Flunking Sainthood : A Year Of Breaking The Sabbath, Forgetting To Pray, An
$17.99This wry memoir tackles twelve different spiritual practices in a quest to become more saintly, including fasting, fixed-hour prayer, the Jesus Prayer, gratitude, Sabbath-keeping, and generosity. Although Riess begins with great plans for success (“Really, how hard could that be?” she asks blithely at the start of her saint-making year), she finds to her growing humiliation that she is failing-not just at some of the practices, but at every single one. What emerges is a funny yet vulnerable story of the quest for spiritual perfection and the reality of spiritual failure, which turns out to be a valuable practice in and of itself.

Beyond The Cross
$13.95We all think we understand grace. It is God’s amazing forgiveness lavished on wicked, unworthy sinners who come to His cross for salvation. But what happens when the wicked, unworthy sinner is already a Christian? Is the same amazing grace as available to believers who have experienced gross moral failure as it is to unredeemed sinners? Does God really extend grace to restore broken Christians to their place in His kingdom? Beyond the Cross is the story of two such believers and their journeys from darkness back into God’s marvelous light. Their stories are living examples that God’s grace flows powerfully for all who would seek it-from both sides of the cross.

Casi En Casa – (Spanish)
$14.99“I never thought I would live to be this old.”
In this moving narrative, Billy Graham once again takes up the pen not only to share his personal experience of growing older but also teach us some important lessons on how to view our time here on Earth. He says that the Bible makes it clear that God has a specific reason for keeping us here. So what is His purpose for these years, and how can we align our lives with it? How can we not only learn to cope with the fears and struggles and growing limitations we face but actually grow stronger inwardly in the midst of these difficulties?
In what may be his most powerful message of the last decade, Billy Graham speaks to all on this side of Heaven as he covers the importance of four key areas:
Building strong foundations and understanding the gift of years
Facing life’s transitions, including the passing of years, retirement, and when loved ones die
Making wise decisions
Understanding our glorious hope“In this book I invite you to explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but the hope and fulfillment and even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from God’s point of view and discover His strength to sustain us every day. I pray that you and I may learn what it means not only to grow older, but, with God’s help, to grow older with grace.”
“Nunca pense que viviria hasta esta edad”
En esta conmovedora narracion, Billy Graham vuelve a tomar la pluma no solo para compartir su experiencia a esta edad, sino que tambien nos ensea algunas lecciones importantes sobre como ver nuestro paso aqui en la tierra. Dice que la Biblia es clara en que Dios tiene una razon especifica para tenernos aqui. Asi que cual es Su proposito para estos aos, y como podemos alinear nuestras vidas con ese proposito? Como podriamos no solo aprender a lidiar con los temores y dificultades, y con los multiples obstaculos, sino tambien a volvernos mas fuertes por dentro en medio de estas dificultades?
“En este libro te invito a explorar conmigo no solo las realidades de la vida conforme vamos envejeciendo sino tambien la esperanza y satisfaccion, e inclusive el gozo que podemos tener cuando aprendemos a ver estos aos desde la perspectiva de Dios y descubrimos Su fortaleza para sostenernos cada dia. Pido a Dios que tu y yo podamos aprender lo que significa no solo llegar a la ancianidad, sino hacerlo en la gracia de Dios”.

Simply God : Gods Messages Of Love And Encouragement
$18.60When pastors and evangelists preach, they try to convince you to change your lifestyle now. This is not their fault. They know that they have to do this. They have to get you close to God because time could be short. That is not equipping and preparing. Equipping and preparing means giving you the tools of the trade. That is living God’s Word and how to plan to do this. The Word teaches that pastors are to equip the servants. All that time convincing and not equipping is destroying God’s world. Jesus equipped and encouraged God’s children and changed the world. What is our excuse?
We need to divert all our mental and physical abilities to become like Jesus and begin to feel these changes in our bodies. We have to stop becoming people of behaviors. Over many generations, we have reacted to what we have seen and heard and to the pleasures the world has given us. We don’t look and listen to God anymore, because he doesn’t give us what we want when we want it. When the world sees this, it gives us what we want and we take it. We are not patient enough! God gives us what we need. As long as the world dangles that carrot in front of our faces, we will continue to pull that heavy, burdensome load of sin and pain. It is only by seeing and hearing what God does in this world to bless his children that will show us how his grace and greatness will tower above our fears.

Calling : How To Discover Your Calling In Three Days
$19.36I count myself fortunate and blessed. Blessed to have had and still have a father in my life. And because I was one of the fortunate ones, it was my father who loved and assisted me as I grew from a boy to a man in understanding my “purpose” and “calling” in life.
A common mistake that most people will make is, confusing a purpose for a calling or a calling for a purpose. Though the two are intertwined, they are still very much different. How so? Continue reading this book and you will soon find out. The nuggets that my dad is sharing with you, have shared with me and my brothers; I too will use to share with my own children, now that I am a dad myself.
Thank you dad for listening! Thank you for being a good example of a loving father by assisting me in truly understanding my purpose and calling as I grew from a boy to a man. Thank you for not sparing a butt whoopin’ when I needed it as a child. Thank you for not sparing hours of long sermons on life whenever I came to a crossroad. Thank you for the encouraging words when I needed the extra push. I love you dad!
In this book, my dad will share with you the same life lessons, instructions, and principles he exemplifies still-today. The Calling, is not only a book, it is literally a life manuscript on “how” a person; be it woman or man, boy or girl, can truly discover and understand their Godly divine purpose and calling in this journey called “life.” I hope this book will be as much a blessing to you as it was to me.

