Feeling like a failure can be pretty exhausting. But chasing after an ever-elusive “success” in money, power, influence, and accolades? That’s even more so. Thankfully there is a better way. In Stop Trying to Be Successful, Pete Portal invites you to recognize the beauty and complexity of the world we live in and to redefine success, choosing love over efficiency, depth over volume and real friendship over cold transactions. It is time for us to remember that true success is not about what we have but about how we live. Stop Trying to Be Successful invites us to slow down and evaluate how Jesus’ life and teachings help us discover a different kind of success. Accompanying this book are features designed to help you dig deeper, including:  Questions for reflection at the end of each chapter,  A link to a free small group video series,  Discussion guides to accompany each small group session.  It’s time to stop falling into the comparison trap and getting bogged down by the world’s many definitions of achievement. You’ll find that Jesus’ life and teaching are the perfect antidote for a world growing sick with the wrong sort of success. Experience a life of Kingdom significance rather than meaningless influence. Be inspired by a renewed sense of purpose. This upside-down success is the kind that will truly satisfy your soul. Stop Trying to be Successful was previously released in the UK as How to be (Un)Successful.

How Great is Our God - Living a...

Chris Tomlin, J. D. Walt, Max...

Recenter God in your life with How Great Is Our God: Living A Worship-Led Life In a Me-Driven World by Grammy Award-winning worship artist Chris Tomlin. In this intimate look at his songs, Tomlin shows how worship music is more than just music but a tool for putting God first. Living in a me-driven world means being the king of a small, earthbound kingdom. Chris Tomlin posits that when you choose to live a worship-led life instead, you will eventually gain welcome to God’s eternal kingdom. After spending over two decades as one of the most successful worship musicians in the market, he’s learned that he wasn’t just called to sing but to lead others to God. He shows with his writing how God is all around us, encouraging us to reject the worldly notion of living for ourselves and instead decide to live for Him. Tomlin uses his experience as a worship artist to detail what it means to truly live a worship-led life, including: Exploring how his songs emphasize a God-centered life, Explaining how Christians can redefine worship in their everyday lives, And breaking down Bible verses that celebrate God’s greatness. How Great Is Our God calls readers to remember the true meaning of worship—singing God’s praises both inside and outside of church. When you live a me-driven life, you choose to focus on yourself, but when you live a worship-led life, you choose to focus on God and others. Follow along with Chris Tomlin as he considers the importance of reshaping your world around God and laying yourself at His feet.
