Family Integrated Church
By J. Mark Fox
What is a church like that does not divide families when they come through the front door? What is worship like when children and even infants are present? Can a church survive without "age-segregated programming?" What about a "youth group?" Church leadership? Outreach and missions?
There is a movement that is growing in this country, a movement back to the way things used to be as far as church is concerned. It is called by various names, the most common being the "family-integrated church."
This book is the story of how one church has been working to bring families back together. You will laugh, be encouraged, and your heart will be drawn back to what the Lord says about His church as you read this book. It will also serve some readers as a blueprint for change.
J. Mark Fox is Pastor of Antioch Community Church, where he and his wife Cindy have served since the church began in 1987. Mark is also an adjunct instructor in the School of Communications at Elon University, and writes a weekly religion column for the Daily Times-News in Burlington, NC. His columns have won two Amy Awards, in 2004 and 2005, for excellence in communicating biblical truth to a secular audience. He teaches Writing and Public Speaking classes to homeschoolers and is a frequent presenter at the North Carolina homeschool convention. Mark and Cindy live in Burlington with their seven children, two dogs and a cat.

Handbook to Happiness
By Dr. Charles Solomon
This is not just another "Christian psychology" book. The author, in departing from traditional psychological approaches, leads distressed people directly to the Cross of Christ - not just for the eternal life Jesus promised, but for the abundant life, here and now. Dr. Solomon calls his approach "Spirituotherapy", a biblically based program that draws on the Holy Spirit's counsel. Dr. Solomon is the primary "spiritual father" to Dr. Phinney. Their relationship goes back over 30 years - in fact, he referes to Dr. Solomon as "dad."

This book is not another Christian-teenage-girl “survival guide.” So Much More shows how Christian girls can wage war with the world and win. The Botkin sisters focus on how young women can rise above their God-hating culture and change it for the better.
Many ask Jane and Steve why Jessica (their youngest un-married daughter) stays at home and works for the ministry God called her father to lead. Honestly, Jane & Steve adopted the beliefs, these two young ladies wrote about, many years ago. BUT - God brought Jessica to the point of agreement through Anna & Elizabeth.
Today, countless young ladies face difficult problems and challenging questions. While many long for godly purpose in their lives, their bewilderment mounts when they observe broken homes, distant fathers, overwhelmed mothers, degrading college courses, and a lack of spiritual guidance — both at home and at church.

Epicenter is certainly one of my all time favorite books! It is amazing how God uses this man to help Christians see the "world behind the world." This book will most likely make it to your "favorites list." -Phinney
With over one million novels in print, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg has been called "eerily prophetic" and a "modern Nostradamus" for his uncanny ability to write political thrillers that come true. In his first nonfiction book, this evangelical Christian from an Orthodox Jewish heritage takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat, and Christianity after radical Islam. You won't want to miss Joel's exclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian, and Russian leaders, and previously classified CIA and White House documents. Similar to the approach Joel takes in his novels, his desire is to draw readers into stories, anecdotes, and predictions in a way that builds confidence that allows Joel to share his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture as a guide to understanding the past and the future.
Drawing on his experience in Washington, his own exclusive interviews with world leaders, and his astute political acumen, Joel makes sense of the events surrounding the Middle East. He connects information in a way that will make you understand and really care about the world's most important events and how they impact your life--from gas prices to your bank account.
Epicenter is about:
• Change--big changes, dramatic changes, changes that will transform the world as we know it
• Answers--what the changes are underway in the world's most important countries
• Insight--readers will understand the trajectory of world events by being taken inside the governments of Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, and more
• Accessibility--aimed for a wide audience in both the general and Christian markets
• Faith--Joel shares his faith in Jesus Christ and the reliability of Scripture

Ins and Outs of RejectionDr. Solomon's second book clearly shows the role that rejection plays in the development of mental and emotional symptoms of which depression is perhaps the most common. The latter half of the book concentrates on the dynamics of Spirituotherapy and is a sequel to Handbook to Happiness. It is a book addressed to those who are hurting and includes Dr. Solomon's personal testimony. This is the book and message that took Dr. Phinney 3 months to read due to the pain it surfaced. Steve later became known for teaching this message throughout America and in multiple countries - including showing the President of Uganda the Rejection Cycle his country was stuck in.

This book has been instrumental in helping the "Phinney girls" understand and embrace the Biblical concepts of "Courtship." There are others that we recommend for more mature readers but this book is a great place to start with your "Courtship" adventure.
This read provided the foundation for a whole new way of thinking about relationships among today’s younger generation. Rather than building a love story the way the world does (with a few Christian morals tacked on for good measure) this book introduces readers to a far superior way of building a love story…God’s way. After all, God is the One who invented the concept of romance in the first place! And God doesn’t need to imitate the world’s way of building a relationship…He has His very own perfect, amazing, beautiful way of writing a love story, and it is far more fulfilling and romantic than anything Hollywood could ever concoct. Leslie and I believe that the foundation for an amazing, lifelong love story begins even before you meet your future spouse, by allowing the Author of romance to script your love story and show you how to love like He loves. Rather than chasing after temporary relationships, this book challenges readers to give the “pen” to God and allow Him to script their love story in His own perfect time and way.
In this book, we take readers through the “Four Secrets to an Amazing Love Story” – practical things that you can do now to prepare for a love story that will go the distance. From learning to love your spouse even before you meet them, to understanding the difference between mere abstinence and true purity; from practicing the skills of tenderness and selflessness that will make you a superhero spouse, to experiencing God’s best in your single years; from understanding renewed purity to making your parents your teammates – this book is loaded with inspiration, motivation, and practical insight for experiencing a God-written love story.
When God Writes Your Love Story has shaped an entire generation’s thinking in regard to romance and relationships. If you want to experience the very best God has for you in this area of your life – don’t miss this important message!

