Bishop Jakes wants to show you how God uses difficult, crushing experiences to prepare you for unexpected blessings. If you are faithful through suffering, you will be surprised by God's joy, comforted by His peace, and fulfilled with His purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have a surface self we present to the world, but our smiling faces often hide our pain that comes from unsuccessful attempts to find relief through harmful choices. How can we keep past wounds from damaging us? Learn to allow God to heal triggers, insecurities, and more so you can experience spiritual health and wholeness. Every driver knows the importance of avoiding potholes when navigating a route. Besides the uncomfortable bump, they can create permanent damage to vehicles and endanger entire roadway systems. The same is true of our lives. We all have potholes that have been formed by pain, trauma, or choices that we’ve made. Usually we find a quick fix, filling the hole with activities and even addictions disguised as culturally acceptable life choices. But before long, the hole is back—and often wider and deeper—waiting to catch us off-guard, which in the end creates even more permanent damage. In The Thing Beneath the Thing, pastor Steve Carter asks the simple question, “How is life working for you?” He knows that potholes exist and that the longer we live disconnected from answering this question, the more we will fill those holes with harmful choices. The solution? Allow God to fill them with His grace and love so that we can discover the beauty of peace and wholeness He has for us. The process lies in discovering our: Triggers: the setup that sets us off Hideouts: where we go to escape the pain of our story Insecurities: the false stories we create about ourselves Narratives: the false stories we create about others Grace: the place where we discover how to become whole, holy, and spiritually healthy Journey with a seasoned fellow traveler who has learned how to ask key questions that help us unlock the places where we’ve buried things. Then we can dig deep, invite healing, and learn new ways to operate so we can begin experiencing the life of freedom Jesus promised.

Book excerpt: Religious Leaders and the Regime in the Second Republic of Zimbabwe looks at the nexus of religion and politics in Zimbabwe. Religious leaders and institutes are discussed as either regime enablers, resistors, or transformers. This book focuses on how religion has played a role in thwarting democracy and has acted as a machine to silence dissenting voices, repression, and poor governance. The book addresses religious figures such as Andrew Wutawunashe, Talent Chiwenga, Bishop Mutendi, and Mapostori. In discussing these figures, the book highlights how ZANU PF has taken advantage of religious power to thwart democracy while rewarding regime enablers. The book also discusses the road to 2023 Zimbabwean elections and highlights the role of the church in creating an enabling and catastrophic environment. This book challenges oppressive systems perpetrated by religious leaders and politicians.

Book excerpt: The fall of the Berlin Wall, and the chain of events leading up to it, arguably constitute one of the most thoroughly documented episodes in recent history. Nonetheless, most accounts have focused predominantly on high-level politics and diplomacy along with the most dramatic and photogenic public displays. End Game, a rich, sweeping account of the autumn of 1989 as it was experienced “on the ground” in the German Democratic Republic, powerfully depicting the desolation and dysfunction that shaped everyday life for so many East Germans in the face of economic disruption and political impotence. Citizens’ frustration mounted until it bubbled over in the form of massive demonstrations and other forms of protest. Following the story up to the first free elections in March 1990, the volume combines abundant detail with sharp analysis and helps us to see this familiar historical moment through new eyes.

But how can parents know that their kids are going to a good, Biblical youth ministry? And what makes a group ""Biblical""? In "Playing Games with God," Sam Magdalein lays out a simple framework that parents can use when searching for and examining a youth group for their teens. But what about modern youth ministries? Parents may have a feeling that something is wrong in these churches, but can't quite put their finger on the problem. Sam includes a thorough examination of the foundations, philosophies, drivers, and everyday practices of modern youth groups. Using numerous quotes from youth ministry seminary textbooks, lessons plans from youth ministry conferences, ministry resource books, and articles, you'll read in their own words what modern churches are actually doing with our kids.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed church leader, blogger, founder and chief strategic officer of The Unstuck Group, Tony Morgan unpacks the lifecycle of a typical church, identifies characteristics of each phase, and provides practical next steps a church can take to move towards sustained health. Think about your church for a moment. Is it growing? Is it diminishing? Is it somewhere in between? Acclaimed church leader, blogger, and founder and chief strategic officer of The Unstuck Group, Tony Morgan has identified the seven stages of a church's lifecycle that range from the hopeful and optimistic days of launch, to the stagnating last stages of life support. Regardless of the stage in which you find your church, it carries with it the world's greatest mission—to "go and make disciples of all the nations . . ." With eternity at stake the Church should be doing most everything within its power to see lives changed forever. The Church should strive for the pinnacle of the lifecycle, where they are continually making new disciples and experiencing what Morgan refers to as "sustained health." In The Unstuck Church, Morgan unpacks each phase of the church lifecycle, and offers specific and strategic next steps the church leader can take to find it's way to sustained health . . . and finally become unstuck. The Unstuck Church is a call for honest an assessment of where your church sits on the lifecycle, and a challenge to move beyond it.

