Reimagine Retirement : Planning And Living For The Glory Of God
$16.99Americans are crazy about retirement.
Everywhere we look there are books, articles, and websites dedicated to the subject–most of which are about how to get there fast, and how to enjoy it when you’re there. In this book, Chris Cagle, himself a recent retiree, challenges us to reimagine retirement from a distinctly Christian perspective. In the process, he will challenge our typical view of retirement as the ultimate reward for a life of hard work by asking key questions:
*What does the Bible have to say, if anything, about retirement?
*What would a God-honoring and glorifying retirement look like?
*If retirement is probable for most of us, how should we plan for it as wise stewards of the resources God has entrusted to our care?In Reimagine Retirement, Chris answers these and other questions to help us construct a vision of retirement that reflects the values, priorities, and purposes that are most important to God.

Power Of Consecration
$14.99You have been set apart for such a time as this.
In these last days, God is bringing forth His people to fulfill major Kingdom assignments in every sphere of influence. From business leaders to church planters, from Hollywood entertainers to educators, from the pulpit to the political arena, God is raising up pioneers who are called and anointed to bring supernatural transformation.
As God’s people give themselves completely to Him and His Kingdom purpose, they will become catalysts for bringing the awakening and reformation that has been prophesied.
Author, prophet, and church planter, Jeremiah Johnson, is convinced: this is more than a book or a message; this is a prophetic mandate the Lord is entrusting to a generation.
Beyond building a church, school, and prophetic ministry, there is a grace on his life to help believers partner with God’s process in order to see assignments fulfilled.
In The Power of Consecration, Jeremiah helps you to…
*Live the kind of lifestyle that can carry Kingdom power and influence.
*Cultivate a “secret place” lifestyle that attracts the true rewards and riches of Heaven.
*Unlock a new realm of kingdom demonstration that we have not yet seen before in the earth.Receive this urgent prophetic word: the lack of demonstration in the church is directly connected to the lack of consecration.
Could it be that the Holy Spirit is daring those who are hungry to come seek Him, to those who are willing to pay a price, that if we will consecrate ourselves fully, He will manifest His kingdom fully in the earth.

Age Of Promise
$22.99Randy Robison, cohost of LIFE Today, explores ten practices from the Old Testament and shows how Christians today can find deeper relationship with God as they understand these ancient principles and the promises they hold today.
Many Christians struggle to understand the intricacies, much less the meaning, of various teachings in the Old Testament. In resignation, they point to Jesus’s proclamation of a new covenant and overlook many foundational truths of God, such as sacrifice, priesthood, and the temple. While Christ’s death and resurrection did make some religious practices obsolete, God’s plan and the promises he gave remain relevant and living and applicable. In fact, Jesus’ completion of God’s redemptive plan transformed those ancient promises so that they are fulfilled to an even deeper degree in the lives of Christians today.
In The Age of Promise, Randy Robison explores ten truths formed in the Old Testament that were transformed in Christ and reveals how these ancient principles can, in fact, change lives today. Understanding these truths is the key to experiencing a deeper, more powerful relationship with the eternal Father, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When everyday believers follow this path, they find real life change and connect with the richness of their heritage of faith.

Strength You Need
$18.99Why are we feeling so depleted when God has promised us strength equal to our days?
Pastor Robert Morgan leads a busy life as a pastor and is also a multitasking caregiver to his disabled wife. Most days he feels exhausted, yet over time God has shown him how to build himself up when he’s worn himself out. He has learned to fully embrace Psalm 84, as he moves from strength to strength. The valleys and the weaknesses are inevitable. Our task is to embrace these as we wait for God to take us to our next time of strength.
After reviewing the 232 occurrences of the word strength in Scripture, Pastor Robert discovered twelve clear passages that drop anchor in God’s Sea of Strength. Among the kinds of strength available to every believer are:
*Lifelong Strength: your strength will equal your days (Deuteronomy 33:25)
*Lasting Strength: they go from strength to strength (Psalm 84:5-7)
*Imparted Strength: the eyes of The Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9)
*Joyful Strength: the joy of The Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10)
*Timely Strength: God is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1)
*Tranquil Strength: in quietness and trust is your strength (Isaiah 30:15)
*Renewed Strength: those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31)
*Recurring Strength: the Lord will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden (Isaiah 58:11)
*Durable Strength: the Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, He enables me to tread on the heights (Habakkuk 3:19)
*Unwavering Strength: Abraham did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God (Romans 4:20)
*Innermost Strength: I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being (Ephesians 3:16)
*Riveting Strength: I can do all this through Him who gives me strength (Philippians 4:13)Add to cart1 in stock

