Looking For A City
$21.89Add to cartWe know how the story ends we stand before the throne of God on a sea of glass, with voices upon voices of redeemed ones singing 100 billion stanzas of a song of joy. But we’re not there yet. God’s people pilgrims are still finding their way through a mad world, navigating the chaos of militant atheism, evolutionary theory, lies dressed as doctrine, confusion, and the pain of loss and suffering. We are haunted by the ever-present question: How do we make it from where we are now to the glory of the unveiled presence of God? And furthermore, why are we still here? Where is our rescue? And yet the hope that lights our way never flickers. Within the pages of this book you’ll find important briefings for pilgrims inspiration for the quest, course corrections, and peace that defies explanation as we continue looking for a city.

Haystacks Church
$14.47Add to cartHaystacks are a fitting symbol of the diversity that exists in the Adventist Church. We are all so different-we have assorted talents, perspectives, struggles, and triumphs. And we mingle together in different combinations according to geographic location, preferences in worship style, and even age range. So what does this mixture “taste” like? What does it mean to be Adventist, to be part of the Adventist Church?Andy Nash explores issues that Adventists grapple with collectively. He ponders the reason young people are leaving the church. He studies the backgrounds of various Bible passages. He wonders how Jesus would do church, and challenges us to give up our dream-as part of living out the first commandment. Male or female, young or old, rich or poor, vegan or omnivore, we’re in it together-haystacks.

Guides Greatest Change Of Heart Stories
$28.49Add to cartThere’s more than one way to discover what’s truly important in life.A furious bull convinces a teen to give his heart to God.

40 Days Prayers And Devotions On Earths Final Events Book 4
$21.79Add to cart“Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” – Matthew 24:42Jesus told His disciples that only God the Father knows the day and the hour of the Second Coming. He didn’t leave His followers in the dark, though, and described the signs that would alert us to the nearness of that glorious event.The devotional studies in this book draw from these signs and other prophecies scattered throughout the Bible to trace the events that will take place just prior to Jesus’ return. Knowing what will happen is only a small part of being ready to meet Him, though, because a genuine, thriving relationship with Jesus is the determining factor of an individual’s readiness. The readings also emphasize the essential elements of personal study of God’s Word, prayer, and understanding and experiencing the baptism of the Holy Spirit and righteousness by faith.As do the previous 40 Days devotionals, this study encompasses a broader mission. It isn’t God’s plan for us to keep to ourselves the knowledge of His Word. We are called to reach out to others with His love and share His promises so that they too may watch and be ready.

Ye Shall Receive Power
$25.49Add to cartJesus told his disciples, “Behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until yet be endured with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). Their obedience to His command allowed the Holy Spirit to transform these quarrelsome, self-centered men into fearless evangelists.So it is with us. It is only through the influence of the Holy Spirit that Christians are able to live for Christ. These excerpts from Ellen G. White’s writings are full of references to the work of the Holy Spirit, the complete transformation that He brings about in a believer’s life, and just how desperately we need Him. “It is the Spirit that makes effectual what has been wrought out by the world’s Redeemer. It is by the Spirit that the heart is made pure. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ has given His Spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and to impress His own character on His Church.”

To Build A Life
$5.77Add to cart‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'” – Jeremiah 29:11, NIVThis verse in Jeremiah is one of the best-known verses in the Bible. We love the sound of prosperity and an eternal future. Yet we’re not often fond of actually following God’s plans-we’re convinced that our own plans to pursue comfort, respect, and influence are superior to what He has in mind.Luke Heimann was a Bible-believing Christian, but money and success were his gods. He just didn’t know it. When he finally realized that he didn’t have love, joy, or peace-and wondered what life would be like if he did-he gave God 30 days to let him know why he didn’t have them and how to get them.God is in the business of answering sincere queries. Luke didn’t find the answer overnight, but what he had been searching for in all the wrong places was as plain as day once he let God reconstruct his life.

