Maturing In Christ
$20.99Maturing in Christ focuses on Christian truth that relates to living a successful spiritual life. Before a Christian can realize a consistent victorious spiritual life some basic truths must be understood: 1) the riches given by God at salvation to live Christ-like; 2) who the spiritual enemies are and how they attack; 3) and how to utilize divine enabling when resisting the enemies in order to live a successful Christian life.
The Christian has three spiritual enemies: Satan, the world system and the sin nature. Dr. Schafer uses Scripture to identify these adversaries and how to access God’s provisions for the strength to be victorious over them. This expository study of the Word is dedicated to Dr. Schafer’s lifelong desire for saints to live Christ-like.

In Step With God
$19.99What is God like? Can I trust Him? Does He know me and can He help me tackle the challenges I face? There is a good chance you do not know God the way He desires and certainly not the way He knows you. Most people know a little something about Him, but their knowledge of who He is and how He works stops just past the point of an initial introduction. Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: when you come to a point where you understand His ways, your life takes on new meaning. You stop looking at old problems and feeling defeat, fear, and anxiety. Suddenly, you realize that the Person who gave you life and breath is also the One who has set an amazing course for your life to follow. In Step with God offers steps that lead not only to a deeply personal relationship with Jesus Christ but also provides the insight you need to live each day. In a simple, clear way Dr. Charles Stanley, one of America’s most loved and trusted pastors, encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisions-both big and small-by first knowing and considering God’s character.
Inside you will learn how to:
gain greater intimacy with God
understand how He uses trials to build you up
learn the signs of God’s goodness in day-to-day life
cling more firmly to His love and forgiveness
discover God’s relentless commitment to your well being.“The nearer I draw to the Lord,” writes Dr. Stanley, “the more I will know about Him-His love for me and His good plans and desires for my life. Plus, the more intimate I become with God, the better I understand His ways, and this understanding leads to a deeper longing to know God better. I learn how to discern His will not only for my life but also for the situations I encounter.”

Abide In Christ
$10.99Bottom Of The Hill Publishing Publication
Christ beckons us to His banqueting table offering a room in His house, it is up to us whether we choose to step inside. To step though means to abide in Him and experience the unspeakable joy of dwelling with the King of Kings. Andrew Murray knew what it meant to be continually in the Father’s presence. Read these thirty-one heart-searching readings and learn how to live daily in closer communion and fellowship with Him. Accept God’s invitation and live in His blessing and glory instead of shuffling your feet at the gate. “Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” –1 John 2:28 “And now, to all God’s children whom He allows me the privilege of pointing to the Heavenly Vine, I offer my fraternal love and salutations, with the prayer that to each one of them may be given the rich and full experience of the blessedness of abiding in Christ. And may the grace of Jesus, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be their daily portion. Amen.” Andrew Murray was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be “the chief end of the church.” He was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM) later becoming the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965.

Genesis And Life
$17.49Cleve Jones understands that so many people when facing many of the issues of life do not have the resources to get the help they need. Some problems are beyond the skill set of some pastors and churches. Sometimes people need a “quick hitter” to help them through the issue of the day and something inspirational, and thought provoking enough to get them to begin mentally processing about long term solutions. If this book can reach some people within that context, it will have served one of its purposes.

Step Stones : To The Second Greatest Commandment
$17.99He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Luke 10: 27-28
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. James 2: 8
I fear that Christians have gotten so caught up within our society that we have forgotten the first and second greatest commandments. In so doing we do ourselves more harm, yet it is our collective selfishness and stubbornness that keeps us from acknowledging that we are nothing without God. We are not doing right and I fear that many will not live. I also fear that many do not know what love is because we have misused the word so often. Step Stones is the path that God led me down when I needed to discover what love really is. My prayers are that it is not too late for our society; that Christians can be the ones leading us to a right standing so that we can we can be forgiven. We must first get back to the basics of what we are called to do. It all comes down to not what God can do for me, but what can I do to further the Kingdom of God. Only love true love will lead us out of this mess we are in.

In his third and final book in the Apprentice Series, James Bryan Smith helps us know how to live in relationship with others as apprentices of Jesus. “Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders,” he writes. “They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live.” Yet many times we’ve gotten it wrong, tending to emphasize personal faith over social justice or vice versa. In these pages Jim Smith shows us how to bring spiritual formation and community engagement together, and then once again offers spiritual practices that root new, true narratives about God and the world in our souls. His insight and humility as a fellow learner with us will lead us to live in authentic ways as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers, shining the light of the Spirit into every relationship.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

$14.99Men today have important decisions to make about family, career, and ministry. Sometimes the choices can seem overwhelming, and men end up making decisions by default-by doing what comes naturally rather than by carefully thought-out principles. In The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make, popular author and speaker Bill Farrel gives men the hands-on decision-making tools they need to make the kinds of choices they won’t regret. Farrel encourages men to discover the joy of finding their place in God’s plan as they
explore the positive benefits of making healthy decisions:
discover their personal pace in life and make decisions in keeping with that pace
develop a plan for godliness that relieves the burden of self-effort
learn to make decisions based on personal character rather than what feels right at the momentAdd to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Life Exchanger
$16.99The Ultimate Heart-Connection In a World Full of Rejection
Back in 1981, the real life story of a Commoner in the United Kingdom rose to global notoriety from the announcement of her engagement to royalty.

