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.

Whether you are a businessperson, a departmental manager, an employee, a homemaker, a student, or a head of state, Dr. Munroe explains how you can make your dreams and hopes a living reality.

Women are bombarded with ideas of perfection--and tips for how to
achieve it--every day. From her work to her looks to her parenting,
today's modern woman is expected to strive to be picture perfect in
every way. As a result, calls for authenticity and imperfection are
on the rise. Yet, deep down, most of us still want to achieve
perfection. Why? The desire to be perfect, says Kim Hyland, is
actually a God-given urge. After all, we were made for Eden. But
there is a difference between perfection and perfectionism, which
is our attempt to achieve perfection on our own, by our own
strength, and for our own purposes--the original temptation in the
Garden. In this freeing book, Hyland offers women a stirring
manifesto for acknowledging their limitations and embracing the
perfection of God through his grace. This is a book for every woman
who gives 110% and yet feels shame when one little thing goes
wrong.
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.
