Evangelism Without Additives
$18.00What if evangelism meant just being yourself?
If the gospel really is good news, why do most Christians avoid evangelism? Why is witnessing often a negative experience, for both the sender and receiver? Wouldn’t it be great if you could communicate the good news without having to become a spiritual salesperson?
What if
*you didn’t have to make a speech in order to witness?
*you could use everyday experiences to nudge others closer to Jesus?
*the things you’re already doing counted as evangelism?Evangelism can be as normal as asking great questions and paying attention to the people Jesus misses most. It involves doing things you already do, but with a little more intentionality. Just by being yourself and becoming unusually interested in others, you can discover that people will ask you about Jesus.
This isn’t another program or pitch. It’s a handbook on how to make real connections with the people formerly known as lost.
Think of it as evangelism for the rest of us.

Evangelism In The Small Membership Church
$17.99Speidel explores how evangelism not only concerns introducing people to Jesus, but also helping them grow in Christ. Making disciples is a call from God for all churches whether that church is in a declining rural community, in a teeming inner city, or a sprawling suburb. In fact, small-membership congregations are often more effective in evangelism than their sister megachurches.
This book helps pastors focus on visualizing goals; worship; creating a loving environment; passion and commitment; prayer; witness; time management; leadership recruitment; hospitality; assimilation of new members; and managing change and conflict.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Witness
$17.95In this book, Ron Lavin explores in great depth exactly what witnessing is as well as what it is not. Whether the witness comes from an unnamed high school math teacher or a person one is hoping to marry, a pastor or a priest, it is always the same thing–it is simply the planting of a seed. The author reminds us that we are not necessarily responsible for the way people react to our witnessing or for the end result. That part is God’s work. We, like the apostles, are only called to speak about what we have seen and heard. We are called to Witness.
This book is designed to be used in many different settings, from individual reading to Sunday School classes to church membership training. Based largely on the book of Acts, Witness leads members of a missional church through:
The priority of witnessing,
The difficulty of witnessing, and
The results of witnessing.From establishing the need for the missional church, we are led through learning about prayer, repentance, hospitality, koinonia, hope and encouragement, and ultimately to exactly what it means to Witness both inside and outside the confines of the missional church today.

Reconnecting Gods Story To Ministry
$32.99We often think stories are for children. But using the Bible as evidence, we see that God communicated His truth to men and women of all cultures, time, and places by way of many small stories forming one large story. While possessing a rich heritage of storytelling, too many evangelicals have forfeited this vital skill. Tom Steffen’s aim is to help readers recapture the most natural, universal, and effective means of evangelism-discipleship that exists-storytelling.
This book is not just theory-it provides practical help by identifying the roles and tasks that are necessary to become an effective storyteller in another culture. Steffen offers creative tools and introduces practical ways to increase many of the storytelling skills for evangelism-discipleship. He moves us beyond linear gospel outlines, Western logic and organization, and individual responses to traditional evangelism rituals, to a mode of communication that respects the audience, making it easy for them to grasp what they have heard and to pass it on to others with minimal loss of content. By reconnecting storytelling to ministry, readers will be more comfortable in sharing the gospel, both at home and abroad.

Transforming Evangelism : The Wesleyan Way Of Sharing Faith
$14.00Traditional views of evangelism are often intimidating and push the limits of personal comfort, leaving the job of reaching out to new and searching Christians for the professionals – the clergy of the church.

Little Primer On Humble Apologetics
$17.99Always be prepared to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence. (1 Peter 3:15-16) We’ve all felt the tension. An opportunity to speak for Christ comes up, and either we jump in with both barrels blasting or we cower in the corner and say nothing. Is there a better way? Can we learn to speak boldly, yet humbly, about our faith in Christ? Veteran apologist Jim Sire offers salient counsel derived from over fifty years of experience in a vast array of settings. Through a variety of snapshots, both successful and unsuccessful, he helps us understand the nature, value and limits of apologetics, and suggests how to tailor our comments to respect our audience whether large or small, formal or informal. He then outlines five key arguments for the Christian faith and offers responses to five common objections. Finally, for those especially drawn to apologetics, he offers counsel on how to discern a call to apologetic ministry.

Caleb Quest : What You Can Learn From The Boldest Dreamer In The Bible
$14.99Most of us began our adult lives with ambitious dreams and the energy and determination to make them come true. But somewhere along the way our focus changed-life “happened,” and we allowed our dreams to fizzle or even die. Is that the way it has to be? Do dreams come true for “ordinary” people? And if so, what does it take to make them happen? Author Mark Atteberry believes God has answered these questions in the life of Caleb, the boldest dreamer and achiever in all of Scripture.
In The Caleb Quest, Atteberry allows us to see that dreams don’t come true by accident. On the contrary, fulfilled dreams are the result of clear thinking, strong faith, patience, and hard work. Geared to the everyday Christian, this biblical plan helps readers to test their dreams, identify “dream assassins,” get God involved, accept His perfect timing, take action in pursuit of their dreams, and use their dreams to bless others. This inspirational book offers a realistic hope to anyone seeking to make a lifelong dream come true.

