Mike Breaux doesn’t do life halfway—maybe that’s why he thinks a "cannonball” is the only suitable entry into a swimming pool. “Deep down, I think all of us sense we were put on this planet to do something significant—to touch someone’s life; to do some good.” Again and again, he’s seen the cannonball approach make that happen. “Water goes flying everywhere! The ripples go out, hit the side, and come back in.” In this book, Breaux shares the concept of creating “ripples”—where a life touches a life, which touches a life, which touches a life.

Peter Scazzero learned the hard way: you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health, his relationship with Jesus and the classic practices of contemplative spirituality. And it created nothing short of a spiritual revolution. A revolution that reached so far beneath the surface that he and his church were utterly transformed. This Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Church Kit gives you the tools to bring this revolution to your church. Included in this kit you will receive: * One copy of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality book by Peter Scazzero * One Multimedia Pack containing message transcripts, teaching notes, promotional materials, campaign training DVDs and CDs and a kickoff DVD, all designed to move your congregation through a nine-week Emotionally Healthy Spirituality experience * One Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Small Group DVD containing eight sessions for use in Small Groups or Sunday school settings * One Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Workbook for individual or group use * One Daily Office devotional book As this resource leads a church through various passages in the Bible, the major theme is for believers to live differently than the current evangelical culture by truly focusing on Jesus instead of busyness and/or ministry, and also to deal with emotional issues that interfere with our relationship with him. All of these resources contribute to each of the weekly themes: 1. The problem of emotionally unhealthy spirituality 2. Know yourself that you may know God 3. Going back in order to go forward 4. Journey through the wall 5. Enlarge your soul through grief and loss 6. Discover the shythms of the dialy office and Sabbath 7. Grow into an emotionally mature adult 8.

In this groundbreaking devotional book, Peter Scazzero introduces the ancient spiritual discipline of the Daily Office. The basic premise is simple: We need to stop intentionally to be with God more than once a day so that "the practice of the presence of God" becomes a real possibility. Each day offers two Daily Offices-Morning/Midday and Midday/Evening.
