Confessions Of A Christian Alcoholic
$19.99There’s hope for alcoholics who become Christians–and for Christians who become alcoholics:
*Learn what alcoholism really looks like
*Discover how to break free from destructive habits and shame
*Embrace the freedom that comes from radical honesty and vulnerabilityWhile the Christian community loves stories of salvation, it struggles with stories of sanctification–the often-messy journey of becoming like Jesus. As a result, many Christians who stumble are mired in shame, especially when it comes to one of society’s biggest post-Covid obsessions: alcohol. But there is hope for those willing to rethink their drinking.
In Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly tells his own story of disordered drinking. Not only does he address the roots of addiction, trauma, and the often-overlooked reality that Christians aren’t immune to sin struggles, he also reframes the term alcoholic and shares the practical yet spiritual four-step process he used to break free–a process readers will find helpful for working through many of life’s struggles.
Written in an engaging, conversational style, Confessions shows that there’s hope for Christians who become alcoholics, not just for alcoholics who become Christians.

Dear Unity : Overdue Love Letters To Heal A Divided Church
$18.99It began with the breaking of the bread and became a Movement. These are the love letters that tell the story.
During the global Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January 2024, Australian entrepreneur Philip Ryall and his wife Jennie invited more than sixty church leaders from various Christian backgrounds and denominations into their home for what they hope will be the first of many Unity Meals around the world.
Like yeast leavening a loaf of bread, out of that meal grew the impetus for the book Dear Unity, a collection of thoughts from over thirty prominent Christian leaders around the world. This powerful compilation of personal reflections, teachings, back stories, and cross-denominational letters brings a whole new perspective on the way we view our fellow believers. What they all share in common is a desire to see the rich diversity of the church become one body in Christ, as Jesus so wanted us to be.
Dear Unity is both a book and a movement centered on building a culture of honor between brothers and sisters in Christ through shared experiences and overdue expressions of love. Starting with influential figures within the global church, it’s designed to involve everyone from the leaders to the layperson, to move beyond any past walls of division to embrace what unites us at our core.
Among the authors are Randy Clark, president of Global Awakening; Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, capuchin friar and preacher to the papal household; Darlene Zschech, singer-songwriter and lead pastor of Hope Unlimited Church; Francis Chan, founder of Crazy Love Ministries; Nicky Gumbel, pioneer of Alpha; Heidi Baker, Mozambique missionary and CEO of Iris Global; Bo Sanchez, founder of Light of Jesus Family; Dr Jerry Pillay, general secretary of the World Council of Churches; and Bill Johnson, senior pastor of Bethel Church in California.

Lucha Por Lo Femenino – (Spanish)
$17.99La misma idea de la feminidad esta siendo atacada en todos los frentes: sexualizada por nuestra cultura, eliminada del lenguaje y silenciada por la iglesia. Durante decadas, ambos sexos han sido sistematicamente socavados y despojados de su fuerza. Hombre y mujer fueron creados originalmente como una union poderosa, pero eso se convirtio en una lucha de poder. Durante aos, las mujeres escucharon la mentira de que, para ser poderosas, debian actuar como los hombres. Ahora las cosas han cambiado, con hombres actuando como mujeres.
Este ataque es mas que cultural, es espiritual. Apocalipsis 12:17 retrata a un dragon enfurecido con las mujeres, que ha declarado la guerra a nuestros hijos. Nuestro enemigo, aterrorizado por lo que fuimos hechos para reflejar (y a imagen de quien), busca difuminar las lineas, distorsionando la misma idea de lo que significa que las mujeres porten la imagen divina de Dios.
Fuimos creadas para esta lucha. Se requeriran conversaciones honestas e intimas para surgir con respuestas inspiradas por Dios que esten a la altura de los desafios de nuestro tiempo. Nuestros matrimonios, hijos, iglesias, comunidades y futuros dependen de ello. Es hora de unirnos, confiadas en nuestra identidad divina, claras en nuestra mision y valientes en nuestro llamado, para confrontar la oscuridad con amor y luz. !Es hora de luchar por la mujer!
The very idea of womanhood is being assailed on all fronts: sexualized by our culture, eliminated from language, and silenced by the church. For decades, both sexes have been systematically undermined and stripped of their strength. Male and female were originally created as a power union, but that turned into a power struggle. For years, women listened to the lie that to be powerful they needed to act like men. Now the tables have turned, with men acting like women.
This attack is more than cultural, it is spiritual. Revelation 12:17 portrays a dragon enraged with women who has declared war on our children. Our enemy, terrified of what–and whom–we were made to reflect, seeks to blur the lines, distorting the very idea of what it means for women to bear God’s divine image.
We were made for this fight. It will require honest, intimate conversations to emerge with God-inspired answers equal to the challenges of our day. Our marriages, children, churches, communities, and futures depend on it. It’s time to unite, confident in our divine identity, clear in our commission, and courageous in our callin

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.