Id Like You More If You Were More Like Me
$22.99I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me takes on one of life’s most important questions: How can I get closer to God and other people?
We were created for deep connections. When people have deep connections, says John Ortberg, they win in life. When they don’t have deep connections, they cannot win in life. I’d Like You More if You Were More like Me offers help in overcoming one of the biggest obstacles to making deep connections: the fact that we’re so different. Different from God and different from each other.
The good news is that connectedness is not based on similarity, but on shared experiences. When one person invites another to share an experience, they’re connected. It can be sharing a beautiful sunset or a meal, having a great conversation over cup of coffee, going for walk, or even teasing somebody. And when we share those same experiences with God, we get closer to him, too. God wants to connect with us?so much that he sent his son to live as a human being. God took on flesh and shared every human experience. So we don’t have to wonder what a close relationship with God looks like anymore.
An intimate relationship with God and other people doesn’t have to be a cliche, it can be a daily way of life.

Kingdom Disciples : Heavens Representatives On Earth
$19.99The missing key to Christianity in America
There is a missing key in Christianity today. It is a critical key, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without the full use of this key, we lack the tools needed to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth.
That missing key is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn:
*What a disciple essentially is
*What a disciple cares about
*How to be a disciple and make disciples
*What discipleship looks like in community
*What the impact of discipleship on the world should beKingdom disciples are short supply, and the results are legions of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, resulting in a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship.
It is the goal of this book Kingdom Disciples to call believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment?
Useful for base material in a course on discipleship.

Emotionally Healthy Spirituality
$19.99One percent of church leaders say that churches are doing well in discipling new and young believers. After almost three decades of pastoring New Life Fellowship Church in New York City, Peter Scazzero discovered that most people are not being changed in our churches, and, as a result, are not changing the world. Scazzero found two truths to be true: (1) you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature, and (2) unless you slow your life down for a first-hand relationship with Jesus Christ, little change is possible. The integration of these two truths unleashed a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches. In this revised bestselling book, Scazzero outlines his journey and offers a roadmap for a discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. Topics include how to identify emotionally unhealthy spirituality, how to grow your soul through grief and loss, and how to develop into an emotionally mature adult. Offering new stories and principles, this updated edition will inspire readers to revolutionize their spiritual life.

Invitation To A Journey (Expanded)
$17.00M. Robert Mulholland Jr. defines spiritual formation as “the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others.” Compact and solid, this definition encompasses the dynamics of a vital Christian life and counters our culture’s tendency to make spirituality a trivial matter or reduce it to a private affair between “me and Jesus.” In Invitation to a Journey, Mulholland helps Christians new and old to understand that we become like Christ gradually, not instantly. Not every personality is suited to an early morning quiet time, so Mulholland frees different personality types to express their piety differently. He reviews the classical spiritual disciplines and demonstrates the importance of undertaking our spiritual journey with (and for the sake of) others. This road map for spiritual formation is profoundly biblical and down to earth. In the finest tradition of spiritual literature, it is a vital help to Christians at any stage of their journey. This edition is revised and expanded by Ruth Haley Barton with a new foreword, practices and study guide.

