DOWNLOAD EBOOKNo one can deny that situations in the world today are become more catastrophic, and the end-times seem to be drawing closer with each new day. However, all hope is not lost, whether for Christians or non-Christians, as confidence for the future ahead can be regained again in complete surrender to the Creator of each person: the Almighty God. So, how does one go about giving everything in his/her life over to God in surrender? It's easier said than done; but to Crystal Archibald, author of the new book Total Surrender, it is possible to lovingly give God one's life to be used for His purposes. Our everything needs to be surrendered to God. All of our hopes and aspirations should be totally embedded in God's will for our lives and although its much easier said than done, it is a much better perspective... Crystal pinpoints several avenues of sin where people can fall into temptation and agree to the devil's promptings to give into their fleshy desires and wishes. She compares these examples of present-day temptations people struggle with to what people from the Bible endured, people who handled similar enticements but sought God for redemption. Think of King David and his overwhelming desire to commit adultery with the married Bathsheba, which led him down a dangerous path that was later redeemed by God. The same with Paul, as his sin-led pursuit of killing Christians guided him to be saved by God and continue on a new path bringing people to Christ. These miracles happen only when the person came to God in total surrender, wanting His will for life instead of personal will. Surrender doesn't have to be seen as giving up, but giving towards a greater reason for life in God's ultimate plan for the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNot a Fan has already called more than one million readers to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple--moving from fan to follower in their relationship with Jesus. After years of serving God, pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman had a startling revelation: for too long, he had been living as a fan of Jesus; someone who tried to make Christianity seem as appealing, comfortable, and convenient as he possibly could to others. Idleman decided something had to change--he needed to embark on the journey of becoming a completely committed follower of God, not just a fan. Fans want to be close enough to Jesus to get all the benefits, but not so close that it requires sacrifice, while followers are all in and completely committed to Christ. Not a Fan gives you the tools you need to determine exactly where you stand when it comes to your relationship with Jesus. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Not a Fan calls you to consider the demands and rewards of being a true disciple. With frankness and a touch of humor, Idleman invites you to: Examine your relationship with God Determine if you're following Jesus or just following the rules Pray the way Jesus prayed Start truly living for the one who gave his all for you This expanded and updated version of Not a Fan also includes a new introduction and an entirely new chapter about how to practically live out the book's core message. Join Idleman as he challenges you to take an honest look at your relationship with Jesus and discover what it really means to be a follower.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA launching pad for your spiritual journey, this inspiring book provides clear, specific, and practical guidelines for becoming a Christian who lives like Christ. Christians today live in a world that is activity heavy and relationship light. The result is spiritual emptiness. We struggle to know what God wants from us and for us . . . and we’re unsure what a real relationship with God really looks like. But that was never God’s idea. HIS idea of faith is not about rules or religion— it’s about relationship. That’s where God tells us to start. In Romans 12, God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you’re ready to move from “in” to “all in,” then you’re ready to become a Romans 12 Christian. The next steps of your journey toward true spirituality start here.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2006, Samia Zumout felt called by God to leave a successful profession as an attorney and embark on a lifelong journey as a missionary. Since then, she has evangelized God's healing love through her inner-healing ministry, praying at public events and individually for the healing of emotional childhood wounds. In 2011, Samia's deep faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ was put to the ultimate test when she was diagnosed with horrific diseases that have aggressively attacked her spinal cord: primary progressive multiple sclerosis (M.S.), cervical stenosis, and myelopathy. Over a short span of time, she became severely disabled—unable to walk, write, or take care of her most basic needs—and suffered constant debilitating pain and overall weakness. Despite her severe disability, Samia neither lost her joy for life nor her inner-peace; her relentless faith persevered and grew stronger. She has selflessly continued her mission helping and ministering to others through her radio program and social media. Samia's story inspires others to look at the sufferings and challenges of their own life through spiritual eyes, shedding light on what's important, and giving purpose and value to what otherwise may seem meaningless in our physical world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.
