Caution – A Disclaimer
The works listed herein are, for the most part, consistent with
what we believe.
Have the authors spoken or written, in the works listed below or in other
places, about positions inconsistent with
what we believe? Yes. Does any individual know all of or only the truth? No. The Bible is
the standard - all of its positions, on every topic, are true (2 Tim 3:16-17). Yet,
considering the interpretations of others and weighing them against ours, on any position,
while using the Bible as the reference standard for truth, presents an opportunity for
increasing the breadth and depth of our understanding.

insight, this book will give readers renewed enthusiasm for embarking on this essential

Celebration of Discipline
Richard Foster
When Richard Foster began writing Celebration of Discipline more than 20
years ago, an older writer gave him a bit of advice: "Be sure that every
chapter forces the reader into the next chapter." Foster took the advice
to heart; as a result, his book presents one of the most compelling and
readable visions of Christian spirituality published in the past few decades.
After beginning with a simple observation – "Superficiality is the
curse of our age.... The desperate need today is not for a greater number of
intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people" – Foster's
book moves to explain the disciplines people must cultivate in order to achieve
spiritual depth. In succinct, urgent, and sometimes humorous chapters, Foster
defines a broad range of classic spiritual disciplines in terms that are lucid
without being too limiting and offers advice that's practical without being
overly prescriptive. For instance, after describing meditation as a combination of
"intense intimacy and awful reverence," he settles into such
down-to-earth topics as how to choose a place and a posture in which to
meditate.

Conformed to His Image
Dr. Kenneth Boa
What does a relationship with God look like and how do we obtain it? It is
vital for church leaders to grapple seriously with this question, for pat
answers no longer suffice. Lives well-lived, not just words eloquently spoken,
must become our response. The quality of our relationship with God is what will
influence the health, potency, and witness of the church in an increasingly complex
and hostile world.
Designed for use as a college or seminary course, Conformed to His Image helps us
build our lives on a fully biblical perspective. Exploring twelve approaches to
Christian spirituality in depth, Dr. Kenneth Boa corrects our tendency to pick
and compartmentalize. Pointing the way instead to an integrative, whole-life
approach, Dr. Boa shows how each spiritual paradigm discussed is just one
important facet in the gem of authentic and powerful New Testament living.
Fields of Gold
Andy Stanley
Fields of Gold is a practical and inspirational book on the principle of sowing
and reaping. If we sow fear, what will be our harvest? And conversely, if we sow
faith, what will we grow? This book moves the reader beyond fear and guilt about
money and into confidence, security, and excitement.
Andy Stanley unpacks our irrational fears about money, helping us to discover
that generous giving is actually an invitation for our heavenly Father to get
involved in our finances and resupply us with enough seed to sow generously
throughout our lifetime.
Can Man Live Without God?
Ravi Zacharias
In this brilliant and compelling defense of the Christian faith, Ravi Zacharias
shows how affirming the reality of God's existence matters urgently in our
everyday lives. According to Zacharias, how you answer the questions of God's
existence will impact your relationship with others, your commitment to integrity,
your attitude toward morality, and your perception of truth.
Miracles
C.S. Lewis
An impeccable inquiry into the proposition that supernatural events
can happen in this world. C. S. Lewis uses his remarkable logic to
build a solid argument for the existence of divine intervention.
Weight of Glory
C.S. Lewis
Selected from sermons delivered by C. S. Lewis during World War II, these
nine addresses offer guidance and inspiration in a time of great doubt.
These are ardent and lucid sermons that provide a compassionate vision of
Christianity.
New York Times - "Lewis combines a novelist's insights into motives
with a profound religious understanding."
New Kind of Christian
Brian D. McLaren
McLaren, pastor and author of The Church on the Other Side, proposes that postmodernism
is the road to take in order to move on from the current stalemate between conservative
evangelical and liberal Christians. His books are part of his activist work to promote
"innovation, entrepreneurial leadership and a desire to be on the leading edge of
ministry."
Here he has adopted the fictional tale of an earnest, very conservative pastor who has
become so burned out in his church life that he is planning to quit the pastorate.
Instead, he makes friends with his daughter's science teacher, who leads him to an
enthusiastic embracing of postmodernism as applied to the Christian message.
In this fictional conversation, McLaren describes this process as a journey of Holy Spirit
-guided faith "through the winds and currents of change.&#quot; His conservative
pastor character comes to accept the Bible as a premodern text that presents its message in
story and does not have to conform to our modern expectations. The book's attention-
grabbing format is an effective mode of presenting McLaren's ideas.
For a Time We Cannot See
Crawford Loritts
It is nearly impossible to reach mid-life without some reflection upon one's
desire to leave a legacy and build for an unseen future. Loritts believes that
these yearnings experienced by 'second halfers' are actually rooted in
a longing for eternity in heaven.
He writes:'Those of us who are followers of Christ need to be reminded that
there is a place that is really ours,a home for which we are created. God has
given us the gift of eternal life and a place in heaven, and He has placed the
longing for heaven in our hearts. This is our home, our destiny, and our calling.
'Loritts' wisdom is at once down-to-earth and biblical. The
reader will see a transparent author who is journeying through these issues
himself and will be admonished to examine his or her present priorities in view
of eternity.

Renovation of the Heart
Dallas Willard
Willard (The Divine Conspiracy), a professor of philosophy at the University of
Southern California who is also a Southern Baptist minister, here tackles the
central Christian question of how to be more like Christ. He claims that the
church's failures throughout history are a result of Christians' reading biblical
passages that adjure them to Christ-like perfection and then trying to reach that
perfection by behaving more perfectly. Instead, he argues that believers should
allow God to transform them internally so that their actions, though never quite
perfect, will at least be more aligned with God. Willard delineates six areas of
such transformation thought, feeling, will, body, social context and soul and
delineates a general process toward transforming each.
Waking the Dead
John Eldredge
Eldredge, who helped to redefine the Christian men's movement with Wild at Heart, broadens his scope to offer this more general spirituality title on being "fully alive." Such a state of total animation is achieved only when Christians can integrate all four "streams" of their lives: discipleship, counseling, healing and warfare. (This last part may surprise some readers, but Eldredge insists that awareness of spiritual warfare actually "may be the most critical" aspect of being fully alive.) Throughout, he argues that there is glory hidden in each Christian's heart, an echo of how Christ has "ransomed and restored" every person. The goal, then, is to capture and maintain a sense of liberation from that restoration. Eldredge fans will find that he has not departed much from the formula that made Wild at Heart so successful; he culls examples from popular culture (The Perfect Storm, The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz) and tells vivid stories from his own experience.
Despite the careful formula, the book rarely feels formulaic; it has an unguarded heart and an opinionated lucidity that may surprise readers. Eldredge is honest about the fact that life can be arduous, confusing and filled with despair, but he also affirms a deep Christian hope. Established Eldredge fans will be pleased with this new offering, and it will gather some new readers, especially women. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

What's So Amazing About Grace?
Philip Yancey
Mention the word "grace" and what immediately comes to mind for most of
us is a bagpipe wailing the solemn notes of "Amazing Grace."
The grace of which Philip Yancey writes is the freely given and unmerited favor
and love of God. This grace seems a remote, almost sentimental concept, without
a place in our lives or our society. It is a vague, slippery thing to us,
probably because we seem to experience grace so rarely and have managed to leech
the word of meaning. But Philip Yancey has set about to rescue grace in his book
