Treasure On Spyglass Hill
$20.29Add to cartGary didn’t move. He didn’t even try. He was staring straight up at the great house.
For there on the second-floor balcony, near one of the big windows glowed a light that seemed to float on nothing as it passed pillar after pillar.
And that was not all he saw. Next to that bright circle of light, glowed something yellow, and it was moving too. As the boys continued to watch, a huge black shape flapped around the mysterious light, sometimes hiding it. It floated like a large sheet of cloth blowing in the wind. Moving wildly, it snapped and fought, trying to fly away.
Scott felt sweat running down his back. But never did he or Gary take their eyes off that thing in black or that glowing, yellow light.
The light stopped moving when it reached a corner of the building. Then it vanished completely. And all that remained was the faraway sound of laughter floating down to where they crouched in the dark.
Join best friends Gary and Scott as they try to solve the mystery of the floating lights and learn that treasures don’t always look exactly the way they’d imagined.

Homeward Bound 2016 Daily Adult Devotional
$24.74Add to cartHomeward Bound marks a century’s passing since the death of Ellen G. White and is a special collection that covers some of the major themes she wrote about through the years. Some of the topics covered include surrender and acceptance, victory in Christ, a united church, and the great controversy. In the section “The Book of Books” we find this gem:
The Holy Spirit, sent from heaven by the benevolence of infinite love, takes the things of God and reveals them to every soul that has an implicit faith in Christ. By His power the vital truths upon which the salvation of the soul depends are impressed upon the mind, and the way of life is made so plain that none need err therein.
–Christ Object Lessons, pp. 112,113
She also famously wrote, “We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history” (Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, p. 196). It is our prayer that this volume may remind us not only of how the Lord has led us but also of His teaching through His servant Ellen G. White.

40 Days Book 5
$21.79Add to cartWhat had been a symbol of great shame became a symbol of the great victory over sin that Christ obtained for all who believe in Him.
The cross of Christ is the greatest revelation of love that ever has and that ever will be exhibited in this universe. A love that led our Creator to step down from His throne in heaven, become one of us, and die so our sins can be forgiven.
Scripture is clear: knowing deep in our hearts that God loves us is foundational to our ability to love God and others and, obey God from the heart. If our knowledge of God’s love for us is only intellectual, a head knowledge and not a heart knowledge, then we can only love God, love others, and obey God’s commandments intellectually and not from the heart. The more we understand the love of God as revealed in the cross of Christ, the more we will love God and one another and the more we will become like Jesus Christ in heart and character.
Dennis Smith challenges readers to spend 40 days reflecting on the cross of Christ and to discover anew that the cross of Christ is something to glory in, to rejoice in, and to proclaim to the world!

Time To Forgive
$26.09Add to cartWhat do you do when your daughter’s been murdered-been stabbed to death-and now is lying cold and stiff in a morgue hundreds of miles away? Do you leave her there alone, or do you bring her home?
How do you feel when the funeral is over and you’re watching her-beautiful, peaceful, but too still-disappear from view for the last time as the funeral director lowers and latches the lid of the coffin?
Where was God when the murderer pushed his way into her home and attacked her? Where was He the year before, when, after praying about finding the right place, she moved to that neighborhood and chose that apartment?
And what does God expect of you now? Jesus said we’re to forgive everyone who sins against us. But in forgiving your daughter’s assailant, aren’t you saying, “It’s OK; it wasn’t so bad after all?”
This book has three parts. In the first, Darold Bigger tells us the story of his daughter’s death and what he went through after it. This isn’t a view from a distance. Dr. Bigger lets us into his heart, lets us see what he was thinking and feeling, and how he finally found what he needed to carry on. The second part is an in-depth look at forgiveness. Why God requires us to forgive our enemies, what that means, and how we can do what He’s asked us to. The third part, much briefer than the first two, offers a rather unique-and helpful-look at love. The perspective it provides enables us to more easily love our enemies and forgive them.

Angry Saints
$26.39Add to cartIf the loud cry began in the late 1880s, why is the church still on earth?
Have we fallen into the same spiritual trap as our forebears?
For more than 100 years, Seventh-day Adventists have looked back at the 1888 General Conference Session as a milestone in the church’s history, a turning point in its theological development. But Adventists still sharply disagree over the meaning and significance of the righteousness by faith message expounded in 1888 and the decade following. Some regard Minneapolis as a major victory, while others view it as the denomination’s greatest tragedy. George R. Knight believes it was a mixed blessing-a tragedy that contained the seeds of unending possibility.
Angry Saints is about the people and struggles that existed more than 100 years ago. And even though the specific characters and surface issues have changed, most of the problems, opportunities, dynamics, personality traits, and bedrock controversies portrayed are remarkably contemporary.
Angry Saints brings us to the sobering realization that it is possible to be an Adventist without being a Christian and reveals that belligerence not only fails to solve theological difficulties, it places us in a dangerous position.
So, what will it take to change us into a translation-ready church in which Christ’s character is fully reproduced? Learning and applying the lessons of Minneapolis may well hold the key to our future.

Old Fashioned Camp Meeting
$13.99Add to cartFor eight-year-old Helen, it was hard to decide what she liked most about camp meeting. Was it watching the big tent going up? Helping Mom in the kitchen? Eating Eskimo Pies and grape popsicles? Or was it the music and stories from Eric B. Hare, Josephine Cunnington Edwards, and Del Delker?
The visit by Elder Salau from the Solomon Islands was memorable. He stopped by the Primary tent on Wednesday morning while wearing a skirt made of palm leaves and strings of shells around his neck. He carried a huge shield and a long spear and told stories about how fierce his people had been before missionaries brought them the gospel. Now his people were known around the world for their kindness and gentleness. The boys in Primary were impressed by their visitor’s huge muscles. The girls were amazed at his hair, which was very big and very black with yellow fluff near the ends.
In Old-Fashioned Camp Meeting, each day is filled with excitement, hard work, and fun as Helen, Lyle, and Ted romp through a Minnesota camp meeting long, long ago.

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
$29.99Add 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.

This book is about the people who lived in that western North Carolina community-about the rough, narrow, crooked “hollers” and the well-beaten, wooded paths winding across the hills at the head of the hollers that shortened the distance for the people and students going to the church and school.
