Facing Your Giants by Max Lucado
Book Description
Giants. We must face them. Yet, we need not face them alone. This profound look at the life of David digs deeply into the defeats he suffered, and the victories he won, as he faced the giants in his life. When David focused on God, giants tumbled. But when David focused on giants he stumbled. Goliaths still roam in our world. Debt. Disaster. Dialysis. Divorce. Deceit. Disease. Depression. These super-sized challenges swagger and strut into our lives, pilfering our sleep, embezzling our peace and robbing us of our joy. And while these giants try to dominate our lives, we know what to do! We've learned what David learned, and we do what David did. We become God focused. We pick up five stones. We make five decisions. And we take a swing. February, 2008 - Book of the Month

Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success
By John C. Maxwell
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell reveals the surprisingly straightforward secret to daily success and fulfillment. Most of us look at our days in the wrong way. We overexaggerate yesterday. We overestimate tomorrow. We underestimate today. The truth is that the most important day you will experience is today. Making today your masterpiece is the key to success. Dr. Maxwell offers twelve decisions and disciplines-he calls it his daily dozen-that can be learned and mastered by any person to achieve success. He teaches how to possess possibilities, remain focused, enjoy good health, exhibit stability, hold an advantage, be tenacious, experience fulfillment, exercise options, sense inner peace, feel significant, receive direction, and learn to grow. These lessons are simple, but the gap between knowing and doing is greater than the gap between ignorance and knowledge. In TODAY MATTERS, Dr. Maxwell teaches how to close that problematic gap.

Reposition Yourself: Living Life Without Limits
By Bishop T.D. Jakes
Book Description
Bishop Jakes takes the biblical definition of faith--the substance of things not yet realized--and adds that without some effort, faith becomes nothing more than a belief in magic. Although he admonishes the trend toward prosperity preaching that equates economic well-being with blessedness, Bishop Jakes reinforces the connection between faith, good works, and responsibility. And citing biblical verses and observations by successful people--Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and athlete Deion Sanders, among others--Bishop Jakes offers sound advice on how to put faith into action.
He begins by insisting on a hard self-examination and takes aim at what he considers the major barrier to success: self-imposed limitations that result from a lack of spiritual faith. Bishop Jakes applies scripture across a wide range of personal challenges, including finding a mate and achieving financial success. For those who have already achieved a measure of success, Bishop Jakes cautions against complacency and arrogance. At whatever level of achievement, Bishop Jakes urges readers to learn to open themselves to giving and receiving blessings. Recalling his own rocky road to success from a childhood of poverty to the head of one of the nation's largest religious enterprises, Bishop Jakes makes clear how he was compelled to reposition himself to grow spiritually and materially. Bishop Jakes continues to deliver a message of hope and inspiration.

Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men: A Book for Men and the Women who Love Them
By Dr. Myles Munroe
Book Description
The male is in crisis. Traditional roles once gave men stability and continuity from generation to generation. Today, the world is sending out conflicting signals about what it means to be a man. Many men are questioning who they are and what roles they fulfill in life--as men, fathers, and husbands. This uncertainty is disrupting their personal and professional lives, leaving them frustrated and causing them to live far below their potential. It is creating cracks in the foundation of society. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe examines cultural attitudes toward men and addresses critical issues such as: · How can men gain their footing in the ever-shifting environment of cultural expectations? · What does it mean to be male? · What definition of masculinity should men adopt? · What roles should men fulfill--in the workplace and in the home? · What do gender roles have to do with the male's purpose? · What are the differences between males and females? · How are men and women meant to relate to one another? · How can a man build a better life for himself, his family, and the world? When males understand the purpose God has given them and the true design of their relationship with females, they will be free to fulfill their destiny and potential. Whether you are a man or a woman, married or single, this book will help you to understand the man as he was meant to be. |
