Wilderness Of Mirrors
$24.99Despite all our material and technological advances, Western society is experiencing a deep malaise caused by a breakdown of trust. We’ve been misled by authorities and institutions, by businesses and politicians, and even by those who were supposed to care for us. The very cohesion of society seems tenuous at times.
The church is not immune from these trends. Historically, it has a dubious record when it has wielded power; personally, many of its members are as afflicted by our culture’s breakdown as anyone.
In A Wilderness of Mirrors author Mark Meynell explores the roots of the discord and alienation that mark our society, but he also outlines a gospel-based reason for hope. An astute social observer with a pastor’s spiritual sensitivity, Meynell grounds his antidote on four bedrocks of the Christian faith: sin, Jesus, the church, and the story of redemption.
Ultimately hopeful, A Wilderness of Mirrors calls Christians to bear witness to Jesus’s victory amid a disillusioned world, a world more than ever in need of his trustworthy goodness.

When The Game Is Over It All Goes Back In The Box Participants Guide
$10.99Today is the day you choose . . .
. . . which game you want to win.
. . . which prize you want to collect.
. . . which priorities you want to set.It’s a thrill to win at checkers or Clue or Trivial Pursuit. You sweep aside the other players and you own the board. It s also a thrill to win a promotion at work the new house you wanted that sports car you ve always eyed. But just like the game cards, the tokens, and the timer, those prizes are temporary. When the game is over, they all go back in the box.
Games can cast a powerful spell, says bestselling author John Ortberg. But the wisest player remembers that the game is always going to end. So what can we take with us to the kingdom of God? Only the love we have for Christ, the love we have for each other, and our own souls. While it s not bad to be good at chess or Risk or the game of life on Earth we can’t allow it to get in the way of what really matters.
Using his humor and his genius for storytelling, Ortberg helps you focus on the real rules of the game and how to set your priorities. When the Game Is Over, It All Goes Back in the Box Participant’s Guide helps explain how, left to our own devices, we tend to seek out worldly things, mistakenly thinking they will bring us fulfillment. But everything on Earth belongs to God. Everything we own is just on loan. And what pleases God is often 180 degrees from what we may think is important.
In the six sessions you will learn how to:
*Live passionately and boldly
*Learn how to be active players in the game that pleases God
*Find your true mission and offer your best
*Fill each square on the board with what matters most
*Seek the richness of being instead of the richness of havingYou can’t beat the house, notes Ortberg. We re playing our game of life on a giant board called a calendar. Time will always run out, so it s a good thing to live a life that delights your Creator. When everything goes back in the box, you ll have made what is temporary a servant to what is eternal, and you’ll leave this life knowing you’ve achieved the only victory that matters.

Life Youve Always Wanted
$19.99You can live a deeper, more spiritual life right where you are. The heart of Christianity is transformation-a relationship with God that impacts not just our spiritual lives but every aspect of our daily lives. John Ortberg calls readers back to the dynamic heartbeat of Christianity-God’s power to bring change and growth-and reveals how and why transformation takes place.
The Life You’ve Always Wanted offers modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines. But it is more than just a book about things to do to be a good Christian. It’s a road map toward true transformation that starts not with the individual but with the person at the journey’s end-Jesus Christ.
As with a marathon runner, the secret to finishing a race lies not in trying harder, but in training consistently-training with the spiritual disciplines. The disciplines are neither taskmasters nor ends in themselves. Rather they are exercises that build strength and endurance for the road of growth. The fruit of the Spirit-joy, peace, kindness, etc.-are the signposts along the way. Paved with humor and sparkling anecdotes, The Life You’ve Always Wanted is an encouraging and challenging approach to a Christian life that’s worth living-a life on the edge that fills an ordinary world with new meaning, hope, change, and joy.

Awaken The Outlaw Magician And Hero Inside
$18.99Every great adventure has an Outlaw, a Magician, and a Hero. Discover that you are all three in the adventure of your life.
The Outlaw is the disruptor of all things normal. The Magician is the figure who brings about transformation. And the Hero is the person who has overcome temptation and returned back to society to bring back knowledge and wisdom to benefit everyone else. Consistently, we see these figures in our lives, our stories, and especially as Christians, in our faith. Stroup explains that we find them in the Bible because each is present within each of us.
It was only when we discover this combination-Outlaw, Magician, Hero-that we finally start to understand the different aspects, behaviors, and inclinations within ourselves. Each of these figures can conflict with each other unless they work together. No one was meant to live the life given to them by someone else. Instead, we are meant to live the life deeply implanted within us at the moment of creation.
The world is a better place because we develop an awareness of these parts of ourselves and take the risk of breaking through normal to find a new normal-one where our gifts, abilities, notions, and hunches lead us to a place of satisfaction and fulfillment. This book helps all of us find that place.

