Sometimes Love Offends
$17.49Add to cartThis book is the result of a “disturbing trend” within The Church (The body of true believers) to be increasingly molded by the world’s concept of what Christians are to be like, especially in the area of love. There is far more to love than what we read in 1st Corinthians chapter 13. By ignoring the more difficult aspects of love requiring “teaching, correction, reproof, rebuke, and training in righteousness”, as we are told The Word of God is good for, and are commanded to do in Scripture, we not only fail to love one another as Jesus loves us, but we fail to show Godly love to the world.
If we are to use scripture to define “Love”, we need to examine how God, Who is love, acts out His love; how He speaks about His love. When we ask, “what would Jesus do?” we need first to look at what Jesus did, not imagine what He would do, if we are to answer the question properly. Otherwise, we may wind up loving them into hell instead of into heaven.
This book is written to introduce some, and re-introduce others, to that full spectrum, including the more difficult aspects of love, and how we should properly use them. Love according to how God, Who is love, tells us to love, and demonstrates by His actions, what love is, and His love for us.

Rest In His Love Our Redeemer Jesus Christ
$22.99Add to cartOur faith is not about what we are DOING, but believing what God has DONE for us. Wow! Hallelujah!
When God allowed my sorrow and pain to bring me to the cross, I quietly knelt in His presence. I could not ask for the reason of my sorrow and suffering. There were no words before Him. I met a God who said that He loves me even to the death. Heaven is closer to me now than ever before. My son’s death connected me with the reality of sin and death, and led me closer to my only hope, Jesus Christ. Now, I am forgiven and have hope that will see Jesus and my son some day at a beautiful place where there is no more pain, no more tears and no more fear. Nothing can separate us from the Love of Christ.

Haiti Past Present Future
$12.00Add to cartWhen I think about what could be in the future for Haiti, my heart beats with hope. I have seen firsthand children who were born into poverty grow up through our mission and become leaders. I believe the future of Haiti is wrapped up in three specific objectives.
This first of these is its infrastructure. The country of Haiti has nothing to rebuild. We must build a new Haiti. From airports, to railroad systems, to roads and ports for shipping-Haiti must pioneer a future of mobility and commerce.
The second objective is education. More than 50% of the children in Haiti never attend school. There is no greater poverty than not knowing how to read or write. That is slavery…and it must stop! The children of Haiti deserve an education to help make a better future.
Last, but not least is the establishment of churches. Why? The church promotes values of family, community, and trust in God. With God all things are possible and there is no greater hope.
I invite you to read my blog at www.timdetellis.com where I share more long-term ideas for helping Haiti be a country of opportunity.

Like The Wind
$16.49Add to cartThis book is a collection of a journal kept by a young woman in her fight against abuse. This book will hopefully open the eyes of many people so that they are aware of the devastation that abuse can cause for generations. The abuse that occurs: stems from domestic violence to the abuse of power and ends with the loss of physical abilities and at times the loss of life. It also covers the devastations caused to innocent people because of the abuse of power. To the many survivors that are still with us and to all that have lost a loved one to this disease. We must stop/prevent this disease so that our future generations will not have to experience this horror. God did not make anyone on this earth to be abused by another. The respect for every human being should be a standard. The respect for life appears to be lost at this time and must be found again. Through prayer and education of those unaware of the things that cause these unwarranted deaths, it is time to end the vicious cycle.

It was in Him to give and so a new heart was provided for me to be able to live pain free. As I accepted the gift I was given I felt the heart beat like never before. A tear drop rolled down my cheek and I knew I was transformed. I came to find out it was new life in me. I was coming out a new person, a new being who was no longer conformed to the world but renewed, enlightened & enriched. I woke up and realized I was no longer sleeping beauty as I got the awakening. To me that was healing from the house of heaven. I was now free from heartache, no longer day dreaming but living the dream. The documentary touches on life experiences and showcases a woman’s journey as she worked to free herself from oppression rebuilding her life to make it out of the wilderness alive. It turned out to be a journey of a lifetime.

