Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Not enough' is the theme of our day. Fear, scarcity, and inequality dominate the media cycle and are constant companions in our culture. While 74 percent of Americans believe in God, we can feel our world changing in ways that simply seem out of control. We want to cling to a sovereign and loving God who tells us repeatedly in Scripture to 'fear not,' yet it is estimated that nearly 90 percent of his followers have a scarcity mentality rooted in fear.Five times in Scripture, Jesus showed us a pattern to deal with fear and how to access his abundant provision, both spiritually and practically. In The God Guarantee, Jack Alexander uncovers the four steps in this pattern, showing readers how to live it out in order to experience true abundance. Far from a prosperity gospel, this book is not about how to get rich quick, how to manage your money, or how to give it all away. Instead, it will change the reader's conversations about finances completely and, as a result, will transform the way they see and access God's provision in every single area of their lives.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Throughout Scripture, God reveals himself as the great I Am. He does not define himself with reference to any thing, person, or trait. He is, and that is enough. Women find themselves in a far different situation. When we introduce ourselves, we typically describe ourselves in terms of our relationships (the wife, mother, daughter, sister, or friend of someone else) or in terms of our accomplishments (our title, position, education, or accolades). When our identity is wrapped up in these external things, we inevitably (and exhaustingly!) strive to prove ourselves worthy of love, attention, or affirmation. God never meant for us to focus on whether we are 'enough,' whether we measure up. He made us--every piece of us--to be just as he is. Jerusha Clark discovered this while exploring Jesus's seven powerful 'I am' statements recorded in the Gospel of John. She invites women to join her in embracing the life and truth of these words, relishing the freedom of an identity fixed on Christ alone while leaving behind fear, bitterness, busyness, and toxic thoughts that steal our joy and limit our power.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every Christian struggles with sin and wants to be victorious in the fight. There is no quick fix. Every Christian struggles with sin and wants to be victorious in the fight. Higher life theology -- also known as Keswick theology -- offers a quick fix for this struggle. It teaches that there are two categories of Christians: those who are merely saved and those who have really surrendered to Christ -- or those who have Jesus as their Savior alone and those who have him as their Master as well. If Christians can simply 'let go and let God' they can be free of struggling with sin and brought to that higher level of spiritual life. What could be wrong with that A lot, it turns out. In No Quick Fix, a shorter and more accessible version of his book Let Go and Let God , Andy Naselli critiques higher life theology from a biblical perspective. He shows that it leads not to freedom, but to frustration, because it promises something it has no power to deliver. Along the way, he tells the story of where higher life theology came from, describes its characteristics, and compares it to what the Bible really says about how we overcome sin and become more like Christ. - Publisher.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Spiritual disciplines are often viewed primarily as a means to draw us closer to God. While these practices do deepen and enrich our 'vertical' relationship with God, Kyle David Bennett argues that they were originally designed to positively impact our 'horizontal' relationships--with neighbors, strangers, enemies, friends, family, animals, and even the earth. Bennett explains that this 'horizontal' dimension has often been overlooked or forgotten in contemporary discussions of the spiritual disciplines.This book offers an alternative way of understanding the classic spiritual disciplines that makes them relevant, doable, and meaningful for everyday Christians. Bennett shows how the disciplines are remedial practices that correct the malformed ways we do everyday things, such as think, eat, talk, own, work, and rest. Through personal anecdotes, engagement with Scripture, and vivid cultural references, he invites us to practice the spiritual disciplines wholesale and shows how changing the way we do basic human activities can bring healing, renewal, and transformation to our day-to-day lives and the world around us.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Christianity Today Book Award WinnerOutreach Recommended Resource of the Year (Counseling and Relationships)The church and science have drifted apart over the past century. Today the church is often deemed irrelevant by those who trust science, and science is often deemed irrelevant by those whose primary loyalties are to the church.

Each chapter includes a section addressing Christian counselors who seek to promote happiness and fulfillment in others.…
