How the Irish Saved Civilization $3.95 The perfect St. Patrick’s Day gift, and a book in the best tradition of popular history — the untold story of Ireland’s role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" — and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization — copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost — they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman’s "A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization" reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization. |

Getting Saved in America $46.95 What does becoming American have to do with becoming religious? Many immigrants become more religious after coming to the United States. Taiwanese are no different. Like many Asian immigrants to the United States, Taiwanese frequently convert to Christianity after immigrating. But Americanization is more than simply a process of Christianization. Most Taiwanese American Buddhists also say they converted only after arriving in the United States even though Buddhism is a part of Taiwan’s dominant religion. By examining the experiences of Christian and Buddhist Taiwanese Americans, Getting Saved in America tells “a story of how people become religious by becoming American, and how people become American by becoming religious.” Carolyn Chen argues that many Taiwanese immigrants deal with the challenges of becoming American by becoming religious. Based on in-depth interviews with Taiwanese American Christians and Buddhists, and extensive ethnographic fieldwork at a Taiwanese Buddhist temple and a Taiwanese Christian church in Southern California, Getting Saved in America is the first book to compare how two religions influence the experiences of one immigrant group. By showing how religion transforms many immigrants into Americans, it sheds new light on the question of how immigrants become American. |

What Is Christian Truth for You? $13.49 About the Book The author draws from personal life experiences to show how Jesus Christ draws all people into seeking Him. Each time Jesus is successful in getting your attention onto Him and off yourself, He uses the opportunity to plant a seed in your mind to find Him. How many of your seeds have sprouted? You find Jesus by asking questions like, ‘Is God real?’ and, ‘What does God want from me?’ When your curiosity is aroused, you will try to gain the wisdom needed to answer those questions. Where will YOU seek YOUR truth? When you find ‘Christian Truth’, then you find Jesus and His plan. Upon finding Jesus, you can be ‘saved’ and receive your free ‘gift of heaven’. So, ask yourself two questions: 1. What is Christian Truth for you? 2. Will you live that truth when you find it? About the Author This book is another Christian seed to help you find answers. Jim is a native of Ithaca, NY. He is the second oldest in a family of nine children. The family was raised Catholic. So, Jim attended a Catholic grammar school and was an altar boy in his parish. Jim’s first real interest in Jesus Christ specifically, came with his ownership of a ‘Sacred Heart’ statue. After graduating college in NY, Jim moved to Connecticut. There he married and raised his family under the umbrella of Catholic procedures for 30 years. Then, near age 50, Jesus connected personally with Jim. Suddenly Jesus became real and was not a statue anymore. Jesus infiltrated Jim’s mind and began a ten year teaching process which led Jim to: know Jesus, become personally saved, and become cognizant of what Jesus wants of His followers. Jim has been newly encouraged, by the Holy Spirit, to share this process of discovering Christand Christian Truth with others. |

A Theology of Christian Counseling: More Than Redemption $17.62 A Theology of Christian Counseling connects biblical doctrine with practical living. Salvation, that central concern of Protestant theology, is often too narrowly defined. It is thought of as "being saved from the consequences of sin." But God is doing much more. He is making something new out of the old sinful nature. He is, in Christ, making new creatures."No counseling system that is based on some other foundation can begin to offer what Christian counseling offers. . . . No matter what the problem is, no matter how greatly sin has abounded, the Christian counselor’s stance is struck by the far-more-abounding nature of the grace of Jesus Christ in redemption. What a difference this makes in counseling "In this book the reader will gain an insight into the rich theological framework that supports and directs a biblical approach to counseling. And the connection between solid theology and practical application will become compelling. This book is one-of-a-kind. |

