Experience Jesus--Really: Finding Refuge, Strength, and Wonder through Everyday Encounters with God

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the 'ordinary mystic,' and invites readers into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus. In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life. But if that's true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism--and it's keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without. John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the ordinary mystic. Readers who join Eldredge on this journey will - regain childlike faith in the reality of God's constant, available presence to those who seek him; - discover the biblical foundations for the mystical tradition in Christianity; and - learn practices, habits, and prayers that will transform their ability to hear the voice of Jesus in their day-to-day lives. Every human yearns to return to Eden, to a state of unbroken communion with the God who created us for adventure and intimacy with him. The mystic is awake to the truth that God is still with us--and we experience the refuge of his powerful, healing presence if we learn to open our hearts to him.

The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality

Men today are starved for sexual formation. They've been failed by parents, churches, and culture alike, leading to widespread shame, confusion, and brokenness in the area of sexuality. In The Sex Talk You Never Got, therapist Sam Jolman helps men reconnect their God-given sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy, and shows readers how to celebrate--instead of struggle against--the gift of sexual desire. In our sex-saturated world, it might seem surprising that men need more talk about sex. But the reality is that sexuality is one of the most neglected aspects of men's lives. From the woefully inadequate sex talks many young men receive from parents (little more than an anatomy lesson or a purity lecture, if anything at all) to cultural messages that unhelpfully weave both shame and permissiveness into men's understanding of their own sexuality and masculinity, too many boys and men experience sexual desire as an area of struggle, confusion, and brokenness. But it doesn't need to be this way. God made men to be moved, to live with wonder and awe--and sexual desire must be formed within the context of that design. Sam Jolman, a professional therapist who specializes in men's issues and sexual trauma recovery, shows men the way out of the wilds of sexual struggle. This timely and incisive book will help readers - learn about the vital link between sexual desire and their identity as worshipers; - regain a wild and vigorous sexuality within the context of God's design; - understand how purity culture has needlessly put men in a conflict-ridden relationship with their sexuality; - see sexual purity not as the goal but as the preparation for becoming fully alive to beauty, awe, and worship; and - discover how to trade shame and confusion for a sexuality that's filled with innocence and wonder. In the Bible, Jesus' greatest kindness was often offered to those suffering sexual harm and brokenness. He offers this same kindness today. He does not want men to repent of their sexual desire. Rather, through reconnecting sexuality with innocence and awe, God opens the door for men to experience the wild joy of desire, rightly ordered toward worship and God's good purposes for their life.

Love & War: Finding The Marriage You've Dreamed Of

With astonishing vulnerability that engages readers from the first page, John and Stasi Eldredge openly discuss their own marriage and the breakthroughs they have won from the challenges they’ve faced. Each talks to the reader about what he and she have learned, providing a balance between male and female perspectives that has been absent from previous books on this topic. John and Stasi begin Love & War with an obvious confession: Marriage is fabulously hard. But beneath and behind the inevitable tensions a man and woman “locked in the same submarine” are going to have, the real battle is against the work of the Enemy, who plots and schemes to tear love apart. The Eldredges show how couples can win “by fighting for each other, instead of against each other.” As they say, “We live in a great love story, set in the midst of war.” “This is a book of wisdom and hope…a beautiful labor that will move your marriage to far deeper joy.” Dan. B. Allender, author of The Wounded Heart

Moving Mountains: Audio Bible Studies: Praying with Passion, Confidence, and Authority

In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, 'Teach us to pray!' Most of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the 'right' way. We ask ourselves: - How do I listen for God? - How do I pray for healing? - How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack? - How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin? - How do I pray for protection? - How do I pray for my lost friends and family? In this eight-session study, bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but can't sense He hears us-or even cares. Rather, Jesus says, 'I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven' (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not victims of circumstance-that we are sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority. Sessions include: - There Is a Way Things Work (11:00) - The Cry of the Heart (12:00) - The Prayer of Intervention (12:00) - The Prayer of Consecration (14:00) - Listening Prayer (12:00) - Warfare Prayer (12:00) - Healing Prayer (12:00) - Holding the Heart in Unanswered Prayer (13:00) Coordinating study guide available separately.

Wild at Heart Updated: Audio Bible Studies: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

The Bible Study Source series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Wild at Heart includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover this important Bible-based topic. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. In this updated edition of the bestselling classic, author John Eldredge reminds men they need adventure in their lives . . . in their work, in their love, and their spiritual lives. He reveals how God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: to be a hero, to be a warrior, and to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a 'nice guy.' It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative six-session video study, John Eldredge explains how God wants to heal these deep wounds from earlier years that take away a man's confidence and-in some case-his masculinity. He shows that deep within the heart of every man is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue-because that is how God created him. It is time for the church to reclaim these wounded warriors. It is time to give men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free! Sessions include: - The Heart of a Man - The Wound - A Battle to Fight - An Adventure to Live - A Beauty to Rescue - A Band of Brothers
