the Senate. They are beliefs he has held for years, written when he still expected to serve a second term in the Senate.
Here is an opportunity to judge this extraordinary man from his own words and deeds. As Ashcroft says, “The verdict of history is inconsequential; the verdict of eternity is what counts.”

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.

More Than I Could Ever Ask
$19.99Meeting Lori Bakker today-a young woman with a bright, outgoing personality, you could hardly imagine her as a teenager living a life of flagrant sexual promiscuity and drug abuse. Nor would you picture her as having had five abortions before she was twenty-one.
More Than I Could Ever Ask tugs at the heartstrings of women and men. Lori’s story is one of forgiveness-finding forgiveness from God, learning to forgive the men who hurt her, and most of all, discovering inner peace. Her story also shows the power of love and faithfulness. After she was single and celibate for nearly nine years, Lori met and fell in love with a man she had known only by reputation-Jim Bakker. Today Lori and Jim-two broken lives brought together by God as one-have been restored and are busy helping restore others to spiritual and emotional wholeness.

For over sixteen years, Lisa Leidenfrost has lived, served, and raised four children in Ivory Coast with her husband, Csaba Leidenfrost, a Wycliffe translator to the Bakwe people.

Teresa Of Avila

So then, what do you think that abode will be like where a King so powerful, so wise, so pure, so full of all good things takes his delight? I don’t find anything comparable to the magnificent beauty of a soul and its marvelous capacity.” — Teresa of Avila

Because They Never Asked
$16.86Writing from a Jewish perspective, Lonnie Lane tells the story of how God supernaturally revealed Himself to her. She first sensed the presence of Yeshua (Jesus) when in Israel with her synagogue. This led her through a long intellectual struggle with questions that many Jews ask about God.When God spoke to her audibly, in power and tenderness, she knew why Abraham and Moses obeyed upon hearing His Voice. One by one, her family members came to the Lord, each with his or her own unique encounter with God. 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. I urge you to read, enjoy, and learn about this most unusual Jewish Mishpochah (family).” -Sid Roth, President, Messianic Vision

7 Chambers Of Hell
$18.73A 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? Why would a loving God condemn “anyone” to ETERNAL damnation? Similar questions have puzzled us for centuries, but many will be answered in this intriguing book, which takes the reader on a disturbing journey through the demonic realms of Hell. 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.

Bonhoeffer Phenomenon : Portraits Of A Protestant Saint
$38.33Stephen 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
$19.36Hope 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.

$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.

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.

After a long period of recovery and rehabilitation, he is a paraplegic who has remained active in family, ministry, and athletics.

Molsberry also offers biblical and theological reflection that confronts the Bible’s perspectives on disability–that it is a matter of heroic suffering or miraculous cure, and often interpreted as a consequence of sin.
