Product Description 
When we find something valuable that helps us accomplish the things that matter most, we don't let go of it. Life is not a game. However, on multiple occasions, the Bible uses competitive sports metaphors to demonstrate the discipline and training necessary to grow and become everything God created you to be. The things we care about most -- our identity, our purpose, our relationships -- are far more important than a game. We have to learn to win in these areas. We understand development when it comes to sports, our careers, our hobbies, and even our personal lives. There are tangible goals we can shoot for. And yet, when it comes to our spiritual lives, it often feels more elusive. This book is not a fail-proof formula to avoid pain, challenges, or adversity. It's a journey to a deeper relationship with God. This is the reason you were created. This is winning in life. This is what you're going to care about when you come to the end of your life and wonder, "Did my life matter?" What if you could be developed in your professional career through a greater understanding of God's Word? What if you could learn to build a healthy culture both in your workplace and in your home? What if you could win in the areas of life that you care about the most?

If you feel like the culture is shifting under your feet and you re powerless to get it back on track, you re not alone. Many of us see the powerful undercurrents of history that are taking place in front of our eyes. In response, some people sink into hopelessness while others struggle desperately to remain strong in their faith. Yes, the culture is drifting, but God's presence, truth, grace, and power haven t changed at all. He is just as real, just as strong, and just as loving as ever. Even in frightening times, we can learn to stay focused on God's direction for our lives. He is the true north, and he will guide us. Pastor Choco De Jesús offers real hope and practical solutions. He clearly identifies the pressures of the culture, acknowledges our human tendency to drift, and provides biblical encouragement to stay the course in our walks with God. Combining powerful stories with surprising insights and sound biblical principles, Pastor Choco helps us discover God's path and follow it through good times and bad, always drawing closer to Him.

Stay the Course: Finding Hope in a Drifting Culture

De Jesús, Choco

In Jesus' greatest sermon, He begins with the Beatitudes: nine statements that turn our world upside down. He's establishing a counterculture, a different way to seeing reality, with a shocking set of blessings. Jesus is asking us to join Him in a kingdom that challenges everything we normally believe and hold dear... and offers us more than we've ever imagined. Sound intriguing? Hold on tight. Look at this modern translation: "God's kind of happiness comes to those who know they are poor. Divine comfort is showered on those whose hearts are broken with grief. If you are truly meek, the whole world belongs to you. And for those of you who are suffering for doing the right thing -- Awesome! It's a party time! You belong in God's hall of fame!" In this book, Pastor Bill White gives us a door of understanding. If we walk through it, we'll find that these paradoxical truths turn conventional wisdom upside down... and they fill our hearts with God's love, forgiveness, wisdom, and strength.

Upside Down Kingdom: Secrets of Spiritual Transformation Hidden in the Beatitudes

White, Bill

Post-Traumatic Religious Stress Disorder... One fateful day, Ben Dailey realized he had been struggling with this condition . . . crushed, actually. He had preached the gospel week after week, but something kept him from experiencing the freedom, joy, and love he described to people sitting in his services. Years of performance-based religion-and the nagging guilt and shame it produced-had made the Christian life a grind. Then, grace broke in. In this book, Pastor Ben peels off layers of false assumptions and misbeliefs to explain how God's magnificent grace can transform our hearts, our choices, and our relationships all day every day. God is inviting us out of the dense jungle of guilt and into the freedom of His love. Can you relate? We talk often about God's grace, but do we understand the scope and depth of it? And if we understand it, do we really believe it? Don't answer too quickly. Don't miss the message of this book. It's perhaps the most challenging and thrilling truth the world has ever heard . . . including you.

Mature-ish: Your Mission from God, Should You Choose to Accept It . . .

Even before the smoke starts to rise, every leader sees the signals that something isn't right. Your wide variety of problems may vary in severity, scope, and timing, but they have one thing in common: People are looking to you to fix them all! But before you go running for the fire extinguisher, the duct tape, or to schedule an emergency meeting of your board of elders, see what Pastor Rob Ketterling has to say. It may surprise you to discover that the problem isn't yours to fix. With wisdom acquired through personal experience and no shortage of trial and error (which he shares with brutal honesty and a large dose of humor), Ketterling will verify that some problems are indeed yours to handle. Other times, however, it's best to delegate the matter to "them" (your staff, lay leaders, volunteers, or whomever), or you risk denying others valuable opportunities to learn and grow. And sometimes, nothing less than a "big boom" from God will resolve a dilemma. The key is to learn which route to take in every situation.

"This changes everything!" That's the reaction Pastor Scott Wilson had when God led him to a deeper, richer, more biblical experience of the power of prayer. For years he had taught a passage out of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, but until that moment, he hadn't understood that when he prayed in the Spirit, God would give him understanding of what he was praying. Another realization came when he led his staff team in praying this way, and God gave them a diverse but unified prophetic voice. In this book, Pastor Scott explains how God led him and his church to experience far more of His mind, His heart, and His direction than ever before. And it's not a secret. Church staff teams, small groups, couples, families, and congregations can tap more deeply into the presence of the Spirit. He tells the story about how God led him to the concepts of "P3 prayer," the biblical foundation of it, and the powerful process that enables all of us to listen as God speaks and "be filled with all the fullness of God." Do you want God to revolutionize your prayer life?
