C. S. Lewis

A forceful and accessible discussion of Christian belief that has become one of the most popular introductions to Christianity and one of the most popular of Lewis's books. Uncovers common ground upon which all Christians can stand together. Mere Christianity is the most popular of C. S. Lewis's works of nonfiction, with several million copies sold worldwide. Heard first as radio addresses and then published as three separate books - The Case for Christianity, Christian Behavior, and Beyond Personality this book brings together Lewis's legendary broadcast talks of the war years, talks in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times." It is a collection of scintillating brilliance which remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader, and which confirms C. S. Lewis's reputation as one of the leading Christian writers and thinkers of our age.

Donald Miller

Through Painted Deserts, Searching for God Knows What & Blue Like Jazz

Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz was turned down by many publishers because his writing was too quirky and stream of consciousness.  More than a million copies later, his books have reshaped how publishers (and most everyone else) think about spiritual literature.  But more importantly, Donald Miller's writing has reshaped how readers look at life.
His writing never is never predictable and always fresh, and he makes readers think in ways they've never thought before.  He tells stories that move them to laughter as well as tears.  He probes tenderly into the pain and messiness of life and reveals how grace shines through.  Readers keep following Don's stream of consciousness through his books because his quirkiness isn't just stylistic eccentricity.  It's a quest to discover where God is most real in our lives.

As he tracks down Jacqueline's killer, he'll find himself tangled up with a mysterious group called Triunfo which claims to rehabilitate former gang members--but are their intentions as honorable as they claim?

Terri Blackstock

In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to the age before electricity, Deni Branning's career ambitions have vanished. She's not about to let her dream of marriage go as well. But keeping it alive will require extraordinary measures. Yesterday's world is gone. All Deni and her family have left is each other and their neighbors. Their little community will either stand or fall together. But they're only beginning to realize that-and trust doesn't come easily. Particularly when one of them is a killer. Bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock weaves a masterful what-if novel in which global catastrophe reveals the darkness in human hearts-and lights the way to restoration for a self-centered world.

Staff Recommendation:
How would an upper-middle-class Christian family adjust to a global disaster that leaves everyone without electricity, running water, supplies, transportation, and communication? And what could cause something like that? Reading this book, I couldn't help but wonder how an event like that would affect my life - it made me very grateful for what I have, and the peace and safety I currently enjoy. Even long after I finished reading it, I found myself asking, "What if I turned on the tap and nothing came out, ever again? How would I cook my food? Where would I get food?" Very thought-provoking! I think that any adult would enjoy and benefit from reading Last Light. And, unlike a lot of other series, it doesn't leave you hanging at the end, although you will look forward to Book #2!

Terri Blackstock

In the face of a crisis that sweeps an entire high-tech planet back to the age before electricity, the Brannings face a choice. Will they hoard their possessions to survive—or trust God to provide as they offer their resources to others?
 
#1 bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock weaves a masterful what-if series in which global catastrophe reveals the darkness in human hearts—and lights the way to restoration for a self-centered world.
 
An era unlike any in modern civilization is descending, one without lights, electronics, running water, or automobiles. As a global blackout lengthens into months, the neighbors of Oak Hollow grapple with a chilling realization: the power may never return.
 
Survival has become a lifestyle. When two young thieves break into the Brannings’ home and clean out the food in their pantry, Jeff Branning tracks them to a filthy apartment and discovers a family of children living alone, stealing to stay alive. Where is their mother? The search for answers uncovers a trail of desperation and murder . . . and for the Brannings, a powerful new purpose that can transform their entire community—and above all, themselves.

Terri Blackstock

As Oak Hollow grapples with a global power blackout, a teenager is shot in a food robbery. Jailed as the suspect, young Mark Green must prove his innocence to a community that has already judged him in its heart. But the Branning family stands with him as he fights to survive—and forgive. Book three in Terri Blackstock’s Restoration series.

Terri Blackstock

In the final book of the Restoration Series by bestselling author Terri Blackstock, the end of a global electrical blackout signals the beginning of the Branning family’s ultimate test. Murder and affairs of the heart form the backdrop for a family sifting through the lessons they have learned—and how well they have truly learned them.

