Ye Shall Receive Power
$24.69Add 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
$14.49Add 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.

Authentic
$14.29Add to cartIf you’ve ever wanted a genuine, thriving relationship with Jesus but didn’t know exactly what to do to make it happen, this book was written for you. Even if going through the motions has left you empty, if reading the Bible and praying are just two extra items on your daily to-do list, if you feel far from God, there is hope.The solution isn’t praying longer or reading the entire Bible in a certain amount of time, although praying and reading your Bible are essential to an honest-to-goodness relationship with Jesus. Real relationships involve two-way communication and a connection that inspires actual feelings-cold, hard facts don’t produce love, after all.Within these pages you’ll discover how to come heart-to-heart with Jesus in Scripture, what role multisensory symbols have in the devotional experience, and the key elements of a mutually satisfying, lifelong journey with Jesus.

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.

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.
