Final Approach : Why Did America Turn Against God
$13.49Add to cartIt is the purpose of this book to use Scripture, not an opinion, to implore Christians to carefully consider their actions now more than ever in their life-
People are unprepared for the end of the age because they have been fed teaching that is far from scriptural truth, for example:
Did God’s prophets challenge a ruler of the nation-or did they stay out of politics?
Future sins are forgiven? -Scripture versus popular opinion
Born again-Jesus expected Nicodemus to understand the concept, because it is from the Old Testament. Do you?
Can you name apostles that used a sinner’s prayer in the New Testament?
Does saying you repent meet God’s requirements for repentance?
Was baptism a Jewish concept? Or is it New Testament?
Does grace have any relationship to forgiveness?
Is faith a thought of the mind, or an action?
Scriptures are presented on these subjects with a way to have insight into their intended meanings-the words people usually miss are made bold to insure they are recognized. Through studying the Scriptures you will be able to research these and other questions like these, and draw your own conclusions. -
Surviving The Desert
$17.49Add to cartLife is filled with many heartaches, pains, sickness, diseases, and civil unrest. There are adversities on every side and the more advanced science seems to get the greater the adversities seem to get. This was never the plan of God for this earth nor for you. All the adversity that we face today physical, mental, emotional, relational etc. has been brought about by sin. When sin was brought into this world by the rebellious act of Adam & Eve the whole earth has been corrupted from that time forth. Man has had to suffer sickness, pain, discomfort, heartaches, diseases and a world filled with civil unrest on every side.
The pressures that we face everyday can sometimes be overwhelming. Life seems uncrossable desert. No matter which way we look all we can see is the hot dry sand, there is no oasis in sight, it seems to be endless. Our hearts are distressed and we are brought into a deep depression over the situations we have to face and nothing seems to help no matter what we try. This is not the way that God plans for you to live! God planned to give you a life filled with joy and blessing! Jesus Christ said: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10b KJV)

Hope Beyond Diagnosis
$14.99Add to cartThe fear of cancer: how many millions of families have received that dreaded news or call? My wife received our call the morning of April 1, 2005. The doctor’s office advised the second biopsy taken on the lump removed from inside my throat was confirmed by the Mayo Clinic, Stage 3 melanoma. My wife asked if this was treatable and was told it most probably had metastasized and the prognosis was not good. The news, prognosis and surgery tell Part 1 of the journey.
Part 2 of the journey graphically details the intervention of a God whom we in this country constantly debate, defend, disclaim and simply want little or no part of.
Whatever your status in life, so many of us have been affected by this dreaded, killing disease that has no regard for age or gender. Just about everyone- those battling cancer, Christian people wondering if God still heals, people looking for a source of joy, hope and peace, people wondering if there is a God and are looking for something to grab hold of, and people who adamantly deny the existence of any God- should take the time to read this story.
Part 3 is my attempt to share four years of intimacy with a God who has shared His heart, beginning in November of 2004. There is no hidden agenda here, just an average man wanting to share a very unique journey of a profound healing and intimate conversations with the “God of Hope.”

I Declare War
$16.49Add to cartFrom I Declare War…
“Deliverance Ministry is a very complex ministry and one that it is very real. The world has
led even the Church into the mindset that deliverance is about theatrics and gimmicks. The
image of a monstrous, behorned, red-eyed animal figure attacking Christians is not
consistent with the clear teachings of the Bible. This book (based on the author’s research)
will serve as a reference that reveals the truth against various myths about deliverance that
are widespread in the Church. It will help those who are called to Deliverance Ministry
understand what can be done to stop the activities of the devil in the lives of God’s people.
This work is not hypothetical in its nature; it is actuality confirmed by the truth of the Word
of God. Scripture contains many references to deliverance.
“The Church must be open to discussing these passages and applying their truth. There is
no excuse for ignorance in the Body of Christ concerning spiritual matters. One of the gains
and benefits of this research is to free the mind of preconceived notions about the spirit
realm and encourage the Church to seek ‘freedom’ for the people of God. Legitimate
Deliverance Ministry has been harmed by many who have intentionally incited fear and
paranoia in people to render the Church powerless. Knowledge is power, however, and
spiritual truths should be taught and practiced from the inception of Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior in the Church. This gives the Body of Christ an accurate picture of the victory that
Jesus won on the cross.” -
Tactics Of Islam
$13.49Add to cartIn the past, the Ottoman Empire could not defeat the West by the sword, so now Fethullah Gulen’s community systematically employs very different tactics to bring the West under Islamic rule. For profoundly anti-democratic goals they use America’s democratic values-freedom of speech, political correctness, tolerance, and multiculturalism-as tools for disseminating Gulen’s ideology.
“You move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers…until the conditions are ripe… If you do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads. The time is not yet right. You must wait until such time as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to your side all the power of the constitutional institutions in Turkey… The work to be done is in confronting the world. Now, I have expressed my feelings and thoughts to you all-in confidence…trusting your loyalty and secrecy.”

