One Month To Live Are you suffering from “someday” syndrome – always waiting for someday when your schedule calms down, your finances improve or your kids grow up so you can begin to live the life you’ve always dreamed of? Consider how your perspective would change if you found out you had just thirty days to live. After the initial shock, you’d probably resolve to squeeze all you could from the days that remain. You’d say what you really think. You’d love with abandon. You’d focus on whatever you care about most. In short, you’d stop wasting precious time, and in whatever time you had left, you’d throw yourself into becoming the person God intended you to be. Why wait to answer the longings of your heart? You can live this way now, thriving in a life of passion and purpose as you engage fully in each day. In One Month to Live, Kerry and Chris show you how to stop waiting for “someday” and start making each day really matter. By taking their 30-Day challenge, you’ll learn what it means to make the most of your time on earth and live life with no regrets.

Believing God

Don't be afraid to set aside your unbelief and experience the great blessings of God's promises.

The first part is a warning to believers, while the second part shows women how to prepare for attacks by the Enemy.

Parenting The Early Years Recently we’ve been working with Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott with some things for the parents of young children. They are best selling authors, who have sold over one million copies of their books. They are a very solid Christian couple that has been featured on Christianity Today, ABC’s Good Morning America, Focus on the Family, The New York Times and they’ve even made their way on to Oprah. What we’ve been finding is that so many parents out there are wondering, “Do I have what it takes to be a good parent?” A lot of times parents need help, but nobody likes to ask for help. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Les and Leslie Parrott to create a new video-driven study called Parenting: The Early Years. Now, this goes deeper than any technique of just getting kids to eat their broccoli and clean their room. It takes a Biblical approach into the traits parents want their children to have and what traits they want their children to see modeled in them. On this six DVD series our team took their cameras into the homes of 20 families and captured real-life parenting moments. Some of these are funny moments and some are just completely honest moments that every parent can relate to. The study looks at what it’s like for married, single and blended families. It works well in a Sunday morning class or small group Bible study, a parenting seminar or even to send home with expecting parents or even grandparents who are finding themselves raising their grandkids (because we all know children don’t come with instructions).

God is Great, God is Good In the wake of a natural disaster we come face-to-face with the reality that the world is not as it should be. The jarring images of indiscriminate destruction on the news beg the question, "Why God?" "Why did this happen?" "Why would you allow such meaningless suffering?" While we default to "Why?" perhaps we should be asking another question — "Who?" "Who is this God?" In the face of tragedies and atrocities are we to believe in a God of judgment or a God of love? This two-part series sets out to answer the question of who God is by spanning the Bible from creation to re-creation. Along the way you will discover what went wrong with our world and how God has been at work fixing it. Author: Andy Stanley Website: www.northpoint.org How many weeks? Two Names of Sessions:

Verdict We live in a culture that urges us to accept all religions as valid approaches to God. We are surrounded by intellectuals who urge us to abandon the notion of moral or theological absolutes. Our universities are filled with skeptics and cynics who delight in dismantling the Sunday school faith of our children. And yet in spite of all that, millions of people world wide cling to the notion that 2,000 years ago a man came from God, spoke on behalf of God and then died for the sins of the world. How can that be? Are we simply deceiving ourselves? Do we need propping up that bad? Have we checked our brains at the door? Why would so many continue to believe in such narrow, politically incorrect, divisive ideas? This three-part series examines the evidence that has led so many to accept the Bible as a credible record of actual events. Listen and decide for yourself.

Let's face it . . . your life has been defined by the voices you've chosen to tune in, as well as those you've opted to tune out. All of us wish we could go back and dial up certain voices in our lives. And if we could go back, there are voices we would tune out altogether. But, we can't go back.

Anne will guide you through not only the main events of God's story that are obvious to even the most casual person but also into places inhabited by God Himself. And in finding God, in coming to know Him as He describes Himself in His own words, you will find more than a Deity who created the universe.

Creation Seminars 2 – 7 Dinosaurs, Creation, Evolution – Dinosaurs And The Bible Creation Seminar Part 2 Did you know dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible? Are we being told the truth about the dinosaurs? Nearly all public school textbooks teach that dinosaurs lived “millions of years ago”; however, on this two-hour video, Dr. Kent Hovind shows that dinosaurs did NOT live millions of years ago, but have always lived with man. He explains how dinosaurs were in the Garden of Eden with Adam an Eve, on the ark with Noah, and were hunted by man after the flood to the point of extinction for most species. Dr. Hovind also shows amazing evidence that a few small ones may still be alive in various parts of the world today! Website: www.drdino.com Dinosaurs, Creation, Evolution – Leviathon: Fire-Breathing Dragon Creation Seminar Part 3 Is it possible that there was an animal that breathed fire? Scoffers have ridiculed the Bible for years over its story of a “fire-breathing dragon.” Learn the truth on this video by Dr. Kent Hovind. Also, see why God used dinosaurs to help Job get a new outlook on life and to expose one of the greatest and most common problems people deal with today. Website: www.drdino.com Dinosaurs, Creation, Evolution – What Is In The Textbooks? Creation Seminar Part 4 Are public school science students being taught false information? Could it be that the humanists are using the public school system to prepare students for their “new world order?” This 2 hour video shows how textbook authors use outdated and false information to support the evolution theory. Every public school student, teacher or school board member needs to watch this tape! Website: www.drdino.com

