Talking In The Dark
$14.99
Nothing fazes Steve Harper in this wrangle with God. No doubt, experience, or unholy feeling is out of bounds as he explores the dark passages in life and in prayer. Yet he assures his readers that no matter how lost they may feel, they are not wanderers in life’s trackless desert, but pilgrims through prayer’s wilderness of mystery and grace.
Grounding his claims as much in theological problems as in answers, Harper takes on faith crises regarding God, humankind, and the church. His powerful stories move the reader to “dig deep wells” through prayer, trusting that Christ’s living water will flow forth to sustain them. And as for not knowing how to pray, he suggests that prayer is more like talking than breathing – natural, but in need of cultivation. And that cultivation is the church’s most neglected job.
Both challenging and invigorating, Talking in the Dark celebrates the primary virtues – and difficulties – of the prayerful life: thoroughgoing honesty in prayer and acquiescence to the radical mystery of God.

Devil At My Heels
$14.99Add to cartAthletically gifted, Louis Zamperini propelled himself from the tough streets of Southern California to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and to an NCAA mile record at USC that stood for 20 years. When war came he left the track for a B-24-a move that would have heartbreaking consequences. On a routine mission his plane crashed into the shark-infested Pacific and he would drift 2,000 miles for 47 days before being found by the Japanese. As a prisoner of war, Zamperini endured two years of horrible torture and humiliation at the hands of a psychopathic guard nicknamed “The Bird.” Yet Zamperini endured and returned home a hero.
Unfortunately, the terrible memory of his experiences haunted him. Zamperini turned to alcohol and spiraled into the depths of despair until a young preacher named Billy Graham helped him rediscover the faith that would eventually lead him to return to Japan and personally forgive all his now-imprisoned captors. Moving and unforgettable, terrifying and inspirational, Devil At My Heels is not to be missed.
