More TRUTH : Searching For Certainty In An Uncertain World
$16.99LESS Fake LESS Doubt MORE Truth Truth is a tricky thing. Today, “the truth” is not just hard to swallow; it is something we refuse to swallow. Truth is too certain, too divisive, too arrogant. In response, today’s truth is often one of relativism: what’s true for you might not be true for me. But if it’s sometimes true, and sometimes not, is it really truth at all? Jesus claimed to be “the way and the truth and the life.” But can we really accept this ultimate truth in an age of questioning, uncertainty, relativism and skepticism? In MORE Truth, young philosopher Kristi Mair explores whether Christians can be confident in the “truth” in our anything goes age. Aesthetically pleasing, quote-heavy, with short chapters that hold together like a series of blog posts on a theme, the more series will afford readers the space (whether it be five minutes on the subway or a quick evening devotional) to explore themes of the Bible in a life-applicable and accessible way.

Pilgrims Compass : Finding And Following The God We Seek
$18.00As we make our way into the twenty-first century, many Christians are looking for an expression of discipleship that speaks meaningfully to our time, a faith yearning that is at once personally intimate and relevant and that grows out of and nurtures authentic Christian community.
The Pilgrim’s Compass shepherds readers through a metaphorical pilgrimage to consider one’s life a journey for faith formation. Using this book as a guide to help Christians consider their journey as they walk through the four stages of intentional faithfulness, disciples will encounter God, wrestle with God, be wounded as will God, and be reborn as a new person with a new name. The Pilgrim’s Compass encourages individuals to embrace the ancient practice of pilgrimage both as metaphor for the daily walk of discipleship and as an intentional journey of faith, which uses prayerful travel to assist an inner transformation.

When Faith Fails
$17.99Pastor Dominic Done reveals how doubt can deepen faith and provides readers with a way to wrestle and ask questions while growing ever closer to God.
Wrestling with faith and doubt can be profoundly lonely and isolating. Some suffer in silence while others abandon belief altogether, assuming doubt is incompatible with faith. Dominic Done believes this is both tragic and deeply mistaken. In When Faith Fails, Done writes of his own experience with faith and doubt, using Scripture, literature, and the lives of others who have doubted to argue that not only is questioning normal but it is often a path toward a rich and vibrant faith. Taking up specific issues that often create doubt–the silence of God, the place of science, offensive portions of Scripture, and the problem of suffering–Done offers practical ways for Christians to move through doubt into deep faith, a faith that wrestles, celebrates questions, and embraces the mystery of belief.

Sacred Pace : Four Steps To Hearing God And Aligning Yourself With His Will
$18.99How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a five-step process for doing just that – a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company.
At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all-until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn.
Sacred Pace is a five-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to:
*slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
*sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord,
*gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and
*grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best.This book is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks readers through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.

Revealed : What The Bible Can Teach You About Yourself
$14.99Revealed: What the Bible Can Teach You About Yourself presents a unique look at a familiar cast of biblical characters through the eyes of a psychologist. While weaving in her personal story of healing, Schaffner uses her professional background to expertly highlight themes of seeking simplicity, finding purpose, and navigating painful and emotional experiences. Comprised of compelling, relatable stories, Revealed makes the Bible come alive to readers in a personal and meaningful way.

The author challenges readers to face the reality of their hearts and begin an inward journey of renewal, listening for God’s voice in unlikely places-and through unlikely people. Readers will see themselves more clearly through the lens of scripture and ultimately experience deeper self-awareness and spiritual growth.

Maturity : Growing Up And Going On In The Christian Life
$17.00What are the most important lessons the New Testament has to teach us about being a Christian?
Sinclair Ferguson shows that a deep-seated concern of the writers of the New Testament was to see Christians grow to spiritual maturity?”???”and if that was the concern of the first believers, then it should be our concern too.
In clear and logical chapters that are rooted in the reality of the Christian life, the author, who has had long experience in pastoral ministry and seminary teaching, seeks to show what Christian maturity is, and how it is to be obtained.
It was the apostle Paul’s desire to present those to whom he ministered ‘mature in Christ’?”???”for such a maturity would lead to stable, servant-hearted Christians, and healthy, fruit-bearing churches.
All those who desire to live useful, mature, and consistent Christian lives will gain much wisdom from reading and reflecting upon the contents of this book.

