Hidden Heroes : Transforming An Ordinary Life Into An Extraordinary Adventu
$31.23
Have you ever seen a real hero? Not the kind on television or in the movies, but the quiet kind of individual who changes lives without people even noticing. These hidden heroes dwell on the streets of compassion and on the bridges of hope. They live in the hearts of those who have love for the unlovely and a right word when everyone else is silent. Cities survive, communities continue, and families stay together because of these hidden heroes who rush in when everyone else runs out. Larry Thompson believes we all have a hero hidden inside of us.What can we learn from the hidden heroes of the Bible? What can we find out about the hero hidden inside of our own hearts? “We encounter heroes hidden in every area of life-business, community, sports. What makes someone a hero? What causes an individual to strive beyond the everyday expectations and excel? In this book, my friend Larry Thompson uncovers the secrets of Hidden Heroes from ages ago and then applies a very contemporary lesson for success in this new century.” -H.WAYNE HUIZENGA Entrepreneur and President, Huizenga Holdings, Inc. “Hidden Heroes makes me remember people that have been very important to me in my 33-year career as a head coach in the National Football League. These are people you can count on who want nothing back in return. They make as much of a contribution as those who are recognized as stars. It’s important that we find time to praise their legacy.” -DON F. SHULA Winningest Coach in the NFL (Head Coach,Miami Dolphins, 1970-1995)

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.
