Hidden Man : The Secret To Living In The Spirit Realm
$16.99Add to cartThe Hidden Man by E. W. Kenyon is a masterly unveiling of the deeper walk in the Spirit. “The hidden man of the heart” is the human spirit recreated in Christ. The only way to know God and the Lord Jesus Christ is through the spirit because this is how God imparts His messages to us. He unveils spiritual realities to our hidden man, and one of those vital messages is an understanding of our identity in Christ. It is of utmost importance that we understand who we are. Until we do, we can’t know the riches that belong to us and the abilities that are ours.
Faith, like wisdom, is a product of our spirit. Until our spirit gains mastery over our senses, our faith will never be strong and vigorous. Faith is developed and wisdom is enriched as we meditate and act on the Word of God.
The secret of the divine life is to learn how to live in the spirit realm and have one’s lamp filled with the oil of heaven. This book will open new spiritual vistas and make the Word a thrilling reality for you!

Feeler : Discovering How Sensitivity Helps You Discern And Act On Gods Voic
$16.99Add to cartThe Scriptures give us a full-color picture of a God who is moved by emotions such as yearning, love, and compassion. Our human emotions reflect the emotional qualities of our Creator, who made us in His own image. Feelings have a vital place in any believer’s life, not just in those who have a more sensitive nature due to their personalities.
The Feeler by James W. Goll delivers a remarkable biblical perspective on our emotions and how they help us to discern and act on God’s voice. We experience the love, joy, and presence of God with our feelings. Our emotions have an impact on our bodies, our level of holiness, our relationships, and our decisions.
The Bible tells us we need to have our “senses trained to discern good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14 NASB). What are we training? Both our natural senses and our spiritual senses. Our physical senses, with the addition of “knowing,” correspond to our spiritual senses in these ways:
Eyes (sight): visions and dreams
Ears (hearing): voices and sounds
Heart (touch): emotions and feelings
Tongue (taste): good and evil
Nose (smell): good and bad
Mind (knowing): divine thoughts and impressions
This book will show you how to listen for and recognize the often subtle ways God’s Spirit speaks to believers, as well as how to discern good and evil spirits. With consecrated gifts and senses, you can reach out to the body of Christ and to the world at large in both spiritual and practical ways, making you much better equipped to fulfill your role as an ambassador of the gospel.

Hope For This Present Crisis
$24.99Add to cartOur culture has lost its mind. Now, we are waging a bigger fight-a war for our soul.
Is it possible our world has gone mad? We are under siege and the war is not from without; it is from within. The collapse of the Roman Empire occurred in a single generation and was not so much the result of invasions by their enemies but the result of moral decay and internal corruption. Similar patterns are emerging in America. We neglected or abandoned our traditional institutions long ago, but now it’s time to take them back.
Today, forces are at work to strip the principles and precepts of faith from public venues or minimize their significance. Many progressive leaders are convinced that when Christianity disintegrates it will create peace on earth. But the loss of our heritage will merely create a spiritual vacuum that will be filled with folly, crammed with chaos, or invaded by Islam. The reality is: Western civilization will become so decadent and reckless that America will collapse like a house of cards.
In Hope for This Present Crisis, Dr. Youssef provides a diagnosis of the insanity of the current culture and a seven-step prescription for restoring sanity to a world gone mad. Here’s the seven-step path to restoring a world gone mad:
*Remember the Truth – Stand firm on the truth of the gospel.
*Restore the Soul – Seek God’s approval not the approval of other people.
*Revitalize the Family – Guard your children from the horrors of the Internet.
*Reestablish the Classroom – Support conscientious, caring public school teachers.
*Respect our Freedoms – Know your rights.Reform our Society – Morally and spiritually purify yourself.
*Revive the Church – Demonstrate the forgiving love of Jesus at all times.
This book will teach you how to stand up to attacks on your faith, and defend Christianity as a meaningful contribution to society.

40 Days With God
$15.99Add to cartHow much time is enough to be with God? While it could be the 40 days or years used so often in the Bible, it’s also possible that simply stealing a few minutes from the busy-ness of each day is enough time to be in Kairos, “God time.” The same is true for the space needed to find God. Whether it be in a deserted place or one filled with activity, whatever space we can carve out to find God-or to make enough room to be found-is enough space. This book is about being with God in short time and tight spaces.

