Code Red : Wars Of The Heart
$15.99Add to cartCodes are a part of our everyday lives. Medical, health, and emergency services use codes to identify the condition of a patient or situation. For example, Code Red indicates a fire, while Code Blue signifies cardiac or respiratory arrest. While Code Red indicates immediate danger, Code Blue indicates imminent death, both naturally and spiritually. Codes rule the world; namely geneticmorris- bar-government-moral-war and the codes of laws. Code Red applies to situations that are dangerous to one’s spiritual health and welfare. It is a warning to be alert and to take immediate action. Left unresolved, a spiritual Code Red situation can quickly become Code Blue. Both evil codes work to lead every soul unto the most deadly code of all called 666. If the church is to fulfill God’s purpose and win the lost, it must be victorious over Code Red and cleanse itself of all unrighteousness. Hosea 4:6 says that “God’s people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.” A new heart is our best defense and only Jesus Christ can give it to us. Jesus Christ, our “heart specialist,” walked upon this earth healing all Code Red sickness and disease. He died in Code Blue but rose from the dead victoriously on the third day. His victory is our victory! We can now boldly declare war on Code Red even as it has declared war on our hearts. Let the battle begin!

We all know people who seem to get stuck in unhealthy patterns of relating to others. Sometimes we’re puzzled by a loved one’s evasiveness or surprised by a friend’s defensive aggression.

Discover the tools to create a new kind of church and move from merely surviving to thriving. Drawing on an extensive two-year field study of 200 churches from a variety of denominations and geographic regions, Milfred Minatrea–a missiologist, urban strategist and practioner in minister–presents the best practices for re-energizing Christian spirituality in a congregational setting. He provides readers with the tools for assessing their congregation’s position on the continuum between maintenance and mission and for determining the actions that will move them toward becoming a missional community. He also outlines key strategies that successful churches have used to become relevant in a postmodern society without losing what is distinctly Christian in their spiritual practices.

Mary : The Imagination Of Her Heart
$14.95Add to cartChristians from liturgical traditions like Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy have long venerated Jesus’ mother Mary as a miraculous intercessor, icon of holy life and God’s closest human relative. Believers from Protestant denominations, on the other hand, have attempted to appreciate Mary within the boundaries of what is known about her from the New Testament, seeing her as worthy of respect but not devotion. In this study of Mary as prophet, matriarch, theologian, disciple, intercessor and paradigm, Duckworth, an Episcopal priest and poet, encourages readers to approach her from the classic Anglican perspective of the middle way, which “allows us to understand Mary as a model, a pattern, a paradigm and, as such, a soul friend as we proceed toward the perfection that is Christ.” It may be jarring for more conservative readers to discover that Duckworth views the Gospels not as historical documents, but as witnesses of faith anchored in the “truth” of myth and folklore. On the other hand, her evident affection for the subject and her even-handed approach to some of the more controversial aspects of Marian devotion will appeal to those seeking a well-rounded portrait of one of the major figures in Christian history and worship. Each meditation is enriched by personal anecdotes, Duckworth’s poetry and her multicultural perspective on art history, folklore and Marian tradition.

Behavioral Advantage : What The Smartest Most Successful Companies Do Diffe
$25.00Add to cartIn their book Winning Behavior, Terry Bacon and David Pugh showed how great companies outperform good ones through “behavioral differentiation” — going beyond superior products and dependable service to connect with customers at every touchpoint. The Behavioral Advantage broadens the concept, applying behavioral differentiation to the business-to-business arena. The best B2B companies depend on a multifront approach to business interaction, and The Behavioral Advantage reveals the secrets behind what is essentially a chess game with competitors. To win the game, companies must develop a carefully plotted opening game, with all internal values, policies, practices, and behaviors fully aligned. A smart and efficient middle game lets the company build and strengthen its position, and the endgame assures victory and lays the groundwork for future business. Just as individual customers do, B2B customers remember those companies whose behavior consistently and significantly outshines even strong competitors. These firms create a lasting advantage — and reap the profits that come with it.