Ministry To The Cities
$14.99Add to cartJesus’ admonition to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19, NIV) resonates in the hearts of those who love Him supremely. Every individual must be given the opportunity to choose between life and death.This volume is a call to action-a plea for believers to work for their Savior by bringing the gospel to the millions of people in the cities of the world. Topics include the challenges of ministering in the city, strategies, methods, selecting and training workers, and lessons from Scripture.Yes, the work will require much effort, especially in our day and age. But Ellen G. White doesn’t mince words: “Do not hover over the churches to repeat over and over again the same truths to the people, while the cities are left in ignorance and sin, unwarned and unlabored for” (The Upward Look, p. 274).

Showers Of Grasshoppers And Other Miracle Stories From Africa
$14.47Add to cart“I thought God would protect our fields if we paid our tithe,” Motumba stammered. “Why isn’t He saving our fields?”
Danso stood with his son, watching in despair as the locusts continued eating. Maybe God didn’t really care about their plight. After all, if God wanted to, He could stop the hordes of grasshoppers from eating up their crops, couldn’t He?
After keeping the seventh day holy for the first time, Danso and his family walked 30 miles (50 kilometers) to worship with other believers the following Sabbath. There they learned about tithing and decided to return 10 percent of their meager income to God, starting with the money they had brought on their journey. Soon the family’s cash crop of green beans, planted on two hectares of land near the town of Babban Zugu in Nigeria, would be ready to harvest.
Then the grasshoppers descended from the sky like raindrops in a torrential storm.
Showers of Grasshoppers and Other Miracle Stories From Africa chronicles the experiences of believers whose faithfulness in the little things prepared them to be faithful when times were the hardest, and the miracles God worked to save their lives.

Cracked Glasses
$12.97Add to cartIt was an accident, of course. You didn’t mean to drop the glass, but a slight miscommunication between your eyes, brain, and fingers condemned the fragile object to a rapid demise. Before you could blink, the glass was in pieces. Ruined. Useless.Isn’t that how we feel sometimes? The Christian life is too hard, we’ve made too many mistakes, we are broken and our hopes for healing lie shattered alongside our good intentions. We wonder what value we could possibly be to God in this condition. Why would He even bother with us? We’re ruined. Useless.So how do you become a genuine Christian when you feel like a pile of shards in need of superglue? (Or when you’re all cracked up, but think you’ve got it all together?) Heather Marie Thompson explores myths that make us feel we’re not good enough for God, external distractions that keep us from spending time with Him, and what it means to be an authentic Christian in a phony world.

Fundamentals Of Christian Education
$37.49Add to cartThere is no doubt that Ellen White had a profound interest in Christian education-she wrote numerous articles, pamphlets, and books on the subject. Flowing throughout these writings is one constant, abiding theme: education is to bring the student ever nearer to God. It begins at home and continues into the school, but always “true education embraces physical, mental, and moral training, in order that all the powers shall be fitted for the best development, to do service for God, and to work for the uplifting of humanity” (p. 387). Containing articles drawn from various sources, the book does not duplicate selections from her others books on education (with the exception of the first chapter). Such topics as the proper education of the young, the basis of true education, teachers as examples of Christian integrity, and the true ideal for youth are arranged chronologically to emphasize the historical setting.

Miracle On The Mountain
$14.47Add to cartThe mountain erupted with a terrific roar and a deafening explosion. Liquid mud poured down the steep slopes like a great rolling tide, destroying everything in its path. Li Hua was sure she could not run fast enough to escape it. She was frozen in place as she watched the rivers of mud smash into houses of bamboo, knocking them over as if they were made of paper. Others like Li Hua were trapped in the village, mostly the old ones, the crippled, or the very sick. “Help us, Li Hua!” they cried. “Pray to your God, or we will all surely die!”Miracle on the Mountain is a collection of twelve extraordinary mission stories of faith and courage from around the globe. Stand alongside Li Hua and Segfred as they face certain death. Walk beside Genya and Won Tak as they preach the gospel against all odds, and journey with Philipp and Thomas to the ends of the earth to share the truth of the three angels’ messages.
