Daniel Pure And Simple
$26.99Add to cartThe books of Daniel and Revelation are companions. The prophecies given in Daniel are revealed further in Revelation, and fit together like a hand in a glove.

It’s written in an easy reading format, and as you progress through the book, the stories and prophecies will open up to give you understanding of God’s love and His will for your life. The promise is given in Daniel 12:10 “and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.”

Montana Bullwhacker 2015 Youth Sharing Book
$5.79Add to cartLisha watched the Indians drive stout stakes into the ground on both sides of the big anthill. He saw them uncoil the rawhide thongs. He knew what the scene before him meant. The ropes, the stakes-they could mean but one thing and relate to but one person: himself. Even when they stripped off his clothing, he made himself as one who does not care-who sees death spread before him and defies it. Opportunities in Franklin County, Minnesota, were limited in 1861. For the Rouse brothers, the West, with its promise of a free, adventurous life, had seemed the best option. But the world they were heading into was very different from the world they were leaving.Would they have continued west had they known of the uncharted territories, rugged cowboys, hostile Indians, and violent outlaws they would encounter along the way?The story of Elisha Rouse, one of the original settlers of Bozeman, Montana, reads like a work of fiction. But the story is all true. He learned to survive in the hostile environment of the western frontier. But he learned something else, something far more important, along the way.

Close Of Probation
$28.97Add to cartThe Adventist doctrine of the close of probation has created an immense amount of fear in the minds of many people-the fear that “I’m not good enough. If I’m supposed to be sinless after the close of probation, I’ll never make it!” Fortunately, we need not be afraid. In fact, as we see the events of the end times cascading upon us, we can see the love of God as well as His justice in this doctrine, and that can be a source of hope and happy anticipation. Marvin Moore, editor of Signs of the Times and author of numerous books on the end times, is known for his ability to take complex or obscure subjects and make them understandable, even compelling. In this book, Marvin deals with the following questions and more: Who needs probation, and why?If we need probationary time, why will it be ended?What will happen to us if we’re brought into the presence of a holy God while there is no Intercessor? How perfect must we be? Who closes probation-and how? What do the mark of the beast and the seal of God have to do with the close of probation? Will probation close for everyone at the same instant, or will it close at different times for different people? What does the close of probation mean-what does it do? What implications does our belief in the close of probation have for us as Seventh-day Adventists and for the mission of our church? God has been offering grace and transformation to sinful people for the past six thousand years, and He’s still offering them to us. But time is running out. Probation will end soon, and then God’s offer will be gone forever. “Now is the day of salvation.”

My Favorite Angel Stories
$28.49Add to cartAs Bill watched, the man in gray stepped up onto the running board that led from the front of the engine back to the cab and gave another signal–danger–stop! Then he turned and looked at the engineer. The train was still traveling at full speed, but the hat remained on the man’s head without aid and his clothes were not blown by the wind. They remained in place just as if he were standing in his own parlor. Bill released the throttle, put on all brakes, and whistled for the flag. The train ground to a hard stop and the flagman went out. He had gone only about 150 feet when he signaled with his lantern. “Cave in!”When the crew rushed ahead, they found only a gaping hole where there had been the twin rails and a tool shed. The engineer and the fireman turned to inquire of the man in gray. But the mysterious night rider on that train was never found. He had disappeared just as mysteriously as he had appeared. “When each of us looks back over our lives, rare will be the person who doesn’t see incidents like these, providential rescues, times when our lives were spared by unexplainable deviations from natural law and natural probabilities, when God stepped in, through His angels, to save us.” Joe L. Wheeler

Miracles In Unexpected Places
$20.27Add to cart“The great work of the gospel is not to close with less manifestation of the power of God than marked its opening…Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers.”–THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, 611, 612 There are miracles, and there are miracles, and then there are miracles. Some miracles are meant to appear transcendent while others are simply sleight of hand or tricks of magic. Some so-called miracles are downright fraudulent or can later be explained scientifically. But sometimes, miracles are unexplainable and unrepeatable, incredible and unbelievable-they are, truly, miraculous. Real miracles occur in unexpected places and at unexpected times. When and where God chooses to miraculously intervene in people’s lives is generally unpredictable, but miracles do happen.”I believe that God uses miracles to help increase faith in the hearts of His children here on Earth….The stories within these pages are about miracles that have happened to real people. They tell of God’s presence in this world today and how He loves and cares for humanity.”-Stanley Maxwell

