Unfinished Believing Is Only The Beginning
$22.49
What do you do after you believe?
Imagine the shock felt by Jesus’ disciples. They had witnessed the unprecedented drama of the Incarnation of God in the person of Jesus, his remarkable miracles, his brutal death and then-beyond all belief-his stunning resurrection from the dead. Their leader and Messiah was alive again and would lead them to redeem his people. But then, as suddenly as he had appeared, Jesus just left. It was over. Or was it?
Before Jesus left he entrusted his disciples-and us-with a critical mission: to launch a spiritual and social revolution that would turn the world upside down. We were to go to the far corners of the earth to proclaim the gospel and demonstrate the love of God to a hurting and hostile world. Jesus called this mission “‘the advance of the kingdom of God”, and when the job was done, He promised to return.
But two thousand years later the mission remains unfinished. This book is an invitation to discover the life that God created you to live. It’s not about failure and guilt but more about opportunities and joy, because God doesn’t coerce us-he invites us. He offers meaning, fulfillment, and significance in our lives but always gives us the option to decline, and sadly, many do.
It is time to rediscover our calling. It is time to relaunch.

Love Stories Of The Bible Speak
$27.00Add to cartBiblical Studies
Additional Info
The Bible is full of “love” stories. But the Biblical idea of love is so much bigger than we imagine.Love is at the heart of the Bible. From the moment Adam declared Eve “flesh of my flesh”…to the sacrificial love of Joseph for Mary…to the deep friendship of David and Jonathan…to the abounding and never-changing love of God: The Bible is a love story. But it also redefines the way the world tells us we should think about love.
The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God’s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God’s unconditional love for His people.
In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families. She shows how God’s love is often very different from ours, turning upside down our assumptions about life, relationships, and each other.
The Love Stories of the Bible Speak reminds us that, no matter where we find ourselves, God’s unwavering love will sustain and guide us. These insights into biblical relationships will uplift and encourage you, and reveal new dimensions to the most central Christian duty: to love God and your neighbor.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99Add to cartIn this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
