Teachings For The Heart
$17.99Add to cartOne evening in the twentieth year of my life on this earth, God introduced Himself to me. It was personal, intimate, exciting, revealing, and a whole lot of other things that are just too hard to describe. It was wonderful! I needed to know more about this God and therefore reasoned I would need a religion that was also seeking after Him. The next thirty years were spent going from church to church and teacher to teacher, but never really getting any closer to my goal. I was led to start over, this time with the Holy Spirit as my exclusive guide and teacher. To keep myself organized, I started writing. I only documented what I knew in my heart was true. This is what I wrote. This is what I learned. This is how it begins. I humbly present these elementary teachings for the heart; a primer for spiritual growth.

Renewing The Face Of The Earth
$21.00Add to cartThis important and timely study provides a much needed theological framework for considering and responding to the challenges of climate change. In a highly readable and clear style, it explores the spiritual questions being opened up by this issue: questions about human life and destiny, about our relationship to the planet and to each other, about altruism and selfishness, about the place of technology, about justice, our values and hopes. A practical exploration of these questions is set in the context of the biblical notions of covenant – God’s commitment to creation which David Atkinson sees as the ‘inner meaning’ of creation, and sabbath – regular times of rest and replenishment for humans and for the earth itself. Seeing climate changes in the light of these biblical concepts reveals a strong moral imperative to act in ways that are help to bring about the New Testament hope that the whole of creation will one day be renewed in Christ.

Cold Paws Warm Heart
$20.99Add to cartDo animals go to heaven? Are they too important in the lives of today’s Christians or not important enough?

Twenty-nine books of the KJV Bible and over two-hundred and fifty verses later, Cold Paws, Warm Heart gives simple direct answers to the questions, “How does God feel about animals?” “How are we supposed to treat them?” and “Do animals go to heaven?” The answers given are illustrated with stories from the Bible, fascinating interviews and stories from several knowledgeable persons, and the author’s own personal experiences with animals. Cold Paws, Warm Heart makes it easy for Christian parents to answer their children’s questions about animals and heaven with confidence.

I Heart Bloomberg
$16.00Add to cartKendall’s managed to wrangle her grandmother’s house–free and clear–except for the rules. No male roommates. But that’s ok, with the right ad she’ll pull in some girls, their rent and if she’s lucky, she won’t have to go to work any time soon.
For their part, Anna, Lelani, and Megan all have their reasons for wanting to move in: Anna has got to get out from under her overprotective parents; Lelani can’t take another day in her aunt’s tiny crackerbox house overflowing with toddlers and Megan needs a place free of her current roommate from Hades. Though they come with assorted extra baggage filled with broken hearts and dreams, they will discover they also have a vast array of hidden strengths.
As they struggle to become the women they want to be, they’ll find new hope and maybe even Kendall will learn a thing or two about life, love and the true meaning of friendship.

Earthy Mysticism : Spirituality For Unspiritual People
$19.99Add to cartThis book, says the author, is “a testimony of narratives where [a] strange God appears. Such appearances supply the mystical states that have come to shape my life. I am not helped much by conventional approaches to spirituality. I find it almost impossible to do ‘devotions.’ Daily Bible study in the sense of devoting twenty to thirty minutes a day never worked for me. I cannot get around to scheduled times for prayer on my knees with head bowed. I find labyrinths and prayer beads boring. I am ever and again distracted in silent meditation. I simply cannot sustain a spirituality based in such things.
“I do not regard myself as unusual or special. My hunch, and it is more than that, is that a host of people will recognize themselves in what I describe here. What is here is, clearly, my story, but it is not about me. It is about a God of surprises, of One who comes in the ordinary and the seamy. It is about a God who will goose you. It is about mystical moments when clearly the only thing that finally matters is this God who will never leave us alone, especially in the ordinary and angular places of life. It is, I hope, a spirituality for unspiritual people.” -
Partial Rapture Theory Explained
$18.99Add to cartThe Rapture of the Bride of Christ is the next event scheduled inside the plan of God which was spoken into existence complete from beginning to end in a “moment” before time. With its occurrence the Church Age will come to its conclusion and the final chapter of the history of the world will begin with The Great Tribulation. All who have failed to heed the warnings clearly stated by the Word of God that would have pointed each to an escape of this gruesome period of history, will be engulfed by the horrors it will bring. Deceit, betrayal and perversion will be the norm. No one will be safe or can be trusted. Once entered, the only available exit will be through the passageway of physical death which will be so common as to not be a second thought on the mind of a twisted and bloodthirsty world.

Heart Of Creation
$17.99Add to cartWe take it for granted that aspects of monastic life can sustain our daily lives in the world, but we owe this understanding to John Main, a Benedictine monk who pioneered the idea that the desert tradition of meditative or contemplative prayer, which had largely been forgotten in the West, was for all Christians. At his monastery in London he started teaching this way of prayer to lay groups and a network of meditation groups came into being, quickly spreading throughout the world and renewing a sense of the Church as a fellowship rooted in prayer and contemplative action. Bestselling books soon grew out of his talks. This simple, practical guide to ‘pure prayer’ teaches that by ceasing to struggle to find words and images by which we all too easily try to control God, we give God freedom to be himself in our hearts and we begin to pray with ‘the mind of Christ’, as St Paul teaches. In a nervous world saturated with image and endless self-commentary, this is a nourishing, life-giving stream of hope and refreshment.

