Do you want to hear God speak to you?  Too much of modern prayer is asking God for stuff we want. There is nothing wrong with this but the only way God can respond to that form of prayer is to give us what we want or refuse to answer. Too often we only think to ask for selfish requests so God cannot give us a positive answer and all we get is deafening silence.   Wouldn't you want to "hear" God interact with you about the deep stuff in your soul?  In order to have that happen, you have to learn to pray in a way that is not even called "prayer" these days. It involves getting much closer to the Bible. Join me in learning to pray in a way that will connect you deeper with God and transform your life. The amount of promises and blessing connected to this form of prayer are staggering. Come learn a new way of praying and leave your frustration about prayer behind. This short book explains a very different way of praying and just may be the most significant book I have written to date. It may well be the most impactful book you will read all year.

<li>What skills are essential if I am to become a significant leader for God? </li> <li>What do I have to learn beyond godliness to impact dozens and even hundreds of people for Christ? </li> <li>Wouldn't it be great if I could learn in a condensed form what is involved in leading my ministry with a higher level of effectiveness? </li> </ul>
Men and women hunger to be strong Christian leaders. Churches and ministries are screaming for leaders, but nothing happens. Leadership is more than just want to. It involves the artful use of certain skills to get people, groups, and organizations moving forward. This book focuses leaders on what is indispensable and essential in leading churches and ministries. Learn the basic skills needed and how to apply your use of them so that they will show up in your ministry environment. I have watched so many ministry leaders spend their time, energy, and passion on the wrong things and never fully realize their potential as leaders. Yes, there are other leadership skills than those mentioned in this book, but these are the core skills that highly-impacting leaders master.

Leading a Thriving Ministry: 10 Indispensable Leadership Skills

This best-selling book by Gil &amp; Dana Stieglitz contends that becoming a wife is more than just getting married. God's plan for wives may seem radical in today's day and age, but the truth of His principles are timeless. In God's Radical Plan for Wives, Gil and Dana Stieglitz explain the seven greatest needs of men by applying biblical principles and real-life stories. This book will challenge, convict, and inspire women for positive change in their marriage. Learn how a wife can bring glory to God, develop her husband's success, strengthen the health of the marriage, and meet her own deepest relational needs. 
God tells us that the role of wife is to be a difference maker in the lives of her spouse, children, and community. A godly wife holds a position of immense power and influence for generations to come. Her influence can change people in positive directions, which begins with herself, then radiates out to her husband, her children, and the community. Today's society minimizes the role of the wife because of the suggestion that "wife" and "mother" are the only two roles women can play. This isn't true! Our hope is that the true power of the wife role will re-emerge as the positive force God intended.
This book has many tools and exercises to work through that can give wives a new perspective about their spouse and may even help save their marriage. It is perfect for individual or group study, especially when paired with God's Radical Plan for Wives Companion Bible Study by Jennifer Edwards. The lessons and exercises in these two books will teach you how to motivate your husband to be the best man possible, setting the stage to gently guide and instruct him to meet your own needs. In a time when women are desperate to save their marriage, these two books have the practical answers you need.

God's Radical Plan for Wives Companion Bible Study

Edwards, Jennifer

Illumination Award Winner ~ 2017, Self Help/Recovery Category
Positive psychology is telling us what the Bible has said for 2,000 years. The keys to becoming a deeply happy person come down to 8 key qualities. Study after study shows that the happiest people... <ul>
<li>Are grateful, teachable, and humble</li> <li>Have processed their mistakes, wounds, pain, and losses</li> <li>Have developed impulse control and use their emotions to fuel and enjoy life</li> <li>Pursue their dreams and positive purpose with diligence</li> <li>Are forgiving, non-judgmental and gracious</li> <li>Think positive, beneficial, constructive thoughts rejecting unethical, and selfish thoughts</li> <li>Savor each day, harmonize with the people around them and do not attack others</li> <li>Set boundaries for themselves and others and sacrifice to protect those boundaries</li> </ul>
The problem with the above list is that we don't believe the studies and we don't really want any of these qualities. We still think that the key to happiness is money, power, popularity, and/or pleasure. But true, long-lasting happiness is from the inside out. I believe that God wants our best even though we may not and so He enrolls us in "classes" to develop these missing ingredients. We can either cooperate with Him or fight what He is trying to teach. This book will help you know which "class" God has enrolled you in and can help you pass the quizzes, tests, and finals He is giving. If you do not pass the exams, then you stay enrolled the same course until you get it right. You don't have to do that anymore! I know people who have been enrolled in anger management class for thirty years and still haven't passed the final. God knows that your ultimate joy and happiness will be in the development of the 8 qualities listed above so He constantly gives you opportunities to work on these qualities. I am amazed at the difference in the lives of people who begin cooperating with God on these qualities rather than fighting Him. Remember. the happiest people have the above qualities. Learn how you can get there.

It is time for Christians to understand how to win in spiritual warfare. Christ has equipped us to win and help set others free. If you are interested in learning how to use the power of Christ to be free, then this book is for you. Our postmodern world is finally ready to move beyond materialistic rationalism and admit the existence of the supernatural world -- both good and evil. Christians in the early church knew how to act in the midst of the spiritualism of their day. It is time that Christians in our day know how to apply the tools, methods, and power of Christ to sin, wickedness, and evil supernaturalism. The Christian church has utilized six different methods through its history to help set people free. Demons were thought to be a dead issue but as sin and immorality have increased, the presence and impact of wicked spirits has become more evident. Today, Christians view demons as invaders who come to pillage the lives of largely innocent people. It is better to understand Christian deliverance as fumigation or pest control. Everywhere there is moral decay there will be spiritual maggots, cockroaches, and rodents to consume that evil and try and create more. Our choices either promote spiritual life or spiritual death. Christ came to promote spiritual life and freedom. Learn about the spiritual battle.

Breaking Satanic Bondage: Intensive Training in Spiritual Warfare

There are two paths to take...wisdom and foolishness. Each path yields completely different results. One leads to life, prosperity, blessing, and health. The other to death, pain, loss, and disease. Through the mouth of Solomon, God explains, motivates, and directs us to take the path of wisdom. It is the better path. It's the one that is good for us. It is the one that leads to blessing, hope, and vitality. Breakfast with Solomon is a five-volume series that delves into the wisdom teachings of King Solomon. It takes the wisdom student from foolishness to wisdom over 3 1/2 years: <ul>
<li>Volume 1 January - June of Year 1</li> <li>Volume 2 July - December of Year 1</li> <li>Volume 3 January - June Year 2</li> <li>Volume 4 July - December Year 2</li> <li>Volume 5 January - August Year 3</li> </ul>
This is a training course, a daily devotion, and a journey through the times of Solomon about how to be wise today for a better life.

Breakfast with Solomon Volume 1

Something is not right about our Universe.... On the surface, it seems that our world is a straightforward place, where doing right is rewarded and doing wrong is punished. Every person should have a chance to live a beautiful life—for freedom, peace, and safety. But there is something else going on that seeks to destroy this simple process of life. But there is a fly in the ointment...a toxic presence that is thwarting our plans. Evil has entered our world, and it is growing and personal. It is unpredictable, spontaneous, seemingly random, and vicious past any motive. <ul>
<li>Why is life so hard?</li> <li>Why does evil proper?</li> <li>Why doesn't life work out the way we expect?</li> <li>Why doesn't the good guy always win?</li> </ul>
This book answers these questions as it delves into where evil came from, who is behind it, and how to fight it. Knowing your enemy is key to winning the battle.
