This is a conflict not only of cosmic proportion but also of personal significance. We see glimpses of our God’s face only in the dark depths and in the triumphs of this controversy. God’s story and Satan’s story are at war. Whom will you believe?

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.

Waiting Heart
$11.17Add to cartTranquility Hazelwood is anything but tranquil. Independent, determined, opinionated, talkative, and frustrated, yes. Cool and composed, no. And what’s been ruffling her feathers lately is that question a certain speaker dared tell a group of single women to ask themselves: “Why am I not married by now?”That question sticks in her mind like a thorn. Still unmarried, and with her biological clock ticking, her impatience is rising-someone thinks it’s her fault she’s not married yet?When she finally stops seeing red and really thinks about this audacious question, she discovers she has an irresistible urge to ask other single women the very same thing. Nicely, of course. Sincerely. Maybe their answers will help her figure out some of her own issues, starting with that question of why God hadn’t sent along Mr. Right yet.Two lists and 21 interviews later those answers weren’t exactly what she’d been expecting.

40 Days Prayers And Devotions On Earths Final Events Book 4
$20.99Add 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.
