Like Reading Christian Books? Wish you didn’t have to buy all of them?
The Christian Library is the answer! Located on the northwest corner of 81st Street and South Aspen Avenue in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, The Christian Library is a non-profit specialty lending library. Like the public libraries, after filling out an application we issue library cards. Your library card entitles you to check books out for two weeks at a time. If you need more time, it is possible to re-new your checked out books either in person or over the phone by calling the library during regular operating hours or after hours by leaving a message with your name, the book title, and its due date. There are a wide variety of books available for your reading enjoyment. From fiction (including the complete Left Behind series), biographies, children’s and youth books, learning/study materials on a wide variety of subjects i.e. prayer, healing, family, parenting, marriage, stewardship, witnessing etc. Looking for information on how to start a Christian Library? What about where to buy supplies? A library computer program? We have compiled a wealth of this information from our first hand experiences and resource locations to aid you in your endeavor. This reference material is available in a handy spiral booklet form or on CD. It covers everything from how to start a library, ideas on where to get books, cataloguing those books (tapes, videos, etc), setting up a non-profit organization, computer software to control your inventory and check materials in and out, tips on building location and room arrangements and much more. There are links and/or addresses to suppliers and other reference material sources. The idea for THE CHRISTIAN LIBRARY started in 1991 when I saw the need for new Christian converts to have access to learning materials for their continued spiritual growth and development. We established an operational library as a non-profit organization in 2000. The vision of this ministry is to make Christian books and learning materials readily available to the general public in centralized locations. Christian libraries making God’s Word as readily available as the chain restaurants that circle the globe have made the hamburger.

Family $20 “Using letters and other family documents, Frazier reconstructs two hundred years of middle-class life, visiting small towns his ancestors lived in, reading books they read, and discovering the larger forces of history that affected them. He observes some of them during the British raid on Danbury, Connecticut, in the Revolutionary War; he follows others west as they pioneer in the wilderness of Ohio and Indiana; he visits the battlefields where they fought the Civil War. Frazier interviews old-timers, uncles, aunts, cousins, maids, and a beer-store owner who knew his dad. He pursues the family saga in aspect from trivial to grand, hoping for “a meaning that would defeat death.” “Family “is a poetic epic of facts, a chronicle of Protestant culture’s rise and fall, a memorial, and a revised view of American history as romantic as it is cold-eyed.>”

A Christian’s Guide to Judaism: Stimulus Books $12.95 “Do you have questions about Judaism? Do you wonder why Jews don’t accept Jesus as Messiah? Why Jews are so attached to the State of Israel? Why has there been so much hatred of Jews over the centuries? What you should bring (or more importantly, what not to bring) to the Passover Seder to which you’ve been invited? How to relate to Jews who are close friends or even new family members of yours? If you do, then this is the book for you. Written in a friendly, informal style, “A Christian’s Guide to Judaism is an introduction to Jewish religion, history, culture, and holidays written especially for the curious non-Jew. Its goal is to not only answer the questions that you may have about Judaism but also to make you feel more at home when you are invited to Jewish celebrations such as weddings and bar or bat mitzvahs. This much-needed book provides Christians with a broad overview of the Jewish people and their religion, presents thorough explanations of Jewish laws and traditions, and explains in detail the many similarities-and key differences-between the Christian and Jewish faiths.”

Books and Readers in the Early Church: A History of Early Christian Texts $20 “This fascinating and lively book provides the first comprehensive discussion of the production, circulation, and use of books in early Christianity. It explores the extent of literacy in early Christian communities; the relation in the early church between oral tradition and written materials; the physical form of early Christian books; how books were produced, transcribed, published, duplicated, and disseminated; how Christian libraries were formed; who read the books, in what circumstances, and to what purposes.>”In this extremely well-written and thoroughly researched work, Gamble asks to what extent the early church used books, how were they produced, and for what audiences? … An enormously instructive and provocative work on an original topic. I recommend it highly to anyone with an interest in Christian history and a taste for future-oriented speculation”. — Commonweal>”His study merits careful reading and continuing use because of its valuable collections, insightful comments, and thoroughness. In essence he has provided a ‘companion to early Christian literature’ which should be required reading”. — Robert M. Grant, Catholic Historical Review”

Basic Christian Beliefs $7.99 “One of four books in the ILLUSTRATED BIBLE SUMMARY series, Basic Christian Beliefs provides a quick, accurate overview of Christian theology for the layperson. For the pastor or Bible teacher, it serves as a concise summary that can be consulted and readily accessed for preaching and teaching on a given topic.

