Those Who Are Wise Will Shine
$35.95

Taken from Daniel 12:3, “Those Who Are Wise Will Shine” uncovers God’s awesome power at work in the lives of those He chose to bear His message of Redemption, from Adam to Christ. The lives of these faithful brightly shined forth with His presence in the face of a world full of darkness. They knew He spoke to them, called them, and in turn, they were constrained to follow Him. There is no better way to shine for the Lord than to know with determined faith, who He really is and that where He leads, you will faithfully follow! These ancient pioneers of faith displayed just that!

This work seeks to take the readers back to the basics of Redemption and Sanctification though the unfolding of the “Redemptive Thread” that links the blood lineage of our ancient forefathers to the rise of our Messiah, Jesus Christ. It ends with the joyous events still to come at His Second Advent. From creation to the cross, redemption and sanctification are certainly defined as two of the zealous desires of the Lord. The overall central theme of the Holy Scripture is redemption. Humanity is fallen, separated from God, and in dire need of reconciliation. The Lord’s perfect gift of redemption reconciles the breach. His work in us is what follows. Immediately He begins that work, and it will never be complete until we see Him face-to-face!! He calls us to be holy and set apart for His service. Never underestimate the value He has placed on you as a vessel chosen with purpose to be His emissary shining His light into this dark world. It is God’s foundational will for each of us to emanate the fragrance of Christ in all He calls us to be.

Today, Christians in most places are still in need of the milk of the word. They lead a very shallow and powerless Christian life. It is one of the reasons the church is so lifeless in many places. It is not enough to know of the elementary principles of Christianity, we must also understand their meaning in terms of God’s continual work in us. We must take them to heart. This volume seeks to lay a foundation of trusting God by understanding how God worked in the lives of past saints to make sure His message of redemption went unhindered so it could be ours today. Millions in the past millennia have gone beyond the superficial and with God’s help, stood firmly and boldly on His side! A proper understanding of Redemption will only lead you to rejoice with “joy unspeakable” as you stand in unrestricted service to God. He has liberated us to fulfi

Kingdom And The Cross
$17.99

IVP Print On Demand Title

We believe a lot of false narratives about the nature of God, things like “God helps those who help themselves”; “God blesses the righteous”; “God might not be out for your good, and you might be missing something.” But pastor and professor James Bryan Smith points us to the truth of who God is, revealed by Jesus: A God who loves to help the helpless. A God who doesn’t play favorites, whether righteous or unrighteous. A God who is, in his essence, self-sacrificing–even to death–to save a people he loves. In six short chapters, The Kingdom and the Cross zooms in on Christ’s work on the cross and what it all means about who God is and how we’re to live as his people. A soul training exercise is included for each chapter to help the new true narrative take root in our hearts. And a discussion guide at the end makes this complement to The Apprentice Series perfect for groups to work through together, especially during the season of Lent. Understanding Christ’s work on the cross is crucial for any apprentice of Jesus. Here is a resource to help you see–and believe–more fully, that you might live more faithfully in his kingdom.

Sacred Moment : Becoming Holy Right Where You Are
$19.99

What does it mean to be a holy person? The answer might surprise you. This delightful yet challenging book from spiritual director Albert Haase provides practical wisdom for becoming holy–right in the midst of “ordinary” life. “Any and every situation holds the grace for the transformation called holiness. . . . [By] imitating Christ and emptying myself for the benefit of another,” Haase writes, “I can become holy right where I am.” Haase guides us in this new way of living, offering practices that help us discern what God is calling us to in each moment, as well as clear direction for living in the Spirit, the source of our holiness. With brief, engaging chapters that share real stories of people who are living out holy transformation and short reflection questions, this book is designed to fit realistically into our already full lives. “I believe that holiness is not as elusive or impossible as most of us think,” Haase says. “That’s not to say it’s easy; it certainly is not. But I think there are many people in the world . . . who know that God calls them right where they are. Living in and guided by the Spirit, they imitate Jesus: they selflessly respond to God’s call in this sacred moment for the enrichment of others.” You can too. Here’s how.

