“Beyond the Edge of the Water” brings readers back to the biblical model of discipleship. Steven Kozak paints a vivid picture of the current cultural context and why efforts to make disciples is largely failing. Then he takes the reader through various passages in Scripture and brings to light aspects of following Jesus that have been neglected or forgotten.

Through real-life examples and his own story, Kozak shows that Jesus’ model is not only doable but necessary in the twenty-first century western world.

Should the church get involved in politics or influence their voting members? What is the church mandate on this issue? How should Christians project themselves? Many Christians are wondering how to respond to the confusion generated by the variety of candidates for public office and the differing perspectives of church leaders who are trying to evaluate the political picture. This book, first offered in French, offers guidelines to assist Christians in determining how best to participate in the political arena as citizens who have a dual citizenship: in heaven and in the country of their residence.

At issue is not with whom we compete, but what course we take and how we finish.

It is the race of life — The Great Human Race

Knute Larson writes candidly and honestly about running in the marathon of life. He knows it’s not easy. As a runner himself, Larson uses the imagery of running and compares it to life and personal discipline.

Finding courage one step at a time —

Toward the right finish.

Knute Larson runs in his everyday life, but he also knows the significance of the marathon of life. As a pastor for 43 years and a church coach for eight, he understands the many choices and mistakes that go into training for, then running, a marathon of either kind. This book contains a conversation between Larson and readers about how to run their best race – the great human race.  

The book explains how setting financial maximums on our lifestyle can be used as a method of generating additional free cash available to use to donate to church, missions, and/or help our families and the poor.

Living utilizing maximums is setting limits on how we will live our financial lives so we are increasingly more generous as our income increases. Other authors have mentioned this concept, setting limits, but most do not outline how such a lifestyle is possible and what maximums could mean to generosity. This book does this. It explains how maximums can be implemented and how this could affect giving over a lifetime.

While this book is relevant to all Christians, it has special significance to college students and younger Christians who are developing their theological understanding of money and deciding how they will spend God’s money during their life.

In To Each is Given: Spiritual Gifts in the Life of the Local Church, Clothier seeks to define signs and wonders and spiritual gifts, then carefully considers how they relate to one another, and considers whether each is for the church today.

Much like the previous interdisciplinary commentary by Tiberius Rata and Kevin Roberts, Fear God and Keep His Commandments: A Practical Exposition of
Ecclesiastes, Sacred Wisdom is written for thoughtful students of the Bible who
want theological and psychological perspectives on a much beloved book of the
Old Testament. Well-respected long-time pastor, Knute Larson, joins Rata and
Roberts to provide a pastoral viewpoint on the words of Proverbs.

The charming little village of Winona Lake, Ind., is once again a tourist destination as lovers of art, culture, education, and good food come to experience life at the little artisan village nestled on the eastern shore of Winona (formerly Eagle) Lake in north-central Indiana.

Winona is currently in its third wave of development and popularity. In its first wave—beginning in 1881 and culminating in Spring Fountain Park and the religious Chautauqua programs that drew thousands for its rich offerings in the early 1900s. Then, after a period of decline, the town revived for its second-wave popularity as the home of the world’s largest Bible conference, the founding place of Youth for Christ, the launching pad for Billy Graham’s ministry, the home of baseball evangelist Billy Sunday and his songleader/publisher Homer Rodeheaver and much more.

Now, in its third-wave rising, Winona is once again a beehive of activity through Grace College and Seminary, cultural festivals, the emergence of the Village at Winona with its many shops, programs, world-class restaurants, and more.

Enjoy the history—and some little-known anecdotes—from two who have lived in, and loved, Winona Lake for many years. This centennial history celebrates the unique town that was incorporated on June 2, 1913, and has had worldwide impact.

It is a drama that finds its climax in Satan’s defeat and the triumph of the third prince, Jesus Christ, who became a man in order to win back what the first man had lost. To grasp the magnitude of this drama, in which each of us is playing a significant role, we must lift the veil of the visible and peer into the mysteries of the unseen world.

Read these pages as you would read a drama. Plunge your mind deeply into God’s revelation of His great plan; you will gain new insights into truths that may have become commonplace for you. May you begin each new day by reaffirming your authority in Christ, seated in Him at the right hand of God. And may you go into your world clothed with His armor, filled with His power, armed with the sword of His Spirit, and permeating your life with prayer.
