New Releases by Lysa TerKeurst

It''s not that we want to be controlling people; it''s just that we want to prevent bad things from happening and bring stability to the chaos. Especially when we are afraid of what God seems to be allowing. So we come up with plans and get very intentional about trying to make everyone around us line up with what we really think is best. We don''t have bad motives. We''re just desperate to prevent another hardship, more heartbreak, and all the emotional turmoil that feels so unnecessary. But this only leads to a counterfeit version of control where we believe everything depends on us—a crushing weight we were never meant to bear. In this six-session video Bible study, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the tension so many of us live in, where it seems like the Lord isn''t paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. She shows us how to: Identify the core fears that fuel us to reach for control but only compound the chaos. Know when we''re crossing the line from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control. Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep us in spiritual confusion (about God) fueled by emotional exhaustion (from the relentlessness of life). Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob our peace by learning what to do when we feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative. Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren''t You doing more to change this person or these circumstances? and I didn''t see You do it then, so how do I know You''ll do it now?

O divórcio é uma das experiências mais doloridas que alguém pode enfrentar. Com a dor, dúvidas insistentes vêm à mente: "Por que isso está acontecendo comigo? Por que ele quis assim? Por que Deus não impediu esse sofrimento? Estou pecando ao me divorciar? Estou me tornando menos filha do Pai por isso?" Lysa TerKeurst já se fez todas essas perguntas. O fim de seu casamento deixou cicatrizes profundas em sua vida e em sua fé. A partir dessa experiência, e refletindo sobre a importância de ter alguém ao nosso lado em momentos tão difíceis, ela compartilha sua história, suas reflexões sobre o processo que viveu, as ferramentas que a ajudaram a seguir em frente e as verdades bíblicas que revelam como Deus realmente enxerga o divórcio. A obra também conta com a contribuição de dois homens que caminharam ao lado de Lysa durante esse período difícil: o teólogo, Joel Mudamalle e o seu terapeuta, Jim Cress. Com sensibilidade e sabedoria, eles ajudaram Lysa a encontrar respostas práticas e de fé para alguns dos momentos mais desgastantes do fim de seu casamento. Aqui, eles trazem conceitos e práticas que podem ajudar você também. Divorciar-se é uma das decisões mais difíceis que alguém pode tomar. Ninguém deve passar por essa fase sozinha. Ao longo do livro, Lysa nos lembra que a ajuda sempre é possível, que você não está sozinha em seus sentimentos e dores e que Deus não a abandona em momento algum.

Their stories are not fairytales, their road was not easy, and their examples are not perfect. They lived in times and places quite different from ours. Yet they hold up a mirror to our souls that can help us better understand our own story. And in doing so, we find freedom to come to God as we are, with total transparency—honest and real. In this twelve-session Bible study, taught by six acclaimed Bible teachers—including Lysa TerKeurst—you will meet a group of women in the Bible whose lives teach us about ourselves and about who God is. You and your group will open yourselves to the raw and revealing stories of frailties, struggles, brokenness, and victories of real women from both the Old and New Testaments. You''ll discover lessons from each of these twelve women that will help you: Apply biblical lessons to your own modern-day struggles. Persevere through your failures and accept your successes. Draw near to God in a world filled with trials. Find lasting contentment in every situation. Overcome rejection and insecurity.

A Failed Marriage Doesn’t Make You a Failure in God’s Eyes. When Lysa TerKeurst experienced the painful and unwanted death of her marriage after nearly thirty years, she didn''t know who to turn to or what would actually help her. She needed to get her bearings on what the Bible really says about marriage and divorce. She also needed the tools to work through the fallout she was walking through. Now, Lysa, alongside theologian Dr. Joel Muddamalle and Licensed Professional Counselor Jim Cress, offers you that resource, answering some of your toughest questions about how to move on, even when your marriage doesn’t, such as: Does God hate divorce? How do I stop feeling so angry about all that has been taken from me? Why hasn’t God stopped all this tragedy from happening? How do I walk toward a future I never envisioned? How long is it going to take to heal? Whether you’re in the throes of a divorce, still processing things that happened years ago, or walking with someone you love through a devastating season, help is not far away and God deeply cares for you. Surviving an Unwanted Divorce offers biblically based, practical strategies for navigating loss, shame, intense loneliness, and the unfairness of it all as one life season ends . . . and a new hope-filled season begins.

