Feelings And Faith
$19.99

Weaves together biblical exposition and practical application to demonstrate how emotions relate to the Christian life. Emotions are a vital part of what it means to be a human being made in the image of God and redeemed in Jesus Christ. But often our emotions confuse and mislead us. So what is the proper place for emotions in a Christian’s walk of faith? In Feelings and Faith Brian Borgman draws from his extensive biblical knowledge and his pastoral experience to help readers understand both divine and human emotions. After laying a biblical foundation he moves on to practical application, focusing on how Christians can put to death ungodly emotional displays and also cultivate godly emotions. This biblically informed, practical volume is helpful for pastors, counselors, and serious-minded Christians who wish to develop a full-orbed faith that encompasses their emotional life.

Fears Flights And Kangaroo Fights
$14.99

From best-selling author Bill Myers comes a hilarious, faith-filled, and action-packed adventure starring the Mulligan family.

The Mulligans are off to the jungles of South America to help Mom save some snakes in need of a new home. Jessica, terrified of snakes, is not thrilled to be on this particular mission of mercy, but she soon discovers an effective way to get over her fears: find something even scarier. Like crash-landing in the jungle and having to spend the night with LOTS of creepy crawly sounds all around.

Meanwhile, Nick and Lisa are on their own mission to transport Bob, a big kangaroo, back to the animal park. But they encounter a group of bad guys who have their own plans for the kangaroo: putting him in a boxing ring and charging admission to watch Bob fight some unlucky human.

Back home, Dad, Janelle, Stephanie, and Julie are facing their own challenges: taking care of Mulligan’s animal park while fearing what is happening to the rest of the family, away from home and facing danger. And as Dad tells Julie, we can’t get rid of fear by ignoring it, but you can focus on something better, like God’s love and His promises.

The Magnificent Mulligans can’t help but find adventure, and it’s usually their love of helping animals that leads them there.

Habits Of Grace
$21.99

The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows-making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity-and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Revelation And Reason In Christian Theology
$23.99

Do revelation and reason contradict?

Throughout the church’s history Christians have been tempted to make revelation and reason mutually exclusive. But both are essential to a true understanding of the faith.

The inaugural Theology Connect conference–held in Sydney in July 2016–was dedicated to surveying the intersection of revelation and reason. In Revelation and Reason in Christian Theology Christopher C. Green and David I. Starling draw together the fruit of this conference to provoke sustained, deep reflection on this relationship. The essays–filtered through epistemological, biblical, historical, and dogmatic lenses–critically and constructively contribute to this important and developing aspect of theology.

Each essayist approaches revelation and reason according to the psalmist’s words: “In your light we see light” (Ps 36:9). The light of faith does not obscure truth; rather, it enables us to see truth.

Wilderness Time : A Guide For Spiritual Retreat
$14.99

Time in “the wilderness” — solitary meditation on simplicity, prayer, and other key disciplines of faith — is directly in keeping with Jesus’ example of going apart to pray. Now, with the clarity and encouragement that distinguish the Renovare collection of spiritual resources, this gentle guide to retreat unshrouds that historical tradition — and so reveals marvelous opportunities for spiritual renewal in contemporary Christian practice.

Helping us to create self-guided retreats — for individuals or groups — Emilie Griffin offers plans, encouragements, and suggestions based on her own experience and fortified by the inspiring words of contemporary Christian writers such as Eugene Peterson, Luci Shaw, and Virginia Stem Owens.

A virtual primer for retreat, this volume defines the basics and provides practical tips on setting realistic expectations and on achieving the relaxation and freedom necessary for the soul to become, in the words of de Caussade, “light as a feather.” A detailed one-day retreat makes an ideal model for first-timers, and several different examples illustrate how time in the wilderness can be both accessible and wonderfully illuminating — no matter what your schedule. Wilderness Time is another balanced, practical strategy from Renovare helping us grow closer to God.

Invited To Know God
$12.99

“Goodness like a fetter.”