What Did Jesus Really Say-How Christianity Went Astray: [What to Say to a Born Again Christian Fundamentalist, But Never Had the I $15.46 No dogma please. And hold the mustard. For something to be called "Christ"ianity, it should be based on the teachings of Jesus "Christ," Jesus never said he needed to die for our sins so we could be "saved." Only Paul and John make this claim. Christianity has therefore become a form of Paulism and Johnism that emphasize the Savior aspect of Jesus. But Paul had never met or heard Jesus teach, and John tells a story that’s so different from the other disciples that we must seriously question him as a source. Did you also know there are two different biblical stories about how Judas dies? And Mary Magdalene wasn’t a prostitute until the Pope made her one in the sixth century. Pope Urban II even made killing non-Christians acceptable in the eleventh century. Born Again Christian, President George W. Bush, also believes in the "Rapture" and the "End of Times." See why this should be alarming. Other subjects include ancient Buddhist records about Jesus traveling to India and studying Buddhism. Jesus may even have studied and practiced Kabbalah. Subsequently, "What Did Jesus Really Say" is an easy to read introduction that also reflects on God, Karma, Buddhism, Kabbalah, Reincarnation, Politics, and even Astrophysics. |

If Men Are Like Buses, Then How Do I Catch One? $3.46 Readers have asked for more from Chicago talk show cohost Michelle McKinney Hammond–especially women from her huge following of Christian singles. "If Men Are Like Buses" will pick them up where two previous bestsellers left off, with counsel that is both enjoyable and instructional. "The mood of the book is conversational, scriptural, with a touch of humor," Michelle says. "It’s the kind of book I wanted but couldn’t find, so I had to write it " Singles have been waiting too long to be caught up by human love. When they halt their pursuit and let God’s love catch their hearts, they’ll be on board for the greatest discovery of all–His true purpose for them. Is Your Love Life Stuck in Traffic? Most single women have heard the old adage "Men are like buses. If you miss one, there’s always another one coming." But satisfied single and relationship expert Michelle McKinney Hammond asks, How do you recognize the right bus? And if you didn’t learn anything when the first bus passed you by, how can you be sure you’ll catch the next one? The key isn’t simply flagging down the right bus–it’s being the right kind of passenger. Mingling lively humor with scriptural principles, Hammond uses God’s blueprint to show how you, too, can move beyond being just "interested" to being "interesting." By developing a victorious, purposeful, and outrageously fulfilling life, you’ll naturally be on your way to your desired destination *** "Hop on the bus for a joyride. If only this book had been available when we were single, we would have saved ourselves a lot of fretting." Susan Wales, author of "A Match Made in Heaven, "books" "I and II "Michelle teaches singles how to find fulfillment and love during their season of singleness." Dr. Don Raunikar, psychologist, speaker, and author of "Choosing God’s Best" Story Behind the Book Singles often put the cart before the horse and lose perspective on what is truly important in life. From one single to another, I’ve made it my mission to realign the thoughts of singles back to the basics of living victoriously by prioritizing their lives according to God’s design. As singles become purposeful individuals, they will find themselves in the right position for meeting the right partner. Purposeful singles are happy, fulfilled people who are whole and ready for the awesome task of becoming one with another. Furthermore, they are more discerning and able to make the right choice–or actually, take right bus |

The Nazi Officer’s Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust $4.95 Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a labor camp. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite Edith’s protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret. In wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyzing fear. She tells of German officials who casually questioned the lineage of her parents; of how, when giving birth to her daughter, she refused all painkillers, afraid that in an altered state of mind she might reveal something of her past; and of how, after her husband was captured by the Soviet army, she was bombed out of her house and had to hide while drunken Russian soldiers raped women on the street. Yet despite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival. She saved every document and set of papers issued to her, as well as photographs she managed to take inside labor camps. Now part of the permanent collection at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., these hundreds of documents, several of which are included in this volume, form the fabric of a gripping new chapter in the history of the Holocaust — complex, troubling, and ultimately triumphant. |

Sin: A Guide for the Perplexed $28.94 Christianity concerns itself with salvation. But salvation implies something from which one must be saved, as reconciliation implies an estrangement and redemption a loss. The classical theological symbol naming the problem to which salvation is the solution is sin. Interpreting the meaning of sin, however, has become difficult for two reasons: sin has become a taboo subject in popular discourse, and has acquired an extremely broad meaning in recent theology. Sin: A Guide for the Perplexed is intended as a mid-level, comprehensive introduction to the notion of sin and its significance for Christian theology. Nelson situates and interprets biblical material on sin, and then offers a lucid history of the doctrine. He elucidates Augustine’s conception of original sin and defends it against its many caricatures. Special attention is paid to sin as an ordinary, yet highly interruptive, phenomenon in the lives of individuals. This is supplemented by a careful look at the non-individualistic dimensions of sin, and an appreciation of how sin relates to other key theological commitments. |