How and why did the theory of evolution become so popular so quickly in the 1800’s? Did Darwin really start this crazy theory that controls our schools today? How do scientists tell the age of fossils and rocks? What “evidence for evolution” will students face in their textbooks and what is the creationist’s answer to these so-called evidences? In this two-hour video Dr. Hovind answers all these questions and many more. Website: www.drdino.com Dinosaurs, Creation, Evolution – The Hovind Theory Creation Seminar Part 6 If the entire world flooded in the days of Noah, where could that much water have come from and where did it go? Where does the ice age fit into the Bible? Did it really take millions of years to form Grand Canyon as the textbooks teach students, or could the flood have formed Grand Canyon in a few days? What phenomena occurred to freeze thousands of mammoths? What about Pangea and continental drift? Of what geological significance was the Mt. St. Helens eruption to support the creationist’s view? Hear Dr. Kent Hovind answer these questions and many more on this video. Website: www.drdino.com Dinosaurs, Creation, Evolution – Question and Answer Session Creation Seminar Part 7 Did God create the birds on day three out of the water as recorded in Genesis chapter 1 or did He make them out of the ground on day 6 as recorded in Genesis chapter 2?

Wild At Heart Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, Wild at Heart, a guide to understanding Christian manhood and Christian men, offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful ... and dead. God designed men to be dangerous, says Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in every boy's heart: to be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires---aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It's no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be---dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Five Love Languages (Checked out: Michael Roche)

After many years of counseling, Dr. Chapman noticed a pattern: everyone he had ever counseled had a “love language,” a primary way of expressing and interpreting love. He also discovered that, for whatever reason, people are usually drawn to those who speak a different love language than their own.

Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories, or five love languages, proved to be universal and comprehensive—everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.

The 5 Love Languages has helped countless couples identify practical and powerful ways to express love, simply by using the appropriate love language. Many husbands and wives who had spent years struggling through marriages they thought were loveless discovered one or both spouses had long been showing love through messages that weren’t getting through. By recognizing their different love languages, they witnessed the rebirth of the love they thought had been gone for good.

What’s So Amazing About Grace (Checked out: Rich Kiefer) Master the leadership skills you need to be your very best! Wilkes discusses every aspect of an honorable servant leader---from humbling your heart to building a winning team. His personal stories show how following Jesus, taking risks, sharing responsibility, exercising authority, and other essential skills work in real life. Author: Philip Yancey Website: christianbook.com Mention the word "grace" and what immediately comes to mind for most of us is a bagpipe wailing the solemn notes of "Amazing Grace." The grace of which Philip Yancey writes is the freely given and unmerited favor and love of God. This grace seems a remote, almost sentimental concept, without a place in our lives or our society. It is a vague, slippery thing to us, probably because we seem to experience grace so rarely and have managed to leech the word of meaning. But Philip Yancey has set about to rescue grace in his book What's So Amazing About Grace? This grace is the true message of Jesus. All faiths have virtues and creeds and justice and truth, but Jesus speaks merely of receiving the love that God has for us. Accepting it, not earning it or making ourselves worthy of it. And frankly, accepting something we have not earned or are not worthy of is not an easy thing for most of us. In truth, grace is both utterly simple and utterly confounding. Little by little, Yancey guides us into a clearer understanding of grace by using stories, in much the same way Jesus did. We read stories of both grace and ungrace at work in people's lives. Sadly, it is stories of ungrace that are more prevalent today, the current culture wars painful acknowledgments of ungrace in our lives as Christians in this country. Yancey helps us understand that ungrace is that state of being in which self-righteousness and pride are a result of thinking that we have somehow earned God's approval and may now stand in judgment in his behalf. Philip Yancey was awarded the Gold Medallion Christian Book of the Year award for this book in 1998 by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. Readers concurred with this decision, making this book an immediate bestseller. Believers and nonbelievers alike should accept Yancey's challenge to become agents of grace rather than agents of vengeance or judgment or anger. In truth, we are each starving for grace, ready to grasp it tightly. And it is through grace that all other hungers--for justice, for righteousness, for love--are satisfied. Yancey opens his book by telling us that "grace" is the last best word, and in What's So Amazing About Grace?, he proves that he's right. --Patricia Klein
