Lotus Of The Lake
$20.99This book tackles one of the most pressing issues facing the world today-child poverty and what to do about it. In particular, it explores the lives of underprivileged and lower class children in India, peering into inherent societal inequalities. It is the world the author has observed firsthand both through her humanitarian work, extensive travel and her experience as the first Public Engagement Officer at an international NGO (Peace-Child India). She worked with slum communities, children’s homes and migrant communities in Bangalore, India. Lotus of the Lake incorporates East-West perspectives on faith and poverty, points of view of the poverty stricken and their life experiences. So often, their thoughts, stories, dreams and desires are overlooked. These are the views the author highlights in her book–deep inner realities that only the poverty-stricken themselves can describe. Gill plans to build a safe, harmonious, and educational home for the poverty-stricken children in Southern India. She eventually hopes to catalyze the construction of such homes in every state within India, Africa and other developing countries such as, Haiti. The homes will act as safe havens for children-protecting them from abuse, poverty, malnutrition and neglect–offering them a world of education and hope.

Performing The Sacred
$27.00Performing the Sacred is the first book-length exploration of the intersection of theatre and theology, illuminating the importance of preserving live performance in a virtual world. This compelling dialogue unfolds between a theologian and a theatre artist who revisit theatre’s rich history and paint a picture of its promising future while building bridges between theatre and Christianity.
Theologically, theatre reflects Christianity’s central doctrines–incarnation, community, and presence–enhancing the human experience and shedding new light on theology. The authors show how theatre engages viewers on multiple levels, including political, social, religious, personal, intellectual, emotional, and kinesthetic. In theatre, the presence of live human beings speaks of the incarnate nature of God’s redemption in Christ and the imago Dei. The communal nature of theatre models the Trinity, while the immediacy and transcendence of theatre performance draw out the presence of God in nature and grace.
Performing the Sacred encourages Christians to celebrate, embrace, and experiment with dramatic stories found in Scripture. This Engaging Culture series title will be a key volume for teaching theatre in the academy and influencing drama practitioners, worship leaders, and culture makers.

Shattered Dreams : Wake Up America Before It Is Too Late
$19.36The intent of this book is twofold. First, it is to help people realize that no matter what you experienced as a child, you can overcome your circumstances and soar to unimaginable new heights with the help of God. This is critically important if you have children and have the desire to break the cycle of abuse and dysfunction. As a child Donna was abandoned by both parents and suffered rejection, verbal, physical and sexual abuse. She candidly shares her testimony so parents can experience, through the eyes of a child, how the unwise choices and actions they make can profoundly affect their children for the majority of their lives. The cycle repeats itself until someone chooses a better way.
Second, this book is a passionate plea to open your eyes to what is happening to our nation. In 2004, the Holy Spirit gave me prophetic insight about the impending demise of the United States. I am called to do the will of my Father, which is to warn as many people as possible to repent and turn back to Him before it is too late. It doesn’t matter if you receive and act on what you hear, but that I obeyed. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 1:7).
We have the power to change where our nation is headed if we turn back to God and eradicate the sin from our lives and our nation. Then we must unite and take action to stop the impending destruction of our nation before it is too late! As stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” Remember, God changed His mind about destroying Nineveh when they repented and turned back to Him. Therefore, there is always the hope that God will change His mind, for with God all things are possible.

Pastoral Care And Western Medicine
$19.98Western medicine is not only a science that has relieved much suffering in the world; it is also a philosophy that stands contrary to biblical Christianity. Medical science can offer physical help, but it cannot answer the most profound questions asked by the suffering and dying: Why am I sick? Why did I contract this disease? Why am I dying? Only the Bible offers adequate and satisfying answers to such questions.

Broken Walls : And Those Called To Repair Them
$22.48Broken Walls details the desperate need for a generation of adults to come to the spiritual rescue of America’s future generations. Just as the walls of Jerusalem were broken down in the days of Nehemiah, the spiritual walls of America lie in ruins at the feet of our children. And just as Nehemiah did, God is calling us to rebuild them for His name’s sake- for our children and their children. Broken Walls is a must read for parents, pastors, educators, and anyone who calls themselves a follower of King Jesus. The spiritual future of our nation is in the hands of those God called to be “repairers of the broken walls.” Come let us rebuild . . . (Neh 4:17) Your soul will be stirred, your heart rebuked, and your body spurred on in the fight for our nation’s children. Ryan Dalgliesh (Speaker and author- founder of Higher Rock Ministries) Broken Walls will change the way you look at the generations following you and provide the tools needed to make an eternal difference in the lives of those you encounter on a daily basis. Julie Mustard (High school coach and teacher) Kevin Kirkland finally says what so many of us who work with the young people of America know to be true- our children are spiritually in a desperate “state of emergency,” and WE must take responsibility for rebuilding all that the enemy has destroyed. Chris Ratley (17 year veteran of youth ministry) The resounding message of this book brings us back to the truth and the purpose Jesus had for us all when he said “Follow Me.” Stacy Brown (mother of three teenagers)

