A. W. Tozer wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." How we view God makes all the difference in our lives. It informs everything about who we are and who we're becoming. When you think about God, do you imagine a ruler who demands absolute loyalty, or a coach who expects you to perform to his expectations? Or even a virtual assistant to help when other options are exhausted? This updated edition of the national bestseller Not Forsaken challenges our perception of who God is and points us to a heavenly Father who is not absent or ambivalent, but is available and affectionate, ready to shower us with his approval and love. No matter what has happened on this side of eternity between you and your earthly dad, Seeing God as a Perfect Father will help you:
When we take hold of the truth that our God has spanned heaven and earth to reach us, we will no longer be defined by our past but by the love of a perfect Father. Learn how God wants us to experience his unique, unconditional love and to live in the freedom, abundance, and blessing He freely gives.
It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.
Beleef jy God elke dag? God woon in die gewone, en ons kan onsself leer
om Hom daarin raak te sien. Ons kan die lewe opnuut beleef gevul met sy
teenwoordigheid. Tom Smith wys ons hoe ons daagliks meer bewus kan wees
van God in ons lewe: In ons gaan slaap, wakker word, soeke, reis, werk,
speel, eet, seerkry, rus en in die dood. Hy help ons om te sien dat ons
verhouding met God nie daaroor gaan om meer goed in ’n alreeeds
bedrywige lewe in te prop nie; dit gaan daaroor om God in alles te
ontdek.

You may feel weak and fatigued, but that is not your destiny. When you feel overwhelmed, like you can’t go on, He comes in and gives you special strength. Strength that you didn’t get on your own. Strength to move forward when you should be stuck, strength to overcome that hurdle, strength to outlast that opposition. You’re going to feel strength that you didn’t have, joy when you could be discouraged, and hope when you should be depressed. You’re going to have the power to endure, the favor to overcome, and the determination to outlast. He’s going to bring blessings, increase, favor, and healing that He’s already prepared. It’s going to be easier than you thought, and it’s going to happen sooner than you think. As you read You Are Stronger Than You Think, feel a power rising that you have never felt—a strength, a courage, a determination, a stamina. He won’t let you stay overwhelmed. You may feel that way at times, but that’s not how your story ends. You’re going to feel a strength that pushes you forward, a power to do what you couldn’t do before. Believe and declare that you are strong, you are victorious, and you are able. You’re going to accomplish dreams bigger than you imagined, overcome obstacles that look insurmountable, and reach the fullness of your destiny!

Many of us yearn for “success” – a longing driven by a materialistic and comparison-rife world. How to be (un)successful: An Unlikely Guide to Human Flourishing offers the perfect antidote to the world’s skewed view of success by asking you to have an in-depth look at how you live. It challenges you to relook at your longings and dreams, choose God’s plan for you instead of your own good ideas, vote for relationships over relevance and focus on depth over meaningless noise. You are invited to find inspiration in Jesus’ life and teachings. He is calling you to experience the success that can truly satisfy your soul. Choosing to truly follow Jesus might just be the most (un)successful thing you have ever done in your life.
With the demands and distractions of life, it doesn’t take long for worry and doubt to threaten your peace, overwhelm your mind, and steal your joy. The God of the universe hears your needs and longs for a personal relationship with you. All you have to do is listen and pray. Prayers to Strengthen Your Soul will refresh and guide your prayer life with daily Scripture-based prayers and thought-provoking questions to help you.
This ground-breaking resource challenges and equips Christians to think and act biblically and compassionately in matters of sexuality. Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today’s world, and people are seeking clarity and hope. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God’s heart and His work for us on earth. It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness, and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality. Instead of arguing with the world about what’s right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness–your own or someone else’s.

Recently voices have been heard saying that the Bible is not literally God's word, but rather the word of God in ordinary Human language. Sometimes people say that the Bible is nothing more than words about God. Izak Spangenberg attempts to formulate a contemporary perspective on the Bible. He shows that the Bible is a book that can greatly assist us in our reflections on God and in our quest for meaning in life. If we use it wisely, it can indeed serve as a guide. Essentially, however, in the author's opinion, the Bible is not intended as a book of law with which we are to judge other people.
In 'n samelewing waar fronte voorgehou word en ons soos almal wil wees
om in te pas, is dit tyd om ontslae te raak van die behoefte om jou met
ander te vergelyk en aan ander se eise te voldoen.
In ’n wêreld wat nooit ophou verander nie, moet suksesvolle leiers ook deurgaans die koers aanpas en veranderinge aanbring. Dit wat gister gesorg het vir sukses, werk nie meer vandag nie.

Hierdie unieke blik op leierskap bevestig dat leiers God se gestuurde dienaars is. Deur te kyk na sake soos integriteit, visie, leierskap in die kerk en gehoorsaamheid wys hulle dat leierskap nie ’n lyding hoef te wees nie, maar ’n heerlike en vervullende voorreg. Ontdek ’n heel nuwe waarheid oor leierskap en word die leier wat God bedoel het jy moet wees.

Biblical fiction retelling of Noah and the Ark. Zara and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives, and they have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps. It has been a challenge--and it's about to get much, much harder. When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground. Experience the story of Noah and the flood like you never have before. With bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as your guide, you'll never look at a rainbow the same way again.
Long-time activist, author and teacher of nonviolence, Father John Dear offers here the first ever commentary on the Synoptic Gospels from the perspective of active nonviolence, in the tradition of Gandhi and Dr. King. He walks through every line of the three synoptic Gospels pointing out Jesus’ practice and teachings of nonviolence each step of the way. Dear’s Jesus is like Gandhi and Dr. King―nonviolent to the core, a disarming, healing presence toward those in need and a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo and a political threat to the ruling authorities who succeed in killing him, only to push Jesus to the heights of nonviolence through his death and resurrection. This original commentary brings a fresh new approach to the Gospels that will help all those who preach and engage in social ministries, and inspire everyone in this time of permanent warfare, gun violence, racism, poverty and climate change.
The spiritual vision of Trobisch's classic answers to love's questions is reproduced here in a new edition.

This book is designed to help the reader understand and engage with the invisible and almighty works of God in their daily lives.
