Are You Fired Up or Burned Out?
by James W. MooreWays--with God's help and God's grace and Jesus' life and teaching--that we can stay excited, exhilarated, fulfilled and "fired up" about life. The sense of boredom, futility, melancholy and tiredness that settles on the human spirit is a tragic characteristic of life in our hectic, frenzied, stressful modern world. The sad truth is that while we have done so well and have been so creative in so many dimensions of life, we have all too often missed the main thing. We have moved into outer space, but we have not really discovered and celebrated the mysteries and wonders of our own inner space. The "world weariness" that plagues us is not so much the problem as it is a symptom of a much deeper problem called emptiness. It's the emptiness that comes from loving and craving the wrong things... temporal, material things that will never satisfy. We scrape and scramble to get them, only to discover that they don't fill the vacuum. Then we feel cheated, short-changed, let down, bored, empty and bone weary. But, it doesn't have to be that way! God does not want it to be that way for us. Jesus came that we might have exciting, joyful, "abundant life!" In the pages that follow, we will take a look at some ways (of course, with God's help and God's grace and Jesus' life and teaching) that we can stay excited, exhilarated, fulfilled and "fired up" about life.
Come On Home: Healing the Homesickness of the Soul
by James W. MooreDrawing on Scripture and his own stories, Moore explores how to embrace the New Testament theme that happiness is the by-product of being in "right" relationships, of being "at home" with God and with others. More than once, Jesus reminds us that the Great Commandment is to love God and to love other people. And that is what Matthew 6:33 is all about: "But seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness and everything else will fall into place for you." This book contains a discussion guide.
Do Your Best and Trust God for the Rest
by James W. MooreIn Do Your Best and Trust God for the Rest, popular author James W. Moore talks about the idea that God doesn't expect us to be perfect. Instead, God simply asks us to be faithful, and then God will do and be what we cannot. Moore, through personal experience, shares how "God has the power to redeem! God can take our weaknesses, our foibles, our feeble efforts and redeem them and use them for good. God can take our defeats and turn them into victories!" This book contains a discussion guide.
Have You Ever Seen a Hearse Pulling a Trailer?

The Power of a Story: It Inspires, Surprises and Lifts Your Faith
by James W. MooreIn this book, popular author James W. Moore talks about the power of a story, such as those told by Jesus in the Bible. The author recalls, "I would be sitting there in the sanctuary of our church, doing what young boys do in church, drawing pictures on the back of the bulletin, working puzzles, looking constantly at Granny's watch, wishing the seconds hand would move faster, daydreaming about sports, kicking my feet in the air impatiently, counting the organ pipes... And then, the preacher would start telling a story, and I was hooked. He had my full attention. I couldn't wait to hear the story!" The fifty-or-so short chapters and stories included in this book highlight valuable lessons about faith, hope, and love, and they show us how stories have the power to move us to a deeper love for God and a deeper love for other people. A discussion guide is included.

The Power of Presence: Be a Voice in Your Child's Ear Even When You're Not with Them
by Joy Thomas MooreAs the mother of Wes Moore, whose memoir about overcoming the obstacles that face a fatherless young black man was a huge bestseller, Joy is constantly asked: How did you do it? How can you be a good parent, have a career and stay healthy when you don't have a partner to pick up the slack? How do you connect with a child when you can't always be there? Joy's answer is "presence." Specifically, seven different ways of being a force in a child's life, ensuring that they feel your influence. We can't always be physically there for our children, but the power of presence can help us to be a voice in the back of their minds that guides them through difficult times. In THE POWER OF PRESENCE, Moore explores seven pillars of presence--heart, faith, mind, courage, financial freedom, values, and connectedness--that all parents can use to positively influence their children. Using compelling stories from women who have been there and practical advice on everything from savings accounts to mindfulness, this book is a compassionate look at what it takes to raise great kids even in less than ideal circumstances.
Cambia tu Cerebro: para entrenar su cerebro para la disciplina, el coraje, la motivación y los buenos hábitos
by Justin MooreCambiar de cerebro no se trata solo de adquirir un hábito específico. Está tomando la resolución de cambiar su estilo de vida para crear la vida que desea tener. Si quieres una vida social robusta y una carrera exitosa, nunca lo conseguirás reteniendo por miedo a decir algo incorrecto. Las personas que prosperan en sus carreras son dueños de sus vidas. Han infundido confianza en sí mismos para que sus mentes los alienten. Se aseguran de que sus manos sean las que están en el volante del vehículo que es su vida. No hacen esto tratando de alcanzar el control sobre cada parte de sus vidas, sino dejando de lado lo que no tienen ningún impacto. Esto libera su tiempo y energía para que puedan concentrarse en lo que pueden controlar, que es su propio comportamiento. La vida está llena de contratiempos. Eso no es algo que podamos cambiar. Lo que podemos hacer es reaccionar ante ellos de una manera que funcione para encontrar una solución para ellos, o no. Para lograr lo primero, debes trabajar por lo que dices que quieres. Piensa en un momento en que has hecho algo con poca confianza en tu capacidad para hacerlo, y tu corazón no estaba en eso, por ejemplo, ir a una presentación cuando no te sientes bien. Ahora piense en cuándo sintió lo contrario: sentirse mejor, gustarle su aspecto y estar seguro de saber lo que se suponía que debía hacer. ¿En qué caso fue mejor tu rendimiento? Es por eso que cambiar tu cerebro está cambiando lo que puedes lograr. Si ha decidido que no puede hacer algo, terminará antes de que comience. Tal vez decidas que no sabes nada sobre una profesión, por lo que nunca podrías hacer una entrada al campo, o que nunca has sido del tipo social, por lo que no tiene sentido retomarla en este momento. No importa dónde se encuentre en su vida, nunca es demasiado tarde para cambiarlo. Tal vez no sea el pasado, pero las elecciones que haga ahora decidirán si su vida continúa de la misma

What a Great Word!: A Year of Daily Devotions
by Karen MooreWHAT A GREAT WORD! is a new kind of devotional. With Scripture and fresh insights from author Karen Moore, readers are able to focus on one word each day to strengthen their faith and see God's hand at work.These are simple words, words we use every day that we often gloss over when reading God's Word. If, for example, the word for the day is "protect," the reading from Psalm 121:6-8 declares: "The Lord will protect you from all dangers; He will guard your life." Readers will then see how the Lord protects our lives. He is the One who defends us, guards us, and keeps us safe. With one simple word, readers will move from hoping the Lord will protect us, to believing He will act on our behalf. Now that's a Great Word!"What a Great Word! is a beautiful way to spend a few minutes each day focusing on what is really important and growing into the person God created us to become." -- Jean Ziglar, wife of Zig Ziglar
