Mystery Of Israel
$14.99Add to cartThe Jews are only a fraction of 1 percent of the world’s population. So why do they continue to occupy center stage in world affairs? Jacques B. Doukhan, an Adventist scholar of Jewish heritage, attempts to unravel the mystery of Israel by taking a closer look at the scriptural evidence.
Doukhan shows how careless interpretations of Scripture can spawn anti-Semitism. He examines the traditional theories: Has God rejected the Jews as His special people and replaced them with the Christian church (supersessionism)? Or does He have two separate ways of salvation, Judaism and Christianity, under different covenants (dispensationalism)? Or is there a third and better way to understand God’s plan for the Jew?
Israel has the law without Jesus, and the church has Jesus without the law. Doukhan argues that the movements diverged when Christianity rejected the law, and suggests that Adventism can play an important role in healing the breach.

Champions Of The King
$23.19Add to cartJesus’ worst enemy is about to become His best friend, and history will flow in a new channel. As Saul the Slayer becomes Paul the apostle, you are there, watching him and his fiends-Peter, Barnabas, Silas, Luke, John-turn the world upside down.
Welcome to the acts of the Apostles as you’ve never known it before. Flat Bible characters suddenly jump into rich 3-D. Ancient stories come alive through the eyes of Bible-times children who are right there on the scene.

And that’s just the beginning. Antonia, Thaddeus, Sulimon, Dion, and all the rest will keep you smack-dab in the center of the action during the exciting cradle years of the Christian church. Let’s go!

Guides Greatest Sabbath Stories
$19.59Add to cart“I will give you people exactly five minutes to decide whether or not you will work on Saturday.”
Within five seconds came their determined but respectful reply. “We cannot and will not work on the Sabbath, though the heavens fall!”
“What?” screamed the astonished Nazi, almost dropping his eyeglasses. “Well, then,” he stammered, “I hope your God can hear through the walls of a concentration camp!”
Here is a collection of amazing but true stories about God’s faithfulness to those who honor His holy day. A father has no money to send his children to church school until his boss offers him a raise-if he will work on Sabbath just this once. A son is offered a stack of money if he will forget his Adventist scruples. A man with a gun aimed at his heart has to decide whether to honor his conscience.
Seventh-day Adventist athletes face Sabbath tournaments, musicians face Sabbath recitals, and students face Sabbath exams. Fishermen leave huge fish waiting in their nets at Friday sundown. Even inanimate objects honor the Sabbath-like the hammer that wouldn’t work on that day, the thick harness torn in two by an invisible hand, and one super capacity water jug.
Sometimes angels get into the act. One explains the seventh day in a dream. Helpful guides appear and disappear. A mysterious porter brings baked potatoes to a young man bleeding from the lash of his chief who demands he carry a load on the Sabbath. In each case God provides for His own.
Taken from 50 years of Guide, a magazine for Christian youth, these stories prove God’s promise: “Those who honor me I will honor” (1 Samuel 2:30, NIV).

Faith And Works
$23.19Add to cartThat is the message of these 18 readings (written 1881-1902) on the topic of salvation. The gem of the collection is an 1890 manuscript, perhaps Ellen White’s most definitive statement on justification by faith, written during the theological ferment that followed that Minneapolis General Conference of 1888.
While emphasizing the importance of obedience, she wrote, “It is not possible to effect anything in our standing before God or in the gift of God to us through creature merit…Justification is wholly of grace and not procured by any works that fallen man can do…Any works that man can render to God will be far less than nothingness.”
This volume portrays a God of grace who embraces every sinful, struggling soul who accepts His offer of righteousness by faith.

(James 5:15)That promise is the subject of this book. After offering a collection of pertinent biblical passages, Ellen G. White sets forth conditions for answered prayer and explains why God does not always say Yes to every request for healing.

Christmas In My Heart Book 12
$20.29Add to cartTo one of the longest-running Christmas story anthologies in American history we add yet another volume–our twelfth in 12 years. The series is one of the finest libraries of Christmas stories in English. What’s the secret of its appeal? Perhaps it’s the lump-in-the-throat factor, the moving stories that grip the heart and moisten the eyes. Fortunately, all 12 volumes are still available in print at the original price.
In this year’s collection Senator John McCain of Arizona recalls his most special Christmas, celebrated in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp, where men of faith, joyful and triumphant in the face of torment, exchanged gifts they did not have.
Another selection tells the story of the birth of “Silent Night,” one of the songs the prisoners sang. Other stories tell of Christmas money lost and then better-than-found; of relationships mended; of temptations trumped; of orphans nurtured; of lovers reunited. In these pages the human spirit, with all its passion and pride, faith and foibles, finds hope once again in a manger.

Prayer Warriors
$13.99Add to cartPrayer Warriors, says evangelist Ron Halvorsen, are God’s Special Forces-His elite front-line troops in the great war between good and evil.
It is one thing to pray, as all Christians are privileged to do. It is quite another to become a specialist in prayer-to become an expert in communicating with God.
Once a teen gang leader on the mean streets of New York City, Ron Halvorsen was a warrior who took orders from the commander of all evil in the universe. Then God drafted him into His own army, and the militant gang leader became a militant Prayer Warrior.
In this book, you will learn how to prevail with God, to wrestle with Him in prayer, to intercede on behalf of others, to boldly storm God’s throne with your requests and press them home with a determination that will not be denied.
Here you will learn the science of prayer-the laws of praying that, when followed, bring unprecedented power into your spiritual life. You will learn that your prayers alone-just yours-can make an eternal and decisive difference in your life and the lives of others. You will learn how to pray so powerfully that the awesome forces of evil tremble and fall back.
Prayer Warriors are not ordinary Christians. They are extraordinary. And as the age-old battle between good and evil rages to a climax, God needs a highly trained cadre of prayer experts to take the battle straight to the enemy.
Will you be one of them?

Prophecy Made Easy
$7.67Add to cartFrom the back cover:
Does “black” mean “white”? Does “happy” mean “sad”? Then how on earth do some scholars expect us to believe that “reveal” means “hide”?
Yet that’s exactly what many so-called Bible scholars say about the prophetic book of Revelation–that it’s a book God never intended to be understood, that its prophecies are mysteries that God intended should remain hidden from us. But again, what does the word “revelation” suggest to you? “Revealing” or “hiding”?In Prophecy Made Easy, the author maintains that Bible prophecy is not impossibly complex and mysterious. He says that it doesn’t take a doctorate or seminary degree to understand God’s messages in the book of Revelation and its companion prophetic book–the Old Testament book of Daniel. He shows how the Bible itself provides all the keys necessary to understanding the times and symbols of Bible prophecy.
Among the most successful books in print these days are those that promise to simplify various topics so that even “dummies” or “idiots” can understand them! No one needs to feel like a dummy or idiot when it comes to Bible prophecy–it is accessible to every one of us, no matter what our intelligence or education. And understanding Bible prophecy has never been more critical and urgent. We’ve now crossed over into a new millennium. Our world is clearly in trouble. Where are we headed? Could we be witnessing the final days of Planet Earth? How will the future affect you and your life plans?
This book and your Bible will help you find answers to these questions–and help you experience the future–now!
