The book of Joshua contains some of the most compelling and relevant truths for our lives today. It is the story of “trembling heroes”—people filled with fear who overcame those fears and accomplished the impossible through reliance on God. In Leading the Way through Joshua, Michael Youssef translates the challenges Joshua and the nation of Israel faced into challenges that are familiar to everyone. God calls people to follow Him, to conquer the Jerichos in their lives, to stand against the idolatry in our land. God calls Christians to tell the world about His covenant love, expressed through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Readers of this devotional commentary will discover how to turn the insights of Joshua into action in their own lives. It will motivate them to step up, to be strong and courageous, to obey God, and to go wherever God sends them.

It’s tempting for Christians to think they can experience God’s life and power through church attendance, religious symbols and rituals, and good deeds. But as the book of Galatians makes clear, religion means nothing unless believers are connected to the source of God’s life and power. In Leading the Way Through Galatians, Michael Youssef applies Paul’s message to the churches in Galatia to the challenge of living as authentic Christians in the twenty-first century. The message of the Gospel is a message of freedom from the law, freedom from bondage to sin, freedom from fear, freedom from judgment, and freedom from the need to perform and please others. Through stories and contemporary insights, the timeless truths of Galatians will take on a new and powerful meaning as today’s readers learn to apply this liberating message to everyday life and everyday situations.

Daniel lived as an exile in a hostile country, yet when he committed himself in faith to serve his limitless God, he achieved the impossible. How did Daniel maintain his bold witness for God in spite of bullying and intimidation? How did he prepare himself for the tests and temptations of life? Like Daniel, believers today live in a culture that is hostile to biblical values. It takes great courage and faith to live as followers of Christ in a post-Christian world characterized by moral depravity, injustice, idolatry, and more. In Leading the Way Through Daniel, Michael Youssef passionately shows readers that the resources Daniel relied on are equally available to them. Sound teaching, vibrant illustrations, and a brisk conversational style will enable readers to take the truths of the book of Daniel and apply them to the pressures, trials, and temptations they face in today’s culture.

Devil. Great deceiver. Evil one. Father of lies. Satan. Many names. One enemy. And whether you realize it or not, you are on a spiritual battlefield with this enemy every day. How do you prepare to defend yourself? In Conquer, Michael Youssef says you first need to know everything you can about your enemy. What are Satan's strengths? What are his weaknesses? How does he like to attack? When is he most likely to attack? Are there areas of your life where you are vulnerable and he seems to control the battlefield? Only when you know your enemy inside and out can you plan and carry out a specific counterattack to defeat him. The final victory will be Christ's, of course. That's a promise from God. But as a Christian, you can actively take part in resisting the devil...and watching him flee.

Joshua Called to Lead: Pursuing Exemplary Leadership demonstrates how leaders faithful in their missions to follow God rest their leadership upon obedience to God and trust in His promises. By exploring how secular leadership goes awry in basing itself upon limited human knowledge, Boyd O. Gray, a retired minister with thirty years of experience, shows how such leadership ends in failure rather than in Gods peace and prosperity. Taken together, these guides to the pitfalls and possibilities a leader faces reveal how to imitate Joshuas example by pursuing exemplary and faithful paths of leadership. Arranged as a passage-by-passage reflection on the biblical text, Joshua Called to Lead draws from several translations, choosing in each instance the one illuminating the leadership-oriented message the passage contains. The commentary also connects the Old Testament account and the Christian life: Joshua may have doubted Gods intent at first, but He still went before Him in humility and repentance. In repentance, God gave him the answer he was looking for. The child of Gods can always find the will and purpose of God through repentance and prayer. Joshua Called to Lead: Pursuing Exemplary Leadership speaks to all who desire to learn about the biblical figure of Joshua, who seek deeper understandings of his faithful leadership, or who crave a model for shaping ones own efforts to lead. If you belong to any of those groups, then Joshua Called to Lead will guide your own journey to appreciate and to pursue exemplary and faithful leadership.
