Everyone experiences times of sadness, trials, and pain. But what happens when grief and depression seem so overwhelming that we feel like giving up?

As the founder of World Challenge Inc., David Wilkerson worked with troubled people of every type: students, parents, alcoholics, delinquents, businessmen, pastors, teachers, and drug addicts. In this hopeful and encouraging book, Wilkerson examines the universal problem of discouragement.

He shows readers how to let God heal their wounds, restore their faith, and give them genuine, lasting peace.

Sometimes the big and small decisions in life seem overwhelming. How do you know what choices to make about your career, kids, and relationships? Even when you make good decisions, how do you avoid temptation along the way?

In this in-depth look at the book of James, Dr. David Jeremiah offers stories and biblical insights about what to do:

• When you’re feeling pressured
• When wrong seems right
• When you don’t know what decision to make
• When faith doesn’t seem to work
• When you’re not feeling confident
• When your goals are not God’s
• When you’re in a hurry and God is not
• When you have financial struggles
• When you face difficult times

In What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do, renowned Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah walks you through the book of James to glean God’s wisdom on issues such as finances, faith, and decision making. What does it look like to consider God in all of your plans, depend on God rather than wealth, and put prayer above your personal efforts? Learn how to receive God’s supernatural strength to meet the challenges you face. As James learned, the road of spiritual wisdom always leads to joy.

Prayer with Purpose and Power will help you understand the purpose and priority of prayer, how to enter into God’s presence, how to overcome hurdles and hindrances to prayer, major principles of prayer, and the power of prayer. Each day’s devotion features teaching and inspiration, a motivating thought for the day, and a Scripture reading. Included are twelve specific action steps in prayer.

Reynardt Hugo speel Dr Tertius Jonker in Binnelanders en was van 2011 tot 2019 lid van die Afrikaanse popgroep ADAM. Tog, agter al sy sukses, sangtoere, toekennings en die vele lofbetuigings is daar ’n diep gewonde en verlore siel. Nes duisende ander mans, het Reynardt jare lank gestoei om sy verwondheid met drank, dagga, vroue en pornografie te verdoesel. Sy oorlog was ’n soeke na betekenis en aanvaarding.

Soldaat vertel van ’n klein seuntjie en die verwarrende wêreld waarin hy grootgeword het. Hy praat eerlik en opreg oor die impak wat sy ouers se egskeiding op hom gehad het, en die invloed van drankmisbruik in hulle huis, en hoe hy dit alles as jong seun ervaar het en daarvan moes sin maak. Hy praat openlik oor sy swakheid vir vroue en die gevolge van sy dade.

Vandag is Reynardt Hugo ’n suksesvolle jong man wat ’n groot impak maak. Die pad was lank en rof en hy moes vele uitdagings oorkom, maar vandag is sy lewe ’n ware getuienis van wat God kan doen met iemand wat op moedverloor se vlakte sit, en hoe God ’n storie van verwoesting in ’n storie van hoop kan verander.

Reynardt se verhaal is boeiend. Dit bevat al die elemente van tragedie, intrige, neerlaag en oorwinning, maar ook die heel belangrikste bestanddeel: die krag van die evangelie van Jesus Christus.

Many of us yearn for “success” – a longing driven by a materialistic and comparison-rife world. How to be (un)successful: An Unlikely Guide to Human Flourishing offers the perfect antidote to the world’s skewed view of success by asking you to have an in-depth look at how you live.

It challenges you to relook at your longings and dreams, choose God’s plan for you instead of your own good ideas, vote for relationships over relevance and focus on depth over meaningless noise. You are invited to find inspiration in Jesus’ life and teachings.

He is calling you to experience the success that can truly satisfy your soul. Choosing to truly follow Jesus might just be the most (un)successful thing you have ever done in your life.

"Hoe hou ek vas aan God terwyl my ervaringe nie hoop weerspieël nie? Ivor Swartz lei ons om aan die hand van die Habakuk 3:17 te vra hoe lyk 'n nogtans-geloof gebedslewe, hoe praat en leef ek voor ander met my nogtans-geloof en hoe bly ek geanker in God, eerder as die uitkoms? 

Ivor leer ons om 'n nogtans-geloofuitkyk toe te pas, deur te kies: kies om te lewe vir wat ewigheidswaarde dra, om ons perspektief te verander na nogtans-geloof in tyd van krisis en om te reageer op ’n nogtans-manier."

Mo & Phindi Grootboom believe that God created marriage primarily for the purposes of restoring the totality of the His image in the human race, as well as reflecting His relationship with His bride, the church.

They share the 13 things they wished they knew before they got married:

1. Marriage is a divine mystery with a spiritual purpose, it is more than an emotional connection
2. Marriage today is different from marriage back then, but God’s original design and purpose for marriage does not change
3. Achieving oneness in marriage is 100% possible, prioritise and relentlessly pursue your spouse in total transparency
4. Being “in love” is not enough to marry someone. You won’t feel “in love” every day
5. The worst and unexpected does happen in marriage. It’s important to understand what you mean when you vow to love someone “for better or worse”
6. Never sweat the small stuff, not every conflict in marriage is worth resolving
7. Unbroken soul ties will ruin marriages, you cannot be fully joined to your spouse while you’re still emotionally entangled to unhealthy previous attachments
8. Forgiveness is a lifestyle, when you run out of forgiveness in your marriage you run out of relationship and you run out of you
9. Marriage isn’t primarily designed to make you happy, when you expect that your spouse makes you happy, not only are you placing an unfair expectation on them, but you’re also making them an idol
10. Great sex is neither constant nor automatic, it is cultivated
11. It’s possible to lose yourself in marriage, and it is quickest and most painful way to kill your marriage
12. We marry the in-laws and the rest of the family too
13. Being on the same page financially can save your marriage, it’s about being joint-stewards over resources trusted to us irrespective of the type of our marriage contract

This practical book can possibly help to save your marriage.

Most of us have felt it: that unexplained prompting in our hearts to stop and pray for a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger. Sometimes we dismiss the feeling as a stray thought about friends, families, or situations. Sometimes we are even awakened from a deep sleep with an even deeper need to go to God in prayer.

Where do those urges come from? Are they truly from God? And do those prayers have any effect on the one we're praying for?

In Called To Pray, Linda Evans Shepherd shares dozens of inspiring true stories of people who have felt God's call to pray - and the astonishing results of those impromptu prayers. For those who wonder if prayer has any effect or doubt that God communicates with us personally, this heart-stirring book will amaze, inspire, and equip them to respond to those holy promptings.

Why is it that so many Christians find it difficult to develop a vibrant and exciting prayer life? Even though prayer is foundational to the Christian life, many are intimidated or uncertain about how to talk to God. Prayer feels quaint and old-fashioned to some, sacred and uncomfortable to others. It's not a lack of inspiration--there's plenty of that. And it's not that Christians don't realize prayer is important--they know it is. So what's the issue?

Pastor Chris Hodges has spent years studying the prayers of the Bible and the models of prayer that the scriptures provide for Christians.

• Follow proven, biblically grounded methods for making prayer a priority, not an afterthought
