Sacred Science : Understanding Divine Creation
$35.00If you review of the impulses that created the universe, directed the unfolding of life, and empowered human consciousness you reach an undeniable conclusion: an omnipotent Creator supervised the unfolding of our universe.
From the moment of creation to the emergence of a planet tailor-made for life, from the journey of multi-million species to the development of an upright creature hungry for God, science tells a sacred story: a superintelligent Creator used His mathematical genius to convert lifeless equations into galaxies, planets, and people. His love has been visible throughout the process.
Could our journey reflect thousands of random accidents with no divine guidance? Creation delivered impulses that filled the universe with galaxies and stars. Eliminate any one of those blueprints and the universe would have been stillborn.
Stars produced a perfect mix of elements to bring the universe to life. Without a robust ensemble of gene and protein sequences, life might still be living at the bottom of the sea.
Hundreds of human genes convert the neurons of a human infant into trillions of networks in an adult brain. Without those God-given genes, a dangerous world may have left us trapped in the treetops with no interest in science at all. But God shared His mind and triggered the emergence of human consciousness.
Where do we find ourselves after centuries of that scientific searching? We see that science reflets its source. Science is a gift of God’s creative love, and is nothing less than sacred!

Spiritual Game Plan
$14.99Millions of us love sports–playing, supporting, watching. But have you ever thought about how your love for sports connects with your love for Jesus?
Some of us feel a bit guilty for loving sports so much, especially when there are so many other ways in which we could be using our time to serve God. Others see it simply as a great way to share the gospel (while having fun). And many of us have never really thought about it at all!
This book will show you what the Bible says. You’ll discover a more liberating approach than feeling a bit guilty, a deeper approach than seeing sports as only an evangelistic opportunity, and a better approach than not linking your faith and your love of sports at all.
Starting with asking why God created sports in the first place, Spiritual Game Plan explores how the gospel impacts and transforms the way we think and play. You’ll discover how to enjoy sports even more as you let God shape your perspective, and you’ll see how he can use your sports to grow and shape you as his follower.
Includes lots of stories from elite to everyday athletes, as well as chapters on specific topics such as sports on Sundays. In addition to teaching for athletes, there is advice for parents, coaches, and fans.
A great gift for Christians who love sports as well as a useful resource for sports ministries, including summer camps and Christian teams.

Somethingism : Exploring Our Sense Of More
$14.99Most of us have a sense that there may be more out there than only what we can see or touch–not necessarily a God but something. You could call this intuition “somethingism.” Some who believe this would also say they are “spiritual but not religious.”
This book offers those with this sense of belief in “something” the opportunity to begin to explore faith. Imaginative and thoughtful chapters consider the possibility that the sense of something out there correlates to a someone who not only exists but can be encountered and known in the person of Jesus.
A fresh approach to evangelism that particularly resonates with younger generations, this book is great to read individually, with a friend, or over four sessions in a group. There are questions to fuel reflection and discussion.

Care : Loving Your Church By Walking Through Life Together
$16.99Jesus commands his disciples to love one another and promises that “by this everyone will know that you are my disciples” (John 13:35). But what does genuine care for those in our church family look like?
This warm, practical book by Dwayne Bond goes beyond specific pastoral-care roles and responsibilities, and explores how all church members can love and care for one another in the rhythms of ordinary life.
In response to Jesus’ great love for us and the example he set, readers will explore how to honor one another, serve one another and bear each other’s burdens, as they seek to walk together as a family in the midst of a divided culture. They will see that following Jesus’ command to love one another deeply and practically will bring great joy as well as commending the gospel to those around them, as people see lives changed from the inside out.
This wonderful resource is not only a useful tool for church care teams but for every church member as each is encouraged to play his or her part in making people feel cared for and connected to the church family.
There are discussion questions with action steps at the end of every chapter, making this book ideal to read as a small group or even as a whole church. Bulk deals and free downloadable worksheets are available.
This is one of the books in the new Love Your Church series, which is being written by a collection of Bible teachers from Acts29. It is designed to inspire every church member to love their church in practical ways by casting a biblical vision of what it means to be a local community of God’s family. The series will explore what it means to belong, to welcome, to gather, to care, to serve and to honor one another, and to witness and send people out to spread the gospel. Choose the resources that cover the areas most helpful to your particular church-family needs.

Bearing Witness : What The Church Can Learn From Early Abolitionists
$27.99In an era when the label “evangelical” is hotly contested and often entangled with political agendas, Daniel Lee Hill’s Bearing Witness offers a timely reexamination of what it means to live out the gospel in public life.
Drawing on the rich legacy of nineteenth-century abolitionists David Ruggles, Maria W. Stewart, and William Still, Hill constructs a compelling evangelical framework for public witness, anchored in Scripture and the practice of lament and burden-bearing. Hill challenges evangelicals to rediscover their roots in a tradition that speaks powerfully to contemporary debates over church, culture, and the call to social justice.
Bearing Witness will be an indispensable guide for professors, students, pastors, and laypeople committed to a faith that speaks to the public square.