In the not-too-distant future, most evangelical pastors will have to decide whether to support or reject the spirituality behind the emerging church. If this movement continues unfolding at the present pace, mainstream Christianity will be completely restructured, and the biblical gospel of Jesus Christ will be considered obsolete. If I believed for one minute that this movement was just another passing whim or the discontent rumblings that so often occur with young people as they search for answers to life, I would never have written this book.
But sad to say, the emerging church is far more than a fleeting fad and much more than the complaints of a group of young leaders. It is indeed a new way of being Christian and its objective is to usher in a new reformation throughout the world.
Those who refuse to embrace this direction will be considered spiritual oddballs that are hindering a unified one-world spirituality that is promoted as the answer for peace and that is prophesied about in the Bible. I know these sound like preposterous concerns. How could a movement that seems so unorganized and mismanaged do so much damage? The answer to that is the reason I wrote this book. For behind this new kind of worship, this new kind of church is a strategic apostasy and maneuver by the prince of this world, the enemy of our souls, to literally take apart the faith of millions—it will be nothing less than faith undone.

Walid Shoebat
I have been following the ministries and writings of both Shoebat and Richardson for the past several years. On their own, they have each written some of the most cutting edge material that I have studied in quite some time. Together, they are simply unparalleled. As a student of history and Bible prophecy, I can confidently say that these two men are on the absolute cutting edge of what God is saying to the Churches today.
In God's War on Terror, Shoebat and Richardson provide the readers with such abundant research that one needs to read the book in very small portions in order to process all of the information. Presenting the case for a Muslim Anti-Christ versus an European Anti-Christ, this book leaves virtually no rock or leaf unturned. Delving deeply into numerous Old Testament passages that most prophecy books never even touch, multiple new insights are presented that are so abundant and so striking that one wonders how they could have been ignored for so long. The book concludes by bringing in numerous developing stories from around the world that are somewhat flying under the radar that substantiate all that the authors are arguing for throughout the book. This book will unquestionably go down as one of the most influential and world changing books of recent decades. Five stars is not enough to express how excellent this book is. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.

By Dr. Voddie Baucham
More teens are turning away from the faith than ever before: it is estimated that 75 to 88% of Christian teens walk away from Christianity by the end of their freshman year of college. Something must be done. Family Driven Faith equips Christian parents with the tools they need to raise children biblically in a post-Christian, anti-family society. Voddie Baucham, who with his wife has overcome a multi-generational legacy of broken and dysfunctional homes, shows that God has not left us alone in raising godly children. He has given us timeless precepts and principles for multi-generational faithfulness, especially in Deuteronomy 6. God's simple command to Moses to teach the Word diligently to the children of Israel serves as the foundation of Family Driven Faith. Steve and Jane Phinney consider this to be the "most powerful book" they have ever read on regarding the topic of multi-generational family commissioning.

All parents want their daughters to marry godly young men. But which qualities, specifically, should they be looking for? What will you say when that certain young man sits down in your living room, sweaty-palmed and tongue-tied, and asks your permission to marry your daughter? What criteria should he meet before the two of them join together for life?
After spending years hunting for the right book for Dr. Phinney's male disciples regarding the topic of Biblical manhood, his search came to an end when he found this book. He considers this book to say what he wanted to say if he wrote a book on a Biblical manhood. He states that this book is a required reading for any man interested in courting his daughter.
What He Must Be: If He Wants to Marry My Daughter outlines ten qualities parents should look for in a son-in-law, including trustworthiness, a willingness to lead his family, an understanding of his wife's role, and various spiritual leadership qualities. Author Voddie Baucham follows up on his popular book Family Driven Faith with this compelling apologetic of biblical manhood. By studying the principles outlined in his book, parents who want their daughter to marry a godly man as well as those who want their sons to become godly men will be well equipped to help their children look for and develop these God-honoring qualities.

Steve originally got to know Jim's work through his wife by way of a Biblical study she was conducting on Biblical womanhood. The rest is history - as they say. Jim has posted several articles on the IOM E-Community through the years and is now considered to be one of our most responsible theologian types of our present generation. The Phinney's believe you will be refreshed by this book.
Bible-believing Christians agree that it is essential to act on Jesus' words while the present storm of marital unfaithfulness and divorce swirls around us. Yet there is uncertainty about Jesus' commands concerning divorce and remarriage. Do we truly understand the words of Christ (and Paul)? In Divorce and Remarriage: A Permanence View, the authors explain in detail why they believe that Jesus did not allow divorce for any reason and did not permit remarriage if a former spouse was living. This view proposes that the “exception clause” given by Jesus must be understood in its ethnic and exegetical context if Christ’s intent for marriage is to be fully comprehended. The result is a perspective that harmonizes all of what Paul and the Gospels teach about divorce and remarriage. The authors' view is summarized in the following three statements:
1.The one flesh-union created in marriage is permanent until death.
2.Initiating a divorce is never lawful.
3.Remarrying after divorce is an act of adultery if a former spouse is living.
This book was born out of pastoral concern for believers facing difficult marriage issues and for church leaders who desire to express clearly what will happen when members divorce or remarry. Part one of Divorce and Remarriage: A Permanence View presents the biblical foundation of the permanence view. Part two shows how the permanence view works out in the family and in the local church.
