Multicultural Church : Embracing Unity And Restoration
$12.99Add to cartDespite the progress our country has made in Civil Rights over the past century, Sunday morning is still one of the most segregated times in America. It seems like the only people striving to lead in the area of racial reconciliation are politicians, activists, and celebrities. Pastor Dan Willis wants to know… Where is the church? What can the people of God do to become leaders again and not just be Johnny-come-lately followers? The art of bringing harmony to the masses lies in the love all should see in the church of God. If the church is to make a difference and return to relevance in this world, the only option is multicultural ministry. If leaders are not prepared to minister to this growing culture, then American Christianity is in danger of becoming nonessential to the body of believers. For years, Dan Willis has led a growing, multicuItural Christian community in the suburbs of Chicago. In The Multicultural Church, Dan shares what he has learned, the mistakes he has made, and what can be done to successfully minister to a diverse culture.

Thou Shalt Not Be A Jerk
$17.99Add to cartAccording to Eugene Cho, Christians should never profess blind loyalty to a party. Any party. But they should engage with politics, because politics inform policies which impact people.
In Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk: A Christian’s Guide to Engaging Politics, Cho encourages readers to remember that hope arrived–not in a politician, system, or great nation–but in the person of Jesus Christ.
With determination and heart, Cho urges readers to stop vilifying those they disagree with–especially the vulnerable–and asks Christians to follow Jesus and reflect His teachings. In this book that integrates the pastoral, prophetic, practical, and personal, readers will be inspired to stay engaged, have integrity, listen to the hurting, and vote their convictions.
“When we stay in the Scriptures, pray for wisdom, and advocate for the vulnerable, our love for politics, ideology, philosophy, or even theology, stop superseding our love for God and neighbor.”

Father Friend And Judge
$21.99Add to cartDiscover Prayer as a Supernatural Portal to Spiritual Dimensions!
Many believers’ prayers go unanswered because they never fully enter the spiritual realms that their prayers unlock!
Apostolic leader and author, Robert Henderson, is world-renowned for his bestselling series on The Courts of Heaven. In this new work on prayer, Robert provides Biblical strategies for every believer to unleash the full power of their prayers, and see them answered!
God gave us prayer as more than a religious ritual. In fact, prayer is a supernatural portal through which we encounter God in multiple spiritual dimensions!
In the Gospels, Jesus presented three different dimensions of prayer. Each one is connected to a specific identity of God:
*Father: We encounter God the Father in the Secret Place and Throne of Grace.
*Friend: We take our place as Friends of God when we operate as intercessors.
*Judge: We come before the Judge when we are dealing with an adversary who resists our breakthrough.When Christians learn how to operate in each of these spiritual dimensions, they can align their prayers with God’s will, and release His power for miraculous results!

Goodbye Yesterday
$16.99Add to cartFROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE PRAYER WARRIOR’S WAY; THE ART OF WAR FOR SPIRITUAL BATTLE; HELLO, TOMORROW!; AND COMMANDING YOUR MORNING SELLING MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES COMBINED.
Your yesterday does not define your tomorrow.
This book will set you free from the past, change the way you see yourself, and push you to pursue your future and all that God has for you.
Each of us is born with a seed of greatness, but in many of us, it never grows to maturity because we don’t realize our full potential. We continue to live day-to-day based on the failures, defeatist attitude, and purposelessness of the past rather than acknowledging that we were created for more.
Using insights gained from the Book of Genesis, Goodbye, Yesterday! teaches readers the nine principles of faith they need to be set free from the past, change the way they see themselves, and move fully into all that God has for them to do and to be. It enables readers to renegotiate their future, redefine their destiny, reestablish their dominion in a world of chaos, and realize their full potential as God’s representatives on the earth.
This book will help readers move beyond the self-defeating behaviors and mind-sets of the past and embrace the “awesome” person God designed them to be!

Is It Soup Yet
$13.99Add to cartFollowing my Grandmother’s old recipe for homemade Chicken soup one day, I began to see similarities in each step to those of the refining process the Holy Spirit was doing in my own life. We, as Christians have been predestined to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. It’s a daily work of the Holy Spirit in us that brings it about. The process of dying to self and opening the way for Jesus to live life through us.
I have written this book for the Body of Christ, both those who are new in their faith walk and mature Christians, to encourage, teach and challenge them to open themselves up to the amazing work the Holy Spirit desires to do in our lives.
I have held this revelation in my heart for many years now. But as I look at our world and see the faces of so many who are desperately searching for something to fill the emptiness and loneliness in their hearts, I realize we have what they need in us, Jesus Christ. I believe that in such a time as this, it’s time for the Church, us, to show Jesus to the world as never before.
I have lived, and experienced the events of each page and hope and pray that as you read and study it, you will learn to look at your life’s experiences no longer as just coincidence and evil circumstances of this world but as Spiritual events in the Transformation process.

Learning To Be
$16.99Add to cartNow, more than ever, there is an alarming number of people searching for spiritual health, a subversive movement leaving a once vibrant faith behind.
The process of deconstructing one’s faith can be helpful, but without intentional reconstruction, people end up doing more harm than good. There is a global trend of Christians returning to the liturgy of the early Church as an antidote to the overly-produced mega-church versions that tend to leave people in first gear, while simultaneously encouraging them to jump directly to fifth gear without all the preparation found in the middle gears. In Learning to Be, Chad E. Jarnagin shares a life-changing perspective of a healthy faith by challenging and investigating spiritual orientations, postures, and healthy ways forward.
Learning to Be posits that people are not able to move forward with new, healthy practices and rhythms without first healing from past toxins, abuse, and unhealthy patterns. Chad points out some of the issues believers face and why in order to show that there are healthy ways forward through new (old) spiritual practices and postures that enhance and assist stillness and a slower pace. He also provides weekly worship directions and traditions that help reorient a life of devotion while addressing spiritual practices found in Anglicanism, as well as Benedictine and Ignatian Spirituality that help people of all sectors of faith move forward and learn to be still again.

