Each of the charming stories explores an African proverb and incorporates biblical principles to inspire and educate children in an engaging way. The stories written by Thuli Madonsela and members of her family, highlight the importance of values like honesty, courage, respect, teamwork and kindness, while exploring the wonders of creation. The message of each story is reinforced by a relevant Scripture verse, a prayer, quizzy questions for further reflection, wise words, and a fun, faith-filled activity.
What keeps women from feeling and being their best? For years, Joyce has been helping women better identify emotional barriers and physical, mental, and spiritual obstacles in their lives. Now she provides another answer: Confidence. Our society has an insecurity epidemic. Women in particular compensate by pretending to be secure--a common response--which only leads to feelings of shame. Lack of self-confidence causes great difficulty in relationships of all kinds, and can even lead to divorce. In Confidently You, Joyce explores the characteristics of a woman with confidence, which include a woman who knows she is loved, who refuses to live in fear, and who does not live by comparisons. Joyce explains that confidence stems from being positive in your actions and living honestly, but most importantly from having faith in God and in ourselves. Derived from material previously published in The Confident Woman.
The world tells us that having a good job, owning your own business, money, fame, and influence are all important for a successful life. If we don’t have them, we feel like a failure. But even when we achieve them, we still end up unhappy, unfulfilled, or lonely. God wants us to be successful, but His definition of success is not the same as the world's definition. The truth is, God’s way of achieving the dreams and desires that truly fulfill us and bring genuine joy to our lives is very different—and that is what we need. In The Pathway to Success, you will discover a deeper understanding of what it means to seek success God's way. Through her practical, relatable insights based on God’s Word, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer reveals how to actively pursue the keys to true, lasting success. Full of rich encouragement and timeless wisdom, The Pathway to Success will allow you to refocus your life and fulfill your God-given destiny as you walk out the purpose He’s planned for you.
Die Profesie-Bybel Nuwe Testament is die volledige 2020-vertaling van die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika se Nuwe Testament saam met 50 artikels oor profesie - ’n eerste in Afrikaans! Elke Nuwe-Testamentiese Bybelboek is vergesel van ’n inleiding wat fokus op die profetiese inhoud en belang van daardie boek. Die 50 artikels dek profesieë en sluit temas in soos geheimenisse en profesie, die Kerk en profesie, die laaste dae, tekens van die tye, die Antichris, die merk van die dier, die Nuwe Jerusalem en veel meer. Profesie beslaan ’n groot gedeelte van die Bybel. ’n Bietjie meer as ’n kwart van die Skrif was profeties toe die Heilige Gees dit geïnspireer het. Vervulde profesie wys dat God getrou is om sy beloftes na te kom. Dit wys ook dat die Woord van God waar is. Omdat God waar en getrou is, kan Hy geglo en vertrou word om steedsonvervulde beloftes en profesieë ook te vervul (vgl Joh 13:19). Verder wys profesieë dat God soewerein oor die geskiedenis en tyd is (Jes 46:9-11; Dan 2:20-22). God is in beheer: Hy bring sy plan in Christus as Verlosser en Koning in die geskiedenis tot vervulling (Hand 4:12; Op 11:15). Profesie gee hoop vir ons toekoms in Christus.
Dit is vir ons onmoontlik om God te verstaan, ons kan slegs klein glimpsies van sy karakter kry. Een manier is om God se Name te bestudeer. Esté Geldenhuys het breedvoerige navorsing gedoen oor God se Name, en die in hierdie boek belig sy die belangrikstes, van Elohim (Drie in een) tot El Roi (die Een wat sien). Sy bespreek die Naam self in Hebreeus, waar dit in Bybel voorkom, die betekenis daarvan, wat dit in ons alledaagse lewe beteken en ook hoe om dit te gebruik in gebed.
Is your soul weary? Are you worn out by the demands of life, disappointing setbacks, or downcast days? If so, stand under the waterfall of God’s unfailing love and soak in the promise that God will never let you go. “For God so loved the world…” This verse stops us in our tracks: “Wait, this world? With heartbreakers, hope-snatchers, and dream-dousers?” Yes. And God loves this world so much that he gave us the precious gift of himself. New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites us to dive deep into the heart-stilling, mind-bending, deal-making claim of John 3:16. In this book, Max will help you:
Don’t wait another minute to get to know the God who invented time. Don’t live another second without growing close to the God who is life itself. Today, step confidently into the greatest news you’ll ever receive.
Daar is geen towerformule om wysheid te bekom nie. Dit vra ʼn leeftyd se dag-tot-dag-toewyding en soeke na die ware wysheid. Dit vra dat ons met ons oor op die grond sal leef, in afwagting op God se stem wat ons leer hoe om ware wysheid – die wysheid wat van Hom kom – te verkry. In hierdie 366 dagstukkies neem bekende skrywer Lizette Murray ons hand en lei ons na Hom toe, die bron van Wysheid, en help ons om met wysheid te leef, in ons alledaagse bestaan.

