Wrangling Delight Out of This Wild and Glorious Life

New York Times bestselling author Jen Hatmaker, with playful hilarity, shameless honesty, and refreshing insight, assures readers they have all the pluck they need for vibrant, courageous, grace-filled lives. Jen Hatmaker believes backbone is the birthright of every woman. Women have been demonstrating resiliency and resolve since forever. They have incredibly strong shoulders to bear loss, hope, grief, and vision. She laughs at the days to come is how the ancient wisdom writings put it. But somehow women have gotten the message that pain and failure mean they must be doing things wrong, that they messed up the rules or tricks for a seamless life. As it turns out, every last woman faces confusion and loss, missteps and catastrophic malfunctions, no matter how much she is doing "right." Struggle doesn't mean they're weak; it means they're alive. Jen Hatmaker, beloved author, Big Sister Emeritus, and Chief BFF, offers another round of hilarious tales, frank honesty, and hope for the woman who has forgotten her moxie. Whether discussing the grapple with change ("Everyone, be into this thing I'm into! Except when I'm not. Then everyone be cool.") or the time she drove to the wrong city for a fourth-grade field trip ("Why are we in San Antonio?"), Jen parlays her own triumphs and tragedies into a sigh of relief for all normal, fierce women everywhere who, like her, sometimes hide in the car eating crackers but also want to get back up and get back out, to live undaunted "in the moment" no matter what the moments hold.

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams." Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come. The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist. The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.

The writer of Proverbs counseled, Get wisdom! In the following pages, Dr. E. M. Clark shares timeless wisdom on faith and fundraising. From firsthand experience, I know that it is wisdom that works whether your church has a congregation of 80 or 800. On three separate occasions, Dr. Clark has used these biblical principles to help us experience miracles and accomplish our goals as a church. We first saw these principles put to work when we needed to purchase ground for our young congregation. While the purchase price of $37,000 was very reasonable, our small congregation did not have the money for that kind of purchase. Through Dr. Clark s willingness to set an example in his giving and by encouraging others to do the same, the necessary funds were raised within two months. In fact, we were able to purchase the land debt free. Shortly afterward, our congregation, which was meeting in leased office space, decided to build a permanent building. We called on Dr. Clark to help us direct and plan our fundraising effort. That weekend was truly one of the outstanding weekends in the history of our church. At the close of the service, as the pledges were totaled, the pledged amount grew higher and higher. As the pledges came in, the people were applauding and cheering. Our congregation of 150 people raised $120,000 in one year commitments! I must add that until that time, I had never been a part of a fundraiser where people were so excited and happy about giving their money. Within two years, our church again needed to raise funds for a new building and asked Dr. Clark to help us with the project. Privately our goal was to raise $400,000. With just one month of preparation and by following Dr. Clark s instruction, we were able to raise an amount that exceeded our annual tithes and offerings. On that weekend in January 1994, Dr. Clark helped our congregation raise - not $400,000 - but almost $700,000 in one year commitments! Following this last capital fund weekend, it has been such a delight to see God working financial miracles in the lives of those who stepped out in faith. The result has been twofold: there is an excitement that pervades our services; and within the first five weeks, we have seen over $107,000 given toward the building. This book could change your ministry. The principles we have learned from Dr. Clark have not only helped our church raise money to purchase land and construct the building, but they have resulted in a dramatic increase in our regular giving. Proverbs 11:24 says, One man gives freely, yet gains even more . . . (NIV). As you read this book you will see how that can be true in your life and in your church. If you apply these principles, you will never be the same. John Lindell, Senior Pastor James River Assembly of God, Springfield, Missouri .

There are four great temptations that plague most young men: sloth, lust, love of pleasure, and peer pressure. J.C. Ryle--the last of the great Puritans--tackles each of these subjects with a tenderness and tact which is unsurpassed. If it was difficult to be a young man in the days of the nineteeth century when Ryle first penned Thoughts for Young Men, it is all the more difficult to be a young man in the twenty-first century world of image-overload, radical individualism, and rampant sensuality. Thoughts for Young Men remains to this day the most relevent and helpful book on the subject in print.

For fans of Louise Rennison, Sarah Mlynowski, and Stephanie Perkins comes a laugh-out-loud, bittersweet debut full of wit, wisdom, heart, and a hilarious, unforgettable heroine.

It's kind of crazy how you can pay so much attention to yourself and still not see a thing.

Izzy is a hypochondriac with enormous boobs that won't stop growing, a mother with a rare disease who's hiding something, a best friend who appears to have undergone a personality transplant, and a date with an out-of-her-league athlete who just spilled Gatorade all over her. Yes, Izzy Skymen has a hectic life. But what Izzy doesn't realize is that these are only minor symptoms of life's insanity. When she discovers that the people she trusts most are withholding from her the biggest secrets, things are about to get epic -- or is it epidemic?

A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations

A generation stands on the brink of a "rebelution." "Most people don't expect you to understand what we're going to tell you in this book. And even if you understand, they don't expect you to care. And even if you care, they don't expect you to do anything about it. And even if you do something about it, they don't expect it to last. We do." - Alex and Brett Do Hard Things is the Harris twins' revolutionary message in its purest and most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential. Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, the authors weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life. Then they map out five powerful ways teens can respond for personal and social change. Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of an already-happening teen revolution challenges a generation to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today. Now includes: -- A new introduction from the authors, "Looking Back, Looking Ahead" -- Questions (and Stories) To Get You Started -- A list of 100 Hard Things to help inspire you -- A study guide for personal or group use

Discover the Joy of Being Free in Your Faith

Since the days of the Early Church, Christians have struggled to find a way to be 'good'-to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what's more, their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world-bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour's study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not man reaching up, but God reaching down. Every Christian can enjoy his or her birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope, joy, power and potential.
