1 Blood : Parting Words To The Church On Race And Love (Unabridged) (Audio CD)
$4.00
Dr. Perkins’ final manifesto on race, faith, and reconciliation.
We are living in historic times. Not since the civil rights movement of the 60’s has our country been as vigorously engaged in the reconciliation conversation. There is a great opportunity right now for culture to change, to be a more perfect union. However, it cannot be done without the Church, because the faith of the people is more powerful than any law government can enact.
The church is the heart and moral compass of a nation. To turn a country away from God you must sideline the Church. To turn a nation to God the Church must turn first. Racism won’t end in America until the Church is reconciled first and then, and only then, it can spiritually and morally lead the way.
In this his crowning work, Dr. Perkins speaks honestly to the church about the things he’s discovered to be crucial about reconciliation, discipleship, and justice… the principles vital to a complete ministry of reconciliation.”
He offers a call to repentance to both the white church and the black church. He explains how band-aid approaches of the past won’t do. And while applauding these starter efforts, he holds that true reconciliation won’t happen until we get more intentional and relational. True friendships must happen and on every level. This will take the whole church, not just the pastors and staff.
The racial reconciliation of our churches and nation won’t be done with big campaigns or through mass media. It will come one loving, sacrificial relationship at a time. The Gospel and all that it encompasses has always traveled best relationally. We have much to learn from each other and each have unique poverties that can only be filled by one another. The way forward is to become “wounded healers” who bandage each other up as we discover what the family of God really looks like. Real relationships, sacrificial love between actual people, is the way forward. Nothing less will do.

Wild At Heart (Unabridged) (Audio CD)
$4.00Add to cartEvery man was once a boy. And every little boy has dreams, big dreams: dreams of being a hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty.
But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are bored. In Wild At Heart, John Eldredge invites men to recover their masculine heart, defined in the image of a passionate God. And he invites women to discover the secret of a man’s soul and to delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer.

Multiply 1 : Disciples Making Disciples (Audio CD)
$4.00Add to cartJesus Christ handpicked common, uneducated men to build His church (Acts 4:13). Several were fishermen. One was a tax collector. All of them could be labeled “ordinary.” Yet under their leadership, the church flourished while the world stood amazed.
Today, the church looks to “trained professionals” to do the work. Lay people who have tremendous potential are made to feel inadequate by the religious elite. Many are paralyzed, believing that they “don’t know enough” to be of much help. So they sit silently in church services and watch the educated minister. This was never God’s intention.
Too many Christians are intimidated by the thought of speaking to others about Jesus. Most feel like they don’t know enough to lead others. This material is designed to change that.

Living On Our Heads (Unabridged) (Audio CD)
$4.00Add to cartOur nation suffers from an epidemic of upside-down thinking and we are poorer and weaker for it. That is the central premise of this new book by Rod Parsley. In it Parsley opens with a references to the 1970 movie Little Big Man in which Dustin Hoffman discovers that an old acquaintance has become a Contrary, an Indian with a mental disorder that causes him to do everything backwards such as washing with dirt and drying off in the river. Also cited are the perverse, inverted Bizzaro world of certain Superman comics and the concept of Newspeak from George Orwell s 1984, which declared: War is peace; freedom is slavery; and ignorance is strength.
In tone, the book is mildly satirical and uses humor and good-natured mockery liberally to poke fun at the absurdity of the twisted positions held by so many cultural elites. The style and tone would similar to that of syndicated columnists Mark Steyn and Jonah Goldberg.
Structurally, this work is divided into two sections, each covering a theme that illustrates the book s premise of upside-down thinking and values. Each section will open with a brief overview of the topic; contain 8-10 chapters covering some example or point; and conclude with a clear declaration of right-side-up thinking.
