With frustrated resignation, Doug turns his attention to building a new life and a new home for himself and interior designer, Cassandra Grayson. The conflict erupts as Mark is preparing to leave for the mission field in Kenya. He delivers an ultimatum, cutting off all contact between his kids and their grandfather. God may have ripped away his wife and his son, but Doug draws the line at his grandchildren.

Emperor Constantine and His Influence on the Course of Christianity by Rhys Gronow

21 pages, 2 of 4 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled

It is largely agreed that Constantine had a dramatic effect on the development of Christianity, that he undeniably altered its future, identity and DNA.

Constantine took a significant interest in the Christian faith and its church, deciding to become very involved in establishing the church within his empire; but why? What was Constantine’s motivation for doing so?

Was Constantine God’s agent on a mission to deliver the early Church from fierce persecution? Was one of his greatest achievements that he helped to establish a foundation for Christianity and its message to be heard around the world?

Or was he a pagan who used the gospel for his own ends and led the Church into a compromised condition that would last for centuries?

Chloe by Cleveland McLeish

246 pages, 1 of 1 reviews is 4-star, Lending Enabled

When Chloe Cleopatra Taylor accepts Jesus Christ as her lord and savior, the last thing she expects is to start seeing her dead father. Patrick Taylor supposedly perished in a car accident on the way to the hospital the day she was born. Her own mother, Cleopatra, told her so. But Chloe can’t ask her mother about it. When they talk, all they do is fight.

Cleopatra’s affections are reserved for her cigarettes, booze, and abusive boyfriends. Cleopatra drinks to drown sorrows Chloe can’t fathom. Chloe has no idea that she could be the product of a nightmare or that her mother is trying to cope with a lifetime of unforgivable mistakes. Their relationship is a train wreck, but Cleopatra is still her mother.

Chloe has a lot on her plate. Between avoiding her crotchety boss, balancing her new found faith, achieving her dream of being an author, and trying to fend off the affections of the persistent James Jones, she hardly has time to sleep, let alone solve the mystery of her “undead” father. But she doesn’t have a choice. Strange things start happening to Chloe, and Patrick appears to be the culprit behind them. She wakes up without remembering going to sleep. She finds herself in places and does not recall how she got there. She can’t dream and she can’t die.

Things don’t add up… but Chloe seems to be the only one who recognizes that.

The deeper Chloe delves for information, the less clear things become. With James close by, Chloe embarks on a journey of self-discovery. In the end, Chloe finds that she and her mother have more in common than they realize.

The Quilt by T Davis Bunn

128 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 4-star, Lending Enabled

A Truly Beautiful Story That Transcends Time and Place

The Quilt is the story of Mary, an elderly grandmother whose gnarled, arthritic hands have a beauty all their own. They represent so many skills, so many memories, so many stories to be told. Anyone who had met Mary described her as beautiful–she had always been there to listen and comfort and encourage those who were in pain, those who had lost their way. And yet in the twilight of her days, Mary felt a gentle yearning in her heart, the whisper of a melody she strained to hear…. There was something left undone.When Mary becomes convinced that the task still unfinished is to make one more very special quilt, with every stitch sewn in prayer and thankfulness, the impact on her family and the surrounding community cannot be contained. No one who gets involved with this quilting project will ever be quite the same again!

Sincerely, Jesus by Edward Goble

144 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Lending Enabled

Can you imagine thumbing through your daily mail and finding a letter from Jesus Christ? Not a prank, not a hoax, but the genuine article – a letter from heaven, from the risen Lord, written personally to you and your church. If hearing from God sounds intriguing, then this little book is for you. Several decades after His death, burial, resurrection and ascension, Jesus revealed Himself, in a vision from heaven, to the apostle John. Jesus directed John to write as He dictated seven letters to seven communities of faith scattered around Asia Minor. These personal notes are found in Revelation chapters two and three. In Sincerely, Jesus we will look at the amazing relevance each letter holds for life in the twenty-first century. All Jesus asks of us is to read with a listening heart and a willingness to make the adjustments, both in our personal lives, and in our churches, that the Holy Spirit prescribes.

Wisdom is a Heart Thing by BL Landis

144 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled, Previously Free 

Where are the wise? In this world now saturated with learning, technology and communication are we getting any wiser? Are the graduates of high schools and colleges armed with wisdom when they leave? Knowledge is not the same as wisdom. People are ravenous information seekers, but where is the life changing wisdom? Education and technology don’t seem to quell the erosion of the moral fabric of our society or fill the hungers within mankind. In the Christian world you might hear that Christ is the answer, but how? How is Christ the answer? He is the answer because He is God’s wisdom to man. True wisdom is found in Him and accessed through Him.

