    • Trustworthy : Thirteen Arguments For The Reliability Of The New Testament

      $22.99

      How do we know the New Testament is reliable?

      It matters-but discussions on whether the New Testament is historically accurate can be tedious and overwhelming. We want to be confident that the reports in the New Testament are true and dependable, but scholarly discussions around the authenticity of the events recounted in Scripture can be challenging to navigate.

      Dr. Ben Shaw provides the clear introduction we’ve needed for understanding the New Testament’s historical reliability. In his book, Trustworthy, he systematically surveys key issues related to New Testament reliability and provides guidance for those setting out to explore the evidence. Concise, to-the-point chapters equip readers to answer the challenging questions one encounters when discussing the credibility of the New Testament. Addressing a wide variety of evidence including archaeology, authorship, text criticism, and non-Christian sources, Shaw leads readers through the key scholarly topics related to New Testament reliability.

      Here’s the truth: we can trust the New Testament not only for its historical accuracy but also as a guide to life.

    • Live In The Light

      $19.99

      We are in a season of church meltdown.

      The apostle John-the beloved disciple and the author of the Gospel by the same name-wrote letters to churches caught in a turbulent season of leadership failures, divisions over interpretation and practice, church splits, and even a powerful leader stirring up dissent. Sound familiar? It seems as though the church is melting under an angry heat wave of national politics, racism, injustice, and abuse.

      Is there any hope?

      Tara Beth Leach invites us to listen for John’s guidance to the church. The same message John sent to Christians in his day is also a message for us today! Darkness seems to surround us, leaving so many without hope. But Jesus, the Light of the world, invites his followers to share that light with others and become the kind of community that brings love, hope, and healing to every darkened space.

      Join us for these next six weeks and learn to live in the light!

    • Matters Of The Heart

      $17.99

      He’s the community’s jokester auctioneer. She’s the serious caregiver for her siblings who also works at the local plant nursery. What future could they have together?

      Declan Miller has always had feelings for Bethel King. Back when they were in school, she was the smartest girl in the class and, in his opinion, by far the prettiest. Now the two of them are in their twenties and while the attraction is still there, Declan is as hesitant as ever to let Bethel know how he feels. His corny jokes and wisecracks cover a heart that’s afraid of rejection.

      Bethel can’t deny Declan is nice, funny, hardworking, and pleasing to the eye–a perfect match if you asked any Plain girl in the area. But marrying Bethel would also mean marrying into her family. Two of her younger brothers have a rare form of muscular dystrophy, and her sister Claire is now showing signs of having it as well. Fiercely loyal and nurturing, Bethel has promised herself her siblings will always come first. With a good chance that she carries the gene and could pass it on to her children, Bethel has tried to convince herself marriage and family just aren’t in the cards for her.

      When a devastating diagnosis of his own turns Declan’s world upside down, he looks to Bethel for understanding, compassion, and a realistic outlook. As they share their dreams and fears and grow together in faith, a bond begins to develop between them. Perhaps their combination of optimistic extrovert and thoughtful introvert really isn’t such a bad thing–perhaps it’s actually a part of God’s beautiful design.

    • Enneagram For Moms

      $19.99

      Beth McCord, widely known as Your Enneagram Coach, shows how motherhood is divinely intended to be a transformative journey where moms not only help paint a portrait of their family, but also cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and deep connections with God, their spouse, and their children.

      Beth McCord takes women on a transformative journey through motherhood, blending Enneagram wisdom with practical insights to foster authentic and healthy family dynamics. Beth unveils a guiding metaphor that brings clarity to the intricate art of parenting: diverse colors on a divine palette, graciously used by God to create the beautiful messiness of family life, all the while empowering and redeeming our contributions as parents. These colors represent the unique motivations and strategies reflective of each Enneagram Type.

