Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Peace, Purpose, and Potential began as a ministry tool for inmates in the state prison system, particularly the ones locked down in the cell blocks. These are guys that Reed desires to disciple but might only see once. It is a collection of things that he wants to share with them from the Bible and things he has learned through his own struggles and God's faithfulness. For us to improve our life and realize our potential, we must learn to make better decisions. In other words, we must be transformed by the renewing of our mind. As Reed began writing, he realized that a maturing Christian in the prison system is not that different from a maturing Christian outside the prison system, so the focus is not only on inmates but maturing Christians in general of all ages. Chapters 14 address biblical principles; then the focus changes from principles to life application of those principles in chapters 515. The goal of Peace, Purpose, and Potential is to inspire maturing Christians to pursue peace, purpose, and their God-given potential in all aspects of their life.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In regards to the process of getting clean and staying clean, there have been many, many methods developed over the years. If you are a person who has had your life kidnapped by drugs and you have found freedom using some of these methods, author Norman Sharkey says thank you for letting him join you! It doesn't matter what methods we use to stay drug-free; the important thing is that we do! Each person who has survived the insanity is one less problem for society and one more person with an answer for the people who are still kidnapped. Drugs don't just kidnap the user; they take the whole family hostage. Drugs have become a plague in our world-wide society. Families stand by helplessly as their loved ones are devoured by this culture. The money spent on drugs by one addict, in one day, could probably feed a whole family in some countries for a month or longer! Sharkey's only purpose for Sanity 365 is that in some way it may give you an extra little lift at some point during your day and remind you that the war is over and you survived it. We all know people who are still fighting; don't forget them! To the family of the user, Sharkey also understands the helplessness that you feel since you most likely tried everything that has been suggested in the way of solutions. If the results have been negative so far, don't give up hope; don't give the kidnapped one the excuse that you don't care. Make them accept the responsibility for their own situation. You are not forcing drugs on them. Seek help for your own sanity, because it will continue to be tested.…
