Power And Passion
$18.99Add to cartSamuel Wells vividly paints the stories surrounding Jesus’ cross and resurrection. We see the weakness of Pontius Pilate and Barabbas, and the compromised character of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. We discover the subtle power of Pilate’s wife. And in Peter and Mary Magdalene we find the true power of resurrection, bringing forgiveness and ending the stranglehold of death, thus transforming all human passion. Through close readings of the gospel texts, Wells demonstrates the significance of these characters for faith and life today.
In this book, structured with one chapter for each week of Lent, Wells guides us from the deathly power that put Jesus on the cross to the new power brought by Jesus’ resurrection. The book offers opportunities at the end of each chapter for prayer and discussion. The Archbishop of Canterbury has selected Power and Passion as his Lent book for 2007.

1 Conversation At A Time
$14.99Add to cartJesus was a conversationalist, and that’s how He taught. Through intimate exchanges with His disciples, He opened their eyes to the marvels of the Kingdom. And at the proper time, He commissioned them to go and make disciples of all nations, teaching each one all they had learned.
Christ calls believers to do the same today. He asks them to make disciples as He did-one conversation, one relationship at a time. But sometimes we spend more time keeping track of how many people we’ve told about Christ than we do getting to know them.
Making disciples is more than witnessing to nonbelievers and tallying numbers. Making disciples is really about building authentic relationships with those closest to us and helping them follow Jesus through heart-to-heart talks and committed friendships.
This book challenges you to reexamine your idea of evangelism and discipleship and reconsider what you say in hour daily conversations. Author D. Michael Henderson will show you how to turn your everyday interactions into open doors through which you can tell others about God and His love for them.

9. The Bent – Down Life Of FellowshipAdditional Info
Mud pies. Sandy scribbles. Dirty feet.These images tell a story of how Jesus reached down to love us in the muck and mire of our lives and in doing so revealed the true nature of God.
‘When Love Bends Down’ breaks away from overspiritualized Christianity and reaffirms the “nitty-gritty loving one another” lifestyle that Jesus originally called us to – a Christianity that first finds its expression in our love toward others. With precision and craftsmanship, Michael Lodahl takes the threads of Christ’s love found in the writings of John and weaves them together into a beautiful picture of a love that poked below the surface of false piety, that slavishly washes the dirt and dust off road-worn feet, and that gives up everything – even life itself – for others.
This profound portrait of incarnational Christianity shows you a God who willingly opens His hands, stoops down, and reaches people where they are. It will challenge you to bend down and do the same.

Way That Leads There
$23.99Add to cartSaint Augustine formulated the classic Christian understanding of desire, that “our hearts are restless until they rest in God.” Gilbert Meilaender maintains that this frustrated desire lies at the heart of our existence. In The Way That Leads There he takes Augustine as a “conversation partner” for exploring subjects that human beings have wrestled with for centuries – desire, duty, politics, sex, and grief. Meilaender’s carefully reasoned, insightful work rescues Augustine from many of our misperceptions and interacts meaningfully with both C. S. Lewis and Catholic moral theology, generating insights on difficult topics. The picture of life that emerges in these pages is one of incompleteness, of our inability to perfect and unify our moral lives. Yet this inability is not a cause for despair; it is rather a call to look, with Augustine, to God as the source and object of our greatest desire.

Who Told You That You Were Naked
$15.99Add to cartThe gnawing question, Who Told You That You Were Naked? fell a bit more heavily than the forbidden fruit from that tree of knowledge of good and evil. As Victor Schlatter follows the fallout from that fatal bite, we find two streams of destiny flowing all the way into the 21 st century. The first was the Hebraic bedrock on which the Judeo-Christian standards were once founded; the challenger is the worldview of the ancient Greeks, which has formatted the mindset of the Western world-the very mindset that has become so familiar to the self-centered culture that swirls around us today. No less probing than it was in the Garden that dripped with dew and daisies, Who is it that has been whispering that all may not be well as we stand stripped of our humanistic self-confidence in a society that has long since forgotten how to blush?

Learning From Jesus
$14.99Add to cartBecome a Student of the Master
To Christians, Jesus is many things: the Son of God, the pivotal figure in whom we put our trust and who speaks on our behalf, a companion in the life of faith. But Jesus is also an incredible example of how to lead a faithful life. Jesus, as a human, walked on earth and confronted the same struggles that we face. Our primary mission as his followers is to learn from him — to become his apprentices. In this book we seek to further our apprenticeship by studying everything from Jesus’s interactions with those around him to the revolutionary wisdom recorded in the Gospels. Learning from Jesus is conveniently organized for individual or group study, and each section of this guide leads you further down the path to true discipleship.