Adam Where Are You
$12.99Adam, Where Are You? Come Out From Under Your Cover
Not all that appears to be good is of God unless you know the true spirit of its intent, its motive – its purpose.
Adam, Where are You? is a genesis question. It requires an honest answer in order to uncover the true spiritual condition of our soul.
God asks this question because the conflicts that we face are due to the lack of communication that causes division; and yet it is not with others, but rather within ourselves.
As long as we remain under our cover, we simply do not know and understand ourselves as well as we think. We cover ourselves because we don’t know and understand the heart of God that is found under His covering.
Join in this journey of the soul to understand the answer to God’s question; to reveal our true intentions and to discover the truth of God’s loving intentions for us – His purpose.

Believing God
$16.99“Is it working? Your belief system, that is. Is it really working? God’s intention all along has been for the believer’s life to work. From divine perspective toward terrestrial turf, God meant for his children to succeed. . .Are our Christian lives successful? Are they achieving and experiencing what Scripture said they would? In a recent sermon my son-in-law preached, Curt told us the only way we were going to impact the world and the next generation is to prove that our faith in Christ is real and that it works. For countless Christians I’m convinced it’s real. My concern is whether or not we have the fruit to suggest it works.”-Beth Moore; Believing God

Secret Of Greatness
$10.99Many people suffer in life just because they don’t know who they are and what they are destined for. This book will help you to know who you are and what you are destined for in order to break through in life. Many people also fail in life due to their negative response to change. Change is permanent, constant and so powerful that it affects everything under the sun. With the exception of God, everything goes through change. Since everything changes, one’s success or failure in life depends largely on his or her reaction or response to change. For this reason, this book has been written to draw believers’ attention to the power of change in order to help them make it in life. This book will also enable you to know the reason why Africa is underdeveloped despite its numerous natural resources. The Bible says, “For lack of knowledge my people are destroyed”. This book is full of divine truth. Read it to transform your life.

Faith : What Christians Believe Why They Believe It And Why It Matters
$15.99Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God’s kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. This is the heart of the gospel: God’s search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this? Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry-have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance? Those of us who are Christians-have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God’s coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications? The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.

Resolution For Women
$24.99With Everything You Have to Do, Have You Taken The Time to Decide Who You Want to Be?
From best-selling author and speaker, Priscilla Shirer, in partnership with the creators of The Love Dare, challenges all women in The Resolution for Women to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God’s beautiful and eternal calling on their lives.
Layered with biblical truth and seasoned with daily encouragement, this book will inspire the woman you see in the mirror to trust God’s perfect plan for her life, resolving to become “purposefully feminine, surprisingly satisfied, and faithfully His.” Shirer explains how today’s women can and should live out their own resolution. It is “a defining banner that hangs over your life, written in the ink of your own choices.” A woman’s banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be-someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better. Written in partnership with the movie Courageous and Stephen and Alex Kendrick’s book, The Resolution for Men, it is designed to inspire a revolution.

Searching For Sunday
$19.99New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a quest to find out what it really means to be part of the Church.
Like millions of her millennial peers, Rachel Held Evans didn’t want to go to church anymore. The hypocrisy, the politics, the gargantuan building budgets, the scandals-church culture seemed so far removed from Jesus. Yet, despite her cynicism and misgivings, something kept drawing her back to Church. And so she set out on a journey to understand Church and to find her place in it.
Centered around seven sacraments, Evans’ quest takes readers through a liturgical year with stories about baptism, communion, confirmation, confession, marriage, vocation, and death that are funny, heartbreaking, and sharply honest.
A memoir about making do and taking risks, about the messiness of community and the power of grace, Searching for Sunday is about overcoming cynicism to find hope and, somewhere in between, Church.

