Am I getting parenting right? Most parents, at any and every stage, find themselves asking this question. Whether you''re sleep deprived with a colicky newborn or navigating the emotional roller coaster of a teenager, parenting has its ups and downs, its confusion and clarity, its big blowups and small victories. And no matter our family makeup or our children''s personalities, many of us experience anxiety over our children''s futures and often fear making a mistake. Andy and Sandra Stanley are no strangers to this feeling. As parents of three grown children and cofounders of North Point Ministries, they are seasoned experts on faith and parenting.

Start here and feel confident about raising a healthy and happy family.

Is it possible to disagree politically and love unconditionally? The reaction of evangelicals to political and cultural shifts in recent years revealed what they value most. Lurking beneath our Bible-laced rhetoric, faith claims, books, and sermons is a relentless drive to WIN! But the church is not here to win. By every human measure, our Savior lost. On purpose. With a purpose. And we are his body. We are not in it to win anything. We are in it for something else entirely. That something else is what this book is about. You''ll discover: How to take a stand the right way. You''ll learn how to make your case with a posture of humility and understanding, rather than being fueled by the fear of losing something. How to view politics through the lens of faith. Learn curiously, listen intentionally, and love unconditionally. How the life of Jesus and his teaching applies to modern-day challenges in a fresh way. The "biblical" stand may not be what we''ve been taught. Jesus never asked his followers to agree on everything. But he did call his followers to obey a new command: to love others in the same way he has loved us. Instead of asserting our rights or fighting for power, we need to begin asking ourselves: what does love require of me?

Aprecieri pentru aceasta carte „Acelasi Andy, remarcabil – accesibil tuturor celor care doresc sa se schimbe, insa suficient de profund cat sa te provoace si pe tine, care crezi ca ai toate raspunsurile.“ —Max Lucado, pastor si autor al unor carti bestseller din lista New York Times „Cand eram copii, eram avertizati sa nu ne strambam, ca nu cumva sa ramanem pentru totdeauna cu acea expresie pe fetele noastre. In cartea de fata, Andy Stanley ne avertizeaza cu privire la ceva mult mai important decat sa nu scoti limba la cineva sau sa nu te incrunti. In paginile ei vei descoperi ca timpul nu schimba nimic — el nu face decat sa te impinga sa devii si mai mult asa cum esti acum. Persoana ta din viitor nu este decat o versiune exagerata a persoanei care esti in prezent. In cele din urma, viata pe care o vei avea este viata pe care ti-o faci. Acum este momentul sa schimbi alegerile pe care le faci cu unele care sa iti asigure un viitor fara regrete. Iar autorul iti arata cum poti sa faci lucrul acesta.“ —Levi Lusko, pastor la French Life Church si autor „Mi se pare ca o decizie, cu cat este mai importanta, cu atat mai greu ne este s-o luam. In mesajul lui extrem de util, Andy ne ofera indrumarea de care avem nevoie si ne provoaca sa raspundem intrebarilor care ne vor conduce la alegeri ce ne pot imbunatati semnificativ viata. Nu stiu cum esti tu, dar viata mea este destul de complicata si fara confuzia pe care o aduce nesiguranta sau, mai rau, fara chinul regretelor. Aceasta carte este nu doar un ghid util in luarea unor decizii mai bune — este un manual pentru viata, care cu siguranta va avea un impact pozitiv in viata ta.“ —Lysa Terkeurst, autoare a unor carti bestseller de pe listele New York Times si presedinte a Proverbs 31 Ministries „Andy este o voce in care am incredere de multa vreme. Unul dintre nenumaratele lucruri care-mi plac la el este acela ca nu dilueaza adevarul, ci spune lucrurilor pe nume, cu bunatate si cu multa chibzuinta. Este cartea potrivita la momentul potrivit. Avem de luat decizii importante, iar aceasta carte ne va ajuta sa ne punem intrebarile corecte.“ —Bob Goff, sotul Mariei, autor al unor carti bestseller din listele New York Times, printre care Dragostea actioneaza si Toti, intotdeauna. „Andy Stanley loveste din nou! Aceasta carte provocatoare, practica si antrenanta te va ajuta sa iei decizii mai bune si sa traiesti viata pe care o doresti cu adevarat. Daca esti in cautarea unei carti care musteste de intelepciune, de invataturi profunde si care este caracterizata de umorul lui Andy Stanley, atunci nu mai cauta in alta parte — aceasta este cartea pe care trebuie s-o citesti! Nu stiu cum as putea s-o recomand suficient de mult!“ —Ian Morgan Cron, autor, The Road Back to You