      God alone is the Master Artist intricately involved in every brushstroke, so moms can find rest and confidence in knowing that the outcomes of His masterpiece are in His capable hands. Gaining deeper understanding of their own inner world (and not just their kids’, which is what many parents seek the most), The Enneagram for Moms will help mothers:

      *find healing for their emotional patterns and personality, allowing them to be healthy and positive influences in their children’s lives;

      *discover how their distinct shades already color their parenting approach;

      *gain valuable tools to help their children navigate their own emotional landscapes with self-awareness and resilience;

      *see themselves and their children as God intends, breaking free from the cycles of mommy shaming and mommy guilting; and

      *recognize that each child already possesses a unique blend of colors, reflecting God’s infinitely beautiful design.

      This essential resource speaks directly to the heart of every mother, caregiver, or concerned adult seeking guidance and peace. Moms no longer need to strive for perfection or conform to society’s expectations or their own insecure standards of comparison. Instead, they can rely on God’s providence and guidance as they navigate the beautiful messiness of family life.

    • Higher Authority : Operate In The Supernatural Power Of God And Expose Hell

      $44.98

      In God’s Image-or in Satan’s?

      Did you know that the current technologies praised in the media-like genetic engineering, cryogenics, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence-are driven by demonic designs? That current advancements are actually taking us further away from God’s original design?

      Scientists and futurists push to enhance mankind into a post-human race with man-made superpowers. But this is treacherous ground, following in the devil’s own footsteps. We’ve forgotten that our Creator’s desire is to transform us from a fallen creation into a new creation with divinely given supernatural power. There is a higher authority that only the King of kings has to give, and you were anointed and empowered by His Spirit to walk in this!

      *Understand what God is saying about man-enhancing technology-and its immediate and eternal consequences.

      *Recognize demonic counterfeits of God’s design and power.

      *Receive superhuman wisdom and abilities through the Holy Spirit.

      *Operate in your anointed “Christ-implants” for higher effectiveness and functionality.
      *Improve what truly matters-your relationship with Jesus.

      *Topple the global altars of self-glorification.

      *Live with true enhanced humanity-body, mind, spirit, soul-to advance His Kingdom.

      Heaven is extending a supernatural upgrade to all believers! It’s time to stop enhancing our sinfulness, remaking man in our own fallen image. You are created in the image of God-it’s time to live like it!

    • Daniel Prayer Bible Study Guide Plus Streaming Video

      $22.99

      Do you long for a more powerful prayer life? Do you grow discouraged when your prayers don’t seem to change anything or allow you to hear God’s voice?

      In this six-session video Bible study workshop (video access included), Anne Graham Lotz presents a biblical approach to prayer that will help you:

      *Learn to listen for God’s voice,
      *Know Him in a personal relationship,
      *and Communicate with Him through His Word.

      By taking a close look at the life of Daniel, Anne unpacks the prayer he prayed in Daniel 9. Following the pattern of Daniel’s original prayer as a model for how we speak to our Creator, she helps us develop a more meaningful and powerful prayer life.

      For an entire generation, Daniel’s people had been held in captivity and separated from their homeland. But when Daniel read a prophecy in which God said He would restore His people to Jerusalem after seventy years, he claimed that promise and cried out for to the Lord to bring it to pass. Daniel’s example of praying God’s Word back to Him is what Anne calls “reversed thunder.”

      In this six-session study, Anne explains how we can reverse the thunder until Heaven is moved and we see real change in our own lives and the lives of those we’re praying for.

      This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

      *The study guide itself–with video notes, personal study and group discussion sections, and a guide to best practices for leading a group.

      *An individual access to stream all six video sessions online. (DVD also available separately)

      This guide includes weekly Bible study readings, group activities, and space for writing your own prayers. It is ideal for use in small groups and Sunday school classes and includes a simplified Bible study track for more limited meeting time (such as a workplace lunchtime setting).

      Sessions and run times include:

      2. Preparing for Prayer (17:00)

    • Who Are You

      $16.99

      This Engaging Picture Book Helps Kids Explore Their True Identity Found in Christ

      Kids have an innate curiosity to explore and discover new things about themselves-they learn their strengths and talents, their preferences and quirks, all while celebrating little victories along the way. While these milestones are undoubtedly important for developing children, our culture mistakenly views them as the foundation of who they are.