Exiles : Living Missionally In A Post Christian Culture (Reprinted)
$24.00Exiles: Living Missionally in a Post-Christian Culture presents a biblical, Christian worldview for the emergent church-people who are not at home in the traditional church or in the secular world. As exiles of both, they must create their own worldview that integrates their Christian beliefs with the contemporary world. Exiles seeks to integrate all aspects of life and decision-making and to develop the characteristics of a Christian life lived intentionally within emerging (postmodern) culture. It presents a plea for a dynamic, life-affirming, robust Christian faith that can be lived successfully in the post-Christian world of twenty-first century Western society. This book will present a Christian lifestyle that can be lived in non-religious categories and be attractive to not-yet Christians.
Such a worldview takes ecology and politics seriously. It offers a positive response to the workplace, the arts, feminism, mystery and worship. Exiles seeks to develop a framework that will allow Christians to live boldly and courageously in a world that no longer values the culture of the church, but does greatly value many of the things the Bible speaks positively about. This book suggests that there us more to being a Christian than meets the eye. It explores the secret, unseen nooks and crannies in the life of a Christian and suggests that faith is about more than church attendance and belief in God. Written in a conversational, easy-to-read style, Exiles is aimed at church leaders, pastors and laypersons and seeks to address complex issues in a simple manner. It includes helpful photographs and diagrams.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

We Never Walk Alone
$13.49My book has two objectives, the second being most important. First, this book is for the Christian to draw strength from in knowing that no one is ever alone on this earth. God is with each person all of their life and wants to help us. He is only waiting for your prayer of faith in Him and you laying your troubles at His feet for Him to help you. Second, this book is an evangelical tool in the hands of a Christian, because by giving it to some lost soul, they may see that they are not alone, that God loves them, that God wants them to spend eternity with Him in heaven, and all that God wants you to do is accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as your Savior. All the instruction you need is contained in the pages of this book along with twelve peoples’ testimonies of God’s hand in their lives and their profession of faith in Jesus as their Savior. Read the book. It will change someone’s life.

Story Of Evangelism
$38.99In this new history of evangelism, Tuttle examines the broad sweep of the church’s witness to the gospel from a truly global and inclusive perspective. The familiar figures are all here: Paul, Patrick, Boniface, Columba, Luther, Wesley, Carey, and the like. Yet Tuttle knows that the story of the church’s ministry of evangelism has been a worldwide endeavor dependent on women as well as men, and lesser-known figures as well as famous ones. He organizes his material into particular historical periods or moments, each one by way of three perspectives – the cultural forces establishing the need for evangelism; the evangelist in particular; the impact the evangelist had within that particular period.

Needs Based Evangelism
$18.99By meeting needs of people through intentional ministries, churches will grow; but more importantly they will fulfill their biblical mandate to care for those who are hurting and suffering.
Being a Good Samaritan church begins with the leadership. It requires an absolute commitment to address the needs of people in order to invite them to become disciples of Jesus Christ. But in order to compete with and appeal to unchurched people in today’s secular and consumer-driven society, the church needs to be entrepreneurial in its method of evangelist outreach. In this book, Rev. Robert Pierson, shows how churches can better organize ministry in order to be effective witnesses. By meeting felt needs of people through intentional ministries, the church will grow to be sure; but more importantly it will fulfill its biblical mandate to care for those who are hurting and suffering.

Why Good Arguments Often Fail
$27.99You gave it your best shot. You made the best case you knew how, and your friend still wasn’t persuaded to follow Christ. Why is it that solid, rational arguments for the Christian faith often fail?
For over 50 years James W. Sire has asked himself that question. Sometimes, of course, the arguments themselves just aren’t that good. Sometimes the problem has to do with us and not the arguments. And sometimes the problem lies with the hearers.
With wisdom borne of both formal and informal experience, Sire grapples with these issues and offers practical insight into making a more persuasive case for Christ.

Loving The Church Blessing The Nations
$30.99IVP Print On Demand Title
Rediscovering the role God designed for the church in mission is a critical issue facing the missions movement today. That role is to glorify God by planting churches among every tongue, tribe, and nation. Planting churches amid unreached peoples is a complex process. It calls forth every ministry gift and the contribution of every believer.
Imagine a businessman, a construction worker, a schoolteacher, and an engineer all working together to support the development of a local church amongst an unreached people group in another part of the world. Most Christians will not leave home and go elsewhere to minister. If they are to participate in God’s global mission, they must be affirmed, developed and released right where they live, in the context of their local church. This book shows how churches can become centers of mission vision and implementation and so accomplish God’s design for the local church.

