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.

Snapshots Focus On Nature In The Bible
$25.95Add to cartYou probably remember Bible stories by using a sort of “who’s who” process, right?

In this book Laurie Chance Smith groups biblical stories that focus on specific aspects of nature and provides background information and spiritual application.

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.

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.

Clamor De Libertad – (Spanish)
$6.47Add to cartEveryone, sooner or later is confronted with the pain of oppression. It’s not about the physical confinement, there are prisoners who are free and free people who are prisoners. It’s the oppression of feelings and circumstances, of fear, anxiety, hunger, immorality, of war and death. All have experienced the cruelty of life, the injustice and frustration. We are prisoners of the visible and the invisible, bound by unhappiness and disappointments, without daring to hope for anything better.
This book champions the freedom found in faith. It invites the reader to believe the promise of the Liberator from all oppression, who said “if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” Jn 8:36. You will learn to fight against the chains that hod you and accept the precious gift that god offers: freedom.
