From Prosecutor To Prisoner To Preacher

First evangelizing in prison and then being led to a world wide ministry that includes 5 continents. There is victory in Jesus. Billy Gray has experienced most every venue of life. Raised in a Christian home, but given privileges exceeding the families’ resources. From dinning with the elite of Washington in private rooms in the Capital to a prison cell, known by a number rather than a name.

Marks Story : A Novel
$22.00Add to cartMark’s Story opens on the evening of the last day of Jesus as man. The young Mark hears Jesus’ prophecies of the events that are to come, and bears witness to some of the most pivotal events in human history, including Judas Iscariot’s betrayal, Peter’s denial of his Master, and Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection as the risen Lord.
In the years after, following in the footsteps of his friend and mentor Peter, Mark becomes an ardent follower of Jesus and a devoted disciple of Christianity, spreading the Word beyond Jerusalem and into the world. Mark urges Peter to recount to him the stories of Jesus’ life on Earth-His messages, His miracles, and His everlasting promises to His people-and compiles what becomes canonized as the Gospel of Mark.
Mark chronicles the growth of the early Christian church, the struggles of Jesus’ followers, and the persecution they endured from a hostile world. Mark’s Story is a thrilling account that vividly depicts the last day before Jesus’ crucifixion and the danger that early believers faced as they boldly proclaimed Jesus as Christ the Lord. Their bravery laid the foundation for the early church, and their fervent passion for the Word reverberates throughout the world today.

Word Of Life
$28.99Add to cartJohn’s gospel is one of the richest and most provocative theological writings in the New Testament. While its language is often simple, its thought is engaging and complex, opening readers to the world of God through the story of Jesus. Craig Koester here sketches the shape of John’s gospel and illustrates how debates about its meaning have profoundly shaped Christian life and thought. The Word of Life explores the questions that have been important for generations, including John’s understanding of God, the character of the world and its people, the elusive activity of the Spirit, and what it means to believe. Expressions like being “born again” and the idea that Jesus is “the way” can evoke both interest and uneasiness. Special sections are devoted to these and other disputed aspects of John’s theological language. Through these, readers can see how the gospel’s own context can shape a more vital and nuanced understanding of what such expressions mean. Koester interacts with the best of current research and makes creative proposals about ways in which to understand the many aspects of John’s theology. Clear and highly readable, this guide to the theology of John’s gospel will appeal to a wide range of readers.

Complete Fenelon
$26.99Add to cartThe most engaging collection of the French mystics’ writings now available
Twenty-first century Christians are now discovering the wisdom of this controversial theologian and spiritual thinker. Fenelon showed how it was possible to have devotion and faith in the original Age of Reason. In many respects, rationality still rules today in religion and culture, and as a result, Fenelon speaks to modern Christians wanting deeper faith and a meaningful inner life.
His writings have never been as accessible as they are now in these lively new translations. The Complete Fenelon includes more than one hundred of Fenelon’s letters of spiritual counsel, as well as meditations on eighty-five other topics. Also translated here into English for the first time are Fenelon’s personal reflections on twenty-one seasons and holidays of the Christian year. An introduction from bestselling translator Robert J. Edmonson and in-depth recommended reading and bibliography make this the first place to start in any study of Francois Fenelon.
Franois Fenelon was a seventeenth-century French archbishop who rose to a position of influence in the court of Louis XIV. Amid the splendor and decadence of Versailles, Fenelon became a wise mentor to many members of the king’s court. Later exiled for political reasons, he set out to improve the lot of peasants of his diocese. His letters of counsel and spiritual meditations have found a wide audience for more than three centuries.

$16.99Add to cartWhat does it mean to be gospeled? John Indermark suggests that an encounter with the living Christ demands a response.

The appendix includes session guides for group study.

Baptism : A Users Guide
$18.00Add to cartTo see baptism as merely a ceremony greatly limits the meanings of Christian baptism, says Martin Marty, in this practical and inspirational new look at baptism.

How did early Christians understand and practice baptism?
What difference does baptism make in our daily life?
How does baptism manifest itself in our relationships, our choices, our faith?With great insight and wisdom Marty brings us both the history of baptism and a useful guide to its application for everyday life. The book includes questions for reflection and discussion.

