Homosexuality has taken center stage in our nation, churches, and homes. Everyone knows or cares deeply for someone who experiences same-sex attraction, sexual confusion, or practices homosexuality. While the entire world talks about homosexuality, the subject remains taboo in many churches. The fear of being labeled as hateful, a bigot, or ignorant has kept many Christians out of the conversation. The church remains silent, leaving many people who love God confused about what the Bible really says about sexuality.

Did God make people gay? Does God love homosexuals? Will people have to deal with same-sex attraction their entire lives? Landon Schott brings truth and clarity to sexual confusion, using over 400 scripture references to reveal the heart of the Father and mind of Christ.

Gay Awareness exposes false teaching and deception that have created a false identity through the lens of sexuality instead of the eyes of God's Word. Gay Awareness will stretch you and challenge you, but with relentless love bring you comfort and healing.

A profound follow-up to the bestselling book and major motion picture, The Ultimate Gift. When Jason Stevens found out he had to jump through hoops to get an unnamed inheritance from his billionaire grandfather, he was not amused. By the time he'd finished learning the lessons, he'd become a different man. Ready to tackle the duties of running a multibillion-dollar trust, he is once again derailed, this time by his pugnacious family. Not content with their cattle ranches and oil fields, his aunts, uncles, and even his parents are determined to see every last dime entrusted to their own self-serving pockets. With none of the reluctance he initially showed for the gift, he eagerly accepts the challenge and pushes himself to prove, not only to his family and the court but also to the world, that with determination and the simple tenets of the gift, anyone can lead the ultimate life.

In an age of tourism, the great challenge is to see ourselves at a deeper level: the dimension of pilgrimage. Being a pilgrim might involve a journey to distant places associated with God-revealing events, but it has more to do with simply living day by day in a God-attentive way. Jim Forest's book assists the reader to see one's life as an opportunity for pilgrimage, whether in places as familiar as your living room or walking the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela. Drawing on the wisdom of the saints and his own wide-ranging travels, Forest leads us to a range of "thin places," including Iona, Jerusalem, the secret annex of Anne Frank, the experience of illness, the practice of hospitality, and other places and occasions where we may find ourselves surprised by grace.

Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman offers a rare and honest look at the destructive descent into adultery and reveals the redeeming power of God's grace and His ability to restore a ruined life. Author Lyndell Hetrick Holtz was a pastor's wife, Bible study leader, and retreat speaker who never believed she would commit adultery. She thought her involvement with ministry gave her extra protection from the temptation to have an affair. But, in her forties, her life began to crumble, and suddenly adultery seemed to be the solution for an unhappy life and marriage. With emotion and conviction, Lyndell reflects on the disillusionment and faulty beliefs that led to destructive decisions. She tells of the heartache and pain she experienced when her affair was discovered and the resulting consequences, including the loss of her 25 year marriage, her beautiful home, her witness in the community, her friends, and the respect of her four adult children. It seemed as if her life was over and her relationship with Christ forever ruined. But it was here, broken and sprawled in the dust of shame and defeat, where Lyndell encountered love unlike any she had ever known. With worship and humility, she shares how God lovingly embraced her shattered life and began to redeem, restore, and rebuild it in miraculous ways. Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman gives women a first-hand look at the destruction of adultery and provides the awareness needed to avoid assuming that Christian women are immune to adultery's snare. This powerful story examines the devastating effects of adultery, but more importantly, reveals a God who continues to write His story of redemption, restoration, and reconciliation on the broken lives of humanity, taking us, from utter despair to undying devotion to Him and the unconditional, healing love He gives.

A delightful call to a vibrant spirituality that celebrates the everyday elements of our physical lives, reminding us that our faith began and must continue as a way of life.

The faith of Jesus was once considered a distinctive way of life, rather than a complex theological system. Seeking to recover such a model, Pilgrim Heart re-imagines discipleship as a way of life guided by a set of simple daily practices known to the earliest disciples and the saints through the ages. Proven to transform lives for two thousand years, these practices include friendship, Sabbath rest, hospitality, confession, forgiveness, and storytellingall part of an in-the-world spirituality, one that embraces the God-given embodied human experience.

This is more than a book it is a blueprint of what God is saying during this hour. Bill Vincent is an anointed Prophetic writer that releases powerful fresh revelation in this book. In THE PROTOTYPE CHURCH you will be able to see into God s heart of a new type of Church coming forth. The body of believers not caught up in this new move is against it, criticizing it as dangerous phenomena and preaching dire warnings about control, manipulation, and mental ill health. Any one whom is a critic is criticizing the Holy Spirit in this move. It is easy to speak against something you don t fully understand. Listen you need to be open to what God wants to do. You have never seen such a level of power, grace, and holiness of God all at one time. The church is outgrowing itself month by month. Are you ready for miracles as commonplace; the amazing and incredible presence of God to be everywhere. The team that you are part of, which is caught up in the epicenter of all this activity, is the most profound experience that you have ever encountered. Of course, there are problems problems that often are huge and time-consuming. However, as you pray for wisdom, the anointing to move forward is so great that godly insight seems to spring into your conscious mind with ease. During the moving forward to becoming a prototype Church you will find oppositions. Every day brings a pressure cocktail of more people, more needs, greater opposition, further demonic attacks, fresh misunderstandings, calculated misinterpretations, added responsibilities, supplementary clerical problems to overcome, and extra requirements for advice, leadership, and ministry. Everything is strained to the limit of personal and physical ability. One thing that will surely cause a quicker finished Church is Revival. Revival seems to be concerned with endurance and stamina as much as it is preoccupied with anointing and empowerment. You are in the midst of constant attack and blessing; of tiredness, pressure, and opposition; of trying to keep everything going smoothly so that more people can be touched and reached; of not losing people to poor organization and mismanagement. You do not want this move to blow through society, touching thousands of lives, but not see church built at the end of it. Indeed, it shows no signs of tapering off! Are you getting excited about a new move of God? The need to develop leaders and train people to look after others, the need for more prayer, and the demand for more workers is huge. You are caught up in the whole wonderful and demanding, exhausting mix of a move of God. The implications and repercussions are going to hit everyone, hard. You don t need this pressure right now. We know you will enjoy this powerful book THE PROTOTYPE CHURCH."

Acts 2:16, 17 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith the Lord, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams: This book contains some of the dreams and visions and the understanding of them that the Holy Spirit has given me over the years. As you read PARABLES OF LIGHT my prayer is that it blesses and stirs you up to seek out what the Holy Spirit is saying to you in your dreams and vision in these last days. May God bless you on the quest. Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
