If you were a journalist, how would you handle a news story so big it would utterly eclipse all other world events?

How thorough would your investigation be?

How many hard-hitting questions would you ask?

How carefully would you consult with top experts to get detailed, accurate answers?

Lee Strobel knows firsthand.
It was as an award-winning reporter for the Chicago Tribune and an avowed atheist that he first investigated the greatest news story of all—the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

And, at the end of his investigation, he discovered faith---faith in Jesus! Hopefully you will too as you check out this book!

A Love Supreme....Jesus-style!



Donald Miller’s fresh and original voice may change the way Christians view the “status quo” faith and build a bridge to seekers who believe that organized religion doesn’t meet their spiritual needs.

“I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn’t resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn’t resolve. But that was before any of this happened.”
In Donald Miller’s early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal.
Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

Blue Like Jazz is perfect for ultramoderns, postmoderns, pre-moderns, and old folks! A fresh look at the Gospel of Grace, and a new view toward university ministry!

Come Thirsty - No Heart Too Dry For His Touch!



Are you a dry sponge?

Edgy and rigid? Ineffective? Would you like to be softened up some? Would you like to be more useful in the hands of the One who made you? Then come to the well, says Max Lucado.

Scientists assure us that humans can’t live without water, and we don’t even attempt it. But survival without God? Oh, we sip, we taste, but we’re prone to go extended times without a good drink from the well of the Lord. And we pay the price for doing so. We shrink. We coil and re-coil against the world... organs harden... hearts harden.

In this renewing and life-giving book, Max Lucado, leads us to the four essential nutrients needed by every soul.

Come to the cross and know that your sins are pardoned and your death is defeated.
Receive Christ's energy and believe that you can do all things through the one who gives you strength. Receive his Lordship, knowing that you belong to him and that He looks out for you. Receive his love and feel confident that nothing can separate you from it.

Come, with Max, to the WELL...
to Christ's Work on the cross, his energy, his Lordship and his Love.

Why be dry when you can be saturated? The only requirement is to come thirsty.

It's time to make a change...

So many people today have an unhealthy need for affirmation and are unable to feel good about themselves without it. These "approval addicts" spend their time in a constant struggle with low self-esteem and emotional turmoil-which leads to major problems in their relationships with others.

In her latest book, Joyce Meyer provides a path to release from the overwhelming need for acceptance from the outside world-an acceptance that is unfulfilling and leads only to disappointment. Through an analysis of what makes an "approval addict" and the ways to find release from specific character traits that foster addiction, Joyce provides a supportive voice and a personal understanding of the effect of insecurity in one's life. Her abiding message is that God provides all the affirmation anyone needs and through Him they can attain freedom. Begin the journey toward self-understanding and learn to:

* Accept who you are. All of us struggle with our sense of worthiness. Joyce's goal is to help us understand that we are all whole in God, regardless of our flaws.
* Address your approval addictions. Understanding the specific character traits that foster addiction-and how our past is often a factor in our behavior-is a major step in overcoming our insecurities.
* Break the pattern for the future. Only by taking conscious steps toward accepting ourselves and examining our motives, and by depending on the God who loves us regardless, can we finally begin to break the chains of insecurity and move toward a life free from emotional pain.
* God tells us over and over in the Bible that we are loved and we are worthy.
Begin now to overcome your approval addiction by taking an honest look at who you are and how you feel about yourself.

This is a great Bible, and it is being discontinued...check it out!




Most Christian women long for a mentor in the faith. Ministry leaders are eager to mentor others, but find themselves unable to personally meet the needs of the many women wanting to be discipled. The Women of Destiny Bible can help both groups. By combining the collective wisdom of the world's most respected Charismatic women leaders with the full NKJV text, this Bible allows women in leadership to communicate their experiences with God, their struggles and victories, their best advice to other women they look up to, women who are experts in their fields and uniquely qualified to help others "grow up" in God. The Bible teaches that women should mentor, counsel, and be encouraged by other women. Editor Cindy Jacobs arranged the Women of Destiny Bible to do precisely that. With the help of over 100 female contributors such as Anna Hayford and Fuchsia Pickett, insight is shed upon countless readings of Scripture from a woman's perspective. From the warm welcome letter to the purple script throughout its pages, this decidedly feminine Bible is meant to draw women to a greater devotion to God. Mothers are mentored on how to discipline their children, single women receive biblical advice on finances and contentment, and all women are challenged to live with integrity.

This mentoring unveils itself through "Women of Destiny Letters"--literal letters written by Christian women to inspire and convict the reader, through the compelling stories of "Heroines of the Faith" from Eve to Joan of Arc to Amy Carmichael, and through "Words of Wisdom" (short quotes) by famous and familiar Christian sojourners. This would be a wonderful gift or first-time Bible since it details how to use the Bible, how to know God, how to become a Christian, and how the gifts of the Holy Spirit manifest themselves. A wonderful breath of fresh air for those hungry to study students of the Bible.Despite its wonderful packaging, the Word of God promises to change your life.
