30 Days Of Love
$13.49Add to cartHow can you love when you might not know the true meaning? This simple four-letter word is easily defined without context. However, once context is added, it changes. For instance, is the love God had for the world the same as the love you have for home cooking? Is love for a spouse the same as love for a child? The purpose of this book is to explore 30 different types of love through 30 different entertaining scenarios. But be forewarned- because God inspired this book, it will invoke thought and divine revelation, so read it at a slow pace. This book guarantees moments of reflection and insight. Also, because of its 30 different and independent accounts of love through poetry and short stories, it is an easy read and the perfect travel book. Just remember life and love are choice driven, so choose 30 Days of Love, and you will not be disappointed.

Rescuing The Raggedy Man
$15.49Add to cartHope for the Hurting Think of the term “homeless person,” and you’ll see him: the raggedy man. Reeking of alcohol and cigarette smoke. Hasn’t showered in weeks. Tattered old coat. Staggering down the sidewalk, clutching a bottle of cheap whiskey. Or maybe you see her. Mismatched clothes that others would have used for rags. Stringy, unwashed hair sticking out from under a dirty, knit stocking cap. Three kids, somewhere, from three different fathers. For more than four decades, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Rockford Rescue Mission has served compassion and generosity to raggedy people. Some look the part. But many more look like people you’d see every day. They’ve simply messed up, and life has unraveled. Hurting, hopeless, raggedy people walk among us-we just don’t see past their masks. They’re in our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and our churches. There even may be one in your mirror. If there’s a common theme to the many stories you’re about to read, it’s this: For all who hurt, there is great news. God is in the rescue business. He changes lives and gives hope where all seemed hopeless, even for raggedy people like us.

Ragman : And Other Cries Of Faith (Expanded)
$12.99Add to cartFirst published in 1984, and now newly revised and expanded, Ragman and Other Cries of Faith helped to establish Wangerin’s reputation as one of the most cutting-edge Christian writers on the market. It presents thirty-four interlocking “stories” in a variety of styles, ranging from gently reflective to incantatory. Together they embody a “story theology” that explores in fresh, powerful ways the meaning of faith, the persons of Christ, the community of faith, and the individual servant of faith. This collection interweaves short fiction, biblical stories, parables, autobiographical essays, prayers, meditations, poetry, drama, fable, and legend. The opening chapter, “Ragman” (still one of Wangerin’s most quoted writings), is a moving parable about Jesus encountered in a most unexpected place—as a rag seller on the streets of a modern city. For this new edition, the author has provided eleven new pieces, making this an all-new, updated definitive edition.

Becoming One
$15.49Add to cartCan we ignore the commands and prayers of Jesus Christ and expect to get by with it? “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee … that the world may believe that thou hast sent me” (John 17:21). Becoming One is a peacemaker that will bind the body of Christ in love. Can an arm say, “I have no need of the foot”? If we reject and ignore the body of Christ, we reject Jesus! “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40). Becoming One has thirty-two dynamic poems and sixteen short stories. It also contains sixty-one reasons directed at opening fellowship and communication in the body of Christ! It will help in understanding doctrinal differences. Becoming One can help your relatives and your church. It will be a tool in your library to break boring, unproductive tradition and religious rituals. Becoming One will challenge every church in your community. If you are a peacemaker and want to be used, this is your tool. Becoming One also unravels the confusion of Pre-, Mid-, and Post- Tribulation raptures. It has insight into seven different raptures between the Resurrection and the Millennium.
