5 Assumptions About God And Why They Are Wrong
$14.99Add to cartThe Heart and Mind series is a collection of written works directed toward the heart and mind of the millennial generation.
Who is God? Is He angry and aggressive? Maybe He’s just interested in punishing people. Does He care for the weak, sick, and protect children from bad dreams? Or perhaps, He’s a genie who gives us everything we want if we believe in Him enough. Does God really hate homosexuals and Muslims? What is God like? How does He view me? What does He want me to do?
To understand the mind of God we must first understand His heart. Suppose God actually loves us and wants what is best for us. How might this affect our understanding of God and our openness to follow Him?
Jesus teaches many hard and sometimes confusing things… in the Heart and Mind series, we’re starting by looking at 5 Assumptions About God and Why They Are Wrong. This journey will allow us to put aside our preconceived ideas about God and listen to Jesus’ own words as we explore what is actually in the heart and mind of God.

Liked : Whose Approval Are You Living For
$14.99Add to cartThe purpose of life is to point to Jesus, not ourselves. We discover our best life possible when we passionately pursue God’s approval.
Deep down, we all want to be liked. We want to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that our life matters. So we look for ways to prove our importance and self-worth. We rely on numbers to tell us how we’re doing, how many followers we attract on social media, how many “likes” we get on a post, or how many parties we’re invited to.
But even when a new personal high is reached, the joy is temporary. It’s short-lived and fleeting. As our joy fades, self-doubt returns, and once again we feel that familiar urge to prove ourselves. We start a new quest to show we’re a Somebody because secretly, we fear we may be a Nobody.
Liked will help girls understand how to channel their talents and energies into things with eternal value and, in the process, find the love, friendships, confidence, and strength of character they desire. They will see that true identity is God-based, and that it is a pure and wonderful identity filled with Christ’s love.

Pursuit Of Holiness
$17.99Add to cartThis new edition replaces both The Pursuit of Holiness (ISBN 9781576839324) and the study guide (ISBN 9781576839881) by combining both resources into one volume!
“Be holy, for I am holy,” commands God. But holiness is something that is often missed in the Christian’s daily life. According to Navigator author Jerry Bridges, that’s because we’re not exactly sure what our part in holiness is. In The Pursuit of Holiness, he helps us see clearly just what we should rely on God to do-and what we should take responsibility for ourselves. As you deepen your relationship with God, learn more about His character, and understand the Holy Spirit’s role in holiness, your spiritual growth will mature.The included study guide contains 12 lessons.

Guarded By Christ
$13.99Add to cartHeather Holleman once lived a fragile life, a prisoner to fear, anxiety, and despair. Like many younger women, she knew Jesus, but she wasn’t strong in Him. Instead, she lived a high-maintenance, easily unsettled life, seeking comfort but never finding it. One day, while reading a simple statement in Scripture,”God guards the lives of his faithful ones” (Psalm 97:10), Heather began to examine this word guards. And it changed her life.
In Guarded by Christ: Knowing the God Who Rescues and Keeps Us, Heather guides women through a series of practical mental shifts that will allow them to live strong in the Lord. Learn how in Jesus, you are:
*Guarded by righteousness instead of condemnation
*Guarded by peace instead of anxiety
*Guarded by hope instead of despair
*Guarded by the Holy Spirit’s power instead of self-effort
*Guarded by a crucified life instead of a self-important oneBy examining the beautiful and overlooked verb guards, Heather mentors women toward the kind of maturity in Christ that prepares them not just to endure anything, but to thrive, living from the strength and peace of Jesus in every season. Most importantly, readers will reconnect with the Savior who rescues and keeps them tightly in His loving grip.

