      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/theology/finding-my-way-in-christianity/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<strong>Pre-Order:</strong> Release is scheduled for September 1, 2010

<strong>Subtitle:</strong> Recollections of a Journey

<em>Finding My Way in Christianity: Recollections of a Journey</em> is a story of dealing with the differences within the Christian  community that is both personal and theologically reflective.  With a  diverse cross-cultural background, exceptional theological education,  and fascinating personal experience, author Dr. Herold Weiss is uniquely  qualified to write about this topic.

This notable book outlines the author's experiences starting in  Montevideo, Uruguay and moving through various educational experiences  and teaching positions.  It is no accident that the chapter titles  reflect geographical locations, as the journey through space provides an  illuminating metaphor for the faith journey that accompanies it.

Some of the people you meet in this book will make you angry.  Others  will make you thankful to be a Christian.  Some will evoke your  sympathy even as you seek to understand why they acted as they did.  All  of them will help give you some insight into what goes into a  successful journey of faith. You can read <em>Finding My Way in Christianity</em> either as an  interesting story or as theological reflection. The author's experiences  will resonate with many of us who have experienced the divisions within  the Christian community and dealt with those who would silence dissent.   Dr. Weiss' story comes primarily within one denomination, but it  follows outlines that will be familiar to many.

If you find yourself on a journey of faith, you owe it to yourself to read <em>Finding My Way in Christianity.</em>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Preserving Democracy (Expanded Paperback)]]></title>
      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/politics/preserving-democracy-expanded-paperback/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Like an aging monument, democracy itself is crumbling.

An ever increasing government threatens both freedom and a financial collapse.
<ul>
	<li>Judges are acting more like kings themselves than interpreters of the law</li>
	<li>Redistricting, voter fraud, campaign finance controls, and an uninformed electorate threaten the integrity of elections.</li>
	<li>The values that made America the greatest country in the world are being supplanted.</li>
	<li>Government's attempts to make people's lives better often have the opposite effect</li>
</ul>
What is causing this decay?  What can we do?

Preserving Democracy was written to answer these questions.

<strong>Elgin Hushbeck, Jr.</strong> defends American constitutional government by:
<ol>
	<li>focusing on specific ideas rather than personalities,</li>
	<li>being ideologically sharp, yet non-partisan in tone</li>
	<li>using clear and simple, but never simplistic, arguments.</li>
</ol>
Are you equipped for the task of Preserving Democracy?]]></description>

      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/biblical-studies/whos-afraid-of-the-old-testament-god-damaged/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<strong>We have a number of copies of this title that were damaged either in transit or in storage.  We are nearly out of stock on this edition, and will release a new edition later this year.  Until then, the damaged copies will be available at this low price of $5.00.</strong>

This book is for those who have serious questions about the meaning and relevance of the Hebrew scriptures, and strikes at the heart of Christian teaching and our understanding of God. With his characteristic insight, wisdom and enthusiasm, Dr. Thompson takes on some of the most difficult passages and finds in them the love and care of God, along with an understanding of the humanness of the authors of scripture.

The discussion includes such passages as Judges 19-21 and Psalm 137. You will come away from this book with a new appreciation for the whole Bible both as it stood in its own world, and as it can be applied today.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Soup Kitchen for the Soul]]></title>
      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/devotional/soup-kitchen-for-the-soul/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<em>Soup Kitchen for the Soul</em> combines testimony with a  challenging scriptural foundation and follows it with specific guidance  on how you can get out of your church and make a difference in your  community. Each chapter builds on a Bible story and the author's personal  experience, and ends with thought questions, and then action questions.   References include specific ways in which you can take action on what  you have been studying in the book.

This book is suitable for personal or small group study, or could be  used effectively by an entire church to transform their ministry.

In the introduction Crosby says: "Upon entering Seminary, I was required to serve in the community and  begrudgingly accepted my assignment, choosing to serve in a soup  kitchen.  While serving in the soup kitchen, God revealed himself to me  in a profound and miraculous way.  It was in restudying the scriptures  with this new heart knowledge of God that allowed me to see a message of  a mission for His people that we lack a connection with today.  I began  asking, 'What if ... What if I'm not the only one who doesn't  understand the whole mission God has planned for us?  What exactly are  we supposed to be doing?  Where in the Bible can we find directives on  our missions for God?  What if I wrote a book about radically new old  ways of doing the gospel?'"