Deeper Journey : The Spirituality Of Discovering Your True Self
$20.99As you journey deeper in the Christian pilgrimage, you come to realize that the Christian life is more than merely replicating particular spiritual disciplines or practices.

Robert Mulholland Jr. exposes the false selves that you may be tempted to hide behind and helps you to instead discover the true self that comes from being hidden with Christ in God. If the goal of the Christian journey is Christlikeness, then you must reckon with the unhealthy ways that you root your sense of being in things other than God. Along the way, you will discover a growing sense of intimacy and abandonment to God. Not only will you encounter the joy of discovering your own self, you will also find a greater love for others and compassion for the world. The expanded edition includes a study guide for individual reflection or group discussion.

NotesAdditional Info
Most people think of God’s will as something to be found or as the receiving of guidance from God when making decisions. Too often, however, the problem is not that we don’t know what God desires for our lives, but rather that we just don’t want to do what we already know he wants. How might our wills be changed so that we become both willing and able to do what God asks of us?In Desiring God’s Will psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner explores the transformation of the will in Christian spirituality. He examines why our desires are disordered and how our human volition can be brought into alignment with God’s intentions so that we willingly choose that which God wants for us. In so doing, Benner shows us that cultivating discernment and being attuned to God’s desires is the path to true life, spiritual health and freedom.
God wants to change our choosing, not just our choices. By aligning our hearts with God’s, we will find liberation from the kingdom of self and instead experience the joy of the kingdom of God.
This expanded edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy, includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.

NotesAdditional Info
“Only God deserves absolute surrender because only God can offer absolutely dependable love.”In our self-reliant era, most of us recoil from the concept of surrendering to a power or authority outside ourselves. But surrender need not be seen as threatening, especially when the One to whom we surrender is the epitome of goodness and love.
God doesn’t want his people to respond to him out of fear or obligation. Rather, he invites us to enter into an authentic relationship of intimacy and devotion. And so God calls us to move beyond mere obedience-by surrendering to love.
In this profound book, David G. Benner explores the twin themes of love and surrender as the heart of Christian spirituality. Through careful examination of Scripture and reflection on the Christian tradition, Benner shows how God bids us to trust fully in his perfect love. God is love, and he intends for you to live in his love. Surrender to Love will lead you to an unexpected place, where yieldedness to God frees you to become who he created you to be.
This expanded edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy, includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.

Entitlement Cure
$22.99Today we live in a culture that says, My life should be easy and work well for me. This attitude, called entitlement, influences our most important institutions: family, business, church, and government. Its effects are devastating, contributing to relational problems, work ethic issues, and emotional struggles.
It comes down to this: People are not getting to where they want to go, because they don’t know how to do life the Hard Way. Their entitlement keeps them from tackling challenges and finding success.
This book provides principles and tools for change. It teaches people the skills of learning to tackle and resolve matters that are difficult, rather than avoiding them, giving up too quickly, or hoping someone else will do it for them. The habits gleaned from this book will lead to success in the reader s relationships, finances, self-care, and work. When the reader faces what must be faced, he stands to meet his goals and resolve his struggles better and faster. In that sense, this book brings a great deal of hope and positivity to a tough arena of life.
The Entitlement Cure is simple: it is facing any challenge required to accomplish what matters most. Anything worth doing will have a cost of being hard to do. But when we learn how to do the right things, and push through the pain that comes, we stand a much better chance of success.
Sometimes trials are put upon us, such as a troubled marriage, a failing business, or an illness. At other times they are opportunities where we need to take a risk, such as starting a part-time business, or simply being vulnerable with someone. At still other times they are problems that must be faced, such as a troubled teen, a conversation we have been avoiding, or a team at work that needs to be restructured. Whatever the context, the Hard Way is the first and best way to approach a good outcome.”

Lords Prayer

With those words, Jesus, in His Sermon on the Mount, gave us the very model of prayer, one that has been recited ever since-across all denominations and sects and throughout many centuries of time.
