Close Enough To Hear God Breathe

Why does just hearing the word holiness make many of us uncomfortable?
*We think holiness means restrictive rules and regulations.

*We fear we could never live up to what holiness requires.The more we think of holiness in terms of what we must not do, the more control these activities seem to have over us.

Thinking Loving Doing
$22.50This compilation equips and challenges us to love God and others with heart and mind and hands.The Christian life is more than thinking-but not less. And it’s more than feeling-but not less. It’s more than doing as well-but never less. Healthy followers of Jesus engage their minds, hearts, and hands in glorifying him.This volume, built on the 2010 Desiring God National Conference and John Piper’s recent book Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God argues that thinking and the affections of the heart are inseparable. Our emotions fuel our thoughts for God. Likewise, hard thinking about God leads to deeper joy in our relationship with him. And both, in turn, help us focus outward as we express a greater love for others.Contributions by Rick Warren, Francis Chan, John Piper, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, and Thabiti Anyabwile bring a wealth of perspective and experience in calling for readers to love God and others with heart and mind and hands.

Holiness By Grace (Reprinted)

Your 100 Day Prayer
$19.99Readers are guided through 100 days of intentional prayer and biblical truth that transform their spiritual lives and reveal God’s provision for their needs.
Anything worth having in this life is worth waiting for and worth striving for. Unlike the world, though, Christians are called to a much different kind of pursuit when they survey their dreams, desires, and needs. Instead of an indulgent wish list, Christians are called to live a transformed life where they become more like Christ through the journey of striving after God’s will. In a time when both the world and even some Christians preach instant gratification, Your 100 Day Prayer offers another path-one of transformation while asking, seeking, and knocking for deep desires and desperate needs.
There is nothing guaranteed about 100 days, but as author John Synder says, “This sustained, stubborn, never-give-up spirit of prayer is not so much to persuade God to give us what we want, but rather to transform us in the process.” Your 100 Day Prayer helps readers combine their need with God’s will in a measured, structured, and instructional experience that results in greater spiritual maturity, clarity about God’s provision, and real answers to their very real needs. Because our “Father in heaven gives good gifts to those who ask him.” (Matthew 7:11).

Now, in this never-before-published distillation of his best teaching on the subject, you will gain a fresh understanding of the cross’s centrality to your walk of faith in Christ.The apostle Paul declared in his letter to the Galatians that he had been “crucified with Christ.” But what does this mean?

The Crucified Life is a comprehensive examination of these questions, answered with the deep, biblical thinking for which Tozer was revered. “God is ingenious in developing crosses for His followers,” Tozer was fond of saying. At the heart of this book, you will find a call to follow Christ to the cross and be raised to new life–a call to live the crucified life.

Negotiating With God
$14.99Introduction
Part One: What We Negotiate About
Part Two: Identifying The Negotiators
Part Three: Overcoming Issues In Our Negotiations
Conclusion
EndnotesAdditional Info
Life is negotiation. Life is all about our interactions with others-family, friends, colleagues, and most significantly, God-on our way to greater understanding, cooperation and intimacy.From his informed perspectives on both faith and the law, Kevin Rachel-a Christian attorney-traces the often-neglected theme of negotiation throughout Scripture, exploring the many instances of men and women wrestling with the will of Almighty God. In his personal and appealing style, Kevin employs a first-rate storytelling ability to invite us into the lives of people determined to draw nearer to the God who, incredibly, welcomes us to the negotiating table. “Ask! Seek! Knock!” said God when he walked among us. “Explore my will! Communicate with me! Engage with me!”
Along the way, Negotiating with God asks us to examine more honestly many of our most fundamental and formative values: our assumptions about God, our prayer practices, our motives and behaviors in seeking resolution with one another, our uses of power, our understanding of Jesus our Mediator, and ultimately, our willingness to submit our wills to the Sovereign Lord of All.

Spirit Filled Church
$13.99How the Holy Spirit works through the church today
A lucid account of the function of the Spirit in the growth of the church. Through the history of God’s people the constant element has been the presence of the Almighty. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, which so galvanized the young church, equipped and empowered the believers, boosting courage, fostering fluency and granting insights to ordinary men and women. Terry Virgo was baptized in the Holy Spirit as a young believer, and delighted in the experience. ‘As we began to welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit, our church life was transformed,’ he explains. ‘The presence of the Holy Spirit changed everything.’ As the Spirit moves, so there are healings, often dramatic. But there is more: a discovery of God’s grace. As people discover grace for themselves a far more profound healing takes place, leading first to worship, then a recognition that we are a prophetic people.

