Book Description

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Book Description

Has there ever been a time when you ever said the following words: Oh Lord give me strength? Was there ever a time when it seemed as if your strength was "failing" or "leaving" you? The weighted "blocks of life" are continually falling down on you, and you feel no relief at all. Your "tank of tolerance" is also at an all time low, and on top of that your "day-to-day" items in the "stuff bag" called "life" is just about full. Well, I have great news for you! Where your "strength" falls short, God's strength stands up! For the bible declares in II Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." In fact, Jesus has a 100% guarantee on any affliction, struggle or trial you may be experiencing. This 100% guarantee is by way of the "Afflictions Benefits Package." The Lord defines it in these terms in Psalm 34:19, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." In other words, it's a "fixed fight" and a for sure win despite the hardships encountered. Each morning that heaven claps it's hands and says "wake up," we've got to know that we are on God's mind. He's ready to give us the assurance, guidance, and strength that we need for our journey through all life's struggles.

Book Description

You don’t have to understand God to trust him. “Just trust me.” Those are the words we often hear in movies just before something bad happens. And yet, we are told to trust God. In a culture where we tend to take control of our own lives, trusting God has become a religious platitude rather than a life-changing attitude. We say it, but do we really mean it? And what does trusting God really look like? Sharon, Mary, and Gwen—the Girlfriends in God ministry team—have been there. They’ve traveled the tough roads of life to discover the peace and power that comes from grabbing the hand of God and trusting his plan. The life stories they share bring laughter and sometimes tears, but always spiritual growth. Each of the 12-week sections concludes with a Bible study guide and journal page, inviting you to lock arms with Sharon, Mary, and Gwen and share with other women in a small group setting or to use individually in your own quiet time.