      Deeply biblical and visually engaging, this picture book uses lyrical rhymes to help children ages 3-5 understand that their true identity is not found in their preferences, past actions, or current emotions. Instead, it is rooted in their relationship with their Creator and Savior. The one who fashioned them in his likeness and calls them to live a life for his glory. A note to parents section at the end of the book offers practical tips and additional Bible verses for instilling these truths in children as they navigate the world and build the foundation of their lives.

      *Explores Identity and Purpose: Helps children understand they are not defined by their preferences, actions, or emotions, but by their relationship with God as his image bearer

      *Written for Kids Ages 3-5: Engaging and lyrical, this book will keep kids entertained as they learn about themselves, their God, and the world around them

      *Practical Approach for Parents and Guardians: A comments to parents section at the end of the book provides advice for furthering the conversation on the topic of identity

      $19.99

      God’s Thoughts Toward You Are Filled with Love

      Exploring the Mind of God reveals the thoughts and plans of our Creator-Father as revealed in the deeper meanings of Hebrew words in Scripture, with reflections on related Greek and Aramaic terms as well.

      Hebrew teacher Chaim Bentorah highlights both Old and New Testament passages that reveal the loving nature of God, as opposed to the vindictive nature that is commonly portrayed.

      Chaim says, “The foremost thought that expresses the mind of God toward humanity is His love for us in Christ Jesus.”

      Each of the sixty devotional readings features a specific passage of Scripture, followed by an investigation of key words in the original languages, all pointing to the eternal purposes of our loving heavenly Father. Use as an inspiring daily devotional that will draw you closer to the Lord, a deeper word study into biblical Hebrew, or both.

      You don’t even have to be familiar with a word of Hebrew to be greatly blessed by these insights. Chaim opens up the biblical passages while ultimately pointing us to enter more fully into a loving relationship with our Lord.

    • Dark Traffic : The Dangerous Intersection Of Technology, Crime, Money, Sex,

      $22.99

      Dark Traffic is the book that ushers the public into the next phase of anti-trafficking efforts to stop what has evolved into a $150 billion industry involving a complex network of organized crime trafficking sex, labor, and human organs. As co-founder and CEO of Dark Watch, author Noel Thomas has led United States law enforcement and the judicial system into the new battleground, where high-tech data analysis is changing how criminals are caught and prosecuted. Dark Traffic arrives on a new wave of media attention and actions at the federal, state, and local government levels, and informs readers how they can play a role in identifying and helping stop trafficking that occurs in their own neighborhood. Noel’s story of how he became aware of the issue is proof. The trafficking game has changed drastically, and Dark Traffic will change all our perceptions of trafficking.

      “Dark Traffic was written first, to provide information. The public desperately needs to have a clear and accurate understanding of the problem we’re facing, since it threatens people, we love. Second, Noel hopes this book makes people angry, because anger focused in the right direction is a powerful tool for change(?). We ought to be angry when young people are being destroyed. And third, he wants to dispel the myth that one person can’t do very much. Mass movements are made up of lots of “one persons” who come together to become one massive force for good.”

Vives con Cristo en tu memoria y andas en el espiritu mientras ves dia a dia tu renovacion mental a traves de la vida de Cristo en ti. El objetivo final es que seas luz para todos.

You begin by receiving from God His divine capacity, the courage of Christ, and an extraordinary provision in everything, spiritual and physical. He becomes your inner guide and gives you His strength and resources; He renews you with His light so that you may be the light of others. What is the purpose of it? May you manage and share everything that God gives you, and “spend” it on human beings, so what you receive from Him is multiplied and you can continue giving it away. You live with Christ in your memory and walk in the Spirit as you see, day by day, your mental renewal through the life of Christ in you. The final goal is that you be a light for everyone.

