Words are powerful! They can encourage and strengthen others, heal wounded hearts, honor God, and bring Him great delight. Words can also be destructive. An unruly tongue can cause great pain and havoc, damaging lives, and grieving the heart of God. The good news is . . . our tongues can be transformed by the grace of God and the power of His Spirit. In this thirty-day study, you'll discover the connection between your heart and words. And you'll gain practical insight on "tongue control" from the Word of God as you seek to glorify Him and bless others.
Challenges are part of everyone's life. No matter what one's age, color, creed, or status in life is; storms will appear. The good news is that, as believers in God, we are not alone. He promises to never leave or forsake us. Through the Storm is a thirty-day devotional that helps lift your spirit and remind you that storms don't last always; that the sun will shine again in your life.

In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).