As the Pulses that caused the outage are finally coming to an end, thirteen-year-old Beth Branning witnesses a murder. Threatened by the killer, she keeps the matter to herself. But her silence could cost her life.
Meanwhile, as Deni’s ex-fiancé returns to Crockett with a newfound faith and the influence to get things done, Deni is torn between the man who can fulfill all her dreams and Mark Green, the man who inhabits them.
As the world slowly emerges from the crisis, the Brannings face their toughest crisis yet. Will God require more of them than they’ve already given? How will they keep their faith if he doesn’t answer their prayers?

Mindy Starns Clark

Miranda Miller wasn’t looking for the news the day the letter came. But, trying to survive in troubled circumstances, she welcomes the chance to change her location for a period of time. The letter informs her that her grandparents’ estate is finally about to become hers. She immediately heads down to Louisiana and the old house by the bayou. There Miranda finds secrets that lead to life–changing revelations.

This suspenseful story reminiscent of old Gothic tales has a complex mystery and a vivid sense of the Deep South. It shows how God can take the darkest circumstances and use them to light a bright path leading to the future.

Tim Downs

Dead men tell no lies

When Hurricane Katrina takes New Orleans by storm, forensic entomologist Nick Polchak is waiting for her. He's part of DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Response Team), the FEMA team assigned to recover and identify human remains in large-scale disasters.

The trouble is, Nick isn't much of a team player. And he doesn't take well to following orders he doesn't agree with--such as the decision to divert all personnel to rescuing the living and leaving the dead for later.

Nick begs to differ. He's there to collect bodies, and he's going to do just that--especially when he starts finding bodies that were clearly dead before the hurricane struck. Nick understands that all forensic evidence will soon disintegrate in the hot, contaminated water . . . and he knows that's exactly what the killer wants to happen.

The more Nick tries to uncover answers, the stronger--and deadlier--the resistance becomes. And it doesn't help that a beautiful psychiatrist thinks he's on the verge of a mental breakdown . . . can even the Bug Man uncover the truth?

William Young

Mackenzie Allen Philip's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she might have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend.

Against his better judgment, he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever.

In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant The Shack wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you, and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone you know to read this book!

Our Thoughts about The Shack by William P. Young

Young uses the genre of allegorical fiction to unveil truths about the pain of mankind and nature of God.  His portrayal of God as a loving, caring, involved and ever present comforter is particularly meaningful and healing for those who, like the author, have experienced abuse or neglect by their fathers, or who have suffered deep pain and loss while wondering where God was.  It has been said that the only way out is through, and the shack is the metaphor for the difficult place of being stuck,  the place we must visit, the door to go through on which the other side is…well, a much different life.
In the spirit of John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, and biblical parables that Jesus told, the story is true to truth.  As a hymn sings, “A mighty fortress is our God”, this author writes there is a Savior who longs to “gather her chicks under her wings” (Luke 13:34).  We believe the reading of this book will lead many from doubt to faith, and fear to love as they discover God is faithful and loving, and yes, even fun.  Remember, it’s fiction, not theology. You don’t have to agree with everything written in its pages, probably you won’t.  You may be surprised how you are impacted through this story.
Subjects touched on in this book include, pain, character of God, the Trinity, forgiveness, God speaking, evil, good, and justice.
On being asked if the story is real, Young replies,
“Is the story ‘real’?  The story is fiction.  I made it up.  Now, having said that, I will add that the emotional pain with all its intensity and the process that tears into Mack’s heart and soul are very real.  I have my ’shack’, the place I had to go through to find healing.  I have my Great Sadness…that is all real.  And the conversations are very real and true.  While Mack experiences some particulars that I have not …there are depths of pain and shame and hopelessness that I have experienced, that Mack did not.  And I know people who have suffered exactly what Mack suffers in the story.
So is the story true?  The pain, the loss, the grief, the process, the conversations, the questions, the anger, the longing, the secrets, the lies, the forgiveness…all real, all true.  The story in particular… fiction… but….  Then there is God who emerges so very real and true, unexpected and yet not unexpected, but surprising and…
 So… is all this real?  Is all this true?  I suppose each of us has to decide for ourselves, don’t we?”

You’ve been warned about middle-age spread. But no one told you about the squeeze.

You’re in the “Middle Ages”–sandwiched between the “greatest generation” and the “gimme” generations, busily juggling both with no relief in sight. Children are driving, and parents are not. Money is tight and so are your favorite jeans. And things that never ached before are beginning to give you trouble! For every baby boomer who wonders if it’s possible to navigate the Middle Ages with grace and style, Phil Callaway offers plenty of hope and a little hilarity, too. Because there’s nothing like a smile to make wrinkles less noticeable.