Saving Desire : The Seduction Of Christian Theology
$22.99Traditional Christian theology has generally treated desire as a dark and negative force intimately related to sin – something to be restricted and repressed, closeted and controlled. But, according to LeRon Shults and Jan-Olav Henriksen’s Saving Desire, we see only part of the picture if we do not also perceive that desire can be a powerful force for great good. Grounding their work firmly in the experiential realm of human life, the eight eminent theologians contributing to this volume celebrate together the positivity, the sociality, and the physicality of saving desire – that is, humankind’s innate desire not only for the “good life” but also, more vitally, for the life-transforming goodness of God.

With : Reimagining The Way You Relate To God
$19.99Instead of life over, under, from, or even for God, what leads us into freedom and restoration is life with God. Why are American Christians, who have more access to biblical teaching than any other people in history, failing to experience the freedom of the Christian life? Why are pastors, those closest to the work and ministry, burning out at an alarming rate? Why do many church members, who give large amounts of their time and wealth to Christ and his kingdom, secretly question the legitimacy of their efforts? And why are spiritual seekers dismissing the validity of the Christian message? Is it possible we’ve misunderstood the call of the Christian life?
With explores the narrative of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and the stories of faithful women and men throughout history, to show that we were created to be with God, and that restoring this connection is his mission. When we neglect this calling in favor of a life over, under, or even for God, we will not know the freedom Christ intended. But a life lived in rich communion with God cultivates faith, hope, and love in a way that transforms both us and the broken world we inhabit.

Unnoticed Neighbors : A Pilgrimage Into The Social Justice Story (Reprinted)

This is a pilgrimage.
Pilgrimage takes us outside our expected patterns and into something immediately more challenging and dynamic. It’s on pilgrimage that our souls begin a journey that takes us up mountain passes and brings us down transformed.

You’ll go behind and into the human trafficking underworld and perhaps you’ll see your neighbor-from across the street or across the world-for the first time.

Mirror Ball : Living Boldly And Shining Brightly For The Glory Of God
$12.99When it comes to a life of mission and worship, it’s not about our own light and brilliance-we have none. But when we allow God to shine through us, we become a dazzling testimony to His radiance.
–Matt Redman, Mirror BallPassion is more than a song or a feeling. It’s a story of guts and glory, pain, and purpose. For anyone who follows Jesus, passion is a way of life. But how do we live out this grand calling?
In Mirror Ball, worship leader and songwriter Matt Redman reminds us that even when we feel insufficient to reflect God’s glory, God can show through us as light radiates through a prism. Living in this truth will transform how we view our words, our relationships, our daily lives.
You–and your world–will never be the same.

Rumors Of God
$18.99Rumors of God is a call to Christians seeking a vision of the life God is calling them to, one that transcends the shallowness of our culture. Most Christians today live with tension. What is promised in the Scriptures seems like a far cry from what we experience in our lives. As a result, we can lose our passion to live out our faith in the world, and the God of Scripture seems more a series of rumors of divinity than actual tangible, accessible reality. As our world grows more ungodly, it often feels as if the future of the people of God hangs in the balance. In the seventh century B.C., the prophet Habakkuk also fell prey to a spirit of discouragement, and he penned these words: “LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.” Today we live in a similar spiritual and cultural moment to that of Habakkuk, and we, too, long to renew the words and deeds of God in our time. Like Habakkuk we question the future of the church and of God’s mission in our lives. In Rumors of God, authors Darren Whitehead and Jon Tyson call us to reject what is plausible, and to cry out for God to bring what is possible in our lives and in the church.
It will resonate with Christians seeking a vision of the life God is calling them to, one that transcends the shallowness of our culture.

