Embark on a life-changing journey toward happiness and confidence about the body God designed for you.

Change is inevitable. And sometimes it's confusing and difficult, even when it's good. We can't keep change from coming, but we can allow it to transform us rather than derail us by facing it and embracing it through the lens of God's unchanging promises to us.

We've all heard the saying, “The only constant is change.” Sometimes the changes we face, both expected and unexpected, can make our lives feel ungrounded and unsteady. And when we react to change with fear, an opportunity for growth can turn into overwhelming anxiety that locks us into situations, relationships, and ways of thinking and being that prevent us from living in the fullness of who we truly are in Christ.

Beloved Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer wants us to know that even when we feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, we can stand firm on the promise of God's Word that He will see us through. With her signature insight and timeless wisdom, Joyce shows us how to align our emotional reactions to changes with the truth of God's promise that He will work all changes for good in our lives, even the most painful and difficult ones. In TheCourage to Change, you will learn how to:

• Embrace change as a necessary part of growth
• Replace a mindset of fear with a mindset of opportunity
• And live fully within the uncertainty of change while maintaining peace.

This real-life story will never leave you.

This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever.

He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth.

His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming.

This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

The local elite and governing rulers eventually tortured him and put him to death in the most violent and public of ways. Yet that was only the beginning...

In the years since, billions of people have dedicated their lives to this man and have testified to his divinity and truth.

To others, he is little more than another rebel who was killed by one of the most brutal empires in human history.

How we each respond to this story dictates the course of our lives. And it all rests on the great mystery that occurred at the end of his life - a supernatural event that he had predicted with utter clarity.

Did this humble man tell the truth?

Could one man really be the focal point of the universe?

Wherever this journey takes you, this is arguably:

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.

Force for Good is a bold and refreshingly balanced exploration of positive masculinity, written to inspire men to become powerful forces for good in a world that desperately needs them to step into this role. The book challenges the extremes that often define the discourse around masculinity – aggressive dominance on one side and passive disengagement on the other. It offers a vision of true and healthy masculinity that is both strong and gentle, fierce and safe, confident and humble.

At its core is the conviction that men are made to be powerful forces, but only in service of what is good. Power, often misunderstood or negatively viewed, is essential. Without it, a man cannot fulfil his potential or meet the needs of those who depend on him. Power itself is neutral; how it is used determines whether it becomes a force for good or harm.

The book is divided into three parts – Being Man, Becoming a Force, and Doing Good – and builds a compelling case for the value of healthy masculinity. It explores the internal and external battles men face, the journey from boyhood to manhood, and the sacred responsibility to grow in strength and purpose. Force for Good calls men to action, not against others but for the good of others. It is a timely, courageous invitation to be all that a man was made to be, because such a man will be a Force for Good.

Dear Waheed: A mother’s legacy of love and wisdom in thirty unforgettable letters is a poignant collection of letters written by a mother to her son over the course of thirty days against the backdrop of Ramadaan during the pandemic lockdown.

The author found herself vulnerable and alone; her son in one city, and she in another. During her solitude, she embraced the opportunity to delve deep into her spirit and found that, as she wrote, a new pathway to healing appeared. The period was a pivotal experience for Farhana Yunnus, as it was for many. A transformative journey to reflect, heal, and restore. She discovered that her letters were bridging the gap between hearts and cities, silence and uncertainty, and the past and present.

Through her poetic and reflective prose, Yunnus navigates the trials of emotional and spiritual growth during a time when connection and comfort were hard to find. She compassionately explores themes such as faith, mental health, resilience, individuality, family, love, and the powerful bond between a mother and child.

Frank Rautenbach left South Africa for Los Angeles with stars in his eyes. After having great success with Egoli, 7de laan and movies like Faith like Potatoes and The Bang-Bang Club he thought the world was his oyster.

In a world where the church is meant to be a beacon of freedom, grace, and truth, many believers find themselves trapped in a system of confusion, manipulation, and financial strain. Instead of walking in the freedom Christ offers, countless Christians feel burdened by guilt-driven practices and expectations that have little to do with the gospel. This reality is particularly evident when we examine one of the most controversial issues in modern church life: tithing.

Believers often struggle with the question: Are modern tithing practices rooted in truth or tradition? In Preacher, Let My People Go, Zakhe Mazibuko delves into the history and theology of tithing, exposing its evolution and often controversial role in today’s churches and delivers an enjoyable and relatable read in the process.

With boldness and compassion, the author shares his own compelling story and challenges manipulative practices and invites believers to rediscover the joy of giving rooted in grace and freedom.

An intimate, vulnerable and, compassionate conversation about the pain of rejection, filled with practical, biblical guidance to heal and move on with personal stories from beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer, Ginger Stache, and other women who have risen from the ashes of loss.
 
