From There To Here
$16.23
Shane Facer was very active as a young child. As a teen-ager, he was very active in gymnastics and martial arts. Having his life dramatically changed in 1989 by sustaining a traumatic brain injury. He lost sight in his right eye.
His faith in God and in other people was significantly increased through his long road to recovery. After recovering to a somewhat stable level of independence and being released from the hospital, he still had many boundaries that he had to deal with, i.e. short-term memory problems and recognition of physical limitations, but the real battle came later as the effects of the brain injury caused many issues of inappropriateness and impulsivity. That is when his faith in God slowly by steadily began to increase. After many years of trying to conquer those issues, he finally began to retrain his brain to monitor itself in spite of the loss of his right frontal lobe.
Many people during his long road to recovery had tried to help him. Until he took wise counsel from others as well as applied specific scriptures from the Word of God did he begin to become a conqueror. He now lives with his wife Jennie and is very active in his church as an usher and children’s church teacher. The Lord has also blessed him with the gift to write wonderful poetry which he uses to bless others.
Shane has high hopes that his writings will help others realize that with God, nothing is impossible.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.

Simply Jesus : A New Vision Of Who He Was What He Did And Why He Matters
$15.99In Simply Jesus, bestselling author and leading Bible scholar N.T. Wright summarizes 200 years of modern Biblical scholarship and models how Christians can best retell the story of Jesus today. In a style similar to C.S. Lewis’s popular works, Wright breaks down the barriers that prevent Christians from fully engaging with the story of Jesus. For believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their faith today, and for readers of Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God, Wright’s Simply Jesus offers a provocative new picture of how to understand who Jesus was and how Christians should relate to him today.
