$14.99To be asleep is to be oblivious to being oblivious. The danger of sleep is the danger of carbon monoxide: its colorless and odorless, and youre anesthetized before you know it--before you ever hit the floor. And for the follower of Jesus, its just as dangerous--because the Christian who is "asleep" is spiritually unreceptive. If anything will be our undoing, sleep will.
In this thoughtful, engaging, challenging book, Rick James dives deep into the New Testaments teachings on spiritual wakefulness, calling Christ-followers to defy the darkness and remain awake as they await Christs return. Because being awake--continually in prayer, watchful for Gods will, expectant of open doors, cautious of sin, desiring to serve, eager to repent, continuously giving thanks, willing to witness, embracing of humility, overflowing with kindness, persevering in obedience--changes everything.

$14.99In Choose and Choose Again, the reader will encounter story after story of different people, most of whom are from Hope Community Church of Detroit, where Pastor Butcher has been sharing the healing love of God for thirteen years. They represent men and women, African American, Caucasian, Latino, and Asian, urban and suburban, professional types and prostitutes, clergy and addicts, drunks and lawyers and convicts--wounded human beings who have found themselves empty, dying, and longing to be filled.
The stories are not only about their own healing and restoration but also about how the love of God heals. Butcher hopes that readers will find before them a path of healing that they feel compelled to embrace. He begins with his own story of emptiness and despair, and his journey to healing, but the ultimate power of his message is that this healing journey is for anyone who is willing to own his or her emptiness and hold ones heart out to God, who is desperately longing to love each person all the way home.

$14.99How many times have you heard someone say, "I want to be close to God," or "I feel far from Jesus?" For many of us, we have been led to believe that our relationship with Jesus is based on proximity--a sliding scale of "near" or "far" based on the faithfulness of our spiritual devotion.
But what if being "close" to you isnt good enough for Jesus? What if he wants to be closer than close? Instead of simply having a "personal relationship" with you, what if Jesus longs to be "perfectly one" with you instead?
In this achingly bold and beautiful book, pastor, scholar, friend, and now author, Dave Hickman, invites you into his personal journey from striving to abiding, anxiety to peace, weariness to rest; from having a relationship with Jesus to awakening to the freedom of his union with Christ. Through careful attention to Scripture, personal stories, and everyday examples, join Dave as he guides you into the depths of the mystery of your personal and corporate union with Christ. In doing so, you, too, can awaken to the wonder and freedom that is already yours in Christ. Saber más -
$14.99If you had time to slow down, youd notice: Youre more easily distracted lately. You forget the details of your life more often than you used to. You get easily agitated and have trouble resting, even though youre more tired than you remember ever being. Even your spiritual life is not immune: You struggle to pray, to read the Scriptures, to be still and know that God is God.
Welcome to now. Our technology has greatly improved much of our lives, but in the process our brains are being rewired on a daily basis, and our capacity to be centered in our souls, in our lives, is at risk.
Brain scientists are aware of this unprecedented change, but the solutions arent found in science: Theyre found in the ancient practices of the faith. Tricia McCary Rhodes reintroduces us to the classic disciplines of Scripture reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation, not just as technologies to aid our faith but as tools to keep us focused and mindful in an increasingly disorienting digital age.

$16.99As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesnt change our hearts. Only by Gods grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the "transformation of the spirit"--a divine process that "brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God."
This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with.
Dont settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him. Saber más -
