Fighter
$20.99Add to cartAt the age of twelve, Piari already had a number of kills under his belt. The strategy, skill, and thrill of the fight charmed him. He loved the fight. He lived for it. That was his life-Piari, fighter! Piari, warrior!
Set in the highlands of Papua New Guinea in the 1940s and 1950s, this is the story of a tribal warrior. Whether in ancient times or modern, the role of the warrior that goes into battle is often glorified. But when it comes to recognizing true bravery, often the highest awards and accolades go to those who have risked their lives in order to save others.
Piari was such a warrior. Though he started out thirsting for the kill, he ultimately traded his weapons for a Bible and tribal skirmishes for a real battle-the battle between good and evil. And this makes Piari the bravest warrior of all.

13 Weeks To Love
$23.79Add to cartSomewhere along the line, a bond fractured, or at least twisted into a malfunctioning tangle.
You regret it, but cannot seem to fix it.
If this sounds achingly familiar to you just now, then take courage for God knows how to help the brokenhearted. Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come to give “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (Isaiah 61:3, NKJV). God gave Himself to show us an unimaginable kind of love.
In 13 Weeks to Love, author and speaker Jennifer Jill Schwirzer shows how to live God’s love and how doing so fulfills the purpose for which He created us. God is love and we, as His image bearers, possess the capacity for love.
Because love is fundamental to life itself and because it’s all we’ll really care about in the end, let’s care about it now. Let’s make it our first study, our science, our song.

Adventist Maverick : Celebrating The Works Of George Knight
$27.99Add to cartDr. George R. Knight is a man on a mission. He wants people to know by experience the riches of God’s grace in Christ.
Knight is an accomplished speaker and teacher, but writing has been his primary mode of communication. He began with the history and philosophy of Christian education and then added the history and theology of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He has also taken special interest in growing the church’s understanding of Ellen White and how her writings should be interpreted and applied.
Adventist scholars admire Knight’s penchant for treating controversial issues such as the Shut Door, the 1888 General Conference, the 1901 reorganization, and Ellen White’s inspiration in an open, honest, and balanced way. At times, his method has reached beyond the controversial to the shocking. One of his books bears the name Myths in Adventism; a chapter in his book on the Crucifixion is called “The Bible’s Most Disgusting Teaching”; and he titled one of his articles “Adolf Hitler and Ellen White ‘Agree’ on the Purposes of Adventist Education.”
But Knight doesn’t shock merely for effect. He does it to get people’s attention despite the noise that today’s culture has accustomed them.
This book is a collection of writings that give a great overview of Dr. George R. Knight’s many outstanding contibutions to the Seventh-day Adventist church. Topics covered are the issues of a hermeneutic for understanding and applying Ellen White’s writings, Christology, last-generation perfectionism, substitution and sacrifice as more than mere metaphors, and Ellen White’s counsels on lifestyle as based on principle rather than rigid literalism.

Change Your Words Change Your Life
$17.99Add to cart“Words are a big deal. They are containers for power, and we have to decide what kind of power we want our words to carry. … I believe that our words can increase or decrease our level of joy.
