| Becoming Complete in the Four Crucial Dimensions of Manhood This hurting world has a desperate shortage of strong leaders and dedicated fathers. Here in the 21st century, we need men who are fearlessly committed to godliness, righteousness and excellence. First and foremost, we need a role model. We need a man with the vision, credentials and biblical mandate to help lead this movement of God. But where can we find such a leader, warrior and father? Pat Williams found him. His name is Asher.

The number of men ready for battle, as listed in their genealogy, was 26,000.” Just imagine. Asher begat 26,000 incredible men: dedicated fathers, choice men of great character, courageous warriors and superlative leaders. How did Asher do it? How can you leave that kind of legacy? It’s all right here. Inside you’ll discover solid biblical principles, powerful contemporary stories and an imaginative narrative of the life of Asher.

| "The Watchman" is a call to the body of Messiah all over the earth to come and take up their place on the walls of Jerusalem. In a day when many call on the name of their god, it is time we stand to declare the name of the One Who is Lord over all creation. During the "live" recording of this project at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX in September 2004, there were several times when the musicians were overtaken by the worshippers, who would not cease in giving Him praise and glory. As you listen, may you be so moved that you will never stop praising His glorious name! The shofar sounds; the Watchman cries out from His place on the wall: "Come and take your place, give him no rest, and give yourselves no rest until He makes Jersualem a praise in all the earth." |

| Since she exploded on the scene in 1997 with her debut, Kansas, Jennifer Knapp has been turning heads and bending ears with her uniquely personal and vulnerable songwriting. Through a heartfelt and exhausting process Jennifer Knapp returns with perhaps her strongest work yet. The Way I Am, Jennifer's third record, was birthed through her personal study of the life of Christ in the Gospel of John. It is a lyrically vivid depiction of the life, and most notable, the crucifixion of Jesus. The album, which Jennifer co-produced with Tony Macanay (Madonna, Tracy Chapman), features a hall of fame cast of musicians (including the London Symphony Orchestra) who have lent their talents to the likes of Sting, Michael Jackson and Elton John. The Way I Am offers intensity and depth to showcase Jennifer's development and growth as one of the premier singer-songwriters in Christian music. |

| In response to Benedict XVI's first encyclical, the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies and Marriage and Family reflects, together with the Holy Father, on love. From the very beginning, the fundamental work of the Institute has been pursuing a deeper understanding of God's plan for marriage and family. In these twenty-five years various generations of students and professors, following the legacy of John Paul II, have been able to discover and communicate the beauty of the vocation for which all men have been created: the call to love. ' Twenty-six professors from the Institute's various sessions express what in their understanding are the main themes of the document, approaching the topics raised by the Holy Father with different theological and philosophical perspectives; by so doing they have highlighted the significance and fecundity of the lines of thought suggested by the Pope. This book is offered as a path towards a fuller understanding of the profundity and richness of the love with which God fills us and wants us to communicate in our turn. |

| This book explores in depth six Gospel scenes so as to discover in these the essential elements of Christian discipleship. It describes the basic requirements for receiving the Word of God effectively in our hearts: namely, that we “become wet clay in God's hands�, so that God can impress upon us any form he chooses. It also contemplates the vital position of the Mother of the Lord in the life of his disciples. The author shows that the call to discipleship is above all an invitation to intimate companionship with Jesus, as we read in Mark: “Jesus called to him those whom he desired- in order that they might be with him� (3:14-15). What we normally call the “active apostolate� can never be an end in itself, but only the fruits of a life of prayer and adoration. These are what must be at the heart of a disciple's life, which can never be swept up by mere activism. “A treasure for Christians who want to be Jesus' disciples from the core of their heart. I warmly recommend this book as a guide to true discipleship and engaged Gospel-reading.� "Cardinal Christoph Schonborn, Editor, Catechism of the Catholic Church Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis, a professor of Theology at the University of San Francisco, is the author of Fire of Mercy: Heart of the Word |

| In the pre-Christian world, children were slain on pagan altars, and now, in the post-Christian world of the affluent West, children are again the object of adult hostility. In the U.S.A. the abuse of children has been called a "national emergency", while in almost every country on earth the killing of children still unborn has become an ideology of "choice". In this challenging book, John Saward examines the work of several Roman Catholic writers, including St. Thorase of Lisieux, G. K. Chesterton, Charles Peguy, Georges Bernanos and Hans Urs von Balthasar who rose up in defense and celebration of childhood. This is a ground-breaking work in the theology of childhood and the analysis of modernity. "The clarity of Saward's style, the bounty of his sources, and the profundity of his topic"the sacredness of human life, especially the life of the child"make The Way of the Lamb a tour de force of insight and perspicacity necessary for us all. I highly recommend it." "John Cardinal O'Connor , Archbishop of New York "One of the most original and insightful books of recent years. A singular beauty and intellectual passion describes the elegance of spiritual childhood and the terrible darkness of a world at war against children. Saward's account of St. Therese of Lisieux is superior to anything written about that new Doctor." "Fr. George William Rutler, Author, Crisis of Saints |

| Jesus was not afraid to shake people up. He spoke openly of their sinful nature and the righteousness of God. He forced people to confront their sin head-on, and He brought them face-to-face with their need for salvation — because He loved them. Who do you know who isn't saved? If they died tonight, where would they spend eternity? Do you care? If so, what are you doing to help them? The Way of the Master will put a great tool into your hand and will teach you how to share the message of the gospel simply, biblically, and without fear — the way Jesus did! You will become equipped to confidently lead anyone — friend, family member, coworker, neighbor, or stranger on the street — to a clear understanding of repentance and what it means to be a true and active follower of Jesus Christ. |

| I can fix it. I don't need directions. I can figure this out on my own. These thoughts that erupt from a man's bravado, from his deep urge to be real man. Yet underneath this, there is a louder voice countering, You can't. You're not capable. You're weak. Many men-possibly all men-face two looming questions at some point in their life. What does it mean to be a man, and am I one? The Way of the Wild Heart reaches out to "unfinished men" trying to understand and live their role as men and fathers. Exploring six biblically based stages, John Eldredge initiates men into a new understanding and ownership of their manhood and equips them to effectively lead their sons to manhood. |