The author of Who Put My Life on Fast Forward? and Laughing Matters offers this lighthearted look at the challenges of the middle years — and promises that while we can’t slow down the aging process, we can ease the worries it brings by focusing on what really matters most.

Karma Wilson

In this charming and spirited retelling of Psalm 100:1 from celebrated children’s author Karma Wilson, youngsters observe a child discovering the fun and sheer joy of praising God. From birds singing and the church bells ringing to the lively worship service itself—where folks sing, clap, and shout, Hallelujah!—all creation seems to be joining together to celebrate God’s goodness in this full-color picture book. Composed entirely in delightful add-on verse, each page builds on the one before, adding ding dongs to tweet-a-tweets and hums to taps to claps, until the entire congregation shouts, “Let’s make a joyful noise to the Lord!” Even the quiet prayer, we learn, is a joyful noise. Pre readers will love helping with sound effects while early readers will be amused by each deft rhyme in this satisfying and entertaining book for kids ages four to eight.

This Double Feature Pack include 2 DVDs, Gigi, God's Little Princess (1) and Gigi's Hugest Announcement (2).

Gigi, God's Little Princess:
It's Gigi's birthday! As a princess, she knows exactly what she wants! But will her Mom and Dad pick up on her not-so-subtle hints about her desire to get the famed "Princess Pinky Star Castle"? Will this birthday be the one where she finally becomes a princess by owning her own castle? Join Gigi as she learns she really is a princess. But not because of the castle that she wants but because she is the daughter of the King!

Gigi's Hugest Announcement:
The Royal Tea Party finds Gigi with a dilemma. She has important news to share with her best friend, Frances, but how best to make such a grand announcement? This slice-of-life peek into the life of God's little princess reinforces the vital message that each child is royally important to God.

In The Pink Ballerina, Gigi and her best friend, Frances, take their first dance lesson after Gigi reads half of a verse in Psalms about praising God in dance. With reluctant practice and awkward help from Tiara (her new dog) and Lord Fluffy (her not-so-cooperative cat), Gigi struggles to dance perfectly to God proud of her.  Then Gigi learns that God looks at our hearts, not how perfectly we do things, and that God is proud of us when we are kind to others.

The Spiritual Journey of the Beatles from fun -loving agnostics to drug-inspired mystics was a microcosm of the pilgrimage taken by the generation.  Whether the Fab Four were pied pipers or simply the most high-profile participants in a massive cultural shirt, the changes they went through tell us a lot about what happened in the 1960s and therefore help us to understand where we are today.

Water for the thirsty, Rest for the Weary and a friend for the Lonely.  Three books in one, bringing you closer to the Savior.

Come Thirsty
God invites you t treat your thirsty soul as you would treat your physical thirst.  He says, "Whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty.  The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life" (John 4:14).  Just visit the well and drink deeply:  Receive Christ's work on the cross, the energy of His Spirit, Hi lordship over your life and his unending, unfailing love.

Traveling Light
Weary travelers.  You've seen them staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with everything they own crammed into their suitcases, duffel bags, and backpacks.  At times we are people like that-if not with our physical luggage then at least with our spiritual baggage of guilt, discontentment, anxiety, fear, perfectionism, and more.  The Twenty-third Psalm reminds us that God wants us to release these loads we were never intended to carry.

Next Door Savior
The Christ of the galaxies is the Christ of your Mondays.  The Starmaker manages your travel schedule.  The universe's Commander-in-Chief knows your name.  He has walked your streets.  There is no person he won't touch.  No place he won't go to find you.  Even though he is in heaven, he never left the neighborhood.  Near enough to touch.  Strong enough to trust.  A next door Savior.

Mennonite Jazz Committee

Mennonite Jazz Committee of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada consists of Nelson Boschman on keyboards (who also wrote the title track), Brian Thiessen on electric guitar (who also mixed the album), Mark Bender on double bass, Kenton Wiens on drums, and Steve Klassen on trumpet. Several members of the group also play regularly with other bands and as studio musicians. In addition, Thiessen is part of the Brian Doerksen worship band, Wiens performs with Laurell Hubick, and Boschman has his own jazz trio.

The name Mennonite Jazz Committee often brings a smile to people, especially those of the Mennonite persuasion, because Mennonites are known for forming committees to try and accomplish things. MJC is a committee that really gets down to business and gets something done.