10 Second Rule
$14.99FINDING YOUR WAY BACK TO A MORE PASSIONATE FAITH- ONE SMALL DECISION AT A TIME!
Do you sometimes feel as if your faith has gone flat? Does your spiritual life feel listless and boring? Perhaps you’ve unconsciously drifted toward what Clare De Graaf calls beige Christianity. You go to church, attend a Bible study, and even volunteer, but there’s no spark anymore–no joy in your spiritual walk. You may not understand what is happening to your faith, but you do know that you long for something more.
If you want to break out of this spiritual gerbil cage and begin living the adventure Jesus intends for you, the place to begin again is living by The 10-Second Rule: Just do the next thing you’re reasonably certain Jesus wants you to do (and do it within the next ten seconds before you change your mind!).
The Rule is like a spiritual defibrillator! Just a few chapters in, you’ll begin to experience the excitement of making yourself available to God 24-7, and impacting the lives of everyone around you, even total strangers. All over the world, Christians just like you are returning to the simple faith of Jesus and living by the 10-Second Rule. In living by the Rule, you’ll rediscover the revolutionary power of simple obedience as Jesus taught it, the early church lived it, and before religious Christianity tamed it.
Finally, a rule you’ll love keeping!

Shorter Catechism Made Simple
$13.31Generations of Christians have found the Westminster Shorter Catechism to be a wonderful treasury of spiritual gold. It outlines the core Christian beliefs and the essential characteristics of Christian living in a way that enlightens the mind and inspires the heart. Its most famous statement, that ‘our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him for ever’ is widely recognized as a piece of timeless wisdom.
Sadly, though, the wisdom of the Westminster Shorter Catechism is increasingly hard for many people today to appreciate. With the passage of time, its beautiful 17th Century English has become further and further removed from the language we use every day.
This brief book aims not only to address this problem by putting the Catechism into modern English, but likewise to highlight the carefully arranged structure of the catechism a structure that in itself contains a great deal of wisdom. To achieve this, the catechism is divided into sections, and a few notes to help explain it are given. May God use it to help a new generation glorify and enjoy Him!Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Diferente – (Spanish)
$10.99Aunque a algunos les cueste confesarlo, hablar de santidad no siempre suena positivo. De hecho, para las nuevas generaciones suena a una larga lista de cosas que no se deben hacer. Sin embargo, esa no es la perspectiva de Dios. Diferente, La emocionante aventura de la santidad muestra que en las enseanzas de Jesus se descubre claramente que la santidad tiene mas que ver con lo que hacemos que con lo que no hacemos. Los evangelios nos cuentan mas de lo que Jesus si hizo que de lo que dejo de hacer y por eso ser santos como el es santo tiene que ver con hacer lo que en nuestro lugar hubiera hecho Jesus. Vivir como el vivio. Desde esta perspectiva: la santidad es emocionante. Es el camino mas inteligente, el de personas plenas, jovenes que marcan una diferencia positiva en la sociedad y sueos cumplidos. En Diferente aprendemos que: -La santidad por omision no es suficiente -La invitacion a la santidad de accion -Ser diferentes es una manera de honrar a Dios por como nos diseo personalmente -El manejo de las tentaciones -El enfoque de tu energia -Los sueos que siempre se cumplen -Peor que muchos fracasos son pocos intentos -Lo que deben decir en tu funeral

$21.17How Intimate, Caring Conversation Brings Freedom and Healing
How many times in everyday conversation do believers struggle to comfort a hurting world? We should be “first responders,” says Andy Reese, yet we lack the tools to reach out.

These easy-to-use tools can fill even our casual conversations with the saving, healing, and delivering power of Jesus Christ. This newly repackaged edition is excellent for small group studies.

Your God Given Dignity
$14.99Your God Given Dignity has thirty days of interesting and fun ideas/practices for acknowledging and loving yourself so that you can be your best for God, your family, and the world.
Your God Given Dignity is a heartfelt yet fun companion to help make positive changes in self-acknowledgment. Often Christian women work very hard, taking on leadership and supportive roles in the church, community, at their jobs and with their families, only to neglect themselves to their own physical, mental, and spiritual detriment. When complete in Christ, living in relationship with the heavenly Father, we can handle what is necessary, know when to say enough, and know when to ask for help. The practices within these pages help bring us back to alignment. Your God Given Dignity presents simple concepts with verses and quotes, insights and action steps that incorporate learning strategies using all five senses (given to us by God for a purpose) to imbed positive thoughts-and especially God’s words-into our brains. The goal is to bring our minds back from “unworthy” thoughts to what God thinks through repetition and other practices. The renewed mind becomes easier as the thoughts of God, positive images, and supportive actions are consistently practiced and reinforced. Some of these practices involve goal setting and observing daily life to find personal strengths and passions so they can be strengthened even more. Christ’s disciples were just that-“disciplined ones”-but it doesn’t happen overnight. That is what we endeavor to pursue, step-by-step discipline, with these positive practices to incorporate God’s thoughts into our minds. Gentle reminders of what we do have put us back on the road to full capacity with less internal resistance. The trick is to acknowledge those things in ourselves and remember that God has made us worthy. “Failures” need to be forgiven and forgotten, and successes acknowledged for the gift they are. When we can truly believe God at His Word without reservation, through the renewed mind, we can shine as brilliant lights in this world.

