House That Jesus Built
$18.99At a time when churches seem far from God’s design, bestselling author Natalie Runion challenges us as Christians to follow the Bible’s blueprint for building holy, healthy churches that disciple holy, healthy followers of Christ.
In recent years, we’ve seen the “great resignation” in Church leadership and attendance, the devastation of spiritual abuse, and the breakdown of faith within our culture. In The House That Jesus Built, Natalie encourages all of us to recognize our role as Jesus’ disciples in rebuilding our churches, brick by brick. With personal stories and practical ideas, she guides us to:
*Be honest about past disappointments while still engaging with our church communities
*Ask how we as Christ followers have contributed to pain in our churches and how we can help heal one another
*Use the book of Acts as the blueprint for empowering the family of God to be the family of God
*Understand how even the apostles wrestled with their places in the early Church but remained committed to love God, love people, and make disciples
*Be unified on the foundation of Jesus Christ
The House That Jesus Built will stir your heart to see God’s churches realigned with the Great Commission and the Great Command. As Natalie reminds us, we are the Church. We are the ones who can partner with Jesus to build something beautiful out of the rubble–and back on the Rock.

Ecumenical Field Guide To Fresh Expressions
$18.99Learn the essentials of fresh expressions for your church.
An Ecumenical Field Guide for Fresh Expressions is a practical manual for understanding and implementing Fresh Expressions for a church in any denominational setting.
The Fresh Expressions movement is a new way of thinking about the local church and a new way of doing church as a congregation. It refers to new (fresh) iterations or types (expressions) of ministry, usually outside the confines of the church building. These iterations or types of ministries are formed intentionally but organically out in the community, where people are. They are based on shared activities or interests, where people are gathering already, and where the people are open to or interested in learning about Jesus. Christian people share their own stories of how Jesus is part of their lives. Often, these gatherings become regular and increasingly begin to adopt the practices of a church community, like worship, service, study, and giving. Thus, they become fresh expressions of the church from which they sprang.

Gardens In The Desert
$19.99Your church can thrive in this strange new world!
Many church people and leaders feel like exiles in their own land. We are facing tremendous challenges. And, just as for those who came before us, the challenges are also opportunities. If we adapt to our new environment, as people and as the body of Christ.
Gardens in the Desert offers local and denominational church leaders a practical, inspired, scripture-rooted vision for how we can do this?how we can become God’s church now for God’s intended future.
Michael Adam Beck and Ken Carter draw from Jeremiah 29 to provide wise guidance for leaders and churches seeking to adapt and thrive. Jeremiah’s imperatives resonate deeply today, compelling us to experiment, cultivate new relationships, prioritize faith-sharing with people of all ages, interact with others in humility, to “seek the wellbeing of the other,” and to move forward with confidence.
The chapters are brief and packed with practical ideas and instruction. The authors include ideas from leaders inside and outside the Church, offering multiple ways for leaders to see and understand what it means to be an adaptive leader and how to shape an adaptive church. The book is rich with lists, diagrams, illustrations, clarifying questions, and frameworks, making the material easy to grasp. It is an excellent resource to share with leadership teams at every level of the local church and in denominational settings.
Gardens in the Desert is for laity, leaders, and clergy who have been feeling lost, immobilized, powerless?as exiles?and who are ready to do something new.

What Happens Next Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$21.99What comes to mind when you think about the end times? If you are like many Christians, you might not think about it much at all. You have a carpe diem kind of faith that focuses on the here and now. Why occupy your thoughts with the “not yet” when you have enough to deal with in the “right now”? The answer is simple: because Jesus focused on the end times. A full thirty percent of his teachings in the Gospels have to do with discourses on heaven, hell, and the events that will signal the final age. So, if Jesus made the end times a priority, it only makes sense that his followers would make it a priority as well.
Perhaps one of the reasons why you don’t like to think about the end times is because you know it will involve turmoil and strife. Indeed, Jesus said the final days would be marked by events that include economic turmoil, political conflicts, ethnic tensions, persecution of Christians, famines, wars and rumors of wars, diseases, false prophets, waning faith in Jesus, and other fearful sights. Jesus declared, “All these are the beginning of birth pains” (Matthew 24:9). Labor pains increase in frequency and intensity as the delivery draws near. Jesus was speaking of a day in which the same will happen in the world.
Now, when it comes to considering these events that will signal the end of the age, you have a choice as to how you will respond. You can see these circumstances through the eyes of fear or faith. The eyes of fear see little reason for hope and ample reason for anxiety. However, the eyes of faith see history inching closer and closer to a new era that will usher in a heavenly destiny–a time when you will “reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize” (Philippians 3:14 nlt). God has told you what to expect not to scare you but to prepare you. He is like a pilot on the intercom telling the passengers about impending turbulence. A good pilot keeps his travelers informed. Your good Father does the same!
God wants you to have a deep-seated confidence that he is firmly on his throne and the future is in his hands. He has given prophecy to empower his saints with the reassurance that whatever happens in this life, he is ultimately sovereign.

