NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • The author of Relationship Goals and Crazy Faith proves that no matter how badly you’ve messed up, no matter what hardship or pain you’ve experienced, nothing can destroy the priceless, God-given value of your life. Your Damage Does Not Define You Underneath our designer clothes, makeup, jewelry, and photo filters are cracks left by abuse, mistakes, rejection, and disappointment. Bestselling author and pastor Michael Todd reveals his own damage: the hits he’s experienced from trauma, dumb choices, and lingering struggles passed down through generations. Using candid stories, engaging illustrations, and biblical wisdom, he encourages readers to be H.O.T.—humble, open, and transparent—and face the pain of past hits to move toward the triumphant future God has for them. Damaged but Not Destroyed will give you tools to identify the impact of your damage, see yourself the way God sees you, and realize that healing is all about progression, not perfection. No matter how badly you’ve messed up, and no matter the pain you’ve experienced, nothing can destroy the God-given value of your life. It’s time to turn your damage into destiny! You may be damaged, but you are not destroyed. The Value Is Still in You

Set during the reign of King George III, The Girl and The Flowers is a poignant tale of love, loss, and resilience. The story follows young Mary, who lives in a coastal village with her family. Her grandfather, Captain William Hawthorne, is a seasoned mariner and captain of a grand merchant ship. Before departing on a perilous voyage, he entrusts Mary with two boxes of rare flower bulbs from distant lands, asking her to care for them in his absence. As Mary plants the bulbs, the responsibility quickly becomes overwhelming. Her inexperience and the repetitive nature of the task lead to neglect, and the flowers begin to wilt. Then, devastating news arrives: Captain Hawthorne''s ship has sunk, with no survivors. Heartbroken, Mary blames the flowers for her grandfather''s death and, in a moment of anguish, smashes several pots. But soon, she gathers herself and tends to the remaining plants with renewed dedication, determined to honour his memory. Later, a mysterious message leaves her parents both bewildered and hopeful. On Mary''s birthday, a grand carriage arrives, revealing a miraculous surprise: Captain Hawthorne is alive, accompanied by none other than King George III, who had sent him on a secret mission. The reunion is marked by the unexpected blooming of the flowers, symbolising hope and renewal. The story concludes with Mary as a successful shipowner, her and her grandfather''s graves adorned with the same flowers that once connected them across the seas and years.

Will the team learn to trust and rely on each other before it''s too late? They aim to do more than just survive. But do they have what it takes to surpass the Engineer''s toughest expectations?

El autor bestseller del New York Times de Metas de pareja y Fe loca demuestra que, sin importar lo mucho que te hayas equivocado, sin importar las dificultades ni el dolor que hayas experimentado, nada puede destruir el inestimable valor que Dios le dio a tu vida. A través de un conocimiento capaz de modificar tu perspectiva, adquirido tras superar sus propios retos significativos, el pastor Michael Todd ofrece el apoyo que necesitas para identificar el daño que has experimentado, además de herramientas prácticas para recibir la sanación de Dios. Con una narrativa transparente y dinámica, el pastor Mike nos habla de los golpes que ha recibido en la vida: traumas sexuales, decisiones tontas, luchas generacionales y permitir que sus mecanismos de supervivencia determinaran sus elecciones. Con una sabiduría obtenida a partir de mucho esfuerzo y una mirada inspiracional a la historia bíblica del Rey David y Mefiboset, el pastor Mike te ayudará a superar la mentira de que los errores cometidos y el dolor que has experimentado te volvieron indigno del amor y el llamado de Dios. Dañado, pero no destruido te da herramientas efectivas para: * Señalar el impacto que ha tenido el daño en tu vida. * Llevar tu dolor ante la presencia de Dios. * Aprender a verte a ti mismo como Dios te ve. * Darte cuenta de que sanar se trata de progresión, no perfección. * Experimentar cómo funciona en tu vida Su poderosa sanación. * Aprenderás cómo despegarte de tu pasado, entrar en el audaz futuro que Dios tiene planeado para ti y confiar, hasta lo más hondo de ti mismo, en que fuiste hecho con amor y con un propósito por el creador del universo.

Kein Plan überlebt den Kontakt mit dem Feind. Vor allem, wenn der Feind Fähigkeiten hat, von denen du nichts wusstest. T''Chezz treibt den Krieg voran und entfesselt einen ungebundenen Dämon auf San Diego, während Katie / Pandora und Calvin zufällig in der Stadt sind. Um Calvin zu retten, muss Katie jedoch mehr Fähigkeiten preisgeben, über die Korbin bis jetzt noch nicht Bescheid weiß. Da die Geheimwaffen der Dämonenjäger seine Pläne durchkreuzen, findet T''Chezz heraus, dass er nicht der Einzige ist, der neue Fähigkeiten hat. Also beschließt er, der Schmerzreiz zu verstärken. Katie und Pandora müssen lernen, zusammenzuarbeiten ... und gleichzeitig dafür sorgen, dass Korbin glaubt, dass Katie nicht von einer Dämonin mit jahrhundertelanger Erfahrung an der Nase herumgeführt wird. Begleite Katie und Pandora, während T''Chezz zu verstehen beginnt, dass die Menschen auf der Erde ihn nicht wollen.

