Book Description

We wouldn't use a "funhouse" mirror that distorts our reflection or a broken mirror that impairs our image to apply makeup or style our hair. Why, then, do we use the worldly mirrors of others' opinions and our own presumptuous thoughts to view our inner selves? These types of mirrors not only give us a false perception of ourselves, but they wound us and hold us captive by the reflected ugliness of fear, guilt, worry, condemnation, and perfectionism. Many of us see and feel the paralyzing effects of these ugly burdens, but we have no idea how to take them off. Consequently, So we continually live in the destructive trap of insecurity knowing deep down there is more to life than what we are experiencing. Seeing Yourself in the Mirror of Truth illuminates this destructive impact that deception and lies have on your identity. Not only will you become acquainted with the truth that sets you free from this trap, but you will be taught how to tame, shape, and polish your personality using God's mirror. Just like you partner with the mirror each morning to polish your appearance, you will learn how to partner with God through His Word to see and remove your ugly insecurities as you willingly let God transform you into a beautiful woman in Jesus Christ. Are you ready to look into the Mirror of Truth?

Book Description

Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about morality are progressive pioneers. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty about such issues are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. In eight lessons coordinated to be used alongside the Saving Truth Video Study, Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in, challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering a culture of confusion, and provides arguments from a Christian perspective for the foundations of truth applied to sexuality, identity, morality, and spirituality. Ultimately, the Saving Truth Study Guide will equip readers to engage the culture of confusion with the clarity that Christ offers.

Book Description

This companion study guide to Katherine Hager's book, Exchanging Mirrors, will help readers delve more deeply into the book of 1 Peter and consider personal applications for living out a Gospel-given identity. This study guide is a supplemental tool to be used in addition to the source text, Exchanging Mirrors, and is designed to encourage women to explore Scripture more thoroughly in their own study of what it means to have one's life centered around the Gospel. Book Description for Exchanging Mirrors: From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.So begins the epistle of Peter to the early church, a group of Christ-followers facing imminent and intense persecution. In the face of certain suffering, Peter gave the encouragement of hope in the reality of the gospel. The gospel was, and is, the only source of stability in a world of uncertainty, and to the scattered believers this was their anchoring assurance.Many women, however, are no longer content with this understanding of the gospel. Salvation has been repurposed as a self-improvement program or a means to having a happier life. The intersection of truth and deception forced by this worldview is blurred except when understood through the plumb line of the gospel.In Exchanging Mirrors, Katherine Hager encourages women to closely examine Peter's claims about the gospel and its implications for a Christ-follower's identity.

Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Actress and Main Floor host Nancy Stafford (best known for her starring role as Michelle Thomas on Matlock) digs below our culture's fixation on outward appearance to show you that true beauty is more than skin-deep. "Every woman has beauty," says Stafford, "but not everyone sees it. I want you to see it." In Beauty by the Book she bares her heart to readers, laying out the Scriptures, promises, and truths women need to know to find their true value. Her liberating reflections will help you see yourself as God sees you -- worthy, lovable, and beautiful.“Mirror, Mirror, on the W all…” What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see a unique individual created in the image of Beauty itself—one chosen, Cherished, and valued in the eyes of God? If not, you may be looking in the wrong mirror—one distorted by emotional wounds, lies from your past, or the unrealistic standards of our culture. “Everyone has beauty and worth,” says Nancy Stafford, “but not everyone sees it. I want you to see it.” Nancy shares her own poignant story and holds up the true mirror of God’s Word—inviting you to see yourself as God sees you, to absorb His truth, and to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the King is enthralled by your beauty!
