In Genesis 2, a husband and wife live in perfect harmony with God and each other. In Genesis 3, the arch-enemy of the home, Satan, slithers into Adam and Eve’s perfect Garden of Eden and disrupts unity and fellowship first between them and God and then with each other.

Summary : Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Genre : Religion
Summary : Many of us feel intimidated about our prayer life—we look at other Christians, and prayer seems to come naturally to them. But somehow we feel that we just don't "get it." Author Mary Lou Redding reminds us that the disciples were with Jesus continually, and still they had to ask him for help in learning how to pray. That should reassure us, she says. Because the Lord's Prayer is so familiar, we run the risk of praying it by rote without really thinking about the meaning of the words. Redding explores this ancient prayer phrase by phrase and helps us see how it can be a model for all of our praying. This insightful, practical study of the Lord's Prayer features six brief chapters that can be read in 10 to 15 minutes brief daily scripture passages reflection questions for each chapter suggestions for weekly group meetings Rather than approaching scripture from a scholarly standpoint, Redding invites us to consider passages with our hearts. She encourages us to make connections between the scriptures and our daily lives. As an added benefit, Redding leads us through several classic Christian spiritual practices, such as examen, journaling, and reflective reading of scripture. This book is a great resource for a congregational study on the Lord's Prayer. It will help anyone enrich their faith and deepen their relationship with God. 6 weeks • Includes Leader's Guide

Genre : Religion
Summary : New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Summary : Help Lord, Make Us One! The Journey Through is a four-part journey focused on helping the reader process through life with God. Through obedience to and receiving the plan of God the reader will reconcile to God while being delivered from their personal Egypt. The reader will be challenged to make up his/her mind to serve God and evaluate their many choices in life. The second portion of the book deals with reconciling to oneself as the reader goes through the wilderness and personal closets of their life (removing the masks and getting rid of the extra baggage). Deliverance is the theme of the second portion and allows the soil of the reader's heart to loosen or break up so the Word of God can be planted deeper. The reader will be challenged to make up his/her mind to unveil God's hidden treasure planted deep inside of them. The third portion of the journey reveals a need to reconcile to humanity. Through divine revelations the reader will be restored to God and then reach out to humanity. As the reader begins to apply the Word of God (rightly) true restoration to the body of Christ is fortified. Lastly, the reader will be reminded that life is a continuous journey. Individually and collectively we must make a choice to endure the process. God had to take me through many places (caves, valleys, ditches, Hell, a state of being lost and the furnace of affliction) to develop my testimony. God made my comfort zone uncomfortable to push me on purpose. Yes, the process continues! Allow me to share that by definition revelation means to uncover. Whether it uncovers the truth or exposes the lie, divine revelation from the Lord is intended to help us move into our destiny. As we journey through the process called life often we focus on going deeper into the Word of God. But, for this journey our responsibility is to allow the Word of God to go deeper in us. This journey begins, is centered around and will ultimately end up challenging you to confirm your relationship with Christ. It is this relationship that will stand as the foundation of your divine connection for eternity. How will you journey through? Have you believed what God has said to you? Have you ever thought you were the only one with an assignment through the valley? Have you ever been processed by God and considered giving up? Well I came to help push you into your destiny. As you face the person in the mirror daily, I believe you will catch the revelation that God loved you through your process on purpose! Now that you have endured the storm, the rain, the hurt and the pain, you cannot afford to quit. Someone needs your true testimony. Now the time has come to Journey Through.
