“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).

Time spent each day in God's presence, meditating on His powerful Word, builds character, inner strength, and godly confidence to face life's challenges. In Quietness and Trust is a 366-day devotional by wellknown evangelist Angus Buchan offering fresh encouragement for your daily faith walk. The daily Scripture verses, inspiring devotions and profound prayers will strengthen your faith muscles as you draw near to God in quietness and trust.

For many, anxiety is a powerful giant that would like you to believe that your life will never be normal again. A giant that traps you in darkness and defeat. But, you can live free from anxiety.

Knowing first-hand the reality of the battle of anxiety, pastor Louie Giglio shares both practical and spiritual ways to walk in freedom. With encouragement and hope he unfolds the truth in the paradox that anxiety is dead but still deadly—namely, that while the reality of anxiety might be intimidating, there is One whose power has already won the battle.

Putting an X Through Anxiety will show you how to put an "X" through your anxiety using the strongest of weapons: the cross of Jesus. Each day of the journey will help you put one foot forward in the battle, breaking through strongholds where Jesus has already fought for you and won.

Ontvang genesing vir jou emosionele wonde en ontdek jou lewensdoel as God se dogter in hierdie 90-daedagstukkieboek deur die internasionaal-bekende Joyce Meyer.

Genesing vir elke vrou dagstukkies delf diep in Joyce Meyer se eie lewensverhaal en haar reis na genesing. Ten spyte van jare se mishandeling, verwerping en verraad deur die mense die naaste aan haar, glo Joyce dat elke vrou wat diep seergekry het deur lewensomstandighede, ten volle genees kan word in hart en siel. Haar onwankelbare aanspraak het ontstaan uit haar reis na genesing van haar eie siel, en ook die pad wat sy gestap het met soveel vroue wat nie wou glo dat hulle hul pyn ten volle sou oorwin en wat riglyne in die lewegewende wysheid van die Bybel gevind het nie.

Joyce neem jou op ’n 90-dae-reis om jou te bemoedig deur die lewe se struikelblokke om jou ware lewensdoel te bereik. Die Here kan jou pyn genees, en Hy wil dit in jou hart doen. Laat Genesing vir elke vrou dagstukkies jou inspireer op jou pad na die wonderlike, vreugdevolle toekoms wat God vir jou beplan het!

Finding the Power to Live One Day at a Time draws on the Twelve Step programme developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. It has been written for people who:

struggle with worry and anxiety;
struggle with some form of compulsive and addictive behavior;
feel trapped by feelings of guilt and regret and self-condemnation;
battle with increasing levels of stress and tension; or
may worship on a regular basis but somehow feel that their faith has become bogged down in empty ritual.

This is a book of hope—it reminds readers that there are others like them, and that it is possible to experience a new depth and freedom and joy in their daily lives.

Each chapter covers one of the Twelve Steps. It clearly shows readers how to apply it to their lives, and invites them to take it further in group sharing through the discussion starters at the end of each chapter.

Vroue in vandag se samelewing gaan gebuk onder gevoelens van onsekerheid. Om daarvoor te vergoed is hulle geneig om ’n vals beeld van sekerheid en selfvertroue te projekteer wat uiteindelik tot gevoelens van skaamte lei. Hierdie gebrek aan selfvertroue veroorsaak probleme in alle verhoudings en in huwelike kan dit selfs tot egskeiding lei.

In Leef voluit en vreesloos (in sy nuwe gerieflike kleiner formaat) ondersoek Joyce die sewe kenmerke van ’n vrou met selfvertroue waaronder ’n vrou wat weet dat sy geliefd is wat weier om in vrees te lewe en wat nie leef deur haarself met ander te vergelyk nie. Ware selfvertroue is om geloof in Christus te hê en bereid te wees om te leer.

Vroue is ’n kosbare geskenk van God aan die wêreld. Dit is ook waar van jou. Leer hoe om vrees te oorkom en met vertroue ’n opwindende betekenisvolle en doelgerigte lewe tegemoet te stap.

Wat ’n mens van jou eie doel en waarde glo, bepaal byna elke area van jou lewe – onder andere hoe jy dink en voel, hoe jy op omstandighede reageer en hoe jy jou verhouding met God en ander mense hanteer. Maar wat bepaal jou kern-oortuigings? Is dit gegrond op die waarheid? Of verander dit voortdurend na gelang van ander se opinies of jou eie emosies?

When Augustus Ceasar became Emperor of Rome, Judea was made a Roman province.

For 400 years the prophets of Israel had been silent. Priests read the Scriptures aloud in the synagogues while Roman officers patrolled the streets, heavily taxing the Hebrews.

The prophecies whispered of a coming Messiah who would save God’s people.

