$4.99It is hard to be grateful when you are looking into the jaws of mind-bending pain. Chronic illness, a heart attack, a terrible car accident, caring for a developmentally disabled child, facing betrayal and loneliness.

You want to give up.
The topics of fear and hopelessness, depression and suffering, loneliness and worry are issues that author, Joni Eareckson Tada, can speak to personally: A diving accident in 1967, when she was 17, left her a quadriplegic.

She has taken her most important insights on thankfulness and joy and encapsulated them into this 14-page pamphlet. Whether you or a loved one is suffering. This pamphlet will bring you comfort.

Thinking Loving Doing
$15.99This compilation equips and challenges us to love God and others with heart and mind and hands.The Christian life is more than thinking-but not less. And it’s more than feeling-but not less. It’s more than doing as well-but never less. Healthy followers of Jesus engage their minds, hearts, and hands in glorifying him.This volume, built on the 2010 Desiring God National Conference and John Piper’s recent book Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God argues that thinking and the affections of the heart are inseparable. Our emotions fuel our thoughts for God. Likewise, hard thinking about God leads to deeper joy in our relationship with him. And both, in turn, help us focus outward as we express a greater love for others.Contributions by Rick Warren, Francis Chan, John Piper, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, and Thabiti Anyabwile bring a wealth of perspective and experience in calling for readers to love God and others with heart and mind and hands.

Think Christianly : Looking At The Intersection Of Faith And Culture
$16.99Think Christianly is about seizing the opportunities we have every day to speak the life Jesus offers into our culture. Tragically, many such opportunities pass us by unclaimed—either because we don’t notice them or we have not prepared ourselves to enter into them. And those around us seem to grow increasingly unwilling to hear anything the church has to say.
Jonathan Morrow helps church leaders envision and implement ways for their congregations to ‘think Christianly’ about contemporary questions and to speak in informed, engaging ways. Morrow explores many of the important issues that Christians often hear raised with regard to faith—questions about who Jesus was, the good and bad of religion, pain and evil in the world, the reliability of the Bible, sexuality and intimate relationships, and hope for change, among others.The life and faith issues that Think Christianly addresses lead to cultural moments where Christianity and contemporary culture intersect. This book will help churches take vital steps toward cultivating compassion and competence in speaking faithfully to a questioning world.

Love Sex And Happily Ever After
$14.99What do you do if you want a marriage that doesn’t just survive, but thrives? That doesn’t just begin romantically but ends magnificently?
Answer: You do something different.
You’ve seen marriages fail time and again. Even relationships you thought were bullet proof don’t last-or maybe worse-fade away to a cold, gray lovelessness. It’s no wonder that for today’s generation, “getting what you want” is often a substitute for love, and disillusionment about marriage is the new normal.
But you can have a long-term, love-blessed marriage. Whether you’re still considering it, are about to be wed, or have been married for a while and want to make changes, Love, Sex & Happily Ever After delivers an infusion of hope. Author Craig Groeschel clearly and honestly lays out the choices and commitments you can make now to change the way you think and act-to build the relationship you want for the rest of your life.
With an invigorating mix of personal story, practical guidance and biblical truth, Craig invites you into a candid conversation about first dates, sex, communication, integrity, forgiveness, and commitment. Along the way, he shows how you can build a soul-enriching, God-honoring relationship with the one you love…and believe together again in your very own “happily ever after.”

Lords Prayer : Jesus Teaches Us How To Pray
$16.00Those who pray the Lord’s Prayer from their heart in the spirit of the prayer will find a deeper relationship with God, promises Mary Lou Redding in this 6-week study of Jesus’ model prayer. And those who wonder how to pray can take comfort from the fact that even Jesus’ disciples were puzzled about prayer. The Lord’s Prayer was Jesus’ response to a disciple who asked him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”
So what sets Mary Lou Redding’s book apart from the many books that have been written on the Lord’s Prayer? First, it examines each phrase of the Lord’s Prayer and explores how we can use this ancient prayer as a model for deepening our prayer today. Second, in this practical study, Redding shares candidly from her own prayer life. Her warm, encouraging tone helps readers feel “I can do this.”

Spiritual Formation : Ever Forming Never Formed
$20.00In our ongoing battle against sin in our life as believers, we need all the help we can get. Spiritual Formation: Ever Forming, Never Formed is a breath of fresh air in this fight, setting out biblical foundations and offering practical advice.
Spiritual Formation both humbles triumphalistic Christians and gives much needed hope to defeated Christians. Simplistic evangelicals often think of sin as a problem for unbelievers, and yet reality clearly points to the looming presence of indwelling sin in the life of the Christian and its deadly impact on the church. By not fully admitting and openly addressing chronic sin problems, believers deceive themselves and the world that looks on, doing harm to all through this hypocrisy. Spiritual Formation is a scalpel to cut away tumors of ignorance, avoidance, and pride, creating honest believers who then will be an authentic witness to a hurting world.

You Can Change
$15.99It’s about heart change, not behavior change. That’s the conviction of Tim Chester as he seeks to help everyday Christians “connect the truth about God with our Monday-morning struggles.” This interactive book, laid out in workbook fashion, is for newer Christians struggling with sin and for more mature Christians who have plateaued in their faith as they seek to find victory over sin in their lives.
With a conviction that sanctification is God’s work and the journey to holiness is joyful, Chester guides readers through a “change project”-beginning with the selection of one area of life they would like to modify. Each chapter includes a question (e.g., Why would you like to change? What truths do you need to turn to?) to guide readers as they deal with a specific sin or struggle, truths from God’s word, and a reflection guide to help readers through their change project.

Forgotten God : Reversing Our Tragic Neglect Of The Holy Spirit
$14.99A follow up to the profound message of Crazy Love, Pastor Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and … the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit-the Helper-so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church has admired the gift but neglected to open it.
Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church’s power-the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan’s invitation to stop and remember the One we’ve forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.

They’re talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming.

Imagine your life, wholly untouched by anger. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, and doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, when you could trust more and fear less. Can you imagine your life without fear?

Be Ye Transformed
$19.95What is the Mind of Christ? What does it do and how does it work? What are the “hidden chambers” of the Temple, and how do they relate to our own inward, secret part?
Exploring these and other critical issues, Chuck and Nancy have written a practical handbook for those who are serious about identifying the Will of God in their lives–being transformed into Christ’s Image (by the renewing of their minds). Without this transformation, we will simply be conformed to the world’s image and not Christ’s at all.
The Misslers share, “Without a renewed mind our lives will remain the same as they’ve always been, no matter what we do or try. No matter how many Bible studies we attend; how many Scriptures we read; no matter how often we go to church; and, no matter how much we pray, if we don’t have a mind change, our lives will still have the same problems, the same failures, and the same defeats as they always have.”
The Be Ye Transformed Series is dedicated to exploring the authority and power of God that we, as Believers, already possess to “free us” from anything that is not of faith and allow us to walk genuinely in God’s Love and Truth.
The textbook contains extensive Scriptural references, charts, supplemental notes and a glossary. Designed for individual, small group or corporate Bible studies.
