A Legacy of Kings…Israel’s Chequered History by Brian Johnston
71 pages, no reviews, Lending Enabled
Apart from the most famous kings, such as David and Solomon, many of the rest of the kings of the Old Testament have faded into obscurity – the life-lessons that can be applied to the lives of Christians are often over-looked as a result.
Bible teacher, missionary and radio broadcaster, Brian Johnston rectifies this by bringing twelve of these kings back into the spotlight. You’ll encounter good kings, bad kings, good kings that went bad and bad kings that came good! All of them, though, have something important to teach and challenge us as we look to serve the great and faultless King Himself – Jesus Christ.
If Jotham, Rehoboam, Hezekiah, Manasseh and the rest have become strangers to you – why not get reacquainted?

Breaking the Mold: Confessions of a Hippie Ex-Pastor by Charles McGarry
43 pages, no reviews, Lending Enabled
All of us are placed into a mold from the moment we are conceived. That mold contains expectations, assumptions, and inhibitions that make us feels secure, hindered, or both. Contained within these pages is a journey. It is a journey of pain and joy, of self discovery, of freedom, and of hope. These are the musings of a rather unconventional fellow who is coming to terms with what lies outside the mold of tradition and legalism. On the surface these musings are simply opinions, but deep down they are similar to the silent cry of many who are afraid to be honest about themselves, and to break free from their own unhealthy mold. These things are written with the hope that all who read them might embrace the freedom to be honest about who they are, and who they were designed to be by a loving God. In his debut book, Charles talks frankly about his journey of discovery, with the desire that others will be able to experience that same freedom in their own personal journey with God.
The Path to Joy by Tim Hansasford
226 pages, no reviews, Lending Enabled
I had a great job, wife and friends. Yet I was suffused with discontentment; and for me the American dream, rather than liberating me, was suffocating. The answer was not in visiting a therapist, changing my job or wife, visiting a Himalayan cave, or circumnavigating the globe. It was in a powerful inner journey, and exploration of my relationship with God. It was an adventure in revisiting the pains and pleasures of childhood, understanding how these influenced my understanding of God; moving closer to the Great Spirit, and finally calling on his limitless power in my life. Everything in the pages that follow is true. This is not a religious book, as the God I refer to is simply my understanding of a higher power – it need not be yours. You might call him God, Buddha Allah, or whatever you so wish. This book is written to help you get closer to him. I ask only that you keep an open mind. Stay and laugh and reminisce with me over my childhood, then join me in the challenging exploration of my defects of character – those roadblocks to serenity and joy. I cannot promise you that this book will make you a saint, but I can promise that if you follow the suggestions contained within that your life will change. Let us begin this exciting journey together.

On the Precipice by Chris Hambleton

Is the Spirit of America dying? Many have grown increasingly aware of this possibility since the Great Recession began, but few want to admit it. Today, America is deeply divided and filled with uncertainty, and a palpable sense of malaise has settled over her people. Could it really be that America’s best days are behind her?
We Americans used to be proud of our nation, and certain of who we were as a people. The general feeling that America was a moral and decent country was pervasive throughout the nation, if not much of the world. We proudly flew Old Glory and without reservation proclaimed that the United States of America was the greatest nation on earth.
But today that seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Now we have brief, fleeting episodes of pride in our nation around the holidays or when we hear stories of our soldiers and their bravery. But the general feeling of pride in who we are as Americans and what we stand for is fading, and no one seems to know how to get it back.
Early in America’s history, Alexander de Tocqueville wrote, “America is great because Americans are good.” If America’s greatness is fading, could it be that something has happened to her people’s goodness? And if America is in permanent decline, will we accept that fate without a fight?
In 755 BC, the prophet Hosea was called to deliver a message to another nation in decline, the Northern Kingdom of Israel. But what would Hosea say if he had been sent to modern-day America instead? And if he had been sent to us instead of Israel, would we be receptive to his message or scorn him as Israel once did?
Are we prepared to honestly look at what has happened – and what is happening – to our country? Are we prepared to examine the heart of our beloved nation and diagnose the disease that is threatening to take her very life?
