It started with a simple question: How can we help them? It became
an international movement called NEGU: Never Ever Give Up. When
Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at
age 11, she chose to focus not on herself but on bringing joy and
hope to other children suffering from cancer. During the ten months
she battled cancer, she and her family worked in the "Joy Factory"
(originally their garage) making JoyJars (R)-packages filled with
toys, games, and love for other kids with cancer. Jessie first
handed them out personally at the hospital where she was being
treated, but the effort blossomed quickly and there were soon
thousands of JoyJars (R) being distributed across the United States
and to over fifteen countries. Today, more than 100,000 kids have
received JoyJars (R), and they continue shipping each week to kids
in over 200 children's hospitals and 175 Ronald McDonald Houses.
Jessie lost her battle with cancer in January 2012, but her message
lives on in the Jessie Rees Foundation, which has become a beacon
of hope for families fighting pediatric cancer. Join the movement

Healing the Soul of a Woman delved deeply into Joyce Meyer’s personal story and the journey of healing for all women. Despite suffering from years of abuse, abandonment and betrayal by those closest to her, Joyce firmly believes a woman who has been deeply hurt by life’s circumstances can be healed, heart and soul. Her steadfast claim comes from living her own journey of soul healing, and from seeing so many women who don’t believe they can fully overcome their pain—or even know where to begin—find the guidance they need in the life-changing wisdom of the Bible.
Now, in this companion devotional, Joyce will guide you through 90 daily readings to encourage you through whatever obstacles may be holding you back from finding your true destiny. God can heal your pain, and He wants to do this in you. Let this devotional be an inspiration in your journey towards the wonderful, joyful future God has planned for you.
Finding your heart’s true home - This 365-day devotional carefully unpacks the meaning of each part of the Serenity Prayer and how to apply it to our lives.
We live helter-skelter lives; each day we are pulled here and there by circumstances, both good and bad. We feel as if we are living at the mercy of events beyond our control. We long for peace, for a safe, serene and secure place where we can be at rest. In response to this search for peace, beloved author and minister Trevor Hudson reminds readers of the Serenity Prayer—a simple prayer that most of us know by heart:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
This 365-day devotional carefully unpacks the meaning of each part of the prayer and how to apply it to our lives. As we let the Serenity Prayer show us how to live each day in friendship with our Lord and Creator, God’s gift of peace will grow and fill us to overflowing. “Seeking Serenity”—a practical suggestion at the end of each day’s devotion—will also help the reader put this prayer into practice, and begin to develop the clear life-focus that brings the peace our hearts long for.
Trevor Hudson is a Methodist minister, currently seconded to The Institute for Creative Conversations at the Northfield Methodist Church, South Africa. He exercises a ministry of teaching and lecturing around the country and internationally, and is the author of several books including The Serenity Prayer, Questions God Asks Us, Holy Spirit Here and Now, Friendship with God and Towards a Closer Walk with God.

Know Your Enemy and Be More Than a Conqueror
In Your Battles Belong to the Lord, Meyer explains that while some
problems may result from a person's choices or circumstances, others
are rooted in the spiritual realm. Once you recognize the devil--who is
real and active in the world today--as your true enemy and the source
of many of your struggles, you can overcome them and live a life of
peace, freedom, faith and victory. When facing life's battles, there
are certain things you must do for yourself, such as:
- Diligently studying and applying God's Word
- Trusting Him
- Praying
- Maintaining a positive attitude and thankful heart
To know what the future holds, know what the past is hiding?
Jonathan Cahn, author of the New York Times best sellers The Harbinger, The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Book of Mysteries, and The Paradigm, now unveils The Oracle, in which he opens up the jubilean prophecies and a mystery so big that it has determined everything from the rise and fall of world empires to two world wars,
the current events of our day, the future, end-time prophecy, and much more.
- Could an ancient prophecy and a mysterious ordinance given in a
Middle
- Eastern desert over three thousand years ago be determining the
events of our
- day?
- Could some of the most famous people of modern history and
current events be
- secretly linked to this mystery—even a modern president of the
United States?
- Could this ancient revelation pinpoint the events of our times
down to the year,
- month, and day of their occurring?
- Could a mysterious phenomenon be manifesting on the world stage
on an exact
- timetable determined from ancient times?
- Could these manifestations have altered—and now be altering—the
course of
- world events?
Jonathan Cahn takes the reader on a journey to find the man called “the Oracle.” One by one each of the jubilean mysteries will be revealed through the giving of a vision.
The Oracle will uncover The Mystery of the Stranger, The Lost City, The Man With the Measuring Line, The Birds, The Return, The Day of the Lions, and much, much more. The reader will discover the ancient scrolls that contain the appointed words that have determined the course of world history from the onset of modern times up to our day. Ultimately The Oracle will reveal the secret that lies behind end-time prophecy and the mystery of the end of the age. As with The Harbinger and The Book of Mysteries, Cahn reveals the mysteries through a narrative; a traveler is given seven keys, each for the opening of one of seven doors. Behind each door lies one of the seven streams of the jubilean mysteries. The reader will be taken on a journey, led by angelic guides, through each door and vision to uncover the ancient secrets that lie behind the world-changing events of modern times.
As with Cahn’s other works, the reader will find that the mysteries revealed within the pages of The Oracle are absolutely real, amazing, life-changing, and mind-blowing.
God se liefde verander alles. Sy groot liefde omvrou alle aspekte van ons lewe. Wanneer ons ons harte vir Hom oopmaak, word die donker in en rondom ons keer op keer deurspoel met lig, sy lig, en met die krag van sy liefde wat ons omring. Die liefde kom ook in vele gestaltes. Die pad van die liefde is nie altyd gelyk nie en dit kom nie vanselfsprekend nie... Met hierdie boek nooi die outeurs jou uit om die vele maniere waarop God sy liefde aan jou bewys opnuut te ontdek en weer jou eie te maak.
What is the purpose of Christian ministry? Is it about upholding
traditional standards? Is it about meeting organizational goals? Or
is it a mixture of meanings and roles? With numerous ways of
understanding ministry, getting a grasp on it can
be a difficult task.
Discovering Christian Ministry not only gives a concise yet
comprehensive definition of ministry but it also offers a
ministerial vision that encompasses the personal, interpersonal and
social spheres of your life.
Maybe it's time to stop ignoring God, and start embracing him
instead . . .