To God Be The Glory
$15.99Add to cartWhen I celebrated my 85th birthday, I determined to put in writing the miracles of my life and ministry. As I counted the many miracles of God’s grace, not only for me, but for my family and the persons whom I was privileged to serve, the more I reflected upon the way the Holy Spirit has led and worked through all these years, and the more I felt compelled to put this in writing so that others might be blessed and challenged, as I have been during all of my life.
I knew God’s hand was upon my life when I was told the story of the miracle of my birth, and I determined to share it with our children, our grandchildren, and now our great-grandchildren, so they would know the good news of God’s marvelous grace, and of the way He has worked in my life and has supplied every need. I also wanted the people with whom I have ministered, as well as those with whom I have worked hand-in-hand, to know how they have encouraged me and have been such a blessing to me.

Best Investment Money Cant Buy
$14.99Add to cartThese messages were written from ideas that God gave me from a variety of settings. Some messages came from ideas I heard during church sermons, Christian broadcasting, crusades, reading books, events that have happened, my own personal experiences, the Bible, and a mission trip to Africa.
Key words or phrases would be said or read about during these different settings and then God would inspire me to write about what was heard or read. Some ideas came from personal experiences and then confirmed by other messages that were being preached. I write down almost every message that I hear preached at Church, or at the Crusades.
The final inspiration to write this book came from my circumstances at church. I had a lot of messages ready to preach, but was not having an opportunity to preach them. I was starting to get bitter and God inspired me to put these messages in a book and said the messages would reach a lot more people this way. I heard the call and did what God called me to do and now I am better not bitter.

Prayer Works
$15.99Add to cartYears of drug and alcohol abuse and bad relationships culminated in an arrest-exactly the situation God chose to use to reveal Himself.
Susan Wainscott traces how God worked in the life of her brother, Chris, as she prayed. Chris’s story portrays a man held captive by the bonds of sin. Susan witnessed the power of prayer as she partnered with the Holy Spirit to reach into the pain and mire to minister to Chris.
But the Holy Spirit’s work encompassed more than Chris. God revealed Himself to Susan as well. Through the process, Susan learned more about God and His ways and what it means to go into all the world to proclaim the Good News.
Prayer Works shows the journey of Susan and Chris as they battle a lifetime of pain and sin, struggling to live in Christ’s victory.

What Is The Gospel
$12.99Add to cartThis newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul’s systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.

Dancing With The Law
$11.99Add to cartIn a world where No one tells me what to do and I am my own authority, the Ten Commandments quickly find their way to the trash heap. For most of us, the words surrounding law rule, restriction, regulation, requirement, code, commandment, covenant, must, ought, shall, will are simply not our favorite words to hear. They are parental words, court words, conflict words. We use them only when we have to; otherwise, we willingly hold them at a distance.
But the Old Testament people of God had a different take on law. They took their copy of the law their God had given them, clutched it to their chests, and danced with it. They observed it daily in their relationships and required their young to memorize it. And when a copy of the law had grown ragged and old, they had a special ceremony to retire it. They buried it with all the dignity of a beloved grandparent s body.
In Dancing with the Law, author Dan Boone challenges us to, like the ancient people of God, look at law as a sacred gift that points the way to the life God intended. Through his earnest exploration of the Ten Commandments, he offers us a new perspective on law one that makes us dance with freedom, liberty, and the gift of life.

Grief : Contemporary Theory And The Practice Of Ministry
$26.00Add to cartThe experience of grief has been a source of intrigue and curiosity throughout history, and it continues to stimulate thought and theory in various fields of study. Unfortunately, these fields tend to function in isolation from each other. The result is a substantial disconnect between grief research, theory, and care?which has evolved greatly over the last two decades?and ministerial practice.
Using a metaphor of grief as a mosaic, Melissa Kelley presents contemporary grief theory and research, integrated with important theological, religious, and ministerial perspectives. Written in an accessible way for ministers, ministers-in-training, and all pastoral and spiritual caregivers, this book provides the most up-to-date theory and research in grief to help inform their care of others. Through exploration of critical topics including attachment to God, meaning making, and religious coping in grief, readers are brought right to the heart of a contemporary understanding of grief.
