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.

In ’n tyd wat gekenmerk word deur misdaad en geweld, is dit nie altyd maklik om moedig voort te beur nie. Maar met God aan ons sy is enigiets moontlik. Dit is die boodskap in Milanie Vosloo se dagboek Moed vir elke môre.

Die 366 verkwikkende oordenkings sal vroue inspireer om elke dag met nuwe moed aan te pak. Met temas soos moed om weer te begin, moed om vróú te wees, moed om te glo, moed om te huil, moed om vas te byt, moed om te kniel en nog vele meer, lei Milanie Vosloo vroue om hulle ware vrouwees daagliks moedig uit te leef.

Moed vir elke môre met sy eenkleur-bladontwerp is bedoel vir elke vrou wat vasgevang en oorweldig voel. Dit sal haar inspireer om die lewe weer reguit in die oë te kyk.

Break the Cycles That Hurt Your Relationships and Hold You Back

Through biblical examples and illustrations from their own redemptive story, Justin and Trisha Davis help readers identify unhealthy relational patterns that keep them from experiencing the joy and freedom God has for them.

Relationships can feel like a constant struggle. How can we recognize and overcome behaviors that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted? One Choice Away from Change helps us identify dysfunctional life patterns that cause us to repeat the same mistakes in relationships, fall into the same bad habits at work, or argue about the same things with those we love. Drawing on their own story of healing, Justin and Trisha Davis offer practical encouragement for:

• Understanding the choices we make that can sabotage us
• Not letting the past dictate the present
• Leaving behind our go-to sins and dysfunctions
• Moving forward in the hope of who God calls us to be

You aren’t as stuck as you think you are. In fact, you are just one decision away from breaking the cycles that keep you living in fear and shame. Experience the power of God’s grace … one choice at a time.

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.

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.

Die eise van die lewe maak dit dikwels moeilik om die eggenoot, ma, dogter of vriendin te wees wat jy wil wees. Hoe bemoedigend om te weet jy is nie die enigste vrou wat so voel nie! Vroue van die Bybel fokus op 52 besondere vroue van die Bybel wat dieselfde uitdagings in hulle lewe en geloof ervaar het as wat die moderne vrou daagliks het.

Elke week fokus op die lewe van een van hierdie 52 vroue, met:

• ’n Inspirerende blik op haar lewe (Maandag)
• Meer inligting oor haar leefwêreld (Dinsdag)
• ’n Kort Bybelstudie oor haar lewe en hoe jy dit in jou lewe kan toepas (Woensdag)
• Bybelse beloftes (Donderdag)
• ’n Gebed (Vrydag)

Vroue van die Bybel bevat ook:

• ’n Tematiese indeks
• ’n Lys en tydlyn van die vroue van die Bybel
• ’n Lys van die vroue in Jesus se stamboom
• ’n Lys van die vroue in Jesus se lewe en bediening

Vroue van die Bybel is perfek vir individuele of groepstudie. Dit bied nuwe perspektiewe wat jou verhouding met God sal versterk en vir jou ’n dieper waardering sal gee vir die vroue wat voor jou geleef het.

Hy is daarom ideaal toegerus om jou met wysheid en empatie op hierdie moeilike pad van rousmart te begelei.

So sal hierdie boekie ’n joernaal wees van jou uniek persoonlike reis na aanvaarding, vertroosting, vrede en vreugde.

Ervaar God se troos en liefde sodat jy uiteindelik weer met vreugde kan leef totdat jy jou geliefdes eendag weer sien.

Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren't pretty.

So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: 'Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.' It wasn't the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs.

Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you'll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favour of a slower, simpler way of life.

Angs neem baie vorme aan, dis dalk die vrees wat oor jou skouer loer, die paniek wat alewig aan jou sy blyk te wees of die wolk van bekommernis wat oor jou lewe hang. Vir baie mense is dit ’n reus wat hulle wysmaak dat hulle nooit, ooit weer ’n normale lewe gaan kan lei nie; ’n reus wat jou vasvang in ’n greep van duisternis en wanhoop.

Jy kán egter losbreek en sonder angs lewe.

Uit sy eerstehandse ervaring van die stryd teen angs, deel Pastoor Louie Giglio beide praktiese en geestelike wenke om vry te kom. Aan die hand van ’n boodskap van bemoediging en hoop verduidelik hy die paradoks dat angs dalk dood is, maar steeds dodelik is – met ander woorde, angs is steeds oorweldigend, maar daar is egter Iemand wat reeds die oorhand oor angs gekry het.

Hierdie nuttige hulpbron wys jou hoe om ‘n kruisie te trek deur jou angs met die sterkste wapen tot ons beskikking: Jesus se kruis. Elke dag se oordenking sal jou help om een voet voor die ander te sit en grond te wen in die stryd sowel as om bose vestings af te breek omdat Jesus reeds namens jou die oorwinning behaal het.
