$15.99Add to cartMary is ordinary girl from Nazareth.

Kept For The Masters Use
$14.99Add to cart“Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.”Many believers are familiar with the hymn “Take My Life and Let It Be” but few know the story or author behind it. In this book, the hymnwriter, Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879), shares the thoughts and experience behind the worship classic.
Line by line, Havergal takes the reader through the hymn, explaining thematically what it means to live, day by day, as one submitted to Christ. Despite a lifetime battling chronic pain, Havergal rejoiced in a life consecrated to her Master.
Although written more than one hundred years ago, Havergal’s words are still relevant because Christ’s call for complete devotion-of hands, feet, voice, mind, emotions, and livelihood-is unchanged. Perfect as an inspirational study or for personal devotions, Kept for the Master’s Use is an emboldening call to live a life fully consecrated to Jesus Christ.

Sovereignty Of God
$25.00Add to cartIn this classic work on the sovereignty of God, A. W. Pink explains how His sovereignty is characterized in creation and salvation, and then he describes its relationship to human will. Finally, Pink addresses the proper attitude believers should take towards God’s sovereignty, and how to overcome obstacles in doing so. Pink was a student of theologians like St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards, and his writing reflects many of their views. Ultimately, however, Pink believed that true faith rests “not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

Rapture Of The Saints
$14.99Add to cartIf you knew that within the next twenty-four hours Christ would return, according to His promise, are there any circumstances you would immediately change in the light of such a glorious event? Or are you living in such harmony with His will and purpose that no change of lifestyle would be necessary?
Legendary Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer examines what Scripture has to say about the Second Coming of the Lord, with an emphasis on the body of Christ being ready for Him when He returns. The saints must live their lives in readiness to meet the Lord at any moment. The question we should all ask is, “How am I going to live the rest of my time before Jesus comes?”
Lockyer address what both the Bible and scholars have to say about this event, and what it means for our lives today.

Sacred Secret
$13.99Add to cartHave you ever wondered how a person could just snap, taking their own life in the blink of an eye? Or considered the men and women who throw everything away in their lives that’s good, choosing rather to follow their addictions into anarchy and misery? What is the value of a life in today’s world?
The answers to these questions cannot be found in any office, nor are they provided through experience or old age. They cannot be bought for any price, and you certainly can’t learn about them in a classroom. The only place you will find this truth is from a time and place which exists outside of our three-dimensional world.
Understanding something that’s not fully explainable, and then believing in it, can be very difficult, but these walls of doubt are torn down in “The Sacred Secret.” The Holy Spirit and a much better life are waiting for you. I truly hope you seek this freedom.

Why Bother With Church
$7.99Add to cartIntroduction
1. Foundations: How To Consider Church
2. Life Changing: How To Attend Church
3. Running: How To Organize Church
4. Imperfect: How To Survive Church
5. Wonderful: How To Love Church
ConclusionAdditional Info
The church has an image problem.It is widely viewed in the world at large as being outdated, boring, irrelevant and filled with backbiting hypocrites.
How different that picture is to how the Bible talks about the new family that Jesus has gathered. It is a precious bride, a sparkling jewel, a lifeboat for forgiven sinners that is precious and holy; nurturing and warm; filled with truth, friendship and all embracing, forgiving love.
Sam Allberry understands the collision between these two views, and how, even as Christian believers, we can lose sight of how truly wonderful church is and should be, and what a privilege it is to be part of, and to serve.
In this brief accessible but thorough guide to church, Sam outlines what church is and why we need it. And how, when we have got it wrong, we can move closer to what a true church should be.

Zeal Without Burnout
$12.99Add to cartIntroduction
A Neglected Truth
Seven Keys
1. We Need Sleep
2. We Need Sabbath Rests
3. We Need Friends
4. We Need Nourishment
5. A Warning: Beware Celebrity
6. An Encouragement: It’s Worth It
7. A Delight: Rejoice In Grace Not Gifts
ConclusionAdditional Info
Lots of people who are involved in Christian ministry (whether paid or unpaid) find themselves having to step back from it. They have not lost their love for Christ, or their desire to serve him. But for one reason or another, they are exhausted and simply cannot carry on.Christopher Ash knows this experience all too well. As a pastor of a growing church, and then in his role training people for ministry, he has found himself on the edge of burnout a number of times, and has pastored many younger ministers who have reached the end of their tether.
His wisdom has been distilled into this short, accessible book, in which he reveals a neglected biblical truth and seven keys that flow from it. This practical and biblical guidance will help enthusiastic Christians gain the mindset and lifestyle to protect themselves from burnout and serve Jesus for the long term in a sustainable way.
Who is this book for? Here is Christopher’s answer from the introduction:
“I write for all zealous followers of Jesus. Perhaps especially for pastors and Christian leaders ~ to those entrusted with pastoral oversight under God. Some of us have the privilege of being set free from other jobs to devote ourselves to this work; others combine pastoral leadership with “normal” secular work. But I write also for the many keen Christian men and women who, in addition to “normal” life ~ busy jobs, parenthood, and so on ~ labor sacrificially to serve in their local churches. The young father holding down a pressured job but also teaching the church youth group. The unmarried woman bearing the weight of much responsibility in her workplace, but also heavily involved in pastoral support and care in her church. The older couple whose gifts and skills are in great demand both at work and in church. And many others like them.”Christopher brings to this important subject, not just a personal experience of burnout, but a keen eye to the Bible, and wise pastoral insight into the pressures many of us face as we live for Jesus.
From the foreword by Alistair BeggWhy not read Zeal without Burnout with others so that you can discuss the issues, spot the warning signs and keep each accountable? Our ministry pack is designed to make that easy and affordable to do.

