Yearning To Know Gods Will (Workbook)
$17.99A desire to know the will of God is, as it should be, the top priority of any serious Christian. But how are you to find out what God’s will is? Who hasn’t agonized, questioned, and then doubted and questioned again? But here is Danny Morris to the rescue with an eight-week workbook on knowing God’s will. Each weeks’ exercise begins with an account of a personal experience of the author from which he brings forth biblical, theological, and historical principles to help you in your search. As you respond, God’s will is certain to become clearer. During the first five weeks, you will learn about the nature of spiritual discernment, discernment for the individual, spiritual intuition, ways in which God communicates with believers, and discernment as a spiritual gift. In the second part, the author shifts his focus to corporate discernment; that is, discernment within and for the church, the body of Christ. At issue here is consensus: how consensus is possible, why it is difficult, and how it works in church boards and committees. Danny Morris insists that consensus is not only biblical but practical, despite skepticism on the part of those whose experience would lead them to believe that disagreement is a way of life in church. Some maintain that consensus would never work in their congregation. But the author points the way to diminish and eventually eliminate such conflict. The third part of the workbook details a workable plan for church retreat, a time away from phones and schedules, where your group will learn how to make decisions by consensus, by group discernment of the will of God for the congregation. What better way to help move forward the work of God?

Secret Communion With God
$14.99Introduction By Sherwood Wirt
Note To The Reader
Discourse I. How To Begin Every Day With God
Discourse II. How To Spend The Day With God
Discourse III. How To CLose The Day With God P. 81Additional Info
As Matthew Henry himself says,”Great is the mystery of serious godliness”; and it is the cultivation of godliness that makes up the burden of this book. The person who reads Matthew Henry without seeking to seriously examine his personal devotional life would be hard to find.
As the reader persuses the pages of this classic look at what is involved in a daily walk with God, he will encounter such pity thoughts as these: “If ever we be good for anything, it is in the morning.”
“The conclusion of every day should put us in mind of the conclusion of all our days.” “God is more willing to be prayed to, and more ready to hear prayer, than we are to pray.” “Those that touch the top of the golden scepter must be ready to tell what is their petition and what is their request.”
“God understands the language of the heart.” “Let us lie down in peace with all men.” In the secret of Communion with God, Henry tells us how to: Begin the Day with God, Spend the Day with God, Close the Day with God.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Oremos Con Cristo – (Spanish)

Jesus is the perfect model: the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13. Nonetheless, this prayer that reflects the love of God, is more than a model for us. It contains all we need to ask our Lord to accomplish his will in the church and around the world.

Saving Life Of Christ
$17.99Says Dr. V. Raymond Edman in his introduction, “Some Christians learn that the Lord can make life an adventure. Major Ian Thomas of England is one of them. The major is every inch a soldier. With his infantry battalion he served in the British Expeditionary forces in Belgium at the outset of World War II, and took part in the evacuation at Dunkirk. Often in combat he found the Lord Jesus to be his complete sufficiency. The major is likewise a soldier of the cross, faithful to the Captain of our salvation. He has found life an adventure with God and for Him, a pageant of triumph in Christ.”

Refreshingly readable and filled with rich insights, Soul Making draws together the spirituality of modern literature and elements of psychology.

Saving Life Of Christ And The Mystery Of Godliness
$19.99To help us better understand and incorporate victorious Christian living into our lives, Major W. Ian Thomas combines in one volume The Saving Life of Christ, which examines the implications of Christ’s life and death, and The Mystery of Godliness, an exploration of the fact that godliness is a mystery. “God did not die just to save us from the consequences of a bad past or past failure, but to ‘clear the decks’ for divine action in our lives.” The Saving Life of Christ contains a warning that our response to Jesus Christ will determine our condition “in the sights of God . . . redeemed or condemned.” The Mystery of Godliness offers old and new considerations about the nature of godliness in thought-provoking discussions such as How to Do the Impossible and How Much are You Worth?

In His Steps
$16.99The penetrating and provocative question “What would Jesus do?” in all of life’s complex situations, is the central theme of this book. It is the soul-stirring novel of men and women torn between their faith and the demands, compulsions, and temptations of life. Dr. Henry Maxwell, respected pastor of the First Church of Raymond, struggled with the idea that Christian discipleship demanded more than mental assent. He vowed to preface every attitude and action of his own life with the question: What would Jesus do in this situation if He were me? Electrifying his congregation with the same challenge, people responded with agreement to try it for one year. This book is the moving, dramatic story of a handful of Americans–a newspaper editor, a college president, a railroad executive, a pastor, a singer, a writer, a wealthy philanthropist–who pledge to walk in “the steps of Jesus.” At each turning point in their daily lives, they must ask: “What would Jesus do?” For decades, readers have been gripped by this narrative and have been challenged by its implications for their own lives. In His Steps is a convincing testimony to the worth and influence of Christian witness in all of life. A Christian classic every Christian should read!