Humble Roots : How Humility Grounds And Nourishes Your Soul
$12.99Add to cartFind abundant life in a humble life.
A lot of books these days are trying to diagnose our discontentment-too busy, too distracted, too hard on ourselves, too (fill-in-the-blank).
While many of us could do to simplify, peace is not about productivity or saying no or any other external. It’s about saying yes to our dependence on God. This is what Humble Roots: How Humility Grounds and Nourishes Your Soul is all about.
Exploring Jesus’ “Come unto me” invitation, Philippians 2, and various texts from the Gospels, Hannah Anderson reveals:
*The cause, nature, and dangers of busyness and self-dependence
*The myriad benefits of humility
*What humility is (and isn’t), and why it’s essential to our identity
*How Christ modeled humility through His incarnation
*How humility plays out in our salvation and sanctification
*How to learn humility and walk in dependence on GodThe reason many of us feel so unsettled is that we are attempting to be something we were never intended to be-it’s an internal issue. We need to recover a theology of creaturehood that leads to true abundance, and Humble Roots is the perfect place to start.

Broken Way : A Daring Path Into The Abundant Life
$25.99Add to cartHow can it be? When we’re naked and ashamed and alone in our brokenness, Christ envelopes us with his intimate grace. When we’re rejected and abandoned and shattered beyond wanting, Jesus cups our face, “Come close, my Beloved.” When we’re dirty and tear-stained and despairing, Jesus Christ proposes undying, dying love: “All that you painfully are and are carrying-I’ll take. All that I perfectly am and have-is yours. Just take me.”
There is a wooing that washes our wounds. Falling into this intimacy with him is the one thing we pray to never recover from. This kind of intimacy can only be tasted and swallowed, and it burns a holy yes through our begging veins.
Am I willing to take all that I have, break and give to Him?
Because all that He is, He broke and gave to us.

God Is Good
$21.99Add to cartGod is better than we think…

“God is good.” More than a positive thought, theological concept or Biblical statement-what you do with these three words defines your reality and determines your destiny.

Divine Dance : The Trinity And Your Transformation
$23.99Add to cartThe Trinity is supposed to be the central, foundational doctrine of our entire Christian belief system, yet we’re often told that we shouldn’t attempt to understand it because it is a “mystery.” Should we presume to try to breach this mystery? If we could, how would it transform our relationship with God and renew our lives?
The word Trinity is not found in the New Testament-it wasn’t until the third century that early Christian father Tertullian coined it-but the idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus’ life and teachings and from the very beginning of the Christian experience.
In the pages of this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this most paradoxical idea as he explores the nature of God-circling around being an apt metaphor for this mystery we’re trying to apprehend. Early Christians who came to be known as the “Desert Mothers and Fathers” applied the Greek verb perichoresis to the mystery of the Trinity. The best translation of this odd-sounding word is dancing. Our word choreography comes from the same root. Although these early Christians gave us some highly conceptualized thinking on the life of the Trinity, the best they could say, again and again, was, Whatever is going on in God is a flow-it’s like a dance.
But God is not a dancer-He is the dance itself. That idea might sound novel, but it is about as traditional as you can get. God is the dance itself, and He invites you to be a part of that dance. Are you ready to join in?

Falling Free : Rescued From The Life I Always Wanted
$16.99Add to cartShannan Martin had the best life she could imagine. She lived with her husband and three adorable kids in a cute little farmhouse on six rambling acres and had enough money, plenty of friends, a great church, and a safe, happy existence. Then the bottom dropped out when they lost their jobs and God called them to something radically different. Their world shifted to a small house on the other side of the urban tracks, an income on life support, failing local schools, and the county jail (where her husband is chaplain). And yet their plunge from “nice, safe, and happy” was the best thing that ever happened to them. Falling Free chronicles the Martin family’s pilgrimage from the faulty, me-centric wisdom of this world to the topsy-turvy life of God’s more being found in the less, challenging readers to rethink their own assumptions about faith and the good life. Anyone who yearns for something beyond status quo, middle-class Christianity but hesitates out of insecurity or safety concerns will find encouragement, food for thought, and practical guidance in this sweetly subversive book.