Gods Gift Of Generosity
$28.00God’s Gift of Generosity is ideal for pastors who must engage in one of the most uncomfortable tasks of their role: asking people for money.
Why does generosity matter, and why should we give back to God?
Tailored specifically for pastors and lay leaders navigating the delicate task of stewardship, this insightful book transcends the mundane “how” of giving to explore the profound “why” behind our acts of generosity.
In this book Travis skillfully discusses the essence of generosity in three thought-provoking sections. Initially, he invites readers to ponder “what” generosity truly entails, painting a vivid picture of God’s boundless generosity woven throughout the entirety of Scripture. From there, he considers the “so what” question, confronting the challenges of practicing generosity today in a world consumed by materialism and acquisition. Finally, in the enlightening “now what” segment, Travis offers a practical roadmap for church leaders, equipping them with the tools and insights needed to navigate stewardship campaigns with grace and confidence.
With a blend of scholarly insight, heartfelt conviction, and practical advice, God’s Gift of Generosity serves as a beacon of wisdom and encouragement for those seeking to cultivate a spirit of generosity in their congregations, encouraging all to celebrate the timeless nature of God’s generosity and translate its profound truths into tangible, transformative actions in our contemporary world.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance.

The 1662 Book of Common Prayer: International Edition gently updates the text for contemporary use.

Flyover Church : How Jesus’ Ministry In Rural Places Is Good News Everywher
$19.99Christ is present and at work in rural communities. How do we lead from that reality?
The temptation to operate from a scarcity mindset is stronger than ever. The tensions unleashed over the past few years–which led to skepticism, breakdowns of trust, declining church attendance, and uncertainty around community ministry–continue to linger in and among our rural churches. Yet God’s loving, redemptive work is happening in all places, no matter how small or far-flung.
In Flyover Church, Brad Roth, the author of God’s Country, describes how rural ministry shares soul-deep commonalities with the church in every place. And he speaks a hopeful message into the distinct challenges–and promises–faced by rural communities. Tracing Jesus’ ministry and bountiful work among the small-town people and places in the gospel of Mark, this book offers a vision for ministry tailored to rural settings. Pastors and leaders everywhere will be encouraged to approach ministry from the reality of God’s abundance.

Now And Not Yet Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video (Student/Study Guide)
$24.99If you’ve ever waited on the Lord for something–direction, answers, resolution, strength–you know how challenging it can be. Even when we fully believe that God sees and hears our requests, if we’re honest, we sometimes view waiting as wasted time. But, what if it’s not? What if waiting is the means God uses to make us more like Christ? What if there are some pieces of God’s character that we’ll only learn while we wait?
If that’s true… how do we lean in? What lessons do these seasons hold? How do we keep hoping and believing what we know to be true?
In this six-week study, you’ll explore five biblical narratives that put God’s faithfulness to waiting people on display and help you direct your gaze from the answers you’re seeking to the God who meets you while you wait.
This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:
*The study guide itself–with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader’s guide.

