New Releases by Mark Lowry

Mark Lowry can make you laugh louder than most of what you''re likely to hear on The Comedy Channel and make you think deeper than much of what you''re likely to hear in church. With his fresh and wacky style, Lowry''s humor shines light on the important aspects of a life of faith.

In Live & Die Laughing, comedian/singer Mark Lowry pulls his wild-and-wacky train of thought into the station with musings about everything from God''s character to church potlucks. Using material from his email newsletter, along with responses from its nearly 40,000 subscribers ("reMarkable,"www.marklowry.com), Lowry underscored the idea that God tirelessly loves and looks after his believers, no matter how quirky we are!

Ever wonder what Mary really knew about her "Baby Boy?" Read along as we revisit Mark Lowry''s wonderful (rhetorical) song to find out in truth what the Bible says she did and didn''t know...about those things the New Testament books of Matthew and Luke reveal that she "pondered in her heart." Then, let''s find out what Mr. Lowry''s lyrics may''ve been... could''ve been...perhaps would be, if he was Jewish, Mormon or Catholic in faith rather than the Christ-following Christian that he indeed is.Ever wonder what Mary really knew about her "Baby Boy?"

A Christian Chaplain''s Wartime Experiences At an early age Mark Lowry was called by God into the Christian ministry. Overcoming early difficulties in obtaining an education, by age forty he had graduated with honors from college and earned a master''s degree and a doctor''s degree in theology. Having narrowly missed serving in the United States Army during World War I, on 7 December 1941 when he heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he knew exactly what the Lord wanted him to do. On the morning of 8 December 1941 he volunteered to serve in the United States Army as a chaplain at any time and any place the nation might need him. Six months later he was a first lieutenant in the United States Army serving as a chaplain in a combat unit training to go to war. His unit landed in North Africa the day the German Afrika Korps surrendered. In September 1943 he landed with his unit at Salerno, Italy, and served in some of the bloodiest battles of the Italian Campaign. With his unit he later made the amphibious landing at Anzio where he served until the breakout from that beach head. This book gives a vivid description of some of the German Luftwaffe and artillery attacks on United States troops. It also describes the challenges imposed upon medical personnel in treating the soldiers wounded in those attacks. Continuing to serve in combat, he remained in Italy until the war ended with his unit at the Brenner Pass. In this book he has described many accounts of the combat action in Italy, including the personal trials and experiences of some of the men to whom he ministered. This collection of short devotional poems and sketches is based upon his combat experiences during that war. It portrays the practical application of the Christian Faith to the everyday experiences of soldiers in armed combat. It is the memoir of a Christian soldier.

The Truth shall make you free! The Temple of Divine Truth is an informative, thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting presentation of several important Bible passages, their interpretation, meaning, and significance in their historical context and in everyday life. It is logical to assume that devout Christians wish to have a clear understanding of biblical teachings. The author''s purpose is to provide that understanding. This work attempts to answer the questions of where we came from, who we are, what we are to do here, and what will the world-to-come be like. The author also discusses our response to God''s gifts and His plan for our lives.

We meet him in 1948 when he is eleven years old and already deeply committed within the separate white and black subcultures. Torn between the two, he advances through a series of life-altering experiences. He goes off to college and returns after a twenty-year exile to find the place of his roots changed beyond recognition and with that the destruction of his dreams and his faith in a distant impersonal government. Challenge and adventure, triumph and tragedy, race and violence, promise and betrayal, love and heartbreak the book has it all. A rich source of social commentary, history, and geography for anyone who loves a good story. From beginning to end, a thrilling adventure by the award-winning author who was there.