Body God Gives
$34.99What is the relationship between sex and gender?
*Understand society’s shifts in thinking and talking about sex and gender
*Discover how biological sex guides gender
*Recognize how the Bible speaks to gender and transgender
*Respond to affirming interpretations of Scripture
*Answer gender confusion with clarity and compassionIn The Body God Gives: A Biblical Response to Transgender Theory, Robert S. Smith argues that God intends a person’s gender to be grounded in the reality of his or her biological sex–the body God has given. In making his case, Smith critiques the central claim of transgender theory: that the sexed body does not determine the gendered self. He also evaluates contemporary changes in thought and speech about sex and gender, responding to modern confusion with biblical conviction and compassion. God speaks clearly, both in his word and in his world.

Christians In The Crosshairs
$18.97In Christians in the Crosshairs, Gregory C. Cochran provides an insightful and (surprisingly) encouraging biblical explanation as to why trouble and persecution are inevitable for Christians. Since they are a peculiar people, are in the world but not of the world, and follow a Master who is offensive to many, Christians are naturally the objects of disdain and hostility. Understanding the nature of the enmity between the world and the Christian is critical for living in a world where Satan is its prince. The book is an attempt to start a conversation about the reality of Christian persecution. It is a wake-up call to the modern church, especially in the United States. “My hope for all who read this volume,” writes the author, “is a strengthened faith. One of the most surprising aspects of studying persecution has been its effect on me. I thought I would feel woeful and defeated after hearing of such great suffering. However, the opposite is true. The Gospel, with its resurrection power, is able to take the worst situations and reframe them in victory. Hearing stories of triumph through suffering has been nothing short of glorious.”

When Culture Hates You
$18.99Jesus Warned the World Would Hate Christians
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).
As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good–a good defined by God alone–is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.
When Culture Hates You is a call for Christians to unashamedly pursue righteousness in society out of our love for others. In this timely resource, author Natasha Crain will help you:
*make sense of cultural hostility by better understanding the roots of secular outrage on issues like Christian nationalism, social justice, abortion, transgenderism, and sexuality
*advocate for the godly functioning of society with greater biblical, cultural, and civic understanding
*take concrete action for the common good with more than 35 practical ideas to get you started
As Christians, our calling is to speak truth in the face of hostility. Not because we want to “war” with culture but because we love both God and others.

This Light Of Mine
$14.99If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3
Followers of Christ have every right to be concerned about the troubling shifts in our culture. On nearly every front things are different. Much of what we see is a direct contradiction to divinely revealed truth and the convictions we hold dear. At times, we feel like we’ve lost the battle for what’s good and right.
The challenge for us now? To respond in ways that communicate the gospel without alienating people who need to hear about the good news of Christ’s redemptive work. Unfortunately, many of us have responded with a sense of hopelessness and despair. Others have entwined evangelicalism with political alignments. Both strategies have made our message less than attractive and have betrayed the hope we have to offer a world gone wrong.
This Light of Mine is a call to evangelicals to pivot from being consumed in a battle for our earthly kingdom and to embrace the privilege of advancing the kingdom of Christ. Drawing from the Scriptures and the life of Jesus, Joe Stowell provides a hope-filled, courageous response that empowers us to light up the darkness by living like Jesus in a non-Jesus world.

Church In Dark Times
$19.99We expect evil to appear in obvious forms: malice, cruelty, and contempt. We also expect to find villains at the helm of evil movements and organizations, leaders with dark impulses and motivations. But all too often, malevolence is more subtle, hiding behind our own best intentions.
In The Church in Dark Times, cultural critic Mike Cosper unveils this dynamic in the growing crisis of abuse and other failures in modern evangelical churches. Drawing on the work of twentieth-century political theorist Hannah Arendt, Cosper explores what we can learn from her theory of the “banality of evil”–the thoughtlessness that allows ordinary people to become complicit in all manner of corruption. He uncovers the underlying causes of the breakdowns of the church and offers practices that foster healing and renewal.
This book will engage Christian leaders and all followers who want to better understand how church crises keep happening–and how we can resist them and move forward.

Every Square Inch
$16.99Faith with a Worldly Impact
How does our faith impact our everyday lives? To what extent should we be involved with the culture? Christians have wrestled with these questions throughout history.
Drawing on such sources as Abraham Kuyper, Francis Schaeffer, and C.S. Lewis, Bruce Ashford argues that God wants our whole lives to be shaped by Jesus’ lordship. If Jesus truly is Lord over everything, then our faith is relevant to every dimension of culture.
We must remove the barrier between “sacred” and “secular,” and allow the gospel to inform everything we do. We are to live our lives firmly in the midst of our cultural contexts, proclaiming Jesus with our lips and promoting him with our lives.
