Synopsis

How to overcome the habits that are stealing joy from your life 
 
Our upside-down culture celebrates vice and undervalues virtue, leading us to feed the wrong habits while we allow life-giving practices to die. It's no wonder we feel empty, exhausted, and directionless. 
 
There's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers--because that's not where you'll find them. With his signature wit and wisdom, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda helps you 
 
● unpack the age-old virtues we're told to pursue in Scripture 
● understand how these God-given goals free us to love and live as we wish we would 
● redefine what's important to you  
● reclaim a life of virtue 
 
Practicing virtues is not just something you do--it's something done in you, slowly but surely transforming you into the person you were meant to be all along.

    The Glory of Righteousness

    What is righteousness? What is sin? What was the purpose of the Law of Moses? What is the difference between living under the law vs. living under grace? How can believers in Christ renew their minds effectively, and what does that mean? Do believers in Christ need to confess their sins? If yes, how should it be done and what is the importance of it? If they don't need to confess their sins, why not? This audiobook will have an extensive discussion about conscience, righteousness, sin, law and grace, mind renewal, future sins, confession of sins, and the Lord's Supper. 
    The training and education of our minds for our lives takes years and years of school and study. Keeping our physical bodies fit and in a good shape or building our muscles takes time, commitment, and much exercise. Likewise, developing a life of power in the spirit and of continuously increasing glory requires time, patience, and commitment. However, this life is not without rewards here on earth. I hope that this audiobook will encourage you to fight the fight of faith in bringing that new person to the surface from inside out into full manifestation, knowing that God already has given us in the spiritual realm everything we need to live the God life in abundance here on earth. He is the one working in us both to will and to do his good pleasure, and he's also the rewarder of our faith and diligent seeking of his kingdom.

    "It is necessary only for the good man [or woman] to do nothing for evil to triumph." --Edmund Burke 
    It is certainly true today that the "Do Nothings" outnumber "The Company of the Concerned," which in part explains why society is so confused and frightened. It's time for God's people to be concerned! 
    Meet some concerned believers who made a difference in their time and who show you how to make a difference in your time: 
    Amos-The "farmer preacher" who understood the times better than the scholars and who dared to stand for God's truth against the highest officials in the nation. 
    Obadiah-The prophet who explained why longstanding family feuds ultimately bring defeat and disgrace. 
    Micah-The prophet who shows why the only hope for any nation is surrender to the Lord and obedience to His Word. 
    Zephaniah-The prophet who saw the coming "Day of the Lord" and told the people how to get ready. 
    Join God's "faithful remnant" and dare to be different!

    Your Jesus Is Too American -...

    The American church faces a discipleship crisis. Instead of following the values of Jesus, many Christians are chasing after what our culture prizes: power, money, and political influence. 
     
     
     
    In Your Jesus Is Too American, Baptist pastor Steve Bezner invites Christians to rediscover what Jesus treasured and incorporate those kingdom values into the church's witness. 
     
     
     
    With a pastoral voice, Bezner shares the lessons he has been teaching in his church community for eleven years—humble service rather than worldly success, healing relationships across religious and ethnic divides, repairing harm against marginalized groups, giving generously, and providing a political witness rooted in the local church. Bezner shows that Jesus's vision of discipleship points the way toward a different way of being in the world. 
     
     
     
    The book offers a welcome perspective for church leaders and congregants alike who are frustrated with the way many churches pursue values that are not in line with Jesus's teachings and are worried about the American church's credibility crisis. It includes a foreword by Beth Moore.

    Supraconscious - The Genius...

    This book is the core textbook of a quantum science of acting on stage and in life. At a time when the arts and sciences converge more than ever, Perceptual Acting and Directing theory and method (PAD) speaks about a contemporary, tangible metaphysics, fusing theories of quantum physics with mindfulness and the famous Method of the Actors' Studio, in a new harmony. Konstantin Stanislavski had said that the actor of the future, a new actor in the new life, is the one for whom art springs from spiritual intuition. He used the word Supraconscious, indicating to the actor the levels of consciousness he needed to attain. He considered the art of theater as the spiritual path to wholeness. PAD is the new system of translating and decoding, frame by frame, the experience, bringing us in touch with the higher self, by reference to Nietzsche's superhuman and the transcendental Kazantzakis, creating a new transitional space where everything is in motion and evolves in the face of inertia, continuously actualizing that Alma-Quantum Leap of being.
