EMBARK ON A JOURNEY TO DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF If someone asks you who you are, you probably have a pat answer that tells them what you do. But saying who you are? That's not always so easy. In See Yourself Beautiful, See Yourself Happy: An Invitation to Discover Who You Were Meant to Be, Sonia Luna invites you to discover your true identity as a beloved child of God. Through each chapter, Sonia shows her vulnerability, sharing details of her life as a daughter, wife, mother, and minister of the Lord. She offers insights into spiritual, psychological, and emotional issues that confront us as life unfolds. In an intimate, relatable narrative, Sonia describes how the psychological and emotional wounds that once affected us in our childhood and youth can continue to cause deep traumas that alter or threaten our identity. But she offers reason for hope, affirming that there is not a single life that cannot be transformed by God. Sonia invites you to discover your identity through the infinite catalyst of Christ. By placing your life in His hands, you will see yourself as you are--beautiful, valued, and loved, with a divine purpose that He has planned just for you.

All of us are recovering from something. Whether it's an addiction, a painful incident from our past, or a daily challenge just to get by in this world, something is holding us back from the promised-land life God wants for us. Real recovery isn't a one-time event or a process that fits into twelve steps or a preset length of time. Uncovering how to live free of what holds you back is a lifelong journey, and one that is best traveled with others. The Uncovery Devotional: Rethinking Recovery One Day at a Time will help you take those steps toward a better, healthier, happier you. The authors, George A. Wood and Brit Eaton, know that battles with addiction, mental health, suicidal thoughts, and past trauma cannot be won overnight. They've been in your shoes. And they provide the love, commitment, and compassion that will help you uncover and heal the bottom-line issue that causes you to struggle in the first place. Each month follows a theme, such as reflection, relationship, and reconciliation, while each day provides a short Scripture and prayer. Wild opportunities for hope, healing, and transformation exist for you in the Christian recovery space because you're not working to recover an old, broken life--you're going after a brand new one. You'll discover the truth about who you really are and Whose you really are so that you can reach deep levels of healing and deliverance.

Queremos amar a Dios con todo nuestro corazón, pero a menudo nos encontramos esforzándonos por agradarle, muy conscientes de nuestras debilidades. A medida que se acumulan nuestros fracasos, nos frustramos y desanimamos. ¿Hemos perdido la esencia del evangelio? ¿Existe una manera simple, pero verdadera, de servir a Dios, que pueda llenarnos de gozo y paz en lugar de miedo y desánimo? Santa Teresa de Lisieux enfrentó luchas similares. Como mujer joven que deseaba entregarse a Dios, se sintió intimidada ante la "la empinada escalera de la perfección". Thérése escudriñó las Escrituras hasta que descubrió un camino hacia la libertad. La llamó "pequeño camino". Este es "el camino de la infancia espiritual, el camino de la confianza y la entrega absoluta". Es un reconocimiento de que mientras somos pequeños e imperfectos, tenemos un Dios poderoso que nos alcanza con infinito amor, gracia y fuerza para cuidar de todas nuestras necesidades. Mientras Thérése seguía este nuevo camino, se consideraba una "pequeña flor" en el jardín de Jesús. Ella entendió que era amada por su Padre celestial y hermosa ante sus ojos, y que podía florecer justo donde Él la plantó mientras diariamente demostraba Su amor incondicional a los demás, en pequeños, pero significativos actos de bondad, e intercedió en su nombre. Este hermoso libro de regalo destaca la profunda comprensión de Santa Teresa sobre la fe y la devoción, mientras captura visualmente, a través de flores como simples ilustraciones, el tema de la sencillez que impregnó su vida. Al leer extractos de la autobiografía, la poesía y las cartas de Santa Teresa, con los versículos bíblicos que los acompañan, aprenderá a descansar en los brazos amorosos de su Padre celestial, permitiendo que su propia fe crezca y florezca. We want to love God with all our hearts, but we often find ourselves striving in our efforts to please Him, acutely aware of our weaknesses. As our failures pile up, we become frustrated and discouraged. Have we missed the essence of the gospel? Is there a simple but true way to serve God that can fill us with joy and peace rather than fear and discouragement? St. Thérèse of Lisieux faced similar struggles. As a young woman who desired to abandon herself to God, she felt daunted at the thought of climbing "the steep stairway of perfection." Thérèse searched the Scriptures until she discovered a path to freedom she called her "little way." This is "the way of spiritual childhood, the way of trust and absolute surrender." It is a recognition that while we are small and imperfect, we have a mighty God who reaches out to us with infinite love, grace, and strength to take care of all our needs. As Thérèse followed this new path, she considered herself a "little flower" in Jesus's garden. She understood that she was beloved by her heavenly Father and delightful in His eyes. And she could bloom right where He planted her as she daily demonstrated His unconditional love to others in small but meaningful acts of kindness and interceded on their behalf. This beautiful book highlights St. Thérèse's deep insights into faith and devotion, while visually capturing, through simple floral illustrations, the theme of simplicity that permeated her life. As you read excerpts from St. Thérèse's autobiography, poetry, and letters--tracing such themes as "littleness," God's immense love for us, our devotion to God, loving others, prayer, humility, surrender, sacrifice, trust, and the joys of heaven--you will learn to rest in the loving arms of your heavenly Father, allowing your own faith to grow and flourish.