This novel develops and expands upon the people and story lines in Season 1 of the TV series The Chosen.

The events portrayed revolve around Jesus and people with whom He came in contact, including those He chose to be His disciples and their families, beginning with the shepherds to whom His birth was announced by the angels.

Dit is nie maklik om vandag ’n geestelike leier te wees nie. Roedolf Botha probeer die tye waarin ons leef navigeer aan die hand van die Markus-evangelie, met klem op die volgende kwessies: Hoe lei ons getrou aan die missie ons opgelê, wat is die ingesteldhede, aksies en toerusting wat ons nodig het en watter innerlike transformasie vra dit van ons? Hierdie toeganklike boek sal jou help om die duistere waters van ons deurmekaar tye die hoof te bied. “Roedolf Botha neem ons op ’n boeiende reis deur die Markusevangelie om die hartklop van egte leierskap ver en diep te ontgin” - Stephan Joubert

For many of us, believing in Jesus feels like the first step on a journey that can only get better and better with every step. Then trials come and it can be hard to keep walking. When faced with disappointment, disillusionment, doubt, and death, we may be tempted to turn back. The road ahead seems too hard, too long, too fraught with danger and difficulty. With great passion and deep understanding of the struggles believers go through, Rashawn Copeland encourages and inspires you to stay the course. In No Turning Back he shares practical and productive ways you can experience true and lasting growth based on the promises God makes to those who follow him. He shows you how to apply the truths of Scripture to be transformed by God's power, grow your identity in Christ, renew your mind, free yourself from your past, and become the person God has called you to be.

Fear is the devil's favorite tool in the toolbox of schemes he uses to destroy God's good plan for you. He uses it to hold you back and prevent progress in your relationships, career, and more.

In Do It Afraid, Joyce Meyer explains that fear is everywhere and affects everyone. It rules many people, but it doesn't have to rule you any longer. She will teach you how to:

• Understand fear and recognize how it works in your life.
• Confront those fears that are holding you back.
• Change your mindset for lasting freedom from some of the most common fears people face.

Remember, courage isn't the absence of fear; it is learning how to move forward in the presence of fear. Courageous people do what they believe in their hearts they should do, no matter how they feel or what doubts fill their minds. When you take ownership of your problems and open your heart to God, He will help bring light into darkness so that you can be free.

The True Story Behind the Powerful Film ALL SAINTS

Newly ordained, Michael Spurlock's first assignment is to pastor All Saints, a struggling church with twenty-five devoted members and a mortgage well beyond its means. The best option may be to close the church rather than watch it wither any further. But when All Saints hesitantly risks welcoming a community of Karen refugees from Burma--former farmers scrambling for a fresh start in America--Michael feels they may be called to an improbable new mission.

Michael must choose between closing the church and selling the property--or listening to a still, small voice challenging the people of All Saints to risk it all and provide much-needed hope to their new community. Together, they risk everything to plant seeds for a future that might just save them all.

Discover the true story that inspired the film while also diving deeper into the background of the Karen people, the church, and how a community of believers rally to reach out to those in need, yet receive far more than they dared imagine.

The Reverend Michael Spurlock served All Saints Episcopal Church in Smyrna, Tennessee, for three years. He is currently on the clergy staff at Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue in New York City. Michael, his wife, Aimee, and their two children live in New York City..

Imagine raising six spirited kids on a grass farm-today. Newspaper columnist Dorcas Smucker and her brood live out their days in full view in this collection of musings-picking blueberries while watching for bears, hoping for angels while driving off the freeway, moving into the "thousand-story house," and enduring lectures from teenage children about the virtue of respect. Three books in one, this collection includes Smucker's Ordinary Days: Family Life in a Farmhouse, Upstairs the Peasants are Revolting: More Family Life in a Farmhouse, and Downstairs the Queen Is Knitting. Often slightly off-stride and with disarming humility, Dorcas finds endless materials for stories and life lessons in everyday happenings. As she says, "I, like my mother, feed my children mashed potatoes and stories. I repeat the ones I heard from Mom and turn our family escapades into tales to be repeated while washing dishes or snapping buckets of green beans on the front porch. A story is much more than just a story, of course. It is entertainment, identity, interpretation, and lessons. This is who we are, this is why we do what we do, this is important, that is not, and don't ever whack your brother's finger with a hatchet like your dad did to Uncle Philip." This delightful trilogy includes some of Smucker's best writing. She covers topics and dilemmas everyone can relate to while also inviting readers to explore her Mennonite family's more personal experiences. Her voice is humorous, encouraging, and at times, doubting, but she never takes herself too seriously. As you read, her stories will entertain you and ultimately soothe your soul.
