God Was There
$7.27
Murder, suicide, drug raids,-through it all-God was there.And so was police chaplain, Martin Weber.
These true stories of victims and criminals expose a side of life that most of us are fortunate to never experience. But the pain of crime and sin is very real and very personal. Go along with Chaplain Weber as he stands with others in their greatest times of need. You will meet:
A murderer who confesses his crime-with the blood still on his hands.
A man dying from Aids-who asked for anointing and wanted to go home to his Adventist family.
A woman whose husband dropped dead-while they were arguing.
A young man traumatized by seeing his family killed-in front of his own eyes.
We are all sinners. We need a refuge, a place of grace to which we can escape. Christianity has much to say about the historic Jesus on the streets of long-ago Galilee. Adventists look forward to the Second Coming of Christ and the new heavens and the New Earth. But we need Jesus now!
The Bible offers a much-overlooked solution. Between the first-century Savior and our everlasting Lord, Jesus is an always present help in times of trouble. “Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.” (Hebrews 4:14).
Think you know someone beyond hope? Think again. In the midst of our pain, God is always there.

Time To Bloom
$20.99Add to cartThe Nielsen sisters have accomplished much in the past year, traveling west and settling in Nebraska. They are on their way to rebuilding their mother’s garden, and their excitement only grows when they receive a letter from their brother Anders saying he’s coming to visit with a friend from the war. However, none of that can mask their concern that they are quickly running out of money. Del’s work teaching in town offers hope, not only to support her sisters but also to better her students’ lives. Not all see it that way, though, with the town lagging on rebuilding the schoolhouse and her brightest student’s father demanding he work the farm instead of learn. An invasion of grasshoppers only makes things worse.When Anders arrives with his war-wounded friend RJ, he sees the strength of the sisters’ idea to start a boardinghouse with the train coming to town. He invests in it and suggests RJ build it. Del finds RJ barely polite and wants nothing to do with him. But despite Del and her sisters’ best-laid plans, the future–and RJ–might surprise them all.

Samuel Rutherford : The Law, The Prince And The Scribe
$11.99Add to cartWhen Samuel Rutherford picked up his pen he changed lives, maybe even across continents. What he wrote influenced the American constitution but where his real power and passion was felt was in the letters that his warm pastor’s heart wrote to the people of his parish.
His book Lex Rex was burned on a pyre but his notes of comfort and wisdom were cherished by those he cared to guide and counsel.
Accused of treason he died of illness before there was time to make him a martyr and on his gravestone today, just west of the Bell Tower in St. Andrews Cathedral are engraved the striking words that sum up his life, “Acquainted with Emmanuel’s Love’.
