Coming Present : Living With Multiple Personality Disorder Dissociative Ide
$22.99“The most significant result of dissociation was the loss of time. The most significant feeling during sexual abuse was powerlessness. There seemed to be no use to fighting, it was useless. Powerlessness led to the loss of hope. The loss of hope led to depression. Depression often followed me since I was young. I easily got depressed, and I turned my anger in on myself. The fear, led to anger. Anger that led to self loathing, low self esteem, and self- scratching to alter my low mood. Yet, even as I was plagued by these things, I kept up a “normal” lifestyle. I don’t think most of my friends even had a clue I was a multiple. Sometimes strange, or forgetful, even a liar, but not multiple.”
Caroline was the victim of repeated childhood sexual abuse and suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder from the age of three. She cultivated a life of secrecy to avoid explaining her loss of time, body memories, and post-traumatic stress symptoms, fearful that psychiatrists would lock her up and throw away the key. As an adult, Caroline finally found a Christian therapist and began her healing journey, applying an adapted Attachment-Repair technique, giving glory to God, and becoming integrated. Most of her story is recorded in her journals.
Caroline is a first time author, a California native, married with three children. She has a passion to help multiples to seek Christian counseling and become integrated. She hopes her book will be useful to abuse survivors, their families, professionals in the field of Psychology, students, and support people of those suffering with Multiple Personality/Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Miracles In The Forgotten Land And Beyond
$16.99MIRACLES IN THE FORGOTTEN LAND and BEYOND
Eighteen year-old Setan Lee was in shock as soldiers jumped out of huge trucks in Battambang Temple Square, shouting, “Enemies!” and pointing guns at them. This was the New Year celebration and they had no idea why these “black uniform soldiers” were ordering them out of the city at gunpoint to an unknown destination. Setan’s best friend asked one of the soldiers why they were calling them the enemy. He answered with gunshots that left Setan’s friend dead at his feet!
Thirteen-year-old Randa Yos was at home in Battambang with her family that fateful day when they heard shouting in the street, ordering people to come out of their homes into the streets. They had just learned that the black uniform soldiers had taken her father from his office at the University. They and thousands of others were forced at gunpoint to march to an unknown destination.
That day began four years of slavery and starvation in the killing fields for thousands of Cambodians. The horror of Setan and Randa’s lives during their imprisonment and how they finally escaped will hold you spellbound as you read their story.

Dead And Moving
$15.99It is with immense gratitude for the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and for God’s gracious pursuit of sinners, that this memoir was written. I attempt to speak for all who live a hedonistic lifestyle (characterized in this account by drug and alcohol use, sexual indiscretion, health negligence and immoral conduct) and who survive outside of the will of God. For over ten years, it has been the burden of my heart to: reveal the potential anguish of bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses; persuade those who suffer similarly of the necessity for strict medical care and prescription drug adherence; convey to family and friends the need for personal involvement; share the joy and sufficiency of life in Christ, and compare it with the loneliness and void of mere material gain. Furthermore, I wish to stress that it is at any time in our lives – under any circumstances- that we can be spiritually victorious.

Worth Every Tear
$22.99Most parents have heard of the prodigal son, but few expect their precious child – the one who wraps himself around their hearts and them around his little finger – might one day make them doubt themselves at every turn.
This book is for any parent who has ever gazed into a child’s eyes and fallen in love . . . who has poured heart and soul into that child, that he might have the best in life. It is a book for parents who have stared into their own tortured eyes in the mirror and asked, “Why?”
“In a day when ‘expert’ advice about parenting abounds, Cheri Hardaway’s Worth Every Tear is a gem. It’s an honest story of Christian parents who try hard and feel failure. Yet God leads them back, so beautifully, to an understanding that He is as sovereign in the lives of their children as He is in their own. Worth Every Tear will bring tears to your own eyes, as it encourages parents who struggle with doubt and disappointment.”

