Row For Freedom
$15.99The incredible story of one woman’s record-breaking row across the Atlantic to draw attention to human trafficking and come to terms with her own past.
In December 2011, 31-year-old Julia Immonen and four other women took on a challenge completed by fewer people than have climbed Mount Everest or gone into space: row 3,000 miles, unaided, from the Canary Islands to Barbados. Row for Freedom chronicles that journey, weaving together two narratives: the details of the grueling, peril-filled crossing that broke two world records and Julia’s own story of her search for hope and purpose against a background of relationships scarred by violence.
As Julia’s physical and emotional treks unfold, she highlights the plight of the 27 million victims of the modern-day slave trade, which serves as the motivation for her row. In addition to becoming motivated to play their own part in promoting freedom, readers will be inspired by Julia’s self-discovery and her team’s triumph in one of the most formidable physical quests ever undertaken.

Way Below The Angels
$28.99When Craig Harline set off on his two-year Mormon mission to Belgium in the 1970s, he had big dreams of doing miracles, converting the masses, and coming home a hero. What he found instead was a lot of rain and cold, one-sentence conversations with irritated people, and silly squabbles with fellow missionaries.
From being kicked — literally — out of someone’s home to getting into arguments about what God really wanted from Donny Osmond, Harline faced a range of experiences that nothing, including his own missionary training, had prepared him for. He also found a wealth of friendships with fellow Mormons as well as unconverted locals and, along the way, gained insights that would shape the rest of his life.
Part religious history, part coming-of-age story, part witty spiritual memoir, this book takes readers beyond the stereotypical white shirts and name tags to reveal just how unpredictable, funny, and poignant the missionary life can be.

Saint John 23rd
$24.93Meet the pope who transformed the Church-and the world! Angelo Roncalli won the hearts and minds of people the world over, including many non-Catholics, with his warm style and commitment to further integrate the Catholic Church and the modern world. “We are not on the earth to guard a museum,” he had once said about the Church, “but to tend a blooming garden full of life.” Roncalli introduced himself to the crowds in St. Peter’s Square on October 28, 1958 with the humble words, “I am called John.” Already 77 years old, this son of peasants was expected to oversee a merely caretaker papacy. Surprising many, he convened the Second Vatican Council in October of 1962, which would open wide the doors of the Church and change Catholic life forever, inside and outside the Church. This biography, by revered journalist Christian Feldman, reveals the spiritual heart of this remarkable, thoroughly modern and thoroughly orthodox man.

New Life In The Boarding House
$15.99The author, a husband and father of a young family, was messed up. Like many men, he was unable to talk to anyone about what was wrong-partly because he felt it would make him look weak and partly because he didn’t really know why nothing was right in his life. Anger became his fuel, controlling his life. Conflict was his daily routine. He suffered many sleepless nights, plagued by fear, worry, and buried emotional wounds. Haunted by his father’s rejection, an inner voice screamed at him, “I want a new life!”
Chilling thoughts of ending it rapped at his consciousness.
In a night of crisis, he dug out an unused Bible, leading to a startling introduction to Jesus and depositing the author on a virtual tour of a once magnificent stately home, fallen into use as a neglected, chaotic boarding house. With the Holy Spirit as his guide, he meets interesting people, learns to understand himself, and discovers that not only is it possible to have a new life-but there’s a way to get it.
As a child he heard stories of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but as an adult he didn’t think they existed and he certainly had no idea of how to find them. This book, based on daily journal accounts, describes how they found him.
And not only are they real, they still make house calls.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Message Worth Dying For
$19.98Pastor Michael and Diane Meagher released their youngest child to attend Bible College in 1996, and boarded a jetliner to begin their new lives as independent missionaries among an un-evangelized tribe in the bleakest, most unforgiving wilderness on earth. They had two dollars in their pockets, two donated airline tickets . . . and one indescribably powerful God who had called and prepared them to reach precious lost souls in north-central Siberia, Russia.
They were compelled by hearts flaming with the compassion He had instilled in them and a shared faith forged in the crucible of decades of tribulation, deliverance from myriad dangers, and the forsaking of all earthly frills and baubles that might distract them from their purpose.
They were deemed unqualified and unfit by two dozen mission boards and dismissed as crazy by casual onlookers, self-appointed counselors, and even fellow soldiers of the faith.
The odds were severely stacked against them and their enemies and detractors were legion. They had no promise of financial support, no safety net, and no sanctuary. Once they set foot on that plane, there was no turning back. To an uttermost part of the earth, they were resolved to carry a message worth dying for: this is HIStory and their story …

Ex Muslim : How One Daring Prayer To Jesus Changed A Life Forever
$19.99Jesus revealed himself to a young, brash, Pakistani Muslim. But he didn’t just reveal himself; he turned Naeem Fazal’s world upside down. Moving from Kuwait to Charleston, South Carolina, had been an adventure. Surrendering his life to Jesus Christ was actual treason. And yet, Jesus brought Fazal the most powerful peace he had ever experienced: “It filled the room. It grew roots in my heart and in my soul. It intoxicated me.” In this riveting memoir, Fazal describes how God used extraordinary means to bring a young, underachieving, Muslim immigrant through Desert Storm, across the oceans, into college, and ultimately to pastor a Christian church in North Carolina. He demonstrates that no character flaw, no distance, no cultural chasm is too great for Jesus to reach across. Fazal is candid about his shortcomings, practical about the challenges of cross-cultural engagement, and ultimately inspiring that God is capable of far more than we have grown to expect. He says, “Jesus consistently, stubbornly refuses to limit himself to my expectations. Which makes getting to know him an unfolding adventure of epic proportions.” Whether you are a Muslim, Christian, or neither, Ex-Muslim makes a compelling case that life with Jesus Christ is a true adventure.

