Overcoming Worldly Concerns
$17.95Add to cartNo matter how pure or virtuous your intentions may be, you can easily get so caught up in temporal pursuits ? “the things of this world” ? that you forget about God and His intimate, sustained involvement in your life. But with help from this book, you can turn that around by making an examination of your life that will orient you on the fertile path to Jesus Christ.
It’s not enough simply to call yourself a Christian or attend Sunday Mass: you need to decide to live for God rather than for yourself. To help you do so, Archbishop Alban Goodier explains how giving yourself to God will ennoble you and bring you great rewards. He details the many ways in which you will gain happiness by rising above the concerns of this world, even amid the cares and duties of your daily life! He shows how the very fact of God’s existence ? to say nothing of achieving spiritual closeness with Him ? gives meaning and dignity to your life in a way that worldly possessions or success never can.
Uncompromising, incisive, and comprehensive, Overcoming Worldly Concerns is a much-needed wake-up call for every “comfortable Christian.”
Abandon yourself fully to God and learn:
*The little-known fact that will inspire you to resist sin with all your strength
*The ways in which you’ve been throwing away God’s grace
*The secret of the saints that makes them such a powerful help for you today ? if only you ask for that help
*How you can be certain of God’s love for you at any given moment
*How you can arm yourself for the spiritual warfare that is sure to beset your soul
*The many forms and levels of prayer (and why just knowing them is not enough)
*The most common hindrances to prayer ? and how to overcome them

Precious Gift Of Old Age
$14.95Add to cartThe fear of growing old is a universal burden. Here’s the book you need to ensure that you move into and through old age with grit and grace. Fr. John LaFarge shows you how to conquer any fear of aging – and how to make your golden years the best years of your life.
At age 84, Fr. LaFarge was struck by the many advantages and blessings of aging, and he observed that modern men and women have lost touch with the traditional view of old age as the crowning summit of life. Seeing old age instead as a calamity, he says, is what makes aging such a misery for many.
In these insightful and encouraging pages, Fr. John helps you recognize that old age has its own inherent meaning and that the wisest thing we can do when it creeps up on us is to explore this meaning and adopt a general plan of action to profit from it.
Specifically, you will learn how to overcome loneliness and assist others who are suffering from the pains of poverty or neglect. Fr. LaFarge addresses the challenges of caring for elderly people who are too sick to live at home and require admission to nursing homes. He also clarifies the duties of the younger generations toward those in old age and how it is incumbent upon them to turn the tide of our utilitarian culture of death.
Best of all, Fr. LaFarge affirms that old age affords more time for quiet communion with our Lord, for contemplation, and for reaching out to others to help provide for their spiritual needs. He imparts the invaluable lesson that to embrace old age is to value the opportunity to strengthen yourself on the road to eternity after a lifetime of sin. You will also discover:
*New opportunities, dignities, and privileges that come with old age
*How old age is a time of great strength, beauty, and resurrection
*An attitude of thankfulness and joy that attracts others to the Faith
*How the “greatest social power in the world” rests in old age
*What the older and younger generations can teach each other
*How practicing the four cardinal virtues in our senior years leads to an authentic love of God and neighbor -
Hope In 60 Seconds
$22.99Add to cartNow more than ever, we all face trying situations. The hope we need and hunger for is not a strategy or state of mind, but faith in Jesus. He stands secure for us in the face of every trial, from loss to sickness to injustice. Through 20 short prayers, 10 personal stories of miraculous transformations, and Biblical teachings, Hope in 60 Seconds will help you take the first steps towards a journey of security in the hope of Jesus.
“At twenty-one I was as far from hopeful as anyone could get. Maybe as far as you are now.”
These are the words of Christina Baker as she considered her traumatic life: from childhood abuse to troubled teen years, to a descent into substance abuse, she resonates with a lost world who understands first-hand how easy it is to lose hope. Then, just as she was about to go to jail for drug possession, the Hero of Hope, Jesus Christ, came into her life and set her on a completely new path.
If you are weary and doubting, Christina understands. Hope in 60 Seconds will help you to:
*Be encouraged and empowered by someone who has been in a similar place of discouragement and discovered Christ’s authority and love,
*Learn how Jesus establishes hope and begin to experience it first-hand in the darkest of circumstances,
*Grow in your ability to connect with Jesus and find the hope you have longed for all of your life, and
*Prove that a connection with Jesus is the ultimate source of hope.
The message of Cristina’s life is Jesus, the hope we need and hunger for–a hope that will stand secure in the face of brokenness, loss, sickness, abuse, a brain tumor diagnosis, injustice, and death. In Hope in 60 Seconds, she shares the steps of her journey to encounter, receive, and walk in the hope of Jesus, and offers readers powerful wisdom for how they can take the same journey for themselves.