Recunoaste chemarea lui Dumnezeu Intr-o lume in care cerintele vin din toate directiile si da-urile par dovada iubirii si acceptarii, Lysa TerKeurst ne provoaca sa ne oprim. Sa respiram. Sa ascultam. Spune-I da lui Dumnezeu nu este doar un ghid de ascultare spirituala, ci o chemare la trezire. Ne arata ca fiecare „da” oferit lui Dumnezeu este, de fapt, o renuntare sfanta la ceea ce e superficial, aglomerat si fara rod. Asa ca inainte sa spui da unei invitatii, intreaba-te: - Imi umple sufletul sau doar agenda? - E un „da” pentru chemarea mea… sau doar pentru a nu dezamagi pe cineva? - Il onoreaza pe Dumnezeu… sau doar ma grabesc sa fiu pe placul cuiva? Lasa-L pe Dumnezeu sa-ti scrie povestea. Inamicii unei vieti minunate nu sunt tragedia, suferinta si dificultatile. Inamicul unei vieti minunate este a duce pur si simplu o viata confortabila. O viata in care pui mai mult pret pe confort si tihna decat pe crestere. O viata in care eviti sa mergi prin credinta cu Dumnezeu. Traim intr-o lume decazuta, asa ca nimeni nu poate ocoli toate gropile din drumul vietii. Vei trece prin necazuri. Vei fi lovita si ranita, dar nu trebuie sa ajungi dezorientata. Spune-I da lui Dumnezeu acum. Spune da oricarei situatii pe care o ingaduie in viata ta. Cauta-L pe El din toata inima. Mediteaza la ceea ce vrea sa te invete. Renunta la ceea ce iti cere sa renunti. Si fii incredintata ca El lucreaza chiar acum, in culise, la indeplinirea planurilor minunate pe care le are pentru viata ta. Increderea in Dumnezeu nu este pentru cei slabi de inima. Este doar pentru aceia care vor sa descopere binecuvantarile imbelsugate ale umblarii indeaproape cu Dumnezeu in asa masura incat sa-I auda soapta blanda. „Pentru oricine a indraznit sa viseze alaturi de Dumnezeu, aceasta carte este de neratat.” — Dr. Bruce Wilkinson, autorul cartii Cel ce da viziune Cuprins Ce se intampla cand femeile Ii spun da lui Dumnezeu Introducere 1.

It is possible to heal, have hope, and trust again. New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst knows what it''s like to struggle with trust issues. In The Trust Journey, she shows you what to do with skepticism and distrust and offers practical advice and biblical wisdom to help you heal from past betrayals and move forward with resilience.

Ist es lieblos oder egoistisch, Grenzen zu setzen? Dürfen Christen Beziehungen beenden, wenn sie nicht länger sicher oder tragfähig sind? Lysa TerKeurst kennt aus eigener Erfahrung all die schwierigen Fragen, die Beziehungsprobleme mit sich bringen. Und sie sagt: Grenzen sind nicht nur eine gute Idee, sie sind Gottes Idee. Was sollte bei der Einführung gesunder Grenzen beachtet werden? Warum ist es wichtig, sich darüber Gedanken zu machen, wie intensiv man jemandem Einblick in das eigene Leben und Fühlen geben will? Können Bibelverse als Waffe eingesetzt werden, wenn sie falsch verstanden werden? Die Leser lernen, wie man mithilfe von praktischen Strategien und guter Kommunikation effektiv Grenzen setzen und beibehalten kann.

