Right Road : Life Choices For Clergy
$17.00Many clergy are in startlingly bad health. Not only do they regularly report depression, stress, and serious family and financial problems, they also exhibit higher than normal incidences of obesity, high cholesterol levels, inactivity, high blood pressure, and heart disease. How effective can professionals in ministry be with such debilities and vulnerabilities? Are clergy too busy helping others to take care of themselves?
Gwen Halaas’s caring and savvy book addresses clergy health directly: clergy have a spiritual as well as physical need to care for themselves, to live to the fullest, to ensure that they enjoy the life and gifts God gave them. Building her brief, practical book around the wellness wheel, Halaas emphasizes not just healthy eating but a whole array of life-affirming choices for clergy. Halaas provides the tools for clergy to choose growth and well-being over burnout and decline. With this practical and upbeat volume, clergy can begin to put their own lives in perspective and ‘keep [themselves] in training for a godly life’ (1 Timothy 4:7).

In His Steps (Revised)
$19.99Rev. Henry Maxwell, speaking slowly and determinedly, yet not fully realizing the implications of what lay ahead of him, repeated his astounding proposition, “I want volunteers from Fist Church who will pledge themselves, earnestly and honestly, for an entire year, not to do anything without first asking the question, “What would Jesus do?” Maxwell never dreamed that among those who responded would be the most influential members of his congregation, the wealthy heiress with her millions at stake, the newspaper editor with his job on the line, the president of the local college, the town beauty. But together they pledged themselves to a new step of faith that would change, not just a handful of people, but an entire town–for good.

Perfect Love : Understanding John Wesleys A Plain Account Of Christian Perf (Exp
$14.00A Perfect Love is the full text of Wesley’s book. What makes this version unique is that the author has edited Wesley’s text and updated his language for the contemporary reader. Christian perfection is the doctrine that distinguishes Methodism from other Christian denominations. People who read and study this book will come away with a greater appreciation for this important doctrine. It will change their lives. It may even change their church.
A Perfect Love includes in-text definitions and notes that explain names and terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader. It also includes hymns by Charles Wesley that describe the work of grace in human lives that leads to perfection in love. In addition, Dr. Diana Hynson provides a study guide that may be used for individual or small group studies, and Dr. Marjorie Suchocki offers a careful theological and spiritual reflection on Wesley’s work.
Briefly, the term Christian perfection, as Wesley used and understood it, may be translated as “Christian maturity.” It is the process of “growing up” in the love of God and neighbor. It is “holiness of heart and life.” It is “having the same mind in you that was in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). Christian perfection is the goal of salvation; it is the outcome of a life lived with and for God in Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Fathering The Nations
$15.99Fathering the Nations reveals the character and integrity of Christ that are needed within the heart of God’s delegated representatives-apostles, prophets, evangelists, preachers, and teachers-so the body of Christ will be effectively trained, equipped, and released by God for works of service through spiritual fathers’ “fatherhood.” This book instills hope in the hearts of all levels of believers by dealing with the frustrations and misconceptions concerning leadership in the church as we’ve known it. Leaders were never given authority over the people of God but were given authority for God’s people. Fathering the Nations deals directly with leadership through biblical foundations, awakening and reestablishing God’s divine order for daily living and godly government for the eternal existence of the true Church of Christ Jesus “on earth as it is in heaven.”This book lays a solid foundation of Christ and His Kingdom “living within the hearts of all believers.”

God Who Speaks Print On Demand Title
$25.99A Print on Demand Title
As Christians we believe that God speaks – that God has spoken to people down through the centuries and still speaks to us today. But just how does God speak to us? Has his speech changed over time? And how do we “hear” the voce of God? In this insightful book Ben Campbell Johnson explores the subject of divine speech, highlighting its importance to faith and leading Christian believers into the practice of listening for God’s voice in daily life.
Johnson first explores the biblical foundations of divine communication, tracing the ways that God has spoken to humankind from the calling of Abraham, to the appearance of Jesus, to the continuing work of the Spirit in the early church. He then gleans important lessons about God’s language from a wide range of Christian figures throughout history – Polycarp, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, Henri Nouwen, and others.
As this historical record shows, God communicates with us in a variety of ways. In exploring these different modes of “GodSpeech,” Johnson deftly guides readers into the practice of “intensive listening,” a way of posing issues to God and discerning his response. Numerous anecdotes illuminate Johnson’s discussion, and each chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion as well as suggestions for journaling. Johnson concludes the book by recounting a number of personal experiences that vividly illustrate the value of learning to listen to God’s voice.
At a time when many Christians hunger for a more personal, meaningful connection with God, this book shows readers how to discern divine language and forge a closer, richer relationship with “the God who speaks.”