Jesus Swagger : Break Free From Poser Christianity
$22.34Millennial pastor Jarrid Wilson calls his generation to drop the pretenses and poses of false Christianity and walk like true followers of Jesus.
It’s easy to live in America as a poser Christian, to keep up appearances while remaining unchanged by the gospel. But in a world of constant conformity, God has called us to be different (Romans 12:2) and set apart (Jeremiah 1:5), walking with a genuine Jesus Swagger. None of us does that perfectly, but all of us can do it better.
Jesus Swagger is about giving younger Christians the perspective necessary to see how they’re doing. Chapter by chapter, Jesus Swagger exposes a piece of our false self and bogus motivations so we can become real followers. If we take that journey, we will find a deeper relationship with God-one that changes the world around us. Real Jesus Swagger is contagious. It’s about being who God has called us to be, and not who the world is tempting us to be.

Grace Vs Judgment

*Understand how both grace and judgment can be operative in the same time and place;
*Take a scriptural tour of God’s covenant with Abram, a covenant that is still in place today, to see why the United States has reaped negative judgment as a result of violating the covenant; and
*Have a mature understanding of why and how a person walking in faith can experience problems.Through it all, you will embrace God’s amazing, all-sufficient grace that enables you to live in righteousness, truth, and freedom!

Becoming Worldly Saints
$22.99If following Jesus involves a life of sacrifice and suffering, is it wrong for a Christian to seek purpose and joy in this world? Many Christians sense a tension between their desire to enjoy life in this world-the beauty of God’s creation, the rich love of deep relationships with others-and the reality that this world is fallen and broken, in need of redemption. How can we embrace and thrive in the tension between enjoying creation and promoting redemption? By living out our God-given purpose. As “worldly saints,” created in the image of God, we are natural creatures with a supernatural purpose-to know and love God. Because we live in a world that is stained by the curse of sin, we must learn to embrace our nature as creatures created in the image of God while recognizing our desperate need for the grace that God offers to us in the gospel. Writing in a devotional style that is theologically rich, biblically accurate, and aimed at ordinary readers, Mike Wittmer helps readers understand who they are, why they are here, and the importance of the story they tell themselves. In Becoming Worldly Saints, he gives an integrated vision that shows how we can be heavenly minded in a way that leads to earthly good, empowering believers to seize the abundant life God has for them.

Religion Trap : Religion Versus Relationship
$10.99Carmen Menefee became a Christian and soon found that she was expected to be in church every night of the week. As a wife, mother, daughter, and employee, she struggled with competing demands. For twenty-three years she served in various positions in her previous church and experienced the damaging effects of misplaced priorities. Now freed from the religion trap, Carmen has learned the importance of keeping her relationship with Christ first. Have you slipped into the religion trap? It can happen to the most genuine believer. We shift our focus from being right with God to doing the right things. Emphasis on the external gives us a false sense of security, and the downward spiral begins. Becoming religious, we go through the motions and grow cold in our relationship with Christ. The enemy may have ensnared you if: . You’re busy but not fruitful in the purposes of God. . You feel manipulated to attend, serve, or give at church. . You’re more concerned with other people’s sins than your own. . You’re neglecting your family because you’re at church too much. . You’re not free to experience the Holy Spirit’s leading in your decisions. Jesus Christ can free you from the religion trap so you can enjoy a satisfying, intimate relationship with him. Walk away from the bondage of legalism into God’s glorious grace.

Ofrece esclarecedoras formas de como la fe puede expresarse de maneras que desarmen incluso a los criticos mas cinicos y examina que son las Buenas Nuevas y lo que vale la pena preservar en una cultura que cree que ha rechazado la fe cristiana.
