Lausanne 1974 Ralph D. Winters Writings With Responses
$19.99Lausanne ’74 chronicles Ralph D. Winter’s impact on North American mission efforts. Some would expand that globally. Many see his presentation at the Lausanne Congress as the starting point-or tipping point-of that impact. Certainly, the Lausanne stage helped catapult the idea of the “unreached” into mission planning and board rooms around the world. This book puts together Winter’s thinking leading up to and including that July day in Lausanne Switzerland and seeks to show how Winter’s own presentation impacted his work and future. It also attempts to demonstrate how the ideas were and are understood, and how they impacted our strategy for Kingdom service today. This book is a foundational reference for understanding strategic mission considerations, now and in the future.

Practicing His Presence
$10.95110 Pages/29 Chapters
Additional Info
Practicing the Presence of GodIf you wish to know your Lord in a deeper way, you are invited to join the vast host of Christians who, over three centuries, have turned to this book more than any other–except the Scriptures–in order to begin that journey to the depths of Christ.
Imagine a book that is 300 years old and has never been out of print! Such is the book you hold in your hands. Other than Pilgrim’s Progress, there is probably no other piece of Christian literature that has stood the test of the centuries so well. An estimated 22 million copies of the original The Practice of the Presence of God have been printed in the English language alone. In recent years, however, interest in this book has waned as the original English edition became so outdated that it was virtually unreadable. The publishers have now revised and reissued this book under the title Practicing His Presence and the profundity, depth, and beauty of Brother Lawrence’s masterpiece lives again!
We have included in this edition, not only the letters of Brother Lawrence–from the 17th century–but also those of Frank Laubach–from the 20th century–who, like Brother Lawrence before him, wrote a series of letters chronicling his experiences in practicing the presence of Jesus Christ.

Satan Is Alive And Well On Planet Earth
$18.99No one thinks much about the Devil anymore. In fact, words like witchcraft and black magic have a strangely medieval ring to our ears. Many people even think of Satan as somehow comic — and therefore harmless. Yet amidst the tragedy and corruption of our own century, it is ironic that many people doubt whether an active, evil force really exists. But Satan is not dead, says author Hal Lindsey; he has simply adopted a more modern style. Spiritualism, astrology, “new age” religion — all of these and more are signs of the creeping influence of the Father of Lies in our time. In this book, Hal Lindsey, well-known speaker and author of the best-selling Late Great Planet Earth, outlines a battle plan for overcoming this very real and insidious enemy. The times may change, but the conflict is as old as the Garden of Eden. Whatever happened to old What’s-his-name?

Apocalyptic A Print On Demand Title
$17.99The study of apocalyptic – the body of ancient literature dealing with the end of the world – is vital to an understanding of the New Testament. Most of us, however, know very little about the subject – and if Leon Morris is correct, much of what we think we know is wrong.
In this brief introduction to apocalyptic, Morris brings together the results of a great deal of work that has been done on the subject by himself and others. In a clear and lucid style, he addresses himself to the characteristics of apocalyptic writings, the world from which they arose, and their relation to the gospel. “Apocalyptic is not a good medium for expressing the cruciality of the cross,” Morris concludes, “and in fact it does not express it . . . We cannot understand important sections of the New Testament without some knowledge of apocalyptic. But we cannot hold that apocalyptic contains the key to the whole. . . .”

Christian Counseling And Occultism
$26.994 Parts
338 PagesAdditional Info
One of the least known aspects of the Christian life, and therefore among the least understood, is that of spiritual warfare. Most Christians are quite familiar with basic factors such as regeneration, newness of life in Christ, the Spirit filled life, the fruit of the Spirit, and the witnessing for Christ; but it seems that relatively few are familiar with the mortal combat between light and darkness, between God and Satan. In this book, “Christian Counseling And Occultism” Dr. Kurt E. Koch makes a signifigant contribution.Out of his wide pastoral and evagnelistic ministry, Dr. Koch presents the facts on satanic warfare against the people of God. With objectivity he faces the possibility of natural explanations given by psychologists and psychiatrists, and shows their insufficiency in many areas. He is deeply taught in the Scriptures and knows by experience the adequacy of the Christian’s armour: the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the Gospel, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, and in particular, the weapon of all- prayer in the Spirit.