What would it have looked like and felt like to walk daily with Jesus during His time on earth, sharing in what He experienced and taught? And how does His life have significance for our own lives today? We can answer these questions by following in His footsteps--each step of the way. In any journey, the destination is important, but just as significant is the life we experience as we travel that path. Jesus' journey was similar. Who He traveled with, where He went, and what He experienced along the way were all important to Him. He's still on His journey, and He has invited you to join Him on it. This new devotional series, Life Along the Way, takes you through the life of Jesus by way of all four Gospels and the first chapter of Acts. In four 90-day devotionals, you can travel with Jesus for a full year if you wish--from His birth, to His ministry and miracles, to His relationships with the people around Him, to His death, resurrection, and ascension. The four devotionals in the journey, which you can read either sequentially or in any order, are: 1. Jesus With Us: Meeting Him Where He Began 2. Jesus Among Us: Walking with Him in His Ministry and Miracles 3. Jesus Through Us: Following His Example in Love and Service 4. Jesus in Us: Living Wholeheartedly the Life He Intends In this devotional, Jesus with Us, you will stop at important early places along Jesus's path, including His birth, the fulfillment of the promises of His coming, the plot to kill the Christ Child, Jesus's youth, the beginning of His ministry, the calling of His first followers, and His famous Sermon on the Mount. This devotional is designed so that... Each day's Scripture will be life-transforming Each day's "Life Lessons from Jesus" will be dynamic and relevant Each day's questions will be reflective and self-exploring, leading to spiritual growth Each day's prayer will be authentic and relational The beginning of Jesus's story is powerful, but it can also be very personal. As you journey each day with the Savior, you will learn to love Jesus and love like Jesus. Where are you on your walk with Jesus?

JourneyWise: Finding meaning in each step along the path of life and being transformed by the journey as a whole. A common thread binds us together: the broken and winding roads we all travel. Most of us carry with us some form of spiritual, emotional, or physical baggage. That type of weight takes its toll. Our paths can be difficult or daunting if we try to journey them on our own. In JourneyWise, noted pastor and author Shane Stanford offers us a different understanding of our life's path, enabling us to reframe our journey into one that is healed and redeemed. He begins by asking these questions: What if you could have Jesus Himself as your life's companion? What if you had access to His innermost thoughts, tapping into His wisdom? What if your story could intimately intertwine with His and of others who closely follow Him? And what if all of this were possible by purposefully applying only a few paragraphs of His teachings? The Beatitudes are more than just poetic verse used to begin Jesus's Sermon on the Mount. They are the essence of Jesus's message from beginning to end. These familiar words establish the overall tone of Jesus's teaching ministry and reveal His most deeply held values. To be JourneyWise is to discover and live out the simple yet powerful truths of the Beatitudes. It is through the Beatitudes, which literally mean "blessings," that Jesus gives us a new definition of significance before leading us to reflect on the deeper meaning of life, our relationship with God, and the interconnections we have with others. They speak to our friendships, actions, fears, prejudices, and joys. They are pragmatic, powerful lessons wrapped in simple words. In their simplicity and accuracy, the Beatitudes yield amazing results when practiced faithfully. This book will stir your spirit and touch your emotions to bring healing so you can follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Writing with honesty, poignancy, and compassion about the complexities of our daily existence, Shane shows how, in each beatitude, Jesus provides a foundation for developing a significant and spiritually formed life. Here, you will find words of hope and the infinite possibilities of Christ's simple blessings. JourneyWise with Jesus.

