Separated By The Cross
$21.23
Separated by the Cross is a powerful story of a family as they journey from their home in Scythopolis to Jerusalem for the Passover holiday. Come with them as they embark on a life changing adventure that is sure to leave them at odds with one another. Visit with them as they see the events of Jesus’ last week on earth, and watch as the story unfolds from this family’s point of view. See things not from the prospective of the Gospels, but of a young boy and his family. Life for a first century Jew was difficult enough, now made even harder by the decision they all must make; to either continue to follow the traditions and the laws set down by Moses, or follow this man who has done wondrous miracles and spoken the word of God like no one else ever has.

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.
