New Releases by Greg Laurie

Why is it that some people who make a commitment to Christ seem to grow leaps and bounds, while others who make the same commitment never seem to make any lasting changes in their lives? Why is it that Christianity seems to work for some, but not others? If you want to experience success as a Christian, you can, says Greg Laurie. Using examples and principles from Scripture, he will guide you through five keys to spiritual success that you need to know- and follow- if you want to be successful spiritually. So start today with a renewed commitment toward success-spiritual success, that is. With God''s help and a little determination, you can live the Christian life as it was meant to be lived: a life full of meaning and purpose.

We can all dread the days ahead, but there is a better way! Here''s how and why you can approach your future with confidence, no matter what the present circumstances.

All of us want to live life to its fullest. Medical science seeks to add years to our lives, but only Jesus can add life to our years. This is why the Gospel of John was written: "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." (John 20:31) This Gospel was written so that we might believe - and then grow in our faith. The word used in John 20:31 for "believing" speaks of a continual action. So John was saying that the more we believe, the more life we will experience. Join pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie in his first Bible commentary on a journey to the first century as he explores selected passages from John 1-5. As you follow the early days of Jesus'' earthly ministy and listen in on His conversations with seeking, hurting, and lonely people, you can find hope and encouragement as you discover God''s great love for humanity - and for you.

Have you ever felt as though God has forgotten you? That He doesn''t care what you''re going through? Have youever needed a second chance? Have you asked, "Why me?" do you want to make your life count for something? Are you looking for meaning and purpose? You''re not alone. For centuries, people have asked these questions and experienced these emotions. And in Jesus'' day, it was no different. In the second of his series from the Gospel of John, pastor and author Greg Laurie guides us through key events in the life and ministry of Jesus, offering us a closer look into the lives of the people He touched - and how He is still reaching out to us today.
