Courageous
Sep 26-29
“Honor begins at home.” Is the tag line for the new movie & book Courageous, from the creators of the successful Fireproof & The Love Dare.
The novel Courageous, is based on the upcoming movie. The Resolution is a guide on how to live a life free from the pitfalls of regret that others may fall into. Both are available now. The Resolution is more than an ordinary book, it’s a call and a challenge for men to be the man God designed them to be. It covers many of the traps that can stall or prevent any man from living up to his potential. TheLove Dare was a demonstration of how God defines love, The Resolution is a glimpse of how God defines courage.
The novel Courageous, based on the movie, follows four different men as they struggle and strive to be the men their community, families and God require. Courageous follows 4 main characters and the people in their lives as they make positive and negative choices. They already know how to serve and protect their communities, can they learn to protect and serve their families?
Courageous – Book By Randy Alcorn
From the creators of Fireproof comes an inspiring new story about everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.
They know that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, but their children are beginning to drift farther and farther away from them. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them? When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children? - Tyndale
The Resolution for Men By Stephen & Alex Kendrick with Randy Alcorn The Resolution for Men is the inspiring book born out of Courageous, a new film by the makers of Fireproof coming to theaters nationwide in fall 2011. The movie, which presents a powerful story of strong male leadership, is an emotionally charged wake-up call to fathers whose influence upon their children and society is immeasurable. The Resolution for Men follows to challenge men of all ages to become as bold and intentional about embracing their responsibilities as leaders of their homes, marriages, and children. Written by Stephen and Alex Kendrick, screenwriters of Courageous and authors of New York Times No. 1 best seller The Love Dare (five million copies sold), The Resolution for Men strategically inspires men to reconcile with their past, re-engage in the present by taking full responsibility for their wives and children, and then move forward with a bold and clear resolution for the future. Written in partnership with the movie and Priscilla Shirer’s new book, The Resolution for Women, it is designed to inspire a revolution. – B&H Publishing
The Resolution for Women By Priscilla Shirer
Written in partnership with Sherwood Pictures' upcoming film, COURAGEOUS, in The Resolution for Women, popular speaker and author Priscilla Shirer challenges all women to be intentional about embracing and thriving in God’s beautiful and eternal calling on their lives.
Like the men in the movie who resolve to fully accept their responsibilities before God, Shirer explains how today's women can and should live out their own resolution. It is "a defining banner that hangs over your life, written in the ink of your own choices." A woman's banner should be an accurate reflection of who she desires to be-someone completely Christ-centered who blesses and changes things in her world for the better.

Fork Over Knives DVD
Sep 12-16
You may remember the release of the Forks Over Knives movie & area screenings, the well-received docudrama is now available on DVD! Every now and then science makes a discovery – a breakthrough – that changes everything! Most of us are old enough to know that life is fragile. Most of us have known someone who has been impacted by heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity or autoimmune diseases. Most of us are afraid we could be next. It may seem unmanageable to make possibly necessary changes to improve your health & diet. The Forks Over KnivesCompanion How-To Book is also available now, and it may just make that transition smoother. This guide book gives real, practical advice and tips on how to create a healthier you and family. There is even a portion of the book set aside for easy, delicious recipes the whole family will love!
Forks Over Knives – DVD FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.
The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries they made, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies. Their separate research led them to the same startling conclusion: degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented - and in many cases reversed - by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet.
The idea of food as medicine is put to the test. Cameras follow "reality patients" who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments - while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed.
The film features leading experts on health and tackles the issue of diet and disease in a way that will have people talking for years. – Forks Over Knives BONUS FEATURES:

The Blessing of Adversity By Barry C. Black
Most people see trouble as something negative and seek to avoid it whenever possible. But what if it’s those troubles that actually lead to greater blessing and purpose? In The Blessing of Adversity, a retired U.S. Navy admiral and the 62nd chaplain of the U.S. Senate distills the wisdom gained from thirty years as a counselor, theologian, and psychologist. Barry Black offers a blueprint for removing the sting of life’s trials, showing us how to let God use our pain for his glory by blessing others—and how that can actually help heal our own pain. Drawing on Scripture and his own experiences as a counselor and chaplain to some of the most powerful people in the world, Black teaches us how to deal with seasons of God’s apparent silence, offers techniques for staying encouraged in the middle of life’s storms, and shows how to find advantages in adversity. –Tyndale House Publishing SALE: $19.97 (Hardcover) ♦ Regularly: $24.99 SALE: $11.97 (Softcover) ♦ Regularly: $14.99

Grace: The One & Only 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. - EMI
New Year
It’s a New Year and God is for you. He’s committed to conforming you to the image of Christ, promising to use anything and everything that comes your way for His ultimate good in your life. It’s stunning, but true. Debt has been canceled. Grace extended. The Spirit given. We are now the sons and daughters of God. And, even in suffering nothing can separate us from the extravagant love of God. Yet, we have a role to play in God’s amazing purpose for our lives. Though God is sovereign and in charge of all things, we are invited to participate in the plan He has for us. Our responses not only matter, they define who we are and afford us the ability to magnify Christ in all we do. It’s a New Year and God is for you…so chose well and make your life count for what matters most! - EMI
Prayer: Remix
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 trueh. Potent prayers for a full life. - EMI

Finding the Father
Aug 23-27
Finding the Father is an honest and moving book that biblically challenges some misconceptions about who God really and how He really feels about us. Herb Montgomery wrestles with the time old question: If God is really about love, why do bad things happen? Perceptions about God can become tangled and skewed, which can affect our feelings about God and eventually our behaviors as well. This book explores God’s true outlook about our anguish and hurts, our feelings of guilt and what His forgiveness truly means.
On Sunday August 29th from 2pm-4pm the author will be at Potomac Adventist Book Store for a book signing. And don’t forget to catch Herb Montgomery’s interview with Pastor Terry Johnsson on Breakaway 7:30pm on Friday the 27th and again at 9am Saturday the 28th.
That first lie Satan told in Eden--the one that said God was actually a selfish liar--has spawned a multitude of untruths about who God is and what His feelings toward us really are. The human perception of God has been askew ever since, and we've struggled to relate to this God we don't really (want to) know.
Naturally, since our view of God is distorted, our attitudes and behavior are rebellious--perceptions change our thoughts, thoughts influence our feelings, and feelings determine attitudes and behavior. Herb Montgomery goes straight to the root of the problem and sweeps aside the misperceptions of God and His character that cause us to spurn the only one who truly loves us.
Some of Christianity's long-held, though biblically unfounded, views are confronted--God's true attitude toward pain and suffering, where guilt comes from, and what His forgiveness accomplishes. And the question that plagues every human heart is irrevocably resolved: If God really loves us, why does He allow horrible things to happen?

Finding the Father
Mar 1-5
Finding the Father is an honest and moving book that biblically challenges some misconceptions about who God really and how He really feels about us.
Herb Montgomery wrestles with the time old question: If God is really about love, why do bad things happen? Perceptions about God can become tangled and skewed, which can affect our feelings about God and eventually our behaviors as well. This book explores God’s true outlook about our anguish and hurts, our feelings of guilt and what His forgiveness truly means.
One Lie Breeds Another
That first lie Satan told in Eden--the one that said God was actually a selfish liar--has spawned a multitude of untruths about who God is and what His feelings toward us really are. The human perception of God has been askew ever since, and we've struggled to relate to this God we don't really (want to) know.
Naturally, since our view of God is distorted, our attitudes and behavior are rebellious--perceptions change our thoughts, thoughts influence our feelings, and feelings determine attitudes and behavior. Herb Montgomery goes straight to the root of the problem and sweeps aside the misperceptions of God and His character that cause us to spurn the only one who truly loves us.
Some of Christianity's long-held, though biblically unfounded, views are confronted--God's true attitude toward pain and suffering, where guilt comes from, and what His forgiveness accomplishes. And the question that plagues every human heart is irrevocably resolved: If God really loves us, why does He allow horrible things to happen?