TALVEZ, VOCE TENHA SONHADO EM SEMEAR CAMPOS FERTEIS DE GENEROSIDADE. MAS A REALIDADE LHE ENSINOU A SER MAIS CAUTELOSO. E SE EU DER DEMAIS? E SE NÃO SOBRAR O SUFICIENTE PARA MIM? E SE... Como cristãos, sabemos que devemos ser financeiramente generosos; todavia, sob as pressões crescentes de honrar as despesas de cada mês, o medo muitas vezes fica no caminho da generosidade. E, quando permitimos que isso aconteça, esse medo tem o potencial de roubar nossa intimidade com Deus. Campos dourados mudará a maneira como você pensa sobre dinheiro e oferta. Quando realmente compreendemos o poder e a presença de Deus, não podemos deixar de confiar nele para atender às nossas necessidades. Não faz sentido confiar que o Deus do universo cuidará bem de suas finanças? Não é hora de deixar de lado a preocupação e começar a viver em confiança? Stanley nos revela que aqueles que semeiam generosamente colhem generosamente, e recebem um retorno fértil: campos dourados — tanto nesta vida quanto na eternidade. ANDY STANLEY é o pastor sênior da Igreja North Point, fundador da North Point Ministries, cofundador da GoodStuf Student Conferences e doutor em Divindade pelo Seminário Teológico Dallas. É autor de vários livros, incluindo Visionar, O líder da próxima geração e Como ser rico; publicados por Editora Vida. Andy e sua esposa, Sandra, têm dois filhos e uma filha.

In this video Bible study, bestselling author Andy Stanley explores the details behind the remarkable story of Jesus'' birth and explains why Christmas is so important for us today. He also looks at the lives of several key people in the Gospels who found their way into the story of Jesus'' crucifixion and resurrection.

Rediscover the improbable story of Christmas. Four thousand years ago, God promised he would do something through the bloodline of Abraham. Two thousand years later, Jesus was born. And two thousand years after that, we’re still talking about it. Why? The story of Jesus’ birth was not what anyone expected: a baby . . . born in the armpit of the Mediterranean . . . to save us from sins that no one thought we needed saving from. This Christmas season, join Andy Stanley as he unpacks why the improbability of the Christmas story is what makes it so believable. No one could have or would have made it up. The Who Needs Christmas Study Guide includes session overviews, video teaching notes, discussion questions, personal reflection material, and a leader’s guide. Sessions include: The Story Behind the Story The Author of Life The Message of Christmas Ready or Not . . . He Is Coming Designed for use with the Who Needs Christmas / Why Easter Matters Video Study (9780310121121), sold separately. Streaming video also available.

Have you ever been at odds with God? Have you resisted, defied, or tried to bargain your way out of what you thought God wanted? You aren’t alone. Scripture documents similar stories. In this Easter Study Andy Stanley looks at some of the people whose lives intersected with Jesus in the weeks leading to his crucifixion. Each of them had an agenda that put them at odds with God and Jesus. As you’ll see, there’s a little bit of them in all of us. The Why Easter Matters Study Guide includes session overviews, video teaching notes, discussion questions, personal reflection material, and a leader’s guide. Sessions include: The High Cost of Following Christ The Risk of Surrendering to God The God Who Can Be Trusted The Foundation of Our Faith Designed for use with the Who Needs Christmas / Why Easter Matters Video Study (9780310121121), sold separately. Streaming video also available.

A existat odata o versiune a credintei noastre care a fost practic... irezistibila Dar asta a fost atunci. Astazi predicam, predam, scriem si comunicam ca si cum nimic nu s-a schimbat, desi este clar ca in zilele noastre crestinismul a devenit atat de rezistibil. Este timpul sa ne oprim din majoritatea lucrurilor pe care le facem si sa ne gandim la credinta modelata de fratii si surorile noastre din primul secol, care nu aveau un statut si a caror credinta, omeneste vorbind, avea mici sanse de supravietuire. Ce stiau ei si noi nu stim? Ce a facut credinta lor sa fie atat de atractiva, atat de irezistibila? Pune-ti centura de siguranta... esti pe cale sa afli raspunsul. Dar si mai important, Andy Stanley te invita sa redescoperi credinta care, in ciuda sanselor minime, a initiat un lant de evenimente care a rezultat in cea mai semnificativa si in cea mai vasta transformare pe care lumea a cunoscut-o vreodata. O versiune pe care trebuie s-o imbratisam daca vrem sa fim sare si lumina intr-o lume tot mai lipsita de gust si tot mai intunecata. Aprecieri pentru aceasta carte Aceasta carte te va zdruncina, te va scoate din zona ta de confort si va trezi in tine o credinta de nestramutat, care nu va putea fi ignorata. — Craig Groeschel, pastor la Life.Church si autor al cartii Directie divina Despre Autor Andy Stanley este unul dintre cei mai apreciati lideri si pastori nu doar in SUA, ci la nivel mondial.

