Is it possible that behind what is taking place in America and the world lies a mystery that goes back to the gods of the ancient world…and that they now have returned?

The Return of the Gods is the most explosive book Jonathan Cahn has ever written. It is so explosive and so revealing that no description here could do it justice. Jonathan Cahn is known for revealing the stunning mysteries, many from ancient times, that lie behind and are playing out in the events of our times. But with The Return of the Gods, Cahn takes this to an entirely new level and dimension. Cahn takes the reader on a journey from an ancient parable, the ancient inscriptions in Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia that become the puzzle pieces behind what is taking place in our world to this day, specifically in America.

The mystery involves the gods. Who are they? What are they? And is it possible that these beings, whose origins are from ancient times, are the unseen catalysts of modern culture?

The Return of the Gods is not only one of the most explosive books you’ll ever read but also one of the most profound. It will reveal the most stunning secrets and truths behind what is happening before your eyes in America and the nations. You will see things, even in your world, in a whole new light. With such chapters as “The House of Spirits,” “The Avatar,” “The Masters,” “The Deep Magic,” and “The Day of the Goddess,” The Return of the Gods will take readers on a fascinating, unforgettable, and mind-blowing journey that will leave them stunned and with the ability to see the world as they never have before.

As the first woman, Eve was also the first woman who had to deal with the mistakes of her past. In a dramatic reinterpretation of Eve’s story in Genesis, Sarah Jakes Roberts shows how the slow seduction of our minds can knock us out of our orbit. Pastor Sarah guides women in identifying the dragons that have taken them down, then encourages readers to get into a new orbit as she reminds them “enmity” is a two-way street.

Everyone faces trials, and everyone will mess up. But past failures should not be the focus. A person’s purpose in life does not change; it evolves. In the same way, someone should not be attached to who she was but to who she can become.

Chapters include:

• Identify Your Weakness
• Silence Is Golden
• Touch but Don’t Eat
• Naked Is the New Black
• You’re Gonna Mess Up
• Rest in Hope

Woman Evolve teaches women that they can use failures and mistakes to break through to their future. Like Eve, they do not need to live defined by the past. Pastor Sarah says, “Bruised heels can still crush serpents’ heads.”

We all feel anxious, worried, or concerned at times; these feelings are common responses to stressful situations. But what if there was a way to put a stop to your worrying before it steals your peace of mind?

In The Answer to Anxiety, How To Break Free From The Tyranny Of Anxious Thoughts And Worry, renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer reveals truth from God’s Word that shows us how to focus on God when we’re feeling anxious or unsettled. She also teaches readers practical steps based on Scripture that we can take when we need to face our fears and resolve all of our anxieties.

God doesn’t want you to live with worry and anxiety. And when you understand that He has a good plan for you, you can experience the life-changing peace He offers. Join Joyce on this journey to overcome anxiety and discover how you can have a God-centered, peace-filled life you enjoy every day.

Ruth's life is a journey of transformation. As you follow Ruth's life in Rise Strong: Finding your Purpose in Life's Crises, you will discover the hope available to every woman.

Although Ruth's story is full of collisions, she never lets her past define her. Instead, the most painful time in her life turns out to be her most pivotal and leads her to a destiny more wonderful than she could ever have imagined.

For many women, the struggles and disappointments they experience keep them from being their true selves and becoming who they could be.

Trust is the fuel for all of life. We are wired biologically, neurologically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically to trust. Trust is the currency that drives every relationship, beginning with the foundational bond between infants and their mothers, extending to the trust networks that undergird every human endeavor – art, science, commerce – and binding together every relationship we have ever had or ever will have. Nothing in our world works without trust.

It is tempting to think that trust is simple, that we should be able to spot a lack of trustworthiness relatively easily. But we all have our stories about misplaced trust. We either missed clear or subtle warning signs or there just were not any warning signs to see. Everything looked good on the surface, and maybe it was. But we got burned anyway.

And sometimes we struggle to earn and keep the trust of those around us when trust bonds fail to form or are broken. When trust breaks down, so does our ability to move forward.

In Trust, Knowing When To Give It, When To Withhold It, How To Earn It And How To Fix It When It Gets Broken, Dr. Cloud explores the five foundational aspects of trust that must be present for any relationship to function successfully and helps us to understand how to implement them. He also guides us through the difficult process of repairing trust when it has been violated and broken, even when restoring trust feels impossible.

Rich with wisdom drawn from decades of experience in clinical practice, business consulting and research, Trust is the ultimate resource for managing this most complex and fundamental of human bonds, allowing us to experience more fruitful and rewarding relationships in every area of our lives.

Het jy jou geloof verloor of het dit gegroei en verander? Is daar ander maniere om te dink oor waarheid, God, die Bybel en kerk as die tradisionele manier?

Vandag se mense wil nie in allerhande dogmatiese belydenisskrifte vir antwoorde krap nie en die kerk beïndruk hulle beslis nie. Dikwels stap mense weg van hulle jarelange geloof. Dit is nie ’n klein, maklike besluit nie.

Hierdie boek is nie veronderstel om vol antwoorde te wees nie, dit is ’n gids op jou geloofsreis. Dit wys dat daar ’n ander manier is om te dink oor geloof, God en godsdiens. Dit is ’n uitnodiging om vrae te vra en te twyfel, te stoei en teen God se bors te slaan. Want Hy is daar en Hy bestaan en Hy het jou oneindig lief.

In Don't Drop the Mic, Bishop Jakes speaks to readers about communication and how the ways we speak and interact with others can be part of our everyday ministries. Drawing lessons from Scripture and his own life, Jakes gives career advice for those who have or want to grow into a speaking career, but he also provides clear direction and insight for everyone who gives presentations, writes emails, or talks to other people in their job or home life. There will be practical advice about how to craft insightful and meaningful communications, but the heart of this book is really about how we can communicate more clearly to build community and share the hope of Christ in our everyday lives.