Conceiving the Christian College $28 “This book is designed to help those who are interested in Christian higher education explore anew the unique features, opportunities, and contemporary challenges of one distinct type of educational institution – the Christian college. What distinguishes Conceiving the Christian College from the many other books on this subject is its incisive discussion of a set of crucial ideas widely misunderstood in the world of Christian higher education. Now serving in his eleventh year as president of one of the nation’s foremost Christian colleges, Duane Litfin is well placed to ask pressing questions regarding faith-based education. What is unique about Christian colleges? What is required to sustain them? How do they maintain their bearing in the tumultuous intellectual seas of the twenty-first century? Litfin’s themes are large, but they are meant to refocus the conceptual challenges to Christian education in ways that will strengthen both the academic environment of today’s Christian colleges and their impact on culture at large.”

A Christian and Separated? $14.99 “God hates divorce, yet He is not against separation as a temporary measure of mending differences. Experiencing a separation myself, I had first-hand encounters with attitudes, traditions, and misconceived philosophies in the church that bordered on condemnation rather than supporting restoration. A Christian and Separated uncovers these ingrained attitudes and beliefs in an effort to bring guidance, hope and encouragement to suffering marriages. It also urges a transformation of the position many Christians take when encountering a fellow believer struggling with a marital relationship. Although there are a lot of great books on Christian marriage, few come from the author’s personal experience and fewer address the disparaging reaction from Christians towards fellow believers that are struggling with this issue. My prayer is that many will benefit from this work reflecting on my personal recovery experiences from the front seat of the marriage separation and divorce roller coaster. Doug Cook has been a strongly devoted Christian since 1987 and a dedicated and seasoned bible teacher for over 10 years. He has a thorough knowledge of the bible and a vast amount of experience guiding other believers with focus and direction in their specific area of ministry. Doug’s desire to support fellow believers spiritual growth drove him to begin a home church in 2002, which led to the establishment of Emerald Ministries in 2003, a ministry to ministries, focused on assisting other Christian organization with their start up, accounting, business acumen, and more importantly spiritual oversight and accountability. In 2004 he resigned his position at a large corporation to answer God’s call to be infull time ministry. Later the same year he received his assignment from God to be an elder in the body of Christ with a call to a five fold ministry office.”

The Christian in Today’s Culture $10.99 “Each of these three books (“Developing a Christian Worldview of Science and Evolution, Developing a Christian Worldview of the Problem of Evil, ” and “Developing a Christian Worldview of the Christian in Today’s Culture”) is drawn from Colson’s highly successful “How Now Shall We Live?” Shorter in length and accessible to readers, the Developing a Christian Worldview series is ideal for small-group study and classroom use. Each chapter begins with pre-reading questions, and each study session is made up of newly written discussion questions, role-playing activities, and challenges to implement key insights. All are designed to help readers grasp Colson’s arguments and learn how to use the points effectively with non-Christians.”

Harry Blamires is calling out to Christians to think once again. To Blamires, Jesus is not some spongy source of giddy joy. He is the Christ-the hope of ‘hard boiled’ secularity.” -Calvin Miller, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary “Must reading for those in places of spiritual leadership, and in whose hands in borne the responsibility for the nurturing of Christians.” -Pulpit Helps Harry Blamires is a highly respected teacher and author of more than thirty books.

Enviormental Ethics and Christian Humanism $20 “Thomas S. Derr argues that most recent books on environmental ethics are implicitly, and sometimes explicitly, unfriendly to Christianity. Christian faith and the Western religious tradition are accused of an exploitative attitude toward the natural world which has engendered business and economic policies and institutions that have put us on the road to ruin. Derr argues that a human-centered environmental ethic accords with common sense, remains faithful to traditional Christian ethics, and avoids the anti-human dangers which must await if we succumb to the critics.>Significant critical responses to this position are provided by James A. Nash and Richard John Neuhaus, to which Derr presents a rejoinder.”