They have perverted God’s undeserved gift of forgiveness, making it a license for immorality, self-indulgence, and minimal involvement in God’s kingdom. In the process they are robbing themselves of the joy that comes from obedience to God. In his provocative new book, pastor and author Dr. Robert Jeffress challenges you to gain a biblical understanding of grace, and reveals how "good grace" can protect your marriage, church, and relationships from confusion and even abuse. Start experiencing the true freedom of living obediently in God’s good grace. Discover "Grace Gone Wild " |

Pathway to Freedom $16.53 The first Gentile who accepted Jesus in Antioch of Syria became a problem for the young church. The mother church in Jerusalem was not equipped to handle a non-Jew, either doctrinally or emotionally, yet everything was changing Barnabas had no trouble adjusting to the new circumstances, but the leaders in Jerusalem could never fully accept the differences of the New Covenant. Gentiles were forced to face the question, "Must I become a Jew in order to be saved?" This became a controversy which troubled Paul’s entire ministry. The advocates who stirred it up were called "Some men who came from James." We will see how Paul responded to the question, "How Jewish must the Church be?" Peter, Barnabas, James (the brother of Jesus), and Paul will be seen like never before. T. DEERING MANNING was ordained to the ministry in 1951. He holds the Bachelor’s degree from Atlanta Christian College; and Master’s degree from ZOE University. He also has received honorary doctorates in Christian Education, Literature, and Philosophy in Theology. He has served churches in Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.

Holiness the Key to Revival $15.73 Holiness – the Key to RevivalThis book is to bring hope, encouragement and fresh vision to the Church.It is for Christians who are: Frustrated – but believing. ‘Saved – but stuck’ (‘stuck’ in ‘the wilderness’). Forgiven – but not in victory. Disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, doubting damaged, defeated and/or desperate. Hungry for more of God.For sincere Christians, holiness is usually an aspiration which is only vaguely dreamt about, but with no real concrete, proven direction to follow. Many of God’s people recognize that holiness is a commandment of God……but – how do we become holy and walk in holiness and, is it possible?This book has the answer – based on the Word of God and testimonies of past saints who did walk in holiness and, through whose lives God was able to move, often bringing revival and thousands of souls to the Lord.Lack of teaching on this vital doctrine of Experiential Sanctification is a major reason why the Church is not walking in holiness and victory. The lateness of the hour and days in which we live surely spur us on to seek our God with all our hearts, and cry, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God’. ‘Holiness – the Key to Revival’ will enlighten and excite the believer to experience a more effective personal Christian Life.Patricia Knowles has always yearned for a God-sent Revival. David, her husband, has a wonderful ‘library’ of ‘old-timers’ testimonies of personal and national revivals, and has made excellent research into this subject.Patricia has been active in many aspects of church life including leadership roles. They have two married children and four grandchildren. |

Doors & Chambers $18.98 According to the Scripture, Romans 8:28 says- "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." The question is, how do all these things work out to our benefit? God is a God that declares ‘The End’ from ‘The Beginning’. However we must understand that He is also a God of process.Doors and Chambers is a simple metaphor for understanding how God systematically moves His people through His paths of righteousness. Sometimes in life, it can become easy to lose sight that God’s hand is upon us for our good and not evil. His Holy Spirit leads and guides us through the good times and the bad. Whether you a new Christian or have been saved many years, Doors and Chambers will help you gain insight into God’s methods of bringing His saints to maturity. It is much easier to play the game when we know the rules. It is much easier to navigate through life when we understand God’s process to take us from glory to glory. Learning to pursue His Will causes His blessings and supernatural enablement to be released."For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." – Romans 8:14 Ric Steele is the senior pastor and founder of Due Season Christian Church International along with his wife, Kathy, located in Novi, MI. Dr. Steele oversees a network of ministries. Dr. Ric & Kathy Steele have ministered both locally and internationally. Dr. Ric & Kathy are also the founders of RISEN , an apostolic and prophetic training camp, held nationally. He has also authored a series on prophetic training and discernment.

