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
$36.29Add 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.

God Named Desire
$26.09Add to cartWe are creatures of intense desire. We emerge from the womb longing for touch and affection. Desire pulsates within us every waking moment of our lives. Our hearts are fueled by hungry yearnings for connection, for relationship, for a sense of belonging. We plunge into life, giving ourselves away to him or her, to this or that, drinking in every promise of fulfillment. And yet, we always emerge from the quest for love still feeling a persistent and insatiable desire for something more. A God Named Desire is about that something more. There are some books that speak with an unusual level of clarity to the deepest issues that press the human heart. This is one of those rare books. You will never see God, or yourself, the same after the insights of A God Named Desire are introduced into your mind.”A God Named Desire is the best book I have read on the nature of God. Ty Gibson starts with the needs of fallen humans, they are self centred and need love. But self centred love does not satisfy. He then concisely paints a picture of God’s continual energetic love. This love is other centred. Drawing insights from human thought leaders, personal experience and Scripture each chapter gives a perspective of God’s love that opens the mind and moves the heart. Gibson’s succinct style will challenge someone seeking God and someone who has known God for ages. This is a brilliant and heart warming read.”Glenn Townend, President, Western Australian Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

Courage For The Crisis
$16.77Add to cartThe world is moving into ever-deepening crisis. . . . Scarcely a month passes without a book being published by some philosopher, historian, or theologian, dissecting current trends and warning of the future.”Half a century has passed since Arthur S. Maxwell wrote those words. Is the world a safer place now than it was then? Honest observers are bound to say No. In fact, if anything, life today has become even more uncertain, even less stable, than it was fifty years ago.What do we need in times like these? Maxwell says it isn’t “a mere knowledge of the crisis, but courage to meet it.”And where can we get that courage? Maxwell says from God. From the Cross. From good habits-such as obedience, worship, and dedication. And from the great certainties-such as God’s victory over evil, Jesus’ second coming, and the reality of heaven.
