Diez Mandamientos La Importanc – (Spanish)
$15.99The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable or experiencing, they are the blueprint of God’s expectations of us and His plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focal point for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech, and thought. Written in collaboration with Rabbi Stewart Vogel, The Ten Commandments incorporates lively discussion of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian values derived from it. Filled with passion, emotion, and profound insights, it will move, enlighten, inspire, entertain, and educate you on the meaning each commandment has in our daily lives today:
I am the Lord, your God, Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery.
You shall not recognize the gods of others in My presence.
You shall not take the Name of the Lord., your God, in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day and sanctify it.
Honor your Father and your Mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your fellow.
You shall not covet.
Los Diez Mandamientos son la primera comunicacion directa entre las personas y Dios. Estan diseados para elevar nuestras vidas por encima de una frenetica y salvaje existencia hacia los niveles sublimes que la humanidad es capaz de experimentar, y constituyen el esquema de las expectativas que Dios tiene de nosotros y de Su plan para que vivamos una vida significativa, justa, cariosa y santa. Cada uno de los Mandamientos afirma un principio, y cada principio es un punto moral central para asuntos de la vida real que se relacionan con Dios, la familia, el sexo, el trabajo, la caridad, la propiedad, la comunicacion verbal y el pensamiento.
En Los Diez Mandamientos, la Dra. Laura Schlessinger nos recuerda que le damos o quitamos el significado a nuestras vidas por medio de nuestras decisiones cotidianas, y nos explica como el mantenerse fiel a los ideales superiores y la moralidad consistente con los Mandamientos puede crear una vida de gran proposito, integridad, valor y felicidad duradera. Escrito en colaboracion con el Rabino Stewart Vogel, Los Diez Mandamientos incorpora animadas discusiones de la Biblia y los valores judeocr

12 Ordinary Men
$19.99Contrary to popular belief, we do not have to be perfect to do God’s work. Look no further than the twelve disciples whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Jesus chose ordinary men – fisherman, tax collectors, political zealots – and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from utter uselessness. MacArthur draws principles from Christ’s careful, hands-on training of the original twelve disciples for today’s modern disciple – you.

Putting A Face On Grace
$16.00Complete the Cycle of Grace
How sweet the sound-it saved a wretch like you. It’s amazing. But has God’s grace changed you? Is it changing others through you? Richard Blackaby explores what may be causing you to miss out on an abundant life of grace, and how simply knowing about it is a far cry from embracing a grace-filled lifestyle. Once you fully experience and grasp its essence, you can’t help but “practice” God’s undeserved favor by passing it on to everyone around you. Grace shares a close relationship with love, is never static, and is always searching for those willing to receive it. This book focuses on pointed and practical life application so that you can attain the power of gracious living today!
Let God’s Grace
Flow Through You
God’s grace is so boundless,
so contrary to human nature,
and so unconditionally given
that you will never understand it…
…until you give it away.
Get ready to be washed in pure joy, renewed by a fresh sense of gratitude for the rich, undeserved favor God continually bestows upon you. Dr. Richard Blackaby explores what it means to make God’s grace a lifestyle and how it will become personal, practical, and recognizable in your life. You’ll discover: What genuine grace is and what it is not The power of life words and the devastation of death words The secret to establishing a grace-filled home How to recognize grace-giving opportunities Ways to extend grace when you don’t think you can
Unable to deny His unconditional love, or even to keep it to yourself, soon grace will have a face. And the reflection in your mirror will tell its story.
Amazing Grace,
How Sweet the Sound
It’s a living, breathing testament to the depth of God’s love. You don’t deserve it, but you’ve got it. So, what are you doing with God’s amazing grace? Many Christians sing of its sweet sound, but fail to extend it to others-missing the point entirely.
Putting a Face on Grace provides practical ways you can become a conduit of God’s grace to those around you. Dr. Richard Blackaby’s personal stories will have you nodding in agreement, laughing with empathetic understanding, and eagerly embracing a new life worth passing on. You will become the essential element that keeps God’s life-giving grace flowing.
And if you think you’re unworthy of such an honor, that’s good. That’s grace…
Story Behind the Book
Much has been said about God’s grace. Observing it, defining it, soaking it in.

Request For Divine Inspection
$16.99A Request for Divine Inspection is a courageous plea for exploratory surgery and an abandoned surrender to excise any sinful thing concealed in the recesses of the soul through repenting and forgiveness. Not only does the author expose many sins and even weights that we overlook or count as harmless, but he lays them bare and challenges us to deal with now, while it is still called today, before we stand before the all-seeing eyes of the Judge of all the earth. From his lofty appointment in God, Bishop Clifton Jones is still crying aloud and sparing not and sounding the alarm that time is not long. “Hurry!” “Get everything ready!” “The King is coming!” The theme is seek God daily for erroneous thinking that leads to sinful behavior and clear the record now that we may have continual fellowship with the lover of our souls, ultimately preparing our souls for kingdom living.

