Book Description
Not a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus. After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan. Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to: Examine your relationship with God Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules Pray the way Jesus prayed Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message. Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.

Book Description
Why is it such a struggle for us to surrender everything to God? What does surrendering to God even look like and how are we supposed to do it? Why is it so hard for us to live the life that Jesus died to give us? Is life really supposed to be one constant struggle after another? One of the hardest things to do in life is to let go, giving God everything and never looking back. Laying it all down, never picking it up is the only way we can walk through this dark unfair world shinning and burning brightly for Jesus. Wanting control over our lives is the struggle that many Christians face and the turmoil of that fight is constantly lurking deep in our hearts. For many know what to do, but few actually do it: surrender. When a person holds onto frustration, bitterness, and the injustices of life their pain slowly evolves into chains that hold him down, disabling him to walk through life with peace, love, joy, and compassion. The only way to truly live is to die to our selfish nature every day and cast all of our burdens at the feet of Jesus.

Book Description
Jesus's desire for every Christian is to see that He is actively working within their daily lives and that His power evident in everything they do. Many Christians view Jesus more from a religious responsibility rather than from a relational point of view. With this relational mind-set, we can learn the practical understanding of how to thrive in every moment that God has given us. Life itself has a lot of ups and downs and to live holy in the midst of everything falling apart can sometimes seem impossible. Pete weaves his story with God's story by bringing a fresh relevant approach to the topic of surrender. Conquer through Surrender will help the follower of Christ learn to see everything from God's eternal perspective. As a Christian, you will receive practical ways to live holy when daunting circumstance arises. You will also explore why you have acted and reacted in certain ways in the past and what you can do to gain victory when trials arise in the future. How we think about God, will ultimately determine how we live for Him. Conquer through Surrender builds a strong framework for practical day-by-day Christian living.

So ready yourself as you accept the twenty-one-day challenge to live a life of submission to God and experience the transforming power of Christ in your life. “Humility is the first step to submission.

But when we put the needs of others above our own, the goal of humility can easily be accomplished.” Melissa Sikes is a former award-winning newspaper journalist, teacher, and coach. She lives in North Carolina with her husband James and her two stepchildren.

Book Description
SURRENDER is a mesmerizing psychological thriller from extraordinary novelist Sonya Hartnett. I am dying: it’s a beautiful word. Like the long slow sigh of a cello: dying. But the sound of it is the only beautiful thing about it. As life slips away, Gabriel looks back over his brief twenty years, which have been clouded by frustration and humiliation. A small, unforgiving town and distant, punitive parents ensure that he is never allowed to forget the horrific mistake he made as a child. He has only two friends - his dog, Surrender, and the unruly wild boy, Finnigan, a shadowy doppelganger with whom the meek Gabriel once made a boyhood pact. But when a series of arson attacks grips the town, Gabriel realizes how unpredictable and dangerous Finnigan is. As events begin to spiral violently out of control, it becomes devastatingly clear that only the most extreme measures will rid Gabriel of Finnigan for good.
