Courage: Persevering in the Face of Fear
By Jon Johnston
What's our God-directed responsibility to exhibit genuine courage? In a troubled sea of shifting values, where courage is needed most, we will draw upon the Lord to take a stand for what's right and wrong? We have a hope, grounded in our Saviour, to overcome all fear and doubt. Godly courage requires that we struggle against the tide, take unpopular stands, and reach out to people in need. Ultimatley it requires that we ignore the many reasons the world gives for not acting and following the example of Christ.

A Resilient Life
By Gordon MacDonald
At a young age, Gordon MacDonald recognized that he had inherited a "quitter's gene," and because of this--and an influential track coach--he began a lifelong quest for answers. "Why," he had to ask, "do some people finish what they start, persevere in moments of adversity, push themselves in the direction of their potential, and often make their greatest contributions in the latter half of life? Why do others expect to retire from life when they reach their senior years?" The element in those who don't quit is resilience. Those who have it, MacDonald insists, have gathered all the lessons from life--success and failures--to build a foundation of strength and character, preparing them to face anything. Using examples from the Bible, from his own life, and from the lives of contemporary people, MacDonald identifies the characteristics of resilience, leading readers through the self-assessment needed to develop them. The journey is demanding and humbling, he reminds us, but the rewards of living well are immeasurable.

Overcoming the Enemy: The Spiritual Warfare of the Believer, Softcover
By T.D. Jakes / Bethany
Spiritual warfare is so much more than just telling the devil to leave you alone. It requires an absolute dependence on God and the weapons He provides to see you through every situation victoriously.
In this final study of Ephesians, T.D. Jakes tackles the tough questions regarding spiritual warfare:
- Why does your loving heavenly Father make you fight to posssess all He has given you?
- What strategies does Satan use in an attempt to control your will?
- Why is prayer the only way to victory in spiritual warfare and to seeing results in the natural realm?
If you're tired of feeling beat down and crushed by the devil's schemes in your life, the principles in this book are your keys to becoming more than a conqueror. Your enemy is strong, but God is stronger still...and He's given you everything you need to win!

Say Goodbye to Stubborn Sin: A surgeon explains the physiological factors that trigger it
By Clark Gerhart & Jefferson Scott
Victory over the flesh is within your grasp! You love the Lord - so why can't you gain lasting victory over that one recurring sin? You've prayed for help and tried everybody's 10 point plan, but you find yourself back on your knees, asking God to forgive you for doing the thing you said you'd never do again.
Are you going to live with this misery forever? No! says Christian physician Clark Gerhart. In this fascinating new perspective on our fallen human nature, Dr. Gerhart explains what lies behind strongholds and how sin uses the body's God given systems to urge you to continue in these behaviors. He then shows how God's work of sanctification can lead you into victory and peace. No longer will you be a slave to the pressure that drives you to the old disobedience. No longer will the flesh keep you in wretched defeat. Once you are free of the sin that so easily entangles, you'll even be equipped to minister to those around you.
If you have ever longed to enjoy Christian freedom, this message will help you:
- Understand the surprising link between stubborn sin and your body's processes
- Discover the common root of every recurring sin and what to do about it
- Identify repeated patterns of behavior in your life as signs of control by the flesh
- Grasp how the flesh is behind current and biblical events
- Learn the simple process that brings God's cleansing power

Prayers that Outwit the Enemy: Making God's Word Your First Line of Defense
By Chuck D. Pierce & Rebecca Wagner Sytsema
Chuck Pierce and Becky Wagner Sytsema show us how to pray with power and authority--offering prayers of submission, confrontation, faith, wisdom, breakthrough and more--so we can learn to outwit the enemy of our souls. Result? The enemy stops dead in his tracks! Christians often feel defeated and victimized by Satan and his minions possible to live without giving Satan any ground. So why don't more Christians experience victory and power? Chuck and Becky say it's because we spend more time licking our wounds than we do studying Satan's sniper strategies -- so much so that the sniper, Satan, continues to run amok! This book calls us to pray in specific ways to overcome Satan's attacks and to don the armor of God described in Ephesians 6.
