Come Close and Meet the One Who Loves You How do you jog your memory and restore your vision of God? A fresh encounter! Look into the face of the Father and see him smile with delight as he gazes adoringly at you. Open your eyes and stand amazed at the glory and intricacies of creation and remember the vastness of God’s handiwork. Peek behind the veil of eternity and get a glimpse of heavenly worship and be swept into the party of praise. The book of Psalms opens our hearts and eyes to the presence, power, and character of God. In this ancient prayer book we discover how to connect with the One who loves us more than we dare to dream.

Do you have trouble finding time to pray? So much clamors for your attention: work, school, friends, family, church--the list goes on and on. Time for God and time to pray often seem impossible to fit into packed days and nights. Six studies based on Bill Hybels''s Too Busy Not to Pray show you how to slow down, listen to God and find refreshment in his presence.

Modern man has come up with a host of formulas for life. You can read countless books telling you how to get rich, find love, or reach your hidden potential. But all this advice pales next to the timeless wisdom contained in God''s original set of operating instructions. Those directions are found in--of all places--the Bible. They are known as the Ten Commandments. For those who want to live life according to the manufacturer''s specifications, they are the ultimate "how-to" for life.

Of course you try to do your best when others are watching. But what about when you are alone? That''s when character really counts--when it''s just between you and God. Six studies, drawn from Bill Hybels''s Who You Are When No One''s Looking, focus on the qualities that are the foundation of character: courage, discipline, vision, endurance, compassion and self-sacrifice. With this foundation and God''s guidance, you can do your best at all times--even when you face temptations and troubles, even when no one is watching.

Face the Tough Times with Confidence The question is not, “Will I face challenges?” The issue is, “How will I deal with the tough times that come my way?” No one travels far down the road without confronting the sobering reality that life can be hard. The book of Nehemiah is a case study in overcoming life’s challenges. Wave after wave of pain pounded on the shores of Nehemiah’s life, but he kept standing strong. A tsunami of relational, financial, and spiritual attacks came, but he withstood it all in the power of God. As we meditate on Nehemiah’s story, we discover the hope and victory that come when we walk in God’s wisdom through the challenges of life.

Based on the book of Proverbs and Bill Hybels''s Making Life Work, this study guide will help you develop discipline, speak truth and strengthen relationships--equipping you to think and act out of godly wisdom.

You matter to God -- God loves me -- God can be trusted -- God forgives me -- God transforms me -- God guides me -- God uses me -- God satisfies me -- Now what?

In Just Walk Across the Room, Bill Hybels brings personal evangelism into the twenty-first century with a natural and empowering approach modeled after Jesus himself. When Christ ''walked'' clear across the cosmos more than 2,000 years ago, he had no forced formulas and no memorized script; rather, he came armed only with an offer of redemption for people like us, many of whom were neck-deep in pain of their own making. This dynamic four-week experience is designed to equip and inspire your entire church to participate in that same pattern of grace-giving by taking simple walks across rooms---leaving your circles of comfort and extending hands of care, compassion, and inclusiveness to people who might need a touch of God''s love today.
