ROAR Back


Book Description

Instead of being frozen with fear, I have an unshakeable faith. Instead of being filled with endless questions, I have answers or I know where to get them. Maybe for you, it wasn't a job loss, maybe it was something else. My story is not unique, we are all hit by trials. The difference is what we choose to do with them. We are all hit by struggles in life - trials, transitions, and things that didn't go according to plan. The difference is what we do with them. When Cherlyn Decker was laid off all hell broke loose. She was paralyzed by her circumstances. Frozen with fear and filled with endless questions. She lost who she was. But in the middle of her mess, God showed up and he taught her how to roar back-- to find that voice inside of her that responds to her circumstances with confident boldness, that voice that sends packing all the doubts, fears, anxieties, and worries; and that voice that stops the chaos from spinning. How do you roar like that? Well, we have to face our trials with a lot of bravery and courage. We have to dig deep and know our identity - both who we are and whose we are - so we can stand in authority. We have to know how to partner with God to shift our circumstances.You can come out of the other side of your mess a warrior because she's done it. She has discovered how to triumph, how to fight back, how to overcome, and how to breakthrough. For the past 15 years, Cherlyn has helped hundreds of people just like YOU not only survive the trials but use them, learn from them and get breakthrough for ourselves and others. And now in this book, Cherlyn will teach you how to do just that, how to ROAR back. And when you do, then then you will not only transform your struggles into strength, but you will be equipped to face whatever comes your way.




Back Roads to Belonging


Book Description

At one time or another, shifting seasons in family, friendships, employment, and communities will bring each of us face-to-face with the feeling of being on the outside looking in. Because we are made for connection, this will often lead us down one of two roads. Either we will hop on the popular but crowded highway that asks us to do whatever it takes to get noticed, or we'll stand still, paralyzed by the fear that we're not important, loveable, or worth other people's time and attention. But what if there is another way? With an understanding voice that will speak into your own circumstances, Kristen Strong walks beside you along the less traveled but more satisfying third way--the back road way--to belonging: remaining in Christ and relaxing into the unique role God has for you. Along the way, you will learn simple, doable actions that not only will help you feel and know that you belong but will welcome others in as well.




Finding God's Life for My Will


Book Description

ECPA BESTSELLER • The lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for award-winning contemporary Christian band Tenth Avenue North shows readers that by seeking God first and focusing on serving Him, we can live daily in His will. "Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret--just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life. "This is my story...how I gave up begging to know God's will and began to ask His life to come and change my will." With his signature humor and relentless hunger for God, Mike will show you that discovering the Father's purpose and plan for our lives is not the shell game that we all too often make it out to be. If you're unsure what to do next, take heart and accept the ultimate invitation: learn to see God as the plan, not simply the formula to the plan.

You Are Next


Book Description

Most people never seize their moment because they are paralyzed by their own thinking. This book will teach you to let go of your excuses and never miss your moment again. It’s time for a change! It’s time to hear the voice of Jesus asking, “Do you want to get well?” And it’s time to answer Him with your obedience. Your destiny, future, and family are not controlled by “if only”; they rest in the hands of the One who loves you, saves you, redeems you, and heals you. Let go of your excuses, move beyond your conditional living, and break your cycle of dependency. It’s time to stand! Have you convinced yourself the abundant life Jesus came to bring is out of reach? Have you developed an “if only” mentality, waiting for something or someone to turn things around? While you become more and more dependent on your excuses, you watch others get what you want to have, go where you want to go, and experience what you long to feel. It seems it’s never your turn to experience the joy that comes from attaining all God has for you. In You Are Next, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez uses the story of Jesus healing the paralytic to powerfully illustrate that your “tendency for dependency” could be standing in the way of your miracle. He challenges you to do what’s necessary to receive it and shows you how to: Let go of old labels you’ve allowed to define you Move beyond barriers that limit you Stop seeing yourself as a victim and start seeing your circumstances as subject to the authority and power of Jesus Christ Let go of the qualifications you think are tacked on to Jesus’ command to get up and walk It’s time to step out in faith! You are next!




Paralyzed by Fear Strengthened by Faith


Book Description

The words in this book have been born from my own very real struggle with fear. Inside these pages, you will find powerful verses from the Bible in Jesus' own words, saying "Do not fear!" and "Take courage!" You will also find this broken woman's battle of hiding who she really is out of fear of being discovered to be less than what she is supposed to be. This book is a testimony of God's faithfulness during times I have gone through when I was at the lowest of the low. God has remained faithful to His Word as it is revealed in the Bible. His promises have never ceased to prove true. This is a book testifying to the constancy of God. He remains the same in every situation-in every trial-in every joy. His message in His Word, too, remains the same, and is always pertinent. It is Alive and Active and Very applicable to every one of my days-including Today. His Word is always true-He has the Answers for us there, and we can always trust Him to lead us to the truth if we will but seek Him with all of our hearts. Good Christian friend, rejoice! My prayer is that as you read each entry and every Bible verse in this little book, you will find one common denominator ringing out loud and clear: There is always Hope in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, and nothing we face will ever be too big for us to tackle with the power of our faith in Him and in His Holy Word, the Bible! May this book encourage you in your own struggles in your faith walk with Jesus to dig in deep to the Word of God for yourself, that you may find the solid rock on which to stand-for when we obey and follow God's Word, our foundation is firm, and our faith can never be shaken!




Reaching for Wonder


Book Description

Sometimes life hurts. Sometimes you’ve struggled, and stumbled, until it even hurts to hope. Perhaps you’ve faced a spiritual crisis of disappointment, doubt, or a feeling of distance from God due to unanswered prayers and painful circumstances. But what does it mean to encounter Christ in those times? What does he say to us when we have nothing left to say? How do we see him when pain has silenced our prayers and blinded our souls? In Reaching for Wonder, Marlo Schalesky explores fifteen of the New Testament’s one-time encounters with Christ to illuminate the surprising character of a God who transforms our pain into wonder. Because sometimes life isn’t at all as we want it to be... Because we lose the wonder in the hardships of life ... Because encountering Christ changes everything... Like those who have gone before, following God’s call isn’t about easy faith, a life of effortlessness, or every prayer answered when and how we want. Instead, it’s about encountering God so deeply, so significantly, that everything about your circumstances, about your life, about you, changes because of God. In these New Testament stories you’ll find guidance to a deeper understanding of God’s plan for you, a more vibrant faith, and a fuller trust in God. Plus you’ll find hope in knowing that your life may not be as you had envisioned it, but is one in which God is doing a mighty work.
