Jamie Winship spent nearly 30 years living and working in conflict
zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all
human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a
false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's
false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive,
fully human, and fully free. Unpacking the power of knowing our
true identity in Christ, Winship takes us on a journey of telling
ourselves the truth, changing our mindsets, and experiencing actual
life transformation that leads to radical courage in the face of
all that life throws at us. With humor, clarity, and real-life
practicality, Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely
to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person
he created you to be--and also about all those other people he
created and loves. If you want to discover the incredible
difference abiding in Christ will make in your life and faith, get
ready to do "a new thing" with God.
In the beginning, marriage doesn't seem as though it should be all
that difficult. But it doesn't take long for trouble to seep in and
for bad habits to become entrenched. Before long, many married
couples may be wondering when the "worse" part ends and the
"better" part starts. Pastor and author Kevin A. Thompson has good
news for couples: the "better" part is always within reach when
they practice eight specific commitments to each other. These
commitments have the power to solve almost any problem a marriage
faces, and to prevent new ones from occurring. With biblical
insights and engaging personal stories, Thompson shows couples how
to see their marriage as bigger than themselves, avoid both apathy
and aggression, release the desire for power, make and maintain
peace, endure difficult times, and more. Perfect for newlyweds and
for married couples at any stage of life, Happily is the gateway to
a more loving, more joy-filled marriage.
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.

Experience Jesus Really, Finding Refuge Strength and Wonder Through
Everyday Encounters with God
In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We
are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a
never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding
the keys to a better life.
But if that's true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of
anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world
of weary, skeptical pragmatism--and it's keeping us from experiencing
the God we are dying without.
John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless,
disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the
ordinary mystic. Readers who join Eldredge on this journey will:
• Regain childlike faith in the reality of God's constant, available
presence to those who seek him;
• Discover the biblical foundations for the mystical tradition in
Christianity; and
• Learn practices, habits, and prayers that will transform their
ability to hear the voice of Jesus in their day-to-day lives.
Every human yearns to return to Eden, to a state of unbroken communion
with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy with him. The
mystic is awake to the truth that God is still with us--and we
experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence if we learn to
open our hearts to him.