Worship As It Is In Heaven (Reprinted)
$18.00According to the Psalms, God is enthroned on the praises of His people–and it is from that throne that He governs the heavens and the earth. If this picture of God’s rule, found throughout the Scriptures, is accurate, shouldn’t the Body of Christ seek to praise the King of heaven and earth in ways that release His kingdom government into specific circumstances? John A. Dickson and Chuck D. Pierce, coauthors of Worship As It Is in Heaven, offer the church a fresh look at heaven’s pattern of worship, instituted in David’s tabernacle and renewed through Jesus’ apostles in the earliest days of the church. This “apostolic worship” is God’s chosen way of establishing His will on earth; through worship, the forces of darkness are pushed back and righteousness prevails. In Worship As It Is in Heaven, readers are invited to enter in to a fullness of worship that the world has too rarely seen: worship that is the conduit of God’s government of peace, justice, and holiness on the earth.

Art Of Breathing
$15.99Making a living or really living?
Really living is an art form. After a few years on this planet, really living seems a bit idealistic. We are more likely to settle for making a living. So what happened? How did our stories end up here? How did we become so disconnected from the life for which we were made? Is there any hope of really living the abundant life Jesus promised?
Life on this side of Eden is not what we hoped for. It is not what we were made for. Something is missing. As we abide in Christ, we offer Him our hearts. He, in turn, offers His heart. We point to Him. He points to us. We give Him our pain. He heals and restores us to wholeness. We give our sin. He gives His forgiveness. We give our lives. He gives His life. We breathe out ourselves and inhale His presence, a fluid motion of abiding. This is the abundant life. This is the art of breathing.

Soul Custody
$15.99Soul Custody calls readers to pay attention to the state of their soul-and free it to thrive.
Every day, inner and outer violence ravages the soul, leaving us weak, fearful, and malnourished. In Soul Custody, Stephen W. Smith presents eight choices to help readers reclaim custody of their one and only life-choices about silence, community, vocation, honoring the body, finding one’s true self, and more. As Smith reminds readers, allowing God to shape the soul leads to the deep, full, and satisfying life that God had in mind all along.This is not a self-help book. It is not a book of easy steps to a happy life. It is an invitation to the life God dreams for each of His children. It is a call to start living-to let the soul wake up to life as God intended.

Walking In Wide Places
$17.99And I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. Psalm 119:45
If you are currently hemmed in and know the pain of feeling trapped, you are probably feeling drawn to this book. Christine Wyrtzen has a heart for you. Confinement has marked much of her life and she had no idea that spacious places, internally, could exist in the midst of crushing circumstances.
If you are intrigued and feel nudged to embark on this journey through Psalm 119, you have a powerful experience awaiting you. You will never look at the Torah again without praising its power and its beauty.
Right now, Jesus sees you in your pit of confinement. Whatever circumstances have fashioned your prison bars, He extends a hand to you. “Come on out,” He invites. “Live by the Word that comes out of my mouth. I will teach you to embrace my ways, and when you listen and follow me, you will know spacious places.” Deliverance from confinement always starts in the heart. The vistas of the kingdom are just around the corner.

Grace In The Shadow Of The Cross
$18.99Grace in the Shadow of the Cross is a creative autobiography about how one little girl’s unspeakable abuse became one joyful woman’s testimony of healing. This true story is told in three voices: Ann’s first-hand experiences are described through the character of Grace (who begins with the name Prophet). Accompanying her voice are those of Father God and Deceiver. Father God speaks mainly through Scriptures but also through private prayer conversations actually experienced by Ann. Deceiver’s cruel voice will be all too familiar to abuse survivors.
This book is for those who have known abuse as well as those who love them. It is for the broken, the beaten, the humbled, and the humiliated. Ultimately, it’s a story of hope that will encourage you-no matter your past pain-that God loves you and desires to heal your heart.