Resting In His Redemption
$14.99The Scriptures teach clearly that God desires to live in intimate fellowship and communion with mankind. He wants us to enjoy His love, peace, joy, and companionship and to rest in His redemption, experiencing the perfect harmony and contentment and fulfillment of purpose for which He created us. God’s original purpose for creating mankind was simply for us to enjoy relationship with Him, the kind of fellowship that the first couple, Adam and Eve, enjoyed in the Garden of Eden, when God walked with them in the cool of the evening (Gen. 3:8). Then, sin entered the human experience and separated all mankind from that divine fellowship. But when we place our faith in Christ’s sacrifice for our sin, we are redeemed by the blood of Christ and justified in the sight of God. But that is not the end of the matter; it is only the beginning. God’s intention is that we be completely restored-spirit, soul, and body-to the divine rest found in His redemption, He wants us to experience that mystery of intimate communion with our Creator/Redeemer.
In this book we will discuss four important aspects of fulfilling the deepest desire of the human heart-to know God personally and intimately in the way God’s great, loving heart intended. To know the love of God that brings true heart contentment, we need to walk in the understanding of these divine principles:
The biblical basis for all prayer is resting in His redemption.
The biblical basis for all Christian living is resting in His redemption.
The biblical basis for total forgiveness is resting in His redemption.
The biblical basis for divine contentment is resting in His redemption.Your life can be transformed when you allow Him to make them a reality to your heart. The love of God can fill your heart and make you a victorious lover of the Christ. You will be ruined for any lesser, temporal pleasure or love once you taste more deeply the wonders of resting in His redemption.

Welcome To The Story
$17.99Guides Christians in reading the Bible in a way that deepens their love for God and fuels their desire to see God’s Word lived out in all of life.Stephen Nichols wants to help readers experience the Bible more fully.

“Welcome to the Story teaches believers not only how to read the Bible, but how to read it in such a way that it permeates their lives-reading, loving, and living God’s Word. Discussion includes an explanation of the four “chapters” of the biblical narrative-creation, fall, redemption, and restoration-guidelines on how to interpret Scripture, why we’re to love God’s Word, and how we’re to live and proclaim the story in word, deed, and mission.This practical guide to reading the Bible is a great resource for young and new believers and those wanting to get more out of God’s Word.

10 Things Jesus Never Said (Reprinted)
$17.00Too often Christians carry a lot of guilt and baggage when it comes to their relationship with God. The problem is that so many of us believe unbiblical, damaging things about how critical God is and how fed up he must be with us. But many of the things we think Jesus would say to us–things like “I can’t believe you call yourself a Christian,” “If you really loved me, you’d try harder,” and “I’m so disappointed in you”–are things he never said. The solution, says Will Davis Jr., is to stop believing the lies and start believing the things Jesus did say.
In 10 Things Jesus Never Said, Davis unmasks commonly believed myths about our relationship with God and shows readers how to replace this pervasive theology of failure with the truth of how Jesus really feels about them. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter help small groups or individuals apply these truths to their current situations. Anyone who has ever felt that they didn’t measure up to God’s standards will love this freeing exploration of grace and forgiveness.

WikiChurch : Making Discipleship Engaging Empowering And Viral
$14.99Most Christians agree that discipleship is important, even essential for Christian maturity; few understand biblical principles and even fewer apply a biblical process when it comes to discipleship. Discipleship isn’t complicated, but it can at times be difficult. The difficulty lies in applying the following four principles to your specific context. Simply put, here’s how anyone-young or old, male or female, pastor or entrepreneur-can make disciples.
1. Engage culture and community-When Jesus told His original twelve to go and make disciples, they did not interpret His command to mean, “Find people who are already following Me and help them become better followers.” They interpreted His “great commission” to mean that they should go and find people who were not yet followers and help them know and follow Jesus. The starting line of the disciple-making process must be evangelism that engages both our community and culture.
2. Establish spiritual foundations-If we want our disciples to survive the storms of life, we must help them establish strong biblical foundations.
3. Equip believers to minister-The biblical job description for professional ministers is to equip the “non-pros” for ministry, then get out of their way.
4. Empower disciples to make disciples-Jesus expected all of His original disciples to make disciples. He empowered them, knowing they would make mistakes. Because Jesus expects all His disciples to make disciples, we must not only equip them, but we must also empower them.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Discussion” section at the end of each chapter to further benefit