Stepping Into His Shift
$22.48

STEPPING INTO HIS SHIFT (The Four Degrees of Separation) “Stepping Into His Shift” describes what many fear; change. All change is to be treated as a form of grief. Why? It is treated as such because a phase or our life has been disrupted. Our comfort zone has been compromised and we are to either go with His direction or create our own. Either way we experience grief. If we stay where we are, we accept what consequences we have created which will ultimately be grief. If we follow God, there will be a measure of grief concerning memories of where we were. But, we will process it as we see His marvelous plan for our life. This is a work of stages; where most people don’t compartmentalize. If we live our lives on levels, grow into dimensions, travel in degrees as on a compass and acknowledge seasons, we will understand fully when God ordains a shift for our life.

Sacred Journey : The Ancient Practices
$18.99

Have Christians rejected pilgrimage?

The Israelites knew it. David knew it. The writer of Hebrews knew it. John Bunyan knew it. “Blessed are those whose strength is in You. They have set their hearts on pilgrimage.” (Psalm 84:5) We are strangers and pilgrims here. We’re passing through this world on a sacred journey to somewhere else. Charles Foster explores the approaching of each day as a pilgrimage-a chance to move one step closer to our ultimate goal and to even now experience tastes of that goal through prayerful awareness, study, and meditation.

Culling from his many journeys across the globe, Foster exhibits the very definition of pilgrimage: a journey to the most holy locations of our faith. This is at once both internal and external, and the author shows us how the two intersect.

A best-selling author and barrister in Oxford, Foster has spent much of his life testing the limits of human and spiritual endurance.

Tithing : Test Me In This
$12.99

Stories of people who live a generous and happy life (and why you’ll want to live that way too.)

Journalist Douglas LeBlanc travels the nation to talk with believers whose lives have been enriched by the ancient spiritual discipline of tithing. He discovers people along the way who do not understand the practice as an onerous law but as God’s call to a life of generosity and compassion. The effect on their lives is dramatic.

LeBlanc talks with a variety of believers-from a pastor in the south side of Chicago to progressive Episcopalians, from an Orthodox rabbi to an Eastern Orthodox priest and his wife. By holding their gifts with open hands, they are drawn deeper into a life of joy and sharing that begins in the very heart of God.

Liturgical Year : The Spiraling Adventure Of The Spiritual Life
$18.99

A journey of the soul through the map of Christian time.The liturgical year, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent and carrying through the following November, is the year that sets out to attune the life of the Christian to the life of Jesus, the Christ.

What may at first seem to be simply an arbitrary arrangement of ancient holy days, or liturgical seasons, this book explains their essential relationship to one another and their ongoing meaning to us today. It is an excursion into life from the Christian perspective, from the viewpoint of those who set out not only to follow Jesus but to live and think as Jesus did.

And it proposes to help us to year after year immerse ourselves into the sense and substance of the Christian life until, eventually, we become what we say we are-followers of Jesus all the way to the heart of God. It is an adventure in human growth; it is an exercise in spiritual ripening.

Sacred Meal : The Ancient Practices Series
$16.99

The sacred meal that is part of our faith does more than connect us to the holy, it connects us to each other.

“I think Jesus wanted his disciples and everyone who came after him to remember what they had together. What they made together. What it meant to be together. How the things he did could not have been done without them.”In her inimitable style of memoir and personal reflection, Nora Gallagher explores the beauty and mystery of this most fascinating of topics. Whether exploring the history of Christian communion, taking us inside the workings of a soup kitchen, or sharing times of joy and sadness with friends, she reminds us what it means to partake of, and be part of, the body of Christ.

Fasting : The Ancient Practices
$18.99

Building a body and mind that hungers for God.

Is the practice of faith centered solely on the spirit? Is the body an enemy, or can it actually play a role in our pursuit of God? In this installation of the Ancient Practices Series, Dr. Scot McKnight reconnects the spiritual and the physical through the discipline of fasting.

The act of fasting, he says, should not be focused on results or used as a manipulative tool. It is a practice to be used in response to sacred moments, just as it has in the lives of God’s people throughout history. McKnight gives us scriptural accounts of fasting, along with practical wisdom on benefits and pitfalls, when we should fast, and what happens to our bodies as a result.

For those who have wondered how to grasp the value of this most misunderstood ancient
practice, this book is a comprehensive guide.

Sabbath : The Ancient Practices
$19.99

To rest does not mean to cease all activity.

Bestselling author Dan Allender presents an insightful and fascinating look at the origins and purpose of Sabbath. Serving as volume three in The Ancient Practices series, Sabbath examines the key issues of this oft-misunderstood day of the week.

