As you proceed on your path to personal growth and want to gain
insight into what prevents you from being the husband, wife,
parent, or creative person you were born to be, benefit from this
inspiring and easy-to-use workbook by T.D. Jakes, author of the
"New York Times "bestseller "Let It Go: Forgive So You Can Be
Forgiven. "
More than a companion piece to "Let It Go, "this is a guide through
an "exhilarating journey that will enable you to finally reach the
potential you know is inside you and take you to a level of
personal success you may have only dreamed of until now," says
Bishop Jakes. This workbook outlines the fundamentals of
forgiveness and provides the spiritual and psychological tools to
acknowledge and process feelings that may have held you back from
fulfilling your greatest potential.
With this workbook learn how to:
- Sever the chains with which your past has held you captive, and
launch yourself into a brighter future than you may have imagined.
- Break the powerful-but-invisible negative bonds that connect you
in damaging ways to people who have hurt or offended you.
- Be set free to dream again and to pursue the vision you have for
your life.
- Move beyond depression and bitterness and experience the freedom
of forgiveness.
Surely faith is irrational? And hasn't science buried God? Isn't
faith a psychological crutch or sociological construct? Don't you
need evidence? Wasn't Jesus just another myth? Can we really
believe the miracle stories? How do we know that the accounts of
Jesus weren't just made up? Hasn't the Bible been distorted? Did
Jesus really claim to be God? Did the resurrection actually happen?
And what has it got to do with us anyway? The Christian faith may
seem attractive, but is it true? ... And what if it is true? Could
our desires actually be a pointer to the God who really is there
and desires to be known by us?

Are You Ready to Do Something Extraordinary? Vance Brown believes
most men are discouraged. They're worn out and wondering if their
best days are behind them. Vance knows the feeling. There was a
time he felt more dead than alive, but his friends still believed
in him. "Have courage," they urged. "God needs you, here, now . . .
this day." That's what this book is about, men who stand up for
each other and fight for things that matter. It's about men who
fail but get back up and try again. Far from platitudes and pat
answers, these are gritty pages that bleed, stories about ordinary
men who are doing something extraordinary--choosing to live fully,
no matter the cost. Answering this noble call is not easy, but you
will never regret it. "We were absolutely rocked...by the
overwhelming feeling that God is using these pages to awaken
something in millions of men who instinctively know they are called
to be part of a larger story."--from the foreword by Jeff and
Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling authors of For Men Only and For Women
Only Excellent for Men's Groups--Includes a Six-Week Study Guide
"This is a powerful and passionate book, brutally honest and
wonderfully humble. This is going to help a lot of men recover hope
and courage. It will draw us together as brothers. And most
important, this book will help you find a deeper life in
Jesus."--John Eldredge, author of Wild at Heart and Beautiful
Outlaw "You may desire to be a great businessman, which is a noble
goal. But there is an even higher calling--to be a good man for the
kingdom of God. No Matter the Cost should be required reading for
anyone who is fighting to be such a good man."--Tommy Spaulding,
business consultant and New York Times bestselling author of It's
Not Just Who You Know "This is a book filled not with bravado but
with stories of men 'limping home, barely brave.' Vance's
storytelling and John's golden pen result in a feast of all that is
possible when men are willing to admit their need to live honestly
before other men. Then men I respect the most desire and live
this."--Jan Meyers Proett, counselor, speaker, author of The Allure
of Hope and Listening to Love "Vance Brown has given us the
spiritual weapons we need to become better fathers, husbands, and
ministry leaders. His writing is heartfelt and his message is
clear: God is calling all men to engage in a battle--the fight of
our lives, the struggle we were created for. No Matter the Cost is
a battle cry for authentic manhood."--Arnie Cole, CEO of Back to
the Bible and coauthor of Unstuck "This book is a uniquely
authentic call to the deepest part of a man's soul. Anyone in whom
God's Spirit is moving will respond. The results can be
dramatic."--Dr. Larry Crabb, founder of NewWay Ministries "No
Matter the Cost issues a radical challenge to men of all ages:
Become the Christ-built warriors we were created to be--unbending
faith, unselfish in attitude, always honorable, and humble in word
and deed. Every man must hear Vance Brown's powerful message and
then pass it on to the next generation."--Michael Ross, bestselling
author of What Your Son Isn't Telling You

continuity from generation to generation. Today, the world is sending
out conflicting signals about what it means to be a man. Many men are
questioning who they are and what roles they fulfill in life--as a
male, a husband, and a father--leaving them frustrated and causing them
to live far below their potential. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe
examines cultural attitudes toward men and addresses critical issues
such as:
- How can men gain their footing in the ever-shifting
environment of cultural expectations?
- What does it mean to be male?
- What definition of masculinity should men adopt?
- What roles should men fulfill--in the workplace and in the
home?
- What do gender roles have to do with the male's purpose?
- What are the differences between males and females?
- How are men and women meant to relate to one another?
- How can a man build a better life for himself, his family,
and the world?
When men understand the purpose God has given them and the true design
of their relationship with women, they will be free to fulfill their
destiny and potential. Expanded edition with study guide material
included.het.
Richard Rohr is one of the great spiritual writers of our time, and
he believes this is the most important book he's ever written
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.
