Staying Full Of God
Andrew Wommack
Do you feel as if your Christian life is full of highs and lows? Perhaps you attend a special church service that
draws you close to God or even experience a healing. In those moments your heart is filled with the presence of God,
but within a few days or weeks, you once again feel empty or sick. You are not alone. Even though many believers
experience this, it is not what the Lord intended. The keys to staying full of God are not a secret and they are not
mysterious, they are simple. For that very reason few people recognize their value and even less practice them! In
this amazingly practical message, Andrew Wommack reveals the essentials to a strong, close relationship with God.
Learn what they are and how to put them into practice. It will keep your heart sensitive toward God and your
relationship will grow like never before!

The Secret To True Happiness
Joyce Meyer
I am convinced one of the most important lessons we can ever learn is to choose to be happy every day of our lives as
we look forward to the future. One of my greatest desires is to see people thoroughly enjoy the quality of life Jesus
died to give us, to actually be happy. Not just to read about it or talk about it, but to walk in it and experience
true happiness as a daily reality. I have come to believe that people desperately want to enjoy their lives, to live
every day with peace, contentment, and joy, which I like to define as "anything from extreme hilarity to calm delight.
" What about you? Are you enjoying today as you look toward tomorrow? Are you generally happy, content, and satisfied
with who you are and what you do each day? Do you take time to notice and appreciate the everyday experiences that
make life rich and rewarding? Or do you race through each day so you can get to the next one? Do you take breaks and
find things to laugh about on a regular basis, or do you allow the pressure of your responsibilities to carve a frown
on your face as you keep your nose to the grindstone? My desire in this book is to share with you some of the truths
I've learned about THE SECRET TO TRUE HAPPINESS. As you read them and apply them to your life, don't be surprised if
you find yourself enjoying your life in ways you never dreamed possible. That's my prayer for you today.

Finding Our Way Again
Ancient Practices Series
Brian McLaren
Most of us suffer from spiritual disorientation. Our souls are untended. And in this fragmented world, a soul left
untended quickly loses direction. It forgets itself and becomes an insubstantial thing, disoriented and unavailable
to the truth. And neither scientific secularism nor religious fundamentalism nor vague spiritualities have been able
to offer any real answers. That's why a growing number of Christians are turning to early spiritual practices as a
means of tending their souls. For centuries, believers have eagerly submitted to disciplines such as fixed-hour
prayer, fasting, sacred meals, observing the Sabbath, or pilgrimage to create an everyday sacredness, a spiritual
rhythm for living within the well-worn grooves of workaday life. In Finding Our WayAgain, Brian McLaren serves as
guide to a wide variety of these disciplines, showing how they form character, awaken us to life, and help us to
experience God, and each other, in new and fresh ways.