Christian Paths to Health and Wellness $37 “>Most Christian college instructors have taught health and wellness from books that are not God-centered, simply because they have had no choice. Thanks to the development of “Christian Paths to Health and Wellness, ” instructors can empower students to take responsibility and initiative for their own health, fitness, and wellness as part of their daily lives–while offering that instruction in a Christian context. >Driven by 1 Corinthians 3:16 (“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?”), this practical text is based on sound, cutting-edge scientific research and Christian principles.

Foundations of the Christian Faith $14.99 “Today, teenagers in church often have no concrete idea why they are Christians or what it really means to be a Christian. Statistics report large numbers of young people reject their faith as they move into college and adulthood. Many Christian books for children present Bible stories illustrating the power of Christian faith. Unfortunately, few talk about faith in a way that makes Christianity personal, yet are written so children and young teens can understand. Foundations of the Faith presents many of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, beginning with sin and salvation, then continuing with relationships and responsibilities of a born-again believer. Finally, the book presents instruction on Christ and the Church. Geared for children ages 9-13, this book can be an effective tool, assisting young people to gain maturity in their Christian life. Alan R. Noble is a born-again Christian, schooled in the Word since childhood. He was very fortunate to sit under capable preaching and teaching throughout his life. His passion for the spiritual welfare of children grew out of his years of work experience, and his understanding of the Scriptures. He understands that children need to be instructed in the meat of the Word as well as the milk (Hebrews 5: 12-14). Mr. Noble was educated at William Paterson University, a liberal arts institute in northern New Jersey, and received a B.A. in education, with a certificate to teach elementary school. Later, he received an M.A. in Communication Arts, and a certificate in supervision. He worked as a teacher and coordinator before retiring after 31 years in public education. Currently, he and his wife spend winters in San Antonio, Texas, where hehas worked for several years in Christian education.”

The Basis of Christian Prayer $18.95 “Before his death in October of 1996, Huw Parri Owen, the Oxford-trained Emeritus Professor of Christian Doctrine at King’s College, London, completed three books in addition to several he had previously published. Two of those three have since been lost; the third, The Basis of Christian Prayer, is now available posthumously for the very first time. In this work, H.P. Owen is concerned not only with the practice of prayer, but likewise with its objective structure and content. Perhaps most significantly, he deals at length with the theological and philosophical questions that prayer raises. Proceeding from both biblical and philosophical standpoints, and encompassing as many elements of prayer as possible, Owen addresses the various forms of vocal prayer (adoration, thanksgiving, confession, petition, and intercession), the Lord’s Prayer, meditation, contemplation, and mystical prayer. Additionally, he covers such topics as prayer and belief, prayer and religious experience, the language of prayer, and the place of the emotions in prayer. Combining the analytic precision of a trained philosopher with the insight and sensitivity of a seasoned veteran in the Christian faith, The Basis of Christian Prayer is a unique and invaluable resource for the reflective life.”

History of Christian Spirituality $18 “The new Library of Episcopalian Classics features works by American Episcopalian authors whose books are timeless, prophetic, or of historical importance for the Church. Covering a wide variety of fields — history, spirituality, church management, and more — this series makes available to a new generation the books that helped shape the Episcopal Church as it is today.>This modern classic explores the key concepts and people who have shaped our Christian spiritual heritage. At the time it was first published, the author wrote, “This book is the result of finding nothing to recommend to my students as an introduction to the wide variety and great richness of the Christian spiritual experience. The texts available are either too detailed, too unbalanced, or both.” This situation remains the same today, more than twenty years later.>Now this concise and very readable introduction to Christian spirituality is available for a new generation of readers. Holmes begins with the Jewish antecedents, and proceeds through the New Testament period, monasticism, the Middle Ages, Byzantine spirituality, and the modern period. He ends his overview with key contemporary figures such as Simone Weil, Thomas Merton, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Brief bibliographies of the books written by each notable figure are included for those who wish to read more extensively.>A History of Christian Spirituality is the perfect book for introductory classes at the M. Div. level, for diaconate programs, lay people or parish study classes of all Christian denominations, and for any reference collection. This is a unique and invaluable learning tool and reference for readers, students, or teachers who want a quickexplanation of the significance of a person or idea, or who are interested in a broad overview of the entire field.”

