Dr. Timothy Paul Jones
Family Ministry Field Guide

Ninety percent of Christian parents see themselves as personally responsible for their children’s Christian formation. Paradoxically, the effort they expend to facilitate this goal is minimal or non-existent at best. Dr. Jones says, “The overwhelming majority of Christian parents are not actively engaged in any sort of battle for their children’s souls. The goal of family ministry is for parents to see themselves and their families in light of the gospel,” says Jones. When we get this priority right, everything seems to fall in line (Louisville, KY).


David Drury & Steve Deneff

Change is tough. It can be uncomfortable. It forces us into the unknown. Many people experience disappointment and believe change is not truly possible. DeNeff and Drury share one such example, “More than half a million people have heart-bypass surgery in America every year. Most are told that surgery is only a temporary fix; that the only long-term solution is a change in lifestyle and diet. After one year, more than 90 percent of heart-bypass surgery patients report that they have not changed their lifestyle. In SoulShift, DeNeff and Drury provide seven empowering shifts in behavior patterns that will transform our lives.


Deborah Hardy
Stepping Through Cancer: A Guide for the Journey

Most people survive cancer. More than half of all people diagnosed with cancer now live five years longer after diagnosis. In Stepping Through Cancer, Hardy created a layman’s handbook covering all the major issues: Medical Steps, Information, Treatment, Physical Steps, Waiting, Emotional Steps, Relationship Steps and appendices full of useful information. She encourages, “Fight cancer each step of the way.” For Hardy, hope is a vital ingredient in the fight. “Staying hopeful can improve the quality of your life.” But hope alone is not enough. Prayer can also play an important role for cancer patients. “Prayer affects patients positively,” says Hardy (Denver, CO)


Mano Bakh
From Terror to Freedom: A Warning about America’s Affair with Islam

Mosques on main street USA? Has our openness and tolerance made us vulnerable? Bakh says it has, that we are openingPandora’s Box to Islam. A former admiral in the Iranian Navy, he chronicles his escape from Iran and explains why he personally renounced Islam. “I have watched a moderate Muslim country transition into a barbaric country.” He explains that Islam is a movement of its own under Sharia law which trumps the Constitution. Bakh is an outspoken advocate for freedom, for keeping basic human rights and liberties intact (San Diego, CA).


Aurelio Barreto

Aureilo Barreto worked tirelessly to achieve the American dream, and did. By the time he was in his 30’s he was a multi-millionaire. His company, Dogloo, earned him more money than he ever imagined. I lived to work; work had my complete attention,” says Barreto. He woke up one day and realized the dream did not bring the satisfaction he thought. Instead, he was depressed, anxious, and his marriage was on the rocks. Today, the founder of C28 Christian stores and the Not of This World clothing line, Barreto has seen thousands of people come to faith in Christ through his stores and the outreaches that his company sponsors with Christian musicians (Corona, CA).


Gregg L. Jantz, Ph.D

More than 40 million adults in the U.S. alone suffer from anxiety related disorders. Some people are chronic worriers. For men and women returning from war, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder plague the hearts and minds of many who have faced mortal danger – often leading to deep depression or suicide. In Overcoming Anxiety... Dr. Jantz looks at how to alleviate anxiety and stress but also describes how fear, depression or anxiety affects our closest relationships. Discover tools that will help set you or a love done free from the bondage of fear (Seattle, WA).


Jan Coates
Attitude-inize: 10 Secrets to a Positive You

A Stanford University study found that 87 percent of a person’s success in life is determined by attitude while only 12 percent is determined by what we know. How can we learn to adopt a positive mindset when there is so much negative news? How can we adapt after experiencing extreme pain or disappointment? Coates, a business consultant and speaker says, “No one has immunity from life’s challenges, nor is anyone guaranteed a perfect life without difficulties.” She lost her only son to a drunk driver, was raised by a mentally ill mother, overcame life-threatening cancer, battled depression, and was divorced with a baby at 19. Coates shares from her own life and experience and
gives us keys that unlock our ability to overcome the most difficult of circumstances (College Station, TX).


Angela Breidenbach

One in four people are impacted by mental illness. More than 26 percent suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. A former Mrs. Montana, Breidenbach grew up with a mom who was seriously ill. Gems of Wisdom is a look at how we can overcome in spite of the difficulties we face in life. How can we turn our pain, sorrow, or disappointment into something productive? Instead of wallowing in victimhood, she shows us how to embrace, forgive,
and grow. “God has a plan for you in all of this messiness,” she explains (Missoula, MT).


