Surrender Your Story - Ditch the...

Tara Sun

Read by the author. 
“I could not think of a better read and better reminder that He writes the best stories.” 
—Sadie Robertson Huff, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and founder of Live Original  
There’s a lie masquerading as truth that’s running rampant in our culture. It goes something like this: you are powerful enough to control your circumstances and create the life you want through positive thinking, solid planning, and dreaming big enough. But if you’ve ever tried to control your life or to strive your way to self-fulfillment, you’ve discovered what lies on the other side of this supposedly empowering message: frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment when things don’t go your way. 
In Surrender Your Story podcast host and blogger Tara Sun explores why the quest for control is overrated—not to mention downright dangerous—and reveals the surprising, lifegiving alternative: radical surrender to God. When a battle with chronic illness demolished her illusions of control and independence, Tara embarked on her own journey toward surrender and true trust in God, and now invites you to do the same. Drawing on Scripture and her own powerful story, Tara will help youlet go of your death grip on control and find freedom in surrender;learn how to truly trust God with the twists and turns of your story;depend on God as your source of strength; andmove forward in faith, even in the face of life’s disappointment and setbacks. 
  
Surrendering control to God isn’t a loss—it’s actually where we gain the most abundant life. When we believe that God loves us and is worthy to be trusted with our stories, we can trade the burden of self-sufficiency, control, and worry, for the peace, freedom, and purpose we’ve been longing for. 
Accompanying diagrams, prayers, and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Not Beyond Reach - How to Share...

Aaron Pierce, Chip Ingram

America has undergone a radical shift. Almost half of Generation Z (born 1997 through 2012) and millennials (born 1981 through 1996) mark the “none” box when it comes to claiming religious affiliation.
How can we share Jesus with the growing number of secular people who question, ignore, or reject beliefs about truth, morality, the Bible, and God that earlier generations built their lives on?
It starts with being a good friend.
In Not Beyond Reach, Aaron Pierce explains how discipleship relationships start even before a friend or loved one accepts Christ. There is rich meaning and purpose in your everyday interactions with nonbelievers, no matter where they are in their faith journey! As you build trust over time, you open doors to share the Gospel.
Aaron begins by demystifying the underlying inconsistencies and idols at the heart of secular beliefs. Then he outlines a new playbook for reaching the next generation and others who would not walk into a church.
The process involves intentionality and radical dependence on the Holy Spirit and God to move. It also involves authentic relationships and perceptive listening and communication skills. For those who struggle in this area, Not Beyond Reach provides examples and strategies to help readers progress from friendship conversations to spiritual conversations to Gospel conversations that transform lives.
As we seek to reach those we love and care about with Jesus and the message of the cross, Aaron Pierce reminds us they are not beyond reach!
You are the ambassador God is calling right now, right where you are! Not Beyond Reach shows you how.

Restoration Story - Why Jesus...

Robert K. Cheong

What unanswered questions do you have about your life? Some of us struggle to find meaning, others wonder about identity, and all of us want to be loved. Your story―the events and relationships that define you―will guide how you answer those questions. But God has a story too. His story is about sending Jesus to this broken world to mend all that is broken. Author Robert Cheong, a pastor and counselor, helps readers connect their story to God’s story which will transform how they live and love.      We all have our own back story―our sometimes unconscious beliefs―that have been shaped by our families, relationships, and life experiences. Our stories shape the personal narratives we live out: “I am not loved.” “No one cares for me.” “I have to be better than everyone around me.” “How I look is the most important thing about me.” Our back story guides us in how we relate to God and others. But are these beliefs true? And how are they affecting our lives today? Cheong helps readers unpack their story and learn to live out of God’s new story. Readers will discover how to retell their story out of who God is, what he’s done, and the call to love him and others.       Learn how the dynamics of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation shape our present struggles, confirm our future hope, and ensure our ability to live in God’s power today. At the intersection of God’s story and your own, you’ll find that his love sustains you in your weariness, guides you in your confusion, and comforts you in your suffering. The story of his love will compel you to live for him.      Restoration Story can also be used alongside Cheong’s Restore: Changing How We Live and Love Study Guide.
