Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship By Jon Walker / Acu Press In 1937, on the threshold of Nazi Germany’s war on the world, Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote what turned out to be one of the most influential books of the century, The Cost of Discipleship. In it, he challenged the flabby faith and compromises of German Christians, famously writing, “When Christ calls a man he bids him come and die.” Now, seventy-three years after the book was first published, Jon Walker writes Costly Grace: A Contemporary View of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s The Cost of Discipleship. Walker brings to a new generation the timeless message of Bonhoeffer against the background of today’s political upheaval and societal change and what it means to those who claim to follow Christ’s teachings. |

Grace [The One and Only], DVD By Lou Giglio / Emi Cmg Distribution Grace. Unexpected. Undeserved. Yet the core of the story is the gospel. Unique to the person and message of Jesus Christ, grace is simply God at work doing what we could never do. Nothing we can say or do can elicit more or less of the lavish grace of God. Grace is the essence of our Creator and the way to a personal connection with Him that lasts forever and the source of the strength that enables us to walk in truth. ‘For God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to become sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.’ 2 Corinthians 5:21. The Grace that is freely given cost the Son of God everything…and ignites within all who receive it a desire to live for the One who sets us free. Approx. 300 minutes. |

Prayer: Remix, DVD By Lou Giglio / Emi Cmg Distribution Bless Me. Be with me. Watch over and protect me. Forgive me. Listen to the way you pray, and to the prayers of those around you, and you’ll hear these four tried and true phrases often—familiar words we’ve probably been saying over and over to God since we first learned how to pray. ReMIXED prayers embrace these four concepts, while moving towards a healthier, God-centered prayer language that saturates our thoughts and words with the phrases, “Let Me Bless You,” “Live Through Me,” and “No Matter What, Use Me.” A subtle shift based on radical truth. Potent prayers for a full life. Approx. 180 minutes. |