Reading Books For K5 $33.5 “Thirty-two four-color readers correlate with Beginnings (3rd ed.) This set includes Bible accounts, family stories, information books, and literature selections. Each twelve-page reader contains one selection. The Reading Guide in each reader gives parents advice on how to help beginning readers.”

The Bookends of the Christian Life $14.99 “>The authors use an extended metaphor to serve up a little book with a big message about two essentials of the Christian life. >What do bookends have to do with the Christian life? They are a metaphor that Jerry Bridges has developed over the years, and which he and coauthor Bob Bevington amplify in this small volume. The two “bookends” explain not only how we as sinners can be made acceptable to a holy God but also how we can find the power to change. They are thus essential for the Christian life. >In a unique book that should garner the attention of a wide range of readers, the authors use their extended metaphor to help readers answer questions like: How can I overcome persistent guilt? How can I deal with the pressure to measure up? Where can I find the motivation it takes to grow? How can I live the Christian life with both my head and my heart? How can I be sure God loves me? How can I change in an authentic and lasting way? >So what are the bookends of the Christian life? The first is Christ’s righteousness transferred to dependent believers, and the second is the Holy Spirit’s transformative power. All the “books” of our lives are held safe and secure between these two bookends. >In continuing their goal to re-center the church at large onto the historic gospel of Jesus Christ, Bridges and Bevington have served up this little book with a big message so that believers and seekers alike can understand these two keys to a genuine Christian life.”

Historical Books $22 “This book introduces neophyte readers to the basic concepts of history and historical writing and provides a simple framework of events and periods that can be used to situate historical data reported in texts or presupposed by them. Standard interpretative methods are accessibly explained and illustrated by consistent reference to 2 Samuel 24. The focus of discussion moves from the narrow level of individual pericope to larger units of meaning. Because the ultimate goal is to expose the claims made on the reader by these biblical texts and to help the reader make sense of those claims, the interpretative spotlight rests on the present interaction of text and reader rather than on the past.”

The Heart of the Family: Laughter and Tears from a Real Family $12.99 “I have the feeling that people who run perfect families will not appreciate this book. They would prefer one of those ‘how-to’ books, even though they don’t need one because they are perfect. This book, by contrast, will certainly not tell you how to bring up your family, but it might reassure you that most of us are making the same sort of mistakes along the way.- Adrian PlassAdrian Plass introduces us to a varied crew of characters in these humorous and touching musings on family life. If some of the people and situations seem oddly familiar, it’s no surprise – they’re reflections of our own families. With true stories, fiction, dialogues, sketches and even a smattering of poetry, The Heart of the Family embraces the joys, tragedies, puzzles, problems and comedy of family life in the real world. With the author’s trademark humour and stories that ‘entertain at the front door while truth slips in through a side window’, we see the family in a whole new – and inspiring – light.”

Why I Am a Christian $16.99 “How can anyone claim to have the truth? Can anyone really prove the existence of God? Isn’t it naive to believe in miracles? Doesn’t evolution prove that the Bible’s creation story is false? If God is so powerful and good, why is there so much suffering in the world? These are crucial questions that many Christians wrestle with. They are also the type of questions asked by skeptics of the faith.> Why I Am a Christian offers compelling answers that will free Christians from doubt and clear away obstacles to faith for unbelievers. Beginning with the topics of moral relativism and knowable truth, the book progresses to questions about belief in God, the reliability of the Bible, and the identity of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. It concludes with three chapters on what it means to make a commitment to follow Christ.> The contributors to this revised edition are expert witnesses for the Christian faith. They include an astronomer, a mechanical engineer, a trial lawyer, a religious historian, a philosopher, a Jewish Christian, a former atheist, a former skeptic, and a former Muslim–who contributes a new chapter.>>>About the Editor>>Norman L. Geisler (Ph.D., Loyola University of Chicago) is president of Southern Evangelical Seminary.