This “day of delight” as instituted by God has become a dirge for millions of believers. For many, it is simply a break from the busyness of the work week. So, what keeps us from properly understanding, sanctifying, and celebrating this important day? Allender looks at not only the history of this discipline, going all the way back to ancient Israel, but also at the modern manifestations and misunderstandings of its practice. Allender bases his premise on the Hebrew word for rest, Menuha, which is best translated as “joyous repose, tranquility, or delight.” It is through this lens that he resurrects this lost definition of what it really means to rest.A volume in the eight book classic series, The Ancient Practices, with a foreword by Phyllis Tickle, General Editor.

Finding Our Way Again
$18.99

Why have certain spiritual disciplines been in use for centuries, and why are they so important?

It is questionable if one can ever be exactly the same person waking up on two consecutive days. How are spiritual sojourners to cope with the constant change? Many are beginning to explore the ancient Christian spiritual practices, such as fixed-hour prayer, fasting and sincere observance of the Sabbath. What is causing this hunger for deeper spirituality?

Brian McLaren guides us on this quest for an explanation of these spiritual practices, many of which go all the way back to Abraham and the establishment of Israel. In the midst of contemporary Christianity, we discover the beauty of these disciplines and the transformation through Christ that each can provide.

Includes foreword by Phyllis Tickle and leads into seven additional titles, The Ancient Practices, a classic series featuring some of the leading writers on spirituality in the world today.

Reading Through Matthew Encountering God
$21.23

God teaches and speaks to people through the Bible. This book will teach and inspire Christians to read the Bible and respond with their lives. In Reading Through Matthew, Encountering God, I demonstrate my method of Bible reading, journaling, and prayer. This Dynamic Bible Reading, as I call it, involves reading a small Bible passage and journaling the believer’s interaction with that passage through three distinct sections; (1) Scripture Insight: the meaning of the passage, (2) Application: how to apply the meaning to life, and (3) Prayer: seeking God’s guidance in living out what the passage teaches. To best draw the meaning of Scripture into our lives, we must read it, work through its meaning, and begin to practice it in life. This book helps to develop these skills. Once gained, I hope each reader will pass this book on to someone else who might benefit from it.

Spiritual Formation : Ever Forming Never Formed
$20.00

In 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.

Agreements : Imparting Identity And Worth
$23.73

In Isaiah 55:8 God speaks to us, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord.”

There it is-therein lies every individual’s struggle to find their identity, their destiny, their freedom. Simply, our thoughts are not His thoughts and our ways are not His ways.
For those of us who wish to deepen our spiritual walk with Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the book THE AGREEMENTS purposes to impart God’s identity, thoughts and ways into our members.

The concept is simple, if my thoughts and ways differ from God’s thoughts and ways, then there must be something wrong with my thoughts and ways. There is no other option, there can be no argument with His thoughts and ways-for God is all knowing, perfectly perceiving and conscious as to what is best. THE AGREEMENTS speak of forty such agreements between us and God for us to embrace and walk out in reference to our identity and worth.

Holiness The Key To Revival
$19.98

This book is to bring hope, encouragement and fresh vision to the Church.

It is for Christians who are:

* Frustrated – but believing.
* ‘Saved – but stuck’ (‘stuck’ in ‘the wilderness’).
* Forgiven – but not in victory.
* Disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, doubting damaged, defeated and/or desperate.
* Hungry for more of God.

For sincere Christians, holiness is usually an aspiration which is only vaguely dreamt about, but with no real concrete, proven direction to follow. Many of God’s people recognize that holiness is a commandment of God……but – how do we become holy and walk in holiness and, is it possible?

This book has the answer – based on the Word of God and testimonies of past saints who did walk in holiness and, through whose lives God was able to move, often bringing revival and thousands of souls to the Lord.

Lack of teaching on this vital doctrine of Experiential Sanctification is a major reason why the Church is not walking in holiness and victory. The lateness of the hour and days in which we live surely spur us on to seek our God with all our hearts, and cry, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God’. ‘Holiness – the Key to Revival’ will enlighten and excite the believer to experience a more effective personal Christian Life.

Surviving In An Angry World
$17.99

The premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger-and ultimately forgiving the offender-will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as “a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you.” Building on this defintion, Stanley…

1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves.

2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical.

3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps.

4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings.

