Following Jesus In A Culture Of Fear
$17.99Add to cartFear has taken on an outsized role in our current cultural and political context. Manufactured threats are advanced with little to no evidence of danger, while real threats are exaggerated for self-interested gain. This steady diet of fear produces unhealthy moral lives, leading many Christians to focus more on the dangers we wish to avoid than the goods we wish to pursue. As a fearful people, we are tempted to make safety our highest good and to make virtues of suspicion, preemption, and accumulation. But this leaves the church ill-equipped to welcome the stranger, love the enemy, or give to those in need.
This timely resource brings together cultural analysis and theological insight to explore a Christian response to the culture of fear. Laying out a path from fear to faithfulness, theologian Scott Bader-Saye explores practices that embody Jesus’s call to place our trust in him, inviting Christian communities to take the risks of hospitality, peacemaking, and generosity. This book has been revised throughout, updated to connect with today’s readers, and includes new discussion questions.

Walking With God Through The Valley
$28.00Add to cartRecovering the Practice of Lament
The church desperately needs to recover the practice of lament. But what exactly are we asking for?
The call for lament echoes throughout the pages of Scripture. This ever-present genre shaped the lives of ancient communities, and it should shape the practices of churches today. And yet contemporary Christian communities often don’t know how to engage texts of lament in their contexts. In a world experiencing so much pain, a recovery of biblical lament is more necessary than ever.
In Walking with God Through the Valley, Old Testament scholar May Young offers a guide for readers to engage lament texts both in their church communities and in their personal lives. Drawing deeply from key passages in Scripture, including the Psalms, Habakkuk, and Lamentations, Young posits that true lament must come out of a deep understanding of the biblical text. Through practicing lament in our own lives, we can move through pain and suffering and experience God’s renewed hope.

Vibrant : Developing A Deep And Abiding Joy For All Seasons
$16.99Add to cartHave you ever met someone who possessed a quiet radiance so rich, so dynamic, that you ached for more, someone whose presence is so compelling you feel refreshed by a single conversation with them? If you know someone like this, you anticipate your times together. You realize their joy is contagious, their peace is deep, and their compassion is engaging.
Such people are “vibrant.” Regardless of their socioeconomic status, their education, their marital status, or their health, these people are determined to live joyfully, seeing each obstacle as an opportunity for growth. The vibrant individual’s persona is attached to their convictions rather than their circumstances.
Author Carol Burton McLeod believes everyone can choose to be Vibrant: Developing a Deep and Abiding Joy for All Seasons-and such a life begins by emulating Jesus. His life was filled with challenges and yet people were drawn to Him. Every character trait that we are called to embrace, every action of kindness or love, and each word of compassion or tenderness is a telling reflection of Christ within us. We are called to be a vibrant show-and-tell of what God is able to accomplish through one ordinary person.
Carol explores what it means to follow Jesus in a world filled with disappointment, rejection, and discouragement. And she provides gentle encouragement and suggestions from Scripture to help us do just that.

Jesus Is God
$11.95Add to cartI am a simple man writing an unbiased look at one of the Bibles’ hottest topics; Is Jesus God? I give you the simple facts, plain Scripture, and a straight forward view of what is being said in the Bible minus any religious mumbo-jumbo. You will be taken around the Bible to see where Scripture talks about the topic of Jesus being God. I researched, studied, and prayed about what I was finding over a five year period. This book is what has come from that painstaking adventure. I grew up in a Baptist church. I have not attended any traditional schooling for Biblical learning and have not been trained by any theological professors so my mind has not been tainted to their views. Scripture says that you don’t need anyone to teach you the Word, the Holy Spirit will lead you to it. What you get from me is what the Holy Spirit and I have found together.

I Am A Sheep
$22.49Add to cartIf someone were to call you a sheep, you might take offense to it. However, in the eyes of God, being His sheep is meant in a loving way as one cared for by the Good Shepherd, Jesus. Author Debbie Cole learned of this truth during a period of struggle in her life.
While practicing sheep herding with her dogs, Debbie began to notice how sheep interacted with her. Through this experience, Debbie believes God was showing her the need for her to follow Jesus as a sheep that He cares for. Her new book, I AM A SHEEP?!?!, expounds on Debbie’s journey of faith in learning who she is as a child of God, a sheep of the Good Shepherd, Jesus. She combines the truths she learned with the experiences herding sheep and witnessing how sheep respond to someone they trust, like a shepherd. Despite the valley she was in, Debbie made time for daily Bible reading and study.
The twenty-third psalm from King David is what stood out to her as one capturing the essence of a believer trusting the Good Shepherd, as He leads us next to still waters and green pastures.
Readers will enjoy learning the distinct characteristics and qualities that sheep have, shown through the author’s time with her flock, as well as how parallels can be drawn between a sheep and shepherd and our relationship with God and Jesus. There are also questions at each chapter’s end to inspire thought on the topics shared. Sheep may be seen by some as unwilling to follow their shepherd, but I AM A SHEEP?!?! proves sheep following after Jesus are following the one that loves and cares for them the most. Debbie Cole draws from her experience as a shepherd, sheep owner, dog handler, and devoted Christian to shed light on how our relationship with Jesus parallels His love for the sheep of this world. She has valuable experience in tending sheep and competing in sheep dog trials and thus possesses deep insight into their nature and tendencies. She is a skilled sign language interpreter and has presented many classes and lectures on this relationship to both Deaf and Hearing audiences. For many years she has spread the love she received from Christ with her husband, two daughters, ten grandchildren, and all who know her.

