Bless and Be Blessed: How Your Words Can Make a Difference
by Peter M. Lord

“When you bless,” says Peter Lord, “dramatic, miraculous changes take place.”

In Bless and Be Blessed, this author and pastor shares how we often neglect to bless others until after death.

Coworkers, children, spouses, and friends all need uplifting messages when they can hear, receive, and be transformed by them.

With wisdom, personal anecdotes, and hands-on exercises, Lord teaches readers everything they need to know to deliver powerful words with life-changing impact today. He discusses the scriptural basis for blessing others, describes how readers can receive their own blessing from God, and teaches them to weave the practice of blessing into their everyday lives.

No More Dragons: Get Free from Broken Dreams, Lost Hope, Bad Religion, and Other Monsters

No More Dragons: Get Free from Broken Dreams, Lost Hope, Bad Religion, and Other Monsters
by Jim Burgen

Becoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process.

You make a long chain of bad choices. The chain gradually wraps around you. Layer by layer, it begins to take on the aspect of scales. One day you glance at yourself in the mirror and a monster is staring back at you. You aren’t who you used to be. You aren’t who you want to be. You’re not who you were created and designed to be. Instead, you’re a dragon.

Some choices will lead you to a better life. Some will kill you. Some choices will add a new layer of scales to your dragon, and some will slough them off. No More Dragons is about asking Christ to deliver you and learning how to obey him.