<em>Soup Kitchen for the Soul</em> is that book.]]></description>

      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/devotional/along-bible-paths-summer-devotions/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<em>Along Bible Paths: Summer Devotions </em>grew out of the daily devotional e-mail list that Jody Neufeld began in 1999 to encourage others to begin their day with the Lord.

      <title><![CDATA[The Character of Our Discontent]]></title>
      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/devotional/the character of our discontent/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<strong>Now Shipping!</strong>

<em>The Character of Our Discontent</em> grew out of the author's  conviction that pastors do not preach enough about the Old Testament.   The result is 19 chapters, each of which represents a sermon on an Old  Testament character.  These sermons are lively, fast paced, and  practical yet are rooted in sound scholarship and are examples of the  homiletical art.

Christians who would like to learn how the Old Testament can  enlighten and guide their Christian walk, and pastors who would like to  learn how to preach more effectively from the Old Testament will both  find these sermons an invaluable aid.

While Dr. Bevere specializes in the New Testament and theology, he  believes that pastors (and academics as well) can preach and teach  effectively outside their areas of specialty.  Indeed, they must, and  this teaching can enrich their own learning and the fields of study into  which they venture.

<em>The Character of Our Discontent</em> is an adventure in preaching  and it invites us into the adventure of living in relationship with  God, an adventure that has similar characteristics whether we are  learning about God's call to Abraham or how a call to mission in Africa  came to a contemporary English teacher nearing retirement.]]></description>

      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/biblical-studies/learning-and-living-scripture-an-introduction-to-the-participatory-study-method/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<strong>Book of the Week:</strong> August 4-7, 2010

Geoffrey Lentz and Henry Neufeld, a pastor and a teacher team up in <em>Learning and Living Scripture</em> to present the Participatory Bible Study Method, an approach to Bible study that is rooted in the conviction that God can and will speak to us in scripture.

They bring together their different experiences and perspectives to present this method of study in a practical, usable way.

There are three key elements to this study:

1. The integration of prayer and study
2. Serious questioning and research that is nonetheless within reach of the non-scholar
3. Study in community with both witness and accountability through sharing

In this guide you will learn to integrate prayer and scripture reading while also being faithful to the historical meaning of the text and its use throughout history by the community of faith. This method is not just about study and learning facts; it's about letting the God, who gave scripture, live in and through you, as you learn and share.]]></description>

      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/energion-publications/grief-finding-the-candle-of-light/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<ul>
	<li>Separated from someone you love:  mother, father, sister, brother, wife, husband, child, friend, pet</li>
	<li>Separated from a career you love</li>
	<li>Separated from a home you love</li>
	<li>Separated from the life you thought would continue on the road you were traveling</li>
</ul>
Grief is the sorrow and suffering that must be walked THROUGH by everyone who has experienced a loss. The walk is characterized by:
<ul>
	<li>Alone-ness.  No one can do it for you.</li>
	<li>Timelessness.  There are no shortcuts and detours may occur.</li>
	<li>Darkness.  Each path is unique to the person.  There is only One who sees in the dark just as He does in the light (Psalm 139).</li>
</ul>
"God gives us simple directions as we walk through the valley of grief. As He told David in Psalm 23, it was His intention that we walk through the valley, not get stuck. Walking my own roads after the death of my son, my parents, and my first marriage, I can say now that each road was different; each one had some very difficult periods and yet God was faithful. It is my prayer as I write this book that others will also receive God's healing, life-giving words."]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Disciples: Jesus With Us is a basic book on discipleship, with the emphasis on "basic." It is for every pastor who has wondered just what he can give a new Christian, a new member, or someone who is struggling with the Christian walk that will help guide them through those first steps of discipleship. It is for every new believer who has wondered just what happened and what to do now. Rev. Riley Richardson speaks from the heart of a pastor and evangelist, providing basic guidance and explanations of what it means to be a Christian. Chapters discuss what it means to be saved, prayer, Bible study, finding a church home, stewardship, service, and some additional steps to take. There are questions and exercises provided for an individual or a small group. It includes a glossary, index, and scripture index, along with numerous recommendations for further study.

      <description><![CDATA[Dr. Bob McKibben shares from his heart his understanding of the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit within the local church. Combining his experience as pastor, study, and a commitment to sound Biblical principles, Bob provides a checklist for pastors and churches to use in ministry and worship as they encounter the wonderful presence of the Holy Spirit.

This is a pastoral rather than a theological work. Sure enough, it has theology in it. The focus, however, is on caring for the Body of Christ as it experiences the abundant grace of God and the magnificent gifts of the of the Holy Spirit.