Gates Of Hell
$29.99Add to cartThe gates of hell shall not prevail.
Decimated by war, revolution, and famine, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Russia was in critical condition in 1921.

$19.99Add to cart‘I asked God for a mic, and He gave me a broom!’
Have you noticed Jesus’ kingdom is upside down? To be first, you must be last. To find your life, you must lose it. To receive, you must give. And to lead, you must follow.

In Sacred Smallness, Jenny points out that, while Christian culture often heralds notoriety and wealth as the ultimate success, God is delighted in humble surrender–even when it leads to sacred smallness and holy hiddenness.
The granddaughter of well-known ministers Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Jenny observed firsthand that successful ministry actually begins in servanthood and shares:
*The best place to be faithful is wherever God has put you
*God’s measuring stick is all that counts, so don’t compare yourself to others
*God says you’re precious, so refuse all pressure to be perfect
*The key to finding quiet, dynamic strength in mustard-seed faith
*How to identify and remove idols that block you from God’s highest and bestTrue excitement and success await in your God-destined place, and it all begins with a heart toward God.

Were Stronger Than We Look
$12.99Add to cartCaregiver, are you overwhelmed? Do you secretly have bouts of despair, bitterness, and even hopelessness?
As a caregiver, you run the risk of disappearing. Your time goes overwhelmingly to the needs of your loved one. Your relationships get strained, and your challenges and anxieties are difficult to articulate. It’s easier to just keep your head down and do what must be done.
What’s more, you probably didn’t sign up for this role or train for it. And yet here you are, reliving the trauma that got you here, providing support you didn’t know you had in you to give, struggling with fatigue, making critical, life-altering decisions, and yearning for the community you had that has changed or disappeared.
Rich in stories and unflinchingly pragmatic, We’re Stronger than We Look is an invitation to look up and remember the life you’ve been given, the image of God that you bear, and the assurance that God loves you as much as you love the person entrusted to your care. This message is delivered by a caregiver who, while writing this helpful book, has cared for her paraplegic husband, who was suddenly disabled in a bicycling accident.

$15.99Add to cartVacations often give us an opportunity to rest and reflect. However, when our normal routines and habits are suspended, it can be hard to spend time with God.
These 30 devotions have been specifically designed to help you to rest in the Lord’s goodness and glory during your time away so that you can return home feeling refreshed spiritually as well as physically.

Christ is the one who sets his Spirit in our hearts to cause streams of living water to well up within us and flow from us. Sometimes we rest away from Jesus, but how much better to rest with and in him? He is where our true refreshment is found.”

Never Ashamed : Stories Of Sharing Faith With Scoffers And Skeptics
$14.99Add to cartMost books on evangelism deal primarily with different approaches to sharing the good news. From street ministry to personal witnessing, books abound on how to present the gospel in a variety of ways and situations.
But Never Ashamed isn’t a book about how. Rather, it’s a book about why. Author Avi Snyder explains:
*Why we mustn’t be ashamed of sharing the good news in an open and direct fashion.
*Why believers find it difficult to share the good news of salvation, despite the variety of fruit that always abounds.
*Why non-believers often choose to walk away from the claims of the Messiah, even when they know or at least suspect in their hearts that His claims are true.
*Why the early church felt compelled to proclaim His message, regardless of the risks and costs.
More than this, however, Never Ashamed is a book of stories:
*The man who told Avi he wouldn’t stop him from jumping out a window.
*The Marxist lady trying to figure him out who eventually concluded he was a provocateur
*The woman who prayed for God to give her compassion like Him and wept when she received it
*The Soviet guard who helped Avi’s team pass out literature
These and many more encounters that Avi shares will make you laugh, cry, and be filled with joy at the winsome ways in which he brings people to Jesus.

Courage : A Message From Heaven
$14.99Add to cartThroughout history, all of the greatest men and women of God needed courage to fulfill their destinies. From Abraham to the men and women of the first century church who spread the gospel, all needed courage to hold fast to their faith during numerous trials and tribulations.
“We need that same courage today,” says author Branden Brim. “We live in a time of uncertainty, a time where fear is being spread, and Christians are being discouraged. But we don’t have to give in! We can be bold because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Because of His sacrifice, we can be as bold as lions!”
In his book Courage: A Message from Heaven, Branden shares personal, modern-day, and biblical stories of courage, how it’s obtained, why it’s needed, and how standing on God’s promises can grow both courage and faith. He also shares dreams and visions he received from the Holy Spirit that have encouraged him in his own life and ministry.
“Before writing this book, the Lord showed me a vision of the importance of courage,” Branden says. “After having that vision, I knew that the only way I could accomplish the will of God in my life was to have courage, and I believe that sentiment rings true for everyone living in the world today.”
It is his hope that Courage: A Message from Heaven will make you bolder and more determined to achieve all that God has planned for you.

