No one can be like Jesus yet we can all be like Jesus. In all of history there has never been--and never will be--anyone like Him. In this extraordinary book, devout Christian and internationally acclaimed speaker, author and sports executive Pat Williams reveals the pure essence of Jesus. Although Christianity teaches that Jesus is God, most people lose sight of His humanity. Through the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Williams helps us understand who Jesus really was--His mind, His wisdom, His love, His humility, His courage and His goodness. The story of Jesus' life is told powerfully and dramatically and the meaning of his teachings is compellingly brought home through contemporary stories of people who exemplify what it means to be like Jesus. The Jesus of this book is truly the Jesus who lived and identified with us and with whom we also can identify. Williams provides persuasive and provocative insight on how to truly be like Jesus through His teachings and this living example of genuine love, forgiveness, prayer, obedience, service, humility, integrity, leadership, and more. This uncomplicated and fascinating work will enable readers to learn from Jesus' life, understand his words and build his traits and character qualities into their lives. The quintessential book on how to live a better life and create a positive and lasting effect on the lives of others, How to be Like Jesus may be the discovery of a lifetime.

Each of the 10 Commandments is perfectly formulated common sense that is totally relevant to current times, and popular author Bettie Youngs lifts the veil one by one to reveal the facts and purpose behind each principle. Most teens see the 10 Commandments as a bunch of old rules that no longer apply to them, but once the mystery is removed, it becomes clear that they are as meaningful today as ever before. Adept at making sense of issues at the heart of young adults, Youngs shows how each commandment is an integral part of the foundation for moral and spiritual conduct, as well as for peace and prosperity. This is a highly relevant book that will help teens live in peace, harmony and safety with each other and with God.

'Why can't he remember our anniversary, when he can recite every Super Bowl winner since 1967?' 'He just doesn't understand that after working all day and caring for the kids, I'm just too tired to have sex.' 'Trying to get him to tell me how he feels is like pulling teeth!' As a psychologist, Dr. Juli Slattery knows firsthand that many women share the same frustrations about their husbands, whether they're newly wedded or celebrating a silver anniversary. As a Christian wife and mother, she, too, struggled with similar issues until she discovered the one simple truth about these seemingly insensitive and apathetic men: Each one of them is a hero. While some may seem more like 'zeros' than heroes, Dr. Slattery shows how every wife can find her hero, whether he's just beginning to fade from view or has disappeared altogether. As she explains, God has given women tremendous power in their relationships. Unfortunately, most women unwittingly either ignore their power or abuse it. This indispensable guide shows women how to use their strength in ways that encourage their husbands' potential instead of dominating and destroying it. While other advice books work well on paper but not in practice, Dr. Slattery helps women approach everyday situations from paying the bills and raising children to getting him to keep the toilet seat down and the intimacy level up. Dr. Slattery explores the maligned and misunderstood 's' word: submission. She explains what it is, what it isn't, how women can support their husbands while being true to their dreams, and practical steps women can take if they are living in a dictatorship. Probing questions and practical study guide exercises make it ideal for individual use or group study

Retired NFL player, founder of Champions for Life and one of the most respected ministers in the country, shares his story. "I believe Champions for Life is doing very effective work bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to many lost men and women throughout America." - Billy Graham Bill Glass, founder of Champions for Life, one of the most respected ministries in the country, shares the powerful message he has been preaching for decades: the most important thing a father can do is to bless his child. Through his personal stories and teachings, Glass shows all parents how a blessing can give children the inspiration, reassurance and confidence to live life to their fullest potential. Bestowing a blessing requires simply a gentle touch, a loving hug and/or a powerful verbal message of unconditional love. Glass has learned through the work of his ministry that we live in a time when the youth of America suffer from a lack of positive mentors - the result is broken families, divorce at epidemic rates, rampant drug and alcohol abuse, overfilled jails and prisons, and thousands of at-risk youth. In Champions for Life, readers will learn the solution to many of these problems begins in the home and is the cornerstone to our children’s development and strength of character for our future leaders. The most basic family building block is a parent's ability to give a blessing and Glass shows readers how doing this will change the lives of their children, as well as their own.