„Respingerea fura ce e mai bun in mine, intarind cele mai rele lucruri ce mi s-au spus.” Dusmanul vrea sa te faca sa te simti respins, exclus, singur si neimportant. In Neinvitat, Lysa impartaseste propriile experiente legate de respingere – de la traumele din copilarie, cum ar fi abandonul de catre tatal ei, pana la momentele de nesiguranta si comparatie din viata de zi cu zi – si impactul profund pe care aceasta il poate avea asupra vietii noastre emotionale si spirituale, afectandu‑ne toate relatiile, inclusiv relatia cu Dumnezeu. Cu profunzime biblica, vulnerabilitate sincera si un umor revigorant, Lysa te va ajuta sa: Nu te mai simti exclus, amintindu-ti ca, desi s-ar putea sa fii ignorat de altii, esti ales de Dumnezeu. Iti controlezi reactiile la durere, fara sa te prabusesti sau sa incerci sa-i controlezi pe altii, imbratisand modalitati care-L onoreaza pe Dumnezeu pentru a-ti procesa durerea. Stii cum sa te rogi eficient pentru a-ti gasi linistea interioara si a-ti recapata increderea in fata respingerii. Depasesti fricile care iti alimenteaza nesigurantele, intelegand adevaratul sentiment de apartenenta. Neinvitat ne aminteste ca suntem destinati unei iubiri care nu poate fi diminuata, patata sau luata – o iubire care nu respinge si nu exclude pe nimeni. „Frumusetea deosebita a acestei carti consta in faptul ca nu doar empatizeaza cu durerea respingerii, ci insufla un curaj divin in sufletul tau pentru a te ajuta sa inveti sa umbli cu incredere inradacinata in dragostea statornica, vesnica si abundenta a lui Isus!” Respingerea nu este doar o emotie pe care o simtim. Este un mesaj trimis in nucleul a ceea ce suntem, determinandu-ne sa credem minciuni despre noi insine, despre ceilalti si despre Dumnezeu. Respingerile de astazi, fie ele mari sau subtile, sunt precum bombele nedetectabile care tintesc direct miezul fiintei noastre, identificand ranile din trecut si facandu-le dureros de prezente iar. Ele transmit mesaje care dau peste cap toate formulele noastre atent alese pentru mentinerea stabilitatii vietii. Cand identitatea noastra este legata de circumstante, devenim extrem de nesiguri, deoarece circumstantele sunt imprevizibile si mereu schimbatoare. Ne ridicam si cadem odata cu succesele si esecurile noastre. Este momentul sa oprim minciunile si durerea devastatoare care izvoraste din acest tip de identitate circumstantiala si sa ne legam identitatea de Dumnezeul nesovaitor, neclintit, neinduplecat, incontestabil bun si fara indoiala iubitor. Caci legaturile care ne tin de El si de adevarul despre cine suntem in El ni se ofera in acele momente linistite in care spunem: „Iti apartinem, Dumnezeule!” Respingerea nu are niciodata ultimul cuvant. Respingerea poate fi o intarziere sau o distragere sau chiar ceva devastator pentru o perioada. Dar nu este niciodata o destinatie finala. Suntem destinati unei iubiri care nu poate fi niciodata diminuata, intinata, zguduita sau luata. Cu Cristos, in Dumnezeu, suntem in siguranta pentru totdeauna. Suntem pentru totdeauna acceptati.