Inside My Heart
$14.99Add to cartI believe we were put on this earth to enjoy lives of joy and abundance, and that is what I want for you and for me. It’s not my intention to give people advice on how to solve their problems (I leave that to my husband).

In fact, she’s convinced that you must choose to go after the life you want.

Martin Luther King
$16.00Add to cartForty years after Dr King’s death his message remains as radical and relevant as ever.
‘A clear, well researched, and ground breaking text. Harding unites the objectivitiy of a scientific investigation with an empathy for justice, and marshals a compelling argument for a re-articulation of the heroic dimensions of Martin Luther King, Jr.’ – Dwight Hopkins
In these eloquent essays, noted scholar and activist Vincent Harding reflects on the forgotten legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr and his message for today. While many prefer to embrace the ‘safer’ message of King’s stirring ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, Harding writes passionately of King’s later years, when his message and witness became more radical and challenging to the status quo at every level. The widening of King’s message and tactics reflected an expansion of his critique of American injustice and his solidarity with the oppressed. It was this vision, in 1968, that brought him to Memphis, where he paid the final price for his prophetic witness. It is that ‘inconvenient hero’ who speaks so urgently to the challenges of our time.

At The Heart Of The Gospel
$22.99Add to cartSuffering, while a part of the human condition, is a state of being we would rather ignore. L. Ann Jervis here presents a convincing argument that human suffering is worth considering and offers the words of Paul as proof. Paul’s insights into the predicament and significance of suffering provide the foundation for some of Christianity’s most profound and unique contributions to understanding human life. Examination of three of his letters “1 Thessalonians, Philippians, and Romans” reveals his important reflections on accepting the suffering of believers in light of a conviction that, while we suffer, we know there will come a time when, because God’s plan for creation does not include suffering, God will ultimately banish it. Consequently, believing sufferers are not victims of suffering. Jervis hopes that hearing Paul’s words on suffering in a fresh light may allow readers to be deeply marked, like the saints and shapers of Christianity, by the power of a gospel of which it is not necessary to be ashamed, precisely because it is not easy, but transformative.

Emerging Heart : Global Spirituality And The Sacred
$24.00Add to cartMillions of Americans have adopted and adapted spiritual practices and virtues from a variety of traditions. What are they looking for? Theologian and retreat leader Beverly Lanzetta believes that our contemporary world desperately seeks a shared spiritual foundation adequate to meet our most pressing moral, religious, economic, and social issues. We need, she argues, a spiritual vocabulary to describe the unspoken, to interpret our common humanity, and to articulate our earthly concerns in a way respectful and inclusive of all.
Highlighting pioneers of global spirituality such as Thomas Merton, Thich Nhat Hanh, Abraham Heschel, Mohandas Gandhi, Howard Thurman, Bede Griffiths, and Dorothy Day, Emerging Heart shows how a variety of religious traditions emerge from and converge on a divine nature and mystic quality that creates a loving heart. Lanzetta first describes this phenomenon in her own experience and then elaborates on that mystical core, the notion of the divine, the new shape of interreligious dialogue, pioneers of this new global spirituality, and the personal, spiritual, and ethical challenges that it poses to us.
This is a book of breathtaking insight and high moral ambition to restore our sense of human possibility and high purpose.

Martyr Of The Amazon
$18.00Add to cartThe inspiring story of an American nun who died defending the poor and God’s creation.
“I strongly identify with the journey of Sister Dorothy Stang: from teaching kids in school, to recognizing Jesus in the poor, to embracing a faith that does justice-wherever that may lead. Sr. Dorothy gave her life for the gospel. Her witness on behalf of God’s creation and the poor could not offer a more timely challenge and inspiration.” -Sr. Helen Prejean, author, Dead Man Walking
. . . The hired gunmen who confronted Sister Dorothy asked her if she was carrying a weapon. She produced her Bible and began to read from the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice . . . Blessed are the peacemakers . . . .” And then they shot her.
The murder in 2005 of an American nun, Sister Dorothy Stang, focused the world’s attention on the plight of poor farmers in the Brazilian Amazon and their struggles against rapacious developers. Sister Dorothy had worked in Brazil for forty years. From a conventional nun in the pre-Vatican II era, she had developed a keen social conscience and, increasingly, a deep, mystical commitment to the integrity of Creation. These ideals combined in her advocacy for the rights of the poor and her defense of the imperiled rain forest. They also earned her the enmity of land-grabbing ranchers who repeatedly threatened her. “All I ask,” she wrote, “is God’s grace to help me keep on this journey, fighting for the people to have a more egalitarian life and that we learn to respect God’s creation.”

You’ll find it hard to simply say “good for you” and leave it at that. Read it today. You’ll want to give one to friends. Don’t waste another day of your life just trying to put the best face on things.