Jeanette Windle
Freedom’s Stand & Veiled Freedom

Since Western ratification of its new sharia law constitution, Afghanistan no longer pretends freedom of faith. Women are back under the burqa. Christ-followers are on death row for their faith. All without the slightest bump in the flow of Western aid, arms, military support. "Sooner or later, that compromise will come back to bite us," Windle predicts forcefully. So can outsiders ever truly purchase freedom for another culture or people? Can sharia law and democracy co-exist?  Can any society enjoy other basic freedoms while prohibiting freedom of faith? Journalist, missions leader, and novelist, Windle has lived in six countries and ministered in more than 30, including Afghanistan. In her two latest titles, Windle gives an inside look at what is really happening in Afghanistan--and why we should care. (Lancaster, PA)


Kathi Macias

Fourteen centuries after the advent of Islam, women suffer abuse, mutilation, oppression and even so-called “honor killings” within Muslim countries. Macias bases her newest title on real people, real stories, and describes in detail what women face under the legalistic iron fist of Islam. Yet, in spite of the struggles, God is reaching Muslim men and women through dream, visions, and healings. People of the Book is not a political statement but rather an account of the struggles women face in the world’s fastest growing major religion. (Sun City, CA).


Mark Virkler

Why do some people and families have trans-generational sin, bondage, or addiction? Virkler says that nearly a third of Jesus’ prayers for healing involved demonic influence and yet today we ignore or dismiss this possibility. He suggests there are consequences to sin but that trauma, immorality and abuse open pathways for malevolent and harassing
forces. He takes us on a step-by-step journey of healing that leads to ultimate freedom (Buffalo, NY).



What does Islam really teach? Is it a religion of peace? Is Yoga wrong? How can we witness to people steeped in Eastern mystical thinking that come from opposite worldview perspectives? A comprehensive look at cults, religions, and the varied terms and definitions they use are explained. An expert on world religions, religious persecution, and cults, Carden examines each as they reveal through their own literature (Orange, CA).


James L. Payne, Ph.D.
Six Political Illusions

Is it government’s problem to fix what isn’t working in our lives, community, and nation? Payne says the mentality of entitlement is not an attitude that was pervasive in the founding of America. Big government, he says, is the problem not the solution. Increasingly, Americans have come to mistrust big government while simultaneously looking to it to
solve their problems. In Six Illusions, he debunks the myths that have come to define modern America. Most important, he says the bigger government becomes, the fewer freedoms we enjoy (Sandpoint, ID).


Dr. Tom McQueen

According to therapist, Tom McQueen, part of our responsibility is to instill emerging generations with hope, values, and advice that will carry them through their own lives. “One of the shocking realities in this world that will take you by surprise when you least expect it is just how quickly your life passes,” says McQueen. We think in terms of life being static but it never is. Life is dynamic, even when it seems to move slowly. He encourages parents and grandparents
alike to pass down valuable lessons, important values, and spiritual experience that may very well save a lifetime of grief (Tampa, FL).


Cec Murphey
When A Man You Love Was Abused

An astonishing one in six men has been sexually abused as a child. New York Times bestselling author, Murphey, hasexperienced it firsthand. “You can’t fully live in the present until you no longer hide from your past,” he explains. The book is designed to help women and the men they love understand and break free from the bondage of the past. “Refusal to look back has its consequences,” says Murphey. A typical reaction to childhood abuse in men is fear of abandonment, a sense of aloneness, and feeling different (bad) from everyone else (Atlanta, GA).


Kevin & Christine Meland
The Hope-Filled Marriage

In spite of all the resources and seminars about marriage and family, marriages and families are still coming apart, even within the church. The Melands were part of the statistics, divorced before reuniting and remarrying a year later. Now, they are outspoken advocates for helping troubled marriages stay together. Founders of Mountain Haven Reconciliation Ministry, they say hope motivates a desire for action. Losing hope affects everything. They identify the “hope busters” and give help for keeping it together (Canon City, CO).


Dr. Hal Seed

When something goes wrong, we often ask, “Why did God allow this to happen?” When there is injustice, personal crisis, or natural disasters, we wonder why God didn’t intervene. There are many more questions: How do we know if the Bible is really God’s Word; is there really only one way to heaven; or why Christianity is so exclusive. Seed methodically breaks down the big questions into 40 of the most asked. He explains the answers in layman’s terms and
provides plenty of support for a Christian worldview (Oceanside, CA).