Aprecieri pentru aceasta carte Lysa este una dintre scriitoarele mele preferate. Nu doar pentru ca este inteligenta sau profunda sau grijulie, desi este asa. Lysa ma impresioneaza pentru ca este autentica, transparenta si sincera. Are destul curaj si tenacitate pentru a trece prin momente dificile, dar, mai presus de toate acestea, Il are pe Isus. A invatat ca ceea ce Il fascineaza pe El nu sunt succesele noastre, ci credinta noastra. Aceasta carte te va indruma inapoi spre Isus atunci cand simti ca te-ai ratacit. — Bob Goff, autor al bestsellerului New York Times Dragostea actioneaza * Lysa a reusit o noua capodopera! Sigur n-o sa poti sa lasi din mana cartea asta. Este captivanta de la prima pana la ultima pagina. Cu vulnerabilitatea ei caracteristica, Lysa ofera o modalitate sincera de a gestiona temerile, respingerile, nesigurantele si instabilitatea pe care le experimentam cu totii. Crede-ne cand iti spunem ca nu ai mai citit niciodata o carte ca aceasta. Nu o rata! Nu avem cuvinte suficiente sa recomandam Neinvitat. — Les si Leslie Parrott, autori ai bestsellerului New York Times Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts * Lysa TerKeurst are un dar incontestabil de a-si impartasi luptele inimii in moduri care contribuie la edificarea si pregatirea vietilor altora. Nu-mi amintesc ultima data cand am citit o carte cu o asemenea intelegere a naturii umane. Nu rata aceasta carte! Va fi o binecuvantare! — Chris Hodges, pastor principal, Biserica Highlands; autor al cartilor Fresh Air si Four Cups * Aceasta carte trebuie citita. Lysa se adreseaza unei culturi in care oamenii pot afla instant ce mananca, ce se joaca, unde petrec si ce isi planifica prietenii lor, in orice moment accesand un singur buton de pe micul dispozitiv din buzunarul propriu. Partea mea preferata este ca Lysa isi indreapta privirea catre ceea ce este cel mai important, si anume, marea invitatie de a ne aseza la masa cu Dumnezeul Viu care a fost cu noi inca de la inceput. — Jefferson Bethke, autor de bestselleruri precum Jesusu003eReligion si It’s Not What You Think * Ca femeie care s-a confruntat cu respingerea de mai multe ori decat mi‑as dori sa imi amintesc, Neinvitat a fost apa de care avea nevoie sufletul meu insetat. In calatoria mea cu Isus, am plans adesea dupa vindecare si am cautat cuvintele Adevarului pe care sa ma bazez. Aceasta carte mi-a furnizat tocmai acele cuvinte de care aveam nevoie si m-a invatat multe despre iertare. Daca esti in cautarea sperantei, aceasta carte ofera exact ce ai nevoie. — Tara C. * Frumusetea deosebita a acestei carti consta in faptul ca nu doar empatizeaza cu durerea respingerii, ci insufla un curaj divin in sufletul tau pentru a te ajuta sa inveti sa umbli cu incredere sfanta. O incredere inradacinata in dragostea statornica, vesnica, pasionala si abundenta a lui Isus. — Alicia S. * Cuvintele Lysei m-au ajutat sa-mi procesez respingerile fara sa idolatrizez acceptarea sau sa neglijez durerea lor. — Megan C. * Felul in care Lysa leaga viata de zi cu zi de Scriptura m-a ajutat sa-mi vindec durerea sufletului si sa ma rog cu mai mare usurinta cand parea aproape imposibil sa ma rog singura. — Kim C. * Pericolul de a permite ca respingerea sau frica de respingere sa masoare valoarea noastra sta la baza multelor lupte cu care se confrunta femeile astazi. Lysa abordeaza aceasta problema cu onestitate, simt practic, umor si, cel mai important, cu adevarul lui Dumnezeu. Neinvitat nu trebuie ratata! — Sarah R. * Cu vocea unei prietene de incredere, Lysa arata calea catre un Dumnezeu care a intrat in lume cu singurul scop: de a fi respins de ai Sai. El poate intelege durerea noastra. Cu increderea celei care L-a apucat de mana si a trecut prin unele dintre cele mai dureroase vai ale vietii, Lysa ofera cititorului cu instrumentele potrivite pentru a merge inainte invingator. — Erin B. * Este aproape ca si cum Lysa ar fi vazut viata mea si ar fi scris despre ea. Recomand aceasta carte fiecarei femei. — Sarah L. * Recunosc ca m-am surprins pe mine insami ridicand mainile in lacrimi pe parcursul anumitor parti din cartea Neinvitat. Acelea au fost momente deosebit de dulci cu Domnul. — Emily S.

Nossos corações foram feitos para amor e segurança, mas muitas vezes estamos tão acostumadas com a dor, o desgosto e o medo, que nos afastamos dos gestos de cuidado e carinho. Em "Acolhida: 100 devocionais para saber que Deus está te abraçando", Lysa TerKeurst compartilha suas próprias lutas e dúvidas enquanto aponta para a Acolhida Definitiva: os braços abertos de Jesus no Calvário nos puxando para perto de Deus.

If you''ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing offenses over and over in your mind—if you''ve ever been hurt so badly that you don''t know if you''ll ever get past it—discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and how to find the peace that comes from embracing it. Forgiveness is a major part of the Christian faith. But how do we actually put it into practice when we''re the ones who''ve been hurt? We know God commands us to forgive each other. But, apart from simply saying the words, "I forgive you," many of us have unasked questions about it: How does it work? On our minds, souls, circumstances—what''s actually happening when we forgive? Why is it so important, and what''s the difference between forgiveness and simply moving on? When should I forgive, and are their exceptions? How can I find healing for myself, even if my act of forgiveness doesn''t seem to change the person who hurt me? These are just some of the questions that bestselling author and teacher Lysa TerKeurst explores in this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately). This study will walk with you on a step-by-step process--through biblical answers, deep empathy, and the therapeutic insight that comes from Lysa''s personal experiences--toward the grace of forgiveness and the freedom from the pain of past wrongs.