Jesus Josiah And Me
$16.99Add to cartYou can know undeniably that Jesus is real and fully-present, even when your feelings and circumstances scream the opposite.
Best-selling author and journalist Max Davis had his life turned upside down when he experienced a supernatural encounter with a nine-year-old, nonverbal, autistic boy named Josiah Cullen. This special boy, who lived in Minnesota, had prophetic visions and messages from God about Max, who lived in Louisiana, even though the two had never met or had any contact. These messages, which Josiah typed with one finger, were packed with amazing biblical insight and highly detailed specifics about Max’s life-details that Josiah could not possibly have known unless they were revealed to him by the Holy Spirit.
As a skeptical journalist who pursues truth, Max gained undeniable evidence that God is real and knows us personally. Even more compelling is that the prophetic messages centered around Max’s personal prayer life. Just like in John 1:48 when Jesus let Nathanael know He saw him praying under the fig tree, through Josiah, God was letting Max know that He sees us when we pray too, even though circumstances often scream the opposite. Life can be brutal, and we tend to equate pain and struggle with the absence of God. Yet nothing could be further from the truth! Regardless of how things may appear, Jesus is real, alive, and fully present, and living in that awareness changes everything.
In Jesus, Josiah, and Me, Max Davis shows you that it is possible to encounter the living Jesus in a richer and more tangible way-that you can cultivate an awareness of His reality and know your prayers are affecting outcomes. More than an amazing account of Max’s encounter with an autistic boy that sparks faith and hope, it’s a story that unveils the mystery of experiencing God’s presence and power like never before!
This book will encourage your faith by showing you that you can encounter the living Jesus in a richer and more tangible way. It will unveil the mystery of experiencing God’s presence and power like never before.

Even in my adolescence, God used some of the core disciplines in this book to shape me, the effects of which I still carry with me today. My parents had laid the groundwork, and God used that foundation and a handful of other people to jumpstart my early experiences with God.

In the time since those early experiences, as God has continued to form me (and even put up with me), I’ve compiled lessons along the way, and this workbook contains some of the most important ones I’ve learned thus far on my spiritual formation journey. -

Flashes Of Grace
$33.99Add to cart“I don’t know how to say what the grace of God is. What I can say is what it’s like for me.”
We all know about grace being amazing-after all, there’s a whole song about it-but Patrick Henry reminds us that that’s not all it is. It’s also intimidating, disorienting, demanding, reassuring, and sometimes even just downright mind-boggling. Describing thirty-three different aspects of grace based on his everyday experiences, Henry tells the story of a grace that is wide-ranging and comprehensive-if not always comprehensible. Rather than trying to capture and tame his encounters with God, he lets the mystery of memory speak for itself, exemplifying his mantra that being a Christian is about being “an explorer, not a colonizer.”
Flashes of Grace is wise and grounded, earnest and light, faithful and quirky. Henry describes encountering grace in airports, baseball, hazelnuts, and just about anywhere else you can imagine, while engaging with dialogue partners ranging from King Saul and Saint Augustine to Yogi Berra and Captain Picard. For anyone longing to connect (or reconnect) with God, this book provides a surprising journey that broadens perspectives and explores strange new worlds, while loosening stiff spiritual joints so movement can be free and spontaneous..

Sanity Of Belief
$14.99Add to cartWe’ve all heard the arguments that Christianity is irrelevant, irrational and even immoral. But what if the Christian faith makes sense of all that matters? In this thoughtful, engaging book, Simon Edwards challenges the assumptions that may lead us to reject a faith and doubt something that we’ve never really had the chance to understand in the first place. From our need for meaning and significance, to our desires for truth, goodness, love and hope, he explores the things that matter to us as human beings and shows us why the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ might just make sense of them all. The Sanity of Belief is a fresh take on apologetics, faith and doubt, that will leave you with a stronger understanding of Christian belief and how it relates to today’s world. It is ideal for anyone looking for a clear, down-to-earth introduction Christianity, or for those wanting to reaffirm the foundations on which their faith is based.