Once upon a time there existed a version of our faith worth living and dying for, something the world found irresistible. Men and women pursued it at the risk of persecution, job loss, and eviction from their homes, temples, and society. What if we actually followed their lead? Perhaps it would change how we read the Bible? Perhaps it would help us understand our own faith and what we believe? Perhaps we would change the world again? In this six-session video study, pastor and author Andy Stanley shows how Jesus'' arrival signaled that the Old Testament was fulfilled and its laws reduced to a single verb--love--to be applied to God, neighbor, and enemy. So, what is required if we want to follow Jesus''s example and radically love the people around us? We almost always know the answer. The hard part is actually doing what love requires. Rather than working harder to make Christianity more interesting, we need to recover what once made faith in Jesus irresistible to the world. Sessions include: Simply Resistible Brand New Agreement The Bible According to Jesus The Irresistible Ethic What Love Requires of Me A New Approach This kit contains one hardcover book, one study guide, and one DVD.

Author and pastor Andy Stanley explains what made the earliest Christian movement so compelling and resilient...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn''t it the same with Christianity today? In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/video streaming not included), Pastor Andy answers questions like: What did first-century Christians know that we don''t—about God''s Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we''re not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today''s culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Andy is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future, and he believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. It''s time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It''s time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

In this in this five-session small group Bible study, Andy Stanley challenges us to stop flirting with disaster and establish personal guardrails.

Ever wonder what it would be like to have guardrails in other areas of your life—areas where culture baits you to the edge of disaster and then chastises you when you step across the line? Your friendships. Your finances. Your marriage. Maybe your greatest regret could have been avoided if you had established guardrails. In this five-session video-based small group Bible study (video sold separately), Andy Stanley challenges us to stop flirting with disaster and establish some personal guardrails. Sessions include: Direct and Protect Proximity Forever Yours Money Matters The Heart of the Matter Designed for use with the Guardrails Video Study (9780310095910), sold separately.

Every Sunday people walk onto your church campus and decide if they will return the following week before the preacher even opens his mouth. Many of those people don''t know what to make of Jesus. They''re hesitant to be in a church. They''re not sure they belong. But over and over in the pages of the gospels, we see something extraordinary. People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus. Shouldn''t that be true of his church as well? In Going Deep & Wide, Andy Stanley lays out a blueprint for becoming that kind of church. Going Deep & Wide offers practical steps to help church leaders create irresistible environments, define ministry goals, and communicate more effectively with unbelievers. Each section includes discussion materials that walk you more deeply into the content of Deep & Wide and invites conversations about how to apply what you''ve learned.

Everybody wants to be happy. Everybody is on a happiness quest. For many, happiness is measured in moments. Experiences. It''s elusive. Unsustainable. What about you? What makes you happy? Something comes to mind for each of us. In this six-session video Bible study, pastor Andy Stanley examines the ways in which we tend to define happiness and explains how that definition influences the way we pursue it. He reveals that happiness is about who, not what, and that happy people are at peace with God, with others, and with themselves. He also shows how sin undermines peace because it separates us from God, others, and ourselves by substituting pleasure for fulfillment, things for people, images for intimacy, and self-expression for self-control. We are often tempted to believe that happiness comes from acquiring things, but happiness is actually an outcome of what we sow in our lives. We can’t acquire, consume, or exercise our way to happiness, but we may be able to serve and volunteer our way there. In the end, we find that if we live as if it’s all about us, we will never be happy. Sessions include: Nothing Plan for It Peace with God Happy Money Shoes You’re Not Enough Designed for use with the What Makes You Happy DVD (sold separately).

In this four-session video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Andy Stanley takes a closer look at one of the unique things Christians believe: God became one of us. Why in the world would God do that? Why would God leave the comfort and recognition of heaven to live on this ball of dirt in a time before morphine and indoor plumbing when the best of conditions barely paralleled the worst of modern-day conditions? Why? We think we know why He died. But what compelled him to live as one of us?
