    $35.99

    This painstaking work will enlighten people on all sides of the issue, though Stanley Grenz makes no secret of his bold conclusion.

Uncover this story in the pages of Holy Habits as Mimi and her friend, Shelly Cook Volkhardt reveal how their examination of the names of God enabled them to begin living intentionally. Encounter God for yourself as they guide you to meet Him face-to-face and give you ways to make His characteristics a part of your daily patterns.

  • Let Me Be A Woman

    $7.99

    49 Chapters

    Additional Info
    We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God’s idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be.

    Elisabeth Elliot is one of Christendom’s most able and articulate writers. In this new book, Let Me Be a Woman, she couples her own observations and experiences of life with her careful, lifelong study of the Scripture. The book is subtitled “Thoughts on Womanhood for Valerie,” and is the gift of this talented mother to a daughter on the threshold of her own marriage.

    Additional Info
    Who are you?

    Many Christian women rarely, if ever, ask themselves that question. But knowing who you are as woman-and as a Christian-can make a real difference in how you see yourself and others.

    Elisabeth Elliot can help you find answers that make a difference. She suggests that the place to start is by asking not “Who am I?” but “Whose am I?” In Let Me Be a Woman, she writes candidly about what it means to be a Christian woman, and she unabashedly tackles tough issues, including subordination, the single life, self-discipline, masculinity vs. femininity, the right hand of pride, and what makes a marriage work.

    Whether you are young or not so young, single, engaged, married, or widowed, you will better understand how you fit into God’s plan, and you will come away with a wonderful sense of peace about who you really are as a Christian woman.

  • Grace Sufficient : A History Of Women In American Methodism 1760-1968

    $38.99

    Histories of women and American religion have tended to focus on women’s religious activities rather than on women’s religious lives. Studies of early American religion and spirituality have usually depended on the journals and sermons of male preachers. In order to understand the religious lives of ordinary Methodist women, Jean Miller Schmidt has looked at their diaries, letters, spiritual autobiographies, and the accounts of their pious lives and holy deaths that appeared as obituaries in publications like the Methodist Magazine. These powerful stories of faith are part of the shared history of Methodist people.

  • Duh Votions : Words Of Wisdom For The Spiritually Challenged

    $14.99

    You Don’t Have to Be Deep to Hear God’s Voice!
    It’s so simple! So simple a shallow person can understand it. What I’ve found out about God is that he is totally trustworthy, and I can relax in his plans. And besides that, all he wants is – are you ready for this? – for me to be his person. Just be his person, for heaven’s sake! All I can say to that is, Duh! Who knows? Next I may be writing a six-volume Bible commentary! – Sue Buchanan in Duh-Votions

    Meet Sue Buchanan. She says to audiences, “I may as well tell you because you’ll figure it out anyway: I’m not that deep. I’m shallow. But I’m deep for a shallow person.”

    Sue offers a merry and witty look at life from the “shallow” end of the gene pool in sixty fun devotions. From entertaining angels with chicken andaluza to listing her not-so-favorite blond jokes, from a debate on Spam vs. baloney to dramas between mothers and daughters, she’ll make you laugh . . . and think about some important lessons in life.

    This very funny lady shows us all that we don’t have to be “deep” to hear God’s voice. All we have to do is listen and we’ll find his message about love and redemption in even the smallest details of everyday life.

  • Women Of The Passion

    $16.00

    The Women of the Passion offers a completely fresh and challenging perspective on the key events in the life of Jesus and his followers, seeing them from the point of view of the women present. aaJesus’ human life begins with a young girl courageously saving yes to a startling plan. At his death, when his disciples have fled, Mary stands at the foot of the cross with her sister and friend and share in the bitter agony of it all. Distraught, but unafraid to face the Roman guard, a group of women bring anointing spices to the tomb only to find it empty… And on that wonderful Easter morning, it is to a woman that the resurrected Christ first appears. Other women are strangely affected by only the remotest encounter – the servant girl who accuses Peter on the night of Jesus’ trial and sees the piercing look that reduces the headstrong disciple to shameful weeping, Pilate’s wife who has a troubled night on Jesus’ account and begs her husband to leave well alone.aaTheir voices speak with clarity and directness down the c

  • Its Always Darkest Before The Fun Comes Up

  • Strange Woman : Power And Sex In The Bible

    $42.00

    From the Publisher: Adultery, harlotry, independence, and power. Few today would say that these are equal. But to the male-dominated, male-documented world of ancient Israel and early Christianity, a woman who asserted herself was the equivalent of a prostitute. In a world where religious law severely limited women’s opportunities, those who did use prostitution and adultery to find a form of freedom not readily available to most women were castigated for their actions. This new book from Gail Corrington examines the treatment some of these women recieved and illustrates how biblical texts often apply the term “adultery” to any independant female behavior….sexual or not.

