New Releases by Kyle Idleman

Are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In Every Thought Captive, you will explore a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. In Romans 12:2, we read these words: "Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Just like molten glass, our lives are constantly being shaped and molded by the thoughts we think. Join pastor and bestselling author Kyle Idleman for a five-session journey where you will learn to actively and intentionally challenge your thoughts. This isn''t a study on the power of positive thinking—or how you have the power to change your life—but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word.

Bestselling author Kyle Idleman looks at four key metaphors from Jesus'' teachings and reveals how they can impact our daily lives and change the way we think and act.

Jesus simplifies our need down to one word: connection. If you feel like everything is spinning out of control amid the increasing disconnection and isolation of our daily lives, Jesus'' words in John 15:5 on how to live will change your life. On the night before he was arrested, he told his followers, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can''t do anything." From the bestselling author of Not a Fan comes a timely study on how to put connection before production and Christ''s way before our own. In this 5-session video Bible study (video streaming included), Kyle Idleman reveals how we can stay connected to the Vine and live a genuinely fruitful life through him. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader''s guide.

Equips you to discover authentic connection to God and others so that you can be free to live the life you long for. When you are worn-out, when you feel discouraged, when you think you don''t have what it takes, what is the one thing that Jesus wants you to never forget? In some of his final words to his closest friends, Jesus didn''t suggest a five-year plan for success or a checklist of things to do. Instead, he offered a metaphor about what the good life really looks like: I am the vine. You are the branches. Abide in me. In other words, No matter what happens next, the most important thing is to stay connected to me. In When Your Way Isn''t Working, pastor and bestselling author of Not a Fan Kyle Idleman offers a unique exploration of John 15 for all of us who are going through the motions and feel frustrated. Idleman reminds us that it''s connection, not production, that leads to a fruitful life--relationships, not circumstances, that bring joy. He offers his distinctive, biblical perspective on how to: Find greater rest, depth, and connection in your life Embrace freedom from the pressures of performance and production Recognize what you can''t do makes room for what God can do Step out of isolation even when it feels scary Discover the top distractions that keep you from connecting to God--and how to counter them In the end, the fruit of your life won''t have to do with what you accomplished but with whom you stayed connected. Because no matter what happens next in this uncertain world, what matters most, lasts the longest, and brings the greatest joy is staying connected to the God who never leaves you.

WHERE DO YOU PUT YOUR TRUST? We all believe in something. We all put our faith in what we trust will sustain us and help us move ahead. For some of us, that might be a relationship or a job. For others, it could be an education, a financial portfolio, or a political platform. But the disciple John, in his Gospel, invites us to put our belief in something much more secure. As he states, “These things [in my Gospel] are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). In this six-session video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman reveals that John didn’t write his Gospel just to tell us about a profound teacher or a powerful miracle worker. Rather, his purpose was to tell us about the very Son of God who came to this earth so that we “may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). John challenges us to trust in Christ—and to demonstrate our faith in him through the way we live and love others. The 40 Days Through the Book series helps you actively engage with God’s Word. Each study encourages you to read through a book of the Bible at least once during the course of the study. As you do, you will gain an understanding of the background and culture of the book, insights into key passages that you might have overlooked before, and clear takeaways that you can apply today to your life.

Jesus calls us not to cheer for him but to chase after him. Based on his bestseller Not a Fan, author and pastor Kyle Idleman reveals that Jesus calls us not to cheer for him but to chase after him. It is becoming a completely committed follower of Jesus. With a frankness that many readers are not likely to hear in church or Sunday school class, Kyle offers an invitation to take an honest look at one’s relationship with Jesus. His call to follow may seem radical. It is more about repentance than forgiveness, more about surrender than salvation, more about brokenness than happiness, and more about death than about life. It’s not a comfortable and reassuring path. It’s certainly not about just being a fan of Jesus, sitting on the sidelines cheering for his cause. It’s about being a true follower where a person lives into their new identity in Christ.

The parent with the wayward child. The couple whose marriage is in jeopardy. The man who is out of work. The woman stuck in crushing debt. The patient with a bad diagnosis. The student who can''t get a fair shake. People hanging by a thread, losing faith and short on strength. What do they all need to hear? Don''t give up. Our lives are minefields of challenges that take their toll on our courage, our conviction, and even our faith. But God whispers to the weary, Don''t give up. Drawing from inspiring biblical stories and first-person testimonies of perseverance, bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman encourages readers to cast their concerns on God, trust in his love and timing, pray for patience and strength, and seek out support in the family of God.