In this era of epidemic loneliness, widely beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer and her partner in ministry Ginger Stache offer a vulnerable, intimate, and compassionate conversation about the shame and the pain of rejection and the pathway to healing.
 
We live in a time of overwhelming loneliness and disconnection. At least one in four Americans today are living in estrangement from a family member, and over 50% of us experience periods of disconnection from close relatives. No matter who we are, the sting of rejection touches us. As a child, you may have experienced bullying or even a parent or sibling who failed to acknowledge your value and love you as you needed to be loved. As we grow older, the rejections we experience pile upon one another—a boss who offers constant criticism, a spouse who walks away and leaves us devastated, a friend who ditches us when life gets tough.
 
Rejection is a common denominator of the human experience, and many of us develop into people who view the world through the lens of rejection as our pain causes us to burrow further into isolation, disappointment, and sadness. Here, through Joyce’s personal story of abuse and abandonment and Ginger’s journey of shock and betrayal in marriage, you will find community in the fact that you are not alone, as well as hope for the dawning of new possibilities.
 
In this book, Joyce Meyer and Ginger Stache are determined to banish the stigma of rejection by leading readers to the healing balm of God’s unconditional love. Through facing our pain head-on, learning to embrace the truth of our absolute acceptance in Christ, and understanding how others may react to us and to the world out of their own lens of rejection, we can grow in confidence, develop healthy relationships, and find lasting acceptance.

This book also contains study questions with each chapter, perfect for group study or individual reflection.

You were not meant to live stuck. Maybe you've had glimpses of something much bigger, better, and higher for your life. Maybe, when you've let yourself dream God-dreams, you've seen things that seemed completely impossible. They're not impossible-not once you understand that Jesus has given you "grace to go" for every situation and to overcome every challenge.

In Graced to Go, Victoria Osteen encourages you to leave your fear behind and take the first step in the direction that God is calling you. Even the smallest step can get you moving towards your better future.

Drawing from the lives of beloved Bible characters who felt stuck in difficult circumstances or faced seemingly-insurmountable odds-including Gideon, Abraham, Esther, and Moses-Victoria helps you see that when they trusted Him and took a step, God blessed them with grace to go. She walks readers through seven ways God prepares us for our own battles. When God calls us, we are graced:

-In the strength you have
-In the position you're in
-With eyes to see the good
-Knowing you matter
-Releasing your blessing
-With no regrets
-Trusting God

When God calls us, we are graced with the strength, courage, and gifting we need to face whatever challenge is before us. This encouraging, empowering, and inspiring book will help you to move toward all the favor and blessing God has for you.

Janet Hodgson traces the life of Xhosa prophet Ntsikana (1780–1821) from his birth through his years as a Christian convert, evangelist, and composer of enduring hymns.

Ntsikana is known as one of the first Christians to adapt Christian ideas to African culture, writing hymns in isiXhosa and translating concepts into terms that resonated with his Xhosa community.

Even today, his hymns are among the most important in the amaXhosa churches, and he is regarded as an important symbol of both African unity and Black Consciousness.

There is a paradox in American Christianity. According to Gallup, nearly eight in ten Americans regard the Bible as either the literal word of God or the inspired by God. At the same time, surveys have revealed gaps in these same Americans' biblical literacy. These discrepancies reveal the complex relationship between American Christians and Holy Writ, a subject that is widely acknowledged but rarely investigated. The Bible in American Life is a sustained, collaborative reflection on the ways Americans use the Bible in their personal lives. It also considers how other influences, including religious communities and the internet, shape individuals' comprehension of scripture. Employing both quantitative methods (the General Social Survey and the National Congregations Study) and qualitative research (historical studies for context), The Bible in American Life provides an unprecedented perspective on the Bible's role outside of worship, in the lived religion of a broad cross-section of Americans both now and in the past. The Bible has been central to Christian practice, and has functioned as a cultural touchstone, throughout American history, but too little is known about how people engage it every day. How do people read the Bible for themselves outside of worship? How have denominational and parachurch publications influenced the interpretation and application of scripture? How have clergy and congregations influenced individual understandings of scripture? These questions are especially pressing in a time when denominations are losing much of their traditional cultural authority, technology is changing reading and cognitive habits, and subjective experience is continuing to eclipse textual authority as the mark of true religion. From the broadest scale imaginable, national survey data about all Americans, down to the smallest details, such as the portrayal of Noah and his ark in children's Bibles, this book offers insight and illumination from scholars across the intellectual spectrum. It will be useful and informative for scholars seeking to understand changes in American Christianity as well as clergy seeking more effective ways to preach and teach about scripture in a changing environment.
