She Deserves Better - Raising...

Sheila Wray Gregoire, Rebecca...

You want your daughter to thrive--to be strong, confident, and equipped to step into the life God has for her. 
 
But what if the church is setting your daughter up to be small? 
 
Armed with data from an all-new survey of over 7,000 women, She Deserves Better reveals how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today. The authors expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire and instead advocate biblically grounded, freeing messages that are more about the dos and less about the don'ts. 
 
By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a daughter who 
 
● has strong self-esteem and confidence 
● draws bold boundaries 
● makes smart choices 
● resists toxic teachings 
● clings tightly to Jesus 
 
Learn to raise your daughter as a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her. Because she deserves better than a faith that keeps her small.

The Essentials of Prayer -...

Edward M. Bounds

*** Premium Ebook with beautiful layout ***The men of olden times who wrought well in prayer, who brought the largest things to pass, who moved God to do great things, were those who were entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in man in answering his prayers. He must have whole-hearted men through whom to work out His purposes and plans concerning men. God must have men in their entirety. No double-minded man need apply. No vacillating man can be used. No man with a divided allegiance to God, and the world and self, can do the praying that is needed.In one word, the entire man without reservation must love God. So it takes the same entire man to do the praying which God requires of men. All the powers of man must be engaged in it. God cannot tolerate a divided heart in the love He requires of men, neither can He bear with a divided man in praying.

Prophetic Integrity - Aligning...

R. T. Kendall, Dr. Michael L. Brown

What happens when prophets are wrong?
In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president. Over thirty years before that, one the famous Kansas City Prophets, Paul Cain, prophesied that there would be a revival in London in 1990, which never came to pass. These examples make us wonder:What happens when prophets get it wrong?Are there consequences for misleading God's people?What would a genuine prophet look like today?And how can you tell a false prophet from a genuine one?
In recent years, misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God as well as moral failures within Evangelicalism have resulted in a crisis of belief. In Prophetic Integrity, bestselling author and speaker, R.T. Kendall gives a warning to those speaking in God's name and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of the church.
To unpack this difficult topic, Kendall, a self-described "Reformed charismatic," relates accounts of visions and supernatural experiences and shares stories and thoughts about Christian leaders that he knew personally, such as Paul Cain and Ravi Zacharias. He gives examples of good and bad prophecies and teaches a biblical and theologically-sound understanding of prophetic gifting and use.
Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets. It's a call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance; and it speaks to Christians of many different traditions, including Charismatic and Evangelical.
Discerning Christians of many different traditions can and must take both God's word and the gift of prophecy seriously and recognize how humans can abuse such gifts or use them to advance God's Kingdom.

Heaven's Doors - Wider Than You...

George W. Sarris

Exposing a 1,500-Year-Old Myth about Hell!  What happens to us after we die?  For the first 500 years after Christ, most Christians believed that God would ultimately redeem all of his creation. Hell was real, but it didn't last forever. Its purpose was to restore, not just to punish.  Then beliefs changed. For the past 1,500 years we’ve been told that most of the billions of people who have lived on this earth will remain separated from the love and mercy of God for all eternity. The moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, sons and daughters, relatives and friends who have not exhibited the “right kind” of faith here in this life will suffer in hell forever.  But is that really true?  The idea of hell as a place of never-ending suffering is not taught in the Bible, although most people think that it is. It’s a myth that was forced on the Christian Church by a power-hungry Roman emperor, was supported by a highly respected but misinformed cleric, and has endured for centuries because it became the status quo.  Heaven’s Doors exposes that myth. It explains both historically and Biblically how Jesus Christ succeeded in His mission to seek and save the lost. And it shows how the doors to heaven really are wider than you ever believed!