Francis Schaeffer And The Shaping Of Evangelical America
$30.99Add to cartFrancis Schaeffer (1912-1984) was probably the single greatest intellectual influence on young evangelicals of the 1960s and “70s. He was cultural critic, popular intellectual mentor, political activist, evangelist, Christian apologist, and the author of over twenty books and two important films. Along with his wife, Edith, he founded L’Abri, a loving community of intellectual and spiritual exploration where visitors ranged from European existentialists to American evangelicals and even some radicals. In America he lectured widely on college campuses, where he encouraged world-wary evangelicals to engage the culture around them. Along the way he attracted a great many admirers, a few critics, many admirers who became critics, and a few critics who learned to admire him. It is, in short, impossible to understand the intellectual world of evangelicalism today without understanding Francis Schaeffer. Barry Hankins has written a critical but appreciative biography that explains how Schaeffer was shaped by the contexts of his life – from young fundamentalist pastor in America, to greatly admired mentor, to lecturer and activist. Drawing extensively from primary sources, including personal interviews, Hankins paints a picture of a complex, sometimes flawed, but ultimately prophetic figure in American evangelicalism and beyond.

Zizek : A Very Critical Introduction
$25.99Add to cartSlovenian philosopher Slavojek is known for his brilliant tendency to weave together theology, psychoanalysis, and politics in a unique fashion to provide stunning commentary on contemporary culture. Assuming little prior knowledge of the controversial philosopher, Marcus Pound provides a general introduction – the first of its kind – to Slavojek’s work as it relates specifically to theology and religious studies. Pound begins by exploring Slavojek’s background in Lacan and German philosophy. That exploration is followed by a critical engagement of Slavojek’s concept of God, the mechanics of belief, metaphysics of faith, the role of religious ideology, and why a political act must necessarily assume the form of a religious act. Finally Pound considers the impact of this philosopher’s work on currently theological thought concerning gift and sacrifice, gender and sexuality, and the politics of inter-religious debate. This introduction, though brief, nevertheless provides a comprehen-sive account of Slavojek’s theological, political, and psychological lexicon. Pound’s work here renders the contours of the philosopher’s project in clear, accessible terms, perfect for any student of philosophy.

$40.99Add to cartIntroduction to the Prophets is a helpful guide to reading the prophetic books of the Christian canon, discussing the Major and Minor Prophets in their canonical order.

At Home In A Strange Land
$28.00Add to cartThe Old Testament is a problem for many Christians. Some find it puzzling, or even offensive; others seem to glibly misuse it for their own ends. There are few resources aimed at enabling ordinary Christians to understand the OT and use it in their lives as followers of Jesus.
In this book At Home in a Strange Land: Using the Old Testament in Christian Ethics, Andrew Sloane seeks to address this need. He outlines some of the problems that ordinary Christians face in reading the Old Testament as part of Christian Scripture and provides a framework for interpreting the Old Testament and using it in Christian ethics. He identifies some of the key biblical texts of both the Old Testament and the New Testament that both inform Christian ethics and challenge us to live as God’s people. Using the paradigm of learning to travel in unfamiliar places, Sloane seeks to equip the reader with tools for understanding many of the puzzling and difficult passages found in the Old Testament. In sum, the book aims to “rehabilitate” the Old Testament for ordinary, even skeptical, 21st century Christians.
While many of the issues have been covered elsewhere, there is very little that seeks to bring together questions of interpretation and “ethical application” in one book aimed at lay people. The book would also be valuable in a college course on Christian ethics.

Steps For Guidance
$11.99Add to cartIn recent years the subject of how to find God’s guidance has become controversial. Some say it comes by dreams, visions, and ‘words of knowledge’. Others say that God does not have a specific plan for the lives of His people. He allow us to please ourselves, as long as we take decisions in a wise and moral way. By contrast with these ideas, this book presents the time honoured view that the Christians must seek God’s will in all major decisions of life. The author proves that this view is correct from many Bible passages, and outlines six biblical steps for finding God’s will. Special attention is given to key areas of decision making. How does the Lord guide in courtship and marriage? What scriptural passages guide in decisions about possessions and leisure activities? Under what circumstances may Christians seek advancement in career and wealth? Does the Lord determine which church fellowship a believer should join? When is it wrong to leave a church, and when is it right? In these and other questions, the author shows that there are clear biblical directions to cover such issues. Here is a strong challenge to authentic Christian obedience, with an abundance of pastoral advice.

