What Christian Leaders Have to Say about "The Respect Dare:" Dr. Kevin Leman, best-selling author of "Have a New Husband by Friday:" "Nina's insightful steps in The Respect Dare help you along the path to a better marriage. Walk along this successful path traveled by many women to find growth and fulfillment. Take the first step, I dare you." Shaunti Feldhahn, best-selling author of "For Women Only: What you Need to Know about The Inner Lives of Men:" "Believe it or not, most men need respect so much that, if they had to, they would give up love to get it - and respect empowers them to be the caring man you most need. One of the most important things you can ever do for your man - and thus for yourself -- is to read this book. From the first page you are an active participant as you go through daily scripture, self-reflection, prayer journaling and lots of 'now I get it!' examples. Think Nike slogan "Just Do It:" each day you find yourself DOING respect - not just thinking, praying, talking or reading about it - but DOING it. You will find your habits seamlessly changing into new ways of relating that will feel as wonderful and life-changing to you as to him." Pastor Mark Gungor, best-selling author of, "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage:" "Women need to affirm, encourage and respect their husbands with their actions and words-and sometimes it is with the lack of words that is most powerful, if you catch my drift! Respect can be shown both by what you say and often times by what you don't say. Many times when I speak of this to women, they launch into 20 questions: What does respect mean? What does it look like? How do I show it? What if he doesn't deserve it? The list goes on and on. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, or no recipe or steps to follow, understand that the whole concept of respect has more to do with you than it has to do with him. I encourage all women to accept this respect challenge and find out if I'm right. What do you have to lose except a whole lot of selfishness, bitterness and unrealistic expectations? On the other hand, you have a great opportunity to gain greater understanding, self-confidence, joy and a better relationship with God and your husband. Go ahead, I dare you. You won't regret it."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting Past Your Saul is written to provide comfort and guidance to those in the position of the "right-hand man" who feels that their loyalty to their leader and their obligation to God's call are in conflict. It recognizes the frustrations of serving in a subordinate position and equips the reader with the mind-set and aptitude that they will need to survive and thrive in the worst situations. This book addresses the myth that all people who sit as "first chair" leaders are effective and God's chosen leaders. By examining the complex relationship between David and Saul, the reader will learn how to respond when the first chair leader begin to see them as a threat, how to survive the attacks of a "first chair" leader, how to see the signs of betrayal, when it is time to walk away, how to embrace God's call to lead while avoiding the dangers of a mentor-mentee relationship turned toxic, loving your leader in their error, and embracing the call of first chair leadership. Most resources that address the relationship between first and second chair leaders tend to lean positively toward the first chair while leaving second chair leaders with the notion of having to endure spiritual abuse and manipulation. This book will also raise awareness for first chair leaders that may have lost their way. So whether you are a bishop, overseer, pastor, elder, or even sit in a second chair position at your job, this book will help you survive in the second chair.