Talks On The Song Of Songs
$17.99Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), one of Christianity’s greatest mystics and father of what was perhaps the most influential new monastic order of the Middle Ages-the Cistercians-devoted eighteen years of his life to his literary master piece, Sermons on the Song of Songs.
Although the Song of Songs, a brief book in the Old Testament, contains no explicit mention of God, the passionate love poetry became for Bernard a springboard into a major exposition of Scripture and an illuminated allegory of the spiritual life. Simply said, this gentle saint found God incarnate in every word.
This volume containing excerpts from each of Bernard’s 86 sermons, joins the Paraclete Christian Classics Series, a highly-acclaimed series devoted to making the great writers of the faith accessible to today’s readers. Offering a fascinating glimpse of Christian theology, these writings encourage us to open ourselves to a new experience of love-the transforming and all-fulfilling embrace of God.

Believer Warrior
$19.99When a believer does not grow spiritually, he becomes a liability to the body of Christ. Just as a newborn baby starts at the infant stage, but with time grows to be a fully mature adult, a newly born-again believer goes through certain growth phases before he becomes a spiritually mature adult. Spiritual growth phases are clearly evident and unmistakable as seen throughout the New Testament epistles. One of the dominant characteristics of a carnal believer is unbrokenness. God allows the chastening process as if to chip away the outer man by periodic pain and affliction in the believer’s life. As the believer grows, he can no longer feel peace while having inward hatred toward others. Spiritual growth is not human perfection, but it is having a willing and obedient heart and mind to walk in the ways of God in spite of the common struggles of life.

Servant First
$17.49Entering the new millennium, men and women across the globe are crying out for a new type of leadership. The old command and control model is dead, and the search for a new approach has begun. In Servant First! Leadership for the New Millennium, John Sullivan develops a practical leadership model based on a careful study of the teaching and practice of Jesus of Nazareth. This upside-down leadership style puts the needs of followers above those of the leader; promotes teamwork, individual dignity, and worth; and results in a synergy of purpose unachievable with the old leadership models. Its application in today’s organizations creates an environment in which people freely choose to create, innovate, and strive for excellence. The book begins with a review of traditional leadership theories and contrasts them with servant leadership. Sullivan shows how modern leadership approaches are molded by the servant-first style of Jesus. The reader is left with a model for leading 21st-century organizations that will unleash the creativity of people working together to achieve common objectives.

$15.99Wellington Boone, author of the popular, well-reviewed Christian marriage manual Your Wife Is Not Your Momma, delivers the unvarnished truth about what it takes for Christian believers to become Christ-like.
While becoming a believer in Jesus and joining the Christian faith are a gift of God a person need only accept, following Jesus requires much more. To walk in the footsteps of Jesus means making sacrifices like those he made if one is to imitate the example of Christ every day.
In The Low Road to New Heights, Wellington Boone elucidates the often difficult path to becoming a true disciple of Christ. Through examples drawn from real life and passages from the Bible, Bishop Boone gets to the heart of the matter: by living a humble life, Christians can conform to the character of Jesus. In an engaging style, Boone offers a serious spiritual regimen a kind of high-energy Christian aerobics routine that will last a lifetime. For those who want to move from being Christians in name only to being spiritually committed followers of Christ, Boone provides the no-nonsense, down-to-earth advice and inspiration they need to achieve their goal.

