This peace is real, and God longs for all of us, no matter what we have endured, to enjoy it.




Modern-Day Jonah


Book Description

"Modern Day-Jonah is filled with practical ideas on how to break free from self-centered living and reach your potential for God and good in the world." Gary D. Chapman, Ph.D. - Author of The 5 Love LanguagesWhat is a Modern-Day Jonah? A Modern-Day Jonah is someone who ignores God's calling on their life. They make a conscious decision to disobey God and they are deliberate and calculated in their actions. They are fully aware of their choices and when the storms come, they ignore them, they aren't forthcoming with the truth, and they blame others-just like Jonah. What is the Modern-Day Jonah Syndrome? The Modern-Day Jonah Syndrome is a condition caused when a believer ignores God's word and calling in their life. The believer makes this choice because they want to do things their way. The Modern-Day Jonah Syndrome starts out slowly but can quickly consume a believer. It affects the behavior, emotions, and opinions of the believer and ultimately affects all those around the believer. As the Modern-Day Jonah Syndrome takes over, it suffocates one's ability to be Christlike and their desire to serve God.What are the Modern-Day Jonah Symptoms? The symptoms of the Modern-Day Jonah Syndrome include but aren't limited to: stress, anxiety, conflict, poor self-control, chaos, depression, misery, bitterness, strife, self-deception, confusion and sleep deprivation. Those affected with these symptoms search for and apply solutions to their problems like making money, buying things, taking trips, socializing, drinking and ignoring issues. However, these solutions may temporarily resolve the problem, but they will not last. What is the Modern-Day Jonah Cure? There is only one cure, and that cure is getting right with God. You must admit you aren't right with God, confess your sins to Him, and call out to Him in repentance. Until these steps are taken, your "storms" will continue to get worse. Are you suffering from the Modern-Day Jonah Syndrome? If so, this book is exactly what you need. It's Bible-based, Christ-centered and based on the author's personal story of being a Modern-Day Jonah.




The Jonah Complex


Book Description

“Here is a book that is both learned and easy-to-read, well-researched and inspiring. Greg Haslam has done a masterful job in producing a work that deserves to be read by every church leader and every believer. I pray that your mind will be challenged and your heart warmed by what you are about to read.” Dr. RT Kendall The message of Jonah to us today is both provocative and prophetic. It reminds us that God has a passion for reaching people that far exceeds our own. It reminds us that He is deeply affected by human sin and consistently seeks to win people back to Him by extending His outrageous grace to them. We all have something of Jonah in us. Like him, we are often wrapped up in our own concerns. But God gave Jonah a wake-up call he would never forget, setting him back on the path to achieving his destiny – and He can and will do the same for us! We may have messed up on the past or feel disqualified from doing anything great for God, but Jonah’s life is the ultimate evidence of the “God of the second chance”. Greg Haslam takes us on a journey to help us understand and cooperate with the will of God for our lives and highlights the power of what even one person can do if fully surrendered to the Almighty.

Transcend


Book Description

A bold reimagining of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs--and new insights for living your most authentic, fulfilled, and connected life. When positive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, exploration, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived. Maslow's model provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment--not by striving for money, success, or "happiness," but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. Transcend reveals a level of human potential that's even higher, which Maslow termed "transcendence." Beyond individual fulfillment, this way of being--which taps into the whole person-- connects us not only to our best self, but also to one another. With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with thought-provoking examples and personality tests, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection with our highest potential-- and beyond.




A Book About Love


Book Description

“Jonah Lehrer has a lot to offer the world….The book is interesting on nearly every page….Good writers make writing look easy, but what people like Lehrer do is not easy at all.” —David Brooks, The New York Times Book Review Science writer Jonah Lehrer explores the mysterious subject of love. Weaving together scientific studies from clinical psychologists, longitudinal studies of health and happiness, historical accounts and literary depictions, child-rearing manuals, and the language of online dating sites, Jonah Lehrer’s A Book About Love plumbs the most mysterious, most formative, most important impulse governing our lives. Love confuses and compels us—and it can destroy and define us. It has inspired our greatest poetry, defined our societies and our beliefs, and governs our biology. From the way infants attach to their parents, to the way we fall in love with another person, to the way some find a love for God or their pets, to the way we remember and mourn love after it ends, this book focuses on research that attempts, even in glancing ways, to deal with the long-term and the everyday. The most dangerous myth of love is that it’s easy, that we fall into the feeling and then the feeling takes care of itself. While we can easily measure the dopamine that causes the initial feelings of “falling” in love, the partnerships and devotions that last decades or longer remain a mystery. This book is about that mystery. Love, Lehrer argues, is not built solely on overwhelming passion, but, fascinatingly, on a set of skills to be cultivated over a lifetime.
