Touch One : How Much Is One Soul Worth To God
$23.99Add to cartTouch One is about Chris Schimel’s experience with a dropin client while Chris was pastor of a church in Northridge, California. This client was “on the edge” from stresses at his job. The counseling experience, based on a true story, lasted more than two years. Chris is forced to focus his attention upon the bizarre antics of this unique visitor, seemingly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. You will feel this strange caller’s pain as he unfolds his tragic circumstances. Chris finds himself caught in the tension between successfully growing a church and feeling compelled to help this one lost soul who keeps showing up at the most inconvenient times. But as Chris reluctantly submits to these awkward visits from this mysterious individual, God teaches him lessons about true success, big and growing ministries, and reaching the masses, as opposed to touching “the one.” Touch One is a moving story that entertains while it gently pierces the soul, changes the heart, and heals emotional wounds. Its biblical soundness is unmistakable, and the honesty it exudes will rejuvenate the spirit. This unique account of one pastor’s encounter with a troubled soul will make you laugh and cry and reevaluate many of your ideals concerning ministry. The author’s honesty and perspectives on the lessons God taught him through the experiences he shares are refreshing, uplifting, and eye opening. Other writings may broach similar ideas, but none addresses these subjects as directly and with such brutal honesty as this book does. Furthermore, Touch One is a fluid story helping to make it and the lessons it contains readable and entertaining to a wide audience beyond pastors and ministry leaders. Through the circulation of Chris’ experience, it is hoped that God might impress upon His church what His heart is concerning ministry motives. This book contains a message that is crucial for the church culture of our day.

Into The Bible Every Day 1
$28.99Add to cartWhen we really read the Bible, we see immediately that, from the beginning to the end, the narratives, stories, poems, and pericopes involve people. The special thing about these people-what we are privy to in reading about them-is that God interacted with them in various ways. God gave them commands and instructions, blessings and rebukes. Because neither God nor His love for each of us has changed, we are able to recognize in the Bible’s pages how God deals with us today. The Bible has words that will minister to us in a thousand different ways. The Bible is relevant today, just as it has been in every preceding generation. Why is this? Because we as humans created in God’s image have not changed. We have the same needs, drives, and motivations that we have always had. The Bible has words of comfort, censure, joy, encouragement, instruction, and eternal hope!

Why The 10 Commandments Matter
$19.99Add to cartDr. D. James Kennedy believes many of the social ills that plague America today-from an exponentially rising divorce rate to the violence in our schools-stem from society’s ever-increasing distance from the Ten Commandments.
In each case, obeying one or another of these ancient rules would have prevented the tragedies. And Christians, Kennedy declares, are no exception. “Sin is not only destroying individual lives and individual health, it is mercilessly bludgeoning the family in America.” Kennedy explains, “Repentance from sin is the condition on which God will hear our prayers and heal our land. How tragic that we Christians seem to have ignored that part . . . that repentance is so desperately needed today in the Church as it kneels to pray for the repentance of the nation!”
Dr. Kennedy looks at the Ten Commandments and shows how they are, in fact, a prescription for a happier life-and a guide for a safe and productive society.

Painting In The Dark
$16.99Add to cartReputation. We live to build it and prepetuate it. But tending to our image is a spiritual cul-de-sac, a relationship-draining, love-limiting, dangerously habitual way to emptiness. Performance junkies aren’t the only ones who get caught in the game; we’re all pretenders in some way. And eventually our humanness will show. We will fail, or someone will dirty our name, or our performance will fall short. When it does, then we’re left with what is truest about us. And at the botton of our circumstances, we find that truth is rarely what we thought.

Shattering Sound Of Amazing Grace
$12.95Add to cartDavid J. Schlafer, acclaimed preacher, teacher, and writer, weaves words and ideas like a Celtic braid. He places us in the company of some of the people who appear in the Gospel of John-Nicodemus, the woman at the well, the woman taken in adultery, Martha and Mary, the man born blind, the bride and groom at Cana-and examines them in two unusual sources of light:
*The classic line from C. S. Lewis: Every idea we form of God, God must, in mercy, shatter.
*John Newton’s hymn Amazing Grace .
Schlafer offers refreshment: He helps us refresh our ideas of God. He refreshes the meaning of the well-worn phrase Amazing Grace, giving it new life and urgency. He refreshes our grasp of John’s Gospel by centering on Jesus’ interpersonal encounters rather than on the famous discourses, which are too often considered only in the abstract and at the expense of the dramas John narrates. The Shattering Sound of Amazing Grace is an inspired meeting with Jesus and the people of John’s Gospel.

Secret Power
$17.99Add to cartNo Classics library is complete without work from the pen of Dwight L. Moody (1881). Moody’s The Secret Power towers as a Classic among Classics: not only lush with the beauty of eloquence, but simple and applicable to every Christian’s life. Here are the instructions for tapping into the power of God so that you can live as richly, deeply, and fully as God intends.
Moody believed that the “Secret Power”-the power of the Holy Spirit-had been too much overlooked, as though it were not practical. He wrote, “The result is lack of power in testimony and work. If we would work, ‘not as one that beateth the air,’ but to some definite purpose, we must have this power from on high. Without this power, our work will be drudgery. With it, it becomes a joyful task, a refreshing service. May God make this book a blessing to many. This is my prayer.”
