Have you ever looked back on your life and wondered if there were
situations that God was actively involved with but you didn't even
know it? This book gives principles that will help you recognize
God's presence in your life, guide your relationships, prepare you
for spiritual and emotional success, and motivate you to help
others recognize when God show up. This best-selling author teaches
the life-transforming principles he learned when he encountered God
though an unexpected spiritual experience, providing principles for
learning to receive God's love, face life's trials, cope with
temptation, and face disruptions of every kind.
What makes life meaningful? More to the point, what makes our life
meaningful? Without a good answer to that question, we can expend
much energy and experience much anxiety as we attempt to live lives
of significance, only to find that in the end we missed the point
entirely and along the way were deeply dissatisfied. But there is
hope. In Why You Matter, Michael Sherrard shows that life is only
meaningful if God exists. He then shows how that fundamental fact
provides clarity for some of the most important questions of our
lives, including - Who am I? - How should I treat others? - What
should I do with my life? - How do I make sense of suffering? If
you have struggled with a sense of self-worth and direction in your
life, or if you have a friend, colleague, or family member who is
searching for meaning in a world of suffering, chaos, and
uncertainty, Why You Matter will give you confidence that your life
matters--but maybe not for the reasons you think.
With his signature engaging style and straightforward wisdom, Craig
Groeschel--New York Times bestselling author, pastor, and
counselor--delivers a powerful guide to breaking free of destructive
thought patterns and renewing our minds for a bright and purposeful
future.
Are your thoughts out of control--just like your life? Do you long to
break free from the spiral of destructive thinking? Let God's truth
become your battle plan to win the war in your mind!
We've all tried to think our way out of bad habits and unhealthy
thought patterns, only to find ourselves stuck with an out-of-control
mind and off-track daily life. Pastor and New York Times bestselling
author Craig Groeschel understands deeply this daily battle against
self-doubt and negative thinking, and in this powerful new book he
reveals the strategies he's discovered to change your mind and your
life for the long-term.
Drawing upon Scripture and the latest findings of brain science,
Groeschel lays out four practical and transformative strategies that
will enable you to change your thinking and transform your life:
- Remove the lies you believe and replace them with truth
- Rewire your brain and learn exercises to renew your mind
- Reframe your mind and restore a healthy perspective
- Revive your soul through prayer and praise and reclaim your
life
God has something better for your life than your old ways of thinking.
It's time to change your mind so God can change your life.
Ruth Haley Barton's award-winning, practical introduction to the
spiritual practice of silence and solitude is an invitation to you
to journey into the real presence of God and hear and his voice.
Much of the Christian faith is about words - preaching, teaching,
talking with others. But the hectic demands and noise of daily
modern life can drown out God's words, and keep us from fully
meeting him. Taking the story of Elijah the prophet as inspiration
and example, Invitation to Solitude and Silence explores the power
of quietness and stillness in connecting with God. Filled with
practical exercises that draw on Ruth's own experience, it
encourages and challenges us to rethink how we see silence and
solitude and to use them to invite God deeper into our lives.
Invitation to Solitude and Silence is ideal for anyone looking for
spiritual disciplines to help them connect more fully with God and
practices to aid their spiritual formation. Ruth's gentle wisdom
will expand your idea of what prayer can be, and help you find time
to rest and renew your faith so that your relationship with God is
strengthened. Helpful and hopeful, this book is a reminder that God
does not push himself where he is not wanted but waits for us to
respond from the depths of our desire. Will you say yes?