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:
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.
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.
According to researchers, the vast majority--a whopping 75-98 percent--of the illnesses that plague us today are a direct result of our thought life. What we think about truly affects us both physically and emotionally. In fact, fear alone triggers more than 1,400 known physical and chemical responses in our bodies, activating more than thirty different hormones! Today our culture is undergoing an epidemic of toxic thoughts that, left unchecked, create ideal conditions for illnesses. Supported by current scientific and medical research, Dr. Caroline Leaf gives readers a prescription for better health and wholeness through correct thinking patterns, declaring that we are not victims of our biology. She shares with readers the "switch" in our brains that enables us to live happier, healthier, more enjoyable lives where we achieve our goals, maintain our weight, and even become more intelligent. She shows us how to choose life, get our minds under control, and reap the benefits of a detoxed thought life.

Om terug te dink aan sy lewe is soos om ’n boek te lees waarvan daar bladsye uitgeskeur is. Hy onthou party hoofstukke so helder soos vandag, ander so vaag soos drome. Stories oor sy kleintyd, dié kom van oral af – van sy ma en pa, Safira, ander grootmense en sy boetie, Stephan. Hierdie stories neem hy met ’n knippie sout, glo hy ter wille van die vertellers. Hy is oor die algemeen inskiklik van geaardheid, iemand wat sy kleinkinders ’n people pleaser sou noem. Wat van Afrikaans gaan word, weet hy nie. Hy en Stephan, het in ’n pastorie grootgeword. Dis ook waar Andreas veronderstel was om die eerste lewenslig te aanskou, op die dubbelbed in die hoofslaapkamer waar hy, soos hy dit later uitgewerk het, waarskynlik ook verwek is. Suster Lenie Joubert, die gemeente se vroedvrou en hul huisdokter, dokter Morrie Jacobs, sou Louisa kom bystaan. Dit sou ’n tuisgeboorte wees, ’n private aangeleentheid in die veiligheid van haar eie huis. Van kleintyd af word Andreas nie net geestelik getoets nie, maar ook fisiek. Sy eie behoeftes en begeertes kry soms die oorhand. Byna te laat besef hy dat hy op ander dinge as geloof gereken het. Eers dan leer hy om hom geheel en al te onderwerp aan die wil van die Here. Geloof soos ’n mosterdsaadjie, sê Jesus, is al wat jy nodig het.

nie: Genesing begin by 'n weggooikind en 'n gekneusde veldblom.

Trained as a midwife, Chrissie Chapman went to Burundi in the nineties to open a maternity clinic and dispensary in a rural area of the country. She had been there just three years when a coup was declared, and the country descended into a state of civil war. It lasted for thirteen long years. During that time, God directed her to work with the orphans and widows. She started a centre for abandoned babies and traumatised children and saw the Lord performing remarkable miracles in the lives of people who had lost everything. Chrissie adopted three children herself, and has raised more than fifty others to young adulthood. Again and again she has witnessed miracles of protection and provision. When the war started, Chrissie, her adopted children, and the health staff were living in a rural location on top of a mountain, in a healing centre, with maternity clinic and dispensary. Every night there was gunfire, and every day people would come seeking refuge. One night, she and David Ndarahutse, the mission director, were sitting praying amid the fighting, when David said, "Chrissie, look up." There were dozens of angels standing on top of the walls of the healing centre. That was the night the angels came. "From that moment on," Chrissie records, "I have never experienced or felt fear for my life." Today Chrissie divides her time between Burundi, where she continues to care for the teenagers in her charge, and England, Canada and America, where she speaks widely about the faithfulness and power of God.
A collection of true-life stories gripped with pain, heartache, tests and trials of every nature imaginable. When enduring these difficult seasons in life, we rarely see God or the good in these catastrophic events that threatened to overtake us. Rather, we are threatened by depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, grief and heartache. Like any soldier in action on the battlefield, you don’t have time to nurse your wounds while you fight to live. Only when the battle is over and you can find rest, can you adequately assess your wounds and the damage they might have caused. It is then you realise had it not been for God, you would not have made it that far – if it at all. As you take stock of your pain and difficulties, you realise He was always guiding and protecting you. You realise just as the cross had a purpose for the resurrection, your pain also had a purpose and you are a stronger person because of it. Everything worked out for your good. The attacks your enemies used in their attempts to kill you, became weapons you get to uplift and empower others. When you convert your pain into purpose, you have activated your God-given power. It is the power and authority to trample on serpents as He intended of you and for you. Charlotte Gilden is a divorced mother of three, an eldest daughter, a caring sister and a loving friend. She has a strong sense of family values and unconditional love underpinned by her unwavering, palpable faith in God. She is a strong, tenacious, God-fearing woman, wise and kind to her core. Gilden has a calming, tender, patient way about her befitting of her profession as a nurse.

