Kings Daughter Workbook (Workbook)
$17.99Add to cartThis 13 week, interactive study looks at issues many women face today and reminds them of their inherent value as daughters of the one true King.
Mordecai’s challenge to Esther, “Were you not born for such a time as this?” is repeated for all women throughout the ages, says Diana Hagee. Every woman has a divine destiny. But women cannot fulfill that goal unless they understand His biblical guidelines.

Topics such as self-esteem, diligence, attitude, goal setting and stewardship encourage women to establish a strong foundation for growth while learning to see themselves in a new light.
Through scripture, thought-provoking questions and answers, prayers, practical advice and devotional ideas, women learn how valuable they are to God and how they can have an intimate relationship with Him while evaluating the standards that make them a daughter of the King.

Gospel According To The Apostles
$19.99Add to cartEver since the days of the apostles Paul and James, Christians have struggled to define the proper tension between faith and works. Salvation, Paul stresses is “not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). But James argues, “Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works” (2:18).
In his characteristic compelling style Dr. MacArthur reconciles these two seemingly divergent threads of biblical truth, taking on the difficult questions head on:
What is cheap grace?
Have some Christians adopted a “no-lordship” theology?
What must a person do to be considered righteous by God?
Do our works have any affect on our salvation?Jesus asked his followers, “Why do you call me Lord and not do the things that I tell you to?” When John MacArthur dared in his earlier book to ask us this question, critics accused him of shelving grace. Others read the same book and heard in it the identical message preached since the founding of the Church.
“The Gospel According to the Apostles is the same gospel Jesus preached,” Dr. MacArthur says, “but it differs dramatically from the diluted message popular today. I pray you’ll find this book an encouragement as you seek to put your own faith to work.”

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.

What Jesus Did
$20.95Add to cartThe acronym WWJD (What would Jesus do?) has become a popular device for making ethical and moral decisions, and evaluating how we should act in a wide range of situations. But this seemingly ubiquitous slogan has also been used to trivialize Jesus and use his name to endorse some activity or product. Now we also hear questions like: What would Jesus eat? What would Jesus wear? What would Jesus drive? Enough already!
If you want to consider this question seriously, then the best way to find the answer to WWJD is to investigate what Jesus actually did while he was here on earth. Jesus Christ was a real man who lived in a real time and a real place — and his words and deeds are recorded in the four Gospels. Once we carefully study the Gospels and become familiar with what Jesus did, then we will be in a better position to discern what Jesus would do now.
What Jesus Did is an in-depth look at the life of Jesus, including his birth, his parables, his miracles, his sayings, his death, and his resurrection. The unique format of this study guide makes it an excellent resource for a preaching series, Sunday School lessons, group Bible study, or personal devotional reading. Each chapter is built around a series of questions to help you gain deeper meaning and insight from the scriptures. And because Jesus expects us to turn learning into doing and live according to his example, each chapter also includes a WWJD action step for applying his teachings in our daily lives.

“But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)Readers of Second Corinthians are likely to agree that Peter was right about Paul’s letters: “There are some things in them [that are] hard to understand” (2 Peter 3:16). This accessible Bible Study will help to explain some of those hard things, especially by focusing on what is delightful and inspiring about the biblical book. In 2 Corinthians we find promises of a glorious life after death, interesting and thought-provoking figures of speech describing followers of Christ, powerful stewardship messages, an amazing example of humility and proper respect, and much more.

Being Gods Man In The Search For Success (Student/Study Guide)
$11.99Add to cartI’ve worked hard to get where I am. I’ve overcome great obstacles. I’ve earned it. No one had a greater right to say those statements more than King David. He rose from the fields of Palestine to the palace of power and privilege. He’d made it. But now that he was on top, would he continue to grow spiritually in the midst of his success?
Self-sufficiency is a temptation every man faces. But we can’t be both self-sufficient and on the move spiritually at the same time. Just as in David’s life, God often allows us to experience the consequences of self-sufficiency so that we can rediscover our need for his leadership and empowerment in our lives. In the end, the crushing blows we face serve to humble us and forge the basis for the next wave of spiritual momentum in our lives.

Wonder Of Wonders (Student/Study Guide)
$20.49Add to cartI was overawed when Norma’s manuscript reached me this spring. Can you imagine using close to 50,000 words to describe the grace of God? Norma’s book is only the tip of the iceberg. Paul’s words in Romans 11:33 (J.B. Phillips) says, “I stand amazed at the fathomless wealth of God’s wisdom and God’s knowledge. How could any man ever understand His reasons for action, or explain His methods of working?” Norma has listed 192 definitions and examples of the Bible word “grace.” I was fascinated when Norma explained that grace is not exclusively a New Testament word. So many scholars have stated that the subject of the N.T. is “grace” while that of the O.T. is “the Law.” In the introduction Norma explains why she divided the O.T. references from the N.T. This book is encyclopedic or comprehensive in scope. It will be a welcome addition to the library of any person who is serious about studying the Word of God. It will go along side of other reference books such as translations, Bible dictionaries, commentaries, and lexicons. The other day a young Christian, looking at the age-lines in my face, asked, “As you grow older, what surprises you most about following Jesus?” My immediate answer was His Grace. Now, Norma Svenhard has written Wonder of Wonders, a definitive Bible study-outline on this very subject. Tracing God’s Grace through both Old and New Testaments, Norma’s guide is an invaluable tool for all of us seeking a deeper understanding of God’s unmerited kindness, which we call Grace. -John Sherrill, Roving Editor, Guideposts Magazine