Royal Way Of The Cross
$16.99It is very profitable to have realized what one is; but do not add to that weakness, which is inseparable from our human nature, an estrangement from the very means of strength. Only hearken inwardly to him and despise boldly that which is despicable.”
Above all, Francois Fenelon desired to love God. Out of this love came a desire to share the truth of a life lived in the light of the Cross. His individual writings document his desire to find truth through the love of his Creator; corporately, they comprise a masterpiece of a recorded spiritual journey.
The Royal Way of the Cross is written with an unblinking honesty that distinguishes it from the murky intellectualism that pervaded the time, and it is this truthfulness that gives this work its enduring appeal. Arrestingly written, The Royal Way is an exceptional account of a man who saw the hand of God in all things and was intimately acquainted with “the royal way of the Cross.”

4. The Life Of Brother LawrenceAdditional Info
Brother Lawrence was a man of humble beginnings who discovered the greatest secret of living in the Kingdom of God here on earth. It is the art of “practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end.” He often stated that it is God who paints Himself in the depths of our soul. We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving presence.As a humble cook, Brother Lawrence learned an important lesson through each daily chore: The time he spent in communion with the Lord should be the same, whether he was bustling around in the kitchen – with several people asking questions at the same time – or on his knees in prayer. He learned to cultivate the deep presence of God so thoroughly in his own heart that he was able to joyfully exclaim, “I am doing now what I will do for all eternity. I am
blessing God, praising Him, adoring Him, and loving Him with all my heart.”For nearly 300 years this unparalleled classic has given both blessing and instruction to those who can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout each simple day.

Green Letters : Principles Of Spiritual Growth
$14.99As the first book in a series of five on the Christian life, The Green Letters emphasizes both the doctrinal and experiential aspects of maturing in Christian living. The book is grounded in Scripture and enlivened by quotations from noted authors. “Not I, but Christ” is its theme. The author makes this arresting statement regarding the dynamics of the Christian life: “God . . . doesn’t intend to help us live the Christian life. Immaturity considers the Lord Jesus a Helper. Maturity knows Him to be life itself.” Perhaps the greatest drama in the world is the slow and subtle growth of character in the Christian. Beauty of character can be developed only through years of reflection and experience in the Word of God as the life of Christ is increasingly lived by faith. The Christian life is a healthy, robust kind of life. It advances also through trials, for in one who has faith even suffering is not wasted, but becomes a means for increasing spiritual vigor and strength.

$14.9912 Chapters
Additional Info

* How the early church discipled new Christians
* How to meet the basic needs of a growing Christian
* How to spot and train potential workers
* How to develop mature, godly leaders“True growth takes time and tears and love and patience,” Eims states. There is no instant maturity. This book examines the growth process in the life of a Christian and considers what nurture and guidance it takes to develop spiritually qualified workers in the church.

Practicing His Presence
$10.95110 Pages/29 Chapters
Additional Info
Practicing the Presence of GodIf you wish to know your Lord in a deeper way, you are invited to join the vast host of Christians who, over three centuries, have turned to this book more than any other–except the Scriptures–in order to begin that journey to the depths of Christ.
Imagine a book that is 300 years old and has never been out of print! Such is the book you hold in your hands. Other than Pilgrim’s Progress, there is probably no other piece of Christian literature that has stood the test of the centuries so well. An estimated 22 million copies of the original The Practice of the Presence of God have been printed in the English language alone. In recent years, however, interest in this book has waned as the original English edition became so outdated that it was virtually unreadable. The publishers have now revised and reissued this book under the title Practicing His Presence and the profundity, depth, and beauty of Brother Lawrence’s masterpiece lives again!
We have included in this edition, not only the letters of Brother Lawrence–from the 17th century–but also those of Frank Laubach–from the 20th century–who, like Brother Lawrence before him, wrote a series of letters chronicling his experiences in practicing the presence of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Means Freedom
$26.00Here is a book that “tells it like it is” regarding what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ in today’s world. It is a book that rigorously affirms the freedom of the Christian person, and just as rigorously refutes those who would restrict or negate this freedom in the name of Christian orthodoxy. The author, whose insights were shaped by the agonies of serving as a pastor during the Hitler years in Germany as well as by the discipline of years of careful research in the area of Christian origins, provides here a survey that gets to the heart of the New Testament message. He is ruthlessly honest with himself, with the New Testament, and with the church, as he strives passionately to show that Jesus means freedom – and that this has been so from the beginning.
Despite its roots in the experience of the German church in the decades following World War II, Kasemann’s work has a broad and enduring relevance. The crisis with which he is concerned is not uniquely that of the German church but affects Christianity throughout the world. It is his conviction that only if the church proclaims boldly the call to freedom that was the Lord’s call, and lives in that freedom, can the church remain true to its Lord and of service to humanity.
