Offering an opportunity to form a direct connection with the Council of Light, this book provides practical tools to move from a life of worry, debt, exhaustion, and isolation to one of joy, abundance, purpose, ease, and connectedness, with a team of Divine supporters to assist you along the way.
The Counterfeit Christ of the New Age Movement
by Ron RhodesLike the apostle Paul, Christianity has always stood on Mars Hill between the Epicureans and the Stoics, between atheism and pantheism. Today, they would be called Secular Humanists and New Agers. The first is a materialist, insisting that everything is reducible to matter. The latter are mystics, reducing all to mind or spirit. The former believe there is no God at all, and the latter claim that God is all and that all is God. Both are deadly enemies of Christianity, which confesses that God is the creator of all. At different times in history, one or the other of these enemies of the Christian faith has been the greater threat. Currently, the dominant move in our culture is away from the Epicureans to the Stoics, away from Secular Humanism to the New Age. As Harvey Cox put it in the title of his book, there is a "Turn East." Most Christians are ill-equipped to handle this new trend. We have become accustomed to responding to atheists, who do not believe in God, Christ, the soul, prayer, and life after death. But what about New Agers, who claim to believe in all of these? Of course, beneath their common terminology is an entirely different theology. This is the deceptive nature of the New Age and the need for more careful Christian scrutiny. To date, much of the Christian response to the New Age threat has been popular and even sensational. What has been needed is something more theological and biblical. In this excellent book by Ron Rhodes we have one of the first comprehensive, biblical, and critical responses to the core of New Age error. By centering on the New Age view of Christ, this book at once exposes the heretical nature of New Age teaching as well as highlights the central teaching of Christianity, the unique person and work of Jesus Christ, the God-Man. To be sure, there are more dimensions to New Age teaching than its view of Christ, but there are none more important. Furthermore, by centering on Christology, Rhodes is able to relate many of the other New Age teachings to this essential core doctrine. This book is by far the most comprehensive, biblical, and scholarly critique of any central New Age teaching available today.

The Courage Way: Leading and Living with Integrity
by The Center for Courage & Renewal Shelly L. FrancisThe Courage WayLeading and Living with IntegrityLeadership can be exhausting, lonely, frustrating, disappointing, and downright discouraging. You have to make good decisions while balancing inevitable tensions and knowing when to take risks. You need to keep your values in sight regardless of the pressures around you and stay calm in the storms that arise. At its core, leadership is a daily, ongoing practice, a journey toward becoming your best self and inviting others to do the same. And at the heart of this daily practice is courage. And that's where The Courage Way comes in. It's a guide to leadership that names and explores this important resource and shows leaders how to access and draw upon courage in all that they do. It has its roots in the work of Parker J. Palmer, who in fifty years of teaching, speaking, and writing has explored the human spirit—what he has called "the inner landscape"—and its role in life and leadership.Shelly Francis identifies key ingredients needed to cultivate courage, the most fundamental being trust—in ourselves and in each other. She describes the Center for Courage & Renewal's Circle of Trust approach, centered around eleven "touchstones," poetic and practical operating guidelines for holding the meaningful conversations of inner work and trust building. Each chapter features true stories of how leaders in all kinds of settings have overcome challenges and strengthened their organizations through touchstones like "Extend invitation, not demand," "No fixing, saving, advising, or correcting," and "When the going gets rough, turn to wonder."This graceful and inspiring book is a guide to courageous leadership and a journey of self-discovery—the two are inextricable. As Francis writes, "Courage is not only in you—it is you. In your moments of courage, that's when you meet your true self."

The Courage to Change: Saying Goodbye to Good Enough and Embracing the Promise of What Can Be
by Joyce MeyerChange 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. Beloved Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer wants us to know that even when we feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, we can stand firm on the promise of God&’s Word that He will see us through. With her signature insight and timeless wisdom, Joyce shows us how to align our emotional reactions to changes with the truth of God&’s promise that He will work all changes for good in our lives, even the most painful and difficult ones. In TheCourage to Change, you will learn how to: Embrace change as a necessary part of growth Replace a mindset of fear with a mindset of opportunity And live fully within the uncertainty of change while maintaining peace. We will all face changes again and again throughout our lifetimes. We don&’t have to live dreading the challenges that these changes bring. We can equip ourselves to become people of bravery, optimism, and hope in an ever-changing world, because we have God&’s assurance that His character and His promises will never change. Become a change warrior and embrace the courage to change.The Courage to Change also contains study questions at the end of each chapter for individual or group reflection.