Prayer Of Abraham
$13.00Unlike the prayer of Jabez, the prayer of Abraham is an example of a personal prayer of faith. It can fit whatever situation you are in. In fact, the prayer of Abraham has one condition that differentiates it from all other prayers in the Bible and I believe this makes it one of the most powerful prayers you can pray.
That difference is that it must be a prayer for something you do not have, cannot attain by yourself, and is impossible without God’s intervention. When you learn to prayer like Abraham, who is the father of our faith, you will learn to vocalize your prayer, to call out loud and tell your situation to change from the way it is to the way you want it to be.
The Prayer of Abraham will bring your prayer life to a new level and cause you to have a deeper understanding of what prayer is and how to apply it to your life.

Blind Authority
$18.11While attending college and playing football, Jeff attended Fellowship of Christian Athlete meetings. Over several months he studied the old and new testament of the Bible to make a decision on Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. On April 28, 1976 Jeff acknowledged belief and faith in Jesus as his personal Messiah. As a consequence of a changing lifestyle, his parents hired professional deprogrammers and had him kidnapped on two separate occasions six years apart. The first was to attempt to convince him Jews do not become Christians. The second was to remove him from a dangerous situation. The campus bible study Jeff attended evolved into an authoritative bible cult. He left the group a couple times on his own volition, but returned. However, in the summer of 1983, during the second intervention, he was given the tools to believe in the Lord and have the courage to leave the destructive group for good. With the grace of God and prayers of many people, Jeff stood strong in his beliefs; particularly that Jesus is the Messiah.

Nurture : Give And Get What You Need To Flourish
$19.99Nurture (verb): 1. To give tender care and protection. 2. To encourage to grow, develop, thrive, and be successful.
This beautifully describes what God’s daughters so desperately need. In this heartfelt work, Lisa explains how women of all ages must awaken and restore their capacity to give and receive nurture.
The need for this indelible force is far more urgent than we know. Is it possible we are too busy surviving to assure that the vulnerable among us thrive? Are we too guarded, wounded, and afraid to open our lives to the nurture of others? What can be done to reestablish this language of the feminine heart? It is time women are healed and empowered.
If you have never experienced nurture, this is your season. Lisa’s stirring message shows you how to make these vital heart connections. We need each other’s comfort and assurance as we define ourselves, find our voice, and begin to fulfill God’s purpose on Earth.
In Lisa’s own words: “There is such a resonance in my spirit . . . this is in fact our season to grow, develop, and thrive. Heaven is passionately and purposefully reconnecting with our wounded, war-torn earth and the people who inhabit her. In this season I believe the daughters of God will prove integral agents. Nurture is not expensive-it is expansive. The life of everyone enlarges when it is added. As this happens, we will cease to merely function-we will indeed flourish.”

On The Right Track
$15.99For more than a decade, Marion Jones was hailed as the “the fastest woman on the planet.” At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, she became the first woman ever to win five medals at one Olympics. That same year, the Associated Press and ESPN named her Athlete of the Year. She was on the cover of Vogue and Time. She seemed to have it all-fame, fortune, talent, and international acclaim. Now she is a convicted felon.
The trouble started in 2003 when she lied to federal agents about her use of a performance-enhancing drug and her knowledge of a check fraud scam. In 2007, no longer able to live with the lies, she admitted the truth. In a sad end to what seemed like a storybook career, she was stripped of her medals, and her track-and-field records were wiped from the books.She was incarcerated at Carswell federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas-a prison known for its violence and abuse. While there, she kept herself in shape and her sanity intact by running on a dirt track and a treadmill in the prison’s improvised weight room. But her imprisonment was not the end for Marion Jones. In fact, it marked a new beginning. She is now using her story to change the lives of people the world over and inspire others who, like her, face obstacles that seem insurmountable.
On the Right Track is the candidly told story of how Marion came to grips with her lies and the consequences of her actions, and how she found meaning in all of it. What she tells her children and has now applied to her own life is that when you make a mistake, you admit it, you accept the consequences, you move on, you make the wrong a right. She teaches her children and others to take a break and pause before making impulsive and potentially harmful decisions.
At the heart of this book are real issues that we all face: learning to grow through pain; making decisions that will help us far into the future; overcoming failure and discouragement; and applying practical principles that point the way to personal and spiritual breakthrough.

Soul Work : Confessions Of A Part Time Monk
$17.48Sharing experiences and insights from his visits to monasteries over the years, popular speaker and university professor Randy Harris invites us into a richer, fuller life in the Spirit.
Why would a single, non-Catholic college professor want to spend his vacations at monasteries and with hermits?”Because there is so much to learn there!” writes Randy Harris. ”When I decided I wanted to learn how to pray, I sought those who had spent their lives praying. When I wanted to learn to ‘be still and know that he is God’, I sought those for whom silence is a way of life. As I sought stability and balance, I found a way of life that has endured for 1500 years. I didn’t exactly want to become a monk or hermit, but I did want to learn what they know–and it has become a life-changing journey.”
Spiritual formation has become a popular buzzword. But we might wonder what it means to be spiritual in our situations and most of us don t have time to join or visit a monastery!
With gentle humor and keen wisdom, Randy Harris shows how the monastery can come to us. More importantly, he welcomes us into that life that is rich, blessed, and joyful. The life that God intends for us. The secret of the easy yoke that Jesus promises. Sharing stories from his own walk with God and insights into Scripture, Randy invites us into a richer, fuller, and deeper life–one lived in intimate relationship with God.