Nuggets Of Truth
$24.99Add to cartInspirational writing meets Bible commentary
Nuggets of Truth stands as a different kind of devotional. It is, perhaps, more in keeping with Oswald Chamber’s
My Utmost for His Highest in that it is meant to teach more than it is meant to simply inspire. Not that each Nugget
of Truth does not inspire. On the contrary, it stands as a very inspirational book even as the Scriptures themselves
never fail to inspire. Indeed, the content of each individual devotional is full of Scripture. Each Nugget of Truth is designed to provide the reader with a short Bible study. Hence, the reader is more of a student than simply a reader. The considerable content of each day’s study digs deep enough with a pointed focus that the student effectively goes through a mini Bible college program once having gone through the entire year.The sub-title of Nuggets of Truth, A Bible Student’s Devotional and A Bible Teacher’s Resource Handbook, reveals the twofold purpose and use of this book. It is meant to be a devotional for Bible students and for Bible teachers. In keeping with this second purpose, the devotional is exhaustively indexed. With its indexes, Nuggets of Truth can be used by
Bible teachers as a resource for their teaching ministries.Eighty pages of downloadable indices available with purchase!

Hear Gods Voice
$14.99Add to cartImagine a life in which you clearly hear God’s voice and follow His will daily.
Do you long for God to speak to you, bringing guidance, strength, and comfort? Perhaps you have been praying for a word from God, but the heavens seem silent. Nothing is more important than knowing how to hear from God because our spiritual life depends on it. Without it, we can’t know and obey His will for us, and we may go down the wrong path or miss His plans for us.
The Bible teaches and guides us in essential matters, but instruction for God’s specific, daily purposes for our lives comes from His Holy Spirit, who lives within us. Being able to hear from God is a growing, deepening process that leads us into His perfect plans. Through his extensive study of the Scriptures and personal life experiences, internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince explains the practical steps you can take to hear from God, develop a close relationship with Him, remove obstacles to recognizing His voice, and understand the ways in which He communicates.
Hearing God enables us to follow Him more confidently, love Him more deeply, and serve Him more completely. As you cultivate the practice of hearing God’s voice, you will receive the fresh, daily bread that nourishes you spiritually and find divine direction and strength for your ongoing walk with Him.
This is the lifestyle you have been waiting for: hearing God’s voice and following Him each day, each step of the way.
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

Rules Of Engagement
$14.99Add to cart“Disagreement among Christians is bound to happen. In fact, it’s almost guaranteed. But what happens when that disagreement turns to anger, resentment, and infighting? And what happens when such infighting is taken into public view for all to see? Is there ever a time where a battle of words is justified? How do we know what doctrines and viewpoints call for a full-fledged Christian assault and which ones call for a casual discourse? And where is grace in it all? These are all legitimate questions every Christian needs to address while deciding when and how to engage one another. Rules of Engagement will take the reader on a thoughtful review of the Christian’s higher calling. Through this book, readers will be introduced to a classification system to help them determine which types of doctrines are of high and low importance, thus identifying which hills to die on and which hills to concede. We cannot afford to fumble our way through Christian interaction, since it is the very glory of God which is at stake and the supposed image of Christ that we bear.”

Redeeming Power : Understanding Authority And Abuse In The Church
$21.99Add to cartPower has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. Speaking into current #metoo and #churchtoo conversations, this book shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power.
Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book not only helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.

Spiritual Practices Of Jesus
$26.99Add to cartLuke’s Gospel was written to transform. In its original context, readers would have seen a portrait of Jesus as an ideal teacher and king, able to shape his people through exemplary leadership. They would have come to the Gospel expecting to be changed for God’s purposes through the lifestyle and teaching of Christ. When today’s readers approach the text in the same way, they can be transformed too. Spiritual Practices of Jesus explores Luke’s portrait of the spirituality of Jesus, focusing on the themes of simplicity, humility, and prayer in his life and teaching. After setting the cultural and historical scene, Catherine Wright considers how Jesus models these three values and then explores how different readers have understood and employed key Lukan passages for spiritual formation, starting with Luke’s first-century audience and tracing the reception of these texts in the ancient church. Demonstrating a theological interpretation of Jesus’ spirituality grounded in church tradition, this accessible book combines New Testament studies and spiritual formation to provide fresh insight into the biblical text. Wright invites students to learn with the church about godly approaches to money, self-perception, relationships, spiritual practices, and more. Luke’s Gospel reveals that as we individually and corporately imitate Jesus, we live lives of greater authenticity, are oriented toward his kingdom, and are transformed by his manner of life.