Listen With Your Heart
$16.49Add to cartThis is not simply another book of poems. To tell the truth, the author never really liked poetry much. The poems are divided into groups such as grace, faith, and praise, enabling them to be used as devotionals. Through the words of the Psalms and the language of the Scriptures, certain truths are revealed in the words of the poems. They are truths that all readers can know if they are open to the message that lies within. Through praise and honor to God, the words reveal their meaning through simple phrases. The writings will help you understand that during your happiest or saddest moments, and everything in between, keep your eyes focused on the Lord. Though the answer may not be clear, the destination is still the same. These words were revealed to an ordinary person who opened her heart to what God had to say. Nothing is “different” or “special” about her; she just learned to listen.

Lords Life On Earth
$24.99Add to cartI have not revealed my name as the author of this book, because I’m only as a pencil in the hand of God. My wisdom and efforts wouldn’t have been correct. Many times I would have and did go with different events. God would wake me from a deep sleep and show me the right way, and I would have to go back and correct it. I am not an author or a writer, so there are probably mistakes in punctuation and spelling. To be truthful, I wouldn’t have taken on this task if God hadn’t kept dealing with me, for it has taken three years of my life. Not that it would have taken three years, but my abilities made it necessary. My qualification for doing this is studying God’s Word. I’ve also come from three generations of ministers, and my husband and son are ministers. This is God’s Word put in the correct order of events. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John have been combined at once, instead of comparing them. In this you can know the truth.

Jesus Heals The Brokenhearted
$24.99Add to cartThe author and her husband often visited their international relatives to share the good news of how the Lord Jesus Christ blessed their family in a special way. Then, like a lightning bolt, the news struck them of the tragic death of their son, David. He was in the prime of his life and the father of a young family. Why? Why would their loving God do this to them? The comforting answers came from the well-used Bible that David, “The Man with the Round Bible,” left behind: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV) In the writer’s family, David was the first in the race to reach the finish line. His joyful faith in God provides them with encouragement to follow on, looking forward to that Day, the day of the Lord’s appearing.

Mending Your Heart In A Broken World
$19.99Add to cartFor some, the world is a painful and fractured place-a place where their spirits have been tainted by tragedy, intimidation, and the loss of love or loved ones.

Through Nehemiah, the reader will learn how to guard her heart and how to open the doors when trust is required; how to live with a servant’s heart and how to overcome the fear of subjection; and when to work and when to pray.

God Knows Caregiving Can Pull You Apart
$14.95Add to cart12 Chapters
Additional Info
But How to Keep It All Together?A great and courageous question! That’s what this book is all about. It’s for those who have crossed the threshold of “if” in regards to caregiving, and moved on now to the “how” of it.
Each chapter that follows focuses on a different way to “keep it together” while giving care to a loved one.
Included in each chapter are brief explanations about how a particular way might look or work for you, short quotes for inspiration, stories about how others have gone about it, and a number of exercises that you can use to pause and reflect, regroup, and expand your caregiving repertoire.
Because journaling in particular can be such a useful exercise for caregivers, and because its tools (paper, writing utensil) are compact and simple enough to be brought into almost any setting, most chapters will include at least one journaling suggestion. Many caregivers have told me that journaling-writing in a completely non-judgmental way about their lives and having one certain safe place to express their experience in all its complexity-gives them valuable insights that might not be gained as easily in any other way. All exercises, however, including journaling ideas, are only suggestions.
This is a book that need not be rushed through. In fact, it will probably serve you better if you wander through it slowly and thoughtfully, perhaps even in a spirit of well-deserved leisure. It might sit on your bedside table, get tucked alongside a favorite armchair, or travel with you in a purse, briefcase, or satchel. Its quotations and stories are intentionally brief, that they might easily be remembered for inspiration or sustenance at just the right moment.

Foxes Book Of Martyrs (Revised)
$18.99Add to cartIn 1563, John Foxe began a memorial of martyrs starting with Stephen, the first to die for the cause of Christ, and ending with the most recent martyrs of his day; those killed during Bloody Mary’s reign. He knew that dangers lay in forgetting the martyrs–in being insensitive to their struggles. Martyrdom is not a thing of the past; every day the Christian church is persecuted in countries all over the world. More Christians were afflicted in the twentieth century then all the past centuries combined. If the Church is not reminded of the cost to follow Christ, she will die. Be vulnerable to the cries of the martyrs. Let their courage, their faith, their love–touch your life. This updated version includes reports on modern martyrs of the 20th and 21st century, a full color timeline of selected events and people for historical reference, and has been carefully edited into Modern American English for today’s reader.