Selling Swimsuits In The Arctic (Student/Study Guide)
$15.99The pastor of one of today’s most dynamic churches illumines the basic principles of attracting the unchurched to the Christian message.
Using the story of Bob, a successful swimsuit salesman whose business takes a turn for the worse when he moves to Alaska, Adam Hamilton reminds us that all of life is about sales. Whether we are in a job interview, a candidates’ debate, or a classroom, we are selling something: our skills, our convictions, our selves. The same is true of presenting the gospel to the unchurched. In leading a friend to a saving relationship with Christ, in inviting them to join us at church, we are presenting them with something that we believe they need, that will make all the difference in their life. Yet if we don’t understand what we are presenting, who we are presenting it to, if we don’t believe in the message we are offering, or if we don’t believe that people need that message more than anything else, then we will not be faithful witnesses to it. In short, says Hamilton, if we don’t understand some of the most basic principles that all successful salespersons know, then we will not succeed in presenting the message of Christ to those who most need to hear it.
By telling the humorous and quirky story of Bob trying to sell swimsuits in the Arctic, Hamilton explains the fundamental concepts of sales that also apply in how we spread the gospel message. Drawing on his experience as the leader of one of the country’s fastest-growing churches, he offers pastors and other Christian leaders solid, simple guidance on how to share the faith, and grow one’s congregation.

Fireweed Evangelism : Christian Hospitality In A Multi Faith World
$24.95“Episcopal priest Elizabeth Geitz delves, through Scripture, right into the heart of welcoming the stranger. Her handouts and forms are helpful. A must read.” –The Living Church
Fireweed, always the first flower to spring up and bloom in ruins and burned-over places, is Elizabeth Geitz’s metaphor for evangelism that comes from the heart. It is the motivation that makes some Christians eager to welcome the stranger and invite people into their churches, while others hang back. In this prequel to Entertaining Angels: Hospitality Programs for the Caring Church, Geitz explores this missing ingredient in Christian hospitality, reminding us that in a multi-faith world where Christians wish to honor the validity of other religious paths, we may hesitate to talk about the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. Her book helps both individuals and communities to understand what holds them back from evangelism and discover the path that is right for them.
This book unfolds in three sections. In the first we look at the factors that inhibit our evangelism, including the awareness that we live in a pluralistic world and do not wish to offend those with other faith commitments. Geitz offers both reflection and exercises to help us discover our own motivation for evangelism. Part 2 addresses the question of context. Where does evangelism take place, and for whose benefit? To what sort of communities do we invite those to whom we reach out? Section 3 focuses on the uniqueness of Christian hospitality and describes the nuts and bolts of newcomer ministry and the programs needed to sustain Christian hospitality in a pluralistic society. It includes workshop and group process material.

Stand And Deliver
$17.99Stand and Deliver is a practical manual for deliverance ministry. It is designed to present usable instruction for the conduct of deliverance ministry. As the Introduction states, “This book is a blueprint-a road map for deliverance. It deals with the ‘nuts and bolts’ of deliverance ministry.” As such, it is a “manual of war” for those engaged in this vital, front-line, in-the-trenches ministry to the body of Christ. As the authors say, “The victory has been won. The foundation for deliverance has been accomplished in Christ. This book is intended to help point the way toward the realization of the complete fruit of deliverance in the life of every believer. Due to the wrathful nature of our adversary, Satan, we will not accomplish this without opposition. But through the forceful application of these principles, every deliverance minister may assist believers to lay hold of the kingdom of God. Thus, may we all experience God’s righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

$15.99What is the gift of Apostle? Are you looking for a biblical and modern day understanding? How does that gift operate in the Body of Christ? Apostle Hairston’s book, Apostolic Intervention (A Biblical and Contemporary Overview of the Apostolic Impact Upon European, Ancient and American Cities), reveals the work of an Apostle beginning in the Old Testament and journeying through the New Testament and into the 21st Century, and describes non-biblical pioneers who operated with Apostle-like characteristics. The life of an Apostle emerges with great impact in this look at the men and women sent to establish order and to develop ideas and strategies for assessing and sometimes restructuring mindsets regarding biblical doctrine. Apostle Hairston believes that as our knowledge expands, our understanding will draw us to embrace and operate in the five-fold ministry gifts, resulting in a global revival and assisting mankind to stand in the face of global war, economic change, and governmental collapse. With this tool, the Apostle is prepared to play a major role as cities face the coming moves of God.

Kingdom Come : How Jesus Wants To Change The World
$24.99Seek First the Kingdom. God is up to something! And His plans are far greater than we might imagine. Christianity is not merely about isolated individuals going to heaven. It’s about God transforming the entire world and making things right. Sickness will be healed, sins will be forgiven, injustice will be eradicated, and all creation will be redeemed. But this is not merely a distant future. It’s happening now through what Jesus came to establish–the kingdom of God. Allen Wakabayashi reawakens us to the world-changing reality of the kingdom of God. With clear, biblical insight, he unpacks what Jesus proclaimed about the good news of the kingdom and spells out the implications for us today. Focusing on the kingdom of God will revolutionize how we live out our faith, how we think about our world and how we explain the good news about Jesus. Ultimately, understanding ourselves as citizens of the kingdom will empower us to be God’s change agents in the world. God is at work to restore everything to be the way he intended to be, and we can be a part of what he is doing. Get a glimpse of the kingdom coming, and experience His will being done–on earth as it is in heaven.
