Book Description
There really is more to this life than you've been told. We've been demanding our way since day one ... "I want a spouse that makes me happy and coworkers that always ask my opinion." "I want weather that suits me and traffic that helps me and government that serves me." Self-promotion. Self-preservation. Self-centeredness ... "It's all about me." They all told us it was, didn't they? And we took them up on it. We thought self-celebration would make us happy ... But believing that has created chaos -- noisy homes, stress-filled businesses, cutthroat relationships. We've chased so many skinny rabbits, says Max Lucado, that we've missed the fat one: the God-centered life. If you want to shift into high gear with purpose, this is it: life makes sense when we accept our place! Our pleasures, our problems, our gifts and talents ... when they're all for the One who created us, we suddenly gain what we've been missing and find what we've been seeking. Let Max Lucado show you how to make the shift of a lifetime. How to bump your life off self-center. How to be changed and experience the meaning-charged life you were meant to have. Your discovery starts here.

Book Description
What if you had struggled nearly your entire life with poverty, loss, and personal torment? Would you turn your back on God, assuming He had done the same, or would you push onward, strengthened by your faith in His love? It's Not about Me, It's about You is author Nelda Cantu Garcia's personal tale of hardships and triumph. Born into a God-fearing family, but also into poverty, Garcia miraculously survived taunting, bullying, and three near-death experiences with her faith in God, and in herself, intact. Equally miraculous was her path to fulfilling her dream of becoming a teacher despite the odds being stacked against her. Even in the face of losing people she held dear, Garcia retains her sense of hope, her optimism, and her unshakable belief that God is in control. Through her story and the lessons she learned in adversity, Garcia hopes to share God's light. She explores her own commitment to live positively, to thrive, and to nurture those around her and will inspire you to follow a similar path.

Book Description
Two therapists analyze their own relationship to help untangle the common and frustrating barriers many individuals face on the road to a happy, loving, rewarding partnership. Many of the clients who end up in our respective therapist offices thought they were doing relationships right—avoiding the white picket fence, focusing on careers and experiences over babies and legally-binding documents, choosing someone after they “found themselves” first. However, like clockwork, around their early to mid-thirties, these clients show up at our door. Why? For the first time, they realize that they dislike their relationship and are frustrated by their partner but know that another break-up won’t fix things. They recognize a pattern of relationship misery that has them finally looking in the mirror asking, how do you make a relationship last? It took us many relationships, our own inner self journey (which we’re still on), therapy, therapy school, and helping thousands of people with their relationships, to learn to have better ones ourselves. Vanessa woke up at 31, after ending an engagement and moving to Los Angeles. John thought he woke up at 35 after his divorce. But he didn’t truly wake up until he was pushing 40. In It’s Not Me, It’s You, John and Vanessa dissect their own relationship to help readers figure out theirs: what their relationships were like in the past, what traumas they carried into the new relationship, and how they work on growing together to foster a healthy and long-term bond. The surprising truth is falling in love is more about you than your partner. It’s more about challenge and growth than comfort and ease, and roots don’t grow from wishful thinking—they grow in the soil of communication, curiosity, patience, and understanding. It’s Not Me, It’s You is for anyone looking for real advice on relationships that takes both sides into account and discusses relationships with the honesty and clarity we all need.

Book Description
Christianity, a religion spanning centuries with a message as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago. What has changed, the commitment to and meaning of the message. Christianity has become something that people do, a socially accepted norm, a cheap replica of what Christ stood for when he gave his life. This book brings to the fore the true meaning of discipleship and a call to return to fulfilling the commission Christ gave on his ascension. The book puts the reader face to face with the mirror of God's character and the question of whether their Christian life represents who God is and answers the call for which they were born. What is your purpose as a Christian? Have you been fulfilling that purpose? This book is a journey of finding and fulfilling your purpose in God. Are you ready?
