Book Description
This book is for the brokenhearted, the poor (lack of knowledge), the blind (unbelievers and struggling believers), and oppressed to show them how to love. Most people are searching for love, to be loved and to share love, but to the contrary we are searching for love in the wrong places. Most people don’t know how to love, because they don’t know God. God is Love. This book will journey through my trials and tribulations to find love and show how love was always within. Love is not a feeling or thing. Love is an action. God loves us regardless of where we are in life and he is constantly trying to bring us out of darkness. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me; Because He has anointed Me; To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives. And recovery of sight to the blind; To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18-19) Love covers all sins, because Love Owns Victory Every time.

Book Description
For many of us, the attempt to live for God can leave us feeling burdened rather than free. Yet that's not the kind of life God intends for us to experience. What if he never meant for us to try so hard? What if overcoming sin doesn't rely on our own self-control? What if loving others isn't about saying and doing all the right things? What if suffering isn't designed to teach us lessons? What if we could feel closer to God without doing anything? In God's Best-Kept Secret, the founder of Grace Life International explodes our preconceived notions of living the Christian life, freeing us to stop just going through the motions and to experience true fulfillment. Illuminating commonly misunderstood Bible verses, Mark Maulding shows us that following God is not as complicated as we often make it out to be. And, in fact, the answer to our struggles has been hiding in plain sight all along.

Book Description
After Louis Brittz and his family became the victims of an armed robbery, abduction, death threats and rape, they experienced how, in Louis’s words, ‘By God’s grace we could walk out of that experience without any harm to our soul and spirit.’ They have experienced immediate wholeness and healing and people thought that they were either lying or possessed some kind of superpower. But Louis has realised that God had been teaching them for years to live according to certain principles. This, together with God’s presence, enabled them to deal with what had happened in such a remarkable way. Out of this experience Born to Win was born. We are born to win and everyone – from the most ordinary person to the super talented – can be a winner. It has been written into our DNA by God Himself. This book is not an action plan. It is an invitation to bring spesific areas of your life before God and ask Him to change you. Neither is it a book that tries to deal with every little issue that could possibly improve your quality of life. It will not tell you what music to listen to, where to spend your holiday or how drinking green tea will aid digestion. Louis focusses on matters that he believes are essential for living in victory. It is a journey through God’s resources to change his children into winners. Louis discusses topics such as: • Winners have lost everything • Winners are able to forget • Winners know who they are • Winners ask the hard questions • Winners can master their thoughts • Winners are baggage free Born to Win offers you a blueprint of the things that differ in the life of a winner from that of someone else, and will enable you to be more than a conqueror in all circumstances.

Whether you are a long-time lover of the Word of God, hungering for a deeper walk with Christ, or a new Christian and reading the Bible seems overwhelming, Revealed in Ephesians: The Mystery of Who I am in Christ is an exhilarating in-depth, inductive study to reveal the hope of your calling in Christ Jesus. This 12 week study equips women to grow in confidence in prayer, and to read the scriptures through the revelation of the Holy Spirit in 5 days a week personal study. Learn to seek the Lord for personal intimacy through his Spirit, to find spiritual and emotional health in relationships, to overcome obstacles like bitterness, fear and depression through God’s truth, to understand your position in Christ, and to be empowered in spiritual warfare with a study of the armor of God. Each day of study begins by teaching you to personalize Paul’s prayers for the Ephesians. There is a daily focus on committing these prayers — and other key scriptures — to memory. Briana teaches women to use Bible study tools and apps to bring everyday study to life. This is not just a fill in the blank study, but includes commentary and a “bringing it home” challenge for life-changing personal and family application. Revealed in Ephesians can be used as a group study, with free online teachings, or a personal, daily Bible study. You will have free access to podcasts and videos of Briana’s teaching on the overarching principles and challenging parts of the daily studies at briananei.com

Book Description
If you were to pick one word for the year, what would it be? Invite . . . Abide . . . Balance . . . Simplify . . . ? Every January, many of us proclaim our word for the year, choosing something inspiring that will help us set our intention for the coming months. But what would happen if rather than choosing one word for an entire year (because let's face it, some of us forget by March), we focused on one good word each dayone thought-provoking, spiritually relevant, and encouraging word that reveals the many lovely and delightful truths of who Jesus is in our lives? One Good Word a Day, by the creators of the online community, The Ruth Experience, offers simple, but deeply spiritual meditations that will help readers linger on one word each day so they can identify and reflect on how Jesus as the Word influences their daily lives. Jesus is more than one word. He offers us abundance, hope, peace, kindness, courage, mercy, and so much more. One Good Word a Day reminds readers that in Christ, we find all we need to live encouraged and uplifted every day.

Book Description
Thoughts are very real things. They can be compared to the elements that create the weather we experience. From clear and sunny to overcast and dreary, your thought-machine mind creates your reality. Whether or not you are consciously aware of it, you alone control the angles and rotations of the kaleidoscopic mirrors within the workings of your mind. If you don't like your reality, you can always adjust your outlook simply by adjusting your way of thinking. One of life's mercies is that we can retrain our mind. This guide is an appeal for rational thinking. When all is said and done, there are only three fundamental areas over which you have any real control in your life: how you think/feel (as in two sides of the same coin), how you act, and how you react. When you are unhappy in life or love, the best place to start looking for both the cause and the cure is within the inner narrative of your thoughts. It is here you will find the fountainhead of resiliency from which your strength and well-being flow. Resiliency in people is not an accidental occurrence; rather, it is the cumulative effect of an individual's decision making. In a nutshell, humans need not always interpret things in the negative, instead, the choice to view things either as "a positive" or as "a negative" is entirely your own to make. The intelligent approach insists you strive to see both the positive and the negative in people, situations, and events. Doing so won't negate the negative, it simply helps to balance it. The knowledge contained in A User's Guide to Your Mind is threefold: how to live mindfully of your thoughts, how to exercise emotional intelligence in relationships, and how to exercise social intelligence in everyday life. Exercising social and emotional intelligence--along with good old common sense--is essential to soundly managing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If you are tired of just talking about making changes and are now actually prepared to do something about it, the guidance within will provide detailed blueprints to get you started in redesigning your life and relationships. Best of all, you can implement what you learn as you see fit, according to your own goals, value system, and moral principles. This book shows you how.

Book Description
Ever wondered why college football coaches wear visors at night and always chew gum with their mouths open? Though the Southeastern Conference football season is still months away, the fans’ obsession is year-round. So head coach Von Driver will take his motivational magic and his Isosceles Triangle of Success on a Pigskin Cavalcade to the small towns in the state. Raymond Love, a young coach unfamiliar with the banquet circuit of big-shot boosters and chat-room gurus, will go along as his wide-eyed errand boy. Also on the trip is the athletic director’s daughter, whom Love has tried to win by joining her book club—a dubious strategy at best. The football aspects of the Cavalcade will prove child’s play compared to the literary hazards he faces. Will Love master the art of coach-speak? Will he win the affection of the girl? Find out in this fist-bumping, high-fiving, all-out comedic blitz about the sublimely ridiculous world of college football.

Book Description
The Bible notes Mary's words on only four occasions. Father Caster plumbs the spiritual meaning of these few words while also revealing how they provide the biblical roots for four essential titles the church has bestowed on Mary: Mother of God, Our Lady of Victory, Mother of the Church, and Mother of the Eucharist.
