LATEST RELEASE"The Monday Morning Church,
Out of the Sanctuary and Into the Streets"
You are called not so much to do great things, as to be a great person--and that person is Jesus Christ. The church of Jesus Christ is the resident presence of Jesus in the world. That's a foundational principle of incarnational Christianity. Incarnational Christianity doesn't aim to get people to God; it brings Jesus to them. As God's
redeemed people, filled with his Spirit, we are people of destiny, purposely placed by God deep inside our culture. We have been strategically deployed into a hungry world to bring the presence of Jesus into the very heart of society. We are his points of incarnational penetration, his strategic presence in the world. This book challenges traditional thinking of how ministry occurs and what the church should be while presenting an exciting new paradigm of living for Christ. It describes a way of seeing, a way of understanding, a way of responding.

"Love, Acceptance and Forgiveness"
When Jerry and his wife began pastoring East Hill Church in 1965, total membership was 23. As he and his church became serious about showing love, acceptance and forgiveness, they grew to over 4,500 by becoming the Body of Christ in their community. A best seller since 1979, this book has given fresh definition to churches of all denominations and is often handed out to new members as a description of the pastor's vision for church life. Included are accounts of how he has applied biblical principles to real people seeking real love, real acceptance and real forgiveness. Here is a book full of hope and help for everyone, from Christians looking for reality in their churches, to pastors and other leaders seeking to provide that reality.

"Ordinary Women--Extraordinary Strength"
Can a woman be strong? If she is strong, will she therefore be dominating, masculine or controlling? What is a Christian woman to do with the Bible's promises of strength, might and power? Are they intended for men only, or can they be understood in a way that will release women to be both powerful and feminine? In this Biblical perspective of feminine potential, Barbara Cook discusses what it means to be women of strength and godliness. With a penetrating look at Scripture, from the Old Testament to the New, from verses everyone agrees with to problem sections of Scripture, she explores the meaning of true strength and true Christian womanhood. Paul Yonggi Cho calls this "a tremendous book for women today who aspire to be more and to discover the power Source that doesn't disappear when the pressure is on."

"Love and Its Counterfeits"
It looks like love. It feels like love. But is it love? Can you spot a counterfeit? This book examines eight destructive behavior patterns and the beliefs they are rooted in. Perhaps you will see yourself in the Rescuer, the Victim, the Matriarch, the Romantic, the Angel, the Addict, or the Obsessed, the Darling. Confront the misconceptions and self-delusions that keep you from mature love. Love and Its Counterfeits does not focus on a painful past, but shows Biblical guidance into a happier future. Learn to recognize the counterfeits of love and move beyond them into satisfying, healthy relationships. "In no area of our lives are the emotional mine fields more surprising than the territory of love. I wrote this book out of a deep desire to ease the pain of women suffering from what they believe to be the results lf love." -Barbara Cook