Understanding Shall Preserve You
$15.99Add to cartUnderstanding Shall Preserve You The True Steps To Greatness Many Christians nowadays do not really understand God from His Word. Moreover, it’s only what we know and understand that should be useful to us. This understanding is not gained easily. There must be a search for it through the Word of God. This is the truth that will help us to comprehend a great deal of God’s Kingdom principles and power. We must understand what the Lord wants us to do. Implanting Christ’s Word in our hearts and allowing it to be deeply rooted in our souls, is a step towards greatness in life. The Word has the power to renew our minds and establish us according to the Will of God. One of the cardinal principles of the Scripture is that the measure, with which we give, shall be returned to us. Therefore spending quality time to learn and study God’s Word, will eventually lead to a proportionate or corresponding reward in knowledge with understanding. King Solomon understood this when he wrote, “For the Lord giveth wisdom; out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”(Proverbs 2:6). These three elements of truth are the concrete steps to true prosperity that God gives. Perfect understanding of God’s principles and walking in His way is our key.

Kingdom Armor : Believers Identity
$15.49Add to cartKingdom Armor takes us back to the beginning and reminds us that God created us in His own image. The first attack against mankind was on identity. Since then the battle still wages on leaving people with some form of an identity crisis. As a community of believers, the answer as to “who we are” should be clear but in many instances is not. Kingdom Armor turns the mirror toward our souls to explore God’s original design, plan, purpose and function for our lives. It unpacks what it really means to be made in the image and likeness of God. It helps us to rediscover our God-given identity, redefine our God-given purpose, and refocus on our God-given function. It helps us to understand and embrace our Divine Identity which God originally intended. Rabbi Yisrael shares a powerful testimony about his own identity struggle. This testimony lays a foundation that God is more than able to release anyone from the spiritual bondage of false identity. Sharing new and profound insights about the identity of Adam and Eve, this book will connect the Lord’s armor and kingdom identity to a pure language of being born again. Readers will walk away knowing who they are and why things in this world need no longer define them.

$17.99Add to cartThe Rule of St. Benedict focuses four essential areas of everyday life. These areas are relevant for every person, regardless of creed or denomination: prayer, work, community and rest. How do we apply these in the midst of our busy lives?
In The Good Shepherd award-winning author Robert Benson takes a close look at the meaning of community, according to the traditions founded by Benedict. How is it possible to live a life of community in today’s fragmented world? Does it mean that you have to retreat to some far-off place or join a set-apart group of people? No, explains Benson, as he offers St. Benedict’s wisdom with his trademark humor and elegant prose.
The Good Shepherd offers practical help to modern folks engaged in defining, discovering, nurturing, and sustaining community in the world in which they live.

Erosion Of Inerrancy In Evangelicalism
$25.00Add to cartExamines recent postmodern efforts to redefine the traditional evangelical view of scriptural authority and counters with sound logic that resoundingly supports inerrancy. Due to recent popular challenges to evangelical doctrine, biblical inerrancy is a topic receiving an increasing amount of attention among theologians and other scholars. Here G. K. Beale vigorously and even-handedly examines the writings of one leading postmodernist, Peter Enns, whose writings challenge biblical authority. In resounding support of inerrancy, Beale presents his own set of formidable challenges to the postmodern suppositions of Enns and others, citing contradictions, dichotomies, oversights, and faulty reasoning. This book repeatedly demonstrates the implausibility of compromise or striking a balance in the matter of inerrancy-not merely as a debate between academics, but as an issue that affects the entire body of Christ. How can the Bible be historically inaccurate while still serving as the authoritative word on morality and salvation? Beale concludes that it cannot, and his work will aid all who support biblical inerrancy in defending their position against postmodern attacks.