From Footmen To Horsemen
$19.99Add to cartDr. James Brewton has described in detail here a process or progression in spiritual maturity, from salvation to discipleship to leadership. Anyone who has ever served on a sports team, a corporate team, or in the military, knows that teamwork requires discipline, focused effort, humility, honor, respect for authority and character development. It is no different in living life as a Christian. It’s time to become the army of God and the bride of Christ, not just the body of Christ. Make yourself ready Church. You are God’s answer and solution and wisdom to the world’s woes. It’s time to shine even brighter as the darkness increases.
It’s not too late Church! Both the world and the Kingdom of God need and deserve your best. Jesus set the example, and modeled transformation for us. He purchased our freedom and redemption and victory and inheritance with His own blood, and His own life. He gave His best; we can do no less. The Church is God’s only plan for the earth; there is no Plan B. We have everything we need to get the job done, so it’s time to stop making excuses and feeling sorry for ourselves. As warriors and championship-winning teams know, the best defense is a good offense. It’s time the Church plays offense again.

Way Of Perfection
$18.99Add to cartAlthough Teresa of Avila lived five centuries ago, her superbly inspiring classic on the practice of prayer is as fresh and meaningful today as it was when she first wrote it. Teresa’s deep desire throughout is to teach a deep and lasting love of prayer beginning with a treatment of the three essentials of the prayer-filled life-fraternal love, detachment from created things, and true humility. Her teachings are not lofty speculation but come from the fruit of her practical experience. The next section develops these ideas and brings the reader directly to the subjects of prayer and contemplation. Teresa then gives various maxims for the practice of prayer and leads to the topic that occupies the balance of the book-a detailed and inspiring commentary on the Lord’s Prayer.

Break Loose : Find Freedom From Toxic Traps And Spiritual Bondage
$16.99Add to cartEvery Christian gets stuck. But not every Christian needs to stay stuck.With a lively voice and real-world experience, Bishop Bloomer encourages the believer to break loose from the chains of bad habits and hurtful attitudes. In short, forceful chapters bursting with biblical support, he tackles everything from fear to debt, to depression, addiction, sickness, anxiety, bad relationships, and more. But the focus of Break Loose is not these negative issues, but rather the positive reality: abundant freedom in Christ. Bloomer advocates an outward-facing faith that relies on God’s healing of self to provide healing to others in the church, neighborhood, and community, setting off a chain reaction of freedom, forgiveness, and love that will have an eternal impact.

Daily Decrees For Accessing Abundance
$14.99Add to cart“You will decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.” Job 22:28 AMP
In centuries past, a king would issue a decree from his throne and that decree would become law throughout his kingdom. In the Bible, God operates the same way. The body of Christ must break out of a just-get-by, poverty-ridden mentality if the church is going to win the world to Jesus. There is a life of abundance prosperity, health, and favor available to every believer when they decree the Word of God over their lives. This is what Joshua Fowler calls the “decree dimension,” a level of spiritual dominion that every believer should operate within. In, Fowler invites you to discover the power of Job 22 by entering into a 22-day decree challenge. Learn what decrees are and how they work. Then experience twenty-two specific daily decrees-each with supporting Scripture and a journaling section-that will impact your life and change the world.

Receive Your Miracle Now
$18.99Add to cartJesus brought people into direct contact with the power and authority of God. Every healing and miracle revealed the glory of God and the reality of His kingdom. Jesus gave the disciples authority to exercise this realm of God’s kingdom. He commanded the disciples to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, to heal the sick, and deliver the oppressed.
Receive Your Miracle Now presents a strong argument for the legitimacy of a Christian healing ministry in today’s church. By studying key passages of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments, examining the thread of healing throughout church history, and presenting a theological basis for healing and deliverance ministry, Bob Sawvelle demonstrates that through the healing gifts Jesus is glorified, the sick are healed, the oppressed are freed, and God’s kingdom advances in the earth.