Quick answers to tough questions about Jesus' life, ministry, and divinity.

Is there archeological proof that Jesus existed? Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God? Is Jesus really the only way? There's a good chance that every Christian will be asked tough questions like these at some point in their lives, whether from combative skeptics, curious seekers, or even doubts in their own minds.

To help followers of Christ answer questions quickly and confidently, Josh and Sean McDowell adapted the wisdom from their apologetics classic Evidence That Demands a Verdict into an accessible resource that provides answers to common questions about Jesus.

Evidence For Jesus answers these questions and more:

• Is there evidence that Jesus was real?
• Did Jesus ever actually claim to be God?
• What makes Jesus unique from other religious figures?
• Is Christianity a copycat religion?
• What does the Old Testament teach about the coming Messiah?
• Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
• Why does the resurrection of Jesus matter?

Evidence for Jesus will equip brand new believers and lifelong Christians alike with time-tested rebuttals to defend their faith in Jesus against even the harshest critics.

In this 50-day guide, #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer draws upon the teachings of the apostle Paul to help you experience joy-filled living each day of your life.

Joy is not just a "happy feeling" based on circumstances or on things you possess—it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that empowers you to remain stable and persevere through hard times so you rise above them, rather than becoming defeated by them.

In this unique book, Joyce Meyer presents Paul’s teachings on joy into concise lessons that equip you to triumph over the greatest challenges to a joy-filled life. Through these 50 daily entries, you’ll be encouraged to embrace the truths God has given you, truths that will allow you to overcome the emotions, attitudes, and experiences that rob you of joy. Be Joyful in the journey and begin to experience the wonderful, abundant life that the Lord has in store for you!

The Book of Psalms offers readers ways to rejoice in prayer, to bow in worship, and to exalt God for all he does and for all his blessings to us, and at the heart of Psalms, there is a deep trust in God. When you spend time with God—reading His Word, listening, and praying for His direction—God will strengthen and enable you to handle life peacefully and wisely instead of merely trying to get through the day.

With the constant demands and pressures of daily life, it can be hard to regularly pause to be with and listen to God's voice. Joyce's practical teaching format in this 365-day devotional will encourage you to take the time for yourself so that you can fully receive the wisdom found in Psalms.

For most of our lives, we are encouraged to trudge along the well-worn paths of those who have come before us. We learn the rules – in our families, in our schools, in our workplaces, in our churches – and most of the messages we receive tell us that following the rules will allow us to arrive at the lives we desire.

But when change becomes not only desirable but also urgently necessary, this way of being no longer serves us. In fact, in every human endeavor, every major leap forward, has involved a cataclysmic challenge to existing ways of thinking and being. Breakthroughs, by definition, run against the grain and almost always encounter skepticism and opposition.

In this book for leaders, thinkers, doers, and creators, Bishop T.D. Jakes illuminates the pathway to encouraging and unleashing disruptive thinking and provides the wisdom and practical skills we need to evolve our most original and potentially transformational ideas from vision to reality. Through his insight into how our minds and emotions work and through his experiences as a pastor, entrepreneur, and creator, Bishop Jakes leads us into a new way of relating to and transforming the world around us for good. Disruptive Thinking will show you the mindset and the tools you need to create groundbreaking and meaningful change in your own life and in the world around you.

Hoe leef ons in die gewone? Hoe vind ons God in die gewone? Ons raak maklik afgestomp en gewoond aan 'n lewe waarin dit voel asof God afwesig is.

Maar God woon in die gewone, in ons woonbuurte en woonkamers en woonplekke. Ons moet leer om God daar raak te sien en deel te neem aan die avonture wat rondom ons afspeel. Ons moet speurders van die Skepper wees in die woonbuurte waar ons bly, in die werke waar ons swoeg en sweet en in die verhoudings waar ons liefhet en ook soms seerkry. Dit beteken dat ons opnuut die lewe beleef as betowerend en nie net as 'n plek wat gestroop is van God se teenwoordigheid nie.

Tom Smith, predikant van Johannesburg, help ons om 'n paar gewone gebruike as verkykers te gebruik om ons te help om meer bewus te raak van God se teenwoordigheid in ons lewe: ons slaap, wakker word, soek, eet, reis, werk, speel, eet, seer, rus en in die dood.

Daar is geen towerformule om wysheid te bekom nie.

Many Jesus followers are sleepwalking through their Christian lives. They wear a smile, attend church gatherings, and try their best to make it through, but they don’t really expect answered prayers, breakthroughs, or a miraculous change in their situations. Why? Disappointment and disillusionment. The Bible calls this “hope deferred.” What we hoped for did not happen, and we are left with hopes and dreams that are dead.

But remember: we serve the God of resurrection life and revival!

Robert Henderson is the bestselling author of the Courts of Heaven series, and in this latest book he challenges you to pray for miracle reversals in every situation that seems hopeless. Resurrection thunders as a verdict from the Courts of Heaven, for it is God alone who gives life to the dead.

This powerful new book will show you how to:

• Discover the Seven Secrets to seeing dead things revived in your life
• Identify the spirit of sabotage in your life - and cancel its influence
• Make Lazarus Decrees over those situations that Jesus wants to resurrect and revive
• Dismantle the spirit of death—and stop it from impacting every area of your life
• Receive stirring biblical examples of resurrection power released into impossible situations
• Break off the pain of disappointment and position yourself for answered prayer

Resurrection is not a one-time event; it should be the default setting of the Christian life. We are filled with Jesus’ resurrection life and power! We have been commissioned by the resurrected Jesus to see His supernatural miracle power reverse any plan of the enemy that has sought to steal, kill, and destroy.
