Holy Fools: Following Jesus with Reckless Abandon - $15.00
 Writen by Mathew Woodley
If your spiritual life has become bland, safe, and completely flat, it may be time to look to some unlikely mentors: a band of "holy fools" who are unabashedly ragged, adventurous, and sold out for Christ. Pastor Mathew Woodley offers a fresh view of "holy folly," an ancient spiritual approach that combines humor, irony, spiritual discipline, surprise, radical compassion, and passionate faith--many qualities that our postmodern world hungers for. The holy fools--from the desert fathers to Christ himself--challenge us with an unconventional and unsettling approach to our spiritual journey. Unlike many of us, the holy fools of old were gutsy enough to push against the grain of society and the church--even to the point of appearing extreme and foolish. But God also used them to ignite the church to follow Jesus and bring His love to the margins of society--and he can use you in the same way.

Post Abortion Trauma - The Silent Side of Trauma - $7.00
 "Somehow we found the resources to save her life, that's what they always do inside the front door. If necessary, racing against time, sparing no expenses, employing cutting-edge technology to preserve a tiny life. Less than 1,000 feet away, a few floors down and one wing over, inside the back door, tiny lives are quietly and efficiently destroyed. That's what they always do behind the back door." (From the Story of the Two Doors, by Matt and Julie Woodley)
"We must begin to separate the heinous act of abortion, which is worthy of our hatred, from the post-abortive woman who is a person like the rest of us: prone to make irrational decisions under pressure, especially when deluged by a torrent of misguided counsel masquerading as wisdom. The one is societal cancer that needs to be expunged, the other a precious resource that needs our nurture and assistance." (From Post-Abortion Trauma: The Silent Side of Abortion)

Restoring the Heart - Julie Woodley - $13.00
 Reverend Mathew Woodley, senior pastor at Three Village Church, Long Island, N.Y. has co-authored a book with his wife Julie entitled "Restoring the Heart." The book chronicles Julie's abused childhood and her incredible journey to healing and restoration in Jesus Christ. It shares the miraculous healing work that God has done in their marriage. This isn't another "how to" book. It is the story of God's leading in Julie's life-through depths of pain, and more importantly, to rivers of redemption and delight.
One reader's viewpoint: "Julie's story powerfully depicts God's forgiveness for deep wounds and brokenness. More than that, it's a real story of God's power to free us from the dreadful effects of evil. Restoring the Heart will encourage those who feel beyond God's love to come to the Savior for forgiveness and a new start."