Protestant Faith
$25.00This new edition of a standard text describes lucidly and comprehensively the “classical Protestant faith” with the help of illustrations drawn from contemproary life. It does not assume previous knowledge yet does not avoid the more complex issues in Christian theology, such as theories of the atonement or the doctrine of the trinity. In eight chapters the author explains, against many current misunderstandings, what Christians mean by faith. He deA scribes the nature of revelation and the God who has revealed himself – and what this means for an understanding of the world and the human condition in this world. This is fol lowed by an explanation of the doctrine of Christ, his human ity and divinity, and his work on behalf of the human race. Professor Forell concludes with an explanation of the work of the Holy Spirit through the church by means of word and sac rament and details the Christian hope for the coming kingdom of God. [The Protestant Faith] has a valuable appendix which makes available the universal Christian creeds and confes sional statements, and adds to its appeal as atext and ref erence manual.

Form Criticism Of The Old Testament
$19.00Because of its long oral tradition the Old Testament includes an array of different literary types and compositions. Analysis of these genres in the biblical material is known as form criticism. Gene Tucker draws on contemporary speech patterns to illustrate how the scholar pinpoints various categories or genres. The basic principles of form criticism are outlined and many biblical examples given. The story of Jacob’s struggle at the Jabbok and the prophetic literature are treated in detail. While form criticism does not solve all the interpreter’s problems, it forms an essential tool for exegesis and for recovering the living history of Old Testament literature.

Sin A Print On Demand Title
$43.99Berkouwer is known for the tone of praise and worship that runs throughout his entire theology. As he states in this volume, “The purpose of a song of praise is obviously that we should sing along and not get bogged down in extraneous and speculative problems. For the man who is mired deeply in problems can only relativize and disharmonize his song of victory.”
That statement is a key for understanding this truly remarkable book on the utterly somber and serious business of man’s sin. Joy, doxology, and biblical piety are the earmarks of Berkouwer’s discussion from cover to cover. He argues, in the light of Scripture, that there can be no meaning in the meaningless or sense in the senseless, or rationality in that which is intrinsically irrational. To say that there can be can only detract from the awfulness of sin and the magnitude of God’s forgiveness. Therefore it can only impinge upon our piety. The proper response to sin is a true confession of my guilt; for the man who truly confesses is truly forgiven. Joy and doxology find place when sin is taken with a real, very biblical seriousness.
From this vantage point the author rejects the notions of monism, dualism, and a demonological explanation for man’s sin. He wants nothing to do with a “phenomenology of evil” which sees sin as self-evident. In the light of the salvation that has come we can only speak of our sins that remain as a riddle. Berkouwer’s view is a wholesome foil to contemporary concepts that refers to man’s “estrangement,” “alienation,” and “incompacity,” and have little or nothing to say about his guilt. He eschews the language of causality, since “self-exculpation dogs the heels of any explanation for our sin.” His interests are biblical and doxological, and precisely therefore he denies the concepts of realism and federalism as developed in Reformed orthodox theology.
“Original sin” is no datum that is “with us,” and is certainly no “alien guilt”; much rather, it is known in our own involvement in sin. Nothing, not even faith, can shed a particle of light on the truly enigmatic character of evil. Thus piety and doxology unlock the door for understanding why Berkouwer rejects a number of false alternatives or problems in this book. Typical are the problems of monism and dualism, inactual and actual wills of God, the law and the gospel, cum verbo and per verbum, the wrath of God and his love, his justice and his mercy, Adam and Christ. God’s wrath is seen in the service of his
