Called : The Crisis And Promise Of Following Jesus Today
$18.99The most urgent call upon God’s people is to live as followers of Jesus.
The most indicting critique against the church is as simple: its failure to do so.
Author Mark Labberton writes, “People ask many questions about how their lives relate to the world. What are our lives in this world about? What are we to make of being human? Why are we here? Is there a reason we are alive, and, if so, how would we know what that is? These questions are brought on at times by beauty and joy, but also by the daunting facts of our own lives or of the world around us. We look around in doubt, in pain, in suffering. These are human questions asked throughout history by those inside and outside the church.”
We long to renew our hope for a world broken and hurting. And it is we, God’s people living in the power of the Holy Spirit, who are called to become this hope and flourish while in exile. Here is the crisis: we are made and redeemed for this calling, but it slides through our fingers. Here is the promise: living and practicing who and why we are is our Christian vocation whenever and wherever we may be.

Mid Faith Crisis
$18.00Navigating the Storm: Understanding the Crisis of Faith
Many of us embarked on our spiritual journeys filled with hope and certainty, only to find ourselves questioning the very foundation of our beliefs as life unfolded. The faith that once seemed unshakeable may falter in the face of broken trust, unanswered prayers, and the harsh realities of worldly suffering. But you’re not alone-mid-faith crises are a shared human experience that can feel isolating yet are a crucial part of our spiritual journey.
In Mid-Faith Crisis, authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague provide a compassionate exploration of this challenging phase. With backgrounds in theology and personal narratives of their own spiritual upheavals, they guide readers through the complex landscape of doubt and disillusionment. Mid-Faith Crisis candidly addresses the often-unspoken realities of faith’s evolution, offering solace and practical insights for navigating through turbulent waters.
Through storytelling and reflection, McNiel and Hague offer practices and disciplines that help reclaim what is genuine and discard what is not. They reassure us that the crisis of faith is not an endpoint but a transformative stage that can lead to a more sincere and robust belief system. If you’re in the midst of a spiritual reevaluation, Mid-Faith Crisis will serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that while the road may be rocky, the destination holds the promise of deeper faith and connection.

Along the Shoreline
$17.99After publishing my last book, I soon found myself writing a significant amount of material again. What took shape from this writing has developed into my fourth book of poetry, Along the Shoreline. Along the Shoreline is filled with over one hundred pages of memorable, moving poetry, including “Ancient Paths,” “A Tapestry,” “Moments by the Sea,” and “Sunset Sky.” Among the wide range of subjects and poetic forms in this book, Along the Shoreline explores perspectives on life, nature, biblical faith, love, and so much more. I’ve also included some narrative poems (i.e. “Concrete Forest”), historic fiction poetry (like “Civil War” and “Native American”), and a few sequels to poems from my last book. As with all of my books, I’ve put forth my absolute best work to create art that will resonate with anyone from the casual reader to those who really love poetry. My hope and prayer is that Along the Shoreline will be an inspiration to people everywhere.

Time and Tide
$14.99Writing poetry has always been a passion for me. I started writing in my early 20’s and gradually began to find that it was a literary art form to which I sensed a strong calling. So many moments, years, and stages of my life have come and gone since those early days as a writer. Authoring this book has been an incredible journey, one to which God has continually drawn me for decades. I want to thank my amazing wife, Stephanie, and my three kids for their patience with me, as I’ve finished this book over the past summer. I want to thank my wonderful parents and my two brothers for their encouragement through the years. A big thank you also goes to David Clay and Ruth O’Neil. I hope this collection of poems finds a place in the heart of those who love poetry, as well as anyone who casually picks it up to read. My deepest prayer is that God will use this book to impact readers for His purposes and for His glory.

Beyond the Sky and Sea
$16.99Writing Beyond the Sky and Sea has been an incredible journey…painting pictures of life and the world around us through the art form of poetry. During the writing of this collection of poetry, there was, as T.S. Eliot once wrote, “time… for a hundred visions and revisions…,” until, eventually, I simply had to let what will be…be. I hope that this book will not only be captivating and inspirational, but that it will further my vision of making poetry more enjoyable and fascinating for people today. In this compelling collection of new poetry, I’ve drawn from the inspiration of the natural world, scenes by the ocean, biblical narratives, love, and the moments and memories of life to write a book that I believe will resonate with all types of readers. Beyond the Sky and Sea features many memorable poems, such as “Beyond the Sands of Time,” “Cancun,” “Flights of Seagulls,” “Now, Somehow,” and “Visions,” as well as a variety of poetic forms (like narratives, sonnets, dizain poems, and Eastern poetry). I have also included “Obscured View, Pt. 2” and “pool, pt. 2,” which are sequels to poems from my last book, Reflections on the Water. I’d like to express immense gratitude to all of my family, friends, my kids, and my wife, Stephanie, for all of your love and support. I’d also like to send special thanks to Ruth O’Neil. Thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy of any of my books. Most of all, thanks to God for His grace and continued inspiration to write and publish books.

