I Prayed And Nothing Changed
$13.99
Ste Casey addresses the disappointment that comes when life seems to go from bad to worse despite our fervent prayers for change.
When pain and disappointment shrink our world to the size of what’s troubling us, we can easily miss what’s right in front of us-our God and his daily grace. Pastor and counselor Ste Casey reminds readers that although our worries, fears, and suffering can fill our mind’s eye, the truth is that God is still watching, keeping, caring, hearing, and speaking to us.
I Prayed and Nothing Changed will challenge you to be honest as you talk to God about your struggles in our messed-up world. Casey points readers to see all that God is doing, even when he seems distant, and encourages readers with specific ways we can see God at work in the silence.
*Practical, accessible, spiritual guidance on disappointment with prayer written by a pastor and experienced counselor.
*Part of the Ask the Christian Counselor series, walking readers through their deepest and most profound questions.
*Gives readers the tools to understand their struggle with waiting on change and how the gospel brings hope and healing.
*Compact format goes deeper than New Growth Press’s popular minibooks without overwhelming the reader.

Playing God : Science Religion And The Future Of Humanity
$26.99Could science one day ‘defeat death’?
What would alien contact mean for humanity?
Has medicine finally found a cure for sadness?
Will AI replace us?
For too long, the ‘science and religion’ debate has fixated on creation, evolution, cosmology, miracles and quantum theory. But this, argue Nick Spencer and Hannah Waite, is a mistake. Religious belief has survived, and thrived, under many different models of the universe. It was never intended to be a competing explanation for the science of any age. Where science and religion really do come together – sometimes furiously, sometimes fruitfully – is over the status and nature of the human. And that has never been more important than today.
Whether it’s the quest for immortality or the search for alien life, the treatment of pandemics or ‘animal personhood’, AI or mental health, abortion or genetic editing, science is making advances that are posing huge questions about what it means to be human, whether we should change ourselves, and how far we should ‘play God’.
These developments are only going to grow in significance. Playing God brings readers up to date with the latest developments but also draws out their moral and religious dimensions. In so doing, it shows how the future of science and religion is inextricably tied up with the future of humanity.

Friend Of God Study Guide (Student/Study Guide)
$14.99‘Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith. He was even called the friend of God.’ (James 2.23)
Abraham is the only character in the Bible to be described in that way, and John C. Lennox shows us why. Throughout the Bible Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God’s plan of salvation, and in Friend of God Professor Lennox helps us to see through the mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses.
This study guide to Friend of God is packed with thought-provoking suggestions for private reflection or group discussion, drawing out the many ways in which the story of Abraham can teach us how to live faithfully in a world of religious doubt and scepticism today.

Flying Falling Catching
$25.99Henri Nouwen’s never-before-published story of his surprising friendship with a traveling trapeze troupe.
During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual author Henri J. M. Nouwen became close to The Flying Rodleighs, a trapeze troupe in a traveling circus. Like Nouwen’s own life, a trapeze act is full of artistry, exhilarating successes, crushing failures and continual forgiveness. He wrote about his experience in a genre new to him: creative non-fiction.
In Flying, Falling, Catching, Nouwen’s colleague and friend Carolyn Whitney-Brown presents his unpublished trapeze writings framed by the true story of his rescue through a hotel window by paramedics during his first heart attack. Readers will meet Nouwen as a spiritual risk taker who was transformed through his engagement with these trapeze artists, as well as his participation in the Civil Rights movement, his life in community with people with intellectual disabilities, his personal growth through friendships during the 1990s AIDS pandemic, and other unexpected encounters.
What will we do with our lives, and with whom will we do it? In this story of flying and catching, Nouwen invites us all to let go and fly, even when we are afraid of falling.
