Except The Lord Build The House
Original price was: $11.99.$2.50Current price is: $2.50.Add to cartMy pediatrician walked in. My jubilant Hi! brought a beet-red flush to his face-my heart stopped as he groped for the only words I actually heard, …and I’m sorry, but your son expired at eight this morning.
This is a breathtakingly courageous testimony of learning to lean utterly on God. Enduring the most devastating tragedy that a parent can ever experience, Carlsen learns the futility of trying to micromanage the Creator. She learns to listen, learns the nature of true obedience to His will, and her heart and spirit are forged into greater and greater intimacy of trust in the Lord.
Her faith is tested again and again as she surrenders every facet of every nuance of every decision into God’s control. In the midst of her pain, the author gains invaluable insight into the nature of Christian growth, drawing a parallel to the raising up of a baby to maturity. In her clear and direct voice, the concept is staggering in its simplicity:
Imagine if pastors were able to assign mature elders and deacons to patiently nurture and instruct new believers about how to work out their own salvation day by day…The church is not a building we come to; it is a living structure we are part of. We don’t come together to act like Christians as part of an exclusive club.
This book examines intimate subjects that are difficult to read about-no reader will get to the end unaffected-yet at the same time…there’s the most incongruous thread of joy woven through the whole. There is teaching here, and a whole universe of emotion. A journey of hope and deepening faith, Except the Lord Build the House is a deeply moving experience.
Hole In Our Holiness
Original price was: $14.99.$6.00Current price is: $6.00.Add to cartThe hole in our holiness is that evangelicals don’t look particularly holy. In fact, there seems to be a greater focus on either personal depravity or moral liberalism rather than on the pursuit of holiness. Looking to right the balances, Kevin DeYoung presents an award-winning, popular-level book on sanctification and union with Christ, helping readers to see what matters most-being like Jesus. He shows how one can be like Christ in being joined to Christ. The market is ready for DeYoung’s timely word, ready to avoid legalism and ambivalence, and they are ready for someone to articulate the inextricable relationship between grace and holiness. Now available in paperback.
Strange Fire : The Danger Of Offending The Holy Spirit With Counterfeit Wor
Original price was: $26.99.$16.19Current price is: $16.19.Add to cartDr. John MacArthur teaches about the Holy Spirit and reveals how some parts of the Charismatic movement dishonor God.
When Nadab and Abihu offered a strange fire to the Lord (Leviticus 10:1-3), when the Pharisees attributed the Spirit’s work to Satan (Matthew 12:22-37), and when Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:1-6), each was an affront that brought severe consequences even unto death. The Bible is clear that affronting the Holy Spirit is no laughing matter. Yet millions do it every day.
The Charismatic movement, with more than half a billion members worldwide, is the fastest growing religious movement in the world. It boldly plasters the Holy Spirit’s name on unbiblical worship like barking, jumping, laughing, trance-like states, extra biblical revelation, incomprehensible speech, inaccurate prophecies, and ineffective healings. To the misguided many, these are the works of the Holy Spirit, but they are not from God at all.
Strange Fire offers a biblical message to make right what has been wrong, help believers discern true worship, and free those who have been swept up in false worship. With thorough exegesis, historical context of the Charismatic movement, and pastoral guidance, this book reclaims the true power and import of the Holy Spirit for evangelicals and rebuffs those in the Charismatic movement who tempt God’s wrath with strange fire.
What Is The Meaning Of Sex
Original price was: $25.00.$10.61Current price is: $10.61.Read moreSex is a big deal. And in our postmodern, post-Christian culture, Christians are feeling the pressure to ditch their traditional beliefs and conform to society’s evolving views on sexuality and gender. Responding to the pressure with conviction and clarity, this book spells out the Bible’s teaching on sex from a biblical perspective, arguing that the ultimate goal of all human sexuality is the glory of God. After outlining key biblical standards and explaining the true purposes for sex (procreation, pleasure, love, etc.), the latter portion of the book explores controversial issues such as homosexuality, the transgender movement, and polygamy. Firmly rooted in the pages of Scripture, this book sets forth a compelling vision of sexuality that is both soul-satisfying and God-glorifying.
Managing Your Emotions
Original price was: $6.25.$5.99Current price is: $5.99.Add to cartEmotions are a powerful and important part of life, but sometimes it feels like they are out of control. Mild frustration quickly turns to anger. Sadness becomes despair. Disappointment deepens into bitterness. You may begin to wonder if you control your feelings or if they control you!
Amy Baker explains that our emotions don’t have to run our lives. Instead, our emotions can reflect God’s character even in our broken world. Through discussing how Jesus expressed his emotions and working through practical examples of real-life struggles, she shares how the gospel offers new resources for handling your emotions productively and reshapes the desires and interpretations that fuel your feelings.

Shame Interrupted : How God Lifts The Pain Of Worthlessness And Rejection
Original price was: $19.99.$15.99Current price is: $15.99.Add to cartShame controls far too many of us. Worthless, inferior, rejected, weak, humiliated, failure…it all adds up to wishing we could get away from others and hide. We know what shame feels like. The way out, however, is harder to find. Time doesn’t help, neither does confession, because shame is just as often from what others do to you as it is from what you have done. But the Bible is about shame from start to finish, and, if we are willing, God’s beautiful words break through. Look at Jesus through the lens of shame and see how the marginalized and worthless are his favorites and become his people. God cares for the shamed. Through Jesus you are covered, adopted, cleansed, and healed.

You are never beyond the reach of God’s grace. Neither are you ever beyond the need of God’s grace.
Without grace we’d never come to Christ. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ, it’s about growing and becoming more like Jesus. This pursuit of holiness is hard work, and as we enter into this discipline, we sometimes lose sight of grace. Jerry Bridges helps us steer clear of this disastrous distraction, offering a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer.
