We all know what it’s like to justify something we’re about to do with a clever excuse. Temptation knocks at every door. No one is immune. But often we put ourselves in places of vulnerability and then wonder why we get tempted. So, wherein lies the problem? With the lies we tell ourselves and our resulting behavior. In this engaging book, Greg Laurie takes an honest and humorous look at the ways we fall into sin and how we frequently rationalize our actions. Drawing from the pages of Scripture and his own experiences, he shares practical steps we can take to effectively resist temptation and put an end to the compromises that will ultimately lead to our downfall.

Understanding = Life "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6) God has gone on record....what you don''t know can hurt you. When it comes to matters of life, death, and eternal destiny, what you know and what you do with that knowledge means everything. Drawing from his top 10 most-requested messages, Greg Laurie shines the light of God''s Word on the issues that will touch and shape every single day of your life.... and beyond. Things like your direction in life, your marriage, your children, your faith, your relationship with the living God and your defense against a relentless enemy who desires your destruction are among the topics covered.

We can all dread the days ahead, but there is a better way! Here''s how and why you can approach your future with confidence, no matter what the present circumstances.

All of us want to live life to its fullest. Medical science seeks to add years to our lives, but only Jesus can add life to our years. This is why the Gospel of John was written: "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." (John 20:31) This Gospel was written so that we might believe - and then grow in our faith. The word used in John 20:31 for "believing" speaks of a continual action. So John was saying that the more we believe, the more life we will experience. Join pastor and evangelist Greg Laurie in his first Bible commentary on a journey to the first century as he explores selected passages from John 1-5. As you follow the early days of Jesus'' earthly ministy and listen in on His conversations with seeking, hurting, and lonely people, you can find hope and encouragement as you discover God''s great love for humanity - and for you.

Have you ever felt as though God has forgotten you? That He doesn''t care what you''re going through? Have youever needed a second chance? Have you asked, "Why me?" do you want to make your life count for something? Are you looking for meaning and purpose? You''re not alone. For centuries, people have asked these questions and experienced these emotions. And in Jesus'' day, it was no different. In the second of his series from the Gospel of John, pastor and author Greg Laurie guides us through key events in the life and ministry of Jesus, offering us a closer look into the lives of the people He touched - and how He is still reaching out to us today.

The story of Jesus Christ did not end at the cross. In fact, that was only the beginning. Why the Resurrection? explains the significance of Christ''s resurrection and provides a resounding answer to the question of life after death. This book is a companion book to Why the Passion?

One on One with a Giant All of us have to deal with Goliaths in our lives.. Giants like loneliness, addiction, jealousy, bitterness, lust, and fear.

A renowned activist recalls his childhood years in an Indian boarding school Best known as a leader of the Indian takeover of Alcatraz Island in 1969, Adam Fortunate Eagle now offers an unforgettable memoir of his years as a young student at Pipestone Indian Boarding School in Minnesota. In this rare firsthand account, Fortunate Eagle lives up to his reputation as a “contrary warrior” by disproving the popular view of Indian boarding schools as bleak and prisonlike. Fortunate Eagle attended Pipestone between 1935 and 1945, just as Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier’s pluralist vision was reshaping the federal boarding school system to promote greater respect for Native cultures and traditions. But this book is hardly a dry history of the late boarding school era. Telling this story in the voice of his younger self, the author takes us on a delightful journey into his childhood and the inner world of the boarding school. Along the way, he shares anecdotes of dormitory culture, student pranks, and warrior games. Although Fortunate Eagle recognizes Pipestone’s shortcomings, he describes his time there as nothing less than “a little bit of heaven.” Were all Indian boarding schools the dispiriting places that history has suggested? This book allows readers to decide for themselves.