The hymn “Come Thou Fount” reminds us that God’s laws were created to draw us closer to him. But reading the law is intimidating. Deuteronomy is a long and ancient book full of speeches and laws for a wandering people on the cusp of entering a land filled with hostile nations. What could Deuteronomy have to say for modern readers who face vastly different issues?

Invited to Know God shows that Deuteronomy is simply about knowing God. The book is a divine portal, drawing people into the ancient presence of God. To understand God better, we need to understand Deuteronomy better. Rather than being a dusty book of ancient laws, Deuteronomy calls those who love God to know Him better, choose the path to life, and flourish under His loving wisdom and guidance.

God’s laws bind our wandering hearts to him.

Logic Of The Body
$29.99

Do not be anxious about anything. When it comes to stress and worry, that’s all we really need to say, right? Just repent of your anxiety, and everything will be fine.But emotional life is more complex than this. In The Logic of the Body, Matthew LaPine argues that Protestants must retrieve theological psychology in order to properly understand the emotional life of the human person. With classical and modern resources in tow, LaPine argues that one must not choose between viewing emotions exclusively as either cognitive and volitional on the one hand, or simply a feeling of bodily change on the other. The two “stories” can be reconciled through a robustly theological analysis. In a culture filled with worry and anxiety, The Logic of the Body offers a fresh path within the Reformed tradition.

Healing The Schism
$34.99

The past and future of Jewish-Christian dialogue

The history of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity is storied and tragic. However, recent decades show promise as both parties reflect upon their self–definitions and mutual contingency, and consider possible ways forward.

In Healing the Schism, Jennifer M. Rosner maps the new Jewish–Christian encounter from its origins in the early twentieth–century pioneers to its current representatives. Rosner first traces the thought of Karl Barth and Franz Rosenzweig and brings them into conversation. Rosner then outlines the reassessments and developments of post–Holocaust theological architects that moved the dialogue forward and set the stage for today. She considers the recent work of Messianic Jewish theologian Mark Kinzer before considering future possibilities.

With clarity and rigor, Rosner offers a robust perspective of Judaism and Christianity that is post–supersessionist and theologically orthodox. Healing the Schism is essential reading for understanding the perils and promise of Messianic Jewish identity and Jewish–Christian theological conversation.

After The Revolution
$24.99

Equipping the church to recover from sexual confusion

In After the Revolution, David J. Ayers provides the Christian heirs of the sexual revolution a resource to understand their challenges and social context to find a way forward. Drawing on social sciences and history, Ayers traces recent worldview shifts in North America and Europe. The historic Christian understanding of sex and marriage has been supplanted. And sexual confusion has infiltrated the church, especially influencing younger Christians.

The church can uniquely and compassionately support sexual faithfulness and flourishing, but we need to reject formulas, surefire methods, and judgmentalism. Instead, we must recover a positive vision for Christian sexuality, singleness, and marriage that is firmly grounded in God’s word.

Passionate Pursuit : A Story Of God’s Faithfulness
$15.99

Since I was going to be a preacher, I needed to practice. Only being about eight or nine years old, who was going to listen to me? Not to worry.

In the pasture near the barn was an empty hay rack. Perfect! With Bible in hand, I climbed up on the rack. Cows were moving around the barnyard. It was near milking time. The crowds were filling the auditorium. With much shoving and mooing, they prepared to hear the gospel.

As I started to preach, everyone in the congregation looked on with fascination. Big, brown eyes stared in amazement. I shouted my text, telling the cows to repent or perish. After a few minutes of loud and lively preaching, I watched several of them slowly walk away. Not one convert!

The passionate pursuit had begun.

1 Year Praying In Faith Devotional
$17.99

The faith journey can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be.

Abraham, Joseph, David, Paul, and even Jesus himself–all heroes of the faith who experienced both the soaring grace of answered prayers and crushing sorrow when God seemed unwilling to respond or too far away to hear. And yet, even in the darkest times, God was working, writing an unseen story of redemption that would save the world.