Rumbustious Faith : Uncontrollably Excuberant Unruly
$15.49Add to cartRumbustious faith is a book to encourage, provoke, motivate and inspire others to push pass their fears. Do not be afraid to confront your giants. One must realize that within each of us we have the power to triumph over our fears. There are many examples in this book of others who took the challenge and defeated their Giants (Goliaths).
Faith is an action word. Rumbustious faith is an unruly and uncontrollably act, it’s an aggressive step toward victory. A faith that will not give up. It will prevail at whatever cost. We can allow our fears to dominate us or conquer them with the help of the Lord.
My prayer is that you will pursue your greatest dreams and destiny in life. May God bless you to charge forward and accomplish your goals and conquer all fears.

I Envy Birds
$27.99Add to cartMy father, Joe B. Chapman, was shuffled from town to town during his childhood as his father followed work on the pipeline. He saw many places and met many people. Texas A&M was the college of his choice and where he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering. His education enabled him to pursue a career which enabled him to see what was once considered the far and exotic reaches of the earth. Not only did my father obtain the knowledge found in books, but he saw the mysteries of other cultures. By human standards, you could say that my dad, although not of noble birth, was influential in his field and has great wisdom. (I Corinthians 1:25-31) these verses teach us, the foolish things of the world can confound the wise. Daddy understands this truth and he has kept his eyes on the Lord and trusted in the Lord’s wisdom and guidance throughout his life. When he tells stories of his travels in the past, he does not boast of the things he has seen or done, but he boasts of what the Lord has allowed him to see and experience as well as the protection He has afforded my dad. By God’s standards, my dad is of noble birth. He is covered in the righteousness of Jesus, which makes him a joint heir in all that God has and loves to give to His children. What my dad wants you to know, and tells you through his poetry is that you too can be a child of The King. You can be redeemed and sanctified by God and you too can boast in the Lord. Written by Pamela Chapman Barrett. (Joe’s Daughter)

Into His Presence
$16.49Add to cartSo What’s It All About?
Entering into His presence!
Now and ForeverNot always but often it seems, SUFFERING becomes the pathway leading to the highest awareness of God’s presence. I have, therefore, imagined characters who endure differing degrees of challenge, sadness, or suffering.
But I pray my readers will patiently read on past the sorrow, anticipating the vicarious joy of entering into His presence with Nick, or Matt, or Timmy, or the young guilty sinner-and with all the others!
No matter the intensity of the struggle, each character discovers powerful victory in this life’s journey or transitions into ultimate victory-into the King’s eternal presence.
Oh, to catch a glimpse of Him-for now and forever!
The greatest gift I have ever received is the apprehension of just one profound truth-that life everlasting and joy unending is available at no cost to us, for King Jesus paid it all.

Glimpse Of Light
$22.99Add to cartBefore I gave my heart to Jesus Christ and received Him as my Lord and Savior,
I lived a life that reflected decisions made outside the will of God. Christianity
and salvation were the furthest thoughts from my mind, and I was happy living
for the moment. Even though my sins were not categorized by man as being
horrible sins worthy of punishment, nonetheless, in the sight of God, they were
sins worthy of His punishment and, yet, His forgiveness.
I wrote this book of poetry because I want you to know that Jesus is knocking
at the door of your heart (or someone that you know). He wants to lift you
from the darkness of sin and place you in the presence of the marvelous Light.
He wants to become the Rock of your foundation, the Head of your life, the
Redeemer of your sin, the Healer of your illness, and much, much more.
Receiving Him changed my life! Now He wants to change yours! -

Amazing Dad : Letters From William Wilberforce To His Children
$15.49Add to cartLet William Wilberforce Help You Prioritize Your Parenting!
William Wilberforce, the 19th century statesman, is famous for spearheading the drive to end slavery in England. But he was also the devoted father of six children. And because his duties often forced him to be away, he wrote numerous letters to his children.
In these letters, Wilberforce spoke about such practical matters as finances, friends, education, careers, the uncertainty of life, and their relationship with God. The principles he taught ring as true today as they did then.
By “looking in” on this correspondence, we can see the kinds of values to instill in our own kids. And we can find encouragement to become as proactive in parenting as Wilberforce remained throughout his life.
