Lucha Por Lo Femenino – (Spanish)
$17.99

La 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
$27.99

In 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 And Soul Healed And Whole
$18.99

If you’re a survivor of sexual harm, recovering your sexuality is possible. You are worthy of good care.

The toxic effects of sexual trauma and abuse can be devastating and lasting. Victims’ ability to experience healthy sexuality, even if they free themselves from the abuse, is often shattered.

If sexual abuse, violence, or coercive control is part of your story, certified sex addiction therapist (CSAT) and trauma specialist Tabitha Westbrook wants you to know: you are not alone, and healing is possible. In Body & Soul, Healed & Whole, Tabitha draws on her specialized expertise, her own personal story of abuse, and a deep knowledge of Scripture to create a safe and compassionate place for you to start recovering – or even finding – the healthy sexuality God intended for you.

With honest wisdom and empathetic understanding, Body & Soul, Healed & Whole will help you discover how to:

*process your story of abuse–whether it occurred as a child, within marriage, or by someone in a position of power–without shame,

*develop healthy relationships with God, with ourselves, and with others (including those of the opposite sex),

*reconnect with your good body and establish a foundation for healthy sexuality, whether currently married or single,

*identify and address any spiritual abuse that may have taken place within sexually abusive relationships,

*understand what arousal structures are, how they’re formed and distorted by abuse, and how to shift them when needed for healing, and

*incorporate practical skills for self-care during your healing process.

Sexuality does not have to be forever broken. Rest assured in a God who understands and loves you in the deepest of deep ways–and begin your journey toward wholeness, restoration and healing.

Body God Gives
$34.99

What 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 compassion

In 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
$18.97

In 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
$18.99

Jesus 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
$14.99

If 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.

Made To Be She
$18.99

What does it mean to be a woman? What makes her her? Why are there differences between men and women? What do we lose as progressive movements try to erase those differences? And where do we go from here?

With insight and passion, the founders of Girl Defined Ministries confront the confusion of our culture and the conflicting voices of the feminist movement in order to bring clarity to the biblical womanhood found in God’s Word. This book will help you sort through the noise to develop a clear understanding of who God made you to be so you can stand firm and fearless despite the shifting winds of our society.

With a discussion guide at the end of each chapter to help you dig deeper, this book makes an excellent choice for women’s book clubs and Bible study groups or the perfect read to share with a friend over coffee.

Church In Dark Times
$19.99

We 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
$16.99

Faith 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.
