    City on Fire: A Novel of Pompeii As Vesuvius churns, a slave girl-turned-gladiator joins forces with an unlikely source to seek justice.

    In the coastal town of Pompeii, a new gladiator prepares to fight. But this gladiator hides a deadly secret: she’s a runaway Jewish slave girl named Ariella, disguised as a young boy. A savvy fighter, Ariella determines to triumph in the arena, knowing her life will be forfeit should anyone uncover the truth.

    Cato, a wealthy politician, moved to Pompeii after tiring of the corruption in Rome. But he soon learns that Pompeii is just as corrupt, and if he doesn’t play the game, his family could pay the price. Determined to bring about justice for the citizens of Pompeii, Cato searches for allies. But what he discovers instead is a confounding group of Christians… and a young female gladiator whose fame is growing daily.

    Political unrest reaches a boiling point as Christians are jailed and executed, and the mountain in the distance threatens to destroy the city with its river of fire. Cato and Ariella must act quickly and courageously to save their loved ones before all is lost.

    Surrender to Love: Discovering the Heart of Christian Spirituality (The Spiritual Journey) "Only God deserves absolute surrender because only God can offer absolutely dependable love."

    In our self-reliant era, most of us recoil from the concept of surrendering to a power or authority outside ourselves. But surrender need not be seen as threatening, especially when the One to whom we surrender is the epitome of goodness and love.
    God doesn’t want his people to respond to him out of fear or obligation. Rather, he invites us to enter into an authentic relationship of intimacy and devotion. And so God calls us to move beyond mere obedience―by surrendering to love.

    In this profound book, David G. Benner explores the twin themes of love and surrender as the heart of Christian spirituality. Through careful examination of Scripture and reflection on the Christian tradition, Benner shows how God bids us to trust fully in his perfect love. God is love, and he intends for you to live in his love. Surrender to Love will lead you to an unexpected place, where yieldedness to God frees you to become who he created you to be.

    This expanded edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy, includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.

    Love, Charleston Charleston’s past is full of romance. Does Anne’s future hold the same?

    Charleston’s Anne Brumley has long dreamed of love while ringing the bells at St. Michael’s, but those dreams are beginning to fade. Her sister Alisha and cousin Della encourage the thirty-six year old to move somewhere new for a fresh start.

    Widower Roy Summerall has happily ministered to the country folks of Church of the Good Shepherd for years. So why would the Lord call him and his daughter away to Charleston–the city that Roy remembers from his childhood as pretentious and superficial? Surely the refined congregation of St. Michael’s won’t accept a reverend with a red neck and a simple faith.

    Meanwhile, Anne’s sister, Alisha, struggles with her husband’s ambition, which seems to be taking him further from their dreams of a happy family. And Cousin Della’s former fiance has returned to Charleston, making her wonder if she chose the wrong path when she married her gifted but unemployed-artist husband.

    Family, friendship, and faith converge in a beautiful story about how God’s transforming love works in the Holy City of Charleston.

    Jesus Speaks: Holding Fast in a World of Compromise (Jesus Speaks Set) "Hold fast." This is the word of the risen Christ, the one who has eyes like flames of fire, who holds seven stars in his right hand and who searches the minds and hearts of all humans.

    In Revelation 2–3 his word comes to us like two-edged sword, both encouraging and judging. Jesus calls us to hold fast in the face of temptations of all sorts, but sternly warns those who follow false teachings.

    Though Jesus is speaking to seven ancient churches of Asia Minor, his words ring true today, calling us to

    • patient endurance
    • not fearing tribulation
    • repenting of a dead faith
    • keeping God’s Word
    • receiving the crown of life
    • the blessings of conquerors

    This seven-session DVD forms a church-wide series when coupled with the book Jesus Speaks, which combines short devotional chapters with a built-in seven-session small group guide. Jesus offers us his guidance through both the pitfalls and paths toward holiness. Are you ready to listen?

    The Wounded Spirit If you’ve ever been there, you’ve never forgotten. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smell of a junior high school locker room.

    It’s the feeling of being undersized … or oversized … or klutzy … or less than beautiful. Of being a nerd … or a geek … or just, somehow, different.

    It’s knowing you are vulnerable-and someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable.

    It’s the fraternity you never wanted to join-the fellowship of the wounded spirit.

    And bestselling novelist Frank Peretti is a member, too.

    This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It’s the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school-especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood. No wonder he found himself relating to movie monsters who were hated but also feared-and who eventually exacted a bloody revenge on their tormentors!

    In Peretti’s case, deliverance eventually came-through time, through prayer, through a teacher’s caring intervention, and his own willingness to seek help. But he has never forgotten what life was like at the bottom of the junior high foodchain.

    Only in Christ, Peretti reminds, is there hope for the wounded spirits-but that hope is powerful enough to change everything.

    In a time when few gave their hearts to Yahweh, Tia must decide if she is willing to risk everything – her possessions, her gods, and her very life – for the Israelites’ one God. Madness, sorcery, and sinister plots mingle like an alchemist’s deadly potion as Tia chooses whether to risk all to save the kingdom – and her family.
