Attitudes Of A Transformed Heart (Student/Study Guide)
$14.95Add to cartChristians and non-Christians alike often embrace a low view of God, and consequently a casual view of sin and Scripture. This low view of God is reflected in their attitudes about God, their attitudes about Scripture, and their attitudes of the heart. This book is about being “transformed” by the renewing of your mind” and not being “conformed to this world” (Romans 12:2).
Your Heart is who you are on the inside. It is what you think, your motives, and your desires. Our hearts have been conformed to the world’s way of thinking. Paul wrote, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2). It takes grace from God and work on our part for our minds to be transformed to think God-honoring thoughts and to truly discern unbiblical philosophies.
If you have a teachable heart, this book will help you truly honor God by what you think. Study questions are at the end of each chapter. -
Wasting Time With God
$35.99Add to cartWhen it comes to developing a deep, trusting relationship with God, efficiency and productivity are not the answer. It’s far better to “waste” time with him, to just enjoy being with him. After all, that’s how any friendship grows. But making room for God in the midst of our fast-paced lives is not an easy task. Just as time with our best friends can get squeezed out by the rush of activities, so can time with God. Even “wasting time” with God means making a commitment and setting priorities–whether it’s something we enjoy or not. Beginning with the supposition that God desires friendship with us, Klaus Issler encourages us to consider seven character traits and to develop their companion disciplines: friendship, humility, faith, commitment, communication, apprenticeship and partnership. Here is a full-orbed model of Christian spirituality that will be of lasting value.

Breaking Free From Sins Grip
$14.99Add to cartIs there something keeping you from breaking through to the life in Christ you want? Sondra’s family lived in a pitiful wooden shack that basically consisted of a front porch and two small bedrooms. Tiny beams of sunlight filtered through the holes in the walls.

When Sondra discribed the beautiful home her father dreamed of building for his family, her classmate Frank Moore never really believed the family would ever move into that dream house. Then one day Sondra invited him to come see her new house. They drove across a dirt path through the field behind the shack. There in the middle of the field stood a big, red-brick Southern mansion with four white columns setting off a two-story front porch. A father’s dream had come true! Your Heavenly Father looks down through time and dreams big dreams for you. He dreams of the holy life you will have through an intimate, personal relationship with Him.

Sacred Thirst : Meeting God In The Desert Of Our Longings
$19.99Add to cartJesus once said, “Whoever drinks of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty.” So why are Christians still thirsty? We throw ourselves into church work, Bible studies, prayer, missions, fellowship. Yet still we search restlessly for something more. What are we missing?
Perhaps the answer is, more of Jesus. Church meetings and programs, ministry, Christian counseling, and home groups are all good, but they are not him. It doesn’t matter how devoted we are to these wonderful activities; they are not the same thing as communion with Jesus. Our souls crave him alone.
In Sacred Thirst, author and pastor Craig Barnes brings us face-to-face with our desperate longing for God. Like the woman at the well, we have tried to satisfy our parched souls with so many other things – even religious things. But when we get to the bottom of our desire, we find Jesus quietly waiting with his living water – intimate communion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
This book is filled with unique insights into human experience and the character of God. With his keen understanding of the needs of contemporary Christians, Barnes points to the only way our thirst will ever be satisfied. Drawing from his rich background in the Bible and his tender insights as a pastor, he leads us into a new understanding of ourselves and the uncontrollable but gracious God we seek.

Maximized Manhood : A Guide To Family Survival (Revised)

Self Esteem : Gift From God
$17.00Add to cartImproved self-esteem leads to a true evaluation and acceptance of others and ourselves. Ward challenges people to discover their uniqueness and to enjoy who they are. She encourages them to discover their God-designed temperament/type in order to arrive at healthy self-esteem and self-worth. This self-acceptance automatically raises the level of understanding and lowers tension in every arena and age of life, making it “fun” to celebrate differences rather than feel obligated to think and function according to another’s dictates.
Self-Esteem: Gift from God answers our questions regarding the differences in people by using quizzes and real-life examples sprinkled with humor. Readers will painlessly and proudly discover that their personal preferences, though perhaps very different, are normal and “ok.” Encouragement to join hands with God by using our special gifts to improve our spiritual confidences forms the foundation of Self-Esteem.
Ideal for Bible study and self-esteem groups, each chapter ends with a prayer for further contemplation and discussion.