Why Marriage Counseling Fails
$16.99Add to cartLike life itself, marriage has moments of joy…and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said “I do” try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative–being alone–is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.
Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.
Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages.
“Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor,” he says. “Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in.”
Dr. Hawkins defines the “five I’s” of a qualified marriage counselor as one who:
*Offers wise instruction
*Takes an active interest in the couple
*Offers insight into why problems recur
*Is willing to work intensively
*Works in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutionsWhy Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.

Rediscovering You : Solving Your Personality Puzzle To Enhance Your Life
$15.99Add to cart“Who are you?” the Caterpillar asked Alice in Wonderland.
It’s a question that many of us might ask ourselves. What makes us grumpy one day and cheerful the next? Why would some of us prefer to receive little love notes from our spouse rather than a back rub? What makes some people behave like Energizer bunnies until they collapse? In short, what makes us tick?
Author Craig Walker sets out to put the puzzle pieces together in Rediscovering You. He merges personality tests, the Enneagram, the Five Love Languages, and the Word of God into one mosaic to provide you with a detailed and accurate self-portrait so that you can see yourself as you truly are, with all of your strengths, weaknesses, and complexities.
“Decades of conducting counseling sessions taught me that self-awareness is the single greatest leap forward to personal happiness and better relationships,” Craig says. “The Word of God, personality, Enneagram, and love languages honestly answer the question, ‘Who are you?’ Knowing that answer will change everything. It will create a ripple effect across all of your relationships.”
Rediscovering You uses Scripture to address three areas:
*Personality, the way we operate day to day
*The Enneagram, what motivates us to do what we do
*Love Languages, how we give and receive love“This book will speak to those who truly want to learn how to love others as they love themselves, but first, they must learn to love themselves as God sees them,” Craig says. “Taking a deep look into your personality, the personalities of specific men and women throughout Scripture, learning how you are truly meant to be loved, and being honest with yourself will together build a beautiful and unique tapestry of your identity in Christ.”

Lies Women Believe
$17.99Add to cartCounter the lies that keep you from abundant living.
Satan is the master deceiver; his lies are endless. And the lies Christian women believe are at the root of most of their struggles.
“Many women live under a cloud of personal guilt and condemnation,” says Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth. “Many are in bondage to their past. Others are gripped by fear of rejection and a longing for approval. Still others are emotional prisoners.”
In this bestseller, Lies Women Believe, Nancy exposes those areas of deception most commonly believed by Christian women–lies about God, sin, priorities, marriage and family, emotions, and more. She then sheds light on how we can be delivered from bondage and set free to walk in God’s grace, forgiveness, and abundant life. Nancy offers the most effective weapon to counter and overcome Satan’s deceptions: God’s truth!

Faith In The Wilderness
$16.99Add to cart“If we want revival in our communities, then let us learn from those being revived.”
For many Western Christians, the experience of suffering and persecution is remote. For Chinese Christians, on the other hand, persecution is a regular aspect of the Christian life. If a Christian from the West was transported to a Chinese house church, the topic of suffering would be ever–present in preaching and conversation. With decades of persecution under the thumb of the Chinese Communist Party and a rich theology of suffering, the Chinese house church movement has much to contribute theologically to the global church.
In Faith in the Wilderness, editors Hannah Nation and Simon Liu pull together the insights of the Chinese Church for the West. These sermonic letters from Chinese Christians will awaken readers to the reality of the gospel-the ground of our hope-in the midst of darkness. Readers will be convicted, encouraged, and edified by the testimony of these Chinese Christians.

Jesus And Gender
$24.99Add to cartLoving one another as sisters and brothers in Jesus
Many Christian women and men carry heavy burdens. Much teaching on gender relations, roles, and rules binds the conscience beyond what Scripture actually teaches. Gender has become a battleground for power. But God created men and women not to compete for glory but to cooperate for his glory.
In Jesus and Gender, Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher paint a new vision for gender-Christ’s gentle and lowly heart. The centrality of the gospel has been lost in gender debates. Our ultimate example is Jesus, our humble king, who used his power to serve others. So we must rethink our identities, roles, and relationships around him. Christ transformed enemies into family. Men and women are allies in God’s mission.
Drawing from Scripture and experience, Fitzpatrick and Schumacher show how Jesus’s example speaks to all areas of our lives as men and women, including vocation, marriage, parenting, friendships, and relating to each other as sisters and brothers in Christ. Real–life testimonies from a variety of Christians-including Christine Caine, Justin Holcomb, Karen Swallow Prior, and others-show a variety of men and women freed to pursue their gifts for God’s glory.
Fitzpatrick and Schumacher’s perspective untangles what God has said about gender from what he hasn’t. By coming to Jesus, women and men can find rest.

