Light The World: How Your Brilliance Can Shift The Planet
by Marnie L. Pehrson
“Light the World: How Your Brilliance Can Shift the Planet” will expand your view of what’s possible as Light Bearers weave their messages together to herald Christ’s Kingdom to Earth.
“We live in a time of growing spiritual darkness; but on the flipside, it is also a time of great enlightenment, progress, growth, and healing. As you conquer personal challenges, you may feel called to share your newfound light with others. But that task can feel overwhelming. The truth is, you may be the first to provide the needed illumination for others to experience a similar victory. You’re a pioneer. So if you’ve ever wondered, ‘How can I possibly fulfill the role that seems to be uniquely mine to fill?’ through this book, you will band together with other light-bearing pioneers and find the needed strength and understanding to get the job done.” – Leslie Householder, author of “The Jackrabbit Factor: Portal to Genius”
FreedomShift : 3 Choices to Reclaim America’s Destiny
by Oliver DeMille
Americans who are so demonstrably willing to labor and sacrifice for the benefit of their posterity can only allow the destruction of the forms that protect our freedoms if they do not understand what freedom is, nor how to maintain it. A FreedomShift is needed today; and to accomplish it, Oliver DeMille proposes The 3 Choices to Reclaim America’s destiny. Can it be possible that such a peaceful revolution can be accomplished by three simple choices made by a relative few?
Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
by Seth Godin
A tribe is any group of people, large or small, who are connected to one another, a leader, and an idea. For millions of years, humans have been seeking out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical (think of the Deadheads). It’s our nature.
If you think leadership is for other people, think again—leaders come in surprising packages. All they have in common is the desire to change things, the ability to connect a tribe, and the willingness to lead. If you ignore this opportunity, you risk turning into a “sheepwalker”—someone who fights to protect the status quo at all costs, never asking if obedience is doing you (or your organization) any good. Sheepwalkers don’t do very well these days.
Your Role
You’re Here for a Reason: Discover & Live Your Purpose
by Marnie L. Pehrson
Don’t let anything stand in your way. Not worry, not fear, not the adversary and, especially, not your own limiting beliefs about yourself! Marnie shares these lessons about experiencing the true joy that can only be found in a close relationship with the Savior, Jesus Christ. We must grow so close, she says, that our life purpose is in sync with what He created us to do. Just as an eagle is happiest when it’s soaring through the air and a horse is happiest when it’s galloping across a field, you are happiest when living the life you were born to!
Each of the fifty-two wise, honest, and profound lessons is designed to help you discover and live your own unique life of joyful purpose. Used consistently with scripture and prayer, they will indeed fill what Goethe described as the “God-shaped hole” in every human heart.
“You could open to any page, read for only ten minutes, and come away changed. A delightful and profound handbook for life–filled with wisdom, humor, compassion and just plain good advice. Don’t even consider living the rest of your life until you’ve read this book!” – Kerry Blair, author of “Counting Blessings” www.KerryBlair.com
Lord, Are You Sure?
by Marnie L. Pehrson
One of the hardest things for a Christian to understand is what God is up to in his/her life. We go through spiritual highs and lows, have challenges and afflictions, suffer and sometimes succumb to temptation. All of this can seem confusing at times. Isn’t following God supposed to be joyous and froth with continual blessings? On the contrary, the Christian life is hardly a free hopper pass to Disney World. Christian or not, life is difficult, demanding and sometimes downright unfair. But if we can find the meaning in it all, it’s much easier to bear, and we’ll have peace knowing that God knows where He’s taking us and that the journey will all be worth it.
God works in definite patterns in the lives of His children. Understand God’s methods and how He navigates, and you begin to see what He is trying to teach you. You may think He’s crazy stopping off to see the largest ball of twine, until a piece of that twine comes in handy on a later adventure. Everything He does is for a reason, and that reason is to prepare you for something later down the road. Understanding human nature and also how God disciplines and instructs his children will help you quit questioning His navigation. You’ll begin to relax and let God work His wonder in your life.