El reconocido autor y pastor Kyle Idleman quiere que todos experimenten la gracia de Dios. A través del poderoso medio de la historia, Grace Is Greater lleva a los lectores más allá de sus complejos hacia una comprensión de la gracia que es más grande que nuestros errores, nuestros fracasos, nuestro deseo de venganza y nuestras situaciones aparentemente imposibles. Bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman wants everyone to experience the grace of God. Through the powerful medium of story, Grace Is Greater leads readers past their hang-ups toward an understanding of grace that is bigger than our mistakes, our failures, our desire for revenge, and our seemingly impossible situations.

"Gebt acht, dass niemand hinter der Gnade Gottes zurückbleibt" (Hebräer 12,15). Das steht auf dem Zettel, den der Pastor Kyle Idleman auf einer Lesereise zu "Not a Fan." erhält. Und Jahre nach seinem erfolgreichen Buch macht er sich erneut auf die Reise - Gottes große Gnade zu erforschen. Humorvoll und aufrichtig erzählt er aus seinem eigenen Leben, wie die Gnade darin lebendig wurde und welche Anstöße ihn bei seiner persönlichen Nachfolge bereichert haben. Dabei taucht er tief in die ganz eigene Mathematik des Evangeliums ein und inspiriert zu Lösungswegen in einer Gleichung, in der die Gnade immer größer ist.

What better way to celebrate Easter than to receive forgiveness and experience God''s grace in your life? We all have them. Burdens of guilt and shame we carry around. We''re weighed down, constantly reminded of where we''ve fallen short. But the truth is we''re carrying around something that isn''t ours. Our sins and shortcomings belong to Jesus. He carried them to the cross. He paid our debt. And he wanted to make sure we knew it. In this book you''ll discover the seven last sayings of Christ from the cross--both what he said and what his words mean for your life today. So get ready to lay your burdens down at the foot of the cross and receive God''s unsurpassable grace.

The writer of the letter to the Hebrews said, "See to it that no one misses the grace of God." Over the centuries much ink has been spilled on the subject of grace. Yet perhaps nothing is as hard to explain as God''s grace. It doesn''t make sense. It''s not fair. It can''t possibly cover over what I''ve done. The best way--perhaps the only real way--to understand it is to experience it. But too often in our churches we''re not getting grace across and grace is not experienced. Bestselling author and pastor Kyle Idleman wants everyone to experience the grace of God. Through the powerful medium of story, Grace Is Greater leads readers past their hang-ups toward an understanding of grace that is bigger than our mistakes, our failures, our desire for revenge, and our seemingly impossible situations. No sin is so great, no bitterness so deep that God''s grace cannot transform the heart and rewrite the story. Perfect for individuals and also for small groups and church-wide studies, Grace Is Greater will help readers truly grasp God''s grace, even if the Christians around them have failed to live it.

In this story-driven little book, readers discover how God''s grace is more forgiving than their guilt, more beautiful than their brokenness, and more redemptive than their regrets.

En Dioses en guerra, Kyle Idleman, autor del libro best seller No soy fan, ayuda a todos los creyentes a reconocer que hay falsos dioses que luchan dentro de cada uno de nosotros, y se disputan el lugar de la gloria y el control en nuestra vida. Lo que nos impide seguir verdaderamente a Jesús es que nuestro corazón anda tras algo o alguien distinto. Aunque tal vez eso que buscamos no sea como las “imágenes talladas” del pasado, en realidad son los ídolos de la vida moderna. Detrás del pecado con el que estás luchando, el desaliento al que te enfrentas y la falta de propósito con la que estás viviendo, hay un dios falso que está ganando la guerra por el control de tu corazón.Según Idleman, la idolatría no es un problema; es el problema.A base de hacer unas profundas preguntas, Idleman revela cuáles dioses falsos está permitiendo cada uno de nosotros que ocupen el trono de nuestra vida. ¿Para qué te sacrificas? ¿Qué te hace enojar? ¿Qué te causa preocupación? ¿De quién anhelas recibir el aplauso? Todos estamos programados para la adoración, pero con frecuencia terminamos valorando y honrando a los ídolos del dinero, el sexo, la comida, el romance, el éxito y muchos otros, que nos alejan de la relación íntima con Dios que queremos tener.Dioses en guerra, utilizando los testimonios reales, poderosos y sinceros de aquellos que han tenido que luchar en cada uno de estos aspectos, ilustra un claro camino para alejarnos del quebrantamiento de corazón de nuestra idolatría del siglo 21, para volver al corazón de Dios, capacitándonos para ser realmente unos seguidores de Jesús totalmente consagrados.