Mixed Ecology : Inhabiting An Integrated Church
$26.99‘Mixed ecology’ is a term use to describe how traditional parishes co-exist with fresh expressions, church plants and pioneer ministries.
Ed Olsworth-Peter explores what an integrated mixed ecology of Church looks like in a post pandemic world. As society begins to come to terms with the cultural and financial impacts of the last couple of years, the way we meet as church and how we reach out to those within our communities needs to be reconsidered.
The Church of England’s new vision and strategy includes three priorities one of which is that ‘mixed ecology is the norm’. Much has been written about the mixed economy/ecology of Church over the last 15 years across a range of traditions and denominations, but what hasn’t been explored as such is the connectivity and dependency between different local expressions of church, and the value of ‘co-growing’ alongside one another for their mutual health and missional development. More than ever there is a need for the church to be ‘one body’ – unified yet distinctive, aware of the gift of its breadth in a ‘global’ ecosystem that together recognises and resources different expressions of church.
This book will help church leaders and worshipping communities to understand their place within the mixed ecology, the value of growing their own local ecosystem, and how to develop a physically gathered, digital and hybrid ecology of Church. Offering cultural, ecclesiological and missional insights, coupled with practical application, it draws on the voices of respected theologians, authors and church leaders in the UK and USA.

Confronting Sexism In The Church
$18.00How to Fight Sexism in the Church
Despite the real progress that has been made in recent years, women continue to be silenced, wounded, and relegated to the sidelines in our churches. Many churches-even churches that outwardly affirm and platform women-remain unaware of the patterns and cultures at play that set up unseen barriers for women.
This is a book for Christians who want to learn how to do better. Heather Matthews has experienced sexism in the church firsthand. In Confronting Sexism in the Church, she explores the history and culture of sexism in our contemporary evangelical world and describes the many ways-subtle and not so subtle-that it lives on in the church today. She gives simple, practical steps for how Christians can actively fight sexism in its many forms.
The mistreatment of women has been part of the human experience from the very beginning-but in Christ, women are set free to be all they’ve been created to be. This book invites churches to live out that reality in all its fullness.

Exodus : Bible Study – 6 Sessions
$11.99Explore events foundational to our faith in this six-session study of the book of Exodus. Israel is enslaved in Egypt, wondering whether God’s covenantal promises to Abraham will be fulfilled. Suffering under oppression and violence, Israel cries out, and God hears, remembers, and acts. Through miraculous signs and wonders, God warns Pharaoh to relent, delivers Israel through the Red Sea, and brings the people into covenant at Mount Sinai. What will be Israel’s response?
The defining events of Exodus shape Israel’s identity throughout the biblical narrative, from Joshua to Jesus. With your Bible in one hand and this study in the other, join us as we take an in-depth look at Exodus, the character of God, and the call of Israel as God’s chosen people. Discover foundational truths with the lessons of Israel: The Hebrew people were not just freed from slavery but also freed for a purpose. As Israel carried God’s presence into the world, they were called to live differently so the world would know there is a God in Israel.
The six sessions include:
1. God Hears: God cares about Israel’s oppression and the oppressed in our world.
2. God Acts: God acts and begins a rescue plan for Israel.
3. God Rescues: Israel is delivered, and God’s rescue plan begins in full.
4. God Reigns: Israel comes to the Red Sea and cries out in despair, yet Miriam is prepared to sing of God’s deliverance.
5. God Covenants: God invites Israel to become his people, betrothed to him alone.
6. God Dwells: It is not just “freedom from” slavery but “freedom for” a purpose.

Mision Cristiana En El Mundo M – (Spanish)
$22.00Jesus nos envia al mundo de la misma manera que el Padre lo envio a el. Sin embargo, aun miles de aos despues, muchos cristianos todavia no se ponen de acuerdo que incluye esto. Algunos creen que el enfoque de la mision cristiana es evangelizar y salvar almas. Otros enfatizan asuntos de justicia global o la labor de alivio y desarrollo. Acaso solo una de estas dos opiniones esta en lo correcto por si sola?
El libro clasico de John Stott presenta una perspectiva duradera e integral de la mision cristiana que se necesita aun hoy. Actualizada y ampliada por Christopher J. H. Wright, Mision cristiana en el mundo modern provee un enfoque biblico a la mision que toca las necesidades espirituales y fisicas.
Con su claridad y conviccion especial e inigualable, Stott ilustra como la misma Gran Comision no solo asume la proclamacion que produce discipulos, sino que tambien ensea obediencia a la Gran Comision de amor y servicio. Wright ha actualizado el libro original con gran destreza y asi demuestra que continua la relevancia del pensamiento presciente de Stott. Este enfoque balanceado de la mision ofrece una guia que trasciende el tiempo para que cristianos presentes y futuros adopten el modelo sin conflicto e integral del ministerio de Jesus.