More Of God
$16.99Many of us want more from God instead of more of God.
Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” This is a promise. No one needs to tell you if the water you drank when you were thirsty made you feel better. So too with experiencing God. When it happens, you will know it for yourself.
More of God is about moving beyond faith. It is about getting more of God. Experiencing more of God. Every book in the Bible, especially the books of the New Testament, are written for this purpose. Take the letters; those who are addressed were already saved. But the writers wanted their hearers to experience not just more knowledge about God but more of God.
Everything in this book is designed to make you hungry. Thirsty. As you read, keep in mind that the ever-increasing hunger for more of God is from God.
Kendall’s advice: “Don’t settle for more mere information about God. Or more theological knowledge. Give yourself no rest until you cross over that crucial line from secondhand knowledge about God to firsthand knowledge of God. There is nothing more exciting than when you see for yourself that God is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit is real, and the Bible is true!”

Profound Good : See God Through The Lens Of His Love
$16.99What you see of God is only part of the story.
From the time Blake Healy was a small child, he has seen angels, demons, and other spiritual things. He sees them with his naked eyes, as vividly and clearly as anything else. Everyplace he goes, every person he meets, every day that goes by, he sees in the spirit.
After thirty years of seeing in the spirit, one thing has consistently been the most painful for him to see. It is not when he sees someone trapped in demonic oppression. It is not when he sees the gaping wounds of emotional trauma. It is when he sees the goodness of God go unclaimed by His people.
In this book Healy takes readers on a journey of rediscovering the goodness of God. It fills the churches we visit every week. It moves across the sea from nation to nation. All we have to do is learn how to see it and receive it, and then we will watch every corner of the world be completely transformed by the power of His profound good.

Life Without Lack
$19.99From beloved teacher and bestselling author Dallas Willard, an exploration of Psalm 23 and the secret of living a life of contentment, peace, and security. Now in trade paper.
Psalm 23 begins with an astounding assertion: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” This describes the life that we all desire, one where we lack nothing. But how do we get there? How do we live so that we not only do “not want” but “fear no evil?”
In this revelatory and profoundly pastoral new book, the late Dallas Willard shows us how by unpacking the 23rd Psalm to reveal what the apostle Paul and the psalmist before him knew: the secret of being content in any and every situation.
Life Without Lack introduces readers to God in a new way, demonstrating how to enjoy his presence as never before and how to be utterly caught up in his abundant generosity. The more we practice living in that presence, the more we experience the kind of peace, patience, kindness, and freedom from worry that is promised in the psalm. Based on a series of talks by the late author and edited by his friend and colleague, Larry Burtoft, and by his daughter, Rebecca Willard Heatley, Life Without Lack will forever change the way you understand and apply the most well-known passage in all of Scripture.

Inside The Miracles Of Jesus
$17.99Jesus demonstrated the presence and power of God by performing miracles. He turned water into wine, healed the sick, calmed the storm, opened blind eyes, and raised the dead. While these beloved stories draw our attention to divine power, Christ’s miracles signify something deeper-they’re windows into God’s grand story of human desperation and redemption. Every time we see Jesus performing a miracle, we also get a glimpse into the gift of desperation, a gift that opens us to the dramatic power of God through our desperate need for him.
By explaining the meaning and significance of these miracles, Jessica LaGrone shows us their relevance for our lives today. She unpacks how understanding the meaning of Christ’s miracles will help us better grasp the salvation God has brought into the world, see that our weakness is an invitation for God to work powerfully in our lives, and remind us that we need God on our best days just as much as we do on our worst.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Integrity And Gods Man
$13.95Integrity touches all of life, including every thought, act, and word we speak. It comes to us from our Creator, for it reflects his character in us. Due to our fallen nature, we do not comprehend its full capacity to transform us into Christ’s likeness, but this is God’s will ultimately.
Integrity and God’s Man is an in-depth Bible study on integrity for men, and author John Tucker invites men to cultivate their integrity in creative, challenging ways. Christian men can answer a number of questions: What is integrity in our personal walk with Christ? How is it formed? What circumstances ensure its presence in us? And what attitudes and lifestyles must we show for others to see Christ portrayed through us? Guided study through the Bible will help you answer these questions as you learn to build your Christian integrity.
Everyone claims to have integrity, but it’s more than just honesty and commitment. Biblical integrity links a man to the heart of God and to the souls of others. This truth is revealed in the passages of the Bible, so we must learn how to read, study, and live them as we open our hearts wider to God’s plan for our understanding and growth in integrity.