Take a casual survey of how people practice their faith, and you might reasonably conclude that Jesus spent his life going door to door offering private lessons, complete with chalkboard and pop quizzes. We think about God in the comfort of our own minds, in isolation from one another; meanwhile the world waits for a people to practice the way of Jesus together. Mark Scandrette contends that Jesus has in mind something more lively for us: not a classroom so much as a kingdom, where our formation takes place not only in our heads but in our hearts and our bodies, and in the company of one another, in a way that blesses the world we’ve been entrusted with. In Practicing the Way of Jesus Scandrette draws from his experience as a spiritual director and leader of an intentional community, as well as the best contemporary thinking on kingdom spirituality, to paint a picture of life lived together, in the way of Jesus–which is another way of saying life lived to the full.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

9. Invitation To Pray
10. Invitation To Remember
11. Invitation To The Most Excellent WayAdditional Info
Some invitations we desperately want: “Will you marry me?” “Would you consider a promotion?” Other invitations we never want to receive but must respond to all the same: “What treatment do you want for your tumor?” Invitations pound away at the coastlines of the soul with a transforming force. God is also sending invitations. Sometimes they seem less compelling than anything on my to-do list. Why would I want to say yes to the invitation to rest when I’m already so far behind? Why follow when I could lead? Why accept invitations to weep or to admit I am wrong or to wait? Saying yes might slow me down, sabotage my agenda and even undo who I think I am. Adele Calhoun, author of the popular Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, offers a book about invitations like these-divine invitations we miss or ignore because we’ve said yes to going with the cultural flow. While these invitations from God can sometimes be difficult to accept, they can heal and restore even as they shape where we go, what we do and who we become. What we say yes to, what we say no to forms the terrain of our future. Included in this book are reflection questions and exercises as well as overview charts with recommended disciplines to guide you through each theme. As you attend to the often hidden, quiet voice of the Great Inviter, you will find yourself as God created you to be.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Let God Change Your Life
$14.99Evangelist Greg Laurie calls all Christians back to radical New Testament living in his latest offering, Let God Change Your Life.
Imagine what it would have been like to be a follower of Jesus; first-century Christians walked away from their old lives just to be where He was. What they learned, sitting at His feet, was discipleship. And when His work on earth was done, first-century Christians took His words and example and spread out, teaching the gospel to everyone.
The good news is that we, too, can participate in this lifestyle. Laurie drills it down in three simple ideas: get to know Jesus, follow His plan for discipleship, and use it to tell others what we know. Laurie’s tone is clear, direct, and biblical.

How To Walk In The Supernatural Power Of God (Student/Study Guide)
$19.99Today’s church is not reaching many of the lost, sick, and hurting because believers are not taking the authority and power they have been given through Christ and going out to the world as His body. Guillermo Maldonado believes that the gospel message being presented today is anemic because it is not accompanied by signs and wonders confirming that Jesus has been raised from the dead and is alive today, still able to heal, do miracles, and conquer the devil’s oppression.
Through this companion to Guillermo Maldonado’s How to Walk in the Supernatural Power of God, you will:
Recognize human substitutes for God’s power
Develop faith for the miraculous
Seek God’s anointing to carry out His calling
Receive the glory that accompanies His supernatural presence
Protect yourself from the devil’s deception
Learn to hear God’s voice
Overcome demonic attacks
Understand how to operate in the supernatural
Once you grasp the full revelation of our supernatural God and live in it, you will be able to reach the world for Christ!

Power Of Humility
$19.99Written in the same style as his Jealousy-the Sin No One Talks About, Kendall tackles the problem of pride, bringing out into the open the challenges a majority of people face in overcoming the pride and self-righteousness that were introduced to mankind by the serpent in the Garden of Eden. He defines the various kinds of pride, including social, racial, financial, sexual, and spiritual pride, and teaches us how God uses the pride in our lives to reveal our need for Christlikeness. He demonstrates that pride lies behind the “blame game,” causing us to “pass the buck” rather than admit our guilt and thus interfering in our ability to draw closer in relationship to God.
Kendall outlines several Old Testament examples of pride. He shows how foolish pride governed most of Jacob’s life, led to King Saul becoming “yesterday’s man,” and filled Elijah’s life, even though he was a great prophet of God. Then he shows how pride surfaced in New Testament people: Peter’s pride in believing he loved Jesus most of all, the pride of the Pharisees, and the racial-religious pride that filled the Jews and was the reason they rejected Paul. Finally we take a closer look at Jesus-and Kendall teaches us the principles from the Sermon on the Mount that will lead us away from pride. He shows us that it is impossible to be Spirit-filled and self-righteous simultaneously, and he gives us biblical principles for overcoming pride and self-righteousness.

