The tongue may be small. Yet it wields an astonishing power. James compares it to a wild horse, a wandering ship, or a raging forest fire.

“I wish I could place love and truth deep in my mind to filter every word I speak,” writes Carole Mayhall. Our mouths are supposed to be foundations of life (Prov. 10:11), but all too often they sound like babbling brooks.

Carole’s personal examples and gentle instruction in this book will help avoid the tongue’s five most troublesome slips: bragging, complaining, gossip, unchecked anger, and careless remarks. She has struggled enough herself to know what works – and what doesn’t.

“I am convinced,” she writes, “that if we dwell deep with God, the overflow is going to consistently seep into our conversation.” Soon you, too will be speaking more words that heal. And fewer that hurts.

It’s not uncommon for an accomplished musician to be able to sit down in front of a new piece of music and play it through without a hitch. To make it seem easy, as if it required no effort. Yet, the “freedom” to play with such skill comes only after years of disciplined practice.

In the same way, the freedom to grow in godliness – to naturally express Christ’s character through your own personality – is in large part dependent on a deliberate cultivation of the spiritual disciplines.

Far from being legalistic, restrictive, or binding, as they are often perceived, the spiritual disciplines are actually the means to unparalleled spiritual liberty.

So if you’d like to embark on a lifelong quest for godliness, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will help you on your way. Drawn from the rich heritage left by the early church fathers, the puritan writers, and Jesus Christ Himself, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will guide you through a carefully selected array of disciplines, including:

1. Scripture Reading

4. Scripture Application
5. Worship
6. Fasting
7. Silence and Solitude
8. Scripture Meditation
9. Evangelism
10. Journaling

By illustrting why disciplines are important, showing how each one will help you grow in godliness, and offering practical suggestions for cultivating them on a long-term basis, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life will provide you with a refreshing opportunity to embrace life’s greatest pursuit – the pursuit of holiness – through a lifelong delight in the disciplines.

JUMP FIRST. FEAR LATER.

Remember the thrill of thinking you could fly? The adventure of going places in your imagination? The joy and abandon of running and jumping and playing hard-without worrying about what “might” happen?

In Dangerous Wonder, Michael Yaconelli invites you to recapture the joy of being a child and apply it to your relationship with God. You’ll be encouraged to ask difficult questions about faith and take Jesus at His word when He says, “Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

If you’re looking for the joy and freedom of faith, Dangerous Wonder will open your eyes and your life to the possibility of an exciting adventure in relationship with God.

This new edition now includes a discussion guide to help you experience an even deeper relationship with God, filled with wonder and awe.

To be God’s child, we have to be real. There’s no faking our way into heaven. Thankfully, with God there’s no need to be fake—His grace sets us free to be ourselves.

To be God’s child, we’ve got to be real. There’s no faking our way into heaven. No hitchhiking or smuggling ourselves in either. We can’t fool God.
The good thing is: the Father already knows us exactly as we are. He knows how we think and act. While it might be somewhat embarrassing at times, God’s complete knowledge actually gives us freedom to come to terms with everything in our lives: the good, bad, and unspeakable.
Taken from Brennan Manning’s best-seller, Abba’s Child, this book helps us see how God’s grace sets us free—free to be who we really are. No more games, no acts, no masks. Just ourselves, as we really are in Him.

If you think becoming like Christ seems an unachievable goal, think again. Here’s a practical plan. 

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS?
“A disciple…will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). The ultimate goal of discipleship is to be like the Teacher—to be like Jesus Himself. Every Christian wants to understand what that means, but even if we understand it, is it possible?

Michael Wilkins asserts that it’s not only possible, it’s a life that all Christians are called to—not just something for a select few. So why do we so seldom experience it?

As Wilkins points out, even the first followers of Jesus had a hard time grasping what it meant to be His disciples. Like them, our difficulty often lies in not clearly understanding who Jesus is, not recognizing the resources available to us as God’s children, or not believing who we are to be as Christ’s followers.

But like the early disciples, our lives can radically change. If we want to follow Jesus, we can become like Him. “Jesus takes us exactly as He finds us,” writes Wilkins, “and transforms us into His likeness.” So come, learn what it means to walk with Jesus and reflect His image to the real world.

Best-selling author Jerry Bridges presents the essentials of the Christian faith.

What does it mean to follow Christ?When we are gripped by the astonishing fact of Christ’s love for us, we desire to draw close to Him. But what can we do to deepen our relationship with Jesus? What does He expect of us? And how can we be more like Him?

In Growing Your Faith, author Jerry Bridges, one of the most respected Bible teachers of our time, presents the essential elements of Christian life in a highly readable, surprisingly practical form. Jerry shows us how to:

• Feed our spiritual life through taking in the Scriptures
• Rely on the Holy Spirit in obedience and prayer
• Trust God during the trials of life
• Contribute our unique gifts to serve others

When we more fully open our hearts to the truth of His gospel and acknowledge the role of the Holy Spirit in our pursuit of holiness, we can make genuine progress in our spiritual lives. And that’s a big part of what it means to follow Christ.

Sometimes the difficult people, places, and things–the donkeys!–in our lives are God’s attempt to get our attention.

Is God trying to tell me something?God uses the oddest things to grab our full attention. Just ask the Old Testament prophet Balaam—God used a donkey to speak to him! The donkeys in our own lives can be difficult people, overwhelming odds, or interrupted plans. The problem is, we can easily miss these personal messages. How can we make sure we are really hearing God’s voice?

With a healthy dose of humorous anecdotes and biblical truth, author Virelle Kidder tells us how she learned to listen to the donkeys in her life. Designed for personal or group study, each chapter includes thought-provoking discussion questions, related Scripture passages, and directed journaling activities.

Donkeys Still Talk is about waking up to hear God speak in the most unexpected ways. Learn to recognize His voice in the mysterious, narrow, and even strange places of your journey. As you do, you’ll find the Father-child intimacy for which you were created.

WHAT MAKES A PERSON GODLY?
Scripture tells us that God has given us “everything we need for life and godliness.” But what makes a Christian godly? In this book, Jerry Bridges examines what it means to grow in Christian character and helps us establish the foundation upon which that character is built. Bridges opens our eyes to see how character formation affects the way we relate to God, to ourselves, and to others.

In order to live godly lives, we need an inward foundation of God-centeredness. This book will help you establish that foundation and then build an outward structure of godlikeness.
