My Church Is Not Dying
$22.95
Evangelism for a world that hates evangelism, but needs the church
* The unfolding vision of a church stepping into the future, instead of dwelling
in the past
The old way of “being church”-measured by political influence, money, and congregants
in the pews-may indeed be vanishing, but it is being replaced by something new and
beautiful for those with the eyes, ears, heart, and soul to experience it.
Prolific author Greg Garrett reminds Episcopalians of the many gifts that our tradition
can offer a doubting and hurting world. He reveals a church that values intellect, beauty,
diversity, and community, and promotes thoughtful engagement with questions of faith,
ethics, and community. This church espouses a generous orthodoxy, welcoming left
and right, mystic and doubter. It values education, social justice, and engagement with
literature and culture. And in opposition to the radical individualism espoused by most of
American Protestantism, it offers the unique gift of a tradition shaped by English culture
that believes the individual is a part of her or his community-not in opposition to it.
For members of the Episcopal Church, laypeople seeking a deeper understanding of
faith and the Episcopal/Anglican tradition, and seekers wondering about a way of being
Christian that isn’t dogmatic, doesn’t offer judgment or divorce them from the beauty they
already sense in their lives.

Streams In The Desert Updated Edition
$15.99In a barren wilderness, L. B. Cowman long ago discovered a fountain that sustained her, and she shared it with the world, Streams in the Desert — her collection of prayerful meditations, Christian writings, and God’s written promises–has become one of the most dearly loved, best-selling devotionals of all time since its first publication in 1925. Filled with insight into the richness of God’s provision and the purpose of His plan, this enduring classic has encouraged and inspired generations of Christians. I heard the flow of hidden springs; before me palms rose green and fair; The birds were singing; all the air was filled and stirred with angels’ wings. Now James Reimann, editor of the highly acclaimed updated edition of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers, again brings us the wisdom of the past in the language of today, by introducing this updated edition of Streams in the Desert. With fresh, contemporary wording and precise NIV text, the timeless message of the original flows unhindered through these pages, lending guidance and hope to a new generation of believers. We never know where God has hidden His streams. We see a large stone and have no idea that it covers the source of a spring. We see a rocky areas and never imagine that it is hiding a fountain. God leads me into hard and difficult places, and it is there I realize I am where eternal streams abide. Day by day, Streams in the Desert will lead you from life’s dry desolate places to the waters of the River of Life — and beyond, to their very Source.