Beer Drinkers Guide To God
$19.99It’s no accident that Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine! Written by an Episcopalian priest-slash-bar owner, this thoughtful, well-written book of spiritual essays distills lessons about the character of God from stories about adult beverages.
“Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.” -Psalm 34:8
Father Bill Miller appreciates both spirits and the Holy Spirit. As an Episcopal priest and the owner of Padre’s bar in Marfa, Texas, he understands that spiritual lessons can be drawn from everyday living as well as the finer things in life-a smoky Scotch, a robust Zinfandel, PBR in a can.
Father Bill believes that being upright does not mean you have to be uptight. In The Beer Drinker’s Guide to God, he brews up insightful, beautifully written reflections on how alcoholic beverages can reveal the true nature of God. He weaves together stories from his life in ministry, his travels in search of the world’s best Scotch, his attempts at brewing his own beer, and colorful evenings in his Texan bar. He also reflects on the lessons he’s learned from roller derby, playboy bunnies, Las Vegas, and his attempts to marry Miss Universe, all while writing about generosity, sacrifice, pilgrimage, and spiritual transformation. From the deeply touching to the laugh-out-loud funny, these stories ultimately open our minds to the glory of God and our mouths to some of his more delicious creations. The Beer Drinker’s Guide to God is a smart, earnest, hilarious book for those thirsty for God’s truth.

Then a friend saw the pictures on the refrigerator door of the two African kids Shelene’s family sponsors and she asked, “How do you know those kids are real?”

Health For All
$21.16When Dan Fountain and his wife arrived in the Congo in 1961, the challenges to effective medical missions seemed overwhelming. As the only doctor for a quarter of a million residents of the Vanga Health Zone, and with nothing but a dilapidated mission hospital and an undertrained staff to run it, Dr. Fountain turned to prayer, innovation, and local partnerships to meet the vast needs of his area.
Health for All tells the story of an ever-increasing vision-from curative care to community health, from a barely functioning hospital to a network of successful health services, from a lack of qualified workers to a local residency training program, from biomedical reductionism to whole person care, from cultural stalemate to worldview transformation. Dr. Fountain’s insights into health and wholeness have changed countless lives and communities. Part memoir, part history, part textbook, Health for All is the legacy of a man who patterned his life and labor after that of the Great Physician.

He Leadeth Me
$16.00Captured by a Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a “Vatican spy,” Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. Only through an utter reliance on God’s will did he manage to endure the extreme hardship. He tells of the courage he found in prayer–a courage that eased the loneliness, the pain, the frustration, the anguish, the fears, the despair. For, as Ciszek relates, the solace of spiritual contemplation gave him an inner serenity upon which he was able to draw amidst the “arrogance of evil” that surrounded him. Ciszek learns to accept the inhuman work in the infamous Siberian salt mines as a labor pleasing to God. And through that experice, he was able to turn the adverse forces of circumstance into a source of positive value and a means of drawing closer to the compassionate and never-forsaking Divine Spirit.
He Leadeth Me is a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God–even in their darkest hour. As the author asks, “What can ultimately trouble the soul that accepts every moment of every day as a gift from the hands of God and strives always to do his will?”

Broken Pieces : My Journey From Fear To Freedom
$18.11Minister JaNelle B. Latney, a native Washingtonian, is a member of Victorious Life of Faith Church in District Heights, Maryland. She is the mother of two, the grandmother of five and the godmother of three. Loving God and the things of God are her passion for life. She enjoys writing and over the years has written many poems, plays, short stories and songs which have been used all across this nation. Broken Pieces is her first publication to be released.
JaNelle realized that freedom was not a choice but a right for those who surrendered their lives to the Lord. Needing to be set free from chains that kept her in captivity for years, she started her journey to possess everything that was promised unto her.
She is grateful that the Lord took the broken pieces of her life and put them back together. Since gaining her freedom, God has placed a hunger within her to help restore women who have been abused, misused and tossed to the side not only by the world but also by the church. She believes time, patience and encouragement are the keys needed to break through the walls of destruction that hurtful women have in place. Extending God’s love and sharing his word are the keys to reaching those whose faith have wavered.
Her foundational scripture is Psalms 34:1 – I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Her motto is: Always remember the Lord and He will remember you. If questioned about her level of praise, her response is you don’t know the cost of the oil that’s in my alabaster box. Being whole and complete in Him, she boasts praise is what I do!

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.
