Why are some people able to live extraordinary and joyful lives while, for others, life seems repetitive, flat, a giant yawn, an exercise in high drama or run by fear? Robert White does not pretend to have all the answers. However, after over thirty years founding and/or leading companies like Lifespring and ARC that have graduated over one million, two hundred thousand participants from high-impact personal and organizational effectiveness seminars, he's in a good position to help you explore what works -- and doesn't work -- in your life. After selling out the hardcover edition, this is the the revised third edition deluxe softcover.

Do you ask yourself these questions:

o How can God still love me after what I have done?

o Have I crossed the final line by doing what I did?

o Is my repentance legitimate?

o Is God still in my life, and can things ever be the same between us after what I’ve done?

o Am I even still saved?

When You’ve Sinned Again, What Then?

Guiltiness gnaws at all of us. We worry that our specific wrongdoing has crossed an invisible line beyond the limits of grace. Plus we labor under a vague sense that we haven’t done enough, prayed enough, or been good enough to be worthy of God. This biblically rich, highly accessible message offers you sturdy truths to silence condemnation and self-reproach.

Embracing Grace is full of surprising revelations about what the Bible says—and what goes on in your mind—when a dark atmosphere of unworthiness and disqualification tries to engulf you. Easy-to-read, short chapters, plus fresh definitions for familiar concepts, break down the often-confusing subject of how Grace and the Law work together.

Effective communication is perhaps the most fundamental skill shared in common by successful salespeople. Yet, far too often, new salespeople are released into the field with little to no training, and are not prepared to withstand the tremendous pressures they will face to compromise in their pursuit of the elusive sale. Salespeople resent buyers who take advantage of them, while buyers become alienated and walk away from salespeople who stubbornly and defensively stand their ground. A potentially profitable exchange for both degenerates into a contest of wills that ends poorly for both sides. Jesus Christ, the master communicator, shows us a better way. His conversations with friends and foes alike illustrate how to communicate effectively without compromise: showing respect, building trust, and standing one's ground in a way that nurtures relationships rather than breeding resentment and division.

In this inspiring and informative book, Deb Brown Maher unpacks seven characteristics of Jesus' method of interacting with people and shows how to apply them to totally transform the way people approach a sale, pursuing sales conversations with honesty and integrity, and demonstrating equal concern for the needs of potential buyers. Discover the importance of character, connection, clarity, comprehension, certainty, choice and commitment—and learn to sell like Jesus!

Have you lost hope? Or confused about which way to go in the world? Learn to live through love.

Life's many obstacles can throw anyone into a tailspin that feels uncontrollable. Ultimately, everyone is searching for acceptance and joy. If you search for that acceptance and joy by living by the book when it comes to religion, your search for hope can be filled with frustration. Instead, live a life of purpose built on the principles that unite us all: love.

An Athlete's Roadmap to Discover New Purpose and Live Fulfilled.

Many athletes grow up wanting to be a star - Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm, Michael Phelps, Cheryl Miller, Hussain Bolt, or Lionel Messi. As they journey through sports, their athletic identity strengthens. They get used to the attention, influence, and confidence that comes from being an athlete.

The challenge is that all athletes, whether amateur or seasoned, will have to transition out of sports, many unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with their new life.

Who Am I After Sports will help you:

- Discover why athletic transition is so difficult, and why some commonly suggested solutions don’t produce long-term fulfillment

- Learn effective tools and strategies that will help you overcome common challenges facing athletes in transition

- Develop beliefs, systems, and resources that will help you build a life you love more than your life as an athlete.

Darryll Stinson, a TEDx speaker, business coach, former athlete, and suicide survivor submits a bold theory about athletic transition - the best days of an athlete’s life, no matter how successful, are always ahead of them. This book shares Darryll’s personal story as well as Second Chance Athletes’ signature Transition Roadmap that helps athletes find a new identity and purpose to build a career and/or business they love.

Excerpt: I want every part of you to be free.

I want you to be one with me. You’ve known this. You’ve aimed to let this be the theme of your life—living in union with me—but you have been neglecting one area. In order for you to truly be one with me, you must allow yourself to be fully consumed with me. Fully consumed—spirit, soul, and body. That means not only is your spirit aware of me and sensing my presence, but so is your soul, and ultimately your body.

Today, I remind you that I want every part of you to be free. The issue is that when your mind is consumed with your problems, you’re not experiencing the fullness of my love. I want you to find true freedom in complete oneness with me. So let your mind come into agreement with me. Trust me and completely resign your will to mine. Release those cares into my hands. Either you can be in control of them or I can. But if you let me have control, you will finally experience the freedom and unity with me that you desire. You’ll finally have peace.

The mind-set of the flesh is death,

But the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

ROMANS 8:6
