Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After I wrote my last book, The Importance of Christian Friendships: In Good Times and in Bad, I began to think about how many of the attributes of Christian friendships are grounded in faith. This is the same faith that leads us to believe in God’s promises. I don’t know if you have ever tried to count how many promises there are in the Bible; they are almost impossible to numerate! Yet that did not dissuade me. I began to turn to the Bible and meditate on some of the more significant promises. Then I began to ask myself how my life would be different if I truly believed God’s promises? What if we all believed God’s promises and acted accordingly? I am convinced that if we have faith and believe in God’s holy nature, we can then accept that He is who He says He is. It is then just a short step to knowing that He will do what He says He will do, and we can trust in His promises. God’s promises are very precious. Not only do they remind us of His personal interest in our lives, but they provide us with hope and encouragement. I would also contend that accepting His promises turns religion from something that seems restrictive to something that is truly liberating. As you will read in the book, we can find freedom in God’s promises. We can find freedom from condemnation, freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom from hopelessness, freedom from grief, and freedom from worry, just to name a few. I hope the reader will find renewed encouragement from this book and new faith in a faithful God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does your life feel purposeful? Are you satisfied with your Christian walk? Are you experiencing true freedom in Christ? Do you long to walk in your God-given purpose? There is nothing more sacred than finding and fulfilling the call of God in your life. God has a purpose for you. It’s one thing to find the call of salvation; it’s completely different fully living it out! I call it “divine discontentment,” where you miss the purpose of your life after salvation, thus missing the most important part of your journey. A life that “believes” in God without a real transformational experience is often absent of the promises of God. A Barna Group study suggests nearly 80 percent of Christians get “stuck” in their walk and only 10 percent actually experience the fullness of their salvation in their lifetimes! Your life can be different! Live a meaningful and satisfying life now. This book shares the seven steps to revealing the ordained purposes God has for you. They’re not secrets; they are just overlooked and greatly misunderstood essentials for Christian living. This book will reveal seven steps to live in the realm the 10 percent have discovered. Start your journey today and be on your way to Finding Freedom!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let go of feeling like you are not a “good enough” Christian and find freedom in Christ by studying Paul’s letter to the Galatians in Breakthrough by Barb Roose. Have you ever felt that being a good Christian means you’ve got to follow a bunch of rules and measure up? If so, you aren’t alone! In this six-week Bible study of Galatians, Barb Roose shows us that even the believers in the early church struggled to let go of rule-keeping and performance in order to embrace God’s free gift of grace. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul pours out his heart and faith to set them straight, addressing so many of the same questions and problems we still face today, such as... - Who has led you to believe you have to follow rules and “measure up”? - Why do you think you have to be perfect for God? - Does God only show up or love you when you “get it right”? If you’ve ever struggled with these questions or felt trapped by rules or religion, this study will provide a path to discover your freedom in Christ. Through this study women will learn to: - Stop trying to measure up and embrace God’s grace - Distinguish between lies and truth - Embrace God’s promise of freedom Components for this six-week Bible study, each available separately, include a Participant Workbook, a Leader Guide, and video sessions with six 25-minute segments (with closed captioning).

Download or read book The Importance of Christian Friendships written by Beth Gable Hicks and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is full of transitions. As we grow up, we experience changes in schools—grade school, high school, and then maybe off to college. Then life really gets confusing. The global economy often means job changes and relocating. Most of the time, we get married and have children along the way. Many of these changes are great, but others can be quite lonely and tough—divorce, empty nest, health issues, the loss of a parent or spouse are just a few examples. Along the way, how do we hold on to the friends we make—not just the acquaintances, but the deep friendships that help us get through life, both the good times and the bad? We may not be able to keep life from changing, but if we have faith in Christ, we can rely on his promise to supply us with Christian friendships. Are these friendships somehow different? If having a true Christian friend means being one, then how do we do that? This book explores how Christian friendships are different, or at least should be different, and how we can reach out to others in that friendship. We need never be alone, especially when Christ is at the center of our relationships.

Download or read book The God Guarantee written by Jack Alexander and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not enough" is the theme of our day. Fear, scarcity, and inequality dominate the media cycle and are constant companions in our culture. While 74 percent of Americans believe in God, we can feel our world changing in ways that simply seem out of control. We want to cling to a sovereign and loving God who tells us repeatedly in Scripture to "fear not," yet it is estimated that nearly 90 percent of his followers have a scarcity mentality rooted in fear. Five times in Scripture, Jesus showed us a pattern to deal with fear and how to access his abundant provision, both spiritually and practically. In The God Guarantee, Jack Alexander uncovers the four steps in this pattern, showing readers how to live it out in order to experience true abundance. Far from a prosperity gospel, this book is not about how to get rich quick, how to manage your money, or how to give it all away. Instead, it will change the reader's conversations about finances completely and, as a result, will transform the way they see and access God's provision in every single area of their lives.

Sharing her own story of emerging from the battle with anxiety as well as the stories of others, Dr. Michelle Bengtson reminds you of your identity as a follower of Christ and of the peace he promises you in spite of everything. She provides tools to cope with the crushing emotional burden of anxiety now, and, more importantly, shows you how to reclaim God's peace as a way of life so that you can break anxiety's grip.