No Longer Strangers
$17.99Add to cartBelonging has never come easy to me.
Growing up, there was my mutated national identity to deal with–my not-quite-American, not-quite-Indonesian soul, restless in both countries. Later, when I came out as a celibate gay Christian, I found I didn’t fit into the church as easily as I used to. I’ve often wondered what it means to belong to others even when I can’t manage to blend in with them. The way Jesus tells it, if we give up on belonging in order to follow him, we’ll find ourselves belonging anyway. We might not belong the way other people do, with normal homes and normal families and normal ways of fitting in. But we’ll belong in a way that’s a hundred times better. We’ll be fully in place because we know we are out of place. We’ll belong like aliens. Maybe you’re caught in the same tension as me, wanting to fit somewhere even as you’re permanently out of place. Maybe you feel like an alien. If so, let’s be aliens together.

Life On The Hill
$17.99Add to cartMartin Luther King’s, “I have a dream,” and Winston Churchill’s, “We will fight them on the beaches,” were time-honoured speeches aimed at challenging peoples’ beliefs and behaviour. Yet these great addresses pale into insignificance when compared to the Sermon on the Mount delivered by Jesus two thousand years ago. His unparalleled message describes the attitudes that God wants us to embrace if we are to see His kingdom come. ? Life on the Hill is a journey of discovery. Dynamic and practical, this book takes us on a journey deep into the heartland of Jesus’ eight beatitudes. If we want to live life at a different level, we are going to have to transform our thinking and start applying these Be-Attitudes to every area of our lives. ? What we believe affects how we behave and ultimately what we become. The best place to build a new and godly set of beliefs is on the rock of these radical attitudes. Only when our thoughts are aligned with God’s thoughts will we soar to new heights where God’s dream for our lives becomes a reality. ? Using amusing illustrations and pointed anecdotes, Chris Spicer shows us how we can change our angles of approach and start enjoying “life on the hill.”

$18.99Add to cartSoul’s Scribe helps you to make sense of your life story and gives you the confidence to effectively share your testimony with others.

100 Bible Verses That Made America
$20.99Add to cartEsteemed author Robert J. Morgan explores 100 Bible verses that powerfully impacted our leaders during defining moments in American history and reflects upon what these verses mean for us as a nation today.
The Bible has played a starring role in American history from our nation’s beginnings. When George Washington was sworn into office as our first president, he did not place his hand on the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, as hallowed as those documents are. Instead, he swore upon and even kissed the Bible to sanctify this important moment. The Bible, Washington knew, had ushered American history to this point.
Trying to explain American history without its Bible is like trying to understand the human body without its bloodstream. Had there been no Bible, there would be no America as we know it. It is the Bible that made America.
While not every Founding Father was a Christian, a Bible-believer, or a paragon of virtue and not every leader has honored the Bible nor appreciated its influence, there is an undeniable history of leaders who’ve been intimately acquainted with the contents of the Bible, who’ve studied its scriptures and respected its teachings. Journey with Robert J. Morgan as he teaches about the Bible’s role in the defining moments and impact on the people of our nation’s history, reminding us of the beauty at the intersection of faith and country and reigniting our hearts’ passions for both.

Being The Bad Guys
$15.99Add to cartHow to live confidently for Jesus in a culture that sees Christians as the bad guys.
The church used to be recognized as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence.
In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism?
Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling and joyful than anything the world has to offer.
He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.

But though He can and sometimes will do these things, for His own mysterious reasons, He also often withholds them. What we can say for sure is that your day is coming-that day you actually live with Him, when the perfection of heaven is your eternal reality, when sin and sickness and sorrow are banished forever from His (and your) presence.
Take the long view of this short life. God will make sure you’re covered. A better day is coming.

Christian Antisemitism : Confrontng The Lies In Today’s Church
$18.99Add to cartHate isn’t a thing from history.
The Jewish people and Israel have been described as “a dominant and moving force behind the present and coming evils of our day”; “a monstrous system of evil…[that] will destroy us and our children” if not resisted; and a group that seeks “the annihilation of almost every Gentile man, woman, and child and the establishment of a satanic Jewish-led global dictatorship.” What’s worse is that these comments were all made by professing Christians.
In Christian Antisemitism, respected Messianic Bible scholar Michael L. Brown, PhD, documents shocking examples of modern “Christian” antisemitism and exposes the lies that support them. Carefully researched, this book shows that church-based antisemitism is no longer a thing of the past. Rather, a dangerous, shocking tide of “Christian” antisemitism has begun to rise. In Christian Antisemitism, Dr. Brown shows you how to stem this tide now and overcome the evil of “Christian” antisemitism with the powerful love of the cross!
This book will show you how to confront everyday antisemitism in all areas of your life and become a champion for the people of Israel.

