We all have times when we feel trapped by life. A world of
dysfunction seems to hem us in on every side as our hearts yearn
for horizons that seem just beyond our grasp. We search for
pathways forward we just can't seem to find. But, as Derek Webster
demonstrates, God wants to lead us to health. How do we do that?
Viewed through the lens of the familiar Old Testament Bible story
of Joseph, Your Mess, God's Masterpiece shows us a way to journey
from trapped to triumphant living. This book will help you move
from the mess you're stuck in, to become the masterpiece God longs
for you to be.
A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between
disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps
you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation
to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not
enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to
say this, but God's not enough for me either." Whether or not we
attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith
is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live.
We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next
experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal
we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for
Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to
introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas:
history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught
between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but
can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal
struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if
there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide?
What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and
loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place
of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us
that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the
presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an
involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for
Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only
promises that never disappoint.

“Moet ek eers wag tot ek dood is voordat ek God se wil verstaan?” So
begin Stephan Joubert sy boek God se wil vir jou lewe.
Op sy unieke manier doen Stephan Joubert ’n diepgaande ondersoek na
hierdie vraag om vas te stel hoe ons nou al God se wil kan ken. Die
boek is verdeel in twee dele:
• Deel 1 is 9 hoofstukke waarin Stephan onder andere kyk na die
misterie van God se wil, Jesus as die gesig van God se wil, reëls oor
God se wil en vensters op God se wil.
• Deel 2 is 31 Bybelstudies, vir individue of groepe, wat die
verskillende fasette van God se wil bekyk, waaronder: Verander God se
wil my in ’n robot?, Mag ek vrae vra oor God se wil? en vele meer.
God se wil vir jou lewe wys dat God se wil vir ons duidelik in die
Bybel gegee word en dat ons dus nie tot ons dood hoef te wag om dit te
verstaan nie. Dit is moontlik om elke dag in blydskap en volkome binne
God se wil te leef.

You Are Capable of Far More Than You Know

• Identify and enhance your thinking style and mindset
• Unlock the resilience-boosting power of positive emotion
• Replace overwhelm and regret with clarity and contentment

and joy.
Pastor of Angelus Temple and the Dream Center, founder Matthew
Barnett leads participants on a six-week learning experience to
understand how simple it is to make a lasting impact on their
world. It is not as daunting as we might think. World-changers
start with a heart open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and a
willingness to do as he asks. Ideal for small groups, Bible
studies, and church classes, this kit includes a copy of the book
One Small Step, a DVD with an in-depth video for each session, and
a participant's guide to help members hear the Holy Spirit's voice
and obey his nudges. Also included are small step activities to
participate in, throughout the study and beyond. Boldly embrace the
life-changing adventure of becoming the hands and feet of Jesus to
the people right outside your front door. You will soon discover
that "random acts of kindness" are not so random after all.
Jou program is oorvol. Jy het skaars energie vir jou werk. Hoe kan jy
nog elke dag vir Christus leef en sy teenwoordigheid in jou lewe ervaar?
Om in hierdie chaotiese tyd vas te hou aan jou geloof, verg die regte
ingesteldheid en fokus. Die wêreld gaan jou beslis nie hiermee help nie
– inteendeel.
In Gereed vir vandag wys Stephan Joubert jou in 365 dagstukke hoe ’n
paar eenvoudige besluite jou denke kan teruglei na die eenvoudige
Bybelse opdragte van vertroue, dankbaarheid, liefhê en respek. Deur
hierdie en ander beginsels in jou dag-tot-dag-lewe toe te pas, word jou
las ligter, die waarheid duideliker en ’n lewe van diens haalbaar.
Jy sal vryer kan asemhaal en elke dag aandurf met die krag en moed wat
slegs van God af kom.
Start each day on a positive and inspiring note with 366 refreshing
devotions especially for women. When the Day Breaks will help you
deepen your relationship with God and encourage you to be a shining
light, reflecting His image to others throughout the day. As you make
time to meet with God in the early morning, let the sunrise remind you
of what Jesus did when He rose as the Sun of Righteousness in our
midst. This hardcover devotional is beautifully designed, and a ribbon
marker allows you to mark your progress through the book.
