Kingdom Of Cain
$29.99

How can we “rejoice always” when the world often seems so broken? Andrew Klavan explores how artists’ imaginative engagement with the darkness can point the way to living beautifully in the midst of a tragic world.

In his USA Today bestselling The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it.

The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history–including the first murder, Cain’s killing of his brother, Abel–and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock. To make beauty out of the world as it is–shot through with evil and injustice and suffering–is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived. Examining how that transformation occurs in art grants us a vision for how it can happen in our lives.

Klavan eloquently argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God’s ability to redeem it all.

Courage To Change
$29.00

Change is inevitable. And sometimes it’s confusing and difficult, even when it’s good. We can’t keep change from coming, but we can allow it to transform us rather than derail us by facing it and embracing it through the lens of God’s unchanging promises to us.

We’ve all heard the saying, “The only constant is change.” Sometimes the changes we face, both expected and unexpected, can make our lives feel ungrounded and unsteady. And when we react to change with fear, an opportunity for growth can turn into overwhelming anxiety that locks us into situations, relationships, and ways of thinking and being that prevent us from living in the fullness of who we truly are in Christ.

Beloved Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer wants us to know that even when we feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, we can stand firm on the promise of God’s Word that He will see us through. With her signature insight and timeless wisdom, Joyce shows us how to align our emotional reactions to changes with the truth of God’s promise that He will work all changes for good in our lives, even the most painful and difficult ones. In The Courage to Change, you will learn how to:

*Embrace change as a necessary part of growth
*Replace a mindset of fear with a mindset of opportunity
*And live fully within the uncertainty of change while maintaining peace.

We will all face changes again and again throughout our lifetimes. We don’t have to live dreading the challenges that these changes bring. We can equip ourselves to become people of bravery, optimism, and hope in an ever-changing world, because we have God’s assurance that His character and His promises will never change.

Become a change warrior and embrace the courage to change.

The Courage to Change also contains study questions at the end of each chapter for individual or group reflection.

Balancing The Christian Life
$16.99

Genuine and wholesome spirituality is the goal of all Christian living. It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?

Perhaps the principle may be, but living by the principle is another matter altogether. In Balancing the Christian Life, Charles Ryrie reminds you that “the Bible must be the guide and test for all our experiences in the spiritual life . . . and if any experience fails to pass that test, it must be discarded.” He warns that “an unbalanced application of the doctrines related to spirituality will result in an unbalanced Christian life.”

Ryrie examines numerous key issues of spirituality, including:

*The old and the new life
*Sanctification
*Using your gifts
*Routine faithfulness
*Wiles of the devil
*Temptation
*Confession
*Forgiveness

For more than forty years, Balancing the Christian Life has been changing lives worldwide. Take time to read this classic study and allow it to change yours.

Impacting Generations : How Ordinary People Can Influence The Future Of Nat
$16.99

The Body of Christ today doesn’t understand a crucial aspect of the Abrahamic covenant: we have a calling, gifting, and command to influence places and people in authority in order to impact culture with Kingdom values. Christians are called to bless all nations and we have divine power within us to impact nations. The book will address the difference between prayer and intercession as well as the impact of God’s permissive and perfect will on how we pray.

Christians often misunderstand their role in their nation and in impacting the leadership of their nation. As a result, many Christians have forfeited being salt and light in their culture and nation. This is the result of an effective demonic strategy to sideline the Church. This book will encourage and empower Christians to fulfill their calling to impact nations.

Instrument Of Peace
$14.99

Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace.

Thus begins the beloved prayer of the Italian friar Saint Francis of Assisi, which well expresses his sentiments as a preacher of peace, love, and unity.

Author and anti-apartheid activist Alan Paton drew upon the Prayer of Saint Francis to write Instrument of Peace (originally titled Instrument of Thy Peace) while his wife Dorrie lay dying of emphysema.

Among many others, Paton said he wrote this book for those:

*Who wish with all their hearts to be better, purer, less selfish, more useful

*Who do not wish to be cold in love, and who know that being cold in love is perhaps the worst sin of them all

*Who wish to keep their faith bright and burning in a dark and faithless world

*Who seek not so much to lean on God as to be the active instrument of His peace

“Sometimes we cannot pray because we are fallen into a melancholy and therefore have for the time lost our hope and our faith and have no one to pray to,” Paton wrote. “I am in unrepayable debt to Francis of Assisi, for when I pray his prayer, or even remember it, my melancholy is dispelled, my self-pity comes to an end, my faith is restored, because of this majestic conception of what the work of a disciple should be.”

Jesus Shaped Life
$26.99

When many of us hear the word theology, we conjure up visions of stuffy old guys in dark clothing, scratching a pen across paper (or maybe a quill across parchment!) and assume that it’s not for us. But at its most basic, theology is just words ( logos) about God ( theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important part of our lives–our good, loving, and grace-filled God.

With her signature style and humor, bestselling Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-changing conversation. She makes theology fun, practical, and applicable, explaining how academic-sounding concepts–such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more–are actually daily realities that make an enormous difference in how we live our lives, how we treat other people, and how we understand our own relationship to our Creator.

If you want to grow closer to God and take a more active role in your community of faith, it’s time to take your understanding of God to the next level with sound theology rooted in Scripture. Let Lisa be your (very entertaining) guide!