Finding Hope In Crisis
$14.99Add to cartLife changes in a nanosecond when storms sweep in, often without warning. With minds barely able to think clearly, we often set our Bible aside. In reality, that’s when we need its comfort and strength most. This devotional is written for those in crisis, for those longing for hope but lacking the ability to focus on a lengthy Scripture passage.
This book contains 90 devotions. Each day’s entry follows a pattern:
*Key Verse
*Pause (devotion)
*Ponder (application question or action step)
*Pray (short prayer)
*Relevant quoteThis book is for those who are in crisis. This looks different for everyone. For some, it means facing the fallout of betrayal or divorce. For others, it means a cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved one, experiencing job loss or home foreclosure, or watching an adult child make choices that carry lifelong consequences. Some would say that hitting a relationship roadblock with a friend or family member constitutes crisis, while others would say it’s losing their family pet.
Regardless, their greatest need is hope. They need reassurance that God’s love will never let them go, his presence will never leave them, and His strength will carry them through. Finding Hope in Crisis addresses these needs.

Glory Of The Cross
$16.99Add to cartWalk in the victory that defined the lives of the apostles and the early church-it’s still possible today!
Spiritually, the single most powerful moment in history is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Often, that which is the cornerstone and centerpiece of the Christian faith has been reduced to something many believers assume they grasp, understand, or have figured out. It’s as if we think the cross is elementary in our understanding of Christianity. Yet, it’s applying The Glory of the Cross that grants us access into the very depths of intimately knowing and experiencing God Almighty.
The cross makes it possible for you to apply the victory of Jesus over every area of life that His death and resurrection impacted.
Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda, pastors of All Nations Church and leaders of Chavda Ministries, provide dynamic teaching coupled with miraculous stories, of how applying the glory of cross grants you access to supernatural miracles, divine healing, encounters with the Holy Spirit, reconciliation to God, understanding of your spiritual identity, applying the power of Jesus’ blood, six keys to victory in spiritual warfare, and so much more.
When Jesus died on the cross a supernatural explosion of glory was released, sending shock waves throughout the entire human experience. Jesus’ death and resurrection were cataclysmic events that impact more than your eternal destiny – they can change every moment of your life today!

God Of All Things
$19.99Add to cartAbstract theology is overrated. In the contemporary West, we’re desperately in need of rediscovering God through ordinary, physical things we see in the world around us.
Jesus did it all the time. He mentioned a lily, sparrow, sheep, coin, fish, harvest, banquet, lamp, stone, seed, and vineyard to teach about the kingdom of God. In the Old Testament, too, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, eagle, shelter, cedar, lion, shield, wave, ox, and so on. “Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you” (Job 12:7-8).
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson explores glimpses of the sacred in created things, finding in them illustrations of the character and gospel of God. As humans, we encounter glory through stars and awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’s death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation. It is a gallery full of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Wilson presents a variety of created marvels–from figs and galaxies to viruses, pigs, and honey–that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God.

Depression Anxiety And Other Things We Dont Want To Talk About
$19.99Add to cartA pastor and licensed psychotherapist himself suffering from depression and anxiety takes on the relationship of mental health and faith while addressing the role of self-care, compassion, and restoration.
Everyone knows someone who suffers from anxiety, depression, or another form of mental illness, but a stigma around mental health remains–especially in the church. Ryan Casey Waller–pastor, therapist, and cosufferer–has experienced firsthand the jarring dissonance of wrestling with mental health while trying to maintain a vibrant Christian faith. It can be a discouraging, lonely battle. But it doesn’t have to be.

*see why we need conversations in the church about mental health and how to have them;
*discover why seeking knowledge about one’s self is critical to growing deeper in relationship with God;
*understand the basics of brain health, the intersection of biology and spirituality, and why emotional intelligence deserves more attention;
*learn practical steps such as how to find a therapist, distinguish between a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and afford treatment; and
*become equipped to support loved ones with mental illness while promoting healthy self-care.