With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is “the size of thing that makes them angry.” He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that “righteous indignation” is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

Jesus You Cant Ignore
$19.99

Best-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren’t the complete picture. Maybe because it’s uncomfortable, or maybe because it’s inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior and His passionate mission to make the gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God. This mission required that he sometimes raise his voice and sometimes raise a whip. In the much-needed message in The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, renowned Bible teacher and best-selling author John MacArthur reintroduces the compelling and often unsettling passion of Jesus’ ministry. MacArthur points to the picture of the real Jesus the world is so eager to gloss over. And he calls readers to emulate Jesus’ commitment to further the kingdom by confronting lies and protecting the truth of God.

Costly Grace : A Contemporary View Of Bonhoeffers The Cost Of Discipleship
$15.99

In 1937, on the threshold of Nazi Germany’s war on the world, Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote what turned out to be one of the most influential books of the century, The Cost of Discipleship. In it, he challenged the flabby faith and compromises of German Christians, famously writing, When Christ calls a man he bids him come and die. Now, seventy-three years after the book was first published, Jon Walker writes Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship.

Walker brings to a new generation the timeless message of Bonhoeffer against the background of today’s political upheaval and societal change and what it means to those who claim to follow Christ’s teachings.

Yet all of these words are not enough to take us into the real presence of God where we can hear his voice. This book is an invitation to you to meet God deeply and fully outside the demands and noise of daily life. It is an invitation to solitude and silence. The beauty of a true invitation is that we really do have a choice about embarking on this adventure. God extends the invitation, but he honors our freedom and will not push himself where he is not wanted. Instead, he waits for us to respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes? This expanded edition includes a guide for groups to use both in discussing the book content and in learning to practice silence together.

Butlers Lives Of The Saints June
$49.95

This original work has been updated for it is most urgent that a thorough revision be undertaken, completely rewritten and with substantial amendments to the selection of entries. These amendments have been made necessary, first by the major reform of the Roman Calendar, and by the unprecedented number of canonizations and beatifications of recent decades. To these factors must be added the ongoing revision of the Roman Martyrology in progress at the Congregation of Divine Worship in Rome, which has altered a number of dates for commemoration, and which this new revision follows.

Exodus From Hunger
$22.00

It is within America’s technical and financial power to help end world hunger in our lifetime, if we set our hearts and minds to the task.

Contrary to what many people believe, the world has made measurable advancements against hunger and poverty over the last several decades. But too often the binding constraint on further progress is a simple lack of political will. As a result, one of the most powerful ways to affect change is often the most neglected–political activism.

In this powerful and hopeful book, David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and a leading anti-hunger activist, looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and puts a human face on the problem by sharing stories of people who are, quite simply, hungry every day. The problems can seem overwhelming but Beckmann lays out a clear and workable plan for effectively using political channels to make great progress. He not only challenges us to get involved, he shows us how.

It is no less than our call to do so.

Abide In Christ
$15.70

Bottom Of The Hill Publishing Publication

Christ beckons us to His banqueting table offering a room in His house, it is up to us whether we choose to step inside. To step though means to abide in Him and experience the unspeakable joy of dwelling with the King of Kings. Andrew Murray knew what it meant to be continually in the Father’s presence. Read these thirty-one heart-searching readings and learn how to live daily in closer communion and fellowship with Him. Accept God’s invitation and live in His blessing and glory instead of shuffling your feet at the gate. “Abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” –1 John 2:28 “And now, to all God’s children whom He allows me the privilege of pointing to the Heavenly Vine, I offer my fraternal love and salutations, with the prayer that to each one of them may be given the rich and full experience of the blessedness of abiding in Christ. And may the grace of Jesus, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be their daily portion. Amen.” Andrew Murray was a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be “the chief end of the church.” He was one of the founders of the South African General Mission (SAGM) later becoming the Africa Evangelical Fellowship (AEF) in 1965.

Other Wise : Renewing Your Passion To Serve
$15.61

Being aware of and meeting the needs of others. Sounds like a simple concept, doesn’t it? But why do we find it so difficult to follow through on one of the most fundamental elements of the Christian walk? There are people with needs all around us if we would just open our eyes and realize that they desperately need our help to make it through their struggles. But how do we know what they need? More than that, when we know their need why are we so reluctant to step forward with the gifts that God has given to us to help them? Have we become too apathetic? Is it because we don’t have the time? Are our schedules so inflexible that we cannot make time for a brother or sister who needs what we have?