Diary Of A Kidnapped Columbian Governor
$17.95The dramatic rescue and release of Colombia hostage Ingrid Betancourt on July 2, 2008, riveted the world’s attention. Another kidnapping victim that year was the governor of Antioquia, Guillermo Gaviria Correa. Little known is his embrace of nonviolence as a political strategy that led to his capture by the FARC and his death during a failed rescue attempt May 5, 2003. The book is being published on the seventh anniversary of his death.
Is a non-killing society possible? Here is the story of how Governor Guillermo Gaviria of the state of Antioquia, in Colombia, paid with his life for taking this question seriously. Knowing that kidnapping and death were real possibilities, Gaviria, inspired by the nonviolent principles of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, believed they could be applied in one of the most violent places on earth. Thus he organized a peaceful march in solidarity with coffee growers in Caicedo. The five-day march ended with his capture by the FARC.
Held for over a year in the jungles of the Colombian countryside, the governor kept a diary and wrote letters to his wife, family, and colleagues. This book is a compilation of his diary and letters, translated from the original Spanish into English. The editor had the privilege to meet the governor’s widow, Colombian Senator Yolanda Pinto de Gaviria in 2007. Her heartfelt desire was to bring her husband’s story to a broader English readership. A translation and editing team from Akron (Pa.) Mennonite Church accepted the challenge and partnered with the Center for Global Nonkilling to bring this amazing story to light.

Billy Graham : His Life And Influence

Cancer And Me
$13.49You simply say, “Oh, no, this can’t be cancer!” You talk to God like never before. And you realize it is time to get in touch with your inner self to learn who you really are. You ask questions like:
“How will I come out of this, mentally and spiritually?”
“Will I make it?”
“Will my family make it? Have I prepared them for such a bumpy road?”
Through it all, you learn to lean on God like never before, as well as on your praying friends. When treatment is over and good reports start coming in, you realize that you are a changed person. You have a new attitude about yourself; you realize you have a caring concern for others going through a similar trial.
My desire is to reach out to those hurting “others”, to give them hope and brighten their days. Perhaps, ultimately, even to encourage them in their personal relationship with God.

funerals of pandemic death. Crack this book and it will draw you into the realities of another world and God’s ability to effect change at home and abroad. I know. I’ve already been reading the book of Rachel’s life for over fifty years, and I’m moved beyond words.

Beyond Belief : Finding The Strength To Come Back
$21.99Josh Hamilton was the first player chosen in the first round of the 1999 baseball draft. He was destined to be one of those rare “high-character ” superstars. But in 2001, working his way from the minors to the majors, all of the plans for Josh went off the rails in a moment of weakness. What followed was a 4-year nightmare of drugs and alcohol, estrangement from friends and family, and his eventual suspension from baseball.
BEYOND BELIEF details the events that led up to the derailment. Josh explains how a young man destined for fame and wealth could allow his life to be taken over by drugs and alcohol. But it is also the memoir of a spiritual journey that breaks through pain and heartbreak and leads to the spectacular rebirth of his major-league career.
Josh Hamilton makes no excuses and places no blame on anyone other than himself. He takes responsibility for his poor decisions and believes his story can help millions who battle the same demons. “I have been given a platform to tell my story” he says. “I pray every night I am a good messenger.”

God Alone Is Enough
$18.99No one can teach a Christian to pray, like Teresa can. This lively little book introduces postmodern readers to one of Christianity’s most endearing prayer warriors, and guides them through her most radical teachings.

This journey through the life and writings of Teresa of Avila will engage Christians who would have never before considered encountering a post-Reformation Catholic nun. Mair Burney makes Teresa accessible-and essential-for understanding what it means to come to know God, and how it’s possible.

Francis Schaeffer : A Mind And Heart For God
$15.99The Center for Faith and Culture on the campus of South Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2008 held the first-ever conference in honor of Dr. Francis Schaeffer. The conference was more than an historical inquiry into the life and ministry of Schaeffer; it was about how Schaeffer might inform Christians in the 21st century on reaching culture with biblical and philosophical integrity. Schaeffer’s view of people was that they belonged to humanity—broken humanity, yes—but nonetheless humanity made in the image of God. This was more than a point of doctrine for Schaeffer; it was the ground on which he treated each person with significance and respect. This book supports the belief that Francis Schaeffer’s word to the Christian community is as relevant today, and maybe more so, than in his own lifetime.

