    10 Choices: A Proven Plan to Change Your Life Forever
    James MacDonald

    What if you could make these “10 Choices” and your life would be different? Not different like you’ll have mint-y fresh breath if you switch toothpaste —I’m talking radically different.

    What if just one of these choices would change your relationships and for the rest of your life, instead of hurt and bitter memories, you’d experience the freedom of forgiveness? What if your first response to trials was always faith? What if you knew for a fact that your life was designed for great purpose and impact? Change like that.

    That’s the kind of transformation God has proven He can do in our lives when we follow His prescription on life. And that’s what the book "10 Choices" is all about. Each of the 10 Choices can turn your life around. For real.

    Lord, Change My Attitude
    James MacDonald

    It's not about your actions.  It's not about your circumstance.  It's not about your relationships.  It's not even about your life's calling.  It's all about...your attitude!

    "You can stop the flow of negativity that causes happiness to hemorrhage, and you can start the flow of good attitudes that cause abundant joy to flourish."  Attitudes are patterns of thinking that take years to form.  While we can't change our attitudes overnight, we can recognize wrong attitudes and begin working on right attitudes to take their place.

How do you reach those who do not have a churched background, or are openly hostile to the good news of Jesus Christ? Would you miss church to go fishing with your colleague at work? What should or would you do when golfing with three non-believing friends, and they want to play for 'prize money'?Joseph Stowell's style is biblical and insightful, but always within reach of today's reader.

    The Life God Blesses
    Jim Cymbala

    Pastor Jim Cymbala points out that God is searching the earth for men and women to bless."The eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him" (2 Chronicles 16:9). God is not looking for intelligence, social status, skills, or influence.Instead, he is searching for men and women whose hearts can be shaped according to his purposes. The Life God Blesses unlocks the keys to experiencing God's blessing by exploring the characteristics of this special kind of heart - a humble heart, a listening heart, a merciful heart. Jim Cymbala believes that we can let God shape us so that we can become the fulfillment of his search. As we respond to God's grace, we will become people who are uniquely blessed. This blessing will inevitably spill over into our marriages, our children's lives, our work, and our world. The Scriptures tell us that David was a man after God's own heart.

    What made him so special to the Lord? Through far from perfect, something about David's heart enabled the Lord to bless him and use him to bring blessings to generations of people after him. Drawing from the lives of other Old Testament kings, such as Amaziah, Uzziah, Josiah, and from Hannah, the mother of the prophet Samuel, Jim Cymbala helps readers understand how God's blessings work.With powerful stories from his own life and from others at The Brooklyn Tabernacle, he shows what it means to live a life that is truly blessed by God.

    Are You Fit for Life?
    Jack Graham

    In his joyful letter to the Philippians, Paul writes the well-known words, "To live is Christ." In Are You Fit for Life? ,pastor Jack Graham examines this life in Christ. He argues that God calls believers to be both spiritually and physically fit---to honorChrist in one's body as well as in one's soul.

    However, unlike popular diets and physical fitness programs, the Christian life is not a self-improvement plan or a do-it-yourself project. It is simply letting God be God, letting Christ take control of your life, and allowing him to do his perfecting work in you. With an anecdotal,down-to-earth style, Jack Graham takes you through Philippians,presenting principles for living a spiritually and physically fit life.

    Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence
    Crawford Loritts

    Ask yourself this question: What type of character qualifies the people God chooses to use? The question itself assumes an atypical answer, simply because it leaves out so much. To ask only about one’s character seems inadequate when defining a leader. We surely need to ask about character, but also about personality, communication skills, IQ, education, previous experience, and more . . . don’t we? Crawford Loritts disagrees. He answers the question with four simple words:

    Brokenness. Communion. Servanthood. Obedience.

    These four traits form the framework for Leadership as an Identity. By examining each trait, Loritts undermines many pervasive assumptions about leadership that are unbiblical. According to Loritts, God doesn’t look for leaders like the world does. He looks for disciples, and ironically, as these disciples follow Him, they will lead.

    A Passionate Commitment

The study guide is located at the back of the book for each chapter. There are five questions for each chapter and a number of questions within each question.

    Lord Change My Attitude (Before It's Too Late)
    James MacDonald, 11 messages in the series

    Would you be surprised to know that the joy and fruitfulness that God wants to flow into your life doesn't come by way of your circumstances or your relationships, or even your life's calling? It's all about your attitude-your patterns of thinking formed over time about how you look at life.

    Although you can't change your attitudes in a few minutes, you can admit the wrong ones and begin working on the right ones. The fact is most people don't want to change until they know for sure that "their thing" isn't working.

    Are you open to considering what the Lord has to say about your attitudes? Are you willing to go after this change with urgency? Dr. James MacDonald brings God's Word to bear on your most important daily choice.
    "Today, if you would hear [God's] voice, do not harden your hearts" (Psalm 95:7-8).

    James MacDonald, 6 messages in the series

    “Come, Lord.”

    Life has been dry long enough. Come and drink deeply from the fountain of God’s mercy. These six messages from Dr. James MacDonald will take you to the place where God can bring a downpour. Will you come?