10 Commandments : The Ten Commandments Are The Only Messages To Men That Go
$16.00Add to cartThe Ten Commandments are the only words that God wrote to man with His own hand. In fact, He wrote them out twice, and even spoke them aloud in the hearing of Israel.
In The Ten Commandments, Moody devotes a separate chapter to each commandment, with a concluding summary. His fervent belief was that the commandments are still God’s measure of obedience today. But they are more than a measuring stick; they are a signpost pointing fallen mankind toward the only One who was able to keep God’s law.
Moody’s teachings are still relevant to this day. His words still resonate just as they did in his large evangelical meetings where thousands of converts fell to their knees. He reminds us that Jesus came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it, and to become righteousness for all who believe.

On The Incarnation
$15.00Add to cartDuring the fourth century, controversy raged in the church regarding the nature of Jesus Christ. On one side were the Arians, led by the Bishop Arius, who argued that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were materially separate from one another. They believed that Jesus had been created out of “non-existence” and thus was not on the same level of divinity as God the Father. In response, Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, wrote On the Incarnation, a staunch defense of the full divinity and full humanity of Christ. In simple language and with Scripture as a guide, he argued for the eternal nature of the Trinity and that Jesus Christ is not a creation of God the Father but has existed from the very beginning. Athanasius celebrates the redeeming work that came forth through the God-man, Jesus Christ, and His eternal existence and essential unity with the Father.
Ultimately, Athanasius was exiled five times by four different Roman emperors due to his defense of the Trinity, but he remained faithful to his beliefs. Today, On the Incarnation is often included on lists of books every Christian should read.

Pray Your Way To Breakthroughs is to give the user’s prayer life a sharper focus. The Word of God says: “And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the tree: therefore, every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire” (Matthew 3:10). Those things that have seemed resistant to prayers may be so because the axe has not been laid to the root. Also, those recurring and stubborn problems that subside only to come back after a while may be because the axe was laid at the branches but not unto the root. -

Yet we need to remember, even as we seek to show Christ’s compassionate love, still to share Christ’s gospel truth.”Each session of Empowered opens with a short introduction from Becky before moving to an interactive group Bible study grounded in God’s word.

Unexpected Journeys : My Search For Adventure Love And Redemption On The Ot
$15.99Add to cartUnexpected Journeys is a spiritual memoir about a twenty-something who walks away from a hectic life and into a three-month adventure to the Asia-Pacific that both grabs his wonder and forces him inward to confront his deep-set fears, painful memories, and dark questions about himself, those closest to him, and God.
Paul’s travels take him from Bali to Thailand to India; from surfing to scooters to red light districts; from an anguished reunion with his brother, to a lonely isolation in paradise, to companionship from unlikely locals; from the extravagant love of an orphanage, to the end of a precious relationship.
On the journey, Paul gradually lowers his straight-A expectations of himself. God loosens his emotional stoicism, sets free his shame, and unclamps a visceral fear that anything-anything at all-could deaden his divine calling to thoroughly, beautifully live life.

Ministry Of Women
$25.00Add to cartThroughout the history of Christianity, the roles and responsibilities of women in ministry have been a hotly debated and highly controversial topic.
Questions abound…
*Should women be ordained?
*Can women serve as elders, pastors, and teachers in the church?
*What about women “usurping” authority over men?
*What about Paul’s teaching that women should be silent in church and be submissive and obedient to male leadership, both at home and in ministry?
*If God calls, equips, and anoints men or women for any area of ministry, who are we to resist His will?After years of study and research on the matter, long-time pastor and Bible teacher Kevin Conner addresses these questions and more as he fully deals with the role, function, and place of women in church life. He lays out the case for women functioning together with men as partners in the body of Christ. He supports women whom God has gifted for prophetic, teaching, evangelistic, and shepherding roles. He challenges assumptions and encourages both men and women to fulfill the will of God in the redeemed community-the church-as it carries out His will in the earth.

Imagine Heaven : Near Death Experiences Gods Promises And The Exhilarating (Repr
$16.99It’s obvious from the bookshelves and the big screen that heaven is on everyone’s mind. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. For decades, he has been studying accounts of people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors clearly point to the God of the Bible and the exhilarating picture of heaven he promises.
Imagine Heaven is an inspirational journey through the Bible’s picture of heaven, colored in with the real-life stories of heaven’s wonders. Burke compares gripping stories of NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will it look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? This book will propel readers into an experience that will forever change their view of the life to come and the way they live life today. It also tackles the tough questions of heavenly reward and hellish NDEs. Anyone interested in NDEs or longing to imagine heaven more clearly will enjoy this fascinating and hope-filled book.