Rastafarians Uprising At Coral Gardens Jamaica
$20.61The Rastafarian’s uprising in Montego Bay, Jamaica on ‘Black Thursday’ April 11th 1963 is an indelible monument in the Rastafarian movement which is indigenous to Jamaica. Selbourne Reid, the author of this book, was a police officer and a member of the rifle group in the leading police party, escaped unhurt but some of his co-workers were seriously injured. He saw a man chopped to death within three to five (3Ft-5Ft) feet away as well as one of his co-worker seriously injured. He ran from the scene and while he was running he saw another of his co-worker being hacked to death. Selbourne could not help, as he had no ammunition for his rifle. This book is designed to satiate the reader who has a flare for humor. For example, The account of ‘A memorable lie’, or ‘The Obeah-man’ who stripped a young lady in a public place-in a bar-and anoint her nude body with some type of oil which he said would cause her to have an abortion.’ This man did other ludicrous acts and was subsequently arrested. There is also a question as to whether Inspector Fisher was saying ‘Where is Jimmy?’ even when he was being chopped by the Rastaman. Christian and ethical principles are highlighted in this book, as well as some lessons and techniques, which can be learned by some supervisors, public administrators and police or military leaders. Selbourne was employed in Law enforcement and Social work in Jamaica and the United States of America for over thirty-five years. He writes about certain incidents in his work experience. Selbourne Reid graduated with a BSc. Degree in Public Administration from of The University of The West Indies, Mona campus, Jamaica.

Concern for the earth and biblical faith have had an uneasy relationship: ecological theologians have often cited biblical themes of dominion or “mastery” over the land as contributing to our present environmental crisis. Walker-Jones explores Psalm genres and important metaphors in the Psalms for earth, the environment, and living things, while tracing their influence in contemporary culture, for example in recent films. He shows that the Psalms, like the earth that is our home – can be dangerous but also provide wonderful resources for life.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Rush To Injustice
$17.99A rowdy party, booze, boys, and a stripper-and after a wild night of living it up, charges of assault and rape were leveled at certain members of the Duke lacrosse team. When the district attorney brought charges, it seemed like an easy verdict. Few suspected then that this national blockbuster of a news story was all based on lies. Seasoned trial attorney Nader Baydoun deconstructs the case and reveals the egregious misconduct that led to a rush to judgment and a gross injustice. By presenting the evidence with a trained eye for detail, Baydoun exposes the political pandering of the district attorney, his neglect of crucial evidence, the way in which he stacked the case against the innocent suspects, and how he tenaciously believed unreliable victim testimony-all to ensure his reelection. Baydoun also takes the university leadership to task for its failure to support the students in the case. In this gripping tale of injustice, Baydoun sets the record straight and points the way to justice for the real victims.

Meaning Of The West
$35.00Don Cupitt proposes a reinterpretation of Christian history, arguing that the meaning of the West is not Catholic Christian, but radical Christian.

Today, Christian supernatural doctrine is dead, but the secular ‘West’ is Christianity itself is now emerging in its final, ‘Kingdom’ form.

What God Has Joined Together
$15.99Gay marriage has become the most important domestic social issue facing twenty-first-century Americans — particularly Americans of faith. Most Christians are pro-marriage and hold traditional family values, but should they endorse extending marriage rights to gays and lesbians? If Jesus enjoined us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and the homosexual is our neighbor, does that mean we should accept and bless gay marriages? These and other, related questions are tearing many faith-based communities apart.
Across the country, states have voted, courts have debated, and churches have divided over the legitimacy of same-sex marriage. Amid the uproar one perspective is decidedly missing: that of thoughtful, pro-marriage Christians who, informed by their faith, are struggling to make sense of this issue. What God Has Joined Together? is an effort to bridge the divide between marriage-supporting and gay-supporting people of faith by showing why both sides have important things to say and showing how both sides can coexist. Drawing on scientific research as well as on the Bible, the authors explain that marriage is emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually beneficial for everyone, not just heterosexuals.
They debunk myths about sexual orientation, assess claims of sexual reorientation, and explore what the Bible does and does not say about same-sex relationships. The book ends with a persuasive case for gay marriage and outlines how this can be a win-win solution for all.