He then offers practical guidance for responding to real-life situations in the home, including disciplining children, dealing with disappointment, loving one's spouse, and pursuing joy. This book presents Christian leaders with a healthy and God-centered understanding of family that leads to a flourishing home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God Calls You from Your Comfort Zone is an inspirational book written by Carl Hays, who grew up in Mississippi during the turbulent civil rights years. Carl Hays’s father was deeply involved in human rights and civil rights campaigns of the ’60s. The book explains how a father during those turbulent years inspired and influenced his family to overcome insurmountable odds to succeed. The book opens by explaining how God created everything and each person in uniqueness, on purpose, and for a purpose. In order for each person to understand his uniqueness and purpose for being created and to be used by God, he must first learn how to communicate with God. The author goes on to explain how God will always provide a boat for Noah. God called Jonah and provided a fish. God called Abraham and provided a ram for him. God called David and provided a stone for him. God called Moses and provided a rod for him. Each person God calls must be able to understand, recognize God’s call, and be willing to step outside their comfort zone with the confidence God will provide. The author appeals to his readers to examine the times we are living in and all the prophetic signs that are appearing everywhere, to learn to communicate with God to determine their purpose and be willing to step outside their comfort zone knowing God will always provide whatever is necessary to carry out his purpose. God has a ram for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dear brothers, sisters, and friends in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Christ in me has given me a specific talent for expounding upon His word. He continues to use my talent in teaching others the most valued message that will ever be heard on this earth. I have done the best that I know to do with what God has given me to work with on the present understanding He has given me. This book is intended to teach you the truth of God that is being withheld from you by this world's deceived Christian religion around the world. Whether it is by way of their spiritual ignorance or by omission, by purposefully failing to teach it, in either case I am exposing them all to you as the tools that Satan has been using since Christ was here on earth, in teaching us the real and factual truth of God. Somehow, God has put this book in your hands. It is my hope and prayer that you will find it useful and are able to glean from it the message it contains. It is not by any accident that you have this book in your hand and are reading these words at this moment in time. If these words mean nothing at all to you, it is either because I have not done a credible service in my over half century of study in searching and seeking out the truth of God to impart to others, or God simply is not calling you at this present time. But that in no way diminishes His unconditional love, care and concern for you and your physical life here on earth. The truth is, if God is not calling you at this time, you cannot come to Him. On the other hand, if you have found something within this book that uplifts, encourages, motivates and you feel a sensation as if some unseen force is drawing you into a seemingly brighter outlook on life and the time you are spending here on earth, God may very well be calling you. Then what you do, is your own decision to make. You do not need me or any man to teach you, the Holy Spirit of God will lead you into all truth. If you are looking for a way to get started in acquainting yourself with the word, the way, and the truth of God, you are welcome to visit our website www.thetruthstandsout.com, It is free of any charge of any kind.

Book excerpt: This insightful book exposes the lies, coercion, and fear tactics used by Christian churches to get people to tithe. To say that the curse of the tithing law even exists today is a lie. This teaching conflicts with the truth stated in Galatians 3:13. The teaching that tithing is required today to obtain blessings with the emphasis on material blessings has caused many to become less spiritual minded and more materialistic. But this teaching is also a lie and conflicts with Galatians 3:14. Tithing promoters spew out untruths against non-tithers to demonize them and silence any opposition to their false teachings. Today's false prosperity gospel has transformed the gospel of grace into the gospel of greed. Most disgraceful of all, the many lies that Christian leaders utilize to dupe the poorest and most vulnerable in society out of the little money they do have, causes many of the poorest to sink even deeper into debt. Time and time again, tithing promoters fail to line up with the word of God. One lie is that tithing demands ten percent of income, when in fact, the amount should be considerably less. What can we do to change this heresy? Encourage honesty within your own church, and urge people to turn away from lies and walk in the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral science books are popping up on bestseller lists: Predictably Irrational; Thinking, Fast and Slow; Nudge; Decisive. Even the White House launched a Behavioral Insights Team to match the British Ministry of Nudges. Conspicuously absent from this conversation is the church. The Irrational Jesus bridges this gap. Ken Evers-Hood looks at Jesus through the lens of cognitive heuristics (mental shortcuts) and biases (blind spots) and makes the case that a fully human Jesus is predictably irrational--just like all of us. Find out how the Apostle Paul's community building mirrors a prisoner's dilemma game and how this makes Paul an irrational leader, too. Discover how playing better games in church can foster hopeful, flourishing communities. Improve your decision-making; learn when to plan for irrationality and when to live into it. The Irrational Jesus addresses these issues and more. Integrating the insights of behavioral economists such as Dan Ariely, the gameful thinking of Jane McGonigal, and cutting-edge ideas from decision theory, Evers-Hood articulates a behavioral theology for fully human pastors of fully human congregations--a fresh perspective that will change how pastors and other church leaders see themselves, the institutions they serve, and the scriptural and theological tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, clergy malfeasance was mentioned only in passing by group members or adherents. The subject was invisible and those who studied it were often stigmatized as hostile to religion itself. Today clergy misconduct is acknowledged as a social problem with growing conceptual and theoretical implications. In Pastoral Misconduct, Anson Shupe and Janelle M. Eliasson-Nannini argue that the history and traditions of black pastoral leadership, coupled with the close identity of many black congregants with their pastor, congregation, and racial subculture, creates opportunity structures that facilitate predatory behavior. Familiarity and mutual identity frequently leads victims to drop their normal levels of wariness. Major denominations and minor sects have been studied, but this unique study by Shupe and Eliasson-Nannini pursues nuances of pastoral bad behavior in a new context. This book is not a tabloid treatment of the American black church. In fact, the black church becomes the vehicle for a major new sociological development: a theory of clergy misconduct in any minority religion.