Unmasking The Accuser
$16.99Add to cartWhen was the last time a Christian hurt you?
The demonic trio of slander, gossip, and offense has gained huge momentum both in our society and in the church. They ruin marriages, relationships, destroy churches, and discredit those in spiritual leadership. Even worse, instead of fighting them, believers daily aid these spirits. And daily, other believers fall victim. The church’s main problem today is a lack of love, forgiveness, and unity.
Satan’s favorite lie is that spiritual attacks always come from outside-that Christians can’t hurt each other. But when Pastor Kynan Bridges rips the mask off of the accuser, the truth is revealed: Satan’s spirits of slander, gossip, and offense are determined to tear the kingdom apart, and they use believers to do it-leading to bitterness and spiritual disease.
With a careful study of the Word of God, Pastor Kynan shows a way out. In this book, you will learn how to:
*Recognize the devastation of slander
*Identify the satanic nature of gossip
*Avoid the temptation to be hurt and offended
*Release those who have wounded you
*Use love and forgiveness as a powerful weapon to walk in victory over the enemy, the accuser of the brethren. -
Cosmic Initiative : Restoring The Kingdom Igniting The Awakening
$19.99Add to cartJesus never said “Seek first” about any pursuit or purpose except the kingdom of God. But the church has essentially abandoned this central message, so that kingdom realities have become lost to us. Our neglect has been costly, because God’s kingdom on earth; His cosmic initiative; has the authority and power to revolutionize our culture. This transformation occurs first within us and then around us, igniting the world with forgiveness, healings, miracles, righteousness, and peace.The reason most people today do not seek the kingdom is that they have not seen it. Once they truly see it, they seek and follow the remarkable vision they have glimpsed. This is because discovering the kingdom is not just information but an adventure in revelation and transformation.
Well-known speaker and kingdom-seeker Jack Taylor invites us to be reintroduced to the kingdom of God and to experience the recovery of the kingdom gospel leading to kingdom power, kingdom love, and the greatest kingdom harvest the world has ever seen.

Power In Prayer
$14.99Add to cartGod loves to answer prayer, and Scripture teaches that it is a simple thing to see answered prayer in our own lives. Charles Spurgeon’s classic writings tackle the fears and questions that arise as we learn to pray. His time-tested, hard-hitting teachings will clear the way for you to experience true faith and the power of answered prayer. Spurgeon discusses God’s promise to hear our prayers, the humility of pleading prayer, and our position before God’s throne of grace. Every believer can, and should, have a life marked by answered prayer. Charles Spurgeon will lead you to the place where life begins-a place of true communion with God.

Greatest Thing In The World
$14.99Add to cartA Timeless Classic
One Sunday evening, D. L. Moody and friends were gathered around a fire. Some guests urged Moody to expound on some portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, he gruffly told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was also present. After some urging, Drummond finally produced a small New Testament from his hip pocket, opened it to the thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians and, without any notes, began to speak on the subject of love. Moody said, “It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principles of my schools to have it read before the students every year.
“Over the decades, this teaching has become one of the best-loved and most inspiring messages on love ever written. Other writings of Drummond in this unique collection include:
The Program of Christianity
The City Without a Church
The Changed Life
Pax Vobiscum (Peace with You)
Eternal LifeThrough this dynamic message, we can experience the beauty of lasting love in all its fullness and learn how to bring God’s peace and joy to those around us

10 Greatest Struggles Of Your Life
$14.99Add to cartEvery day is full of struggles…
We struggle with time, with truth, with authority… with finding peace, purity, and contentment… with our words, thoughts, and actions-and that’s just the beginning! Does God speak to us about these daily tests? Is there hope in the struggle?
The answer, of course, is yes-but where God speaks about them may surprise you.
With his exceptional ability to open up Scripture, author Colin Smith leads you to a fuller understanding of the Ten Commandments and their relevance to the struggles of your life. You will learn that when you love God fully and unconditionally, His commandments no longer seem the impossible rules of a dictator, but the firm guidance of a loving father, setting you on the path to the rich life He desires for you, His child.
Pastor Colin Smith, author of Unlock the Bible in 30 Days and the Unlocking the Bible Story series, presents a powerful argument that these ancient commands are not only relevant to modern life, but also help us better understand how to overcome and prevent many of the battles we face.

Blessing Of Humility
$14.99Add to cartWe all admire humility when we see it. But how do we practice it? How does humility?the foundational virtue of the normal Christian life?become a normal part of our everyday lives?
Jerry Bridges sees in the Beatitudes a series of blessings from Jesus, a pattern for humility in action. Starting with poverty in spirit?an acknowledgment that in and of ourselves we are incapable of living holy lives pleasing to God?and proceeding through our mourning over personal sin, our hunger and thirst for righteousness, our experience of persecutions large and small, and more, we discover that humility is itself a blessing: At every turn, God is present to us, giving grace to the humble and lifting us up to blessing.