What if you never expected miraculous healing was possible but were surprised when it actually happened, or by the way in which it happened? And what if you found out that, all along, the Bible had principles for healing prayer that we could apply to our lives for restoring body, mind, and spirit? Join authors David Chotka and Maxie Dunnam in their unexpected journeys of discovery that healing prayer is God's idea, not a human concept, and that He invites us to intercede for healing in our own lives and on behalf of others. Prayer, including healing prayer, is one of the greatest activities in which Christians can participate with God to fulfill His purposes. God wants us to pray as an integral part of our relationship with Him and as a vital aspect of our life of faith. This intriguing book covers such topics as: Healing prayer: what does the Bible say? Medicine, miracle, and mystery: how they interrelate Why and how we pray for healing The role of compassion in healing Christ's forgiving and healing presence within us How to prepare yourself for prayer Eight ways healing prayer is misunderstood Healing Prayer includes accounts of God's power to heal today, and it provides guidance for how to organize a prayer team in your small group, church, or denomination. Above all, this book shows that it is God who initiates healing prayer. Our part is to respond to His instructions and leading as we pray. All He asks is our openness to Him. Read this book and you, too, may be surprised by the power of Healing Prayer.

When circumstances in our life change, many of us are left feeling uncertain and uneasy. From pandemics to natural disasters, from personal traumas to workplace issues, we often find ourselves at a crossroads--hurting, blindsided, and confused about what to do. Michelle McKinney Hammond knows all about life's curveballs. She's caught plenty of them. But when she was visiting England for some speaking engagements and the world suddenly went into lockdown mode because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she was taken by surprise along with the rest of us. It was time for her to shift gears. Again. Like a dear friend who's been where you are now, Michelle offers a calming voice of reason in When Shift Happens: Say Yes to Your Next! Weaving stories from Scripture with tales from her own life, she offers heartfelt lessons, prayers, and reflection questions to help you embrace your next. When Shift Happens will: Provide practical tools for navigating change Give you solid spiritual principles for dealing with life's shiftsEnable you to consider the value of mistakesHelp you embrace change as opportunityShift your perspective to expect the best as God redirects"Mindset is everything when confronted with unanticipated change," Michelle notes. "You are never out of options unless you choose to be. Emerging cycles all point to one thing--whether you are ready or not, shift happens. It's not the end. There's always a next!"

Everyone has secrets. Elizabeth Good's seem shocking - at first - until the room begins to shift, hands raise, tears well, and hurting hearts respond, "I thought I was the only one." Brave enough to lay her own story on the table, Elizabeth Good noticed, as the scales of shame and fear began to fall from her eyes, the same was happening to others in domino effect of healing. Thousands who have lived paralyzed by secrets are learning to speak up and live free through Good's Real Talk curriculum, and the move of God is not so quietly transforming churches, business, families, and communities. Now readers can engage with the same tools, giving them permission (often for the first time in their lives) to Speak the Unspeakable and change the trajectory of their life, discovering their purpose for impacting others, and becoming the ultimate key to unlock a spirit of silence and brokenness threatening to tear the contemporary church apart. Speak the Unspeakable is an invitation to transformation and a handbook for getting the job done. The world of silence in which we've been living, is starting to shift culturally as Good leads others (individuals and groups from kids to CEOs) through her unconventional approach to emotional healing and next-level living. Using the language and lessons gained from her decades as a pastor, licensed psychologist, and not-for-profit activist working with sex trafficking victims, Good is uniquely equipped to guide and support readers on their journey as they "trade unspoken problems for unspeakable results."

It's hard enough having a painful secret that you are terrified of sharing. It's even harder when you find yourself in the international limelight as the advocate wife of a Christian hero imprisoned for his faith. The worst part is fearing that, if you did share this secret, it might devastate the lives of your family and close friends, alienate tens of thousands of active supporters, and cause persecuted people around the world to become even more vulnerable. Naghmeh Abedini Panahi lived in constant tension from the irreconcilable realities playing out in her own life, in her family life, in the conduct of others, and on the worldwide stage as she interacted with power brokers and well-known religious leaders. Tension involving: Steadfastly honoring God versus being carried away by the tide of circumstancesPersonal reality versus public personaGenuine faith versus hypocritical religionTruth and caring versus the end justifying the meansObedience to God versus loyalty to othersFor Naghmeh, it all came to a breaking point, and the only way through it was to die. Not physically, but in experiencing a death and rebirth in her understanding of God, her faith, and her identity as a woman. "I can't tell you how I was able to make it through, because I didn't," she writes. "Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, the new me emerged from the catastrophe of my marriage." I Didn't Survive: Emerging Whole After Deception, Persecution, and Hidden Abuse is Naghmeh's firsthand story, which takes you from war-torn Tehran to the quiet Midwestern U.S. to the halls of power in Washington D.C. It vividly describes the Islamic upbringing that shaped her, her unexpected conversion to Christianity, and the events that led to her marriage to Saeed Abedini, a magnetic pastor in the Iranian underground church. The book details Saeed's arrest and imprisonment for preaching the gospel, her fateful decision to share the truth about her husband, her betrayal and abandonment by former supporters, and the new life of advocacy for women that has arisen from the brokenness. Through the pain, abuse, and loss, Naghmeh clearly demonstrates what it means for us to find our true identity in God, discover the protective care God has for His children, and participate in sharing the love and healing He desires to bring to the world.

