As you proceed on your path to personal growth and want to gain
insight into what prevents you from being the husband, wife,
parent, or creative person you were born to be, benefit from this
inspiring and easy-to-use workbook by T.D. Jakes, author of the
"New York Times "bestseller "Let It Go: Forgive So You Can Be
Forgiven. "
More than a companion piece to "Let It Go, "this is a guide through
an "exhilarating journey that will enable you to finally reach the
potential you know is inside you and take you to a level of
personal success you may have only dreamed of until now," says
Bishop Jakes. This workbook outlines the fundamentals of
forgiveness and provides the spiritual and psychological tools to
acknowledge and process feelings that may have held you back from
fulfilling your greatest potential.
With this workbook learn how to:
- Sever the chains with which your past has held you captive, and
launch yourself into a brighter future than you may have imagined.
- Break the powerful-but-invisible negative bonds that connect you
in damaging ways to people who have hurt or offended you.
- Be set free to dream again and to pursue the vision you have for
your life.
- Move beyond depression and bitterness and experience the freedom
of forgiveness.
While praying for his community on the Island of Iona, the Celtic
monk St. Columba described his experience as a thin place- a
location where heaven and earth seemed only thinly separated.In the
same way, God's kingdom is being realized here on earth with
stories of restoration and redemption. Our God moved into the
neighborhood, seeking to invite us into his story of
reconciliation, and commission us to missionally engage our
neighborhoods with the good news of the kingdom.Joining the
concepts of monasticism and mission, author Jon Huckins will walk
you through six postures of missional formation: listening,
submerging, inviting, contending, imagining, and entrusting. As you
begin to employ these postures, become apprentices of Jesus who are
committed to living in and experiencing the thin places.Through
Thin Places, create a fertile soil to commune with God, live in
deep community with others, and extend the good news of the kingdom
in your local contexts.