    • Job

      $69.99

      “But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?”

      The book of Job is challenging. Its Hebrew is often obscure, its length and subject matter are intimidating, and its meaning has been debated throughout the history of biblical interpretation. In this commentary, Duane A. Garrett presents a fresh argument for the book’s meaning. Job demonstrates the inability of Wisdom, as a theological tradition, to solve the problem of evil. Without rejecting Wisdom, it shows that only God can truly deal with evil. God’s answer to evil is found only in Christ, who is anticipated in the book of Job.

      The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series is a premiere biblical commentary rooted in the original text of Scripture.

    • Organizational Behavior In Christian Perspective

      $27.99

      Organizational behavior is an important and growing field in leadership and management studies, yet it has been largely overlooked by leaders of churches and other Christian ministries. Franklin Markow, who has been teaching leadership and organizational studies for 25 years, believes a comprehensive understanding of organizational behavior is essential for effective leadership. This introduction to the topic accounts for the unique dynamics of Christian organizations, gives theological foundations, and provides key insights and guidance to those studying or practicing leadership in churches and ministries.

      Markow proposes and explains organizational behavior using a comprehensive “Five-Level Model,” which encompasses the 1) individual, 2) interpersonal, 3) group, 4) organizational, and 5) interorganizational perspectives of organizations. Readers will gain a better understanding of their organization and how people relate to it and to one another. The goal is to help people and organizations thrive and fulfill their God-given missions. Besides utilizing seminal and current sources from the field of organizational studies, Markow draws on interviews with senior-level leaders in churches and nonprofits for fresh and ministry-focused insights. Each chapter includes review questions, case studies, further reading suggestions, and current issue sidebars, making it a perfect textbook for college or seminary leadership classes. It is also a helpful resource for those in church administration and for all leaders who want to broaden their perspective and improve their practice.

    • Blurred Cross : A Writer’s Difficult Journey With God

      $21.99

      In early 2022, esteemed New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham nearly lost his ability to read–an alarming prospect for a man who considers reading, writing, and scholarly work to be his vocation from God. Despite it being one of the most difficult times of his life, it was also a period in which Bauckham felt closest to God.

      In this beautifully written book, Bauckham combines memoir, theological and biblical reflection, and poetry to offer profound insight into God’s providence amid life’s difficulties. He discusses relevant aspects of his earlier life, delves into the time when his eyesight began to deteriorate, and reflects on issues that arose during that period. The book also includes generous amounts of Bauckham’s own poetry.

      Throughout his experience, Bauckham maintained a close relationship with God and drew nearer to him. His journey with God during this time led him to contemplate God’s purpose for his life and how he can live in a way that reflects his overwhelming sense of gratitude. He shares his story as a way of encouraging others in their own unique walk with God.

    • Becoming By Beholding

      $27.99

      We tend to think of the imagination as the realm of fantasy and makebelieve. However, the imagination shapes our vision of reality in that the stories, symbols, and places that capture our hearts become part of who we are.

      Becoming by Beholding restores the imagination to its central role in spiritual formation by recovering key works from the Christian tradition, enabling us to experience the formative power of the imagination for ourselves. It also revives “the art of fashioning the soul” as an essential aspect of Christian spiritual formation and character development.

      Lanta Davis explains that many of the problems at the heart of the Christian church today–such as nationalism, consumerism, and partisan politics–stem from a crisis of the imagination. She encourages us to reorient our gaze from diseased cultural forms and fix our eyes instead on works from the historic Christian imaginative tradition that better reflect the love, joy, and wonder of the gospel.

      Becoming by Beholding will appeal to professors and students in spiritual formation, worldview, and theology and arts courses as well as to all Christian readers interested in the intersection of theology and art. Each chapter introduces a different work of the Christian imagination: icons, sacred architecture, imaginative prayer, bestiaries, and personifications of the virtues and vices. The book also includes a twenty-page insert featuring numerous full-color images.