In his light-hearted yet poignant approach to such an important topic, Doug Chamberlain helps us to cut through the distractions and noise of everyday life to give us practical insights into this vital function of the church. He encourages us to take a close look at ourselves to realize that meeting the needs of others should be commonplace in the life of a Christian, and that we need to use God given wisdom to faithfully and consistently minister to others in their time of need.

Maturing In Christ
$26.23

Maturing in Christ focuses on Christian truth that relates to living a successful spiritual life. Before a Christian can realize a consistent victorious spiritual life some basic truths must be understood: 1) the riches given by God at salvation to live Christ-like; 2) who the spiritual enemies are and how they attack; 3) and how to utilize divine enabling when resisting the enemies in order to live a successful Christian life.

The Christian has three spiritual enemies: Satan, the world system and the sin nature. Dr. Schafer uses Scripture to identify these adversaries and how to access God’s provisions for the strength to be victorious over them. This expository study of the Word is dedicated to Dr. Schafer’s lifelong desire for saints to live Christ-like.

Genesis And Life
$21.86

Cleve Jones understands that so many people when facing many of the issues of life do not have the resources to get the help they need. Some problems are beyond the skill set of some pastors and churches. Sometimes people need a “quick hitter” to help them through the issue of the day and something inspirational, and thought provoking enough to get them to begin mentally processing about long term solutions. If this book can reach some people within that context, it will have served one of its purposes.

Romans : Our Righteous God Revealed
$22.48

In Romans, Paul lays it all out for us as Christians. This great treatise by the Apostle Paul takes us on a journey through the amazing doctrines of true Christian faith: righteousness, sin, redemption, adoption, grace, Israel, the Law, the wicked…and so many more.

Pastor and teacher, John Meyer, walks us through this thrilling book in a practical, workable study format. This will inspire the individual who is seeking to grow in their knowledge of the deep, yet basic truths of Christianity. Meyer also works in plenty of discussion and teaching so that this study will fit well into a small group study or Sunday School/Bible Study group setting. The pace can be set by the person or the group leader/facilitator.

There are ample discussion topics and talk-points scattered throughout this study to allow for an individual to deepen their relationship with Christ. Groups will enjoy the stopping and “parking” moments to share thoughts and opinions.

At this point, there are six other LFL books in the series that will be available soon to keep the challenge before believers to “rightly divide the Word of truth”. Today, we Christians who comprise the body of Christ need “Lessons For Life”.

Step Stones : To The Second Greatest Commandment
$22.48

He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Luke 10: 27-28

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. James 2: 8

I fear that Christians have gotten so caught up within our society that we have forgotten the first and second greatest commandments. In so doing we do ourselves more harm, yet it is our collective selfishness and stubbornness that keeps us from acknowledging that we are nothing without God. We are not doing right and I fear that many will not live. I also fear that many do not know what love is because we have misused the word so often. Step Stones is the path that God led me down when I needed to discover what love really is. My prayers are that it is not too late for our society; that Christians can be the ones leading us to a right standing so that we can we can be forgiven. We must first get back to the basics of what we are called to do. It all comes down to not what God can do for me, but what can I do to further the Kingdom of God. Only love true love will lead us out of this mess we are in.

In his third and final book in the Apprentice Series, James Bryan Smith helps us know how to live in relationship with others as apprentices of Jesus. “Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders,” he writes. “They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live.” Yet many times we’ve gotten it wrong, tending to emphasize personal faith over social justice or vice versa. In these pages Jim Smith shows us how to bring spiritual formation and community engagement together, and then once again offers spiritual practices that root new, true narratives about God and the world in our souls. His insight and humility as a fellow learner with us will lead us to live in authentic ways as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers, shining the light of the Spirit into every relationship.

10 Best Decisions A Man Can Make
$18.73

Men today have important decisions to make about family, career, and ministry. Sometimes the choices can seem overwhelming, and men end up making decisions by default-by doing what comes naturally rather than by carefully thought-out principles. In The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make, popular author and speaker Bill Farrel gives men the hands-on decision-making tools they need to make the kinds of choices they won’t regret. Farrel encourages men to discover the joy of finding their place in God’s plan as they
explore the positive benefits of making healthy decisions:
discover their personal pace in life and make decisions in keeping with that pace
develop a plan for godliness that relieves the burden of self-effort
learn to make decisions based on personal character rather than what feels right at the moment
