The Courage to Change: Saying Goodbye to Good Enough and Embracing the Promise of What Can Be by Joyce Meyer
The Courage to Change: Saying Goodbye to Good Enough and Embracing the Promise of What Can Be
by Joyce Meyer

Change is inevitable. And sometimes it's confusing and difficult, even when it's good. We can't keep change from coming, but we can allow it to transform us rather than derail us by facing it and embracing it through the lens of God's unchanging promises to us. We've all heard the saying, The only constant is change. Sometimes the changes we face, both expected and unexpected, can make our lives feel ungrounded and unsteady. And when we react to change with fear, an opportunity for growth can turn into overwhelming anxiety that locks us into situations, relationships, and ways of thinking and being that prevent us from living in the fullness of who we truly are in Christ.

You were not meant to live stuck. Maybe you've had glimpses of something much bigger, better, and higher for your life.

In Graced to Go, Victoria Osteen encourages you to leave your fear behind and take the first step in the direction that God is calling you.

The Buddhist Years by Jack Kerouac
The Buddhist Years
by Jack Kerouac

A brand new volume of previously unpublished writings from the archives reflecting Jack Kerouac's Buddhist thinking. From a young age Kerouac was a spiritual thinker and questioner, and he always considered himself a spiritual writer. Buddhism gave more meaning to Jack's work as a writer: he was working not for personal accomplishment and glory but for human betterment. And Buddhism justified his lifestyle: with its vision of the material world as empty and illusory, he was free to do what he wanted. This collection shows Jack at his earnest, soulful best.
