Ladies Hall : A Novel – Based On True Historical Events
$18.99The lives of real heroes prove this truth: equality is won when we rise together.
1880s, Ohio. When Mary and Anna enter the Bachelor of Arts program, also known as the “gentlemen’s course” of study, at Oberlin College, they have little in common other than the color of their skin and their passion for education.
While Mary was raised in luxury, attending presidential inaugurations with her wealthy father, Anna is a schoolteacher, likely the daughter of her enslaved mother’s former owner, and works a second job to pay for her room and board. But despite their differences, both women share strength, ambition, and a deep yearning for change. If they can bridge the gaps between them, they just might build a lasting legacy.
From its earliest days in the 1830s, Oberlin College admitted men and women, white and Black students. Though the doors are officially open, school policy cannot change the hearts of classmates who refuse to see a woman, and especially a Black woman, excel. Despite constantly being forced to prove themselves, the women triumphantly overcome every obstacle and push through their pain. And as the world evolves around them, Mary and Anna persevere to build a legacy of success and excellence.
Based on the real lives of Mary Church Terrell, Anna Julia Cooper, and Ida Gibbs Hunt, The Ladies Hall is a mirror into times of great change–where progress and new possibilities are met with violence and resistance . . . but hope always rises. And it rises still.

What Hath Justice To Do With Righteousness
$18.99Justice is God’s Righteousness in Action
Reclaim what was always meant to be whole. Justice and righteousness are not opposing forces but inseparable pillars of God’s design. But often our minds divide them, even set them in opposition to one another.
In What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness?, Rev. Dr. Charlie E. Dates provides a biblical and historical overview of the bond between these two pillars of the Christian faith that challenges our assumptions, renews our understanding, and invites us into a new movement of protest and prayer.
With biblical wisdom, theological reflection, and an honest critique of cultural blind spots, this book boldly declares that justice is God’s righteousness in action. True justice cannot exist apart from righteousness, and righteousness is hollow without a commitment to justice. God’s justice restores and reconciles. “When Jesus hung on a cross, God got justice, and we got righteousness.”
In What Hath Justice to Do with Righteousness? you will:
*Understand Justice Through a Biblical Lens: Explore how the Bible defines justice as an expression of God’s character and His kingdom purpose.
*Resist Systemic Injustice on Biblical Grounds: Learn how Scripture equips believers to stand against oppression and advocate for equity in society.
*Persevere in God’s Truth: Receive spiritual guidance and motivation to remain steadfast in the pursuit of God’s justice.
Dates challenges assumptions, exposes divisions, and delivers a call to action for both protest and prayer. Prepare to be called, inspired, and equipped to resist systemic injustice on biblical grounds and embody both justice and righteousness in every step you take. Are you ready to unite what the world seeks to divide?

Breaking Through : How Ordinary Believers Experience Extraordinary Freedom
$29.99It’s time to break through the walls that stand between you and Jesus. Popular YouTube apologist Allen Parr brings readers his most important message yet–a dynamic, provocative, and practical path to lasting spiritual freedom and a well-ordered life.
Jesus loves to set people free. So why do we feel stuck? Why do mental barriers, fear, bad habits, and toxic thoughts keep us trapped even as we search for Jesus’s abundant life? Author and apologist Allen Parr opens our eyes to why–and to how we can join Jesus in freedom, joy, and meaning.
We all struggle with barriers between us and God–but these barriers are different depending on our unique experiences, circumstances, and challenges. Some of us struggle with mental barriers–faith doesn’t make sense yet. Some deal with habitual sin. Others battle with past trauma or even dark spiritual experiences holding us in bondage. These strongholds need to be understood and met with simple, achievable strategies that fit each type of struggle. Then we will find the freedom to which we’ve been called.
Breaking Through equips us with strategies for finding joy-filled living, clarity of heart and mind, and deep connection with God. Step into a more intentional, peaceful life as you . . .
*identify the specific mental, spiritual, and generational walls that imprison you;
*sort through myths about deliverance and celebrate what “being delivered” really means;
*learn how specific discipleship practices bring the power of Jesus into your unique challenges;
*leave behind shame, emotional wounds, and spiritual confusion; and
*embrace a vision of faith and freedom as you draw closer to God.
Spiritual freedom is not a vague idea or something available only to some people. It is a ready-for-the-taking gift of God that you can experience right now, today, in your current circumstances. Because now is the time for your personal revival. Now is the time to be set free.

4 Alls : A Fresh Look At A Methodist Heritage
$9.99A renewed vision of salvation that still transforms.
At a time when many Methodists find it challenging to express what sets their tradition apart, The Four Alls offers a compelling invitation to reconnect with the essential convictions that have always defined Wesleyan spirituality.

The Four Alls by Michael Carpenter makes a thoughtful, well-researched case for reclaiming this foundational framework as bedrock for a new generation of Methodists. Written with clarity and pastoral warmth, the book helps readers understand:
– Who we are as people shaped by Wesleyan tradition
– What we believe about God’s saving grace and human transformation
– Why these beliefs matter in our contemporary context
– How we can live faithfully with assurance, purpose, and convictionAccessible yet historically rich, pastoral yet theologically grounded, The Four Alls is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand, embrace, and live out the transformative vision at the center of Wesleyan faith.

In Socially Awkward Evangelism, Teasdale considers evangelism through the lens of psychology, helping you overcome the roadblocks that often accompany sharing your faith.

*offers practical tools for overcoming fears about evangelism,
*challenges common misperceptions about evangelism, and
*helps you communicate your faith authentically, sensitively, and creatively.
Through practical exercises, theological foundations, and psychological insights, this book will guide you to thoughtfully attend to your inner life, your social context, and the heart of Jesus, helping you move beyond fear to embrace evangelism as the blessing it’s meant to be.
Whether you’re a church leader or educator training others, a student eager to learn, or someone who struggles with the social anxiety often tied to evangelism, Socially Awkward Evangelism provides the tools to help you step into this sacred task with confidence and purpose.