      <description><![CDATA[When someone claims they have a message from God, how do you decide whether to believe them? This question has been with people of faith at least since Abraham heard someone-God, as it turned out-telling him to leave home and go to a place he would be shown. Other people have left their homes thinking God was guiding them, and have ended up with nothing but trouble.

And what about books? When someone claims a book is inspired by God how do you determine whether they are right or wrong? Very often they will be telling you that your eternal destination depends on believing what they say, and yet others will say that their book is right. Is it possible to know?

Interpretations of those books can be equally difficult to judge. People with special interpretations of scripture often claim just as much authority as those who claim to be prophets. If you reject their interpretation, you are rejecting God himself. How do you make a wise decision?

Writer and Bible teacher Henry Neufeld wrestles with these questions in these pages. You may not like some of the answers, but you will be challenged as he calls us each to focus first on the conversation with God and then to each be responsible for learning God's will for our individual lives.]]></description>

      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/theology/not-ashamed-of-the-gospel-confessions-of-a-liberal-charismatic/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[What is the good news? If the gospel that Jesus taught is so good, why are Christians so bad? How can Christians relate to people of other faiths or of no faith at all?

Bible teacher Henry Neufeld wrestles with these issues in this book. This is not a book of theology. It is his personal testimony of what Jesus means in his life, and how one can be both a serious, committed Christian and a strong proponent of diversity and dialogue. In fact, he finds in the gospel not just permission to be tolerant, but a command to be open, honest, and clear in his convictions, and yet non-judgmental of the views of others.

Henry's understanding of Christianity is built around the incarnation. If God can cross the gap between the infinite and the finite to experience life with us, surely we can cross the gap between ourselves and our fellow human beings. "You are never more God-like than when you open your heart's door to another person. The more different they are, the more God-like that action is," he says in describing how Christians should seek to build relationships.]]></description>

      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/devotional/52-weeks-of-ordinary-people-extraordinary-god/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Jody Neufeld shares from her heart "ordinary moments with an extraordinary God." Upon her retirement from nursing and then beginning into ministry with her husband Henry, a Biblical teacher, Jody felt the Lord urging her to share a daily devotion with people she knew still in an outside workplace. "I know that when I was working in a hospital or a doctor's office or in homes delivering hospice care, I wish someone had sent me an email devotion each morning that would give me a focus and a lesson for the day." This ministry went from 12 people to hundreds and continues today. This weekly devotion book is made up of 52 devotions with questions or suggestions for discussion that will work well with small groups. Used in conjunction with the forthcoming Energion Publications book, <em>When 3 to 8 Gather</em>, this is an excellent way to 'jump start' a small group with diverse members or given an established group a new perspective.

How to use this book:
<ul>
	<li>Devotional study for <strong>prayer groups</strong>--economical for group purchase</li>
	<li>Occasional <strong>devotions for committee</strong> or social meetings</li>
</ul>

      <description><![CDATA[This book is for those who have serious questions about the meaning and relevance of the Hebrew scriptures, and strikes at the heart of Christian teaching and our understanding of God. With his characteristic insight, wisdom and enthusiasm, Dr. Thompson takes on some of the most difficult passages and finds in them the love and care of God, along with an understanding of the humanness of the authors of scripture.

The discussion includes such passages as Judges 19-21 and Psalm 137. You will come away from this book with a new appreciation for the whole Bible both as it stood in its own world, and as it can be applied today.

<strong>Simple Risk:</strong> Marita is a teenager, or at least she thinks she is. Nobody knows, not even her noble adoptive parents. But she has been arrested near a bank with gold bars bearing the bank's stamp. Now she'll go on trial for armed robbery, and the penalty is death.

<strong>The Call:</strong> Hedder doesn't have any gifts other than following a plow or silencing a squalling child until the king's knight comes along with a call.

<strong>A State of Mind:</strong> Laaraalindarinaaz, more commonly known as Lara or even just La needs a weapon to drive the pirates from her village. But can a weapon be more dangerous than the pirates?

In this collection of ten fantasy short stories, eight collected from The Jevlir Caravansary story blog, and two written especially for this collection, the author portrays parts of an alternate universe he created originally for adventure gaming, but which now forms a background for story writing. Each major character illustrates some aspect of the background world. Together they begin to form a tapestry.

