Book Description

In our culture today, Christians all around America are finding it hard to battle the spiritual warfare that is all around us. We find ourselves busy, tired, frustrated, and to the point of burning out. Our tendency as humans is to fight our battles with our own strength. Like King Saul, we don't wait on the Lord. We rush into battle before God arrives, because we believe our gifts and talents are enough. This has become a common reaction in life until we are confronted with a storm so great that it reminds us of our need and dependence on Christ to intervene on our behalf. The purpose of Abide: Forty Days to Abounding Freedom in Christ is to remind us that we are to remain in Christ at all times. Jesus clearly told us in John 15 that He is the vine and we are the branches. The branches by themselves will not produce fruit. Only when we are connected to the vine will we be able to endure life's most difficult challenges. Even when we engage in the most mundane things in life, it is important that we learn abide and lean on Christ. Like Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, we must remain in Him so that His Spirit will exude from us and produce the good fruit. Abide is a forty-day devotional that teaches what it means to remain in Christ by highlighting eight different areas of practice. These areas include abiding in Christ, the Word, prayer, fire, suffering, hope, rest, and love.

Book Description

It seems wherever you look today, people are starting a new brand, whether it be through their YouTube channels, blogs, or websites. Often, they even create their own apparel with their logos on it to sell to the public. Peoples' identities are very much tied into the brand they have created. While there is nothing wrong with this practice, the belief system in our postmodern culture has created a deep-seated confusion regarding identity, morality, and truth. This has led to a faulty worldview that is saturated with a "me mentality." People now make up what is right and wrong, and they wrap it up in a logo and market it to the world. The purpose of Brand Yourself with Honor is to bring us back to a biblical definition of what it looks like to have honor in our lives. Brand Yourself with Honor is forty-day devotional based off of 2 Peter 1:5-8, which lists seven different characteristics, such as virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. These seven characteristics, listed by the apostle Peter, are not optional but are necessary in order to brand our lives with honor and integrity. As believers in Christ, our lives must be a testimony to the character of God. When the world sees us, it should think of Christ Jesus Himself. When we live out these seven characteristics, we will, no doubt, bring honor to His name.

Book Description

Journey through Lent with Best-Selling Author Paul David Tripp "During our forty days together, may your mourning increase so that your joy may deepen." — Paul David Tripp Lent is a time in the yearly Christian calendar when we mourn our sin and let go of worldly things that keep our hearts from experiencing God more fully. But how do we reevaluate and recalibrate the values of our hearts to match those of our suffering Savior? In this forty-day Lenten devotional, best-selling author Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. Each of the short readings encourages us to abide in the abundant joy found in Christ as we encounter the Savior more fully and follow him more faithfully during this Lenten season.

Book Description

On August 14, 2011, when I was in Kandergrund in the Bernese Highlands in Switzerland an important connection became very clear to me. I recognized a spiritual cause for why we are losing part of our youth. I was very shocked. I thought of my children and grandchildren. Since then I have been intensively occupied with this subject.Now I believe that the same spiritual cause is behind many of our problems; specifically the personal problems, in the local churches and the world-wide church. It is the lack of the Holy Spirit. If this is the cause, then we should urgently address this issue. If the cause can be eliminated or considerably reduced, then many problems will become superfluous or will be resolved.

What would you be willing to give up to experience the presence of God in your life again? Many of us sign up for a physical detox program, thinking that if our bodies are healthier, then we're healthier. But a healthy body doesn't do us a lot of good if we are spiritually malnourished. Welcome to the 40-Day Sugar Fast, a fast that begins with us giving Jesus our sugar and ends with Jesus giving us more of himself--the only thing that can ever truly satisfy our soul's deep hunger. On this 40-day journey you'll learn how to stop fixating on food and other things you use to fill the voids in life and instead fix your eyes on Christ. Anyone who runs to sugar for comfort or a reward, who eats mindlessly or out of boredom, who feels physically and spiritually lethargic, or who struggles with self-control will discover here not only freedom from their cravings but an entirely new appetite for the good things God has for us.

Book Description

Based on the popular spiritual healing program designed by Bob Schuchts and the John Paul II Healing Center, Lenten Healing offers a twist to traditional Lenten fasting: instead of giving up chocolate, give up your sin. This daily Lenten devotional offers a unique approach to fasting, helping you reexamine the psychological and spiritual roots of sin in your life while sharing reflections and prayer exercises for overcoming sinful habits and acquiring virtuous ones. Lent is the ideal time to identify and address "spiritual blind spots"—unacknowledged emotional wounds and false ideas that hinder your prayer life and worship. During each week of Lent, Ken Kniepmann of the John Paul II Healing Center breaks open one of the seven deadly sins (pride, lust, gluttony, sloth, anger, envy, and greed) and its corresponding virtue (humility, chastity, abstinence, diligence, patience, kindness, and liberality). You'll start by learning about the sin and how it manifests itself in daily life and thought patterns. Then you'll move into reflection and prayer exercises that guide you through the process of renouncing that week's sin and resolving to adopt that week's virtue. Fasting, the practice of giving up pleasures or comforts, allows us to grow in holiness by putting our desires to a kind of death. Obvious examples include giving up a habit such as a favorite food, sleeping in, or late-night TV—but what happens when you try to give up your sins while recognizing the deeper reasons you commit them in the first place? By seeing those connections and praying specifically for God's insight, healing, and revelation, you’ll be able to experience God’s mercy and love to a greater capacity. Kniepmann helps you see how the depth of Catholic teaching is connected to your daily life. Sin isn't just an activity; it is a place of the heart (the interior life) and the movement of the heart (toward or away from sin) as related to thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. By the time Easter arrives, you'll possess a deeper understanding of sin and emotional wounds as impediments to intimacy with God and come away with tangible, practical tools for addressing those impediments in your life.
