One of the great privileges we have as Christians is finding favor
from the Lord. Yet our understanding of "favor" can be off. We are
sometimes told it's all about us--that God gave us that house, that
car, that job so we can have all we need. But his provision doesn't
stop with us. In this fascinating, empowering book, Gary Wilkerson,
pastor and president of World Challenge, paints a bigger, brighter,
and more biblical picture of what God's favor is. He shows how our
loving Father showers his abundant resources upon us--things like
forgiveness, restoration, peace, joy, power, and authority--not
only to bless us with a favored, happy life, but for us to joyfully
demonstrate this favor to others, whether they are friends, family,
or strangers on the street. Because God's favor is not meant to end
with us--it is meant to show the beauty of his unearned grace to a
hurting, unbelieving world.
Captivating True Story of God's Supernatural Love at Work As a
child, Leanna's young world pulsed with adventure, including
emergency moves across the country in an old Dodge Dart with a
dismantled airplane strapped to the roof. By age fifteen, she had
become an equestrian champion with sights fixed on the Olympics.
Then, in a series of stunning revelations, Jesus appeared to her
and revolutionized her life. A few years later, not expecting to
return alive, she wrote a will for her parents, left everything
behind, and embarked for northern India with a one-way ticket and a
mission: to rescue people trapped in darkness. This firsthand,
often-supernatural account follows the rigors, heartaches, and
miracles of a life propelled by faith into one of the poorest and
darkest places on earth. Leanna's fearless determination to shine
Jesus' light into the shadows--whether helping the destitute in
small villages or reaching girls abused in the sex-trafficking
trade--will thrill and inspire you to believe his power can change
even your most trying circumstances.
A Call for Every Christian to Move from Shallow Living to Deep
Faith In The Dangers of a Shallow Faith, renowned theologian A.W.
Tozer warns believers in Christ against the great danger of
spiritual lethargy. He urges Christians to be aware of the times in
which they live and to recognize how attempting to live a life for
God on autopilot will actually undermine their faith. For Tozer,
the risks are so significant that "breaking out from the tyranny of
spiritual lethargy--whatever the cost--should be the number-one
priority of every Christian." In this never-before-published
compilation, followers of Christ will discover anew the importance
of standing boldly against spiritual and moral slumber. They will
also see the importance of remaining awake in the face of constant
temptation and distraction. Discover the spiritual awakening and
change the Holy Spirit can bring to your life as you surrender
completely to God and walk in a deeper faith!

Founder of Teen Challenge Shows How to Overcome Persistent Sins
This is David Wilkerson's capstone teaching, poured out from a
heart that discovered the power God has given his people to triumph
over sin. Through Wilkerson's expert ability to blend teaching with
personal application, he shows that the key to defeating
life-controlling habits is found in one thing: the new covenant God
enacted with his people.
In today's era of pop psychology, most Christians battle temptation
and sin through self-help techniques or gritty self-will. Even
Wilkerson, through decades of ministry that led hundreds of
thousands to salvation and deliverance, struggled to know true
peace as he battled his own "besetting sins." Determined to find
victory, Wilkerson came to grasp the stunning reality that the vast
love of God provides the spiritual resources believers need to obey
his every command.
Gathered from some of his most prominent sermons, this is one of
Wilkerson's most powerful teachings--one that will redeem countless
lives into the life-giving experience of purity.