When Earth fell, our world was left in the claws of monstrous alien invaders. Among those who remain is a young man who has the beginnings of someone who can help. His journey begins not on the scorched battlegrounds of Earth but in the distant reaches of space, on a station known as Heaven''s Peak. Heaven''s Peak isn''t merely a sanctuary-it''s a forge. There, the boy will be transformed, his frail human body enhanced by alien technology into a weapon capable of standing against the brutal creatures dominating Earth. Will this young warrior survive, grow stronger, and ultimately spearhead humanity''s fightback? Or will the rigorous training kill him before he has the chance to face the real enemy?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Relationship Goals . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith—one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals His promises. In Crazy Faith, Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to • believe for the impossible • choose hope over fear • be alert to the voice of God • cope with loss and doubt • develop a deeper level of trust in God • speak faith-filled declarations • inspire crazy faith in others God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen. He’s looking for somebody to believe they will happen. In fact, He has so much He wants to do through you. The question is, Are you crazy enough to believe it?

Aber um die Kontrolle zu behalten, muss sie einen Waffenstillstand mit Pandora schließen, die ihre Geduld ständig auf die Probe stellt. Dieses Mal hilft Katies Wunsch, anderen zu helfen, ihr dabei, einen wertvollen Aktivposten zu finden. Ein junger Schmied, dessen Familie vielleicht das Geheimnis von Waffen besitzt, die den Krieg verändern können. Das einzige Problem? Die Regierung könnte hinter ihrem Fund her sein, wenn sie davon erfährt. Bevor Katie viel tun kann, wird das Team über eine geplante Großoperation im Westen der Vereinigten Staaten informiert. Ein Einfall, über den sogar Pandora gestresst ist. Begleite Katie und Pandora, wenn die Hölle erfährt, was sie entfesselt hat.

Katie Maddison wollte nie lernen, wie man einem Dämon in den Arsch tritt. Sie wollte nur einem Kommilitonen bei seinen Chemie-Hausaufgaben helfen. Sie hat anderen Menschen einfach zu sehr vertraut. Jetzt wird sie zur neuen Waffe in einem Krieg, von dessen Existenz sie nichts ahnte, mit Kriegern, die sowohl Waffen als auch übernatürliche Fähigkeiten besitzen. Dämonenjäger, Dämonenkämpfer ... Auch bekannt als Die Verdammten. Menschen, die von Dämonen besessen sind, aber noch die Kontrolle über ihren Körper haben. Einer der mächtigsten Dämonen der Hölle kann seine Schwester nicht besiegen, also will er sie opfern und töten lassen. Das einzige Problem? Der Mensch, den sie besitzt, hat seinen Verstand behalten und zusammen könnten sie ein Katalysator sein, der die Zukunft des schon ewig dauernden Krieges verändert. Allerdings nur, wenn sie es schaffen, am Leben zu bleiben und zu lernen, wie sie sich einen Körper teilen können. Eine Jahrtausende alte Dämonin, die keine Moral kennt, muss sich nun mit einer hartgesottenen, jungen Frau herumschlagen, die ihre eigenen Vorstellungen von ihrer Zukunft hat. Gemeinsam arbeiten sie eine Art Waffenstillstand aus. Bis der Dämon süchtig nach Seifenopern und Spielshows wird und Katies Körper ohne Erlaubnis verändert. Dann bricht die Hölle los.

Traditional Chinese Edition of Relationship Goals

Lieutenant Gregor Popov is on trial for his efforts along with Heavy Metal to save the Russian Scientists. Will they go after Sal, Madigan and Courtney next? Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... Will Popov get a light sentence, or something worse? Savage has been tasked with an operation, hidden from everyone. Unfortunately, the operation requires him to work with Molina. To make a deal, Courtney must request help. This time, nothing is taken for granted except the ZOO will do what it always does, kill people. NOTE: There may or may not be gratuitous sex in this book. Or it might actually play into a later book with funny talk about men vs. women''s abilities and capabilities. There is ABSOLUTELY cursing in this book. LOTS of upset cursing, cursing out of anger, fear, and other emotional issues related to carnivorous alien flora or fauna eating humans who don''t say ''darn.'' LOTS of gratuitous cursing just because the author finds it funny, too. There is death and sadness...and more death. In fact, it''s a blender of blood out in the ZOO. Man vs. Alien nature seems to justify ugly results. Plus, people have emotional hang-ups. Expect to smile, laugh, cry, and perhaps have a spate of jealousy or two. Further, there might be explicit sex, thank you sex, and you''re welcome sex. Finally, there is no Coke in the ZOO. That is probably the worst and most offensive trait in these stories. This is Michael Todd, and I approve of the shenanigans pulled within the ZOO stories.

It''s time to bring the pain, and Heavy Metal knows how to make that happen. Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... What do you do when a mercenary team comes looking for trouble in your base... In your home? There is a problem with Courtney''s company and those that wish to have Courtney step down. Amanda and Anja are working on the base and have purchased an AI to help. Unfortunately, the AI had to be purchased after-market and already has a personality. What do you do when a prurient AI is connected to a ton of guns all around your house? Heavy Metal is fighting inside the ZOO and outside the ZOO. Is their ability to hide the bodies outside of the ZOO going to cause problems? There is a billionaire on one side and our team on the other. One side has money and access to guns, the other side has been matured in the ZOO. Does the billionaire even have a chance? In the ZOO, you always expect the unexpected. Can Salinger keep his friendships afloat and stay out of the claws (or mouths) of the denizens of the ZOO AND the law this time? Salinger Jacobs is working to build his company as fast as possible. Will he make a few mistakes he can''t think his way out of? Sometimes, you find that your best relationships come back. NOTE: There may or may not be gratuitous sex in this book. Or it might actually play into a later book with funny talk about men''s vs. women''s abilities and capabilities. There is ABSOLUTELY cursing in this book. LOTS of upset cursing, cursing out of anger, fear, and other emotional issues related to carnivorous alien flora or fauna eating humans who don''t say ''darn.''