Way Of Wisdom
$16.49The apostle Paul tells us that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). At the same time, the book of Proverbs is specifically designed for the discipleship of our sons and daughters. You may not find “education” listed in your concordance, but if you broaden your search to include “son” or “sons” references in Proverbs occur in great abundance. And for good reason, as its main purpose is for teaching children: “To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing” (Pro. 1:2-3). Therefore, I believe parents should be rigorously intentional about teaching Proverbs to their children.
Rearing wise children in an age of foolishness requires concerted effort and thoughtfulness… My hope and prayer is that this book will aid parents as they fulfill their mandate to disciple their children and bring them up in The Way of Wisdom

When Jesus Came Into My Room
$16.49This book is a charming story of a young child’s experience when he in 1960, together with his big family, immigrated to Canada – far away from their homeland Denmark.
We follow him from his early years, as he struggles to adapt to a new culture – all is written in a touching and moving way, but not without a stroke of humour as well.
It all leads up to the year of 1971 where his life took a completely and unexpected turn, beginning from that night in January when “Jesus Christ entered his room!”
The year turned out to be a year of divine visitation for the author.
This book is a great testimony about God’s love and his readiness to reveal himself even to those who don’t seek him.
“My faith in God has been strengthened greatly by reading this book. God is able to make himself known to persons, whether they seek him or not. Esben Rokholm is my co worker in the ministry in my country as well as my friend and my coach and I thank God for him! I can warmly recommend this book!

Unburdened : The Secret To Letting God Carry The Things That Weigh You Down
$16.99Tyndale House Print On Demand Title
In his Word, God promises us freedom from worry. Wouldn’t it be nice if we actually believed him? What would happen if you took the concerns that grip you, that keep you awake at night, that clench your stomach in knots . . . and truly handed them over to his keeping?
Like no other writer can do, best-selling author Chris Tiegreen opens your eyes and heart to a better, more weightless way to live. Unburdened won’t teach you how to avoid responsibility or hide from serious issues. Neither is it about how to escape and go live on a beach-though having a couple of palm trees around never hurts. It’s about taking the burdens you currently carry and making them much, much lighter. It’s about transferring the weight of your responsibilities from the weak shoulders of your flesh to the strong fingertips of God. It’s about learning to live in deep-down, heart-level freedom. And no one who reads Unburdened will walk away unchanged.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong? In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my trust in God? In the sixteen hundreds, Philipp Jakob Spener’s love for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible to their life moved him to start “Colleges of Piety,” or small groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more like Christ? The history of the church has shaped what our faith and practice are like today. It’s tempting to think that the way we do things now is best, but history also has much to teach us about what we’ve forgotten. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, letting us gaze at the practices and stories of believers from the past who had the same thirst for God that we do today. As we see their deep faith through his vibrant narratives, we may discover that old ways can bring new life to our own spirituality.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Disciple Making Church (Revised)
$22.00Every Christian, church leader and layperson alike, has been called by Christ to make disciples. But often there is so much focus in our churches on the first part of Christ’s command–evangelism–that the second part–teaching new believers to obey all that Christ commanded–is forgotten. New believers find themselves on their own, trying to figure out what their new life is supposed to look like.
In this well-loved book, Bill Hull explains why disciple-making must be the focus of every believer’s life and shows how each of us can do it. With practical examples drawn from vast ministry experience, Hull helps the church deepen and enrich the lives of believers as they learn to truly follow Christ.

10. A Filed Manual For Defeating The Baal ConspiracyAdditional Info
Compromised worship has serious roots-and serious consequences. The Israelites can vouch for that. Through an effort to have the best of both worlds, they spent centuries attempting to worship both Yahweh and the fertility god, Baal. With this misguided concept of the true God and true worship, the Israelites’ lives became immersed in a conspiracy to maintain a love of God and a love of everyday gods.
In The Baal Conspiracy, author Al Truesdale exposes the truth behind what this Baal conspiracy meant for the Israelites: that God, in fact, cannot be denied or shared in any form of worship. With solid biblical scholarship, Truesdale employs historical fiction to explain and explore how Christians can confront and defeat the Baal conspiracy in the Church and in daily living.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Lord Give Me Patience
$15.99We are an impatient people who want everything done in a hurry. But God refuses to be rushed.
In the words of author James W. Moore:
We love instant results. We want everything done in a hurry these days. We don’t want to wait for anything. We are so different from the earlier generations who ordered things from the Sears catalog and waited with great anticipation for weeks or even months for the items to arrive. We want to pay a little down now (even if we can’t really afford it) and get it today.
We are impatient people looking for immediate action and instant gratification, so much so that God’s patient ways sometimes confuse, perplex, and bother us. We are impatient, but God is deliberate, steady, and long-suffering. We look for the speedy way, the shortcut, the instant answer, the immediate solution. But God takes the long way ’round. God refuses to be rushed.
The way to become a spiritually mature Christian is to spend so much time with Christ that we begin to think and act like him, to spend so much time with him that we take on what the apostle Paul called “the mind of Christ.” It just takes time and effort and commitment. There are no easy, instant solutions. What we need to remember is that the things that matter most take time, effort, commitment, discipline, lots of practice, lots of hard work . . . and lots of patience.
Working chapter titles include, “Lord, Give Me Patience, and Give it to Me Right Now”; “Lord, Give Me Perseverance”; ” Lord, Give Me Faith”; “Lord, Give Me Forgiveness”; “Lord, Give Me Love”; “Lord, Give Me Childlikeness”; “Lord, Give Me Life”; “Lord, Give Me Grace”; and others.
This book includes twelve chapters and a discussion guide.
