Little One We Knew Youd Come
In Search Of The Holy
$19.99
In Search of the Holy paints a picture of a full and complete life-a life that lives up to our craziest childhood dreams.
But rather than freewheeling pursuit of some individual ideal, the hero life comes from an old concept, freshly relevant again today, called “holiness.”
When a lot of regular people think about being “holy”, they think about keeping the Ten Commandments. But the Ten Commandments are impossible. If the self-proclaimed holy rollers can’t keep God’s commandments, regular people don’t have a chance.
The good news is that in the Bible, being “holy” doesn’t mean being pious or “good enough.” It means to be “set apart for a special purpose”. The antonym not profane or obscene; it is “ordinary.”
And we don’t get there by following a set of rules, but by following the One who was there when the rules were written, Jesus. What makes life exciting is who we worship, what we believe, and how we live-all of these are connected. Following Jesus turns life from ordinary to extraordinary as His love and grace change us from the inside out.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
