Churches Get Online Access to View and Change Sabbath School Orders

Pacific Press® in cooperation with local Adventist Book Centers® has developed a website to provide online access to churches for viewing and making changes to their Sabbath School standing orders. In the past, churches have complained about the long lead-time needed to make changes to their standing order, says Warren Riter, director of marketing services at Pacific Press®. "With this new system, churches will have an extra month to get in their changes plus they can instantly view what Sabbath School materials they are currently subscribed to," says Riter. Beginning April 20, churches will be receiving instructions with their standing order form on how to access their account online. Each church will have its own church id and password. All churches will be able to view their order and most will be able to make changes online as well.  For more information about the Sabbath School standing order website, email  warrit@pacificpress.com or contact your local Adventist Book Center toll-free at (800) 765-6955. The Sabbath School Online Ordering Website is http://sso.pacificpress.com.

Sometimes I Don't Feel Like Praying

In Sometimes I Don’t Feel Like Praying, Mike Jones shares his own personal story of how he left the church and came back. He then shares how you too can reconnect with God, forgive those who’ve hurt you, and overcome struggles of depression and addiction. If you are an inactive or former member or you know someone who is, this book is a lifeline--a powerful way to reconnect with Jesus and the church.  Author: Mike Jones Format: Paperback, 144 pages. Read a sample chapter.

Sure Salvation

Some of us Adventists live in this no man’s land between saved and lost. We think we aren’t quite good enough to be saved but not quite bad enough to be lost, so we dangle uncertainly between the two. Retired pastor and church administrator, Philip W. Dunham has written a book about this "salvation dilemma," offering hope and assurance to all of us with that gnawing uncertainty. We can breathe a sigh of relief. Our salvation is sure in Christ. Join Philip as he studies scripture and Spirit of Prophecy to provide a decisive answer. Author: Philip W. Dunham. Format: Paperback, 160 pages. Read a sample chapter.
