Rick Warren

Pastor Rick Warren will help you understand the process God uses to fulfill the dreams He gives you.A great dream is a statement of faith. Whether you dream of creating something beautiful or accomplishing something incredible, your dream is the first step God uses to develop your spiritual maturity and change your life. The Bible is full of stories of people whose God-given dreams became reality—but to get there, they had to take a journey of faith.In Created to Dream, beloved author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren reveals how God uses six phases to develop your spiritual maturity while fulfilling the dreams he gives you. Each phase is a test of your faith, bringing you closer to your goal:Phase 1: Dream—God puts an exciting dream in your heart.Phase 2: Decision—You make the decision to go after the dream.Phase 3: Delays—God allows delays to get you ready for the dream.Phase 4: Difficulties—You face problems that grow your character.Phase 5: Dead Ends—You hit an impasse that God uses to deepen your faith further.Phase 6: Deliverance—God fulfills the dream, sometimes in ways you hadn’t expected or imagined.Knowing these six biblical phases of faith will allow you to stop wondering if you’ll succeed or what you're doing wrong and begin looking instead for God's way forward so that you can be prepared for all that God has dreamed for your future.God's dream for your life awaits you!

Livet är ingen slump. Redan innan universum skapades fanns du i Guds tankar. Det finns ett syfte med ditt liv och det sträcker sig långt bortom de få år du kommer att leva här på jorden. Du är skapad att leva för evigt. Självhjälpsböcker säger ofta att man ska försöka upptäcka livets mening och syfte genom att söka inom sig själv, men Rick Warren säger att allt börjar med Gud, Skaparen. Du är skapad av Gud och för Gud, och inte förrän du inser detta kommer livet att verka begripligt. Boken är upplagd som en personlig 40 dagars andlig resa som vill hjälpa dig att förstå livets viktigaste fråga: Vad i hela världen gör jag här? När du upptäcker att det finns mål och mening så minskar stressen, du blir fokuserad, det blir lättare att fatta beslut och att leva ett liv i tjänst för andra. Leva med mål och mening är en vägvisare för kristenlivet på 2000-talet - ett liv som grundar sig på Guds evighetsperspektiv, inte på tidstrender. Här finns mer än 1200 bibelcitat eller bibelhänvisningar, här utmanas den konventionella synen på vad tillbedjan, gemenskap, lärjungaskap, tjänst och evangelisation är. I Oswald Chambers tradition kommer Rick Warren med ett koncentrat av visdom. Detta är en hoppfull och utmanande bok som kan läsas gång på gång.

Do you feel guilt and shame about negative thoughts and emotions and your inability to overcome them? Bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges helps those struggling with depression find liberating solutions by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah.You might be asking, Should a Christian even be having these struggles?Depression is the number one health issue in the world today, yet those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized—especially followers of Jesus. Many assume God's peace, power, and protection should prevent us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, and afraid. But the Bible teaches otherwise, particularly in its depiction of the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah.In Out of the Cave, Chris Hodges uses Elijah's life to show us that everyone is susceptible to depression. Even when we're walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. But we don't have to stay there, because we serve a God who meets us in the darkness. Out of the Cave helps usremove the stigma of depression and realize we're not alone;understand the ways our temperament and view of God affect the way we handle depression; andlearn a comprehensive approach to wellness—mind, body, and soul—from Elijah's journey.With his trademark blend of Bible-based wisdom, practical application, and vulnerability in sharing his personal struggles, Hodges explores the causes of depression we can't change, the contributors we can conquer, and offers transformative hope and spiritual power to help us win the battle.