When we pray, how do we see beyond the immediate and into the eternal? How do we know when to keep praying and when to give up; when to consider something a promise from God and when to recognize that it was from our own imagination? Why does silence from God rarely mean no and almost always mean come closer?

The One Year Praying in Faith Devotional answers these questions and many more, taking you through a 365-day journey that will help you experience a prayerful relationship with God like never before.

5. Cultivating Curiosity

Additional Info
So many Christians feel nervous, guilty or awkward when they think about sharing their faith with friends and family.

It doesn’t have to be this way. You-whoever you are-can be empowered for evangelism that is faithful, compelling and relational. Empowered will leave ordinary Christians not only wanting to share their faith, but knowing how to talk about Jesus in their normal lives and everyday conversations.

Becky Pippert and her husband Dick have spent the past 13 years doing evangelism training in churches and at conferences on almost every continent. Empowered is the fruit of all these years of working right around the world, of motivating and equipping ordinary Christians to share their faith with those around them. Easy to run and combining Bible-study, talks and discussions, this course is flexible enough to be over seven weeks or on a day or weekend away.

In the introduction Becky writes:
“Never has there been a greater need to share Christ with the world (starting with our own neighbors)-yet never have believers seemed more ill equipped. It is imperative that we know how to effectively communicate the gospel. We need to get beyond one-size-fits-all techniques. We need to learn to communicate the truth in a way that is also loving. Yet we need to remember, even as we seek to show Christ’s compassionate love, still to share Christ’s gospel truth.”

Each session of Empowered opens with a short introduction from Becky before moving to an interactive group Bible study grounded in God’s word. This is followed by a short talk by Becky on the DVD. Becky’s warm, personable style blends timeless biblical truth with tried and tested techniques-as well as plenty of funny and encouraging real life stories. After the talk there’s time to work through the practical implications in discussion groups, before turning to prayer.

Astronauts Wife
$26.99

A true story about making the most of your one incredible life.

On July 20, 2019, Stacey Morgan kissed her husband goodbye before he donned his space suit and headed to his waiting Soyuz rocket. With an overwhelming mix of pride, excitement, and terror, she and her children held hands and watched the rocket ignite and lift off for a nine-month mission aboard the International Space Station . . .

This is the story of the astronaut’s wife. And it’s full of unexpected twists she never saw coming. Because while the love of her life orbited Earth, Stacey was about to embark on a knock-your-socks-off adventure right here at home. Being an astronaut’s wife was different than Stacey expected. The risks were greater, the loneliness was deeper, and the stress was more intense. It was an incredibly challenging yet deeply meaningful season–one in which she learned rich lessons about:

*preparing for any mission or adventure life throws at you
*rediscovering your fun side when you’ve been trapped in survival mode too long
*trusting God’s strength when you feel like you’re hitting the wall
*choosing the path of hope in the face of fear and uncertainty

Containing behind-the-scenes glimpses into a side of space flight that most of us will never experience, The Astronaut’s Wife is a funny, poignant, and meaningful exploration of living life to the fullest–no matter where you roam.

When we watch the news, our hearts break for a world in need. But Christians are not powerless to help: we can pray. In fact, that’s exactly what God tells us to do: “petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving [should] be made for all people” (1 Timothy 2 v 1-2). If we’re serious about reaching our local community with the gospel, the first thing we’ll do is pray.

Trouble is, most of us don’t know where to start. How do we pray meaningfully for people who we don’t know and will probably never meet? Deep down, the issues seem too big, too emotionally disconnected, and we’re not sure our prayers will really make a difference.

That’s where this little book is designed to help. It will equip you to pray powerful prayers for the world around you-prayers that really change things, because they’re based on God’s word.

Each spread takes a passage of Scripture and suggests 5 things to pray for a local, national, or international issue. Because when we pray in line with God’s priorities as found in his word, our prayers are powerful and effective (James 5 v 16)-and that’s a truly thrilling prospect.