5 Mere Christians
$24.99Experience the riveting true stories of five men and women who changed the world by following Christ in their careers–and discover practical applications for how you can, too.
Do you ever wonder what it means to truly glorify God in your work if you’re not a pastor, missionary, or religious professional?
Rather than offering theological exposition to answer that question, Jordan Raynor and Kaleigh Cox use vivid, fast-paced storytelling to present the captivating lives of five “mere Christians” who will show you what it looks like to follow Christ wherever you live and work:
Fred Rogers, the TV host from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, demonstrates how your selfless service of others can reveal glimpses of heaven on earth.
Fannie Lou Hamer, the courageous civil rights activist, models how to pursue justice without hating the unjust.
Ole Kirk Christiansen, the founder of LEGO, shows how to persevere through life’s most difficult trials and find God’s purpose in play.
Hannah More, the audacious poet largely credited for abolishing slavery throughout the British Empire, exemplifies how to change the world through culture and not just politics.
C.S. Lewis, the literature professor and bestselling author of The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity, invites you to embrace your unique opportunities to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples.
Unlike typical biographies that get bogged down in boring detail, each story in this collection is mercifully short, extremely entertaining, and profoundly helpful–providing clear takeaways for modern-day mere Christians looking to glorify God in their own everyday work.

Remember Heaven : Meditations On The World To Come For Life In The Meantime
$17.99How the Hope of Heaven Shapes Our Lives as Christians in the Meantime
What we expect from our future has tremendous power over our experience in the meantime–that’s why the Bible places the hope of heaven at the center of the Christian life. But even if we affirm the reality of our heavenly future, we often struggle to long for heaven, much less to connect the promises of the world to come to the concrete details of life in this world as it is. If and when we think about heaven at all, it’s easy to think of it like an insurance policy that will be there when we need it. But the Bible defines our future hope as an inheritance–a trust fund that is certain, inexhaustible, and freely accessible here and now.
In this book, Matthew McCullough offers a series of meditations that model how to draw on the hope of heaven for everyday life in the meantime. Chapters connect specific struggles of life in this world–from dissatisfaction and inadequacy to anxiety, grief, indwelling sin and more–to specific promises of the world to come. Drawing on insights from Christian writers of the past, McCullough shows how the Bible uses the hope of heaven to help us now.
*Offers Hope: Helps readers deal with feelings of loneliness, inadequacy, grief, and dissatisfaction to curate a healthy life perspective around God’s promises
*Biblical and Practical: Engaging meditations offer Christians applicable advice for living joyfully in light of the inheritance that awaits them in heaven
*From the Gospel Coalition: This accessible book makes a great gift for students, pastors, and Christians of every age

When The Stones Speak
$30.00This is the untold story of the rediscovery of the ancient City of David in Jerusalem and the powerful evidence that proves the Jewish people’s historical and indigenous connection to the Holy Land.
Since the founding of Israel in 1948, the Jewish people have faced nine wars against multiple enemies. Yet, beyond the physical conflicts, a deeper ideological battle has been waged against Israel and the Jewish people. This war, crafted by certain Arab leaders and echoed by international organizations like the United Nations, seeks to erase the Jewish people’s ancestral ties to the land, casting them as outsiders, imposters, and “settlers.”
One thing, however, stands in the way of the denialists: the 3,800-year history of the City of David, a site lying just south of the Old City. Archeologists at the site are unearthing evidence that proves the Jewish people’s origin story in the land for over three millennia. Every shovel of dirt reveals that while others may claim to be indigenous to Jerusalem, the Jewish people are, in fact, more indigenous to the Land of Israel than perhaps any other group living anywhere in the world.
This is the timely story of those who transformed City of David from a neglected hilltop village into one of the most important archeological heritage sites in the world, while facing powerful global institutions and terror groups that would do almost anything to keep this truth hidden. Highly relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this book foreshadows the events and historical denialism that unfolded with Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Gardin Wedding
$17.00One of the Gardin women must navigate a season rich with unexpected challenges in the follow-up to The Gardins of Edin, a heartwarming story about love, forgiveness, new beginnings, and what it takes to get there.
Martha Gardin is a mess, and no one knows this better than the women in her family. Good-hearted but often misguided by distrust and insecurity, Martha is known for stirring up drama. That’s why Ruth, Naomi, and Mary are pleasantly surprised when Martha mellows out after she begins dating one of the most eligible bachelors in town.
Handsome, well-connected Oji Greenwald is everything Martha hoped to find in a man, and it’s only a matter of time before he pops the question. Rarely caught off guard, Martha is accustomed to getting her way. But when it appears she’s finally about to have the life she’s always wanted, a crisis in Oji’s family brings out Martha’s tendency to try to save the day her way, and the divide deepens between her and Oji’s already indifferent mother, Eve.
Confronted with these unforeseen challenges to her plans, Martha finds herself on a journey that forces her to fully acknowledge her previous mistakes and reconcile her past. But will it be enough to deliver her the future-and the love-her heart desires?

