Book excerpt: The Essential Guide for Beating Temptation Falling for temptation isn’t inevitable. We don’t have to lose the fight. In fact, we can win if we understand the root of the problem and what Christians have done from the beginning to beat it. Our Favorite Sins shines a much-needed light in our lives’ dark corners and reveals the time-tested methods for getting victory over sin. Are you tyrannized by your own desires? If you are breathing, your answer is probably yes. The question is: What are you going to do about it? With more than thirty years of pastoral experience, Todd D. Hunter knows that most people—himself included—struggle every day with temptation. All too often, we fail and fall, and some of us are at our wit’s end, utterly defeated. What do we do to get a grip on the sin in our life and live like God wants? There’s good news: despite all our failures and shameful “moments after,” there really is a way out, a way forward, and a way that draws us closer to the life that God desires for us. In Our Favorite Sins, Hunter cracks open the problem of temptation and points to practical, biblically based, time-tested solutions. First revealing the role played by our disordered desires, Hunter shows how different temptations trip us up and how we can resist and overcome them, even if we’ve fallen prey to them for decades. Victory starts with reordering our desires, and the church has given us the tools for the job. Hunter shows us how to use them and start beating the temptations that so often beat us. Informed by exclusive research from the Barna Group, Our Favorite Sins offers a view that works for any believer wherever they are and no matter how big the battle they’re fighting.

Book excerpt: Much of my experience in ministry has come as result of a great deal of perseverance and after many trials and test at the hand of God. Perhaps the most valuable lesson I have learned is that "the trying of our faith worketh patience," and that a great deal of the hurt that believers experience in ministry is for the testing of their faithfulness. This book will focus on the birthing of the church and if after having read it you conclude that the church is a place where you can draw closer to God, strengthen your personal relationship with Him, add to your character, and increase your integrity this book will have served one of its purpose. The Church builds strong communities, families, cities, and ultimately strong nation. The Church enhances visionary purpose and spiritual development. The Church has been the most prevalent institution in the lives of Black and Brown communities since the ending of the institution a slavery. It has given rise to political, economic, social, and educational advancements; it gave rise to preachers as the voice of the community. My involvement in the church gave me the impetuous to go to college, become a writer and motivation speaker. It increased my desire to become a caring and compassionate person and like the pastor of this church who will be there for you and your visionary purpose; you can stand on its promises.

Book excerpt: Many churches have done a good job of letting certain people know they don't belong. Sometimes it's what they think or believe, or what they aren't sure they believe. Other times it's nothing more than who they are. This book is for people who have felt unwelcome in church but can't shake the need for spiritual nourishment, for people who seek to worship without having to check their minds at the door. You may still not feel welcome in every church, but a great many churches really do welcome you and are prepared to support you and strengthen you on your journey. Maybe it's time to reclaim your spiritual heritage and take up the welcome that many churches have to offer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many are longing for historical connectedness and for theology that is """"not tied to the whims of contemporary culture, but to apostolic-era understandings of Christian faith and practice."""" They also yearn for rhythms and routines that build spiritual health. Still others are responding to a call to participate in worship rather than merely sitting back and looking at a stage. Liturgy offers all of this and more.