Astronauts Wife
$26.99Add to cartA true story about making the most of your one incredible life.
On July 20, 2019, Stacey Morgan kissed her husband goodbye before he donned his space suit and headed to his waiting Soyuz rocket. With an overwhelming mix of pride, excitement, and terror, she and her children held hands and watched the rocket ignite and lift off for a nine-month mission aboard the International Space Station . . .
This is the story of the astronaut’s wife. And it’s full of unexpected twists she never saw coming. Because while the love of her life orbited Earth, Stacey was about to embark on a knock-your-socks-off adventure right here at home. Being an astronaut’s wife was different than Stacey expected. The risks were greater, the loneliness was deeper, and the stress was more intense. It was an incredibly challenging yet deeply meaningful season–one in which she learned rich lessons about:
*preparing for any mission or adventure life throws at you
*rediscovering your fun side when you’ve been trapped in survival mode too long
*trusting God’s strength when you feel like you’re hitting the wall
*choosing the path of hope in the face of fear and uncertaintyContaining behind-the-scenes glimpses into a side of space flight that most of us will never experience, The Astronaut’s Wife is a funny, poignant, and meaningful exploration of living life to the fullest–no matter where you roam.

There is much talk and teaching about generational curses and how they can be spiritually transmitted through the family bloodline. But what about generational blessings?

What you do today in the Courts of Heaven can release generational blessings for you and your family!

He has given his life to helping individuals, churches, and nations break legal agreements with the enemy by operating in the Courts of Heaven to step into the breakthroughs that Scripture promises.

You will learn how to:
*Experience Family Freedom by bringing your loved ones before Heaven’s Courts and interceding for verdicts of blessing, freedom and salvation*Pray according to what’s written in the Books of Heaven for you and your family

Tinder Tattoos And Tequila
$16.99Add to cartHOLDING FAST TO FAITH IN THE GRAY AREAS OF LIFE
Should a Christian use Tinder…get a tattoo…or drink shots of tequila? Anyone who wants to live a life of grace needs to navigate the world’s gray lifestyle choices that may not be wrong, but could lead to sin. “The church has been plagued by two extremes when it comes to living a Christian lifestyle,” says author Bradley Truman Noel. “On one side, we have the serious folks adorned with a really impressive frown, who remind us of all the do’s and don’ts….On the other end of the spectrum are folks who play fast and loose with the rules. They typically don’t spend too much time thinking about holiness, or wondering if their actions align with biblical teaching.” Both sides, Bradley says, miss the power of God’s grace in our lives. In Tinder, Tattoos, and Tequila, you will discover:
*What’s sinful and what’s permissible
*Scriptural absolutes that apply to all believers
*Why we should be eager to be holy in this life
*How to navigate social media and video games
*Biblical principles that can guide every decision
*Ways to receive help from the Holy Spirit
*The balance between understanding the law and practicing graceDon’t let the world’s endless choices keep you from living the life of grace that God has for you!

Set The World On Fire

In Set the World on Fire, bestselling author, retreat leader, and spiritual director Vinita Hampton Wright offers a four-week personal retreat that immerses you in the dramatic lives, historical eras, and groundbreaking ideas of these formidable saints and invites you to develop the grit, humility, pragmatism, hope, joy, and vision these women possessed.
Each week of your retreat begins with weekend reading and prayer to introduce the saint and the primary topic of the chapter, followed by five days of morning and evening prayer. Much of the text comes from the saint’s own writings. Scripture, reflection questions, and suggestions for action are designed to help you engage personally with the saint and her wisdom for living your faith.
Each week offers a unique and in-depth experience of the saint and her unique gifts to the Church:
*Week one: St. Therese of Lisieux–the young Carmelite nun whose autobiography sent ripples across Christendom–will teach you to love God through her Little Way.
*Week two: St. Teresa of Avila–a Carmelite who spent years reforming her order and gave to the world a spiritual masterpiece called The Interior Castle–will instruct you in trusting your personal experience of God.
*Week three: St. Catherine of Siena–a Third-Order Dominican who poured out her life for people in need but also gave astute, sharp direction to Church leaders–will guide you to live every moment with courage through the love of truth.
*Week four: St. Hildegard of Bingen–a Benedictine abbess whose spiritual visions led to books, poetry, music, art, and early scientific discovery–will show you how to engage life with passion and creativity.
Each woman’s experience of God, understanding of spirituality, and timeless wisdom gained her the title Doctor of the Church, which indicates that through her life, research, study, and writing, she has deepened and advanced the faith.