Virtues Of The Saints
$29.95Besides the graces of the Sacraments, God has another way for us to grow in faith from a mustard seed into a giant tree. And that way is a life of virtue. A virtue is a habit, something that must be practiced daily if it is to increase. At our Baptism, we received the virtues of faith, hope, and love. In this children’s book, authors Patrick O’Hearn and Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, with beautiful illustrations by Adalee Hude, describe 15 of the most important virtues for boys and girls. We begin by defining the virtue. Next, we provide that virtue’s root meaning followed by an example showing how one saint, from Our Lady and St. Joseph to St. Kateri Tekawitha and St. Carlo Acutis, and many more, lived out that virtue. Finally, we conclude with a prayer for that virtue. The best thing we can ask from the saints is a share in their virtues! May these holy men and women inspire you, your children, and your grandchildren to begin practicing the virtues of humility, justice, faith, hope, love, fortitude, generosity, gratitude, meekness, patience, perseverance, piety, prudence, spiritual joy, and temperance. Color illustrations throughout.

Chosen Book Five 40 Days With Jesus
$16.99You are called to surrender.
Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Unfortunately, we live in a world that values personal feelings and desires more than objective truth. We’ve even changed our vernacular to accommodate our self-centeredness and ever-evolving relationship with the truth by calling it “my truth,” as though truth changes depending on the person claiming to know it.
But when it comes to following Jesus–the One who called Himself the Truth–we don’t get to curate our beliefs about who He is or what He taught based on what we’re comfortable with.
In The Chosen – Book Five, you’ll be challenged to surrender to the harder teachings of Jesus. Together, may we endure His words with ears that hear. May we be soberminded. And may we hold fast to the Truth, no matter how unpopular His teachings have become.

IVF Is Not The Way
$18.95In a May 2024 Pew poll, more than two-thirds of Americans indicated they thought that IVF (in vitro fertilization) is good and should be accessible to anyone who wants it. Even among social conservatives – including the current U.S. administration – there is a push for wider accessibility for artificial procreation options. But is IVF truly the gift for infertile couples that it’s perceived to be?
In this thoughtful, eminently readable guide, Stacy Trasancos examines the issues associated with IVF through scientific, philosophical, and theological lenses and traces the history of artificial procreation and the developments of moral teachings to reveal syllogistically why IVF is not the “way of life.”
Drawing from her own research into the development of this teaching and the testimonies of those who have used or considered IVF, Dr. Trasancos addresses the concerns and ethical considerations related to IVF from an interdisciplinary perspective. She answers a range of pivotal questions, including:
*How can IVF be opposed to human dignity if it allows couples to bear new life?
*How are children conceived through IVF impacted by this decision?
*What do we as a society do about all the embryos in cryogenic storage?
*What are the Five Principles of Human Life?
*Why exactly does the Church oppose IVF?
*What rights do human embryos possess?
*How do we love embryonic children?Through riveting case studies, Dr. Trasancos also deepens our understanding of the cross of infertility and, in doing so, provides those who long for a child with a reassuring supernatural perspective that God will always provide us with exactly the gifts we need most. Throughout these pages, seemingly pulled from today’s headlines, Dr. Trasancos reminds us, with both candor and sensitivity, of the fundamental truth that children are a gift and that every human has a right to be loved.