She invites readers to “live sent,” showing them how to see their surroundings with fresh eyes and renewed energy.

The Bible: the most read, referred to, revered, trusted, and respected book that mankind has ever been exposed to. After all, it IS the Word of God. It even says of itself,

Think of the ramifications of that!
If you’re one of the many people who say, “I try to read my Bible, but I don’t understand it.” Well, don’t lose heart, this book is for you! The principles contained herein, in bite-size form, if ascribed to, will enable you to read your Bible with new excitement, knowing you’re drawing from the most important Book ever written. These principles will guide your life, give you a Biblical worldview, and acquaint you with the indescribable love of the Father!

Monkhood Of All Believers
$27.00Although the institution of monasticism has existed in the Christian church since the first century, it is often misunderstood. Greg Peters, an expert in monastic studies, reintroduces historic monasticism to the Protestant church, articulating a monastic spirituality for all believers.
As Peters explains, what we have known as monasticism for the past 1,500 years is actually a modified version of the earliest monastic life, which was not necessarily characterized by poverty, chastity, and obedience but rather by one’s single-minded focus on God–a single-mindedness rooted in one’s baptismal vows and the priesthood of all believers.
Peters argues that all monks are Christians, but all Christians are also monks; To be a monk, one must first and foremost be singled-minded toward God. This book presents a theology of monasticism for the whole church, offering a vision of Christian spirituality that brings together important elements of history and practice. The author connects monasticism to movements in contemporary spiritual formation, helping readers understand how monastic practices can be a resource for exploring a robust spiritual life.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Magnificent Journey : Living Deep In The Kingdom
$17.99We are told, “Look out for yourself first” and “Nice guys finish last.” But following that path leaves us feeling isolated and anxious, and can even take us to a place of ruin. This is not a magnificent journey.
There is a road to life in the unshakeable kingdom of God, but it’s not an easy journey.
“We cannot enter into the kingdom unless we take our cross and die to ourselves,” writes author James Bryan Smith. “We often assume that this will be painful. And of course it is. But what is the alternative? I can, for example, choose to navigate my life, choose to live as I want, and aim at fulfilling all of my desires. This will result in that despair Kierkegaard wrote of, the sickness unto death. . . . The wisest choice, then, is to surrender.”
In The Magnificent Journey, the author shows us the better road, the road less travelled, but the road full of riches. Along the way he introduces us to new spiritual practices that will provide the sustenance we need for the deepest, most joy-filled journey of our lives-the journey into the heart of God.

$16.99A Protocol Ltd Title
Do thoughts of the last days fill you with fear?
Are you in denial about the present worldwide unrest?
Are you looking for a place of peace and safety in these End Times?
The high level of hostility, extreme hatred, and unprecedented violence worldwide today is unlike any other time in history. ISIS, Hezbollah, Hamas, North Korea, declarations to destroy Israel and America, grave division within the governments of many nations, the covert alliances of nations, and the contentiousness within the United Nations–all these are evidences of our reality. Many respond with fear, others with denial, still others seek to escape to safety.
*Are we living in the Last Days as prophesied in the Bible thousands of years ago?
*Who can escape the great and terrible Day of the Lord?
*Will the volatility we face with unpredictable world leaders and the escalating levels toward wars build up to World War III? Is this setting the stage for Armageddon described in the Bible?The Bible speaks of a great End-Time Harvest. The Church must be prepared to receive and disciple the many people who are awakening to the truth of Jesus. What does that look like and how can we prepare?
Prepare for the Harvest! Confidence in God’s End-Time Promises explores the answers to these questions and more. There is hope, there is safety, and there is escape. It’s not in cowering or hiding, but in knowing and embracing the truth, and joining the army of God whose victory is assured.

