The Poems of Anne Bradstreet
$11.50A real sense of calm pervades Bradstreet’s poetry. She has genuine affection for the things she writes about, whether that be family, or the vistas of nature, or her husband, or the “pleasant things” lost in the house fire, and so in no way does she come across as a pinched ascetic. But neither does she come across as someone who is in frantic pursuit of worldly goods.
Anne Bradstreet came to fame when someone published her poetry as The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America. Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who had crossed the ocean to help found the new colony in America. She lived on the frontier and lived a fairly uneventful life loving her husband and children. However, she was also a well-educated and imaginative woman whose poetry continues to be admired to this day. This collection of her poems is a forgotten classic that we would be well advised to read.

Intentional Parenting: Family Discipleship by Design (Tad Thompson)
$6.95Here’s a unique book, designed to help you take the sermons, teachings, books and other sources from which you’ve been learning, and turn it into something you can make sense of applying in your home. Meaning, this is not another book of tactics and techniques for Christian parenting. Rather, it’s a book of strategies for parents who want to be intentional about discipleship in the home.
Pastor Tad Thompson has assembled a biblical approach to effective family discipleship that anyone can understand. Using the analogy of a house, he encourages us to look into the mirror and expose the need of our own hearts to be mature and to help our children grow to maturity, not satisfied merely with what we can see.

The Holy War: The Battle for Mansoul (John Bunyan)
$16.95The most beautiful edition of Bunyan’s The Holy War we have ever seen! A large hardcover edition, filled with delightful old pen and ink sketches and drawings.
The story: Righteous and honorable King Shaddai and His Son Immanuel are the kind rulers the city of Mansoul, always directing the lives of the city with justice and equity. But the ruler of darkness – Prince Diabolus – has his own plans for the city. With the assistance of his evil captains, he plots the destruction of the once happy town.
The first to fall to his deceptions is Captain Resistance, so that Mansoul is now open to Diabolus’ wicked lies about their king. Diabolus knows that he may only possess Mansoul if the people open the gates to him by their own choice; and soon, sadly, through the vantage point of Eargate, the inhabitants believe his lies and the city falls. So begins this story of treachery and deceit, foolishness and pride, but forgiveness and final redemption. The fact is, as Bunyan intended it, this is the story of a sinner saved by the grace of God.

The Bible Story Handbook (John Walton, Kim Walton)
$23.99“For too long, Christians have been taught Bible stories as stand-alone episodes that provide moral instruction and encouragement based on imitating human characters in the stories. John and Kim Walton provide welcome correction!
The opening chapters show us the real reason for teaching Bible stories—the revelation of God himself—and the big picture of the Bible, into which all the individual stories must fit. Not only teachers of children but anyone who uses Bible stories to teach others should examine his or her use of narrative passages by the guidelines in this book.”

When Sinners Say “I Do” (Dave Harvey)
$13.50Marriage is the union of two people who arrive at the altar toting some surprisingly large luggage. Often it gets opened right there on the honeymoon, sometimes it waits for the week after. The Bible calls it sin and understanding its influence can make all the difference for a man and a woman who are building a life together.
Dave’s writing embraces the reader with humor and honesty as he speaks about sin and the power of the gospel to overcome it. He opens the delightful truth of God’s word and encourages the reader to see more clearly the glorious picture of what God does when sinners say “I do.”

God Made All of Me (Justin & Lindsey Holcomb)
$13.59A Book to Help Children Protect Their Bodies
God made every part of you!
It’s an easy mistake, to convey the message to children that their bodies — or particular parts of their bodies — are shameful. This misconception fuels confusion, embarrassment, and secrecy, and often prevents children from recognizing or reporting sexual abuse.
God Made All of Me is a simply-told, beautifully-illustrated story to help families talk about these sensitive issues with 2 to 8 year-old children. Because the private parts of our bodies are private, the home is the ideal environment where a child should learn about his or her body and how it should be treated by others.

Communication and Conflict Resolution: A Biblical Perspective (Stuart Scott)
$3.95Communication and solving conflicts are two major hurdles in any marriage. Doing these biblically must be the resolve of both husband and wife. If you won’t honor God in these areas, count on misery and trouble.
It starts with humility: I may not be right. It also starts with desiring to please God more than self. God considers most conflict a grievous thing that He wants His children to have no part in it. Strife generally arises from selfishness. This booklet has arisen from over 2 decades of experience in counseling families.

Love That Lasts: When Marriage Meets Grace (Gary & Betsy Ricucci)
$13.50Marriage is a profound and marvelous mystery established by God for his glory-and that is for our good. So many marital relationships never reach their greatest potential because they have the fatal limitation of being focused on one another. When our focus is solely on God, our marriages have the potential to thrive and not merely survive.

The Christian Lover: The Sweetness of Love and Marriage in the Letters of Believers (Michael A. G. Haykin)
$11.50“Reading expressions of love from the past can be a helpful way of responding to the fragility of Christian marriage in our day”, writes Michael Haykin. So he shows us letters from husband and wife, in twelve well-known families of church history.
These include Martin Luther (writing his wife Katie), John Calvin (expressing to friends his grief over the death of his wife Idelette). Lesser-known writers include Helmuth von Moltke, who wrote to his wife as he faced execution at the hands of the Nazis in 1945.
The contents range from courtship communications to proposals of marriage to final words before dying, but most are about events of everyday life. Dr. Haykin, professor of church history and biblical spirituality at Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville, KY, provides an introduction to each set of letters and draws practical applications for us. In all, The Christian Lover is a celebration of marriage, an intimate window into the thoughts of men and women in love with God and one another.
