Into The Region Of Awe
$35.99Add to cartIVP Print On Demand Title
C. S. Lewis is generally regarded as a commonsense Christian whose theology is understandable and practical. And yet, from his memoir Surprised by Joy to his beloved Chronicles of Narnia, from his nonfiction essays to his letters, C. S. Lewis’s works display a distinct sense of the mystical. In this book, David C. Downing explores the breadth of Lewis’s writing, introducing us to the context of Christian mysticism in Lewis’s day and the writers who most influenced him.
Lewis’s critique of mysticism is instructive to us in this day of eclectic religious thought. Exploring Lewis’s sense of the mystical can help us safeguard ourselves from false mysticism, even as it opens the way to a full experience of God’s presence-the “region of awe.”

Climbing Higher : A Life In Poetry
$16.49Add to cartReal life poetry goes beyond niceties. The spoken word is “supposed” to take on defining times. The poetry landscape gives meaning where meaning has been lost, emotion to callousness, encouragement to discouragement, life to death and – even, at times, death to what is only an illusion of life. We hurt, laugh and cry, mess up but get back up again. In today’s “reality” we must be real. We are victorious ONLY as we press through.

Ministers Life Of Obedience
$16.49Add to cart“I am writing to give my recommendation of the book The Minister’s Life of Obedience by Rev. Phil Richards. I have been in the ministry for over 20 years and was blessed by the content of this book. Anyone who reads this book-from a novice to a seasoned minister-will find it beneficial. The book provides life lessons and principles for any stage of a minister’s calling.” -PASTOR JOHN NUZZO Victory Christian Fellowship Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania A call to the ministry is always a call to preparation first. In this book, Dr. Richards explores the side of the ministry that is seldom examined: total obedience to the call of God from the earth to the throne. Dr. Richards explains, “Obedience to the Lord must be a daily affair, beginning with obedience to the call and completed obedience to the will of the Lord on the earth.” To walk in the call of God as a minister is to walk in obedience to your destiny.Whether you are called to the full-time ministry or you are a layman, an understanding of obedience is essential if we are to please the Lord. The Minister’s Life of Obedience will both challenge and inspire you with a greater determination to prepare your heart to obey the Lord in every area of your life.

Meditations From Iraq
$20.95Add to cartIn January 2003, Lance Kittleson’s army reserve unit was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq. For the next 14 months, his ministry was transformed – instead of pastoring an Iowa congregation, he now served under harsh and sometimes dangerous conditions as a chaplain for a support unit on the edge of war. Yet even in this chaotic and challenging environment, his trained pastor’s eye finds the presence of God in moments both mundane and exhilarating.
In this collection of e-mails sent to family and friends during his time in the Middle East, Kittleson shares insightful, poignant, and humorous meditations on faith and life. You’ll get a firsthand glimpse of military life, as well as the remarkable ways of the spirit (both divine and human) at work. When the camp’s altar suddenly disappears, you’ll read about how Kittleson comes to understand that the crude replacement altar hastily assembled from discarded shipping crates is a better symbol of Jesus than any fancy altar in an ornate sanctuary. You’ll also see how the sight of a superior officer offering a cup of coffee draws quizzical responses from servicemen accustomed to a rank-conscious army.

Finding God : The Real Thing
$13.49Add to cartWhile hiking high in the mountains, trying to find the elusive and beautiful white mountain goat that I knew was there, low clouds appeared suddenly, totally obscuring my vision. Airplane pilots call it zero zero visibility. Not only is it impossible to find the quarry, but if you proceed in such conditions, you are also in danger of making a wrong choice of direction, leading to one of those precipitous drops so common in these mountains, jeopardizing all your future. The current hazy religious atmosphere is similar. A serious searcher for satisfaction, truth, and the right way is surrounded by false claims, foggy ideas, and contradictory instructions. He cannot see the right way because of the fog, and if he chooses wrong, it can lead in the end to disaster forever. But God has cleared away the clouds in His inspired Book. He is not the author of confusion. Come, look, and allow Him to direct your way. The reward is the abundant life that lasts for eternity. He is the One who loves you the most, knows you the best, and never makes a mistake. Other books by Paul Weimer include With You Always, which is a collection of short accounts of experiences through many years of church planting and flying in Alaska, and The Shepherd and His Sheep, a devotional on John 10.

“Life is an information superhighway, but I can’t seem to find the on-ramp”
“The rain may continue to fall, but God still builds boats”
“If an elephant bags a hunter, does he tie him to his trunk?”
“It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and cats are waiting tables”
Each humorous essay is just two or three pages long and concludes with an easy-to-swallow lesson on life topics, such as family living, loving others, servant-hood, and living through trials. But you’ll hardly feel the lessons for the laughter. Take a much-needed break, put your feet up, relax, and prepare to laugh. Your soul will be hilariously refreshed. -
Table In The Presence
$19.99Add to cartOn April 10th, 2003, the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, faced with the task of seizing the presidential palace in downtown Baghdad, ran headlong into what Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North called, “the worst day of fighting for U.S. Marines.” Hiding in buildings and mosques, wearing civilian clothes, and spread out for over a mile, Saddam Hussein’s militants rained down bullets and rocket propelled grenades on the 1st Battalion. But when the smoke of the eight-hour battle cleared, only one Marine had lost his life. Some said the 1st Battalion was incredibly lucky. But in the hearts and minds of the Marines who were there, there was no question. God had brought them miraculously through that battle.
As the 1st Battalion’s chaplain, Lieutenant Carey Cash had the unique privilege of seeing firsthand, from the beginning of the war to the end, how God miraculously delivered, and even transformed, the lives of the men of the 1st Battalion.

Gods Economy Israel And The Nations
$17.99Add to cartGenesis 26 describes the dynamic of God’s economy. It says: “There was famine in the land and the Lord appeared to Isaac and said, ‘Dwell in this land and I will be with you and will bless you and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.'” God’s economy operates against all odds, which isn’t an option for those living in lands of persecution and distress-and it is emerging as a chief strategy for operating a business or ministry in this post- 9/11 environment. God’s economy is based on God’s Kingdom rule and embraces not only the realities of God’s spiritual riches, but also the community (social) and economic riches outlined throughout the Word of God. It is the reemergence of the ancient biblical principles of entrepreneurship, business, and Kingdom wealth.
