When you fast, your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to the things of God.

Jentezen Franklin gives you the keys to experiencing this kind of transformation in Fasting, one of the best and most comprehensive books available on the topic.

Joseph of Arimathea tells the story of the man who took upon himself the task of burying Jesus after his crucifixion. Joseph, who is briefly discussed in all four gospel accounts, is a mere footnote in Scripture, but his actions speak volumes and give the working Christian an example of how to live for Christ in a world that opposes him.

What if your most effective prayers weren’t your longest ones? So many believers feel pressure to say more, thinking longer or more eloquent prayers will move the hand of God. But Scripture says otherwise. Throughout the Bible, brief, heartfelt prayers brought breakthroughs and divine intervention. In The Power of Short Prayers, you’ll discover how even a simple cry of “Lord, save me!” can open Heaven’s windows. Through biblical examples and practical encouragement, learn how to pray with confidence in every circumstance—no matter how urgent or overwhelming.

Break free from this subtle destroyer and reclaim a life of passion and purpose. Pythons have an interesting way of killing their prey. They constrict it until it can no longer breathe, literally suffocating the life out of it. In the spirit realm Satan often works in the same way, slowly slithering his way into our lives, attempting to choke the very life out of us. The python spirit can squeeze the joy out of your worship and prayers. It can pressure you to keep quiet when God wants you to speak up.

The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do. Sharing his own story of pain, pastor and best-selling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love.

We all crave love. We try to fill the void inside with any number of poor substitutes. We seek validation from empty outlets. We're thirsty for compliments. We change who we are to impress people who aren't looking and don't care. Yet, we are still desperately searching for a love that changes everything for us, a love that doesn't fade and doesn't fail - even when we do, That's the kind of love God shows that he has for us through the remarkable story of Hosea and Gomer. 

Can ordinary people make a lasting impact on the world around them? Matthew Barnett's answer is an emphatic Yes! In One Small Step, he shows that it is not as daunting as one might think.

These small steps - most often very simple acts that can be done on a daily basis - require only our obedience and follow-through.

Tutti noi lo sappiamo bene: le persone che ci stanno più vicine sono quelle capaci di infliggerci le ferite più profonde. A quel punto, sconvolti e amareggiati, tendiamo a erigere dei muri per proteggerci dal dolore. Purtroppo, quelle stesse barriere ci impediscono anche di scorgere una speranza, di ricevere guarigione e di tornare a provare amore. Condividendo la sua personale storia di dolore, Jentezen Franklin, pastore e autore di vari bestseller, ci mostra come trovare la forza, il coraggio e la motivazione necessari per amare come se non fossimo mai stati feriti.

Cuando golpean las tormentas o el desorden de la vida te derrumba, parece más fácil hundirse en la resaca caótica que luchar para mantenerse a flote; y cuando te enfocas en las olas, pierdes la mano que baja para ayudarte. Con calidez y sabiduría, el pastor y autor de bestsellers del New York Times, Jentezen Franklin, nos recuerda que ninguna tormenta es tan feroz que no se puede calmar, y ningún obstáculo es tan grande que no se puede mover.

Parents, both natural and spiritual, play a vital role throughout our lives. When these relationships are broken, the impact—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—is profound.