We find Jesus introduced as the Savior or the Messiah. He is called the Lamb of God, or the Son of God. Around the Holidays He is presented as the Prince of Peace or Wonderful Counselor. These and many others are all correct portrayals of Him, but there is one more that you don’t hear as often. He is also Wisdom. God’s wisdom is where the power lies to change lives and circumstances.

Jesus Christ is the channel for this powerful, amazing, healing and life changing wisdom to come into our lives and impact our world. Wisdom is a heart thing and Jesus Christ is the pathway to it.

Love, Not Otherwise Classified: Tested for Life by Grace Marie Lohng

160 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 4-star, Lending Enabled

Any Christian that wants to grow in their faith, should find this book Inspirational. However, those that have been Persecuted for their Faith, been a victim of Abuse or Domestic Violence, or battled Depression, will readily identify with this most unusual story of a woman born in poverty to a mentally ill mother, who overcame constant adversity to become a Missionary and travel to more than Ten Countries. SHE OFTEN USES HUMOR TO TELL OF HER STRUGGLES, IN THIS EASY-TO-READ, FAST-PACED BOOK.

The book consists of the Memoir and a 30 Page Supplemental Self-Help Section (available only in the Paperback Edition), which provides Step by Step Guidance for Persons suffering or recovering from Abusive situations of all types including Mental Illness. (The 6 x 9 size with crisp formatting, makes an appropriate gift book for someone that you know needs the information, but is not likely to buy the book for themselves.)

Nearly suffering the ultimate price for her Faith in the mission field, the author struggled to understand a God whose Love allows suffering.

While the book is very religious, even non-Christian’s can take something away from it, as this is about a real life – not just Christian rhetoric that sometimes denies the harsh realities of our modern world.

Who is Jesus by RC Sproul

109 pages, 5 of 5 reviews are 4 or 5-star

Can I Trust The Bible by RC Sproul

65 pages, 6 of 6 reviews are 4 or 5-star

There is a common assumption that the Bible is full of errors and contradictions, and that its often-unusual people and events render it useless for today. These ideas are fueled by the teachings of scholarly critics, who seem to delight in raising questions about the Bible s truthfulness and integrity.

But the critics of the Bible are wrong, according to Dr. R. C. Sproul in this Crucial Questions booklet. In fact, he says, there are many solid reasons to trust the Bible. With Jesus, with the apostles and prophets, and with men of God throughout church history, Dr. Sproul affirms a high view of Scripture–that it is inspired of God and therefore inerrant and infallible.

Does Prayer Change Things by RC Sproul

88 pages, 9 of 9 reviews are 5-star, Previously Free 

Does prayer make any difference? Does it really change anything? Yes, says Dr. R. C. Sproul in this Crucial Questions booklet. Though we cannot hope that our prayers will change God’s mind, prevailing upon Him to act against His will, we can be sure that prayer does change things including our own hearts. Plus, it is one of the chief means by which God carries out His will in the world.

For these reasons, Dr. Sproul argues, prayer has a vital place in the life of the Christian. In short chapters packed with practical wisdom, he unveils the purpose, the pattern, the practice, the prohibitions, and the power of prayer, calling Christians to come before God’s presence with joy and hope.

Can I Know God’s Will? By RC Sproul

102 pages, 7 of 8 reviews are 5-star, Previously Free 

As human beings, we long to know that our lives will unfold in ways that we will find pleasant and rewarding. As Christians, we have a different focus-we want our lives to be pleasing to God. Thus, we ponder His will and worry that we are not doing what He wants us to do.

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R. C. Sproul outlines timeless principles for discovering and applying the will of God in day-to-day decisions. He then illustrates how these principles should inform two of the most significant decisions we face in life–the choice of a career and the choice of a spouse. Here is valuable guidance for those who are passionate to follow God.

How Should I Live in This World? by RC Sproul

99 pages, 4 of 4 reviews are 4 or 5-star

Christians want to do the right thing. But it can be tough to know what the right thing is. Plus, it’s not just the big questions with which we must wrestle ethical dilemmas confront us each day in every aspect of life. On what basis do we make all of these decisions?

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R. C. Sproul argues that the Bible is the supreme source for ethical guidance. That doesn’t mean it contains a Thou shalt . . . or a Thou shalt not . . . for every conceivable situation, but it does provide ethical principles. With his trademark wisdom and thoroughness, Dr. Sproul explains how we can uncover and apply these principles.

What Does it Mean to be Born Again? by RC Sproul

69 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 5-star

When Jesus explained the necessity of the new birth, the Jewish leader Nicodemus asked in astonishment, how can these things be? Some two thousand years later, much confusion still surrounds the term born again, though more people than ever people claim to have had the experience.

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul cuts through the confusion and carefully explains what it means, biblically and theologically, to be born again. He affirms, first of all, that Jesus wasn’t kidding new birth is essential then goes on to show what the new birth is and how it occurs. His clear teaching will provide understanding for those who are unfamiliar with the new birth and deeper assurance for those who may not know where they stand with God.