What Does Abuse Look Like
$16.86The reason I chose to write about child/adult abuse is because I look at children and know some of their secrets. I know that some have been exploited to the point of degradation and humiliation, causing them to question who they are and why they are here. Their innocence has been preyed upon, and no one really knows their fears, anxieties, or complexities except those who have been there. They still need us to care and to expose the weaponry of the enemy. This is what my book attempts to do: expose the enemy, prepare children for their ministries, and equip them to yell at the tops of their lungs when immorality walks into their bedrooms. This is a plea to offenders to question themselves and ask, “What makes me feel so powerful when I’ve inflicted pain upon another?” Let them ask themselves why they cannot control this desire. I ask that we as a church embrace the contents of this book with compassion, understanding, and strong convictions to push back the forces of evil that violently assault the kingdom, for who knows what abuse looks like? There is explicit language, but only to convey my deepest experiences with child/adult abuse. Marilyn D. Mack

WILL THERE EVER BE PEACE? As the year 2000 approached, many people were filled with fear, believing the world would end or Jesus would return. Fear and anticipation reached a fevered pitch as the close of 1999 drew nearer. When 2000 came and went uneventfully, life returned to normal. Some people turned away from their faiths and others just fell back into society. On September 11, 2001, we were once again reminded of how vulnerable we are. The loss of life was horrible, but if we look beyond our safe America, we will see darkness and fear covering the entire earth. In the daily news you can see what this world is like. Is there an answer that would make sense of this life and all that’s happening? Will there be better days ahead? Or are things going to get worse? We are being warned to expect more attacks here in the U.S. How can we think of going on with our lives or hoping for a better future for our children? How can we have peace in an ever-changing world?Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Hope For Tomorrow
$21.18Here is a creative approach to Bible study that will spark discussion. McGriff tackles such issues as divorce, homosexuality, the divinity of Jesus, and miracles. This book will be of interest to church groups as well as to individuals wrestling with their personal faith.
Though he sometimes takes controversial positions, McGriff always delivers fascinating and challenging reflections. He reconsiders traditional interpretations of Jesus’ words, intending to stretch the minds of traditionalists while winning over doubters, especially those new to the Church but still sitting on the fringes of its theology.
One of America’s premier preachers, Dr. E. Carver McGriff has had a distinguished life and career. As a teenager, he was wounded and captured by a German SS battalion during World War II. He received a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts, and returned home to earn a degree in business administration from Butler University. Following a career as a salesman and a business owner, McGriff entered Garrett Theological Seminary, where he was voted Best Preacher by the faculty and graduated with distinction. He was then appointed by the Bishop of Indiana to start a new congregation on the northeast side of Indianapolis. He built the membership of his congregation from 900 to over 4,400, with Sunday attendance increasing from 300 to over 1,850.
During his Indianapolis ministry, McGriff received an honorary degree from the University of Indianapolis and the Outstanding Alumnus award from Butler University, and was voted the Distinguished Alumnus of the Year by Christian Theological Seminary. McGriff was also honored with the Sagamore of the Wabash by then Governor Evan Bayh. His sermons have been distributed nationwide by the Methodist Publishing Company.

Cease Fire A Print On Demand Title
$32.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.
Three abortion doctors and eight aides are gunned down and six are killed. More than 150 abortion clinics are firebombed. A church is vandalized by gay prostitutes. A pro-choice activist calls for “massive militant action” against anti-abortionists.
In Cease Fire Tom Sine takes up the concerns of millions of Christians – evangelical and mainline Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox – who feel uneasy with some of the excesses of the politically correct left but who recoil at the stance taken by Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Ralph Reed and the Christian Coalition that the extreme religious right, with its quest for political power, is the only place to turn.
Sine looks at the tactics and agendas of extremists on both sides and asks what society would look like if their particular visions were to win out. He then argues that the positions of the religious right and of the left are not the only available choices. The Bible offers a third choice, God’s “better way” – a biblical center represented by neither right nor left in the current debate.
Cease Fire is written to enable readers to understand why America’s culture wars are so adversarial, polarizing, and increasingly violent; to anticipate which side is likely to gain the upper hand in these contentious conflicts and how it is likely to shape our common future; and to offer a third way – a radical biblical alternative to the political ideologies of the religious right and the left – for those searching for a new place to stand in a new millennium.