Out Of The Blue
$20.99Add to cartWelcome to Shadow Creek Ranch. When the engine of young pilot Nathan McMillen’s Cessna stalled, he figured he was done for. He was ten thousand feet in the air, flying a small, high-wing airplane over the rugged mountains of western Montana. Under these circumstances, a pilot doesn’t slow to a stop-a pilot potentially glides to a crash.Wendy Hanson had woken up early to celebrate her sixteenth birthday. She couldn’t help but look into the towering mountains surrounding her quiet valley. She could see an airplane in the distance, but I moved without sound, like a phantom flying in the bright summer air. It took her but a moment to realize something was wrong. The plane was headed right toward the only pasture in the area. And right in the middle of that pasture was a horse-her horse. And if she didn’t do something fast, the results wouldn’t be pretty.Shadow Creek Ranch is a special place-full of beautiful things like rivers and mountains, horses to ride, and nature to explore. But it’s also a place for troubled young people to escape from pain, the past, you name it. It’s also for them to heal. Nathan and Wendy’s introduction to each other hadn’t gone very smoothly. But when that airplane fell from the sky and crash-landed at Shadow Creek Ranch, it would start them on an adventure that would not just change their lives forever, but would be a miracle to those around them as well.

3 Angels Over Rancho Grande
$20.59Add to cartPat Martinez looked up into Jim’s cold eyes. “You arrested me once,” Jim said as he fingered the rope in his hands. “But this time, I’ve come after you. I’ll drag you behind my horse until I tear you to pieces!”Alone against Jim and his men, Pat’s mind raced. Instinctively, he dismissed saints and priest and church, and prayed silently to the Being who created the universe. “Lord, please help me! Remember that I have a big family. There’s only one man to take care of that family, and that’s Pat!”Three Angels Over Rancho Grande is the dramatic story of Patrocinio Martinez, a part-Apache pioneer settler in the old Southwest.

10 Choices For A Full Life
$5.09Add to cartAs God’s Children, we are called to make healthy choices and to encourage others to do the same. God has a plan for our health. This is not a news flash. But knowing the facts does not necessarily mean we will change. While Ten choices for a Full Life provides the data, it goes a step further, and inspires us to make these important changes. Ten Choices for a Full Life covers many aspects of healthy living, including physical activity and abstaining from tobacco, alcohol, and other harmful substances. But its holistic approach also incorporates chapters on the importance of cultivating healthy relationships, how to focus on what is true and worthy of praise, and the health benefits found in engaging in unselfish service. Ten Choices for a Full Life makes a clear and compelling case for changing to a healthier lifestyle, and encourages us that no matter how many times we may have failed in our efforts to change, God invites us to reconsider these principles again and to start afresh today. In making this choice, we will honor Him and reap the benefits of a strong mind, improved memory, and increased physical strength. We will be ready to do “the very work God sends us to do,” which is to bless others.

Prophecies Of Daniel Made Simple
$22.39Add to cartDaniel wrote his book a long time ago, so does it really have anything to do with us today? Can Daniel really tell us what to expect in the future? The symbolism in the book of Daniel can be difficult to understand. First comes the giant statue made of different metals, which is smashed by a gigantic rock. Then the four beasts: a lion with eagle’s wings, a hump-backed bear, a leopard with four wings, and some kind of indescribable beast with ten horns and iron teeth. If the symbolism isn’t complicated enough, the book of Daniel uses a lot of unfamiliar words. What is an ‘abomination of desolation”? What kind of language is “mene, mene, tekel, upharsin”? If you’re not confused yet, there are four major schools of thought about how to interpret all these things! If you’ve ever found Bible prophecy difficult to understand, Prophecies of Daniel Made Simple is a perfect book for you. Using interesting illustrations and thoughtful questions, author Seth Pierce will make the symbolism clear, clarify the unfamiliar terms, and explain what the prophecies meant for the prophet Daniel and what they have to say to us today.