Hungry For God
$18.99In your heart you feel the longing—an emptiness that can’t be satisfied by food, or friendships, or entertainment, or success, or anything this world can offer. Only God can fill the void. More than you know, you hunger for God. In Hungry for God, critically acclaimed author Margaret Feinberg puts you in touch with your desire for intimacy with your Creator and what it takes to find fulfillment. Feinberg writes, ‘The sound of his voice is spiritual nourishment, his voice a banquet for my soul—every syllable a tasty morsel, every expression flavored with love.’ With rare insight into the Scriptures, human nature, and the heart of God, Feinberg invites you to discover the ways in which God speaks to you not from the top of some holy mountain, but in the midst of your everyday affairs. Learning to hear God’s voice isn’t as much a destination as it is a journey, and if you travel far enough, you’ll find yourself abiding in the presence of God.
Passionate, honest, and filled with wisdom and inspiration, Hungry for God will help you cultivate the holy intimacy your spirit craves.

War Of The Worlds
$15.99Adrian Plass considers the pull of the spirit and of the flesh and how this often leads us to live compartmentalised lives. We allow God only into certain bits and suffer embarrassment when our compromised private lives and shiny public lives collide.
War of the Worlds is about spiritual warfare, maturity, prayer and the fear of true commitment. It’s a book that battles to reunite the secret world of what we are, with the public world of what we appear to be, in an outrageous and seriously funny advance into the no-man’s-land of genuine Christian engagement.
Adrian brings the Bible alive with rather unexpected soap opera characters; he introduces us to a God who is much more playful than we thought and asks questions such as: If doubt and insecurity are the elephants in the room, how do we deal with these huge creatures? How have we allowed so many herds of sacred cows to grow so large? True authenticity demands a major cull.

Knowing Grace : Cultivating A Lifestyle Of Godliness
$22.99Why is it that our spiritual disciplines feel so dutiful and routine most of the time? We are called to delight in Him, to draw near and enjoy Him and yet that seems far from most of our realities. There are many fine written works describing the need, purpose, and methods of spiritual disciplines. Knowing Grace complements these by fostering and deepening the reader’s engagement with God through various means of grace. By using this terminology, “means of grace” a rightful emphasis is placed on God’s initiation, invitation, and empowering to engage with Him in ways that foster a greater sensitivity to His movements, stirrings, nudges and voice. By growing more familiar with being in His presence, one experiences more of His grace, moving us from duty to delight.

I Forgrace You
$16.99Most of us are familiar with the golden rule: “Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.” And if people treat us well, we generally do the same in return. But what about when others hurt us? Jesus gives us an even higher calling: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27-28). David Anderson shows us how we can extend extraordinary goodness to bless those who have hurt us. He presents the radical concept of “forgraceness”: grace beyond forgiveness. God empowers us not only to pardon real-life hurts, but to seek the good of others. When this happens, our relationships can experience amazing transformation and redemptive healing. We can’t do this on our own. We need God’s strength to take us to the next level. With God’s grace, we can go platinum.

But God : The Two Words At The Heart Of The Gospel
$9.99Whether from the pen of Moses, Paul, or other biblical authors, “But God” appears in various forms hundreds of times in the Bible. To understand these two words as they are used in Scripture is to understand the gospel. This book focuses on nine of the most important appearances of this key phrase, drawing in numerous other passages of Scripture and in the process unfolding the magnificent drama of God’s sovereign grace-from his mercy on Noah to our security in a resurrected Savior. Taken together, this collection of brief Bible expositions provides a big-picture overview of the consistent way in which God has chosen to save sinners. It has always been by his might, his power, his grace, and his initiative. James Montgomery Boice wrote that “If you understand those two words-‘but God’-they will save your soul. If you recall them daily and live by them, they will transform your life completely.”