These stories are written for fun, not education. They offer the opportunity to play with some different rules and different consequences, and to look at the people such a world might produce.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Megabelt]]></title>
      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/fiction/megabelt/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<strong>Megabelt</strong> is a fictional account of the South and its preoccupations with modern Christianity told from the point of view of a boy named Gil growing up in what is otherwise known as the "Bible Belt."

The readers will find themselves steeped in the world of Gil whose experiences and questions lead him to unravel some of the Bible Belt's many dominant and passively adopted messages as well as its numerous types of characters.

Gil is the quintessential mind of most inhabitants of the Belt. He is you. He is I. While his experiences greatly reflect those of the author, his encounters will never go unidentified with by the reader.

<strong>Megabelt</strong> is a fabricated entity describing the world that exists between traditional Bible Belt culture and contemporary Bible Belt culture, the term explores the differences between as well as the ever-growing and ever-changing dynamics of the two.

<strong>Megabelt</strong> has no message, no moral proclamation or agenda. Its purpose is to highlight the truths of the Bible Belt culture and therefore perform a complete overhaul of its patrons' thoughts and lifestyles for better or for worse. Any further sort of significance or meaning drawn from its pages is strictly subjective.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[What is the Kingdom of God? What does it mean to be part of the kingdom? These are questions that should occupy the mind of every Christian. But we frequently shy away from the full meaning of God's rule.

In <em>Christian Archy</em>, <strong>Dr. David Alan Black</strong> examines the New Testament to find the truly radical and all-encompassing claims of God's kingdom. In doing so, he discovers that the character of this kingdom is widely different from what is commonly contemplated today. Its glory is revealed only through suffering — a point that Jesus' disciples, then and now, have been slow to understand. This truth has tremendous implications for church life. The kingdom of God is in no way imperialistic. It has no political ambitions. It conquers not by force but by love. It is this humble characteristic of the kingdom that is a stumbling block to so many today. Christ's claim to our total allegiance is one we seek to avoid at all costs. But there is only one way to victory and peace, and that way is the way of the Lamb.

This is the first volume in the new <a href="http://energionpubs.com/areopagus.php">Areopagus Critical Christian Issues Series</a> from <strong>Energion Publications</strong>. We believe it is an appropriate way to begin that series by addressing this foundational question of who we are as part of the Christian church, and why it is important for us to immerse ourselves in God's word.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[The Jesus Paradigm]]></title>
      <link>http://energiondirect.com/products-page/theology/the-jesus-paradigm/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The church is in disarray. Theologians and commentators speak of the demise of evangelicalism. Are they alarmists? Is Christianity as we know it in the process of dying?

Writer, scholar, teacher, and missionary <a href="http://daveblackonline.com/">Dr. David Alan Black</a> thinks that the answer does not lie in the politics of the left or the right. In fact, he doesn't think that Jesus tells us what our politics should be. He doesn't see answers in Christian nationalism. But even further, he sees serious flaws in the very structure of our churches and denominations that prevent us from truly being obedient to the gospel.

The solution lies, not in renewal, revival, or even in reformation, but rather in restoration-a restoration of the church organized as Jesus intended it and according to the example provided by the earliest church sources in the New Testament.

To make the church and its members true servants of Jesus Christ again, we need to change our entire paradigm-to The Jesus Paradigm.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<a title="Link to Henry Neufeld home page" href="http://henryneufeld.com" target="_blank">Henry E. Neufeld</a> writes about Bible translations from his knowledge as a student of Biblical languages, and his experience teaching them to laypeople and discussing them on the internet. Many people have questions about translations because they do not understand how translations are produced. Much of the material available is either polarizing, or is provided to advocate a particular version.

<em>What's in a Version?</em> strives to provide a basis for lay students to understand how translations are made so they can understand the arguments and become confident of the Bible version they choose to use for reading and study.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Jody Neufeld shares from her heart "ordinary moments with an Extraordinary God". Upon her retirement from nursing and into ministry with her husband Henry, a Bible teacher, Jody felt the Lord urging her to share a daily devotion with people she knew still in an outside workplace. "I know that when I was working in a hospital or a doctor's office or in homes delivering hospice care, I wish someone had sent me an email devotion each morning that would give me a focus and a lesson for the day." This ministry went from 12 people to hundreds and continues today. This book is collected from over two years of her devotions.

<strong>How to use this book:</strong>
<ul>
	<li>Daily <strong>personal devotions</strong></li>
	<li><strong>Sermon</strong> ideas</li>
	<li><strong>Prayer group</strong> devotions</li>
</ul>]]></description>
