"May the Lord grant us all the hope of being saints." Pope Francis recently shared this prayer with the world. We can all become saints. We just have to open our hearts and let God help us. This book introduces a saint for each day of the year-ordinary people who made the choice to love Jesus and give their lives to him. These stories, prayers, and suggestions for becoming holy are designed with our needs and our lives in mind. But this is not your ordinary "Book of Saints." Each day's reflection is designed to inspire and challenge you to become who God intends for you to become. We can do this. But we need the help of the saints!

Are you in a season of life where every search for direction, encouragement, or fulfillment seems to come up empty? You thought God had you in a place to thrive and grow, but you are ready to call it quits. There has to be something better. You don't need a new garden; you just need to learn how to dig! In Acres of Diamonds, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin helps you discover the unfathomable riches Jesus Christ has for you. Rather than chase after a better life, you can celebrate the untold spiritual provision to be found even in the midst of spiritual deprivation. Readers will learn to cherish where God has placed them as they uncover the hidden potential within their families, jobs, ministries, and communities . . . right where they are.

In the Lord I Take Refuge invites readers to experience the Psalms in a new and refreshing way, featuring devotional content written by Dane Ortlund.

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. But in our private lives of devotion, have we been happy to simply read the words, rather than let them become flesh in our action and experience? GOD 360 DEGREES is a revolution in devotions. Read it and you may find yourself praying for your area from a multi-storey car park, or sharing your lawnmower with another family, or washing your friend's car as you follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Step into the story of God and take God's story into your present. Each of these 120 devotions contains biblical exegesis and an experience to give it a context or an active outworking. Knowing grows in the doing. If you actually get off the couch, Andy Flannagan guarantees that this book will change your life as it has changed his.

Our world needs courageous leaders who will recognize the need for God-motivated action and follow through with a God-led plan.

Whether your vision for change is local or global, simple or complex, for your home, business, or ministry, Courageous Leaders will help you remain on a true course and reach the goal set before you.

A great hands-on guide book for strategic planning.
