  Living His Story Together

  $14.99

  In Living His Story: Revealing the Extraordinary Love of God in Ordinary Ways, Hannah Steele wrote with an infectious understanding of her subject’ (Mark Oakley, Church Times). Now she turns her attention to mission and evangelism that is not only for individuals but for the whole local church. Offering an inspiring mandate for the church to see itself as a missionary community, Hannah considers the practical outworkings of that identity through biblical material and real-life stories from churches on the front line.

  Being His Story isn’t an argument for a particular model of church (plant or parish for example) but a simple yet exciting exploration of what can happen when two or three are gathered together, empowered by the Spirit and seeking to be good news in the world today. It covers contemporary missional themes, such as hospitality, presence, diversity and spoken witness and draws on contemporary scholarship and ideas, while being eminently suitable for study in home groups.

  Shepherds For Sale

  $32.99

  How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America’s churches?

  Liberal theology isn’t new. Pastors and theologians have drifted, slipped, or even plunged into doctrinal error for centuries. But in recent decades, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham reveals, well-funded forces from outside the church have been sowing seeds of discord from behind the scenes.

  In Shepherds for Sale, Basham documents how progressive powerbrokers –from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration– set out to change the American church. Secular foundations and think tanks have deliberately targeted Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations, not to mention many high-profile pastors and influencers, with infiltration and astroturf campaigns. Their goal: to co-opt the church for political purposes. In exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise.

  Now, many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” Meanwhile, America’s largest evangelical denominations are fraught with division over issues like critical race theory, and many ministries once known for publishing sound doctrine are now promoting social justice.

  Through years of investigation, Basham uncovered compromise at the highest levels of evangelical leadership –from the revered Presbyterian theologian who furtively backed a rogue congregation rebelling against his own denomination, to the celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality.

  A rigorously reported expose, Shepherds for Sale serves as a warning of what can happen when a church forgets that true power lies not in the world’s wisdom, but in Scripture.

  Flying Falling Catching

  $25.99

  Henri 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.

  Friend Of God

  $22.99

  ‘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 as ‘the friend of God’, and this comprehensive study by John Lennox shows why.

  Abraham is unquestionably one of the most outstanding and influential figures in world history. He had no political or military achievements, and he left no literary remains, yet today billions of people – more than half of the world’s population – claim him as their spiritual father.

  Throughout the Bible Abraham is seen as a pivotal figure in God’s plan of salvation, and in this richly detailed account of his life and times, John Lennox helps us to see through mists of the past to the real flesh-and-blood man, with all his strengths and weaknesses, and to better appreciate all that Abraham stands for as a model of faith for today.
