Mark Stibbe points the reader to a story Jesus told over 2,000 years ago which demonstrates the qualities of a perfect dad. More than that the story paints the clearest picture of what Jesus thought God is really like. It provides a wonderfully accessible introduction to the Father youve been waiting for and contains many new insights into a story loved by millions and known as the parable of parables. "This is a must-read for anyone who wants a direct, honest explanation of how remarkable God who created the universe and more, loves and is interested in an exclusive, intimate, life-transforming relationship with you." - Diane Louise Jordan
'A must read' - Esther Perel 'My relationship bible' - Gabby Bernstein 'Releases our capacity to be fully alive in relationships' - Bessel van der Kolk Most loving relationships fail, not because of communication or empathy breakdown, but because we unknowingly burden our partner with the task of caring for disowned and unloved parts of ourselves, our 'internal family'. Building on the revolutionary Internal Family Systems model of therapy, Dr Richard Schwartz reveals how to reconnect and foster a healthy dialogue with your wise and compassionate 'Self' and your partner. You Are the One You've Been Waiting For will equip you with the essential tools needed to build trust and connection with the one you love.
You were created for love. It is God's express desire that you experience His love in your everyday life. Too often, many Christians have a wrong perception of what God is really like and this can keep them from experiencing the very love they are looking for. In this 12 week study guide, AJ exposes the most common blockages that hinder our discovery of who God truly is and offers practical steps to overcome them. This guide is perfectly suited for an individual to use during their daily devotion time but is also a valuable resource for group Bible studies.
An optimistic look at the future of American leadership by a brilliant young reporter A new generation is stepping up. There are now twenty-six millennials in Congress--a fivefold increase gained in the 2018 midterms alone. They are governing Midwestern cities and college towns, running for city councils, and serving in state legislatures. They are acting urgently on climate change (because they are going to live it); they care deeply about student debt (because they have it); they are utilizing big tech but still want to regulate it (because they understand how it works). In The Ones We've Been Waiting For, TIME correspondent Charlotte Alter defines the class of young leaders who are remaking the nation--how grappling with 9/11 as teens, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, occupying Wall Street and protesting with Black Lives Matter, and shouldering their way into a financially rigged political system has shaped the people who will govern the future. Through the experiences of millennial leaders--from progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg to Republican up-and-comer Elise Stefanik--Charlotte Alter gives the big-picture look at how this generation governs differently than their elders, and how they may drag us out of our current political despair. Millennials have already revolutionized technology, commerce, and media and have powered the major social movements of our time. Now government is ripe for disruption. The Ones We've Been Waiting For is a hopeful glimpse into a bright new generation of political leaders, and what America might look like when they are in charge.
We live in an increasingly fatherless society. Fatherless children are far more likely to be criminals or victims. In January 2009 Mark quit as the senior leader of a successful and progressive Anglican congregation, to found a ministry called The Father's House, dedicated to taking the Father's love to the fatherless. 'The task of the family of God is to take the Father's love to the fatherless. To do this, those who are already members of God's family need to have their father wounds healed. This book will help those with hearts broken by their earthly fathers to find in their Heavenly Father the love of all loves.' In Part 1, Mark describes the different ways in which fathers can hurt their children. In Part 2, he goes deeper, defining the wound as 'the orphan heart' and describing the main symptoms of this condition in peoples' lives. In Part 3, he shows how Christians can find true healing through experiencing the Spirit of adoption.

Adventures in Heaven What happens to those who were not “left behind”? What is Heaven like for those who call it home? Christopher looked up in alarm as a shattered dagger, its cloaking device destroyed, plunged toward the demon ranks not far away. He focused all of his Holy Spirit born power upon the battered ship. It nosed up and was carried as if in a child’s hand to another part of the valley where it gently touched down. He was relieved to see the pilot and the navigator escape from the craft and safely reach an advancing column of the Monrovian military. –Children of Eternity Christopher, Jerry, Jonathan, and Lilly are caught up in the War in Heaven and find themselves coming of age as they battle to rescue more than 300 citizens of Heaven captured by Satan. In the process, they discover the faith and power within themselves. Then they must face off against the master of lies himself to rescue a lost soul from her terrible torments in Hell. From the beauty of Heaven’s Crystal Sea to the darkness of Hell’s Sea of Fire, these brave young people stand between life and death to battle not only the dark angels but their haunting pasts as well. This is the fourth book in the bestselling Tears of Heaven series. Heaven and Hell first told the story of the journey of Chris and Serena Davis; then The War in Heaven chronicled Abaddon the Destroyer; and Rise of the Beast featured Hell on Earth as a pseudo faith in world unity and peace brought darkness worldwide.
