Who would imagine being friends with Eve - the woman who’s been held responsible for the fall of humanity (and cramps) for thousands of years? Certainly not Sarah Jakes Roberts. That is, not until Sarah discovered she is more like Eve than she cares to admit. Everyone faces trials, and everyone will mess up. But failure should not be the focus. Your focus should not be on who you were but rather the pursuit of who you can become.

In this astonishing, eye-opening book, Shaun reveals the truths, the lies, and the ugly sides of NDE accounts, empowering you to discern what’s trustworthy, disprove what’s dangerous, and confidently know what awaits you on the other side.

Not a day goes by without our being called upon to help one another - at home, at work, on the street, on the phone. We do what we can. Yet so many questions come up to complicate this natural response. In this practical helper's companion, the authors explore a path through these confusions and provide support and inspiration for us in our efforts as members of the helping professions, as volunteers, as community activists, or simply as friends and family trying to meet each other's needs.

Who are you when the teeth come out? For every true act of leadership, there is an equal and monstrous act of sabotage. Our leaders have been entirely routed by the agitated and the anxious. These emotional tyrannies manifest themselves in local libraries, HR cubicles, elder meetings, and at your Thanksgiving dinners.

In this compelling and gripping book, Preston tells the story of how God chased him. The streets of Chicago were his home, and it was there that he encountered all sorts of people who had their own versions of the truth―from Jehovah Witnesses to Mormons to Hebrew Israelites. That is where Preston discovered not only the importance of the truth but how to tell the truth in a way that speaks to someone’s heart. Sharing our faith is not about winning arguments; it’s about winning hearts.

A home ripped apart by one spouse leaving reverberates with a host of unanswered questions. Simple answers don't exist - heartrending complexities do.

In this transformative guide, men and women who are separated but hopeful for restoration will discover life-changing truths about God, themselves, and their marriages.

In his entertaining and inspiring follow-up to Love Does, Bob Goff takes listeners on a journey into the secret of living without fear, constraint, or worry. This liberated existence we all long for is as simple to say as it is difficult to do: We are called to love everybody, always – even when it’s really difficult.

Kind, encouraging, and humorous, Karen Ehman helps us learn the essential practice of using our words more effectively - alleviating heartache and regret, reducing relational tension and conflict, lessening our stress levels, and growing our relationship with God. From Bible times to modern times women have struggled with their words. What to say and how to say it. What not to say. When it is best to remain silent. And what to do when you’ve said something you wish you could now take back.

My title explains itself. But it's misleading. There are more than 40 reasons. Each of my reasons is an independent point, so I have not organized this book by a succession of chapters or headings. After all, most people only remember a few big ideas or separate points after reading or listening to a book. I've never heard anyone say "Oh, that was a good continuous-process-of-logically-ordered-argumentation" but I've often heard people say, "Oh, that was a good point." And back to my main point: "Why are you a Catholic?" is a good question. A good question deserves a good answer.

Internationally renowned Bible teacher Joyce Meyer draws on her own history of abuse to show women how Christ's redeeming love heals emotional wounds and brings joy to life.

The Only Way Forward Is Back is a riveting account of perseverance, sacrificial love, and transformative grace. It invites us to view our personal stories through the lens of a literal and spiritual orphan who learned to hold fast to his identity as God’s beloved child—and inspires each one of us to do the same.

Tired of arguing with your spouse over the same old issues? Longing for a marriage with less conflict and more intimacy? Struggling under a load of resentment?

These 90 devotions are for anyone who is waiting in the dark, wondering when life will get better. Some reflections will encourage you to press on, some will help you process your losses, others will make you laugh, and still others will show you the gift of lament, in both its grittiness and grace. Ultimately, they’re all intended to draw you closer to the God who is always for you–who is nearer than you know and loves you more than you can imagine.

If you've wondered what about the difference between your role and God's role in your spiritual formation, this book will show you how to rest in Christ while pursuing a life of holiness.

Have you reached the point of no return in your walk with Christ? Culture so easily distracts us from stepping into a life of fullness through Christ. The number of voices in our lives has increased, and so has the chaos. There is a fickleness so prevalent in our aimless culture that it infiltrates our hearts and keeps us from pursuing Jesus to the point of no return. It’s time to go all-in for Jesus. As Signorelli shares a glimpse into his own journey with Christ, while also exploring the lives of Joshua and Caleb in the Bible, you’ll learn: The different ways you can go From Chaos to ...

What if the battle you're fighting didn’t start with you—but ends with you? Some families rise, only to fall again. Promising destinies are swallowed in mid-flight. Cycles of delay, shame, sudden death, and near-success syndromes keep repeating—generation after generation. You feel it deep inside: you were born to break this pattern. This isn’t just a personal battle—it’s a generational war. You’re not just fighting for yourself. You’re fighting for the children yet unborn, for the bloodline that’s been crying out for a deliverer. And you’re not alone. There’s a reason...

Doesn’t that blow your mind? Even more mind-blowing, the Lord wants to use you to do those things. Think of it. God desires to do ...

You might be a black-and-white thinker if you think concretely, if emotions are difficult to grasp, if you struggle with compassion or empathy, if you are a perfectionist, and if you think everything is all or nothing, right or wrong, or good or bad. Or perhaps you love a black-and-white thinker. The Black-and-White Thinking Christian explores the characteristics of these types of thinkers through a Biblical lens. While they reflect God’s character as emphasized in the Old Testament, many tend to struggle with relationships as they perceive and prioritize situations differently. The Black...
