Spiritual living in a secular world
0$7,61How do Christians live in a secular-even hostile-society without being squeezed into its mold? Should we withdraw from it? Should we try to reform it? Should we just give up and go along? We have some major opportunities to shine or shrivel. Based on the lives of Daniel and his friends-torn from their homes and forced into a hostile culture, but standing above rather than giving in. A timely call for Christians to engage our culture while demonstrating our kingdom citizenship.

The Call to Joy and Pain
0$10,99For the Christian, joy and pain are both integral parts of a life of service to God. This truth is clearly taught in the Bible and proved in Christian experience, both individual and corporate. The life of the churches outside the comfortable West reveals it with special clarity. The Call to Joy and Pain explores the connection between rejoicing and suffering, and shows how our distress draws us nearer to God and makes us more effective in ministry.
