Just A Bartender
$16.99Add to cartAround 450 BC, Nehemiah served King Artaxerxes in Babylon as the royal cupbearer. Nehemiah was a bartender and a slave. That was his job and his position in life. But it was not his identity. When news arrived that Nehemiah’s far away home of Jerusalem lie in ruins, he was heartbroken. But this devastation unleashed one of the most fascinating adventures in history.
Nehemiah was a slave with a dream. His amazing story is one that many men today can relate to when they ask themselves questions like:
Is my current life the limit of what I can do?
Is this really my full capacity?Could I have a bigger purpose?
Am I locked into this life path when there are other passions that stir me deeply?
The revelations found in Nehemiah’s story can set your life on a new path.
Like Nehemiah, when you lean into God, your purpose becomes clearer, your personal narrative becomes more positive, and you develop a greater potential for success.
Any man willing to turn to God can break free. The amazing thing is, when you break free, the people around you will get their chance to be free, too.

$24.99Add to cartYou have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all. It’s specific. Personalized. Targeted.

Each chapter will guide you in crafting prayer strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re on to him and that you won’t back down.

Divine Dance : The Trinity And Your Transformation
$23.99Add to cartThe Trinity is supposed to be the central, foundational doctrine of our entire Christian belief system, yet we’re often told that we shouldn’t attempt to understand it because it is a “mystery.” Should we presume to try to breach this mystery? If we could, how would it transform our relationship with God and renew our lives?
The word Trinity is not found in the New Testament-it wasn’t until the third century that early Christian father Tertullian coined it-but the idea of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was present in Jesus’ life and teachings and from the very beginning of the Christian experience.
In the pages of this book, internationally recognized teacher Richard Rohr circles around this most paradoxical idea as he explores the nature of God-circling around being an apt metaphor for this mystery we’re trying to apprehend. Early Christians who came to be known as the “Desert Mothers and Fathers” applied the Greek verb perichoresis to the mystery of the Trinity. The best translation of this odd-sounding word is dancing. Our word choreography comes from the same root. Although these early Christians gave us some highly conceptualized thinking on the life of the Trinity, the best they could say, again and again, was, Whatever is going on in God is a flow-it’s like a dance.
But God is not a dancer-He is the dance itself. That idea might sound novel, but it is about as traditional as you can get. God is the dance itself, and He invites you to be a part of that dance. Are you ready to join in?

Holy Labor : How Childbirth Shapes A Woman’s Soul
$18.99Add to cartWomen are valued for their ability to bear children in many cultures. The birth process, though supposedly the most painful experience of a woman’s life, is seen as a necessary evil to achieve the end goal of children and motherhood.
And yet, in the face of a typically masculinized Christianity that nevertheless professes that women are equally created in the image of God, shouldn’t childbirth–a uniquely feminine experience–itself shape Christian women’s souls and teach them about the heart of the God they love and follow?
Drawing on her own experience of giving birth and motherhood–and the conflicting assumptions attached to them, by Christians and the culture at large–Aubry G. Smith presents a richly scriptural exploration of common conceptions about pregnancy and childbirth that will not only help mothers and soon-to-be mothers understand how to think biblically about birth, but also walks them through how to put the ideas into practice in their own lives. Along the way, she shows all readers how to see God’s own experience of the birth process–and how childbirth leads to a deeper understanding of the gospel overall.

It’s not too late Church! Both the world and the Kingdom of God need and deserve your best. Jesus set the example, and modeled transformation for us. He purchased our freedom and redemption and victory and inheritance with His own blood, and His own life. He gave His best; we can do no less. The Church is God’s only plan for the earth; there is no Plan B. We have everything we need to get the job done, so it’s time to stop making excuses and feeling sorry for ourselves. As warriors and championship-winning teams know, the best defense is a good offense. It’s time the Church plays offense again.

Way Of Perfection
$18.99Add to cartAlthough Teresa of Avila lived five centuries ago, her superbly inspiring classic on the practice of prayer is as fresh and meaningful today as it was when she first wrote it. Teresa’s deep desire throughout is to teach a deep and lasting love of prayer beginning with a treatment of the three essentials of the prayer-filled life-fraternal love, detachment from created things, and true humility. Her teachings are not lofty speculation but come from the fruit of her practical experience. The next section develops these ideas and brings the reader directly to the subjects of prayer and contemplation. Teresa then gives various maxims for the practice of prayer and leads to the topic that occupies the balance of the book-a detailed and inspiring commentary on the Lord’s Prayer.

Daily Decrees For Accessing Abundance
$14.99Add to cart“You will decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.” Job 22:28 AMP
In centuries past, a king would issue a decree from his throne and that decree would become law throughout his kingdom. In the Bible, God operates the same way. The body of Christ must break out of a just-get-by, poverty-ridden mentality if the church is going to win the world to Jesus. There is a life of abundance prosperity, health, and favor available to every believer when they decree the Word of God over their lives. This is what Joshua Fowler calls the “decree dimension,” a level of spiritual dominion that every believer should operate within. In, Fowler invites you to discover the power of Job 22 by entering into a 22-day decree challenge. Learn what decrees are and how they work. Then experience twenty-two specific daily decrees-each with supporting Scripture and a journaling section-that will impact your life and change the world.