Everyone is familiar with the Bible--after all, it's still the best-selling book in the world. But just exactly how did we get the collection of sixty-six books that make up God's Word? The Book that Conquered Time: How the Bible Came to Be tells the sometimes dramatic, always fascinating, and ultimately faith-building story of the Bible. It traces its history from ancient parchments to the modern work of translating the Word into everyday language. You will discover: The differences and similarities between the Jewish holy books and the Christian BibleHow the New Testament writings were copied and collected, including the apocryphal gospels and lettersThe church leaders who succeeded the apostles, what they wrote, and what they thought of the writings they inheritedThe church councils, controversies, and disputes that boiled over in the 300sWhy certain writings were removed from the Bible, even though they might be helpful if not essential for our faithThe purposes of modern Bible translations and the differences between themThe Book that Conquered Time provides fresh insights on why the Bible continues to be the most powerful book of all time.

Protect Yourself in the End-Times Confusion What is the greatest danger for believers at the end of the age? Is it persecution? Natural disasters? Financial collapse? Internationally renowned Bible teacher Derek Prince warns that the most pressing danger is not any of these but rather deception. Satanic deception in the forms of false teaching, counterfeit signs and wonders, and other spiritual treachery is a Battle of the Ages that began in the garden of Eden and is intensifying to its greatest pitch in these end times. The danger of deception in this battle is high, even if we are confident that we are "safe." Derek explains, "Anyone who denies his vulnerability to deception is already deceived, for Jesus has foretold it, and He does not err." We are living in a dangerous time in which we require God's supernatural warnings and wisdom. We must learn to recognize our own self-deception and to discern the end-time plots of the enemy before being drawn in to his tricks and schemes. The Battle of the Ages will equip you to: Test the source of supernatural signs and wondersDiscern truth from falsehoodLearn the characteristics of candidates for deceptionKnow the safeguards against deceptionBreak free from pride, a stronghold of SatanResist the schemes of Satan and share in Jesus's triumph over himRecognize the mixture of the false church within the true churchDistinguish the Holy Spirit from counterfeit spiritsKeep your heart pure and surrendered to GodPowerfully share the gospel to bring in a great harvestYou can uncover Satan's strategies, effectively engage in spiritual warfare, free others from the enemy's grip--and win the battle over deception and destruction.

For better or worse, people will define the quality of your life and your future. Everything has to do with people--and how we respond to them. In many of our endeavors, people are the single most important factor in our sense of well-being and happiness. Yet, even though we depend on the influence, cooperation, knowledge, and affirmation of others--and others depend on us--we are rarely taught how to understand and effectively relate to our family members, friends, coworkers, and others we encounter each day. In the ideal world, people value each other and nobody judges anyone else, our families are loving and supportive, and we forgive those who offend us. But in the real world, it often isn't that way. Friends gossip about us, enemies try to undermine us, those who should love us may abandon us, and we sometimes hold on to resentments for years. When problems or issues arise in relationships, we fall back on our emotions or past patterns of dealing with conflict. We withdraw from other people or lash out at them. That's why we need to develop the art of being a People Specialist. International speaker Tiago Brunet has spent years researching and teaching others how to become experts in real-life relationships. In People Specialist, he explains: How to be intentional about building strong relationships in all arenas of lifeThe three spheres of friendship: strategic, necessary, and closeHow to manage unavoidable and avoidable relationshipsThe elements that lead to a strong and lasting marriageHow understanding ourselves enables us to cultivate positive relationshipsHow to see ourselves as others see usHow to implement a program of personal development and successTime-tested biblical principles for connecting to others and resolving conflictsHow to see the best in others and invest in themWith humor, frankness, and energy, Brunet shows how anyone can become a People Specialist, transforming their own life and the lives of those around them.
