Cure for the Common Life

"Sweet spot." Golfers understand the term. So do tennis players. Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot. Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. But you don't have to swing a bat or a club to know this. What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you. A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot.

But if you're like 87 percent of workers, you haven't found it. You don't find meaning in your work--or you're one of the 80 percent who don't believe their talents are used. What can you do? You're suffering from the common life, and you desperately need a cure.

Best-selling author Max Lucado has found it. In Cure for the Common Life he offers practical tools for exploring and identifying your own uniqueness, motivation to put your strengths to work, and the perfect prescription for finding and living in your sweet spot for the rest of your life.

Praying that you are in the groove, finding your sweet spot!

be blessed, beloved

How People Grow: What the Bible Reveals about Personal Growth

All growth is spiritual growth. Authors Drs. Cloud and Townsend unlock age-old keys to growth from Scripture to help people resolve issues of relationships, maturity, emotional problems, and overall spiritual growth. They shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates and show that growth is not about self-actualization, but about God’s sanctification. In this theological foundation to their bestselling book Boundaries, they discuss:

• What the essential processes are that make people grow
• How those processes fit into a biblical understanding of spiritual growth and theology
• How spiritual growth and real-life issues are one and the same
• What the responsibilities are of pastors, counselors, and others who assist people in growing—and what your own responsibilities are in your personal growth

It is crucial to understand that God is in charge of human potential. All things were created for him and by him.

Holiness is wholeness.

The glory of God is man fully alive is that life consists in beholding God. As we grow into the likeness of Christ, we become fully alive.

Praying that you become fully alive, beloved

Under Cover: The Promise of Protection Under His Authority

Discipline is the answer to lawlessness. The discipline that God gives to the church is not to hurt us, but to help us grow. Often a strong word is needed......often divine order brings a strong word to us.

John Bevere has given the church an excellent resource to help understand the need for spiritual covering, and protection through the local church.

To walk in true spiritual authority, a believer must be submitted to God's sovereign authority. In this book, John Bevere shows readers how submission to this divine order grants the Kingdom's provision and protection. This well loved writer effectively uses his personal mistakes to illustrate riveting truths about repentance and forgiveness. As he focuses on the true authority of God, he is careful to explain by example the important difference between "submission" and "obedience." The same struggle with divine authority is also represented through the lives of John the Baptist, the Apostle Paul, and other biblical figures.
An especially helpful book for Christians who want to develop a serious pursuit of God.
