Leer die geheime van ’n suksesvolle huwelik by die topverkoper Joyce Meyer. Of jy nou dertig dae of dertig jaar getroud is, jy wil ’n huwelik hê wat in moeilike tye floreer. Maar ons huwelike lyk nie altyd soos ons gedink het dit sou nie. Miskien het jy nie probleme in jou
huwelik nie, maar jy wil jou verhouding so sterk as moontlik maak. In Die sleutels tot ’n gesonde huwelik, leer die geliefde skrywer Joyce Meyer jou om kragtige waarhede uit God se Woord vir jou en jou huwelik te ontsluit, struikelblokke na gesonde verhoudings te oorkom, in vrede met ’n onseker persoon te leef en die fokus van jouself en jou gade af te haal en eerder na die Here te kyk. Joyce Meyer se leeftyd van Bybelse wysheid en haar praktiese en persoonlike ervaring sal jou help om in jou huwelik te groei. Ongeag in watter
stadium van die huwelik jy is, jy kan hoop en moed ervaar in God se beloftes van genesing, herstel en ’n lewe vol van sy goedheid!

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.

After years of trying and driving more than 10 000 kilometres to one failed audition after the other Frank had to find a job - a proper job that could put food on his table. He ended up driving a taxi in Los Angeles, just to lose that job too.

Eventually became the church's janitor.

But Frank felt betrayed - God promised him a life of abundance - why hasn't he received it yet? Frank felt like all God’s promises had come to nothing; he felt angry and embarrassed.

Frank had to learn that he couldn't ask God to make all this dreams come true, he is in God's service, not the other way around. Life is not about him, it is about God.

Bekommernis, twyfel, verwarring, depressie, woede en gevoelens van veroordeling is alles aanvalle op die gemoed. Bekende outeur Joyce Meyer sal jou help om hierdie belangrike gevegte te wen. In hierdie opgedateerde uitgawe leer Joyce ons hoe om ons gedagtes te fokus op die manier waarop God dink. Sy deel persoonlike stories uit haar eie lewe, saam met Bybelse waarhede en aanmoediging om jou te help om doelgerig te dink, die gevegte in jou gedagtes te wen en 'n vreugdevolle lewe te begin.

Ontvang genesing vir jou emosionele wonde en ontdek jou lewensdoel as God se kind in hierdie 90-daedagstukkieboek.

Genesing vir elke vrou 90 oordenkings delf diep in Joyce Meyer se eie lewensverhaal en haar reis na genesing. Ten spyte van jare se mishandeling, verwerping en verraad deur die mense die naaste aan haar, glo Joyce dat elke vrou wat diep seergekry het deur lewensomstandighede, ten volle genees kan word in hart en siel. Haar onwankelbare aanspraak het ontstaan uit haar eie reis na genesing, en ook die pad wat sy gestap het met soveel vroue wat nie wou glo dat hulle hul pyn ten volle sou oorwin nie.

Joyce neem jou op ’n 90-dae-reis om jou te bemoedig deur die lewe se struikelblokke om jou ware lewensdoel te bereik. Die Here kan jou pyn genees, en Hy wil dit in jou hart doen sodat jy die wonderlike, vreugdevolle toekoms wat God vir jou beplan het kan leef!

Die boek Spreuke is 'n skatkis van geestelike en praktiese wysheid wat ons toerus om ons beste lewe te lei. Kennis is belangrik, maar as dit nie in aksie omgeskakel word nie, slaag dit nie daarin om ons lewe te verander nie.

Dit is belangrik om 'n deurdagte en praktiese begrip van die sewe fundamentele beginsels in die boek Spreuke te verkry:

• Wysheid
• Begrip
• Versigtigheid
• Kennis
• Onderskeidingsvermoë
• Onderskeiding
• Vrees van die Here

As ons hierdie eienskappe wil besit, moet ons 'n verbintenis maak tot 'n dieper begrip en implementering van hierdie waardes in ons daaglikse lewe.

Met inspirerende vrae om deurdagte refleksie te bevorder, sal Op soek na wysheid jou die fundamentele beginsels leer en God se hulp verseker om dit te beoefen.

Die boek werk volledig deur al die hoofstukke van Spreuke.

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.

After reading this book, I will have the insight needed to rupture the enemy's grip on my life. I will gain the invaluable tools needed to fight in the spirit and take up my God-given authority as more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus.

Many believers are not victorious and not living lives of purpose and destiny because they don't understand the schemes and wiles of the devil.

Using powerful teachings, this book will unveil and expose the devil and his kingdom to the very core of his ministry, strategies, and weapons he uses against the church today.

The church has fallen asleep. We do not understand the things of the Spirit. We don't understand the enemy of our souls. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy using satanic strategies, game plans, and arsenals of weapons that he wants us to believe are nonchalant, easygoing, harmless, and unpredictable.

The church is not teaching and equipping believers to teach our hands to war in the spirit. In Psalm 144:1, David asked God, "Lord, teach my hands to war." Now, instead of our hands being taught to fight the good fight, we find ourselves in handcuffs--limited, depleted, and spiritually anemic.

This book will help you unlock your spiritual handcuffs so you can understand the works of the devil and expose him before he sets foot on the battlefield of your life. You will learn how to crush the head of the serpent in any season of your life, and how you can see him coming in the blind spots of your walk with the Lord.

It's time for believers to be trained, equipped, and become a spiritual army. It's time to fight and expose the so-called devil and his entrapments. We will rise up and take back what he has stolen from us once and for all in the unmatchable name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. Jesus will be proud that He picked us for the ultimate battle.