Altar In The World
$16.99In her critically acclaimed Leaving Church (“a beautiful, absorbing memoir”-The Dallas Morning News), Barbara Brown Taylor wrote about her experience leaving full-time ministryto become a professor, a decision that stretched the boundaries of her faith. Now, in her stunning follow-up, An Altar in the World, she shares how she learned to encounter God far beyond the walls of the church.
Taylor reveals meaningful ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see, from simple practices such as walking, working, and prayer. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of meditation if we pay attention to what we’re doing and take time to notice the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection. Allowing yourself to get lost leads to new discoveries. As we incorporate these practices into our daily lives, we begin to discover altars everywhere we go, in nearly everything we do. Through Taylor’s expert guidance and delicate, thought-provoking prose, we learn to live with purpose, pay attention, slow down, and revere the world we live in.

Kierkegaard
$15.99Abingdon Pillars of Theology is a series for the college and seminary classroom designed to help students grasp the basic and necessary facts, influence, and significance of major theologians. Written by noted scholars, these books will outline the context, methodology, organizing principles, primary contributions, and key writings of people who have shaped theology as we know it today.
Sren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) “foresaw, the power of mass culture to numb the human spirit has only waxed in strength and virulence. The prostitution of religion to legitimate self-aggrandizing ideologies has become a veritable global industry. The reduction of neighbor-love to the most minimal standards of decent behavior has devolved to the point where slightly altruistic celebrities are heralded as Christ-like saints. The deep yearnings of the human heart are being suffocated by trivial amusements, technological toys, and the manipulation of the psyche. Now, perhaps more than ever, Christianity needs an aggravating Socrates to disturb its complicity with a culture of individual self-gratification and corporate self-deification.” from the book

Faith: Although I was born to have a “Father-child” relationship with the almighty God, the truth of that had not been revealed to me until God removed the veil and opened my eyes to this truth, and conversion took place in my heart.
Trials: Thirty years later, when visiting my homeland for the second time, I was faced with an unpleasant surprise when the government of Iran did not permit me to leave the country!
Victories: After two months of going between government offices and courtrooms, I realized that I might be there for a very long time! Then I chose a daring path and escaped from Iran with the aid of some men as my angels. These men, using horses, secretly brought me out of Iran in a dangerous adventure over the mountains into Turkey. God used these men to rescue me from the hands of my adversaries to safety.

Hand And The Road
$50.00This is the first biography of John A. Mackay (1889-1983), an important Presbyterian leader, missionary, and professor who served as president of Princeton Theological Seminary from 1936 to 1959. As president, he rebuilt the seminary faculty after the split in 1927. His ecumenical vision opened Princeton to a wider ecumenical stance and, under his leadership, the seminary prospered as a leading Protestant theological institution. Mackay was a leading ecumenist for much of the twentieth century and helped establish the World Council of Churches. He also founded Theology Today and is recognized as a major figure in both the Presbyterian Church and in theological education. This biography is made all the more compelling by the fact that it was authored by Mackay’s grandson, John Metzger, son of the late Princeton Seminary professor, Dr. Bruce M. Metzger.

Because They Hate
$18.99Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam. In 1975 she was ten years old and living in Southern Lebanon when militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into her country and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. Lebanon was the only Christian influenced country in the Middle East, and the Lebanese Civil War was the first front in what has become the worldwide jihad of fundamentalist Islam against non-Muslim peoples. For seven years, Brigitte and her parents lived in an underground bomb shelter. They had no running water or electricity and very little food; at times they were reduced to boiling grass to survive.
Because They Hate is a political wake-up call told through a very personal memoir frame. Brigitte warns that the US is threatened by fundamentalist Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was- radical Islam will stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries. Gabriel saw this mission start in Lebanon, and she refuses to stand silently by while it happens here. Gabriel sees in the West a lack of understanding and a blatant ignorance of the ways and thinking of the Middle East. She also points out mistakes the West has made in consistently underestimating the single-mindedness with which fundamentalist Islam has pursued its goals over the past thirty years. Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Gabriel tells her own story as well as outlines the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this critical historical conflict.
