Joyce Meyer is an expert in perseverance and overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. She survived a childhood of abuse, a bad marriage, and extremely limited opportunities to become one of the most popular authors in the world. If there's anyone who knows how to hold onto a dream and see it realized, it's Joyce. "Never Give Up!" is full of examples of people who pursued their goals with determination. Joyce describes about fifty individuals who triumphed against all odds – from the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge to the chemists who invented Post-it notes. We meet people who experienced incredible tragedies and prevailed, including Marian Hammaren, whose only daughter was killed in the Virginia Tech shooting, and Aron Ralston, who self-amputated his hand to survive a climbing accident.Never Give Up! provides us with solid, tested tools to face life's challenges and reminds us that with God, nothing is impossible. When you finish reading "Never Give Up!" you'll want to rekindle your dream and start on the path to making it come true.

A close look at a period of disappointment and anger toward God that offers hope to anyone who has ever experienced spiritual silence and darkness. An encouragement to believe when God seems silent.A close look at the dark night of the soul in Catherine Marshall's life. Over seventeen years had to pass before Catherine Marshall LeSourd's book Light in My Darkest Night was written. Catherine had always intended to write it herself, but for some reason the opportune moment never seemed to come. After a few years, I began to wonder if the events of such a significant phase in her life would ever be told. But as time went on, the story not only didn't fade, but kept coming up in conversations with friends and family: 'Do you remember the summer of 1971? How many lives were touched… How long did it take Catherine to recover? What book did she talk about it in?' The answer to the last question is: no book. Catherine Marshall dedicated only a few passages in a couple of her books to her period of trials and tribulations, but she kept much of her anguish and desolation hidden from her readers, her friends, and even her family.Now these intense and compelling pages describe her slow, painful ascent from the depths of her spiritual valley.Assembled from journals and recorded interviews, Light in My Darkest Night will convey an unforgettable message of hope: if we allow Him, the Lord will help us become strong precisely in our weaknesses.

Of all the demons Frank Peretti has written about, this is anything but fiction... If you've ever been there, you've never forgotten it. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smell of a middle school locker room.It is the feeling of being too short or too tall... awkward or less than beautiful. Or of being a dork... a nerd... or just, somehow, different. It is knowing you are vulnerable – and that someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable.It's the fraternity you never wanted to be a part of – the fraternity of the wounded spirit. In his first work of nonfiction, Frank Peretti examines the pain from his own past and helps us uncover the scars in our personal lives. Drawing on tragic current events such as Columbine, he shows us how ridicule and rejection can push people over the edge. Then, with poignant introspection, he shows us how to heal the wounded spirit that lies within each of us.

"I have come to the conclusion that a faith that is not practical cannot have positive effects for the growth of God's Kingdom and is not accepted by our Heavenly Father." This is what the author writes, and the aim of the book The Dynamics of the Life of Faith is to provide valuable help to all Christians...to understand the true meaning of the concept of faith expressed in the Bible and to see how this concept can be integrated into daily experience in a corrupt world. Faith is the foundation of the Christian life. And if the foundation is not solid, how will we build a structure upon it—in this case, life?It is not a useless theological dissertation, but rather a study that, based on the examples provided in chapter 11 of the Letter to the Hebrews, offers valuable help in understanding the relationship between the life of faith and countless daily activities. Gary W. Kuhne, Pastor and Doctor of the Fellowship Baptist Church in Erie, Pennsylvania. Among his activities, his ministry in the university world stands out.

Or is it stagnant and dying?If your church is afflicted by remnant theology, pastoral timidity, hyper-cooperativism, terminal ethnicity, or if it spends its time staring at its own spiritual navel, it is likely already at death's door.

'He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.' (Matthew 10:41)Is this about financial success? We do not see prophets in the Bible abounding in riches. Is it about position and honor? No, we see that prophets are not honored, especially by those closest to them. What kind of reward is this? Prophets listen, speak, and watch carefully. An encounter with a true prophet will produce a great desire to know and obey the living God. This leads to recognizing Jesus. When John the Baptist preached repentance and announced the kingdom of heaven, multitudes of oppressed people went to him and received this vision. Suffering people knew how to recognize the Son of God in the humble carpenter, while knowledge blinded the Pharisees, scribes, and doctors of the law. Today more than ever, hearts need to hear what the Spirit says to His church.'As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent.' (Revelation 3:19)
