Christmas In My Heart Book 24
$23.99Add to cartIn a world that oftentimes seems to have lost its moorings, where knowledge increases at such a dizzying rate that no one can keep up with it, it is good to back away from it all in islands of serenity-and ponder the deeper meaning.
Which brings each of us to the ultimate question: Where in all this nonstop chaotic frenzy of hype and self-promotion is God?
When we do this, inevitably our thoughts travel back, back, back in time to a lowly stable in a little hamlet called Bethlehem, inside which a baby was being born. And high overhead: a blazing star.
Christmas was also born that day.

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
$24.69Add 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.
