Of Knights and Fair Maidens by 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.

Already Gone: Why your Kids will quit Church and what you can do to Stop it by Ken Ham, Britt Beimer $12.99 | Paperback | 189 pages | Master Books OUR PRICE: $10.00 Nationwide polls and denominational reports are showing that the next generation is calling it quits on the traditional church. What are the factors causing this? Ken Ham from Answers in Genesis and Britt Beemer from America’s Research Group worked together to find out. In the first scientific study of its kind, Beemer surveyed a thousand 20-30 year olds who used to go to Evangelical churches on a regular basis but have since left it behind. The results are fascinating at many points, such as: * Those who faithfully attended Sunday school are more likely to leave the church than those who do not. * Those who regularly attended Sunday school are more likely to believe that the Bible is less true. * Over half of those who faithfully attended church feel that church is not relevant to real life today. A vast disconnect is taking place between our children and their church experience. The trends are troubling; this book, Already Gone shows how to fight back for our families and our churches.