Because Of Bethlehem
$22.99Add to cartA remarkable gift can arrive in an unremarkable package. One did in Bethlehem. In Because of Bethlehem, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado will rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas and heal your heartache by showing you how to embrace the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you.
Max Lucado loves Christmas. Let the sleigh bells ring. Let the carolers sing. The more Santas the merrier. The more trees the better.
He loves it because somewhere someone will ask the Christmas questions: What’s the big deal about the baby in the manger? Who was he? What does his birth have to do with me?
And the answers he’s found give us all hope. God knows what it’s like to be a human. When we talk to him about deadlines or long lines or tough times, he understands. He’s been there. He’s been here. Because of Bethlehem, we have a friend in heaven.
And Christmas begins what Easter celebrates. The child in the cradle became the King on the cross. Because of Bethlehem, we have a Savior in heaven.
These are the heart-shaping promises of Christmas. Long after the guests have left and the carolers have gone home and the lights have come down, these promises endure.
Let’s turn on the lamp, curl up in a comfortable spot, and look into the odd, wonderful story of Bethlehem.
Max has found a lifetime of hope, and you will, too.

Revolution : An Urgent Call To A Holy Uprising
$18.99Add to cartA revolution of repentance by the power of the Holy Spirit is needed in the church to bring renewal to a hurting nation.
After reading Revolution you will understand what a biblical revolution looks like and how to implement it, starting within your own heart, and going outward from there.
This book is not a call to the violent overthrow of the government, nor is it a call to take up arms, nor is it a call to political activism in and of itself. It is a call to something far more extreme, a call to live out the gospel with all its radical claims, a call for the people of God to impact this generation with the prophetic message of repentance, a call to spark the most sweeping counterculture movement in our nation’s history, a call to take back the moral high ground that has been stolen from under our feet, a call to follow Jesus by life or by death. Revolution answers such questions as: What is the role of the Christian and the church during these tumultuous times?
*How are we to respond to the racial upheaval happening in our nation?
*What is the church’s role in healing the divide in our fractured, divided country?
Dr. Brown turns up the volume in this call to God’s remnant people to pray, repent, and act according to the teachings of Jesus–who is calling us to holy revolution.

Weve Never Been This Way Before
$15.99Add to cartFrom Best-Selling Author R. T. Kendall
What if I told you the “new normal” is that nothing will be normal again?
As recent events have unfolded, not only America but the entire world has been brought to the precipice of the most challenging moments of our lifetimes. But while these times seem unprecedented and unchartered to us, they are not to God. Much like He said to Joshua and the children of Israel standing on the edge of the Promised Land, God now says to us: “You have never been this way before” (Josh.3:4). God’s word is tender, challenging, and scary. God knows where we’ve been and where we are going. As we cope with extraordinary new outbreaks of disease, racism, and cultural upheaval, we have been forced to recognize that we are not prepared for this. Nobody is.
Yet there is hope. In this timely message, trusted theologian R. T. Kendall helps you navigate the way forward by exploring how God led His people in the past. Along the way, he answers questions such as:
*Where is God in all this?
*What do Christians have to offer the rest of the world during these times?
*Did the devil cause these things? Did God cause them?
*If God allowed these things to happen, then why?Just like today’s Christians, the people of great faith listed in Hebrews 11 had to grapple with things that had not been encountered before. They needed unprecedented faith to accomplish God’s purpose in unprecedented times. Join R. T. Kendall on this journey to understand what God is saying to His people in this critical hour, the ways He has already equipped you to face these uncertainties, and how to know His plan for your future.
This book will help you understand what God is saying to us during this time of uncertainty and change.

Lords Prayer : How Jesus Taught Us To Talk To Our Father
$11.95Add to cartJesus’ disciples watched Him regularly go away by Himself to pray to His Father. This made such an impression on them that they asked Jesus to teach them to pray. We now know this prayer as “The Lord’s Prayer” or “The Our Father.” A more accurate description would be “The Disciple’s’ Prayer.”
Was Jesus just giving His disciples a specific prayer to recite – a string of unchanging words in an unchanging sequence – or was He giving us a “way” to talk to His Father.
Explore how and what Jesus taught His disciples about talking to His Father – and ours.
