Apostles Doctrine : The Foundation Of The Christian Faith
$15.49Add to cartAre you a Christian? Do you believe the Bible? If you answered, “yes” to both questions, try answering the following: What makes Christianity different from other religions? What are the foundational teachings of the Bible? Which teaching sets Christianity apart from all other religions? The Apostle Paul instructed us to study to show ourselves approved of God (2 Timothy 2:15), and Peter said we should always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks us for a reason for the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15). Establishing a firm foundation of faith is essential to our growth and survival in these last days. It is vital that new believers in Jesus know what they believe and why they believe it.

Washing Of The Word
$22.99Add to cart“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised.” (Hebrews 10:23) Many believers are familiar with the idea of confession of sins. Howerver, this biblical word “profession” or ” confession” really means to say the same thing as-it is not only a confession on sins, but also a confession of faith. By using The Washing of the Word as a daily discipline, believers can “say the same thing as” God’s Word. This book is a handbook, a tool, to be used as an aid in speaking the Scriptures. Balanced and sound confessions of living trust and faith are excerpted from every book of the Bible. As we accept the Word of God as the ruling standard of our lives, hearts-and mouths-we will experience the reality of “the washing of the Word.”

Faith Victorious : Finding Strength And Hope From Hebrews 11

And no portion of Scripture demonstrates the vitality of faith better than Hebrews 11. “This chapter is to faith what the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians is to love,” writes Richard Phillips. In this study of Hebrews 11 we find answers to some of our most pressing questions: What is faith? How do we get faith? What are its benefits? How does faith respond to life’s trials? We also enter the fascinating world of Old Testament men and women whose vision of a sure hope beyond their struggles led them to acts of great courage. Like the first audience of the Book of Hebrews, the church today faces mounting opposition – and the danger of falling away from the truth.

Questions Of Faith For Inquiring Believers
$12.95Add to cartHow do we reconcile basic Christian theology with modern life? In today’s church, more people are apt to come to church spiritually hungry, but theologically uninformed. And, Robert Cueni notes, many are no longer content with being told, “Memorize this list of what Christians believe. There will be a test.” This book addresses these concerns by posing broad philosophical questions and then presenting open-ended and non-technical introductions to many core Christian ideas such as atonement, ecclesiology, and prayer. It’s an excellent resource for new member classes, adult Sunday school curriculum, a sermon series, or for personal investigation into understanding the Bible and the faith.
Among the provocative questions Cueni explores are:
* Why Do Good People Do Bad Things?
* How Do We Live With Our Differences?
* What’s Important About Going To Church?
* Must Religion And Science Conflict?
* If Christ Is The Answer, What Is The Question? -

Caso De La Fe – (Spanish)
$16.99Add to cartIn The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief – the eight “heart” barriers to faith. The Case for Faith is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with formidable intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends. In The Case for Faith, Lee Strobel probes the most thorny of questions, what he calls “The Big Eight”, including: If there is a loving God, why does this world groan under so much suffering and evil? If God really created the universe, why does science compel so many to conclude that evolution account for life? If God is the ultimate overseer of the church, why has it been rife with hypocrisy and brutality through the ages? If God truly cares about the people he created, how could he consign so many of them to an eternity of torture in hell just because they didn’t believe the right things about him? As a seasoned journalist with Yale Law background, Strobel methodically tracks sown his leads and asks the gritty, gut-wrenching questions you would want to ask questions that can make or break the Christian faith. He refuses to patronize or offer cliched, glib answers. Instead, he pieces together heard facts trough interviews with nine of the country’s top scholars and experts. The result? Solid, persuasive, engrossing, and smart answers to your deepest questions. The Case for Faith will set you on the path to belief, renewed, restored – or discovered for the very first time.

Tree Of All Hearts
$15.00Add to cartThis collection of original contemporary parables and stories written by the authors for readers and hearers is presented with powerful wisdom and truths through the telling of stories.
Jesus was the master storyteller, and among his best-loved and most remembered words are the parables. Stories are essential for describing the Christian experience. The power of parables and stories lies in their ability to address matters of the heart in ways akin to poetry. As an aid to preaching and teaching, parables provide powerful windows to truths that can be grasped by the hearer on many levels.
The collection of parables and stories in this book addresses common themes of the Christian life: faith, fear, discipleship, discipline, death, life, salvation, and hope. Some are parables in the strict sense of the term; others are fables and genre stories. Like any good story, each will speak to the listeners at whatever level of readiness and understanding they bring to the story.
Each story includes corresponding Bible passages and a list of study questions for pondering various aspects of the story, either in personal reflection or group study.

Genetic Turning Points A Print On Demand Title
$38.99Add to cart360 Pages
Additional Info
Human genetic intervention could be considered a microcosm of the larger field of bioethics. According to James Peterson, “it raises almost all the basic issues addressed in a standard bioethics course, from informed consent to the goals of medicine.” Peterson argues that it is imperative to view human genetic intervention from an ethical framework, particularly as the technology in that intervention advances at an exponential rate.Peterson’s goal in Genetic Turning Points was to tie together some of the various questions related to human genetic intervention (better known, perhaps, as genetic manipulation or genetic engineering). He begins with a look at medical technology and moves on to major issues including genetic research, genetic testing, genetic drugs, and genetic surgery (physical manipulation of human genes in the body). The issues are raised in a progressive approach. Genetic research is the foundation for genetic testing and genetic drugs, thus issues related to genetic research are looked at first, and then issues related to genetic testing and drugs. Since genetic surgery techniques are still being perfected, and are not as available as the other technologies, Peterson looks at this vital issue last.
Christians, according to LeRoy Waters, have tended to view human genetics from one of two positions (not usually both): cosmic theology and casuistic analysis. Cosmic theology simply means looking at the grand scheme of God’s plan for humanity; casuistic analysis is that which addresses the questions of practice. Peterson hopes to bring the two positions together in a cogent and effective manner. He feels that one’s understanding of God’s plan for humanity (our purpose) shapes the concrete decisions of life (the practice). Ideally, Christians should be aware of both how purpose shapes practice and how practice questions purpose. Thus, Peterson sees the medical and ethical issues as eminently practical, but defined and shaped by one’s metaphysical beliefs.
Genetic Turning Points is laid out in a progressive manner, but topics can stand on their own. Chapters are generally short and the indexes and cross-references allow one to find a particular topic quickly and easily. Since there are fifteen chapters, the book easily lends itself to undergraduate or postgraduate study (one chapter a week), but is not solely for students. It is also for professionals (doctors, clergy, etc.) and for educated lay people. Its information is timely and it
