The Courage to Be Imperfect

The Courage to Be Imperfect

How to Release Yourself from Unrealistic Expectations and Start Enjoying Life

__It's time to stop trying to perfect your life and start enjoying it

· reframe your overachiever mindset
· release yourself from overwhelming expectations
· build confidence and courage to embrace an imperfect life

Imagine a life where you're not afraid to make a mistake.__ A life where you don't link your worth to what you've achieved, you don't feel like you're drowning, and you never hear that voice in your head telling you you're not good enough.

No one gets more advice thrust upon them than women. Overwhelmed with information, opinions, and expectations, we are weighed down with guilt, exhaustion, and the belief that we aren't good enough . . . yet. So we keep trying to fix stuff--our bodies, our parenting, our homes. But fixing things isn't the answer. What we need is a paradigm shift, one where we stop trying to get our act together and start living boldly imperfect lives.

Sharing her own story of faltering under the crushing expectations of the world when she found herself pregnant at age sixteen, Elizabeth Danks Robbins turns the very idea of "perfect" on its head. Instead, she shows you how to stop fearing the opinions and criticism of others in favor of creating a life you actually enjoy. You'll learn to

· reframe your mindset
· embrace who you are now · trade perfection for peace

Release yourself from the pressure to prove yourself to the world. Because, as it turns out, you're not a perfect woman. You're a real one.

The Adventure Begins.

Does Science Make God Irrelevant?

Does Science Make God Irrelevant?

How Faith and Science Can Coexist to Glorify Our Creator

Questions surrounding the origins of the universe and the accuracy of biblical accounts place science at the forefront of discussions between atheists and Christians alike. Believers criticize the natural sciences as untrustworthy or even as an enemy of faith, while atheists reprimand Christians for denying empirical facts of nature. Is it possible to rightly love both God and science?

In this concise book, author Hans Madueme offers a biblically informed perspective on science, helping readers embrace both faith and science in a responsible and God-glorifying way. Does Science Make God Irrelevant? addresses misconceptions, explains how Christian assumptions make science possible, clarifies the tension between science and miracles, and illustrates ways faith and science can coexist as allies. In turn, readers will see how good science glorifies God and helps us praise our Creator.

  • Optimistic: Helps readers maintain a biblically sound worldview and a positive view of science
  • Informed Perspective: Author Hans Madueme’s medical and theological background informs his thoughts on the topic of faith and science
  • Short, Accessible Format: Explains science from a biblical perspective using 4 simple steps

Want to Escape: Reaching for Hope When Life Is Too Much

Want to Escape: Reaching for Hope When Life Is Too Much

Reaching for Hope When Life Is Too Much

When life overwhelms, it's natural to try to get away. Escape holds a powerful allure amid hard times. In every season, a myriad of pressures, challenges, regrets, and disappointments plague our lives. These trials and tribulations often provoke us to cry, "I've got to get outta here!"

Even though we have many good reasons for trying to escape, as Christians, we have even better reasons to depend courageously on our Savior in the ups and downs of life. Pastor Rush Witt helps us learn to bravely run to Christ instead of running away.

I Want to Escape explores the reasons why we so often want to run and offers hope-filled direction to experience Jesus's grace and mercy to comfort us and lead us on a better path. You will learn to recognize the classic signs of escapism: denial, distraction, self-destruction, and thoughts of death and to instead take the path of courageous dependence on Jesus, who remains closer than a brother even when we're ready to run. At the very center of Christian courage stands not a principle or a system, but a Person who intimately knows each one of us.

I Want to Escape is part of the Ask the Christian Counselor series. This series walks readers through their deepest and most profound questions. Each question is unpacked by an experienced counselor that gives readers the tools to understand their struggle and how the gospel brings hope and healing to the problem they are facing.

Now I Am Known

Now I Am Known

How a Street Kid Turned Foster Dad Found Acceptance and True Worth

In this powerful, redemptive true story, a young man living on the edge of survival is transformed into a healing presence in the lives of all he touches. At age ten, Peter Mutabazi ran away from home. For five years he survived on the streets of Kampala, Uganda, a city of 1.5 million, until one man saw potential in him. This man not only supported Peter through school but forever altered Peter's outlook in every possible way.

Since then, Peter's turnaround story has been remarkable. He served as a relief coordinator during the Rwandan genocide, worked for the International Committee of the Red Cross during the Sudan conflict, emigrated to the United States, fostered countless children, and became a single adoptive parent. He speaks seven languages and has traveled to more than one hundred countries as an international advocate for vulnerable children.

In Now I Am Known Peter reveals the transformational power of taking risks, learning to forgive, overcoming self-doubt, breaking negative patterns, and believing in a better future marked by optimism and purpose.

Immerse yourself in this inspiring story of hope.

"A must-read for anyone wondering whether they can actually make a difference in this world."--Kelly Slater, American pro surfer and world champion

"One of the most redemptive stories you'll ever read."--Jedd Medefind, president of Christian Alliance for Orphans

In our age, it's difficult to know what it means to be a man. From internal struggles with fear and distraction to external pressures to hold back essential parts of our masculinity, we often find ourselves in a position of defensiveness, tiptoeing around as we try to do the right and avoid the wrong.

God calls us to more. We were meant to live fulfilling lives driven by purpose and passion. We were meant to be lionhearted. In this energetic and inspiring book, David and Brandon Lindell of James River Church show you how to shift from operating from a place of uncertainty to actively creating the future you desire, free of struggles and external pressures that hold you back.

It's time to stop living defeated, discouraged, dejected, and disheartened and harness the power you already have to live focused, fulfilled, and fearless. This action-oriented guide will get you there.

The Autobiography

With a wealth of revelations and unpublished stories, moving and very human, poignant and dramatic, but also capable of real humour, Pope Francis’s memoir starts off in the early years of the twentieth century with the story of his Italian roots and his ancestors’ adventure of emigration to Latin America, moving on to his childhood, adolescence, choice of vocation, adult life, covering the whole of his papacy up to the present day.

In recounting his memories with intimate narrative force (not forgetting his own personal passions), Pope Francis deals unsparingly with some of the crucial moments of his papacy and writes candidly, fearlessly and prophetically about some of the most important and controversial questions of our present times: war and peace (including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), migration, environmental crisis, social policy, the position of women, sexuality, technological developments, the future of the Church and of religion in general.

The book, destined to fascinate readers throughout the world and to represent a legacy of hope for future generations, is enhanced by remarkable photographs, including private and unpublished material made personally available by the Pope himself.

Written with Carlo Musso, former Non-Fiction Editorial Director of Piemme and Sperling & Kupfer, and then founder of the independent publisher Libreria Pienogiorno, in accordance with the wishes of Pope Francis this exceptional document was originally intended to be published after his death, but the new Jubilee of Hope announced for 2025, and the needs of our times, have moved him to make this precious legacy available now.

At their favorite climbing tree, Pax and his best friend, Jayni, meet Wilmer—a comical bellbird who introduces them to a magical realm of delightful and bewitching creatures.

The children sail a vast sea, navigate a frightening forest, and summit a perilous mountain in search of a mysterious man who might be able to heal Pax. Will they be thwarted by a malevolent weeping willow, a horde of Bumfuzzles, or the dragon snake? The kids face their fears and the lurking evil that threatens to destroy them.
