It''s time to anchor yourself to something solid, something unchanging—but not to just any old thing. Take hold of something firm and secure. Take hold of hope—“an anchor for the soul” (Hebrews 6:19 NIV). So where do you turn to find real hope? The only answer is God. In Romans 15:13, the Bible says, “May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (GW). God is the only source of hope that will never disappoint. In fact, the Bible says he is the God of hope. He wants his hope to overflow into your daily life, providing the power to conquer fear, reduce stress, resolve conflict, build healthy relationships, overcome temptation, and face any challenge. In this Daily Hope Devotional: 365 Days of Purpose, Peace, and Promise, you will experience clear, practical, and biblical teaching, helping you stay anchored to the real and unfailing hope that comes only from God.

Pastor Rick Warren will help you understand the process God uses to fulfill the dreams He gives you. A great dream is a statement of faith. Whether you dream of creating something beautiful or accomplishing something incredible, your dream is the first step God uses to develop your spiritual maturity and change your life. The Bible is full of stories of people whose God-given dreams became reality—but to get there, they had to take a journey of faith. In Created to Dream, beloved author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren reveals how God uses six phases to develop your spiritual maturity while fulfilling the dreams he gives you. Each phase is a test of your faith, bringing you closer to your goal: Phase 1: Dream—God puts an exciting dream in your heart. Phase 2: Decision—You make the decision to go after the dream. Phase 3: Delays—God allows delays to get you ready for the dream. Phase 4: Difficulties—You face problems that grow your character. Phase 5: Dead Ends—You hit an impasse that God uses to deepen your faith further. Phase 6: Deliverance—God fulfills the dream, sometimes in ways you hadn’t expected or imagined. Knowing these six biblical phases of faith will allow you to stop wondering if you’ll succeed or what you''re doing wrong and begin looking instead for God''s way forward so that you can be prepared for all that God has dreamed for your future. God''s dream for your life awaits you!

In 2006, Christianity Today voted this title to be one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals! Who is Jesus? "If Jesus was not God in human flesh, Christianity is exploded," writes John Stott. "We are left with just another religion with some beautiful ideas and noble ethics; its unique distinction has gone." If Jesus is not who he said he was, and if he did not do what he said he had come to do, the whole superstructure of Christianity crumbles in ruins to the ground. Is it plausible that Jesus was truly divine? And what might this mean for us? John Stott''s clear, classic statement examines the historical facts on which Christianity stands. Here is a sound, sensible guide for all who seek an intellectually satisfying explanation of the Christian faith.

The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

When we have difficult questions, the Bible has answers. Join Rick Warren, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, as he invites us to take a closer look at key biblical figures and the ways in which they faced difficult questions and challenges in their daily lives. In God''s Answers to Life''s Difficult Questions, Warren uses stories from scripture to teach us that the Bible is filled with examples of real people who faced the same dilemmas we''re facing today. By demonstrating the ways in which God chooses to use ordinary people to accomplish his plans--despite their weaknesses and failures--Warren gives us hope as we take on life''s countless challenges. Better yet, Warren provides us with realistic solutions that we can start putting into practice today. Taking us inside the lives of biblical characters including Moses, Paul, and Jesus himself, Warren gives us a chance to see the up-close-and-personal ways they navigated their own circumstances. Although God''s Answers to Life''s Difficult Questions is anchored in timeless stories from scripture, Warren also weaves in modern examples that address the twelve questions he''s asked the most as a spiritual leader, including: How can I learn to handle discouragement? How can I respond better in a crisis? How do I become more resilient when I feel like a failure? How can I fight my loneliness? How is change possible for me? How can I lead a more peaceful life? The concrete, practical insights that Warren shares in God''s Answers to Life''s Difficult Questions will give you the tools you need to build up your resilience, strengthen your relationship with God, and finally enjoy a life full of lasting purpose, peace, and significance.

Realize I''m not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. ''Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.'' Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover. ''Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.'' Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ''s care and control. ''Happy are the meek.'' Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to someone I trust. ''Happy are the pure in heart.'' Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects. ''Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires.'' Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I''ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others. ''Happy are the merciful.'' ''Happy are the peacemakers.'' Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and gain the power to follow His will. Yield myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. ''Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires.''
