Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Pastor and cofounder of the Bethel School of Ministry Kris Vallotton walks Christians through the profound process of discovering their true identity and experiencing the wonder of their kingdom purposes. Christians are often told that they were born with a purpose that reaches beyond their human strivings, but most are not sure how to break past the daily struggles holding them back, much less how to fully step into their callings. As a pastor and the cofounder of the Bethel School of Ministry, Kris Vallotton has been teaching Christians all over the world how to walk in wholeness and purpose for more than seventeen years. In Destined to Win, he passes on the lessons that will help readers discover who they really are, overcome destructive behaviors, and become equipped for their kingdom purposes. Confronting the challenges that limit Christians—such as living shackled by past pain, fear, and unforgiveness—Vallotton offers practical solutions to the often-complex problems that undermine their destinies and derail their purposes. With personal stories and biblical teaching, Destined to Win combines practical wisdom and profound revelation to unlock the latent potential present in each person.

Turning Pain into Purpose
Author: Loretta Everson
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
The greatest healing comes from turning pain into purpose. The Christian life is not always going to go smoothly. Joseph of the Bible was accused of rape and wrongly convicted. Job suffered pain and loss. Jesus suffered and died on the cross. Bad things are going to happen, but we also "know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28). In Turning Pain into Purpose Loretta gives personal insight into paving a way to turning pain into purpose through guidance and prayer. As Christians, we have a mandate to love the unlovable, to love women and men who don't know how to love themselves. Loretta has made it her purpose to teach as many hurting people as God allows--that even when you don't know how to love yourself, God will always love you with an everlasting love. It is his desire that the cycle of brokenness and abuse be removed from our lives so we can walk in his freedom and purpose for our lives. Your purpose is in your testimony, and when you turn your story into a testimony, give it to God and he will heal you and reveal to you that you are not alone. Someone needs to hear you survived your pain and how you were able to overcome. God has a purpose for you. It is not to live abused and broken the rest of your life. Once you get a relationship with him, cry out to him. He will hear you. He has been there for you all the time, waiting to turn your brokenness into purpose.

The Book of Forgiving
Author: Desmond Tutu
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062203584
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu's wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.

Unpacking Forgiveness
Author: Chris Brauns
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433521407
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Helps readers move beyond the wounds and baggage of bitterness, disagreements, and broken relationships. "True or false: most Christian pastors and counselors agree on what forgiveness is and how it should take place." This question is part of Chris Brauns's Forgiveness Quiz that draws readers into his book and gets them thinking about the subject of forgiveness. The truth is, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly on this subject. Unpacking Forgiveness combines sound theological thinking and honesty about the complicated questions many face to provide readers with a solid understanding of biblical forgiveness. Only God's Word can unpack forgiveness. The wounds are too deep for us to find healing on our own, and the questions are too complex to be unraveled by anything but the wisdom of God. This book goes beyond a feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness, balancing the beauty of God's grace and the necessity of forgiveness with the teaching that forgiveness must take place in a way that is consistent with justice.