The Christian Looks at Himself $16 “What kind of self-image should Chritians have? Should they see themselves primarily as unworthy sinners before a holy God?The biblical view, Anthony A. Hoekema argues in this readable study, is that humanity, having been made in God’s own image, was the capstone of God’s creation. Even when we fell, God considered us of such worth that he gave up his only Son to redeem humanity. And in Christ, as Paul makes plain, we are made into new creatures. This does not mean that the redeemed live a life of sinless perfection; it does mean that what is most distinctive about them is the new life they have in Christ. And this new life entitles Christians to a self-image that is essentially positive.Accepting the biblical view of our worth can be difficult for Christians burdened with feelings of guilt. How can such Christians learn to see themselves in better light? And how can others in the Christian community – preachers, counselors, teachers, and parents – help fellow members to attain the positive self-image that is essential to the Christian faith? Part Two of The Christian Looks at Himself offers concrete answers to these questions and in doing so points up the social dimension of being in Christ. As Christians accepts themselves as creatures made new in Christ, so in love they must also fully accept fellow Christians as recreated in that same Christ.ANTHONY A. HOEKEMA (1913-1988) was former professor emeritus of systematic theology at Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His other books include Created in God’s Image, Saved by Grace, and The Bible and the Future.”

The Vocation of the Christian Scholar: How Christian Faith Can Sustain the Life of the Mind $16 “Can Christian faith sustain the life of the mind? To many academics this question seems absurd. In their judgment, religion is fundamentally dogmatic while the life of the mind requires openness, creativity, and imagination. This stereotypical assumption about the nature of religion in general, and Christianity in particular, has contributed significantly over the past century to the divorce between faith and learning at countless colleges and universities in the United States. But is this assessment of the intellectual nature of faith justified, or the academic rift it has opened?>In this powerful — yet very personal — reflection on faith and scholarship, Richard T. Hughes counters the widespread perception of Christians as steeped in narrowness and dogmatism and provides a compelling argument that faith, properly pursued, in fact nourishes the openness and curiosity that make a life of the mind possible. Neither an assessment of church-related higher education today nor a lamentation over the process of secularization, this book is instead a badly needed aid for academics in both private and public institutions who want to connect Christian faith with scholarship and teaching in meaningful and effective ways.>Defining the “life of the mind” in terms of disciplined search for truth, conversation with diverse viewpoints, critical analysis, and intellectual creativity, Hughes shows that such life, far from being impeded by Christian faith, can actually be enhanced by it — but only if Christians learn to think theologically and break through the particularities of their traditions.>Hughes first examines the way that the Deism of the Founding Fathers defines the values of themodern academy in the United States, and he asks how the Christian tradition might interact with these values in meaningful ways. He then looks at four different Christian traditions — Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, and Mennonite — and the different ways they sustain the life of the mind. When he turns to teaching, Hughes uses his own classroom work as an illustration of how a commitment to some of the great themes of Christian theology can undergird both the form and the content of the teaching task. Finally, in an especially poignant chapter, Hughes explores how good teaching and scholarship can be rooted in human suffering and tragedy.>After a spate of books and articles that merely mourn the decline of Christian intellectual life, here — at last — is a volume that offers a constructive assessment of how Christian faith might, indeed, sustain the life of the mind.”

Lost Books Of The Bible And The Forgotten Books Of Eden $20 “Suppressed by the early Church fathers who compiled the Bible, these Apocrypal Books have for centuries been shrouded in silence. Now, for the first time in paperbound book, the reader can discover the hidden beauties of the Lost Books. To be found in this volume are the Apostles’ Creed, the Psalms and Odes of Solomon, and other Apocrypal writings that have become part of our religious heritage. The story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife, of Adam and Eve, of the girlhood and betrothal of Mary, of the childhood of Jesus, are here in all warmth, intimacy, and humanity of their first telling. -”

The Christian World of C. S. Lewis $20 “C. S. Lewis was one of the twentieth century’s foremost Christian authors – at once a scholar, a teacher, a social critic, an amateur yet profound theologian, and an apologist. This study of his writings provides a perceptive and illuminating guide to readers who may be unacquainted with Lewis; a help to those wishing to understand him better; and an evaluation for those who want a survey of his works as a whole. Clyde S. Kilby examines Lewis’s Christian works one by one, compares them with each other and with books by other authors, and discovers and elucidates the themes that recur throughout the main body of Lewis’s writings.”