Faith on a Sticky Note $13.23 Do you ever doubt your faith in God, because you never had that one defining "salvation moment" that other Christians talk about-you know, the one where you drop to your knees, plead to be saved, then receive a feeling, vision, or some other heavenly sign of confirmation? This is exactly how author Mark McKinney felt, until he faced the daunting task of going public with his Christian testimony. Enter: the sticky note. Over the last several decades, the sticky note has become a hallmark of modern life. Reminders, schedules, even love notes have been relegated to these small paper squares, which we tack onto the computer monitor, the refrigerator, or the dashboard. Little do we know that in posting them, we leave veritable paper trails-mini-documentaries of what we do, what is important to us, and what defines us as people. In Faith on a Sticky Note, McKinney uses this idea to relay how he discovered his faith, tracking down the "spiritual sticky notes" of his life, then piecing them together like a puzzle. "I never had my moment . . ." he writes. "I had many moments." Through heartwarming, personal accounts of his father’s alcoholism and eventual death, McKinney reminds us that faith, like life, is not made in a single defining moment, but rather in everyday situations attuned to God’s perfect timing. |

Becoming A Mature Christian $5.96 The religion that Christ brought to us is not an empty form or a mindless ritual. It was never designed to be practiced just on Sunday. Rather, He calls us to maturity, to becoming fully grown Christians. He challenges us to enter through the narrow gate and walk the difficult path. His religion is challenging, it is transforming, and it is costly.This book explores some of the fundamental principles that Christ laid down for His disciples. These include the Christian life as Christ defined it, the significance of His Christian community, and the worship He expects of His disciples.In addition, this book explores the leadership that Christ ordained for His Christian community. Christ clearly defines the leaders of His community, and He calls this community His “church.” He calls those leaders to model themselves after Him, and has explicit expectations regarding them.Lastly, Christ had much to say about how we should manage our money. From these, Christians can learn fundamental financial management principles that are pleasing to God and very beneficial to us.Chapter 1: Christ’s mandate that we become mature Christians.Chapter 2: Christian living as defined by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount.Chapter 3: How we are saved and become a member of Christ’s church. Virtues to possess and vices to avoid. The greatest virtue is love for both God and mankind.Chapter 4: Worship in Christ’s church. We must approach God in reverence and awe. Worship must characterize the whole of our lives. Acceptable and unacceptable worship. The New Testament pattern for worship.Chapter 5: Servant leadership as described by Christ and His apostles.Chapter 6: Church leadership as described by Christ and His apostles.Chapter 7: Biblical principles for money management.Chapter 8: Epilogue |

Little do we know that in posting them, we leave veritable paper trails-mini-documentaries of what we do, what is important to us, and what defines us as people.In Faith on a Sticky Note, McKinney uses this idea to relay how he discovered his faith, tracking down the “spiritual sticky notes” of his life, then piecing them together like a puzzle. “I never had my moment . . .” he writes. “I had many moments.”Through heartwarming, personal accounts of his father’s alcoholism and eventual death, McKinney reminds us that faith, like life, is not made in a single defining moment, but rather in everyday situations attuned to God’s perfect timing. |

Holiness The Key To Revival $14.99 Holiness – the Key to Revival This book is to bring hope, encouragement and fresh vision to the Church.It is for Christians who are:• Frustrated – but believing.• ‘Saved – but stuck’ (‘stuck’ in ‘the wilderness’).• Forgiven – but not in victory.• Disappointed, discouraged, disillusioned, doubting damaged, defeated and/or desperate.• Hungry for more of God.For sincere Christians, holiness is usually an aspiration which is only vaguely dreamt about, but with no real concrete, proven direction to follow. Many of God’s people recognize that holiness is a commandment of God……but – how do we become holy and walk in holiness and, is it possible?This book has the answer – based on the Word of God and testimonies of past saints who did walk in holiness and, through whose lives God was able to move, often bringing revival and thousands of souls to the Lord.Lack of teaching on this vital doctrine of Experiential Sanctification is a major reason why the Church is not walking in holiness and victory. The lateness of the hour and days in which we live surely spur us on to seek our God with all our hearts, and cry, ‘Create in me a clean heart, O God’. ‘Holiness – the Key to Revival’ will enlighten and excite the believer to experience a more effective personal Christian Life.Patricia Knowles has always yearned for a God-sent Revival. David, her husband, has a wonderful ‘library’ of ‘old-timers’ testimonies of personal and national revivals, and has made excellent research into this subject.Patricia has been active in many aspects of church life including leadership roles. They have two married children and four grandchildren. |