Use this book to:
* Guide your prayers during your personal quiet times
* Equip church members to pray meaningfully for your local community and nation
* Help you prepare expressive public intercessions for church
* Fuel your church prayer meeting
* Help you know how to pray in the wake of major world events

Use this book in any number of ways: work through it as part of your daily quiet time, or pick it up whenever a situation arises that is in particular need of prayer.

When you grasp God’s Word holistically, your life begins to make more sense each and every day. In this book, Sam Rainer will help you:

*Understand God’s big picture as revealed in the Bible
*Explore the major themes of Scripture

Book Your Pastor Wishes You Would Read
$9.99

What do you think about your pastor? Do you chew over his sermons and wonder if they are clear and helpful? Do you feel he spends enough time with you? In fact, do you ever catch yourself wondering what he does all day?
The truth is, often we think, “What can my pastor do for me?” Far less often do we think, “What can I do for my pastor?”

Former seasoned pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do ?”???” how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on ?”???” but what about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us.

Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.

Jesus And The Lions Den

The story of Daniel and the Lions’ Den teaches children many things… It teaches them about praying; it teaches them about Daniel’s faithfulness to God, and God’s faithfulness to Daniel; and it teaches them that God is the real king of everyone everywhere.

But if you peel back another layer, you’ll see that like the rest of the Old Testament, it also points to Jesus.

This stunningly-illustrated retelling of Daniel and the lions’ den helps children to see Jesus in the story of Daniel. It challenges children to spot the ‘Jesus moments’ by looking out for the hidden lion symbols. It goes on to explain the parallels between Jesus and Daniel, so that children can see the gospel heart of the whole Bible.

A great gift for children aged 3-6.

As Sure As The Sea
$17.99

Once she denied everything she believed in. Now she’d give anything to choose differently. But in the shadow of the Roman Empire’s persecution and the shame of her past, she fears that what she wants most will be forever out of reach.

Eastern Roman Empire, AD 310. In the shadow of Emperor Diocletian’s anti-Christian edicts, Demitria makes a meager living harvesting coral and pearls for a merchant who turns a blind eye to her faith. By night, Demi goes upriver with her brother, Theseus, to obtain provisions for fellow believers in the port city of Myra. While willing to risk her own life to ensure others are safe and fed, Demi lives with a desperate fear for those she loves and carries secret shame over her greatest failure. When Theseus is injured in a diving accident, all seems lost, until a stranger named Nikolas appears on the beach and offers help.

Arriving in a sinking boat, Nikolas is burdened by guilt over his older brother’s tragic death. Though the wealth he inherited from a prosperous shipping business now rests at the bottom of the sea, as the new pastor in Myra, he is determined to recover it and use it for good. As the violence against Christians increases, Demi helps Nikolas retrieve his lost fortune and distribute it to those in dire need.

Despite wondering if she can ever be worthy, Demi is drawn to Nikolas and longs to trust in his belief that freedom can be found in forgiveness. Then one terrifying night, everything changes as the Roman Empire’s fury rains down. Demi has no other choice but to decide if she has the courage to do what she once failed to . . . and if the faith she calls her own is sure enough to carry her.

Searching For Christmas
$5.99

Discover the awesome God at the heart of the familiar Christmas story and discover the joy, hope, purpose, and belonging we’re all searching for.

Most of us are familiar with the events of the first Christmas-the manger scene, shepherds watching sheep, angels singing their songs, and wise men arriving-but what if there’s more to the story? What if the birth of Jesus is actually the most significant event in all of history and can transform our lives?

This evangelistic book goes beyond the birth of Jesus to look at what he did when he grew up and how he fulfilled the names given to him centuries beforehand by the prophet Isaiah.

Readers will see that Jesus is the Wonderful Counsellor, who can guide them in all truth; the Mighty God, who made and owns everything; the Eternal Father, who they can trust to love them for ever; and the Prince of Peace, who died in their place so that they can be forgiven and accepted eternally.

Walking into church can be intimidating, whether for the first time or after a period of absence, whether you are a non-believer or a believer.