Burden Of Baggage
$16.99Every person coming to Christ has baggage, but a first-generation believer, especially one coming from little or no connection to Christianity, has an uncommon amount of cultural baggage that they bring with them. This book tackles a variety of issues and sees specific examples play out in the Iranian church as a prime example of these challenges. The Burden of Baggage explores how cultural upbringing is expressed in the personal, interpersonal, family, leadership, and spiritual nuances of church life-contributing to both strengths and weaknesses. Church teaching must shift the emphasis away from the self as perceived by the community in terms of honor and shame, instead encouraging people to give up their honor through humility, and refocus their attention on God and loving others. Readers will walk away knowing they are not alone in their struggles as they deal with gut-wrenching issues that often aren’t solved in one generation.

Eternity Is Now In Session
$17.99Something in us is waiting-for what, we don’t know. Something different? Something better?
For Christians, perhaps the deepest expression of what we’re waiting for is found in the phrase “eternal life.” But what is eternal life? Why do we want it? And how do we know if we have it?
In Eternity Is Now in Session, bestselling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die-and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.
Jesus defined eternal life just once, in John 17:3: “. . . that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” The kind of “knowing God” that is eternal life is an interactive relationship, not just an affirmation of certain facts about God. Once we begin the transformative journey of truly knowing God, we can start to experience His presence, favor, and resurrection power right here on this earth-in the details, tasks, and challenges of daily, ordinary life.
And as we begin to know God this way, we’ll realize each moment of our lives is a vehicle to the eternity we’ve been longing for all along.

Little Ways To Little Sanctity
$16.99Oshee Publishing Title
Growth in holiness, or sanctity, is an endeavor sought by most all the faithful in their individual journey towards Jesus Christ and to the realization of eternal salvation. Little Ways to Little Sanctity is written for the common person, motivated in faith, for he or she who seeks to improve their place in life. Countless individuals routinely ask about ways to grow closer to God the Father, how to become more pure and holy, how to be a responsible steward of the gifts with which one has been blessed. Little Ways to Little Sanctity is modeled in part after the life and “little way” of St. Therese of Lisieux. St. Therese is known the world over as a modern-day saint who was simple in intellect but a giant in humility and sanctity. Unbeknownst to many of her closest friends and family members, St. Therese sought to strengthen her relationship with Christ in all that she did. In her pursuit of holiness, her daily efforts were neither significant nor profound, but rather were focused on acts in simplicity and humility. St. Therese used a strand of ten beads, her Good Deed Beads, to count the times during her day during which she acted in holiness. Her Good Deed Beads became an important tool for her to grow in unity with Christ as she counted the times in which she acted for Jesus. This was the “little way” of St. Therese.
Little Ways to Little Sanctity is modeled on the faith and littleness of St. Therese and on her “little way.” The book is focused on ten key practices each of us can implement in our daily lives to similarly grow in faithfulness and in unity with our Creator. It is written for all ages from teenager to adult. Each chapter concludes with contemplative questions to ponder and consider for each on their individual journey towards Christ. The book is ideal for parishes, for youth groups, for faith-filled book clubs, and every individual motivated to be responsible for the gifts they have and to attune themselves to the call of Christ to seek holiness.

Life That Is Good
$27.99Somewhere out there is the “good life,” and we’re all scrambling to get it. Glenn Pemberton maintains in this book that we find the so-called good life not in good things but in living well–and the biblical book of Proverbs teaches us how to live that life.
Though based on solid biblical scholarship, A Life That Is Good is not a textbook, commentary, or comprehensive study. It is instead a readable, practical guide to the wisdom found in the ancient book of Proverbs–wisdom on everyday living, speech, relationships, justice, money, and much more. Pastors and church groups in particular will love and benefit from this relevant guide regarding the message of Proverbs for today’s world.

