Church In Dark Times
$19.99Add to cartWe 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.

I Think I Was Murdered
Original price was: $18.99.$11.97Current price is: $11.97.Add to cartA grieving young widow. The AI program that allows her to continue to “talk” to him. And a message she never expected: “I think I was murdered.”
Just a year ago, Katrina Berg was at the pinnacle of her career. She was a rising star in the AI chatbot start-up everyone was talking about, married with an adoring husband, and had more money than she knew how to spend. Then her world combusted. Her husband, Jason, was killed in a fiery car crash. Her CEO was indicted and, as the company’s legal counsel, Katrina faces tough questions as the Feds take over and lock her out of her office. The final blow is the passing of her beloved grandmother.
Her most prized possession is the beta prototype for a new, ultra-sophisticated chatbot loaded onto her phone. The contents of Jason’s email, social media backups, pictures, and every bit of data she could find were loaded into the bot, and Katrina has “talked” to him every day for the past six months. She has been amazed at how well it works. Even the syntax and words the bot uses sound like Jason. Sometimes, she imagines he isn’t really dead and is right there beside her. She knows it’s slowing her grief recovery, but she can’t stop pretending.
On a particularly bad day, she taps out: Tell me something I don’t know. The cursor blinks for several moments and seems frozen before the reply flashes quickly onto the screen: I think I was murdered.
Distraught, Katrina returns to her cozy Norwegian-flavored hometown in the northern California redwoods and enlists the help of Seb Wallace, local restaurateur and longtime acquaintance, to try to parse out the truth of what really happened. They must navigate the complicated paths of grief, family dynamics, and second chances, as well as the complex questions of how much control technology has. And staying alive long enough to do that is far more difficult than either of them dreamed.

How To Cast Out Demons
$21.99Add to cartThe call to cast out demons is not for a select few; it is for every believer.
After reading this book, I will have the boldness and proper understanding of deliverance so that I can be used to cast out demons and see people’s lives restored and made whole.
At the end of 2020, revivalist Isaiah Saldivar had a visitation from the Holy Spirit in which He told him in so many words, “Isaiah, the church is unprepared and untrained in spiritual warfare; I want you to teach on casting out demons, and spiritual warfare.”
Isaiah began to emphasize deliverance training and spiritual warfare in his ministry, and what he thought would be a one-week teaching turned into eight straight months and more than sixty hours of video teachings on how to cast out demons and win the fight in the spirit. These videos have now amassed over 30 million views, and thousands have been delivered by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In this book, Isaiah helps Christians who know they should be doing deliverance but don’t know how to go about it. Exploring the seven examples in the Gospels of Jesus casting out demons, and featuring stories from Saldivar’s life and ministry, this simple guide removes the mystery and provides practical training for believers who want to follow Jesus’ example of casting out demons and healing the sick.
In these pages, Saldivar challenges readers to not ignore Satan’s kingdom and equips them to confront, resist, wrestle, stand against, and cast out. Those who are tired of sitting on the sidelines will be empowered to do the works of Jesus and be part of the most significant deliverance revival the world has ever seen.

In an era marked by deconstruction and great offense, where the timeless solution lies in the essence of discipleship, this book isn’t just a collection of narratives; it’s a repository of practical wisdom and contemporary tales featuring modern legends in the Christian faith who selflessly sacrificed themselves to ensure the longevity of their faith. It echoes a truth: every martyr had surrendered long before their ultimate sacrifice, death.
Many books teach you to be a better you; few teach you to lay your life down. Within these pages, readers will explore transcending bitterness, betrayal, and unforgiveness, as well as navigating through the storms of hardship with grace and mercy as our guiding lights. Whether readers are shepherding a small group or leading stadiums, this book underscores the essence of nurturing their heart’s core and fostering an unwavering connection with God-a connection resilient against the cunning schemes of the devil, ensuring a life marked by resounding victory.
This book aspires to penetrate the very essence of a believer’s soul, igniting in them an unshakable and triumphant faith in Jesus. It’s crafted to profoundly impact readers, equipping them with tangible tools to overcome challenges, accompanied by real-life narratives of individuals who have traversed similar paths.
“Potential prodigals will never have to eat with pigs if their faith in Jesus is strengthened and they simply can see light at the end of the tunnel of whatever season they are in.” -Brian Barcelona

Today Is A Verb
$16.99Add to cartNone of us knows how long we have on this earth. Sometimes, the days seem to pass by with little importance; at other times, we might feel overwhelmed by our experiences, whether they bring us happiness or sorrow. In the end, however, we allow our days and years to march on.
But what if we intentionally view each today as a gift from God? What if we considered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?
In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks us to grab hold of God’s endless gift of time–past, present, and future–and make the most of every moment and every minute. For this gift from God is truly as boundless as the ocean. The act of living can bring us joy if we seek to listen to God, read His Word, and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Today Is a Verb can propel us to our destiny, to God’s desire for us. As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful, and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome–the possibilities are endless.
Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Each chapter includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical application, and a daily declaration.
“This dimension of godly living…is not for the faint of heart but for all of those who have determined their lives will smack of the atmosphere of heaven,” Carol says.
“If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage in the desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life,” she says. “Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrant step toward the life for which you have been aching.”