How Women Saved the City $24.5 Urban History/Women’s Studies Reclaims the lost history of women’s contributions to the development of American cities. In the days between the Civil War and World War I, women rarely worked outside the home, rarely went to college, and, if our histories are to be believed, rarely put their mark on the urban spaces unfolding around them. And yet, as this book clearly demonstrates, women did play a key role in shaping the American urban landscape. To uncover the contribution of women to urban development at the turn of the nineteenth century, Daphne Spain looks at the places where women participated most actively in public life-voluntary organizations like the Young Women’s Christian Association, the Salvation Army, the College Settlements Association, and the National Association of Colored Women. In the extensive building projects of these associations-boarding houses, vocational schools, settlement houses, public baths, and playgrounds-she finds clear evidence of a built environment created by women. Exploring this environment, Spain reconstructs the story of the “redemptive places” that addressed the real needs of city dwellers-especially single women, African Americans, immigrants, and the poor-and established an environment in which newcomers could learn to become urban Americans. Daphne Spain is professor in the Department of Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia. Translation Inquiries: University of Minnesota Press |

How the Irish Saved Civilization $11.99 The perfect St. Patrick’s Day gift, and a book in the best tradition of popular history the untold story of Ireland’s role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman’s A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunchedcivilization.From the Hardcover edition. |

The Crisis of Western Education $22.39 A new edition of Christopher Dawson’s classic work on Christian higher educationThe Crisis of Western Education, originally published in 1961, served as a capstone of Christopher Dawson’s thought on the Western educational system. Long out of print, the book has now been updated with a new introduction by Glenn W. Olsen and is included in the ongoing Works of Christopher Dawson series. In all of his writings, Dawson masterfully brings various disciplinary perspectives and historical sources into a complex unity of expression and applies them to concrete conditions of modern society.Dawson argued that Western culture had become increasingly defined by a set of economic and political preoccupations ultimately hostile to its larger spiritual end. Inevitably, its educational systems also became increasingly technological and pragmatic, undermining the long standing emphasis on liberal learning and spiritual reflection which were hallmarks of the Christian humanism that created it. In this important work on the Western educational system, Dawson traces the history of these developments and argues that Western civilization can only be saved by redirecting its entire educational system from its increasing vocationalism and specialization. He insists that the Christian college must be the cornerstone of such an educational reform. However, he argued that this redirection would require a much more organic and comprehensive study of the living Christian tradition than had been attempted in the past. Dawson had reservations about educational initiatives that had been developed in response to this crisis of education. Among them, he expressed doubts about newly emerginggreat books programs fearing that they would reduce the great tradition of a living culture to a set of central texts or great ideas. In contrast, he insisted that a Christian education had to be concerned with “how spiritual forces are transmitted and how they change culture, often in |

The Nazi Officer’s Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust $15.99 <P>Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a labor camp. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite Edith’s protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret.<P>In wrenching detail, Edith recalls a life of constant, almost paralyzing fear. She tells of German officials who casually questioned the lineage of her parents; of how, when giving birth to her daughter, she refused all painkillers, afraid that in an altered state of mind she might reveal something of her past; and of how, after her husband was captured by the Soviet army, she was bombed out of her house and had to hide while drunken Russian soldiers raped women on the street.<P>Yet despite the risk it posed to her life, Edith created a remarkable record of survival. She saved every document and set of papers issued to her, as well as photographs she managed to take inside labor camps. Now part of the permanent collection at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., these hundreds of documents, several of which are included in this volume, form the fabric of a gripping new chapter in the history of the Holocaust — complex, troubling, and ultimately triumphant. |