Longing To Pray
$17.99The Psalms are much more than ancient poetry. They represent, in a moving, kaleidoscopic way, a vast catalog of very real humans with an unquenchable need to relate to their Creator. In spite of experiencing a wide array of troubles, inconsistencies, and questions, these writers were indeed sants who left behind the greatest collection of prayers in the possession of our human race. Best-selling author J. Ellsworth Kalas invites readers to study with ancient experts in prayer – the people who wrote the Book of Psalms. Kalas contends that is was the quality of their friendship with God that fueled them to begin the prayerful conversations that today’s readers across the globe admire and hold dear. The psalmists do not, however, offer any secret precept or a hard set of rules for effective praying. Still, if their prayers are read carefully, their secret of “the Ultimate Friendship” can truly be discovered. Kalas helps readers start down the path of an incredible journey of stimulating, challenging conversation with God. Also includes a study guide by John D. Schroeder.

Free Of Charge
$18.99The Archbishop of Canterbury’s official book of Lenten meditations for 2006. At its heart, the Christian faith is about the giving and forgiving God. But what does God’s abundant giving mean in a world where so many are needy? And what does God’s unconditional forgiveness mean in a world in which so many are unjust, and some even outright evil? Christians are called to imitate God’s character in our own lives. Free of Charge is a rich and intimate meditation that explores these issues and helps us journey more deeply into the heart of God. It includes group discussion questions, questions for personal reflection, and prayers that help us contemplate: – How should we give when we ourselves are needy? – Should we give indiscriminately to all in need or just to those who are deserving? – Why should we forgive when forgiveness seems to make light of the transgression?

Cruciform Church : Becoming A Cross Shaped People In A Secular World (Anniversar
$19.99This new edition of The Cruciform Church finds Churches of Christ at a quite different place than they were sixteen years ago when the book was first released. On the one hand, our culture is more clearly post-modern and post-Christian. All of the Christian players today are finding themselves cultural outsiders, much like the earliest Christians. We are waking up to the reality that we are in a missionary situation in our own culture, and this is forcing us (slowly, by fits and starts) to rethink our priorities and our mission. On the other hand, Churches of Christ themselves are engaging more and more in the kind of healthy theological rethinking that this book called for back in 1990. Many congregations are shedding the sectarian or exclusivist outlook, gaining new appreciation for their heritage, refocusing on the central doctrines of the faith, and entering into serious dialogue about carrying out the mission of God in this new time…Perhaps this new edition can continue to provide stimulus and guidance as the adventure continues. Toward that end, this edition contains a new chapter, “Last(ing) Things,” that seeks to show the close relationship between eschatology and discipleship, between one’s view of the coming kingdom of God and the cruciform life.” – From Allen’s Preface to the Revised Edition

Hard To Believe
$19.99Popular perception of Jesus Christ is that of a tempered, genteel man who walked the earth, offering nuggets of wisdom to His followers. But what we sometimes fail to recognize is that although Jesus Christ offered a message of forgiveness, He also spoke challenging, demanding words about what being a follower of Christ requires. In contrast to the superficiality of much modern Christian teaching, Dr. John MacArthur serves up the unvarnished truth of what Christ taught and lived. In simple, compelling terms, he spells out what is required of those who would follow Him. Going beyond Jesus’ life to include the crucifixion and resurrection, MacArthur shows readers that Jesus modeled the commitment and loving obedience He requires of us by making the ultimate sacrifice for humankind.

Running On Empty
$17.00Until 15 years ago, Anderson was spinning his wheels in a frenetic attempt to bring others into a deep relationship with God through his work with the evangelical group Young Life, all the while allowing his busyness to sabotage any hope of enjoying his own relationship with God. An encounter with Brennan Manning (who contributes the foreword for this book) reignited Anderson’s passion for God and rerouted his spiritual journey, a journey that provides the backdrop for this uneven book. Primarily a memoir, the book weaves in encouragement for others who are plagued by both a hectic life and a shallow view of God. It’s highly readable, though repetitive in describing the obstacles to a genuinely satisfying and authentic spiritual life. But what the book suffers from most is a misleading subtitle: Contemplative Spirituality for Overachievers implies practical guidance, but there’s little here that might help overachievers incorporate contemplative practices into their lifestyle. Anderson describes a few of those practices, but others, like the foundational practice of living in the moment, are mentioned only briefly, and anecdotally at that. Now executive director of Journey Resources and a spiritual director who trains others to provide spiritual direction, Anderson is in a prime position to write a more focused book that would live up to the promise of this book’s subtitle. Let’s hope he does.