His street name was Daylight. But he was a nightmare. On the streets of New York, darkness and violence reigned. Dimas “Daylight” Salaberrios popped his first pill when he was eleven years old, and just days later, he was selling drugs to his schoolmates. By fifteen, he was facing time at the notorious Rikers Island Prison. It was never safe to turn your back, and Dimas saw only one chance to survive: to become a street god. He would be the richest, most powerful ruler in the hood . . . or die trying. But in one terrifying moment, with a gun pointed at his head, Dimas had to decide: How far would he go? Was he finished taking reckless chances to rule as a god of the streets? Would he dare to entrust his life to the real God―an even riskier path? Because that God would send Dimas back down the darkest streets he’d ever known on a rescue mission after those still in danger. Street God is the true story of one man’s against-all-odds journey from the streets to the altar and back again. A modern-day The Cross and the Switchblade for a new generation, it reveals that we’re never too far gone for God to change us―and shows how a single spark can illuminate even the darkest existence.
Women everywhere marvel at those "good girls" in Scripture - Sarah, Mary, Esther - but on most days, that's not who they see when they look in the mirror. Most women (if they're honest) see the selfishness of Sapphira or the deception of Delilah. They catch a glimpse of Jezebel's take-charge pride or Eve's disastrous disobedience. Like Bathsheba, Herodias, and the rest, today's modern woman is surrounded by temptations, exhausted by the demands of daily living, and burdened by her own desires. So what's a good girl to do? Learn from their lives, says beloved humor writer Liz Curtis Higgs, and by God's grace, choose a better path. In Bad Girls Of The Bible, Higgs offers a unique and clear-sighted approach to understanding those "other women" in Scripture, combining a contemporary retelling of their stories with a solid, verse-by-verse study of their mistakes and what lessons women today can learn from them. Whether they were "Bad to the Bone," "Bad for a Season, but Not Forever" or only "Bad for a Moment," these infamous sisters show women how "not" to handle the challenges of life. With her trademark humor and encouragement, Liz Curtis Higgs teaches us how to avoid their tragic mistakes and joyfully embrace grace.
Everyone experiences times of sadness, trials, and pain. But what happens when grief and depression seem so overwhelming that we feel like giving up? As the founder of World Challenge Inc., David Wilkerson worked with troubled people of every type: students, parents, alcoholics, delinquents, businessmen, pastors, teachers, and drug addicts. In this hopeful and encouraging book, Wilkerson examines the universal problem of discouragement. He shows readers how to let God heal their wounds, restore their faith, and give them genuine, lasting peace.
When FBI profiler Kaely Quinn's mother is diagnosed with cancer, Kaely takes time off work to go to Dark Water, Nebraska, to help her brother care for their mother. Upon her arrival, she learns of a series of fires in the small town, attributed by the fire chief to misuse of space heaters in the frigid winter. But Kaely is skeptical, and a search for a pattern in the locations of the fires bolsters her suspicions. After yet another blaze devastates a local family, Kaely is certain a serial arsonist is on the loose. Calling upon her partner from St. Louis, Noah Hunter, and her brother's firefighter neighbor who backs Kaely's suspicions, Kaely and her team begin an investigation that swiftly leads them down a twisted path. When the truth is finally revealed, Kaely finds herself confronting a madman who is determined his last heinous act will be her death. |
