A Stranger in the House of God


Book Description

Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

God's 24-7 Soldier's Handbook


Book Description

God's 24-7 Soldier's Handbook was written to reiterate to Christians that they are Soldiers in God's Army, which is the most powerful Army in the Universe! As a former United States (US) Army Soldier, Felicia Shell Tucker realized that many of the strategies she learned while in the military are the same strategies she needs to maneuver around the spiritual battlefield. She hopes this handbook reinforces those already enlisted in God's Army and encourages those who are not to joyously enlist to serve under the Greatest Commander in Chief-Jesus Christ, because His rewards are priceless, and His benefits are eternal.

Red Moon Rising


Book Description

From the Upper Room of Pentecost to Azusa Street in Los Angeles, God has used prayer movements throughout history to change the world. Over fifteen years ago, a group of students gathered for a prayer vigil in Chichester, England—and the prayers they started haven’t stopped. Out of that first meeting came 24-7 Prayer: an international movement of prayer, mission, and justice that has reached Chinese underground churches, Indian slums, Papua New Guinea jungles, ancient English cathedrals, and even a brewery in Missouri. Red Moon Rising is the story of how that movement continues today—and how each of us can be a part of the miracles God is doing through a new generation.