Dont Die In The Pew
$14.992thrive Incorporated LLC Title
Has the modern Church forsaken the Holy Word of God for a “feel good” doctrine that fills seats but puts souls in peril? Today, many of Christianity’s most uncomfortable topics are either ignored or misinterpreted. Don’t Die in the Pew offer’s a head-on, Scripture-based examination of many of the most controversial and confusing subjects within the modern Church. The author implores the Christian reader not to rely solely on man to interpret the Bible but to read and study for oneself to find the Truth. She demonstrates how Scripture can be misconstrued if not read and understood in context and in harmony with all related Scriptures.
Don’t Die in the Pew encourages the Christian reader to thoughtfully examine the surety of his or her salvation. The author takes the reader on a journey to find the rarely studied history of Israel and the early Church. She connects the dots of the Old and New Testament, and she uses Scripture to debunk the now popular “once saved, always saved” doctrine that is pervasive in many churches today.
Don’t Die in the Pew will surprise you and likely challenge long-held beliefs around thought-provoking questions such as:
-What is the relevance of the Old Testament in today’s world?
-Why is what’s happening in Israel important to Christian’s and to the “end times”?
-Is it possible to lose your salvation…is “Once Saved, Always Saved” a Biblical truth?
-What is God’s special relationship with Israel, a people He actually divorced? Jer 3:8We are all going to die a physical death, and most of us believe that we’re going to spend eternity somewhere. So, what makes this book a must read? Quite simply, it could save your life, your eternal one. The author has a God-given message for the Church. This book urges the Church, both leaders and goers, to WAKE UP and discover that the Truth can only be found in Scripture. It implores Christians not to ignore God’s written Word and warns that if you do, you may just die in the pew.
Join the writer on a fascinating journey through Scripture as she seeks the absolute Truth.

Invitation To Retreat
$25.99“Come away and rest awhile.”
Jesus invites us to be with him, offering our full and undivided attention to him. When we choose retreat we make a generous investment in our friendship with Christ. Truth is, we are not always generous with ourselves where God is concerned. Many of us have done well to incorporate regular times of solitude and silence into the rhythm of our ordinary lives which means we’ve gotten pretty good at giving God twenty minutes here and a half an hour there. And there’s no question we are better for it! But we need more. Indeed, we long for more.
In these pages Transforming Center founder and seasoned spiritual director, Ruth Haley Barton, gently and eloquently leads us into an exploration of retreat as a key practice that opens us to God. Based on her own practice and her experience leading hundreds of retreats for others, she will guide you in a very personal exploration of seven specific invitations contained within the general invitation to retreat. You will discover how to say yes to God’s winsome invitation to greater freedom and surrender. There has never been a time when the invitation to retreat is so radical and so relevant, so needed and so welcome. It is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual life.

Astonished By God
$17.99This book is a revised, improved version of Doctrine Matters.
For more than thirty years, John Piper pastored in the rough and tumble realities of downtown Minneapolis, preaching his people through the ups and down of life one Sunday at a time. When it came to capturing a generation of joy in one final sermon series, he turned to ten trademark truths to leave ringing in his peoples’ ears.
These ten are world-shaking truths-each astonishing in its own way. First they turned Piper’s own world upside down. Then his church’s. And they will continue to turn the whole world upside down as the gospel of Christ advances in distance and depth. These surprising doctrines, as Piper writes, are “wildly untamable, explosively uncontainable, and electrically future-creating.”
Join a veteran author, pastor, and Christian statesman as he captures the ten astonishing, compassionate, life-giving, joy-awakening, hope-sustaining truths that have held everything together for him.

When Your Bad Meets His Good
$16.99*Teaches readers how to change their perceptions regarding the bad things that happen to them
*Includes tips to help readers shift their minds
*Provides prayers and declarations for readers to speak over themselves and their families every day
Imagine a life in which we literally believe God and take Him at His Word, one in which we let the trials and tribulations that hit us roll off our backs. We look at those trials as a “life college” and learn everything we can through them. We get better, not bitter. When relationships fail, instead of looking at them as our personal failures, we believe rejection is God’s protection and that He wanted the people out of our lives.
The points in this book are all about perception shifts-learning how to take the bad and shift it for our good. Everything happens for a reason, so instead of getting mad at God for not healing our marriages, giving us favor with a promotion, or saving us from bankruptcy, let’s look at everything we experience as a means of advancement in our lives.
