Each moment that you’re given is a precious gift from God. You can
choose to have a thankful attitude and live each moment full of joy,
simply because God is good. In The Power of Thank You: Discover The Joy
Of Gratitude, renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling
author Joyce Meyer encourages us to take a look at ourselves and the
importance of being thankful.
Living life with a heart of gratitude for who God is and what He has
done lifts your burdens and allows you to see everything in a different
light. Regularly giving thanks to God not only helps you fully realize
how He’s working in your life, it gives you a new perspective—your mind
is renewed, your attitude is improved, and you're filled with joy.
Things will certainly happen to you that don’t seem fair, and it’s much
easier to make excuses and feel sorry for yourself. Keep saying, “I
trust You, God, and I believe You will work it all out for my good.” If
you find The Power of Thank You in every situation, truly believing
that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with
the victory every single time.
Trust makes everything better. It's the glue that binds people together. From our families and friendships to our companies and communities, we know that trust is the fuel that drives long-term success and impact. But we also know what betrayal feels like. We know that trust is a fragile, vulnerable gift that can be abused, broken, and exploited with devastating consequences.
In The Trust Protocol, Mac Richard challenges conventional wisdom with biblical insights, humor, and passion as he explains how to
- process the pain of betrayal
- prioritize relationships and work
- discern who to trust
- decide when and how to move on
- deploy trust in even the harshest environments
- develop active integrity
The Trust Protocol provides a clear path not just to manage these tensions but to embrace them in order to experience the genuine connectedness and effectiveness we're created for.
Words of Caution for Those Who Think They're Beyond Temptation Too
many Christians, especially those in ministry, believe they are
untouchable--that they're too faithful to fall or too spiritual to
give in to temptation. They deny any sort of weakness, fail to draw
proper boundaries, and end up doing the very things they swore
they'd never do. Pastor and author Brittany Rust was one such
person--until she found herself in the middle of moral failure and
a church-wide scandal. Bewildered, humiliated, and ashamed, she
thought she was beyond redemption. But God's grace met her on the
ground, and here she shares what she's learned through her painful
journey. She unravels the myth of being untouchable, showing how we
start to believe the lie, and how we can protect ourselves from
temptation. Ultimately she shows that to truly flourish in life,
you must be willing to admit weakness--and that no one is beyond
God's redeeming love.
