Book excerpt: ECPA BESTSELLER • FINALIST FOR THE CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD® • Build your Bible IQ and Christian worldview in just fifteen minutes a day! Over the course of a year, Core 52 will help you master the 52 most important passages in the Bible. “You will gain the tools you need for living the life God has called you to.”—Kyle Idleman, pastor and author of Not a Fan “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”—1 Timothy 4:8 Most of us want to know the Bible better, but few reach our goal, often because we’re too busy or we don’t know where to start. Core 52 removes both barriers, offering a common-sense solution that fits into our busy lives. Respected Bible professor and teaching pastor Mark E. Moore developed this proven process from thirty-five years of helping people grow deeper in God’s Word. Each week features a brief essay, memory verse, Bible story, trajectory verses, and practical ways to put what you’ve learned into practice. An optional “Overachiever Challenge” offers the chance to memorize the top 100 Bible verses by year’s end. This simple approach allows you to become familiar with the big ideas of the Bible in less time and with less effort than other reading plans. In one year, you can master the core of the Bible—focusing on topics from God’s will to worry, happiness to holiness, and leadership to love. These fifty-two core passages are lenses through which you can read the rest of the Bible with clarity and confidence.

Download or read book Is It Just Me written by Grace Valentine and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if you’re the only one who’s hurt, struggling, lonely, and confused? It’s not just you. Grace Valentine wants you to know one thing for sure: You’re not alone in your struggle. You’re not the only one feeling freaked out by the future. You’re not the only one dealing with crap. You’re not alone! Many women joke about having trust issues—laughing at their struggle because it feels common but secretly feeling there is no hope. Grace Valentine was one of them. In her twenties, she realized her trust issues were not humorous because, in reality, hers were trust issues with Jesus, her community, her family, and herself. And they were destroying her faith. Grace told herself she was simply being realistic, but the truth was, she was entangled with doubt and lies. In Grace’s second book, Is It Just Me?, she’ll walk you through how to handle rejection, stop joking about your issues, and find peace and healing for your scars by answering five deeply felt questions: Am I the only one who is tired, overwhelmed, doubting, and fearful? Am I the only one who feels hurt and lonely? Am I the only one who still is struggling to find my purpose? Am I the only one struggling to trust that God is there? Am I the only one confused about how to be an adult? Grace’s prayer is that as you journey with her through early adulthood, you’ll remember you have a Savior who loves you, flaws and all. By learning to trust in God’s design and His plans for your future, you’ll find you have everything you need to thrive in your twenties—and beyond.

Download or read book Praying in God s Will written by Morgan Kizer and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Scriptural based book on prayer. It cites over 200 references in both the New and Old Testaments. The Bible has much to say about prayer. It is a very important topic. This book answers many questions that believers have about prayer. Why their prayers are not answered. Which prayers are always answered. It explains how to pray. Where to pray. How often one should pray. When to decline praying and numerous Scriptural details that can help an individual’s prayer life. Prayer is a significant part of a believer’s relationship with the Father. It also discusses the things that have produced ineffective prayers. The key problem with most people’s prayers is unforgiven sins. The solution is both simple and complex: sincerely praying forgiveness prayers. The author identifies three basic prayers that when prayed correctly and sincerely are always answered in the affirmative. God expects us to be honest with Him. The key is Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane: Matthew 26:39-44 When Jesus was facing a terrible death on the cross He asked if possible that the Father would spare Him. Nevertheless, He gave believers the example that they should always ask that the Father override our wants in favor of His will being done! Prayer is not reciting a series of magic words that cause things to happen! God is sovereign! He can do anything that He chooses to do. The Holy Bible mentions some of the answers that He has already pre-determined. He is consistent and does everything in agreement with His written Word. God is perfect. If He were to change He would be other than perfect!