  • I Suffer Not A Woman

    $32.00

    I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

    –1 Timothy 2:12 KJV

    This passage troubles those who desire greater leadership roles for women in ministry but who also want to remain loyal to Scripture. Did Paul forbid a woman to exercise her leadership and teaching gifts, or was he dealing with a particular error in the church?

    According to I Suffer Not a Woman, Paul was reacting to a specific problem that was sweeping churches: a myth, taught mostly by women, which later became a foundation for gnosticism. This book offers an in-depth look at the Greek text of 1 Timothy 2:11-15 in the context of the Pastoral Epistles and in its historical context. By illuminating the first-century culture of Ephesus, the Kroegers shed light on the ancient world thought patterns Paul faced and offer a responsible alternative understanding of this much debated passage.

    I Suffer Not a Woman is well documented yet easily accessible. Illustrations and photographs provide a fascinating look at the ancient world. It was previously published by Baker in 1992.

  • By Design : Gods Distinctive Calling For Women

    $22.50

    God did not make a mistake when He made men and women different. He had a distinctive plan and a distinctive purpose for each, stamping the helper design upon women at creation. This book is a joyous celebration of that profound fact. But it is more. It is a reliving cry to the church to retain one of its most valuable-and nearly forgotten-resources: its women.

    By Design is not about answering feminist arguments or exegeting biblical passages on traditional roles, submission, or headship. Instead, it is an uplifting and practical introduction to God’s wonderful design for women. It is also a challenge to women everywhere to explore the significance of your distinctives and return to your biblical calling. And it is a plea for the church to equip and mobilize you to help a hurting world and capture a culture for Christ through ministries of mercy and compassion.

    Like Susan Hunt’s previous works, Spiritual Mothering and The True Woman, this book is a strong affirmation of your value as a woman and a great resource for anyone involved in women’s ministries.

  • Caretakers Of Our Common House

    $30.99

    North American culture bombards girls and women with negative and demeaning images of their gender. It trains girls and women to “give themselves away” by overemphasizing their caring for others and underdeveloping their sense of voice and personal authority. Carol Lakey Hess asks in this book whether caring families and the church can make a difference in the outcome of our daughters’ development. Weaving together theological, psychological, and biblical sources, Hess examines how theologians of self-sacrifice thwart both the spiritual and the psychological development of women by subverting their necessary self-assertion. The importance of self-differentiation and cognitive autonomy and of caring and connection are discussed, using as illustrations biblical stories, excerpts from novels, and an in-depth look at eating disorders.

Using the stories of the “wicked” literary figures in the Bible–the wife of Potiphar, Bathshebha, Delilah and Salome–Bach argues that biblical characters have a “life” in the mind of the reader independent of the stories in which they were created. Thus, the reader becomes the site at which the texts and the cultures that produced them come together.

This book spans a broad range of geographic, ethnic, racial and denominational range of American women’s religious experiences and contributions and attempts to preverse the intregrity and diversity of their voices. In the absense of strong counterevidence, the author has assumed that American women were basically telling the truth about who they were, what they did, and why they did it.

  • Out Of The Garden

    $19.00

    As the one work that has held moral and religious sway over the Judeo-Christian tradition for thousands of years, the Bible is unsurpassed in world literature. For women, its meaning is particularly complex; traditionally, the Bible has been used to keep women in their place, but it has also been a book of enduring inspiration. Out of the Garden marks a new stage in women’s relations to the Bible: this is the first collection of essays in which women read and respond to the Bible out of pleasure and curiosity–free to explore what is really relevant to women’s lives.

    Drawing on their own experiences and interests, Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, Phyllis Trible, Rebecca Goldstein, June Jordan, Ursula K. Le Guin, and twenty-one other writers boldly, imaginatively–and sometimes reproachfully–address the Old Testament stories, characters, and poetry that mean the most to them. Thoughtful, challenging, and playful, these beautifully written essays explore the Bible in fresh new ways. Out of the Garden reclaims the Bible for women and shows readers that the Bible is a source we can return to again and again.

  • Living The Intersection

    $21.00

    Womanism and Afrocentrism are the two most influential currents in contemporary African American culture. They both heighten black cultural self-awareness, even as they deepen knowledge of its historical sources. As womanism mines the ways and wisdom of African American women for Christian theology, so Afrocentricity excavates an African past to liberate the oppressed from Eurocentric worldviews. Yet are the two compatible? What does the mostly male Afrocentric scholarship contribute to the survival, wholeness, and liberation of black women? In this volume social ethicist Cheryl Sanders and other leading womanist thinkers take the measure of the Afrocentric idea and explore the intricate relationship between Afrocentric and womanist perspectives in their lives and commitments. Their strong, frank assessments form a creative engagement of these two momentous streams.
