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. One of the hallmarks of Paul’s epistles is the joy with which he writes and which he invites his readers to experience also. He chose joy in all circumstances, even during times of struggle.

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!

Are you struggling today? Do you look back and long for what used to be, or are you looking ahead and have no idea what's coming? Are you stuck in the middle of a mess because life has not turned out as you expected? When you run to God for answers, do you often feel like you aren't getting them--or at least aren't getting the answers you want? Are you holding on . . . but not sure how much longer you can?

In times of not knowing, Sheila Walsh offers a lifeline of hope. With great compassion born of experience and hardship, Sheila comes alongside the hurting, fearful, and exhausted to remind us that we serve a God who is so much greater than our momentary troubles, no matter how insurmountable they feel. Sheila doesn't offer a quick fix. She offers a God fix. Sharing from her own painful struggles and digging deep into biblical stories of rescue, hope, and miracles, she gives you the strength to keep going, to keep holding on to God in a world turned upside down.

All of us feel it at one time or another. The sense that this life has not turned out as we thought it would. That somewhere along the line we took a wrong turn. That our puzzle is missing a few pieces. It shows up in our hearts and minds as loneliness, regret, fear, the feeling that with one wrong move everything will spin out of control or come crashing down. In those dark moments and difficult seasons of life, it's hard to hold on to hope. Sheila offers hard-to-come-by answers that glisten with honesty, and she shares with you a powerful truth: you are not forgotten, overlooked, or pushed aside.

Your story is simply not finished yet.

In these pages, you will discover that you are loved, cherished, and held in the sure grip of the God who rescues us, who keeps His promises, who performs miracles . . . who changes everything.

While the world appears to be in dire straits, the book of Daniel paints a vivid picture of the many ways God guides our lives and world events, providing us with great reason to hope.

As you explore the deep connection between Daniel and Revelation, you will learn how:

• 2,500 years of future history unfolded exactly the way God said it would, demonstrating how all things are in His hands
• prophetic mysteries in Daniel reveal crucial insights into the signs, timeline, and events of the last days
• God’s ability to use Daniel’s faith in powerful ways shows how He can work through us too

Discovering Daniel reveals how the words, actions, and visions of the prophet Daniel can provide you with purpose and hope in today’s chaotic world, encouraging you to live with confidence in God’s supreme sovereignty and love in the time we have left on this earth.

Dit is geskik vir persoonlike stiltetyd, huisgodsdiens én Bybelstudiegroepe. Vanjaar kom dit weer uit die pen van bekroonde skrywer en predikant Barend Vos.

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.

• Strengthen your body and reverse the effects of trauma

• Unleash a new level of spiritual power in your life

It is the heart of the gospel, but it's not solely important on a religious level; the matter of forgiveness has a huge impact on social and cultural levels, in terms of how we deal with the people, and problems, in our lives.

What is it like to carry around resentment and judgement, and what does it cost us to do so - as against the very real personal cost of extending forgiveness to others? These are issues that matter on a daily level, as well as a spiritual one.

Writing with his trademark wisdom and deep reliance on the Bible, Keller helps readers think about these questions in an way that will help them rethink their lives, in ways that point to Jesus showing us how to live in the world - and how we can live in a spirit of forgiveness.

Berdine se ma en ouma kom saam tot die gevolgtrekking dat hulle hul eie drome deur Berdine, hul dogter en kleindogter wou uitleef. Berdine word groot met die idee dat sy gebore is om ander tevrede te stel. Sy beland in ’n verhouding waar sy ten spyte van haar professionele rol as dokter tuis onderdanig moet wees en deur haar lewensmaat gemanipuleer word.

Ná jare van sielkundige teistering begin sy besef dat dit nie die soort lewe is waaroor sy gedroom het nie. Haar ma en ouma Bertha sit koppe bymekaar om Berdine terug te lok na die goeie waardes waarmee hulle haar wou opvoed. Die geleentheid kom gouer as wat hulle beplan het. Daar wag nie net vreugdevolle weersiens nie, maar ook verrassings wat haar lewe drasties verander en haar voor moeilike keuses stel.

Berdine is onseker, maar sy kry helderheid nadat haar ouma haar die waarheid oor haar grootouma en dié se niggie Emma vertel – en die eintlike lewe wat ouma Breggie haar gee.

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.

Haar ouers het altyd beplan om haar die waarheid oor haar verlede te vertel: dat sy as ’n embrio aangeneem is. Maar die regte geleentheid het nooit opgeduik nie. Dan konfronteer ’n vreemdeling haar met die waarheid en vertel haar iets wat haar wêreld omvergooi – Maddie het ’n suster waarvan sy nooit geweet het nie. Verraai, kwaad en verward los Maddie haar nuwe werk en verloofde, verwerp haar gesin se versoeke vir vergifnis, en trek na Portland om uit te vind wie sy werklik is.

In die hospitaal se wagkamer onthul London se moeder dat London dalk ’n broer of suster kan hê. Die gevriesde embrio wat sy en haar man dekades gelede geskenk het. Wanneer Dawson vir Maddie vind en haar na Portland bring, verwelkom die Quinns – haar biologiese ouers – haar in hul lewens en harte. Maggie is vertroos deur die Quinns se liefde en nuuskierig oor hulle herinneringe van London, wat so baie soos sy was. Is dít die gesin en die lewe wat sy eintlik veronderstel was om te gehad het?

Nou sal dit Dawson Gage se liefde wees wat Maddie help om te weet wie sy is . . . en hoe sy haar pad terug kan vind huis toe.

Verbly julle in die hoop is die tweede boek in die drieluik met die temas geloof, hoop en liefde wat verbeeld word deur die lewensverhaal van Andreas Beyers. Ons eerste ontmoeting met ’n jong Andreas is in Geloof soos ’n mosterdsaadjie, en hier vind ons hom waar hy terug delf in die verlede.

Dit is Vrydag 20 Maart 2020: Die huis waar Andreas die afgelope vyf jaar gewoon het, is opgepak. Die volgende dag vertrek hy saam met sy kinders na ’n aftreeoord in die Strand waar hy die laaste jare van sy lewe sal slyt. Hoewel Covid-19 inperkings aan die orde van die dag is, weet die meeste SuidAfrikaners, asook Andreas en die ander mense op die plattelandse dorpie glad nie wat op hulle wag nie.

Verbly julle in die hoop sal harte aanraak en twyfelaars nuwe moed gee. Jesus se volgelinge hoop nie omdat hulle wens dat dit eendag beter met hulle sal gaan nie; hulle leef in blydskap omdat hul wense reeds vervul is. Dit moes Andreas Beyers eers leer voordat hy blywende geluk kon vind.