Can I Be Sure I am Saved? by RC Sproul

73 pages, 5 of 5 reviews are 4 or 5-star, Previously Free 

Many people in the church today are plagued by doubts about their salvation. Satan whispers that it is impossible that sinners such as they could be in a state of grace, and some churches compound the problem by teaching that it is possible for believers to lose their salvation.

But assurance of salvation is possible in this life. Indeed, as Dr. R.C. Sproul argues in this Crucial Questions booklet, it is the duty of Christians to make their calling sure (2 Peter 1:10). To help believers reach this goal, Dr. Sproul defines assurance, shows how we can get it, reveals the blessings it confers, and warns of the dangers of false assurance. Here is assistance for those who struggle to know where they stand with Jesus Christ.

What is Faith? by RC Sproul

67 pages, 2 of 2 reviews are 5-star

The word faith is heard often these days, but it is given many different meanings. Sometimes it is used in the sense of trust. Other times, it has more to do with hope. Perhaps most often, it is used to mean belief in something apart from rational or empirical support.

Because faith is central to the Christian life, believers must have a clear understanding of how the Bible defines the word and the concept. In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R. C. Sproul looks to Hebrews 11, the great faith chapter of the Bible, for a definition of faith and numerous examples of it in the lives of the saints. He shows that faith, in scriptural terms, is not believing in God but believing God and living according to His Word. Armed with this helpful teaching, readers will gain clarity as to whether the faith they profess is the genuine article.

What Can I Do With My Guilt? by RC Sproul

74 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 5-star, Previously Free 

What Is The Trinity? By RC Sproul

74 pages, 5 of 5 reviews are 5-star

The Trinity is truly a mystery. This doctrine teaches that the God of Christianity is one in His essence but three in His persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the word Trinity is not found in the Bible, there is no doubt that the Scriptures teach this triune nature of God. Yet the concept still challenges our finite minds.

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul carefully explains the doctrine of the Trinity, stressing that Christians worship one God who manifests Himself in three distinct persons. He shows what the Bible teaches and outlines the chief errors on this doctrine that have afflicted the church. Above all, he affirms that while this truth is difficult to understand, it is not contradictory. Rather, it is a beautiful expression of the biblical teaching on the nature of God.

What is Baptism? by RC Sproul

70 pages, 3 of 3 reviews are 4 or 5-star

Baptism is taught in the Bible and has been practiced for centuries, but understanding of its meaning and respect for its importance is at a low ebb today. Confusion reigns over questions about its mode and its place in the life of the Christian, and as a result, even many evangelical congregations are downplaying its significance.

This is not the way it should be, Dr. R. C. Sproul declares in this Crucial Questions booklet. Baptism, he affirms, is one of the two sacraments of the Christian church, a sign and seal of the covenant of grace. Therefore, it is a necessary and meaningful practice that is packed with rich symbolism. In this booklet, Dr. Sproul provides help in understanding and appreciating this practice of the church.

Can I Have Joy in My Life? by RC Sproul

66 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 4 or 5-star

Joy is a popular topic in Western culture today. Books explain how to find joy in a wide variety of activities. We speak of “joyous” occasions such as weddings and births. We sing about “Joy to the World” at Christmas. “Joy” remains a popular name for girls. But given the extent to which joy seems to be on our minds, few people seem to have it or even know what it is.

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul cuts through the confusion surrounding this popular but misunderstood attribute, showing the one sure path to deep, lasting joy—a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. By abiding in Christ, Dr. Sproul shows, we may experience fullness of joy—a joy that transcends unhappy circumstances and even permits us to rejoice with others because of the blessed hope Christ provides.

Who Is The Holy Spirit? by RC Sproul

82 pages, 1 of 2 reviews are 5-star

The topic of the Holy Spirit sparks much interest these days, but also much confusion. Thanks to extra-biblical assertions about the Spirit’s person and work, ideas abound as to who the Spirit truly is, how He operates in time and space, and what precisely He does.

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul cuts through the confusion by going back to the Bible. He establishes the biblical teaching on the Spirit’s identity—He is one of the three persons of the Godhead, along with the Father and Son—then briefly sketches some of the most basic yet important roles the Spirit carries out. He shows that the Spirit gives new life to unbelievers, then sanctifies, strengthens, teaches, and anoints them for ministry. This booklet provides a basic understanding of the divine person on whom Christians’ very lives depend.

Does God Control Everything by RC Sproul

82 pages, 2 of 2 reviews are 5-star

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul explores and explains the Christian doctrine of providence, the teaching that God is the sovereign ruler of the universe. He then deals with some of the philosophical and theological questions and objections the doctrine raises. His teaching challenges popular assumptions about the universe and exalts God as the sovereign ruler and sustainer of all things.
