In his book The Heart of Christ, Thomas Goodwin explores the intimate relationship between Christians and the glorified Jesus Christ in heaven. He poses an important question: now that Christ sits exalted in glory, does he still have mercy and compassion for struggling sinners down on earth? In the Gospels, we meet a gentle and welcoming Jesus who offers forgiveness to all. But what about the Christ enthroned in majesty - can we run to him in our weaknesses? Goodwin provides reassuring answers. He explains that despite his exalted position, Jesus deeply cares for his people. His glorified heart overflows with love and mercy even for poor, sinful souls. For centuries, Goodwin's moving descriptions of Christ's affection for believers have brought comfort and delight to Christian hearts. This book offers a life-giving glimpse into the never-ending compassion at the heart of our reigning Lord.

There's an old question about whether a person will be a thermometer or a thermostat in life. A thermometer merely registers the temperature of the surroundings, but a thermostat actually controls the temperature. This inspiring story demonstrates how during the major junctures in his life, John Womack has and continues to be a thermostat.Growing up in a Virginia sharecropping family in the midst of pernicious racism and economic deprivation, Womack was able to learn how to overcome these obstacles without losing his belief that human beings are basically good and will do right when given the opportunity. Throughout his life, he combined his creative vision not only with the necessary business acumen, but also with moral and ethical responsibility in spite of an environment of greed, egotism, and selfishness. Regardless of his position--whether in the navy or as an entrepreneur, husband, father, student, pastor, board member, and friend--Womack has acquitted himself with a spiritual consciousness that girded him with the capability to overcome the barriers to progress and prosperity.He never abandoned his fundamentally Christian orientation amid a variety of temptations.Remaining humble through all these endeavors, Womack longs to share his life work with today's youth, young adults, and others. He yearns to encourage them to believe--despite surrounding hardships and institutional barriers--that they can transcend their existential circumstances and make something out of their lives. By sharing his life story, Womack hopes to encourage others to confront today's challenges with wisdom, faith, hope, and love. Certainly, the Rev. Dr. John Womack--sharecropper, veteran, entrepreneur, husband, father of three, pastor, and author--exemplifies this possibility and personifies this truth.

Though perhaps the most common practice of all those who claim to be religious, prayer is often misunderstood, used incorrectly, or avoided for fear of doing it wrong, or unbelief that praying has any purpose or result. This little book walks through the reader through an examination of common beliefs about prayer, what the Bible teaches us about prayer, and how we can, and should, pray in a manner that is faithful to God's Word and based on God's Word and promises associated with prayer.

I spent some years in my early Christian life struggling. Those early years were anything but wonderful. I knew I needed to read through the Bible and have an early-morning quiet time. I just couldn't connect the dots between what the Bible said and what was happening in my real life.What I needed was a story (devotional) that would relate to my life and also point to the truth I was reading in the Bible. I noticed I had more joy reading the Bible when I was reading those daily scriptures along with a short story that helped the scriptures "come alive," so to speak.You may find some of my stories outside the mainstream of "church thought." However, they will bring you into the life of another person and hopefully help you connect the story with the truth of scripture. I pray some of them will help you find God in your life's situations and circumstances. If one story touches one person, I'll consider that a success.

Authentic faith requires courageIn today's fast-paced, fast-changing world when yesterday's truths are declared to be today's folly, one can easily become confused and overwhelmed and disheartened.Personal problems, national turmoil, global conflicts, and cultural changes may seem like giants too big to conquer.The challenges of day-to-day living can seem like walls closing in.Whatever the conflict, the change, or the challenge, Christians are called to be brave, have courage, and live victoriously-not by their own strength but because "we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" (Rom. 8:37).Join author Roy G.Miller as he guides readers through 123 days of interactive devotions to help and encourage them to put their faith in action and live bold, victorious, and joyful lives.

What if every ungodly political, business, educational, industry, and community leader were evicted from their role today? Are there enough prepared Christians to move into those positions? We cannot Biblically justify inaction and stagnation.As we prepare to move through the chapters of this book: Resistance, Recompense, Reconciliation, Response, & Results, we must establish one very important thing, you are not disqualified! In fact, you have been indefinitely qualified, verified by the opposition you have faced. This message is for you!Excerpt: "If only they would live up to their potential," a classic statement people make when pondering why someone who could do better, won't do better. How can an onlooker, from the exterior, see something so great inside another person that the person themselves fails to even notice or acknowledge?More often than we recognize, we interfere with and delay the manifestation of the desires of our hearts. Throughout the first chapter of Genesis, God created the heavens and the earth. Each declaration He made began with the word, Let! Even when, "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep," the Spirit of God was hovering - in position, ready, anticipating, the verbal commanding declaration of, Let (see Genesis 1:2-3).Let it Happen.Let what is already hovering in the Spirit be activated. Even when we can't make sense of a situation (when it is without form; beholding the result in the not yet recognizable future); when we feel empty, or our plans have been cancelled (voided), and we face despair and destitution (darkness); the willing and available Spirit of God has all things ready.For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. -Ephesians 2:10Let it be according to His word. You have been handcrafted by God, created in Christ Jesus for good works, to do all things that God already prepared beforehand that you should walk in them.You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. -John 15:16We should go, we should bear fruit, and it should remain. The prepaid course is already measured, marked, and mapped. In vain, we worry, wonder, and grow weary toiling - trying to build the course. God already created the course, and wonderfully formed, uniquely crafted, and equipped each of us to bring to completion what He already wrote about us in His book.Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. -Psalm 139:16

". . . for busy men and women,who need to begin the day with God."Florence Hobart Perin published the original text of The Optimist's Good Morning in 1907. She felt the need for a book that might help people "start out to do the work of the day with hope and courage." Our need to start the day that way now is just as strong. Our lives are no less busy-probably more so. The world is no less chaotic-definitely more so.Just as the original author reminded her readers in 1907, none of today's preoccupations or responsibilities take the place of God. Instead, they remind us how very much we need Him. Taking time each day to be with Him, to gain much-needed perspective on this world and His kingdom, is so very important.This version of the book is updated with more modern language, features the addition of Scripture, and includes space for notes.May this book be a useful tool as you seek God and good mornings all year!

Sharing the love of Jesus should be easy.So why does speaking openly about our biblical faith sometimes feel risky?If you're like many Christian women, you want to be a light for Jesus, but fear prevents you from sharing what matters. You might worry . . . What if I offend her?What if she thinks I'm pushing my faith on her?What if she asks me a question I can't answer? . . . and let the opportunity to share the hope of Jesus pass. It's countercultural to share our faith in this "live and let live" society, but Jesus calls us to shine!In The Blue Cord, iHOPE cofounder Karen Bejjani invites women on a life-changing, faith-building journey to becoming authentic witnesses for Jesus as they go about their everyday lives.
