God has a dream for your life and in this concise, yet powerful volume, beloved pastor and trusted teacher Rick Warren explains the process God uses to fulfil the dream he gives you.The Bible is full of stories of people whose God-given dreams became reality but not without first going through the six phases of faith. In Created to Dream: 6 Phases God Uses To Grow Your Faith, Pastor Rick will help you understand how God uses these phases to grow people to spiritual maturity while fulfilling the dreams he gives them. Each phase is a test of your faith.
You are not an accident. Even before the universe was created, God
had you in mind, and he planned you for his purposes. These
purposes will extend far beyond the few years you will spend on
earth. You were made to last forever! Self-help books often suggest
that you try to discover the meaning and purpose of your life by
looking within yourself, but Rick Warren says that is the wrong
place to start. You must begin with God, your Creator, and his
reasons for creating you. You were made by God and for God, and
until you understand that, life will never make sense. This book
will help you understand why you are alive and God's amazing plan
for you - both here and now, and for eternity. Rick Warren will
guide you through a personal 40-day spiritual journey that will
transform your answer to life's most important question: What on
earth am I here for? Knowing God's purpose for creating you will
reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions,
give meaning to your life, and, most importantly, prepare you for
eternity. The Purpose Driven Life is a blueprint for Christian
living in the 21st century - a lifestyle based on God's eternal
purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200 scriptural quotes
and references, it challenges the conventional definitions of
worship, fellowship, disciple.
Since its release, The Purpose Driven Life has been translated into
eighty-five different languages and has become the Bestselling
non-fiction hardback book in history according to Publishers
Weekly, all because of the Christ-centered approach the book takes
to answering lifes most fundamental question: What on earth am I
here for? NOW, Rick has updated and expanded the book with new
chapters on the greatest barriers to living your purpose. In the
original 40 Days of Purpose campaign, churches averaged 28% growth
in attendance, and over 100% growth in small group Bible study!
People WANT to know their purpose in life! The Purpose Driven Life
will enable a new generation in your church to discover Gods
purposes for their lives and empower your church with a fresh new
wind of hope, joy, and vitality!

The program that has helped over five million people overcome their
hurts, hang-ups, and habits You've undoubtedly heard the expression
"time heals all wounds." Unfortunately, it isn't true. As many
pastors and counselors know, people still carry hurts from thirty
or forty years ago. The truth is, time often makes things worse.
Wounds that are left untended fester and spread infection
throughout your entire body. Time only extends the pain if the
problem isn't dealt with. Your First Step to Celebrate Recovery
introduces you to a biblical and balanced program that has helped
nearly five million people overcome their hurts, hang-ups, and
habits. Based on the actual words of Jesus found in the Sermon on
the Mount rather than psychological theory, the Celebrate Recovery
program has helped people for over 20 years to grow toward full
Christ-like maturity. Author and founder John Baker tells the true
story of how Celebrate Recovery became one of the largest
Christ-centered recovery programs in history. Baker will help you
discover how God's love, truth, grace and forgiveness can bring
healing into your life.
What would you give to radically improve, even transform, what matters most in your relationships? You can thrive in your career, acquire wealth, or build a great reputation. But if your relationships aren’t thriving, nothing else matters.
This 40-day journey will bring new depth and health to your marriage, your family, and your friendships. Saddleback Church teaching pastor Tom Holladay helps you explore and begin to practice six foundational principles including how to give your relationships the highest value, love as Jesus loves you, and communicate from the heart. You’ll be equipped with insights and a practical path for fulfilling God’s intention for all your relationships—even the difficult ones.
The Relationship Principles of Jesus walks you step by step through learning the foundational relationship truths taught by Jesus. Shaped after Rick Warren’s monumental bestseller, The Purpose Driven Life, this book invites you to learn from the Master of relationships.
This "how to" book explains in detail 12 different ways to study
the Scriptures - living, step-by-step instructions. You will learn
various personal study methods including: devotional, biographical,
topical, book background, chapter analysis, book synopsis and word
study. It has been translated into seven languages.
With over forty years combined global church-planting experience,
Craig Ott and Gene Wilson are well qualified to write a
comprehensive, up-to-date guide for cross-cultural church planting.
Combining substantive biblical principles and missiological
understanding with practical insights, this book walks readers
through the various models and development phases of church
planting. Advocating methods that lead to church multiplication,
the authors emphasize the role of the missionary church planter.
They offer helpful reflection on current trends and provide best
practices gathered from research and empirical findings around the
globe. The book takes up a number of special issues not addressed
in most church planting books, such as use of short-term teams,
partnerships, and wise use of resources. Full of case studies and
real examples from around the world, this practical text will
benefit students, church planters, missionaries, and missional
church readers.