Wounded In The Church
$15.99Add to cartBeeson and Hayward, both veteran pastors and leaders of healing and deliverance ministries, have seen firsthand the rise of the “dones”-those who are just done with God thanks to emotional abuse from Spirit-less churches and messed-up leaders. In Wounded in the Church, these authors combine their years of experience to address head-on the elephant in the room: church members and church leaders hurt Christians. All the time.
The long-lasting effects-rejection, shame, despair, loneliness, fear-are not just characteristic of people leaving the church, but of the still-in-church as well. With first-person accounts of hurt and loss, this book is a much-needed redemptive guide for anyone whose wounds, whether new or old, are still painful.Leaders and laypeople both will learn how to leave unhealthy attitudes, patterns, and places, to grieve over abuse, and to hope in God’s real deliverance and His continuing work through true churches that build up, not tear down. Beeson and Hayward conclude with practical advice on how to find a healthy and grounded, if imperfect, church.

Receive Your Miracle Now
$18.99Add to cartJesus brought people into direct contact with the power and authority of God. Every healing and miracle revealed the glory of God and the reality of His kingdom. Jesus gave the disciples authority to exercise this realm of God’s kingdom. He commanded the disciples to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, to heal the sick, and deliver the oppressed.
Receive Your Miracle Now presents a strong argument for the legitimacy of a Christian healing ministry in today’s church. By studying key passages of Scripture in both the Old and New Testaments, examining the thread of healing throughout church history, and presenting a theological basis for healing and deliverance ministry, Bob Sawvelle demonstrates that through the healing gifts Jesus is glorified, the sick are healed, the oppressed are freed, and God’s kingdom advances in the earth.

Unmasking The Accuser
$16.99Add to cartWhen was the last time a Christian hurt you?
The demonic trio of slander, gossip, and offense has gained huge momentum both in our society and in the church. They ruin marriages, relationships, destroy churches, and discredit those in spiritual leadership. Even worse, instead of fighting them, believers daily aid these spirits. And daily, other believers fall victim. The church’s main problem today is a lack of love, forgiveness, and unity.
Satan’s favorite lie is that spiritual attacks always come from outside-that Christians can’t hurt each other. But when Pastor Kynan Bridges rips the mask off of the accuser, the truth is revealed: Satan’s spirits of slander, gossip, and offense are determined to tear the kingdom apart, and they use believers to do it-leading to bitterness and spiritual disease.
With a careful study of the Word of God, Pastor Kynan shows a way out. In this book, you will learn how to:
*Recognize the devastation of slander
*Identify the satanic nature of gossip
*Avoid the temptation to be hurt and offended
*Release those who have wounded you
*Use love and forgiveness as a powerful weapon to walk in victory over the enemy, the accuser of the brethren. -
Cosmic Initiative : Restoring The Kingdom Igniting The Awakening
$19.99Add to cartJesus never said “Seek first” about any pursuit or purpose except the kingdom of God. But the church has essentially abandoned this central message, so that kingdom realities have become lost to us. Our neglect has been costly, because God’s kingdom on earth; His cosmic initiative; has the authority and power to revolutionize our culture. This transformation occurs first within us and then around us, igniting the world with forgiveness, healings, miracles, righteousness, and peace.The reason most people today do not seek the kingdom is that they have not seen it. Once they truly see it, they seek and follow the remarkable vision they have glimpsed. This is because discovering the kingdom is not just information but an adventure in revelation and transformation.
Well-known speaker and kingdom-seeker Jack Taylor invites us to be reintroduced to the kingdom of God and to experience the recovery of the kingdom gospel leading to kingdom power, kingdom love, and the greatest kingdom harvest the world has ever seen.

Power Principles : The Benefits Of A Wisdom Driven Life
$24.99Add to cartIt has been said that the primary difference between winners and losers is their perspective.
The best chance of real success in business, in government, in the family, in our personal goals-in any realm of life-is to develop a perspective that will enhance and expand upon what we already bring to the table. That unique outlook is a wisdom-driven perspective. Such a viewpoint is rare today because we live in a society that is gorging on information and knowledge while starving for wisdom.
As a businessman and civic leader, Dr. Dale Bronner has been in many challenging places where he has needed to study, test, and apply the principles of wisdom. With the insights he has gleaned in addressing the demands and opportunities of leadership, professional growth, and personal fulfillment, he has helped thousands learn how to realize their maximum capacities.
We don’t really have a leadership problem, a financial problem, a relationship problem, or a problem with any other issue-we ultimately have a wisdom problem. Power Principles guides you into the countless benefits of the wisdom-driven life, demonstrating why wisdom is the “principle thing.”
