Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of
manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about
their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God
made them men. It's into this "no man's land" that New York Times
bestselling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood:
play the man. In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps
men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven
virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood,
including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first
heard the voice from heaven say, "Play the man." Mark couples those
stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next
generation of men. This is more than a book; it's a movement of men
who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest
calling to be the man and the father God has destined them to be.
Play the man. Make the man.

"Life's not fair!" You've heard it a million times--and probably
said it yourself. But what if your greatest difficulties were
steppingstones to a greater destiny? What if seasons of unbearable
pain turned out to be pathways to unbelievable purpose? In The
Unfair Advantage, pastor Aaron Burke takes a closer look at the
seven unfair seasons Joseph endures in the book of Genesis and
reveals how Joseph's struggles are not unlike the battles readers
face today. Combining biblical truths with Pastor Aaron's insights
from his years of walking with people through their biggest
challenges, this book offers a message of hope and renewed strength
for anyone who has battled seasons of feeling discouraged,
rejected, undervalued, tempted, unfairly punished, deprived, or
forgotten. The surprising reality revealed by the story of Joseph
is that unfair moments and seasons of difficulty--if handled
wisely--can actually be used by God for our advantage. Readers will
be comforted and inspired as they encounter in a new way the
dramatic story of Joseph's trials and ultimate triumph. Along the
way, they'll learn how to transform adversity into advantage,
endure even the most challenging moments through courage and hope
rooted in faith, become aware of God's presence, peace, and promise
in the midst of hardship. Â In The Unfair Advantage, readers
who are walking through a season that seems unfair will be
reminded of God's ultimate gift of favor. While their situation may
seem hopeless now, they can trust that God is forging
something beautiful out of the brokenness, putting purpose to their
pain, righting every wrong, and building a destiny better than
their greatest dreams.

resounding joy, even in the face of suffering and persecution? In

If is a powerful little word. Some people are stuck in "if only,"
trudging through lives marked with regret. But God wants us to live
lives marked with possibilities, with the "what if" attitude that
looks forward to the future with confidence. Why? Because the

Pray Circles Around Your Greatest Dreams and Biggest Fears Prayer
can sometimes be a frightening thing-how do you approach the maker
of the world, and what exactly can you pray for? In this student
adaptation of The Circle Maker, Pastor Mark Batterson uses the true
legend of Honi the circle maker, a first-century Jewish sage whose
bold prayer saved a generation, to uncover the boldness God asks of
us at times, and what powerful prayer can mean in your life.
Drawing inspiration from his own experiences as a circle maker, as
well as sharing stories of young people who have experienced God's
blessings, Batterson explores how you can approach God in a new way
by drawing prayer circles around your dreams, your problems, and,
most importantly, God's promises. In the process, you'll discover
this simple yet life-changing truth: God honors bold prayers; bold
prayers honor God. And you're never too young for God to use you
for amazing things. Updated with discussion questions that tie to
the Circle Maker video curriculum.
El pastor Mark Batterson sostiene en su libro -Circulos de oracion-
que dibujar circulos de oracion alrededor de nuestros suenos no es
solo un mecanismo que nos permite lograr grandes cosas para Dios.
El tambien lo utiliza para lograr grandes cosas en nosotros. Alguna
vez has sentido que tiene que haber muchas posibilidades mas en tu
oracion, y en la vision de Dios para tu vida? Te invitamos a
aprender de Honi, El Hacedor de circulos, un hombre lo
suficientemente audaz para dibujar un circulo en la arena y no
salirse de el mientras Dios no contestara sus oraciones por su
pueblo. Cual es ese gran sueno imposible a cuyo alrededor Dios te
esta llamando a trazar un circulo?"
Abundant life. Does that describe the life you're living now? Or do
words like busy, overwhelming, disappointing, or exhausting come to
mind instead? Today, more than ever, we long for satisfaction in
our lives and fulfillment in our faith but come up empty. We are
lacking, and that hole can't be filled by money, prestige, or
stuff. Pastor Choco, author of Move into More, knows what it feels
like to want more from life. Raised by a single mother after his
alcoholic father left, he grew up as a poor Puerto Rican kid in
Humboldt Park, one of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods. He grew up
never having enough. However, God had so much more for him. Pastor
Choco rose to become senior pastor of New Life Covenant Church (one
of Chicago's fastest-growing churches) and one of TIME magazine's
100 Most Influential People in the World. In Move into More, with
conviction and earnestness, Pastor Choco explains that God has
promised a life of more-joyful contentment that comes from living
passionately with a purpose-to anyone who follows him in obedience.
It's not who you are, he says, it's what Jesus can do if you will
let him. Choco breaks down popular-yet-untrue thinking that God's
"more" is about wealth or material possessions, fame or power, and
shows readers that God's more is far better than anyone could ever
imagine. If you're willing to Move into More, your eyes will be
opened to the all-powerful, all-loving God who wants more for you
than you can imagine in your wildest dreams. When you follow Him
faithfully and obediently, you will find peace in your problems,
rest in your weariness, order in circumstantial chaos, and joy in
trials. Don't settle for less than God has for you-it's time to
Move into More!
Christians who want to take the next step in their faith walk need
look no further. It's time to ante up and go all in with God. The
Gospel costs nothing. You can't earn it or buy it. It can only be
received as a free gift, which is compliments of God's grace. It
doesn't cost anything, but it demands everything. It demands that
we go "all in," putting all that we have into God's hands. But why
do so many Christians hesitate to do that? And when did we start
believing that the Gospel is an insurance plan? We're afraid that
if we go all in that we might miss out on what life has to offer.
But Jesus did not die to keep us safe. He died to make us
dangerous. So, let's step out of spiritual no man's land and kneel
at the foot of the cross of Christ and surrender to his lordship.
It's time to dethrone yourself and enthrone Christ as king, and
Pastor Mark Batterson is here to show you how. Using his customary
vivid, contemporary illustrations, as well as biblical characters
like Shamgar, Elisha, Jonathan, and even Judas, you will be
challenged to trade what Batterson calls "inverted Christianity"
for true discipleship as you strip away your excuses and
inhibitions and follow God completely. It's now or never. Are you
ready to go all in and all out for God? Also available: All In
student edition, video curriculum, and study guide.

The most powerful forces in the world are both exhilarating and terrifying. Awesome and terrible. Life-giving and life-threatening. In order to unleash the positive attributes of these powers, one must also confront the imposing components of them. But the ultimate example of this phenomenon is the awesome fame of the almighty God.
My Fame, His Fame is a call for believers to heed the example of the prophet Habakkuk by stepping to their watch on the ramparts and calling for a revelation of God's mighty acts to be repeated in our time. It is an inspiring reminder that our lives are to be lived for one aim: to increase the fame of the Famous One. Readers will encounter a radically different--and far better--approach to achieving success in life and will walk away inspired and equipped to live for the purpose of His fame.
Rooted in Habakkuk 3:2 "Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy," My Fame, His Fame will spur the reader to usher in the fame of God. It will be organized into four parts based on Habakkuk's story: I) The Legend, II) The Proclamation, III) The Knowledge, IV) The Request.