These sixty short daily reflections, each based on a verse from the
Bible, will guide a believer facing serious sickness-and his or her
family-to a rock-solid faith and trust in the will of God. With
confidence in the healing power of God and the possibility of
miracles, the Blumhardts, a father-son team of pastors renowned for
their healing ministry, point us away from our troubles and toward
a Creator who is supremely wise and good and wants the best for
each of us. In a world where medical advances seem to promise a
cure for everything, it's tempting to believe that we can live free
of pain. But we know that even the best medicine cannot extend life
forever or solve the riddles of physical and emotional illness.
How, then, to respond to the inevitability of suffering? And how to
help those who live in fear of disease to conquer their daily worry
about their diagnosis? What better place to turn than to these
words of comfort and hope drawn from the Word of God? As Rick
Warren writes in his foreword, "the Blumhardts remind us that
physical healing is not God's greatest answer to prayer.
...Whatever circumstance you are facing right now, this book of
daily readings will help you focus on a closer relationship with
Jesus, our one true spiritual healer."
Rick Warren, R. C. Sproul, Al Mohler, Thabiti Anyabwile, Francis
Chan and John Piper challenge us to pursue holistic Christianity.
They want us to be thinkers, very engaged and serious thinkers, and
more. To be feelers, with a great passion for Jesus and his gospel,
and more. And doers, endeavouring to do great acts of love for
others, and more. Our Saviour perfectly embodies all three, and
demonstrates that thinking, loving and doing are indeed not at
odds, but mutually strengthening and reinforcing.
What does it take to... Become more loving? Live more peacefully?
Develop patience? Have self-control? "In the years I have been a
pastor," writes Rick Warren, "the number-one question I'm asked is,
`Rick, why can't I change?'" People want to change-but they're
stuck. Do you want to get unstuck? Here's how. Drawing simple but
powerful truths from the Bible, this book gives you practical
guidance for specific types of change, and it links you up with the
power to actually make the changes you long to make. As you apply
the truth of God's Word by the power of his Spirit, your life will
change. You'll move out of your rut-and get on track with God's
wonderful purposes for your life.
This practical book walks church leadership through the questions
they need to answer to develop their own intentional small group
strategy. Built around the most commonly asked questions, it
outlines the step-by-step process of creating a successful small
group ministry. Because it is built upon principles and not
methods, this plan can be implemented in any size church. Each
chapter ends with a list of questions for leaders to answer to help
them assess their current situation and their desires for the
future.
Do you feel guilt and shame about negative thoughts and emotions
and your inability to overcome them? Bestselling author and pastor
Chris Hodges helps those struggling with depression find liberating
solutions by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah. You might
be asking, Should a Christian even be having these struggles?
Depression is the number one health issue in the world today, yet
those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized-especially
followers of Jesus. Many assume God's peace, power, and protection
should prevent us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, and afraid.
But the Bible teaches otherwise, particularly in its depiction of
the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah. In Out of the Cave,
Chris Hodges uses Elijah's life to show us that everyone is
susceptible to depression. Even when we're walking closely with
God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled
emotions. But we don't have to stay there, because we serve a God
who meets us in the darkness. Out of the Cave helps us remove the
stigma of depression and realize we're not alone; understand the
ways our temperament and view of God affect the way we handle
depression; and learn a comprehensive approach to wellness-mind,
body, and soul-from Elijah's journey. With his trademark blend of
Bible-based wisdom, practical application, and vulnerability in
sharing his personal struggles, Hodges explores the causes of
depression we can't change, the contributors we can conquer, and
offers transformative hope and spiritual power to help us win the
battle.
With a foreword by Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life,
this revised and updated edition will help you find true
happiness--if you choose to accept it. We've all been hurt by other
people, we've hurt ourselves, and we've hurt others. And as a
result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt,
hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is, Where do we go
from here? Ten years after the original edition of Life's Healing
Choices, this newly revised edition contains updates to basic
teaching principles--based on ten years' experience--as well as new
and contemporary testimonies. Using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a
foundation, Rick Warren and John Baker, pastors at Saddleback
Church, developed the eight choices shared in this book. In
addition to practical, encouraging biblical teaching, each chapter
includes two real-life testimonies of men and women whose lives
have been transformed by living out the eight choices in this book.
Through making each of these choices, you too will find God's
pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, happiness, and
healing. You'll find real answers, real hope, and a real
future--one healing choice at a time.