In The Meantime
$17.99Brendle, associate pastor at an evangelical megachurch in Colorado Springs, Colo., aims his first book at 20- and 30-somethings who are in limbo: they may be called by God to be pastors, or gardeners, or parents, but they need more time to mature before taking the next step. Brendle’s book is about living faithfully in the time between the call and its fulfillment. Too often, he says, we are tempted to “manhandle” God’s plans for us or forget about our call because it seems to take too long to play out. Brendle urges us instead to follow the lead of the biblical David, who was anointed by Samuel, but then had to wait on the Lord until his calling was fulfilled. The life stage to which Brendle draws our attention is important, but the book is flawed. Many readers may not have experienced the same kind of clear call that Brendle presupposes and experienced himself in his career and marriage decisions. Brendle may also one day regret lines like “Okay, wow. That was heavy. I need to take a deep breath now because I’m fired up and the veins in my neck are bulging a bit.” Perhaps he could have followed his own advice and let this book coalesce a little longer. (Dec.)

Ecstasy And Intimacy
$30.99Foreword by Eugene H. Peterson
Countering the generic “spirituality” so popular today, Edith Humphrey presents an authentic Christian spirituality that draws on Scripture and the profound riches of the Christian tradition – Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. Humphrey shows how Christian spirituality is rooted in the Trinity, in the ecstasy (“going out” of oneself) and intimacy (profound closeness with another) marking the relations between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The book embodies a banquet of excerpts from the greatest spiritual writers in history – such luminaries as St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom, Julian of Norwich, St. Teresa of Avila, the Wesley brothers, Thomas Merton, and Alexander Schmemann. Humphrey’s elegant prose, laced with stories and images from her own life, beautifully uncovers the ways in which God’s trinitarian life informs all human communion. Each chapter ends with questions for further reflection and discussion.

Clearing Season : Reflections For Lent
$14.99Cities across the world celebrate the day-before with colorful parades and over-the-top parties. Then Wednesday arrives … Sigh. Lent. has. begun.
You hear about devout friends giving up seemingly innocent things in life (like chocolate) or stressing out to live a more perfect life during six grueling weeks – for reasons you don’t completely understand. Sermons about penitence are preached, and guilt soaks the congregation.
Sound like a good time?! It’s time to rethink Lent.
Or at least see it for the positive opportunity it offers. It’s spring-cleaning for the soul! Lent offers you time to pause, consider, and renew your relationship with God – an altogether hopeful (not dreary) experience.
“To arrive at newness of life, we first name parts of our lives that are shrouded in darkness,” writes Parsons. “To put it very dramatically,… your first order of business is to break your heart for God. We walk through some muck so that we can leave it behind and find Easter joy beyond…. With God’s help we will clear the darkness away and begin to experience greater joy and newness of life.”
Sure, there’s work to be done during Lent, but it’s the gentle, gradual work of opening one’s heart and mind to grace. A Clearing Space will move you week by week from “wilderness to holy ground,” using a personal tone that will stir and challenge personal reflection.
Parsons includes exercises for small groups, as well as questions at the end of each chapter for individual reflection. Also included is an appendix of spiritual practices for Lent you may not have considered before.

To Follow You Light Of Life
$27.99Foreword by Pope John Paul II
Translated by David GlendayA little more than a year before his death, Pope John Paul II gathered his closest aides for an extended retreat at the Vatican. During this retreat Bruno Forte offered a series of meditations revolving around Jesus’ words in John 8:12: “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
Now translated by David Glenday and collected in this lovely book, these meditations draw us into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and orient us toward the mission of the church. A master of thoughtful questioning, Forte shepherds his readers through the classic Ignatian spiritual exercises: a day of purification, a day of illumination, and three days of reflection on Easter, the church, and mission.
Each day includes four meditations, two reflecting on the day’s theme followed by two careful considerations of scriptural texts. Forte concludes his meditations with questions that provoke deeper reflection on our own faith journeys.
Thoughtful, insightful, and nurturing, Forte’s book has much wisdom to offer all Christians who desire to follow more closely the “Light of life.”

Secret Of The Lord
$18.99Half of all Christian women are still trying to find a few close friends in church. They report feeling discouraged, lonely, and depressed. And 66 percent of them say that the church isn’t helping. They approach Sunday armed with a Bible and a mask of happy perfection. They find themselves asking, How can I help others be transformed when I don’t feel the transforming power of God myself? In The Secret of the Lord, Dannah Gresh tells readers it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a verse in the Bible-Psalm 25:14- that writes a prescription for the powerlessness women are experiencing. They will enjoy the adventure of a lifetime as they journey with Dannah around the world to find a place where believers experience “the Secret of the Lord”-a place where the lonely find intimacy, the distressed find joy, the lame walk, the blind receive their sight, and God’s power transforms entire communities. This message will unleash the power of God in the lives of women everywhere. Once they know the power of the Secret of the Lord, they will never look at church the same way again!