Walking To Jerusalem
$21.99Add to cartSmall beginnings. Detours along the way. Questions about how and when God is going to fulfill His purposes. We know the end of David’s story, but David only knew it step by step. Like us, he had to follow God’s path even when it seemed too slow. He had to believe that realizing our life’s purpose is only the beginning of our calling, not the culmination of it. He had to trust that God sometimes allows years to go by between an anointing and a crown.
In Walking to Jerusalem, Dr. Chris Hill travels through the twelve cities that shaped David’s life and explores what those places mean in light of God’s calling to us. Dr. Hill also walks with us through the “cities” in his own remarkable story. Along the way, you will discover, or reawaken, your own unique calling. You will more fully understand the places you have already traveled, become attuned to the spiritual city where God has you now, and be better equipped for where God is leading you.
Walking to Jerusalem reminds us that where we start does not determine where we end up. Each step we take is a part of who we will become. So journey with David from his Bethlehem beginnings to his Jerusalem home. Discover with this shepherd boy that destiny is never just a destination. It’s a process God uses to shape who He has called us to be.

Demon Hit List
$14.99Add to cartIdentifying the enemy is the key to casting him out!
John Eckhardt has created the ultimate deliverance thesaurus to help believers know the specific names and attributes of demons so they can become more successful in casting them out.
We fear the unknown, but there is power in identification. The demons unmasked in this thesaurus are well aware that they are subject to the name of Jesus, the name above every name! By identifying demons, the believer strips them of their power and exhibits Christ’s authority over every demon name.
Don’t run from the devil; begin casting out the enemy and stand victorious with Jesus Christ!

Restoring Your Vision
$16.99Add to cartThe story of Blind Bartimaeus offers hope. Scripture often says Jesus was ‘moved with compassion.’ This miracle, and many others, were demonstrations of love. They were statements that:
* People have value.
* God is good.
* He cares about us.Bartimaeus’ story is a moving drama of how God cares about humanity. It is more than just a blind man who recovered his sight. In this story God reveals something about His nature and character, and His path to our wholeness.
Like the opening melody of a great musical score, this story gives way to layers of truths that God has built into the text. With each line there is a new stanza that builds upon the previous melody. In the end, a grand chorus climaxes to a tremendous crescendo.
Two basic lessons apply.
First, the underlying concept or truth that is the basis for this story. God wants us to know:
* Something about Him.
* Something about us.
* Something about life.Second, like the ‘movements’ of a great musical masterpiece, these truths build with each new verse.
In the end, we see a series of basic steps whereby we can regain our vision and become whole.

Half Truths (Student/Study Guide)

The cliches include: Everything happens for a reason. God helps those who help themselves. God won’t give you more than you can handle. God said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Longing In Me
$22.99Add to cartDoes the search for fulfillment have you going around in circles? You’re probably looking in all the wrong places.
Do you feel like you keep coming to the same prickly points in life over and over again? You vowed you’d never repeat the same mistakes, yet you find yourself right back where you started. Didn’t you learn all you had to learn the last time?

Now, liberated from the fear and regret that once kept her silent, Sheila comes forward with The Longing in Me, in which she speaks about the trials of that difficult period for the first time.

Habits Of Grace
$21.99Add to cartThe Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows-making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity-and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Take Heed : Strategies To Endure In Life And Ministry
$14.99Add to cartWritten to catch our attention, Take Heed exposes the schemes of the enemy. Believers today are deceiving themselves and planning how to sin and be clever. Then they are shocked when everything falls apart. The foundation laid by our forefathers has been left behind as we claim to have knowledge and information yet the devil still comes and eats our lunch. Pastor Rathod uses examples from the Old Testament such as Samson, Saul, David, Daniel and Joseph to reveal the bait used by Satan to attack each of these men in a specific way based on their area of weakness. He also uses the example of Jesus who was able to resist the schemes of the devil and overcome the enemy. The devil is like a roaring lion at the waterhole. He knows us and our weaknesses. But like a splash of cold water in the face – it’s time we take heed.
