Through the practical journey laid out in this book, allow Louie Giglio to point you to the One who is greater, to the God who encourages His people: "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.

It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life" (Philippians 4:6–7 msg).

As an author, my goal is to write books that will help Christians to live successfully in today's world. Most people just observe and judge, my hearts is to encourage and equip the church to be what Jesus desires it to be. And that is to be unified, powerful and effective in this present age. Being a new author writing more from a calling to write than a formally trained craft, I am learning with each book how to communicate God's truth more effectively. I have purposely by the leading of the holy spirit written original material, everything in my books except for a couple of references in my first book The 3 I's To Your Success is inspired by God or taken directly from the bible. I am on a mission to inspire, encourage and empower the modern-day followers of Christ to live like the disciples of old with purpose and perseverance fulfilling the great commission "Go therefore[a] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen." - Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV By mandate of the Holy Spirit God has commissioned me to write three books per year over the next six years as a part of the vision that God gave me to be a planter of seeds that will grow into world changers with in the body of Christ. Life as a Christians means living a life that honors Jesus' death we are not held to a standard by our religion our religion is held to a standard by our relationship with Christ. Though no one is perfect we as Christians want to operate in the highest character the we can and inspire others to do the same. I want my books to spark revelation and visions in the lives of my readers so that they, through me fulfilling my call, will also fulfill their own calling whatever that maybe. I have been persecuted at times because I am willing to give up worldly pleasures and comfort to serve others, but that is a cost that I'm will to pay to see those whom I am assign to, flourish and become all that God has ordain for them to be.

You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J.

This book was written for the body of Christ that it would seek and move in the power and authority that Jesus obained for us to become more than conquerors.
In his recent book, Spiritual Battle, the author used the expository method of the Word of God. He presented the aspect of prayer in the work of intercessors, as the Christian's most powerful weapon; the basic issues of the Trinity in which all the weapons might be used in accordance with the Throne of Grace. The related issues of the Father as the Provider; of the Son, as Mediator; of the Holy Spirit, as Helper assured security in the battle against the saints of the Lord. Furthermore, the author intended to reveal the Christian's enemy - the devil, the enemy of God-unveiling his strategy since the beginning and his methods of attack. Finally, he proves that the prayer warrior's weapons are effective. Now, he exposes the best strategies to battle, as per the Word of God, as a weapon of attack. The best strategy in a battle is the offensive! But when we are dealing with the enemy, we must outnumber him three times more. The weapons must be used with full power in the combat front, but supported by heavier and more accurate long range weapons. We are part of an army where the General is Christ - his number of celestial angels is three times higher. His invincible power is the Trinity, where the Father is unchangeable and indestructible; the Son, everlasting, lives forever; the Holy Spirit guarantees great power above any power existing on Earth or beyond. The author, in the first part of this book, talks about real Me experiences since his childhood, through his teen years, youth and the early stages of his own family - engagement and marriage - the call to his ministry, showing in a simple example how the Lord of the Harvest works through his servants, as they present themselves as a living, holy and pleasant sacrifice to him. After 30 years as a minister, since the early 60's, the Lord's call for the author to be an Ambassador to more than 140 countries, preaching the Gospel in several languages and dialects and being prepared for the Holy Spirit's work in a very special way, always trying to maintain his self control, studying all the manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit and of the glory of the Throne of God through the mediation of our Lord of lords - Jesus Christ - our supreme Master, Savior and King. Sharing his personal testimony of three decades of victory, to the glory of Jesus, in the word of testimony - logos - and of the word of faith - rhema - the author intends to establish the link between the authority of the word logos, witnessed through the ages, and the circumstances when the Lord delivers his power so as to make us more than conquerors. It is essential, therefore, that each soldier of Christ become a brave warrior, who correctly handles the armor of God. Each Christian is under the foreknowledge of God, from birth to death. The heavenly Father knows his children in their mother's womb, like Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:5). Thus, all who are called are chosen, however, only a few respond in a positive way to his call. This is why Jesus said that a few are the chosen ones; as in the case of the warriors who were not prepared for the battle (Judges 7:2-9).

As one of the country's most respected evangelical leaders, pastor and author Tony Evans challenges "tweens" (ages 8 to 12) to explore what the armor of God is all about. He understands that Christian kids want to be stronger, more confident, and skilled at living an exciting God-centered life, and so he presents the unvarnished truth. Tony Evans gives kids a plan for success by explaining: Scripture reveals who's behind the world's traps and snares and how to resist him. God offers all Christians a powerful suit of armor and mighty weapons. The suit includes a belt of truth and helmet of salvation to wear and shield of faith to carry into the battle. When every piece of God's armor is worn correctly, the enemy is defeated and Christians finish victorious. By learning how to dress in the armor God provides, preteens are able to speak the truth, stand firm in the faith, and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