In June (2005), House of James was the venue for an excellent concert by MJC.  "There's something quite amazing about this jazz combo - their musicianship is first class, their arrangements are imaginative and creative, and their camaraderie on stage brings joy to their audience."
--Lando Klassen, Owner of House of James

delirious?

An epic journey, through strange lands and familiar scenes – delirious? breaks out of the Kingdom of Comfort with 12 genuine tracks. They can never go back.

delirious? returns with its ninth studio album, ready to risk it all. From cancer to consumerism, five star dreams to slums, and poverty made personal, Kingdom of Comfort questions everything.

The first single is "We Give You Praise".

The result is their most risky, real, and compelling album to date – a collection of songs that act like catalysts more than lullabies, that spark fires and refine faith.

delirious? has set the scene – the rule book has gone, the energy is even higher, and the time is most definitely right for the most remarkable phase of the band's already remarkable career.

The album will include a sticker saying, “By purchasing this CD, you have become part of the solution,” because money from the album will be donated to a humanitarian project encountered by the band on one of their trips to India. 1CD = 1 DAY'S FOOD.

*Bonus:  2 FREE song downloads:  "Hallelujah" and "Mothers of the Night"

The Rubyz

What do you get when you combine the hot pop vocal stylings of three teenage girls with a powerful message of faith? Allow us to introduce The Rubyz.

The trio, consisting of Cammie Hall (16), Alexis Slifer (14), and Marissa Milele (13), is the brainchild of hit-maker Robert Beeson. Beeson is famed for having found such artists as Leeland, Joy Williams, Third Day, and Jars of Clay.

“Kids love catchy songs, but so much of what’s popular today focuses on meaningless, trivial things,” says Beeson. “The Rubyz are different in that their songs are not only engaging, but they contain messages of eternal value. Their music helps point kids back to what’s really important in life, and that’s Christ.”

The Rubyz' single "13" challenges teens to take the problems they face and turn them over to God when life gets too hard. Additionally, "Without You" is a song that emphasizes the decision to walk daily with Christ.

Produced by Chris Omartian (Hillary Duff, Pink, Jump5), The Rubyz is one gem certain to shine brightly with teens and parents alike.

The trio takes its name from Proverbs 31, a passage that extols the virtues of honorable women, whose price is "far greater than rubies."

Executive Producer Joy Williams recalls, “The concept of the Rubyz was an exciting one, and I was on board almost immediately… I remember growing up and wanting songs to sing along to, songs that resonated with me where I was at… in school, dealing with relationships, embracing faith, and realizing who I was in Christ. Because of my own journey, I’ve always had a heart for girls. And being on the road full-time for seven years only highlighted how hungry girls are all over the world for music that speaks to their real-life issues.” She goes on to add, “I am passionate about the Rubyz, about Marisa, Alexis, Cammie, and how this music could encourage girls everywhere.”

Sandra Drescher-Lehman

Drescher-Lehman gives language to the eternally long hours of being with babies, the holy moments which change exhaustion to exhilaration, the private fears, that sudden gratitude for one’s own mother. Attractive format; handy for daily use.

How does a new mom face the wonder and the wear that a baby brings? What happens to the woman she was? Is it normal to laugh and cry simultaneously?

Sandra Drescher-Lehman, in her disarmingly forthright way, gives language to the eternally long hours of being with babies, the holy moments that change exhaustion to exhilaration, the private fears, that sudden gratitude for one’s own mother.

Drescher-Lehman’s own hands and heart are deep in this subject. She is a writer mom to two preschoolers. Her voice is gritty, yet grateful. Her moods move through the range all mothers know. She brings comfort. She lends identification to this most basic, yet most personal, experience.

Each mediation is brief. Each suggests an idea or exercise that a preoccupied mom can carry throughout her day.

Sandra Drescher-Lehman

Writing in her spirited and frank way, Drescher-Lehman taps all those moments of ecstasy and utter dread which accompany expectant moms through their pregnancies. Each meditation is short and gritty and offers one suggestion for the reader’s day.

Written in her spirited and frank way, Drescher-Lehman taps all those moments of ecstasy and utter dread that accompany expectant moms through their pregnancies: “I feel like I’m a living, breathing, growing contradiction. I’m sick (literally) of being pregnant. I love being pregnant. I can’t wait to be a mother. I’m scared spitless of being a mother.”

Each meditation is short and gritty and offers one suggestion for the reader’s day. The book is an honest companion, full of comfort and delight.