Citizen : Faithful Discipleship In A Partisan World
$29.95Add to cartA must-read for Christians in the present political conversation Speaks to the larger narrative of faith rather than mere partisan storytelling Citizen helps Christians find our place in the politics of the world. In these pages, Bishop Andy Doyle offers a Christian virtue ethic grounded in fresh anthropology. He offers a vision of the individual Christian within the reign of God and the life of the broader community. He adds to the conversation in both church and culture by offering a renewed theological underpinning to the complex nature of Christianity in a post-modern world. How did we get here? Is this the way it has to be? Are there implications for conversations about politics within the church? Doyle contends that our current debates are not about one partisan narrative winning, but communities of diversity being unified by a relationship with God’s grand narrative. Crafting a deep theological conversation with a unified approach to the Old and New Testament, Citizen asks, what does it truly mean to live in community?”

Sider, author of the influential Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, plumbs Scripture, building a persuasive case that Jesus meant what he said when he commanded us to love our enemies.
Is nonviolence irresponsible? Is peacemaking naive?
From one of the most respected and prophetic voices in Christianity today comes Speak Your Peace. Ronald J. Sider, author of the influential Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, plumbs Scripture, building a persuasive case that Jesus meant what he said when he commanded us to love our enemies.With candor and logic, Sider takes on enduring questions about violence and nonviolence, showing how the contemporary church in a warring world has largely set aside Jesus’ call to love our enemies and traded its birthright in Christ for a stew of nationalism and militarism. But ignoring what Jesus said about killing is a huge theological mistake. Returning us to the inescapable call of the Son of God, Sider reminds the church of its true vocation in a world of hatred and war.

More than ever, politics seems driven by conflict and anger. People sitting together in pews every Sunday have started to feel like strangers, loved ones at the dinner table like enemies. Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers say there is a better way.

Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With
$16.99Add to cartChristians are increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation, homosexuality, gender identity or transgender rights. In fact for many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity.

Irrepressible : 12 Principles For A Courageous Resilient And Fulfilling Lif
$14.99Add to cartThis book is for women who want to make a difference, it creates a conversation around how we should live as women of influence.
Questions about a woman’s place are being asked in all areas of society. Cathy Madavan aims to cheer women on, to give them courage, to create awareness about their potential and to challenge them to keep ‘lifting the lid’. We are surrounded by women who make a difference. Some thrive in a board room, some in a pulpit, some in a nursery. Some are wired for deadlines, others for creativity. But every woman will influence those around her. How do we learn from others without simply aping or imitating those we admire? Do we have the emotional intelligence and self-awareness to know that the very people who frustrate us are often the ones we need most? However, most women also wrestle with confidence, knowing their identity and place, juggling their lives and managing expectations. This book equips and empowers women. It encourages them to be an irrepressible positive influence and a voice for others. It is a resource and treasury, with principles, stories and insights. Cathy addresses her topic through a series of penetrating questions. What are your personal values and vision? What is your true character? Are you a thermometer, measuring the climate, or a thermostat, setting the temperature? Where does self-assurance come from, and how does it differ from arrogance? Who are your role models? How do you counteract stereotypes and sticky labels? Are you investing in self-leadership, in personal development? How do you build your core relationships, and widen your circle? Do you have healthy boundaries, and the ability to say no? How can you develop resilience? How can you create balance between work and life, exterior and interior?

For An Audience Of One
$17.99Add to cartSeek honor and praise from God and not people.
This book will help you to stop being motivated by the approval of others and instead start living for the validation that comes from God alone.
Respected author and theologian R. T. Kendall shares a profound revelation of the meaning of John 5:44, the scripture that has guided his life for more than sixty years. Early in his ministry the wise counsel of two mentors brought this scripture to light, and he has determined to live by it ever since. Now he passes on the same wise counsel to his readers.In For an Audience of One, Kendall explores what it means to truly live for Christ alone. Many Christians believe in God and claim that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, but sadly their actions betray them. They are more concerned about the approval of people. They avoid truly following God’s leading or taking a bold stand for righteousness if they fear they might lose a friend. Because they are more worried about what people think than what God thinks, they miss out on what God is doing.
It’s time to learn what a life truly surrendered to God–and God alone–looks like. Readers can live the life He has purposed for them! They can stop being motivated by fear of others and addicted to their approval. For an Audience of One shows readers how to start living for the honor and praise that comes from God alone!

Is nonviolence irresponsible? Is peacemaking naive?
From one of the most respected and prophetic voices in Christianity today comes Speak Your Peace. Ronald J. Sider, author of the influential Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, plumbs Scripture, building a persuasive case that Jesus meant what he said when he commanded us to love our enemies.With candor and logic, Sider takes on enduring questions about violence and nonviolence, showing how the contemporary church in a warring world has largely set aside Jesus’ call to love our enemies and traded its birthright in Christ for a stew of nationalism and militarism. But ignoring what Jesus said about killing is a huge theological mistake. Returning us to the inescapable call of the Son of God, Sider reminds the church of its true vocation in a world of hatred and war.
