Of Knights and Fair Maidens - Jeff & Danielle Myers $13.50 | Hardcover | 122 pages | Grace and Truth Books OUR PRICE: $10.00 An old favorite, back in print in a new hardcover edition! This was one of our most requested Out of Print books for years - and now available again! Jeff and Danielle were determined to do things differently. So, before the era of "True Love Waits" or the writing of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, they interviewed married couples to discover the keys to a successful courtship. They applied these principles in their own relationship and later, wrote this humorous, heart-warming book. 15 years later, they have re-released an updated version of this classic, which has given tens of thousands of young couples honest and straightforward counsel about the best way to prepare for marriage. "Jeff and Danielle prove that God's plan for relationships is not out of date or old-fashioned - it's for the adventurous, courageous and most importantly, romantic Christian single who wants God's best in relationships and marriage." -- Joshua Harris, Senior Pastor, Covenant Life Church, Gaithersburg, MD and author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Boy Meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship.

The One True God - Paul David Washer $21.95 | Hardcover | 192 pages | Granted Ministries OUR PRICE: $16.50 A fresh study of the attributes of God by Paul Washer, in a unique type of workbook - intending to both teach the truth about God and to lead the reader to a deeper encounter with Him as the Living God of your life. A book that will solidly ground its reader in a Biblical understanding of the character of God. Students are encouraged to thoughtfully draw conclusions from the Scriptures rather than to merely absorb the principles, inferences, and illustrations set before them by the author. For this reason the book does not include such material and instead focuses on digesting the Scriptures directly. Through God's own words and under various systematic headings the book unfolds the nature of God. In this way the reader is set on a firm foundation and will readily perceive the centrality and high authority of biblical doctrine within the Christian life. It is the author's conviction that the study of doctrine is both an intellectual and devotional discipline. Therefore students are guided throughout the study to think through and apply the truths they learn, meditating on the demands of Scripture for their heart and mind. The book puts us squarely in the middle of the material, and demands we give searching thought to how we will live before such a God. The pages are wire-bound, but with a hardback cover wrapping around the entire book, even the spine. This keeps the book in good shape for a long time, and also provides for lay-open useability!

A Token For Children - James Janeway and Cotton Mather $18.00 | Hardcover | 169 pages | Soli Deo Gloria OUR PRICE: $13.50 Finally back in print in a new edition! The favorite childhood book of both Jonathan Edwards and David Brainerd, the reprinting of "A Token For Children" represents a major accomplishment in Puritan publishing. The most frequently recommended book to families in the 17th century than any other than the Bible itself. Though written hundreds of years ago, it's more applicable than ever in our 21st century, because our understanding of Christian experience is so shallow by comparison. Let the children of New England become your examples of depth in the knowledge of God! 23 stunningly rich testimony stories of children whose lives glorified God grace these pages. "Every modern Christian parent ought to buy and study this book before making it required reading for all his or her offspring." -- John Gerstner "Are the souls of your children of no value? They are not too little to die, they are not too little to go to hell, they are not too little to serve their great Master, nor too little to go to heaven!" -- James Janeway Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:

Ware $15.99 | Paperback | 240 pages | Crossway OUR PRICE: $13.50 An exceptional new book to equip parents to guide their young children through all the major doctrines of the Bible, in an understandable, chapter-a-day format. 54 chapters in all! Sure, it’s easy to teach your children the essentials of Christian theology when you’re a theology professor. But what about the rest of us?

Parents can teach their children the great truths of the faith and shape their worldviews early, based on these truths. The book covers ten topics of systematic theology, devoting several brief chapters to each subject, making it possible for parents to read one chapter per day with their children. With this non-intimidating format, parents will be emboldened to be their children’s primary faith trainers — and perhaps learn a few things themselves along the way.

For You They Signed: Character Studies from the Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence - Marilyn Boyer $49.95 | Hardcover | 393 pages | The Learning Parent OUR PRICE: $37.50 Deeply patriotic and passionate about America’s Christian history, Marilyn Boyer has given us a massive volume (9" x 11") which brings to life the stories of the 56 noble men who pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to secure our freedom. “More than 2,000 years ago, Nehemiah undertook the rebuilding of his nation. As part of the process, he constructed a “House of Heroes” by which those in his generation could learn of the courage and sacrifices made by previous ones. In writing For You They Signed, Marilyn has created a much-needed inspirational “House of Heroes” for this generation. -- David Barton, Wallbuilders "Not since B.J. Lossing’s 'Lives of the Signers' in 1848 has an historian so lovingly described the character and fortitude of the men who signed their names to the document that proclaimed independence from a tyrannical government. Mrs. Boyer has included a helpful study page and appropriate scriptures which make this book a handy teaching tool for learning the lives and lessons of the Founding Fathers. This is, in fact, one of those books that need to be in every family’s library, and parents would do well to insure that the next generation does not forget these men and the price they paid for our freedom.” -- Bill Potter, Historian, the Circa History Guild, Roswell, Georgia Click for Details & Reviews Quantity:
