When it comes to Christ-centered recovery, we, the church, have work to do. Our legalistic, box-checking, one-size-fits-all programs produce astonishingly high failure rates--which means far too many people are left to fight addiction, mental health problems, and suicidal thoughts on their own. This begs some critical questions of the church: - Do we really believe transformational recovery and healing is possible? - Do we really have the right systems and structures to support struggling people? - Do we really carry a kingdom responsibility to restore people gently? >This book is for anyone who can't offer a resounding yes and amen to each of those questions. With hearts that beat for those struggling with addictions and mental health issues, authors George A. Wood and Brit Eaton present: - A critical reframing of the word "recovery" and an invitation to answer God's call for more spirit-led, trauma-informed ministry - Deeper exploration into the origins of addiction, mental health problems, and suicidal thoughts--and the church's responsibility to bring God's healing - Powerful supernatural testimonies and stories of hope, healing, and life restoration as a result of embracing The Uncovery - Practical strategies to help Christ-centered recovery leaders bridge the gap between spiritual and scientific communities to better serve struggling people - A loose and helpful framework for embracing The Uncovery message >The goal of The Uncovery is to help the church--and the world--see recovery through a grace- laced, gospel lens. Some say recovery is the civil rights movement of our generation because believe it or not, recovery is for everyone. And if that statement bothers you? Recovery might be for you, too. Every single one of us has some trauma or issue from our past that may still be affecting our life today. This book offers readers a not-so-subtle nudge to go deeper in the recovery space for a transformative encounter with Father God to heal from those wounds and lead the promised land life He has planned for us.

"Far too many Christians are waiting, hoping, and praying for healing, but either it doesn't last, or it doesn't come at all. Doctors shrug and say there is nothing they can do. Pastors say it is your sin or an attack of the devil that blocks your healing. This only leaves people feeling more helpless, hopeless, afraid, ashamed, and still sick or in pain. Craig Miller experienced his own miraculous physical healing, and he has dedicated his life to helping others receive the permanent emotional and physical restoration that is available through the healing power of God. Craig ministers to the spirit and soul to identify root causes that block your healing. He lends particular focus to cases in which no cause of an illness can be identified and what to do when healing does not occur"--

"A memoir by a former member of the Baylor University men's basketball team, reflecting back on his love of the sport, years of training, and the team of leftovers that survived a murder and scandal to build a program leading to Baylor's 2021 NCAA Division I National Championship"--

Classic Christian author A. J. Gordon expresses curiosity about whether the healing miracles from the Middle Ages up to his day can be verified as a continuation of Christ's Spirit in the church. Through deep study and inquiry of the established history, Gordon concludes that the power to heal followers remains with the church--there was no special era of miracle working. God and His powers remain the same in the modern era as they have right through human history. For Gordon, God's intervention in the suffering and sickness of His followers is frequent; the will of the Lord however is variable--but He will not prolong the pain of someone whose illness is too great. Throughout this text, A. J. Gordon makes his argument from a biblical perspective, citing passages in both the Old and New Testament that support the continuation of spiritual gifts. Quoting testimonies of believers across the ages, he offers a convincing argument that the church ministry is, to this day, one of healing.

"Discussing how every believer can receive the gifts of revelation and discernment from God, this book is both a solid introduction to the prophetic lifestyle and a challenging call for those already immersed in prophetic revelation"--

"Legendary Bible teacher Derek Prince explains that Jesus' death on the cross not only provides forgiveness from sin--it also makes everything else work in our lives; by returning to the centrality of the cross, personally applying it our lives, we enter into God's power and provision for us"--

Joining her husband in the fight to create a home out of a rugged stretch of sagebrush, rattlesnakes, and sand in Eastern Oregon, Jane Kirkpatrick uneasily relinquishes the security of a professional career; the conveniences of electricity, running water, and a phone line; and, perhaps most daunting, the pleasures of sporting a professional manicure. But the pull of the land is irresistible, and the couple dreams of gathering their first harvest from a yet-to-be-planted vineyard. Rather than the simple life they had envisioned, Jane and Jerry find themselves confronting flood and fire, government bureaucracies, and runaway calves, among other disheartening setbacks. Jane frequently questions the sanity of pioneering in this remote area, known as Starvation Point, and she fights against panic with each trip they make down the seven-mile, boulder-strewn, rut-carved "driveway" she calls "the reptile road," which threatens to spill them into the ravine with every lurch of the truck. But as she learns to navigate her new life, this novice rancher discovers that disappointment, isolation, and danger can't compete with the generosity of their rural community, the strength of family bonds, and the faithfulness of the God who planted in their hearts the dream of carving a refuge out of an inhospitable land.

Es hora de cambiar la forma en que piensas que Dios piensa acerca de ti. Cuando Dios piensa en ti, no está buscando una razón para descalificarte, repudiarte o juzgarte. Él no está esperando que fracases. ¡Nunca! Él es quien nos redime cuando fallamos, el que nos califica y adopta. Somos nosotros los que nos fijamos en nuestros fracasos, no nuestro Padre. Lo que David escribió en el Salmo 139: 17-18 (NTV) sigue siendo cierto hoy: "Qué preciosos son tus pensamientos acerca de mí, ] oh Dios. ¡No se pueden enumerar! Ni siquiera puedo contarlos; ¡suman más que los granos de la arena! Y cuando despierto, ¡todavía estás conmigo!" No hay un momento, ya sea que estés despierto o dormido, en el que Dios no tenga pensamientos salvajes de amor feroz hacia ti. Todo cambia cuando sabes esto y es importante que nunca más lo dudes. Eres ferozmente amada, bien pensada y profundamente querida. >----- It's time to change the way you think God thinks about you. When God thinks about you, He isn't looking for a reason to disqualify, disown, or judge you. He's not watching for you to fail. Never! He is our qualifying, adopting, and redeeming failsafe. We are the ones who fixate on our failures, not our Father. What David wrote in Psalm 139 is still true today: "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" (17-18 NLT). There is not a moment whether you are awake or asleep that God is not thinking wild thoughts of fierce love towards you. Everything changes when you know this and it's important for you to never doubt it again. You are fiercely loved, well thought of, and deeply wanted. In this 90-day devotional, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere wants to shift your perspective from the concept of being someone who is merely tolerated to someone who is fiercely loved. Each day explores another facet of our identity, truth, and God's intimate connection with His children.

Pastor David Tomberlin explains the difference between true, saving grace and counterfeit versions in Grace Is Free, But It Isn't Cheap: Challenging Today's Watered Down Version of Christianity.

¿Alguna vez ha experimentado realmente la presencia de Dios? Si no es así, ¿qué cree que se interpone en el camino? Cuando Moisés se encontró con Dios en la zarza ardiente, eso cambió su vida y su percepción de lo que es Dios. En ese momento en que la zarza ardía, empezó a comprender y a apreciar lo sagrado de la adoración. La adoración apropiada tiene que encajar con lo que estamos adorando; por lo que si adoramos a Dios, debemos hacerlo en sus términos. Esto implica tener un espíritu de reverencia y santidad, como Moisés al quitarse el calzado y arrodillarse ante Él. El fuego de la zarza no atemorizó a Moisés, sino que hizo derramar la esencia de lo sagrado en su vida. Le hizo experimentar la presencia de Dios en una manera que nunca había sentido. Permita que este libro le enseñe cómo encontrar a Dios al igual que Moisés. ----- What Would It Be Like to Encounter God Face-to-Face? Have you ever truly experienced God's presence? If not, what do you think is getting in the way? When Moses met God at the burning bush, it changed his life and his perception of who God is. In that burning-bush moment, he began to understand and appreciate the sacredness of worship. Proper worship has to fit the one we are worshiping, so if we are worshiping God, we must do it on His terms. This means having a spirit of reverence and holiness--like Moses taking off his shoes and kneeling before Him. The bush's fire did not frighten Moses, but rather it poured the essence of sacredness into his life. It gave him an experience of God's presence he had never had before. Let this book teach you how, like Moses, to encounter God afresh.

"Uses personal stories and passages from the Bible to share the message of Jesus and salvation with people of different faith traditions"--

Throughout history, all of the greatest men and women of God needed courage to fulfill their destinies. From Abraham to the men and women of the first century church who spread the gospel, all needed courage to hold fast to their faith during numerous trials and tribulations. "We need that same courage today," says author Branden Brim. "We live in a time of uncertainty, a time where fear is being spread, and Christians are being discouraged. But we don't have to give in! We can be bold because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Because of His sacrifice, we can be as bold as lions!" In his book Courage: A Message from Heaven, Branden shares personal, modern-day, and biblical stories of courage, how it's obtained, why it's needed, and how standing on God's promises can grow both courage and faith. He also shares dreams and visions he received from the Holy Spirit that have encouraged him in his own life and ministry. "Before writing this book, the Lord showed me a vision of the importance of courage," Branden says. "After having that vision, I knew that the only way I could accomplish the will of God in my life was to have courage, and I believe that sentiment rings true for everyone living in the world today." It is his hope that Courage: A Message from Heaven will make you bolder and more determined to achieve all that God has planned for you.

"En el mundo ideal, la gente se ama, perdona hasta 70 veces 7 y no juzga para no ser juzgado. Mientras tanto, en el mundo real, los amigos cercanos pueden tener envidia, los miembros de la familia difunden chismes y los menos esperados nos abandonan. El mundo real muestra que el verdadero desafâio es gestionar al otro. Necesitas que la gente sea feliz. Invierte en ellos, aprende a ver lo mejor de cada uno y aprende aquâi câomo no esperar algo a cambio y aâun asâi encontrar satisfacciâon y felicidad en tus relaciones. Comprender al otro es el primer paso para lograr grandes amistades y grandes acuerdos . ----- In the ideal world, people love each other, forgive up to 70 times 7 and don't judge in order not to be judged. Meanwhile, in the real world, close friends may envy, family members spread gossip, and we're abandoned by those we least expect to do so. The real world shows that the real challenge is managing the other. You need people to be happy. Invest in them, learn to see the best in each one, and learn how not to expect something in return and still find satisfaction and happiness in your relationships. Understanding the other person is the first step to great friendships and great deals."--

"HOLDING FAST TO FAITH IN THE GRAY AREAS OF LIFE Should a Christian use Tinder...get a tattoo...or drink shots of tequila? Anyone who wants to live a life of grace needs to navigate the world's gray lifestyle choices that may not be wrong, but could lead to sin. "The church has been plagued by two extremes when it comes to living a Christian lifestyle," says author Bradley Truman Noel. "On one side, we have the serious folks adorned with a really impressive frown, who remind us of all the do's and don'ts....On the other end of the spectrum are folks who play fast and loose with the rules. They typically don't spend too much time thinking about holiness, or wondering if their actions align with biblical teaching." Both sides, Bradley says, miss the power of God's grace in our lives. In Tinder, Tattoos, and Tequila, you will discover: What's sinful and what's permissibleScriptural absolutes that apply to all believersWhy we should be eager to be holy in this lifeHow to navigate social media and video gamesBiblical principles that can guide every decisionWays to receive help from the Holy SpiritThe balance between understanding the law and practicing grace Don't let the world's endless choices keep you from living the life of grace that God has for you!"--

¡Descubra a dónde le está guiando Dios! ¿Cómo puedo saber la voluntad de Dios para mí? Esta es una pregunta que nos persigue a todos; a veces surge cuando estamos buscando el trabajo adecuado, pensando en mudarnos a una nueva ciudad o decidiendo si nos casamos. En cada etapa de la vida tenemos decisiones >Nube por el día, fuego por la noche es una compilación de las enseñanzas de A.W. Tozer acerca de la voluntad de Dios. Una obra extraída de los sermones que predicó el autor en su exitosa congregación Southside Alliance Church, en Chicago, y cuyo título proviene de la hazaña por la que Dios sacó a su pueblo de Egipto y lo condujo a la tierra prometida. A Tozer no le era extraño enfrentar decisiones difíciles. Su sabiduría y su discernimiento bíblico le ayudarán a usted en la toma de sus propias decisiones y a asegurarse de la presencia de Dios en cada paso del camino. --------- How can I know God's will for me, personally? It's a question that haunts us all at times--maybe when we're looking for the right job, thinking about moving to a new city, or deciding whether or not to get married. At every stage we have difficult decisions to make, and we long for God's direction and his warm reassurance that we're heading the right way. A Cloud by Day, a Fire by Night captures A.W. Tozer's teaching on the will of God. Taken from sermons he preached at Southside Alliance Church, his successful church in Chicago, the title comes from the story of God leading His people out of Egypt and into the promised land. Tozer was no stranger to facing difficult decisions. His wisdom and biblical insight will help guide you in decisions of your own, nd reassure you that the presence of God will be by your side every step of the way.

Like life itself, marriage has moments of joy...and sorrow. As difficult as marriage can be, many who have said "I do" try to stick it out when problems arise because the alternative--being alone--is not very appealing. If the couple truly wants to save their marriage, they usually turn to counseling.Unfortunately, most marriage counseling ends with the couple dropping out and then, more often than not, ending their relationship. In some cases, the problem is not the couple but their choice of counselor. One who is poorly trained, disinterested, or obviously biased can destroy a marriage.Why Marriage Counseling Fails explores different scenarios that cause problems for couples as well as the different types of counselors who can help or harm a marriage. Dr. David B. Hawkins has more than forty-five years of experience as a marriage counselor and has helped thousands of couples save their marriages."Sadly, when it comes to reaching out for help for marriage counseling, few have a sense of trust and confidence in their counselor," he says. "Stories abound about how they came out of a counseling session worse than when they went in."Dr. Hawkins defines the "five I's" of a qualified marriage counselor as one who: Offers wise instructionTakes an active interest in the coupleOffers insight into why problems recurIs willing to work intensivelyWorks in-depth to help the couple find long-term solutionsWhy Marriage Counseling Fails offers insights into marital issues, the brokenness of the counseling system, how to find good help, and how to insist upon effective help when turning to a counselor.

The fall of Lucifer set up the epic "battle of all ages." And you are positioned right in the middle of this historic struggle. International Bible teacher Derek Prince reveals Satan's grand schemes for putting people in bondage and seducing Christians from reaching their full spiritual potential.

Many Christians are being tormented by unseen demonic powers called "familiar spirits" that operate inconspicuously within the fabric of people's thoughts, emotions, and mindsets -- working so secretly that they usually remain undetected. These demonic spirits can be attached to specific individuals, families, or bloodlines. Familiar spirits hinder believers' lives in numerous ways, diminishing their spiritual vision and seeking to prevent them from fulfilling their destinies. They may block people's ability to overcome negative patterns, attain lasting success, and even marry and conceive children.