Come To Me
$13.49Weariness can wear away at our souls, our dreams, our hopes, our determination, and our joy. Weariness is a thief that steals life. It is a descending staircase that leads us into the deep pit of despair and threatens to leave us there with no way out. But the good news is that the way of Christ is ascending. It is the stairway that leads us out of human despair and into the joy of knowing and serving God. Come to Me: An Invitation for the Weary Soul comes to us from the heart of someone who has seen and experienced the dark shadows of true weariness of the soul and mind. In these pages, the author shares with us God.s solution to human weariness and explains why this invitation from Jesus Christ for us to “come” to Him is an invitation worth considering. Reviewed by: Marie DisBrow for Wordsmith Shoppe “Come to Me, written in an easy-to-read, conversational style, is a devotional aimed at those who are overcome by weariness. In this hectic and stressful world, there is surely a large audience for this book. The author uses experiences in his own life, and those of others, to show how weariness can overcome us. A prayer and Scripture reading conclude each of the fourteen chapters.” “The theme of the book is Jesus’ invitation to the weary in Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” I especially appreciated the author’s explanation of a yoke and how taking Jesus’ yoke upon us is not burdensome because it is “custom made” for each individual.” “Beaird encourages setting priorities: God first, then family and other relationships, and even ourselves. He reminds us that Jesus took time to be alone for prayer and refreshing.” “As a caregiver, I’ve often found myself weary and depressed. Reading Come to Me lifted my spirits and pointed to Jesus as the only true solution to the problem of weariness. This little book was very helpful to me, and I’ll read it again and again.” “Mark Beaird is a pastor, columnist, freelance writer, and the author of Let Me Encourage You Today: Daily Devotions and The Pastor’s Collection Sermon Series. Mark and his wife and two daughters reside in Huntsville, Alabama, where he serves as the associate pastor at Life Church International.” (C) Marie DisBrow for Wordsmith Shoppe Are you discouraged, weary, want to give up on the

Incredible Patience Of God
$15.99Many believers become discouraged with the long process of growth in their walk with Christ. In fact, Lane Adams believes it is “the rare spiritual prodigy” who moves rapidly to spiritual maturity. In this refreshing and helpful book, he offers encouragement, candid humor, and practical insight for those who are struggling in their Christian lives. In many ways, some Christians today are indistinguishable from the culture around them.They deny moral absolutes of right and wrong and affirm situational ethics. Their God is one-sided-all blessing and no judgment. In this book, Lane Adams urges Christians to seek a balance between asking for forgiveness and being accountable. The Incredible Patience of God will help Christians rethink their beliefs about sin and repentance, and will assure believers who are sincerely seeking a closer relationship with God.

Break Through Prayer
$18.99Prayer is an essential part of the devoted Christian’s life, Cymbala (Fresh Faith) reminds readers, and the Bible sets forth numerous examples of faithful men and women who prayed constantly. In this inspirational guidebook for committed Christians, the author, the pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, writes that he has seen the power and comfort of prayer not only in the Bible but in his own life, as well as in the lives of his church members, many of whom were personally affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Cymbala assures that God wants to hear and answer people’s prayers, and thus people should pray with “certainty” and with “confidence.” He gives guidelines for making effective prayers, and suggests that only supplicants who abide by “God’s spiritual laws” can expect to have their prayers answered. “An unforgiving spirit, bitterness, secret, sexual sins,” he writes, “can stymie our praying.” (This is the reason, he says, that he once refused to pray for a man in his Tabernacle-because he lived “in fornication” with his girlfriend.) Cymbala focuses largely on how to use prayer to become filled with joy and to cast away worries or fears, and he spends much of the book explaining how a life of faithful prayer can result in deep, lasting inner peace. Spiced with lively anecdotes-the heroin addict who found God; the disaffected young man who became a soapbox preacher-and punctuated with pullout quotations, Cymbala’s impassioned message should bring encouragement to the Christian faithful.

Little Pot Of Oil
$11.00Running on Empty? The Holy Spirit’s empowerment comes when we step into the forward motion of God’s love flowing through us-not backwards into our comfortable shell!
A time comes when we just don’t have anything left over to give. We run out of faith, energy, strength, patience, options, peace, joy, ideas, and even love. So when God’s call comes knocking and our resources seem thin, we tend to hole up and hide from the needs of others. But that’s exactly when God’s greatest blessing is within a single step, according to Jill Briscoe. He’s asking us to obey, senseless as it may seem.
God has given us what we need to fill up when we run low. It’s the incredible gift of Himself. In this engaging book, Jill Briscoe guides you to a source of ample sustenance. Even as you empty yourself, the Holy Spirit will fill you. And in giving yourself away, you will find life.
