Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm.

Many of us do not trust our own thoughts, feelings, and desires when it comes to discerning God's will. Instead we look outside ourselves to determine what God wants from and for us.

La lengua prácticamente no pesa nada, pero son pocas las personas que consiguen sujetársela.

Spiritual warfare is real, and we are all involved whether we like it or not. The Bible plainly tells us that Satan schemes against humanity and that he wants to devour us. Daily we struggle against Satan's strategies and desire to take over God’s kingdom. This battle will not go away, and ignoring it could be disastrous. But don't be afraid. The victory is already won by Christ. No enemy is powerful enough to overcome the risen savior. In this book, Mark Bubeck exposes the reality of the conflict and the hope believers have.

Journaling has emerged as one of the most consistently transformative practices, recommended by leaders across spiritual traditions, therapists, coaches, and others.

The jobs we work at each week, the money we struggle to make, and the people we live to please, don’t ever seem to be enough. Material things in life only fulfill us temporarily and will never help us become fully satisfied. When it comes to difficulties, we quickly learn that we aren’t even close to being equipped to deal with the major losses brought on by sudden tragedies. Sometimes it feels like there is no solid answer and that life leaves one big unanswered question; but there is an answer: Your why. The truth is: You were designed for a something greater.

In this edifying 12-lecture audio course, you’ll understand why her teachings remain transformational today.
