Book Description
As believers, our walk with God is motivated by hope-not the bland, vague notion most people have, but the expectation of an exotic, pleasurable inheritance that guides us and fires our passion...or, at least, should. Ted Dekker has written an exposé on the death of pleasure within the Church. Because many of us have set aside hope and the inspired imagination that drives it, Dekker says we have been lulled into a slumber of boredom, even despondency. Our faith wanes, the joy at having been liberated fades, and we feel powerless. The Slumber of Christianity explores what robs us of happiness and how we can rediscover it and live lives that rekindle hope. The pursuit of pleasure is a gift to all humans-a function of the Creator himself, who is bent upon our happiness. It's time for Christians to reclaim our inheritance of pleasure. The Slumber of Christianity will inflame hearts toward full-fledged, mind-expanding encounters with hope, through the imagination.

Book Description
The Church has been lulled to sleep for generations by the tickling of her ears, with the masterful strokes of watered down doctrines that are powerless to change anything or anyone! The Church must arise in this critical hour and pursue uprightness. Thousands are leaving the Church daily. The Church has a divorce rate that rivals the world! Scores of souls are wandering around lost, dying and undone with nowhere to turn! Where are the true leaders of our day? When will they show up, step forth and put all things back into the control of our Master-Yeshua (Jesus)? We must prepare ourselves for the return of The King of Kings. The Church is not ready for that Great and Dreadful Day! Walk through the pages of this message with Tammy, a ten-year journey of gaining understanding from our Fathers perspective as to why the Church today lacks the luster and the power of her former self, and how we are to get it back!

Book Description
Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) had a mission—reintroduce the Christian faith to Christians. Mark Tietjen thinks that Kierkegaard's critique of his contemporaries strikes close to home today. Through an examination of core Christian doctrines, he helps us hear Kierkegaard's missionary message to a church that often fails to follow Christ with purity of heart.

Book Description
Waking the Dead—newly revised and updated for these trying times—reveals the secret of finding a full life, identifying the fierce battle over our hearts, and embracing all that God has in store. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself. Jesus touched people, and they changed: the blind had sight, the lame walked, the deaf heard, the dead were raised. To be touched by God, in other words, is to be restored, to be made into all God means us to be. That is what Christianity promises to do—make us whole, set us free, bring us fully alive.

(Ephesians 6:12, MEV). Satan tries to induce spiritual slumber in the lives of Christians but by the grace of God we can remain alert. The Bible says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8, MEV).

Book Description
To be asleep is to be oblivious to being oblivious. The danger of sleep is the danger of carbon monoxide: it's colorless and odorless, and you're anesthetized before you know it--before you ever hit the floor. And for the follower of Jesus, it's just as dangerous--because the Christian who is "asleep" is spiritually unreceptive. If anything will be our undoing, sleep will. In this thoughtful, engaging, challenging book, Rick James dives deep into the New Testament's teachings on spiritual wakefulness, calling Christ-followers to defy the darkness and remain awake as they await Christ's return. Because being awake--continually in prayer, watchful for God's will, expectant of open doors, cautious of sin, desiring to serve, eager to repent, continuously giving thanks, willing to witness, embracing of humility, overflowing with kindness, persevering in obedience--changes everything.
