Do you ever get a glimpse of yourself that is exactly who you want to
be, but always seems just out of reach? The happier, kinder, less
stressed, more courageous you? The ideal version of you isn't imaginary
at all. It's actually the authentic you trying to break through. And
it’s not a future version of yourself you have to chase. The true you
may be new to you, but it’s not new to God. It's the you he knew all
along.
In Do the New You, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Steven
Furtick speaks directly to the challenge of living out your God-given
identity and calling. He explores and unpacks six practical mindsets
everyone can adopt to get from who you are today to where God is taking
you.
These six statements are truths you can speak over yourself any time
and anywhere:
• I’m not stuck unless I stop
• Christ is in me. I am enough
• With God there's always a way and by faith I will find it
• God is not against me, but he's in it with me, working through me,
fighting for me.
• My joy is my job
• God has given me everything I need for the season I’m in
These simple, powerful, memorable phrases will shift your focus,
feelings, and actions to align with God’s vision of you. God isn’t just
calling you to do you. He’s calling you to do the new you—the unique
and powerful person he created you to be.
Have you forgotten how wondrous life can be? Christopher de Vinck
offers a timeless collection of wisdom on family, childhood, God,
love, compassion, buttered toast, snowmen, Hamlet, Bugs Bunny,
bees. For anyone who is caught up in the hustle and bustle of life,
weary and perhaps a little jaded by all that seems wrong in the
world, this is a book that helps us to see again. In essays that
are warm, evocative, and often amusing, Christopher De Vinck gives
us back the eyes of a child, the fresh vision of delight, and a
renewed reminder that we are surrounded with awe that we often take
for granted. This is a book about living with a perpetual array of
treasures: the voices of people we love, the taste of marzipan, the
sounds of October geese. This is a book that reminds us to look,
smell, see, touch, and listen to what is revealed to us each
morning. Chris invites us to realize life as we live it, every
minute. Reflecting on the joys of family, writing, and education,
Chris doesn't shy away from loneliness, disappointments and
regrets. His is a voice that combines both the joys and sorrows of
living, speaking with hope and acceptance, and celebrating the
power of simplicity in our modern age. "In his classic book The
Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery famously suggested that 'it
is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential
is invisible to the eye.' With the elegance of a poet, the wonder
of child-like eyes, and the discipline of one who steadfastly pays
attention to the world around and within him, Christopher de
Vinck's Things That Matter Most helps us see with our hearts-to see
rightly-those things that are essential to a life well-lived: A
place to truly call home, friends who sustain and nurture one
another, and the love of a God who knows us as children of great
worth." -Jeff Crosby, author of Language of the Soul: Meeting God
in the Longings of Our Hearts
The writers of the Bible speak to us with their words, and the Bible's characters speak to us with their lives. Their powerful examples reveal the spiritual inspiration and brilliant insight the human writers and the divine Writer intended. Times, cultures, traditions, and societal values may change from century to century, but human nature does not.
We value people whose words and actions reflect their true thoughts and intentions. People of integrity purposely integrate their own thoughts, words, and behaviors. They work at making their own hearts and minds, thoughts and ideas consistent with the godly character portrayed in Scripture.
These twenty-five Bible personalities in Choose Your Character cultivate a desire to deepen the commitment to live a life of unfailing integrity. Their examples teach us how to increase our personal satisfaction and effectiveness while strengthening our ability to influence others.