I Killed Maria Goretti
$18.95“I know I am not worthy of her help, yet she is to me in my darkness of sin what the bright and shining star is to the mariner, for her pardon gives me hope.” – Alessandro Serenelli
Through vivid storytelling, this historical account reveals the disturbing influences and grim motives that possessed Alessandro Serenelli, St. Maria Goretti’s murderer. Yet it is much more than a chilling tale; this true narrative is a testament of transformation and redemption – God’s mercy shining forth through the most seemingly hopeless of situations.
Just as great literature and spiritual writing have the power to transform the soul and spur it on to heroic deeds, the force of immoral prose can corrupt and even drive the soul to unspeakable deeds. In part 1 of this book, Pietro Di Donato chronicles Serenelli’s early life and addiction to licentious and anarchical publications. In part 2, Serenelli’s harrowing journey unfolds, culminating in his crime against Maria, the young girl who chose purity and forgiveness over despair. This stunning story brings to life Serenelli’s long imprisonment, his struggles with guilt, and the redemption he experienced through Maria’s saintly intercession.
In the gripping pages of this classic, you will find:
*How unchecked passions and sins of the mind often lead to sins of the flesh
*Reminders that the light of grace is ever present, especially in your darkest moments
*Heroic forgiveness, even from Maria’s family, for Alessandro’s heinous crime
*The healing power of God’s infinite mercy, even for the most hardened sinners
*How the intercession of a saint in your life can help you attain salvationAlessandro’s story is not just a reflection on his ultimate repentance but an inspiring witness to the power of faith and the redemptive love of Christ. Ideal for those seeking conversion, spiritual renewal, or a deeper understanding of reconciliation, this narrative is a beacon of hope for believers and nonbelievers alike??.
In constructing this searing account, Di Donato recounts his meetings with St. Maria’s sister Ersilia, friars who lived with Serenelli during the later part of his life, and Serenelli himself. Discussion questions are also included for personal and group reflection.

Whole : Spirit, Soul, Mind, Body
$19.95“This book is a result of one of those beautiful exchanges between God and myself where He’s doing all the talking, and I’m just listening and getting excited by what I’m hearing. It was so fun when, in my spirit, I heard, “Whole.” That was it. And then there was a picture of a perfect silver apple. Somehow, I knew exactly what He meant! God wanted to do a work for the women of our church, bringing them into an experience and position of truly being whole. The apple represented what happened in the Garden when Eve ate of the forbidden fruit. And the picture of the apple as I saw it now was perfect-complete and restored. Whole. That represents exactly what Jesus has done by His death and resurrection. He has restored us to our original standing with God, and it’s a perfect work! He wants to use this book to take you on that journey of complete restoration. Whole: spirit, soul, mind, and body.” Sam Evans, author.

Nevertheless : American Methodists And Women’s Rights
$16.992020 marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. While some things have changed, others haven’t.
This book tells the story of American Methodist women’s efforts fight for women’s rights, beginning with the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and ending with the #MeToo movement. Each chapter documents particular Methodist women and provides the reader with a basic historic context of the time or situation at hand as it shows how Methodist women engaged and fought for women’s equality or women’s rights in American society and American Methodism. The faith of these Methodist women emboldened them to reach beyond their social confines to find political avenues of social justice. As women engaged in mission, they sought to not simply fix social ills but to prevent them from happening again. They addressed the causes of oppression; and by stepping out of their place, made a place for others.

Entangled : A History Of American Methodism, Politics, And Sexuality
$39.99The United Methodist impasse over human sexuality has its roots in two dichotomous ideologies of history and theology.
This book maps how American Methodists have responded to sexual change since World War II. It argues that the current United Methodist impasse over human sexuality has its root in the existence of two dichotomous ideologies of Methodist history and theology–one liberal and one evangelical, which come to the foreground in discussions of human sexuality. It offers evidence about how these ideologies have sought to reconcile their sexual ethic with sexual change since the birth control movement of the 1920s. In post-WWII America, most Methodists upheld a limited notion of family life and sexuality, one that allowed for the use of artificial contraception within marriage and for divorce. In response to the sexual revolution, liberal-leaning Methodists upheld a new sexual ethic, “the new morality,” which peaked with radical new approaches to sex education, a full endorsement of abortion rights, and support of the homophile movement. However, “the new morality” coincided with an increased presence of and a new voice for evangelical Methodists, Charles Keysor and the Good News Movement. Evangelical Methodists critiqued “the new morality” as value-neutral and anti-Scripture. The evangelical desire for a rules-based morality solely reliant on Scripture collided with “the new morality” and led to intense debates over sex education, abortion, and the inclusion of LGBTQ persons within the United Methodist denomination from the 1970s onward. Since 1972, United Methodists have continually debated “human sexuality” at each General Conference, primarily through the advocacy efforts of political caucus groups. This author hopes that an historical examination of how Methodists have confronted sexual change will enlighten current conversations about human sexuality.

