*WONDERFUL NAMES OF OUR WONDERFUL LORD by Charles Hurlburt and T. C. Horton.
Jesus is referred to by many different titles and names, both prophetically in the Old Testament and descriptively in the New Testament. This little book lists the titles/names, gives you a Scripture passage to read and provides a mini-devotional. Cost: $3.95, plus shipping.
*SIX STEPS TO SPIRITUAL REVIVAL: GOD’S AWESOME POWER IN YOUR LIFE by Pat Robertson.
Need a spiritual lift? Here are six basic things you can do. These are not gimmicks but Scripturally mandated ways to grow in the Lord.

*A LOVE OBSERVED: JOY DAVIDMAN’S LIFE & MARRIAGE TO C. S. LEWIS by Lyle W. Dorsett.
(The author donated copies of this book to Institute for Christian Renewal with the proceeds from sales going to our building fund. Thank you, Lyle). Many of us love the writings of C. S. Lewis. Here’s the story of his somewhat late in life love and marriage. We are often blessed, challenged, and warned by Christian biography and this book will do that for you. Cost: $11.99 plus shipping.
*IN PURSUIT OF PEACE: 21 WAYS TO CONQUER ANXIETY, FEAR, AND DISCOURAGEMENT by Joyce Meyer.
Lent is an especially good season to “work on one’s stuff” — not, we hope, a pounding on ourselves or an allowing of Satan to rub our noses in our faults, but a time to work on those areas where we know we need improvement. Anxiety, fear and discontentment are not just things that hurt us — they are also sins. And we can do something about these. You’ll come back to this book again and again. We offer it at our conferences held at our healing center because people have told us how helpful this book is. It’s a hardback book and it’s on sale. Cost: SALE PRICE $17.00 plus shipping.
ADD postage / handling: for orders under $47, add $3.75. For orders $47 and over, add 8%.
We’re cutting back on the books we carry in our office and we want to offer them to you at a discount. These books are new and in good condition.

GROWTH INTO MANHOOD by Alan Medinger.
For a variety of reasons some boys miss the formative experiences which help them become mature in their manhood. Some will become homosexual. Others heterosexual but lacking a true sense of who they are and can be. The late Alan Medinger was such a man and for three decades he ministered with wisdom and compassion to those who had yet to discover what God (and some of God’s workers) taught him about manhood. ON SALE AT $10.00.
WHO IS JESUS by Tim LaHaye.
Hardback book. A great gift for someone who does not yet profess Christian faith but is open to thinking and talking about it. The book is very readable and tells the story in a compelling way. ON SALE AT $12.00.
THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER: Rediscovering the Centrality of the Church by Peter Leithart.
Sometimes the Church (because it is made up of people) lets us down. But there are just too many stories of what happens to individuals who try to be a disciple of Jesus without the Church. What is the nature of this community called the Church? What should our relationship to it be and what is our role in it? ON SALE AT $10.00.
THE PURSUIT OF GOD IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS by Richard Lamb.
How to go deeper — in a real, genuine way — with other Christians. How to discover Christian community in a way that is not toxic, controlling or stultifying, but real and lifegiving. ON SALE AT $10.00.
REDISCOVERING NEW TESTAMENT PRAYER by John Koenig.
Many of us are frustrated in our prayer lives because praying has become a mere mechanical, rote duty. Well what should one do when something we know we should do isn’t working? Why, go back and read the directions, of course. Here’s some basic stuff about prayer as the earliest Christians knew it. ON SALE AT $11.00.
