  Amidst Us Our Bleoved Stands

  $24.99

  When it comes to baptism and the Lord’s Supper, many Baptists reject the language of sacrament. As a people of the book, the logic goes, Baptists must not let tradition supersede the Bible. So Baptists tend to view baptism and Communion as ordinances and symbols, not sacraments.

  But the history of Baptists and the sacraments is complicated. In Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands, Michael A. G. Haykin argues that earlier Baptists, such as Charles Spurgeon, stood closer to Reformed sacramental thought than most Baptists today do. More than mere memorials, baptism and Communion have spiritual implications that were celebrated by Baptists of the past. Haykin calls for a renewal of sacramental life in churches today-Baptists can and should be sacramental.

  Humble Calvinism : And If I Know The Five Points, But Have Not Love…

  $15.99

  1. The Problem With Calvinists
  2. Humble Calvinism Is Not An Oxymoron
  3. Point One: Level Ground
  4. Point Two: Love, Regardless
  5. Point Three: Specific Service
  6. Point Four: The Family Business
  7. Point Five: Credit God
  8. We’re Calvinists Best When We Aren’t Calvinists First

  Additional Info
  Humble Calvinism is both a helpful summary of what Calvinism is, and a helpful challenge to those who are convinced Calvinists. It calls us to hold Calvinism in our hearts, not just in our heads, so that we are humble and gracious as well as zealous for the truth, to the praise and glory of Christ and his church.

  Author Jeff Medders admits that he is quick to defend Calvinism, but often slow to humbly love Christians who take a different view. His warm-hearted, challenging (and surprisingly witty) book takes readers through the the five points of Calvinism, revealing that a true understanding has a humbling effect on our hearts, fueling a love of Christ and his people that builds others up, rather than tearing them down.

  Joy Project : An Introduction To Calvinism With Study Guide (Expanded)

  $11.99

  True happiness is not found. It finds you.

  We think of our chase for joy as a fundamental right-and it’s no surprise. By nature we are pleasure-seekers, though chronically unsuccessful at finding the type of joy that will endure for more than a passing moment.

  But what if long-lasting joy isn’t found at all? What if the deepest and most durable happiness breaks into our lives, overcomes our boredom, and ultimately finds us? What if true joy is out of our reach, but reaches for us?

  (This updated edition now includes a Study Guide for each chapter.)

  Circles Of Sisterhood

  $24.99

  The saga of Mennonite women’s organizations is a story of struggle and triumph, productivity and misgivings, questions and celebrations. During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, women’s groups have offered Mennonite women a means of serving others by sewing clothing, laboring over quilts, rolling bandages, and packing school kits. Women’s groups have also provided Mennonite women the opportunity to test their skills as leaders and give voice to callings they felt in a church that has not always valued their gifts for ministry. In this vibrant portrait of Mennonite Women USA, Anita Hooley Yoder paints with both broad and subtle strokes the one-hundred-year history of an organization that nurtures local church women’s groups and connects Mennonite women across the world.

  History Of The Amish 3rd Edition

  $7.97

  The Amish, one of America s most intriguingly private, unique, and often misunderstood religious communities, have survived for three hundred years! How has that happened?

  While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings.

  Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements, the community s conflict and negotiation with government, the Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media s constant fascination with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance novels.

  Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people with dozens of illustrations and updated statistics.
  Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history–books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

  Amish : Why They Enchant Us

  $8.99

  The Amish are one of America’s most fascinating and colorful religious
  communities. But how does a traditional group that shuns high school,
  computers, and the ownership of motor vehicles survive amid a high tech
  society? This concise and authoritative overview describes both the
  diversity and common practices of the Amish of North America as well as some
  of the changes underway in their communities. In a lively text, Donald B.
  Kraybill, a leading scholar of Amish culture explains many of their puzzling
  practices and shows how the Amish flourish in the midst of modern society.

  Some interesting facts from The Amish: Why They Enchant Us:
  Many elderly Amish live in a Grossdawdy (grandparent) house or apartment
  adjacent to the homes of one of their adult children.

  Children in most Amish communities dress in similar styles to their parents.

  Amish churches have been established in some 200 communities in about 25
  states as well as in Ontario, Canada.

  In some ways, the Amish trouble us, even torment us. We worry that without
  modern technology, higher education, the latest fashions, and unfettered
  freedom, they might, in fact, be just as happy, if not happier than the rest
  of us. And so the Amish enchant and trouble us at the same time. They prod
  us to reflect on the sources of meaning and purpose, on the roots of human
  happiness.
