Amons Secret : A Family Story Of The First Christians
$18.99
Best-selling author of family-tailored Lent and Advent books is back with a new adventure
Adding to his widely popular Advent and Lent series, well-known author Arnold Ytreeide revisits the Jerusalem of Jesus in this captivating follow-up to Amon’s Adventure. This time, Ytreeide takes families into the life of one of the founders of the church.
Thirteen-year-old Amon has just watched Jesus ascend into heaven. What will Christ’s followers do now? In the midst of Amon’s confusion, the apostle Peter hands him an assignment: invent a way for the new Christian church to communicate and meet in secret. It must not be noticed by the penetrating eyes of Jesus’ enemies who are still looking for anyone who dared call him the Messiah.
Amon’s task quickly turns dangerous. The Sanhedrin, led by Saul, begins hunting down believers in The Way, even stoning some to death. Now Amon must walk a treacherous line between finishing the job he was given and working safely around those who would kill him if they knew his secret. Can he dodge cranky Romans and angry Pharisees and find a way for the new church to survive?
With short, action-filled chapters, reflections for family devotions, and a foundation of archaeological evidence, Amon’s Secret is a fun and powerful way to connect to the church’s beginnings.

Crazy Faith : It’s Only Crazy Until It Happens
$26.00From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith?
Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms.There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith–one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises.
In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to:
– believe for the impossible
– choose hope over fear
– be alert to the voice of God
– cope with loss and doubt
– develop a deeper level of trust in God
– speak faith-filled declarations
– inspire crazy faith in othersGod’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?