Homeschooling : You’re Doing It Right Just By Doing It

– equips parents with the confidence and tools they need to give their children the education they dream of and deserveDuring the past five years, homeschooling rates have been on the rise and show no signs of slowing.

– teaching self-reliance
– offering freedom

For digital content creator Cretia Martin, home is wherever her carry-on suitcase lands. And it’s constantly landing in new places as she travels the world.

Understanding The Sacraments
$16.95Why is the Catholic Church different from any other church? First, the Catholic Church is the only church founded by Jesus Christ Himself. All other Christian churches were founded by an ordinary man or woman. Second, the seven Sacraments. These are not just symbols but God’s guaranteed grace. They are Biblical, as they were instituted by Christ and entrusted to His Church. It is Christ Who acts and communicates His grace through Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation (Confession), Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders (Ordination), and Matrimony. In his engaging style, Fr. Chris Alar, host of the popular “Explaining the Faith” online talks, takes us “back to seminary” for a refresher course on what all Catholics should have learned. He answers such questions as, Why do we baptize infants? Where is Confession in the Bible? Is my marriage valid? And many more. “As St. Thomas Aquinas taught, ‘You cannot love what you do not know, ‘” Fr. Chris says. “I hope you will come to love your Catholic Faith more deeply, in a way that will change your life! And if you have already learned about the Sacraments, I believe this book may be a good review and a source of some new information. Let’s get started!”

Love Is A Journey
$51.42Love is a Journey is the remarkable story of Albino Luciani, known to the world as Pope John Paul I, from his harrowing birth to his tragic death just 33 days into his 1978 pontificate–the shortest pontificate in history. After years of dedicated archival research, and after interviewing dozens of figures in the Catholic hierarchy, as well as Pope John Paul I’s niece, author Mo Guernon explores Luciani’s family history, personality, and character to reveal the very essence of the man who became known as the Smiling Pope. Guernon analyzes Luciani’s major public pronouncements and his most significant writings, which shed considerable light on his fundamental beliefs and worldview. In the concluding chapters of the book Guernon assesses Pope John Paul I’s legacy and journey toward sainthood–and the beguiling question of how the Catholic Church might have evolved had his pontificate endured through the 1980s and beyond.
The events of Luciani’s life are so compelling, so remarkable, so fast moving, that the narrative reads like a novel. Guernon paints a multi-dimensional portrait of the man that prominently displays his virtues and shortcomings, successes and failures, heroic deeds and personal doubts about his own courage. He highlights Luciani’s progressive views of issues of his time, the crises in his personal and priestly life, his discomfort with the spotlight and his anxiety about succeeding the popular Pope Paul VI, the relative simplicity of his inauguration as pope, and the unprecedented power he wielded on those with whom he came into contact both personally and through the mass media. Above all, Guernon attempts to capture the pope’s mysterious ability to engender love among people of all faiths, and nonbelievers too, with his inimitable humility and almost divine smile. A striking example of his influence came from punk rocker Patti Smith, who was so enamored of Luciani that she wrote a song about the pope and dedicated her 1979 album, Wave, to him.
Pope John Paul I’s impact on the world during his 33-day pontificate was simultaneously profound and perplexing–and, until now, underappreciated. In little more than a month, the Luciani dazzled people of all ages, races, and nations while modernizing the papacy and establishing an ambitious agenda for promoting peace and dialogue among all peoples, a program subsequently carried out by his successors, particularly Pope Francis. And in fact Pope Francis established the Vatican Pope John Paul

They Like Jesus But Not The Church
$19.99Many people today, especially among emerging generations, don’t resonate with the church and organized Christianity. Some are leaving the church and others were never part of the church in the first place. Sometimes it’s because of misperceptions about the church. Yet often they are still spiritually open and fascinated with Jesus. This is a ministry resource book exploring six of the most common objects and misunderstandings emerging generations have about the church and Christianity. The objections come from conversations and interviews the church has had with unchurched twenty and thirty-somethings at coffee houses. Each chapter raises the objection using a conversational approach, provides the biblical answers to that objection, gives examples of how churches are addressing this objection, and concludes with follow-through projection suggestions, discussion questions, and resource listings.
