Few things in life are more frustrating than knowing you need to change, wanting to change, and trying to change, but not changing. Craig Groeschel knows what it's like to be caught in that demoralizing cycle. That was his own story until he discovered practical principles for experiencing lasting change. Since then, Craig has helped countless others find true change in their relationships, habits, and thoughts. In The Power to Change, Craig helps you understand:

• How God's power, not your willpower, leads to true transformation
• The real reasons you do what you do
• Why falling isn't failure
• The power of creating small habits that lead to big change
• How to choose what you want most over what you want now

With his signature engaging style and straightforward wisdom, Craig Groeschel--New York Times bestselling author, pastor, and counselor--delivers a powerful guide to breaking free of destructive thought patterns and renewing our minds for a bright and purposeful future.

Are your thoughts out of control--just like your life? Do you long to break free from the spiral of destructive thinking? Let God's truth become your battle plan to win the war in your mind!

We've all tried to think our way out of bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns, only to find ourselves stuck with an out-of-control mind and off-track daily life. Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel understands deeply this daily battle against self-doubt and negative thinking, and in this powerful new book he reveals the strategies he's discovered to change your mind and your life for the long-term.

Drawing upon Scripture and the latest findings of brain science, Groeschel lays out four practical and transformative strategies that will enable you to change your thinking and transform your life:

• Remove the lies you believe and replace them with truth
• Rewire your brain and learn exercises to renew your mind
• Reframe your mind and restore a healthy perspective
• Revive your soul through prayer and praise and reclaim your life

We live in a world of fakers. Rather than being real with each other, we present a carefully crafted persona that hides our faults and magnifies our good qualities. But inside we long to be loved, warts and all. We long to stop hiding from each other--and especially from God.
With candor and clarity, pastor Rick Bezet calls readers to a life built on authenticity, showing that the way to true freedom lies through reclaiming our hearts, reviving our souls, and renewing our minds in light of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Through biblical stories and (often funny) personal examples, Bezet encourages readers to live with passion, integrity, and perseverance. He releases readers from the spiritual death that comes with pretending and leads them into a new life characterized by transparency rather than fear.

A life-changing path to mental and emotional wellness.

Do you ever wonder: Why am I so anxious? Why can't I shake this anger or depression? Maybe you've even cried out to God, Aren't Christians supposed to feel better than this?

You're not alone--and you don't have to stay stuck.

In Heal Your Hurting Mind, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel opens up about his most personal journey yet--one shaped by deep emotional pain and raw honesty. With vulnerability and hope, Craig shares his story while guiding readers through a transformative path of healing, growth, and lasting change.

Along the way, you'll meet Dr. Wayne Chappelle, known as "Dr. C," a respected clinical psychologist who has helped everyone from elite military leaders to professional athletes overcome intense mental health challenges. Craig's candor and biblical wisdom, combined with Dr. C's psychological insight and expertise, offer a powerful and practical path forward, providing the tools you need to start healing today.

Together, they will help you:

• Realize you're not alone in your struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, or anger
• Identify and name your emotions and feelings
• Understand what's really driving your mental and emotional battles
• Discover that mental health is dynamic, not static
• Develop specific strategies for changing toxic thought patterns and behavior

You don't have to keep living under the weight of mental and emotional pain. God longs to bring healing and relief to your life. Break free from what's been holding you back, and let Heal Your Hurting Mind show you how.

From the bestselling author of Marriage on the Rock, Four Laws of Love represents the culmination of Jimmy Evans' influential career. In this deeply personal book, Jimmy Evans outlines the foundational pillars upon which God designed marriage. Without holding back, he tells the story of his own marriage, which was hurtling toward divorce until this self-proclaimed "bad husband" came to recognize and put into practice these four laws. This book sounds a wake-up call for every kind of marriage, including those that are barely surviving and those that seem to operate on autopilot. Couples who follow these simple guidelines -- recognizing the original intent and purpose of marriage--will inject new life into their unions. They'll see hurting marriages find healing and watch good marriages become great. Each revitalized relationship will play a part in restoring marriage to its sacred role at the center of human civilization.

With God's help, you'll find strength to fight the battles you know you must win: the ones that determine the state of your heart, the quality of your marriage, and the spiritual health of those you love most.

Groeschel examines the life of Samson--a strong man with glaring weaknesses. Like many men, Samson taunted his enemy and rationalized his sins. The good news is God's grace is greater than your worst sin. By looking at Samson's life, you will . . .

• Learn to defeat the demons that make strong men weak
• Tap into a strength you never knew was possible
• Become who God made you to be--a man who knows how to fight for what's right

Don't just fight like a man. Fight like a man of God. For God's sake . . . FIGHT!

As teens, it can feel difficult to find a way out of our bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns, too often feeling like our thoughts are running out of control and finding ourselves off-track from where we want to be. Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel deeply understands this daily battle against self-doubt and negative thinking, and in this book adapted from his bestselling Winning the War in Your Mind, Groeschel explains how you too can challenge your thinking and change the course of your life for the better, revealing the strategies he’s found that help.

Drawing upon Scripture and the latest findings of brain science, Groeschel lays out practical strategies that will free you from the grip of harmful, destructive thinking and enable you to live the life of joy and peace that God intends you to live. With all-new stories, science that explores the unique realities of how the teenage brain is wired, and visually engaging callouts and short sections that appeal to teenage readers, Winning the War in Your Mind for Teens will help you:

• Learn how your brain works and see how to rewire it
• Identify the lies the enemy wants you to believe
• Recognize and short-circuit your mental triggers for negative thinking
• See how prayer and praise will transform your mind
• Develop practices that allow God's thoughts to become your thoughts

In this twelve-lesson workbook, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel pairs modern psychology and biblical teaching to reveal how to win the war in your mind and restore daily peace in your life. What you think shapes who you are. If your thoughts are out of control, your life will be as well. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. In recent years, a discipline of psychology called cognitive behavioral therapy has gained popularity. This discipline is rooted in an understanding that many problems--from eating disorders to relational challenges, addictions, and even some forms of depression--are rooted in negative patterns of thinking. Treating those problems begins with changing that thinking. This has many parallels with Scripture. In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he writes about turning our thoughts to certain types of things (truth, purity, loveliness...) and putting them into practice so that we experience God's peace. In this workbook, Craig goes deeper into the principles outlined in his book (sold separately) to reveal the strategies he has discovered that will change your mind and, by extension, your life for the long-term. Each lesson includes biblical exploration, reflection and application questions, and practical exercises to help you: Gain insight into how your brain works and how your thoughts affect your reality. Identify your destructive thought patterns and eliminate them from your life. Become a thought warrior and replace the enemy's lies with God's truth. God has something better for your life than your old ways of thinking. It's time to change your mind so God can change your life.

""Stepping onto the platform to preach that morning, I admitted to myself that I was not a pastor first, but a regular, scared, insecure, everyday guy whose life had been changed by Jesus. And if Jesus really loved me as I was (I knew He did), then why should I go on trying to be someone I wasn't?""
