incredible creative power. They are like seeds, taking root and flourishing when we speak them out loud. And, eventually, what we say transforms our lives. In The Miracle in Your Mouth , Joel Osteen expands on his powerful message of aligning your words with what's in your heart—and what God says about you-to release miracles that are meant for you. Believing in positive change is one thing; speaking it to life is another. Your dreams and aspirations-the ones God has purposefully put in your path—may seem unlikely or even impossible. During times when it feels like you can't catch a break, or situations where you give it all you've got but still can't turn things around, God is asking you to stay true to yourself and speak your victories out loud. Even when defeat feels inevitable, you must speak as if you've already won. To help you live your most victorious life, Joel Osteen shares cherished Scripture and personal insight into the power of speaking out in faith, noting special moments when God did the unexpected and inexplicable in his own life. Stay inspired on your journey, as you talk yourself into prosperity, opportunity, and healing. The miracle is in your mouth!

Discover the new collection of original writings by Rachel Held Evans, whose reflections on faith and life continue to encourage,…
challenge, and influence, lovingly performed by Daniel Jonce Evans, Jeff Chu, Jamie Wright, Sarah Bessey, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Kristen Howerton, Kaitlin Curtice, Amanda Held Opelt, Rev. Neichelle R. Guidry, Ph.D., Candice Marie Benbow, Kathy Khang, the Rev. Wil Gafney, Ph.D., and Amena Brown. Rachel Held Evans is widely recognized for her theologically astute, profoundly honest, and beautifully personal books, which have guided, instructed, edified, and shaped Christians as they seek to live out a just and loving faith. At the time of her tragic death in 2019, Rachel was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we've been told—and the stories we tell—about our faith, our selves, and our world. This book is for the doubter and the dreamer, the seeker and the sojourner, those who long for a sense of spiritual wholeness as well as those who have been hurt by the Church but can't seem to let go of the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Rachel wrestles with God's grace and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is and does, and explores universal human questions about becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate book

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I&’ve Loved) asks,…
how do you move forward with a life you didn&’t choose? &“Kate Bowler is the only one we can trust to tell us the truth.&”—Glennon Doyle, author of the # 1 New York Times bestseller Untamed It&’s hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. A beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, until she discovered, at age 35, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human , she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today&’s &“best life now&” advice industry, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness. We are, she finds, as fragile as the day we were born. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another if we&’re going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between—and there&’s no cure for being human

include alcoholism, suicide, drug addiction and child abuse to name but a few. Many mental health problems are on the increase such as depression, phobias and anxiety with no obvious solution in sight. In Gods and Diseases, David Tacey argues that the answers lie in leaving behind the confines of conventional medicine. Instead we should turn towards spirituality and to what he calls 'meaning-making', to make sense of our physical and mental wellbeing and explore how the numinous may help us to heal.

difficult to explain to our friends, families, and neighbors what we believe and why. When our ideas and arguments fail to persuade them, what then? Is there another approach we can take? Veteran apologists and communicators J. P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff say that the best way to win over others is with a good story. Stories have the ability to get behind our preconceptions and defenses. They appeal to the whole person rather than just to the mind. This expanded edition includes new chapters and updated stories and illustrations throughout. In these pages the authors enhance the logic and evidence found in other books defending the faith with things that your friends, relatives, or coworkers will ponder long after a conversation is over. Here is sound, empathetic coaching for those of us who long to communicate our faith more effectively.
