Reinvent Your Sabbath School
$17.39
Dale claims his Sabbath school class is “a little piece of heaven on earth.” Sig says, “I hate to miss a Sabbath!” Sound familiar? If not, you need this book.
Is your Sabbath school missing something? What if boring became a thing of the past? What if a class became a family? What if prayer time became so exciting it usually took 25 minutes? What if people really cared for one another? What if members wrote cards–right then and there–to people they were praying for?
Chris and Yolanda Blake show–not just tell–how to start a ministry-driven Sabbath school class with real-time blow-by-blow sound bites from their functioning class. They discuss dozens of practical ideas, list the pitfalls to avoid, and offer guides to the available denominational resources.
By making five ministries the heartbeat of your church, you can transform your Sabbath school into the most delightful hour of the week. This book tells you how.
Chris Blake, former editor of Insight magazine, is associate professor of English at Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska. Books he has authored include A Reason to Believe, Insight’s Most Unforgettable Stories, and Searching for a God to Love.

John Chrysostom : The Preacher In The Emperor’s Court
$11.99Add to cartThere was something about John Chrysostom and the words he spoke that lit up his world.
He was an important leader of the early church, known so much for his preaching and public speaking that he was given the nickname Golden Mouth. He spoke his mind and followed his convictions. He refused to host the lavish social gatherings that his predecessors had laid on. This meant that John Chrysostom really annoyed the wealthy citizens of Constantinople. He spoke out against how many influential Christians cared little for the poor.“It is madness to fill your cupboards with clothing while other human beings stand naked and trembling with the cold so that they can hardly hold themselves upright.”
It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor John spoke the truth – emphatically. Even the empress fell under his criticism which eventually led to his exile and death.

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.
