New Releases by Lysa Terkeurst

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.

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.

Where there''s a lack of trust, there''s a lack of peace. Broken trust can send us spiraling: Can anyone really be trusted? What if distrust is actually the wisest choice to make? What do I do with my doubts about God when He allows bad things to happen? Are there biblical answers for any of this? Lysa TerKeurst understands this kind of deep wrestling and has asked these same hard questions in the midst of her own relational heartbreaks and uncontrollable circumstances. But after thousands of hours of counseling intensives and theological research, Lysa has discovered how crucial it is to develop the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don''t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.

La confianza es el oxígeno de todas las relaciones humanas. Pero también es lo que te hace tropezar después de haberte quemado. Puede que un amigo te decepcione constantemente. Un líder o una organización que respetas resulta ser diferente de lo que aparenta. Tu cónyuge te engaña. Un familiar te traiciona.

Good Boundaries and Goodbyes New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst helps readers stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships by showing them biblical ways to set boundaries--and, when necessary, say goodbye--without losing the best of who they are. You've listened to all the advice. But you're beginning to realize that if the other person doesn't want to change what's broken in the relationship, you can't change it on your own. So now what? Lysa TerKeurst understands this dance with dysfunction and wants to be your insightful, compassionate friend who will teach you that it isn't unloving to set a boundary, and it isn't unchristian to say goodbye. You'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea. Good Boundaries and Goodbyes will help you: Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you based on how responsible they'll be with that access Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized scriptures that perpetuate unhealthy dynamics in difficult relationships Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with realistic scripts and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns. Be equipped to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive and is no longer sustainable

When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we''re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It''s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try. In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, you can join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God. Features: Personal study to be completed between the 6 group sessions Teaching videos, approximately 15-20 minutes each, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book Leader helps for group discussion Benefits: Identify and challenge doubts in the one true God. Explore how the Old Testament applies to our lives today. Learn to trust in the goodness and faithfulness of God. Video Sessions: Session 1: Introduction (25:41)--We can so easily begin to trust in things and people other than God. The people of Israel experienced this time and again. Lysa walks us through the history of God''s people leading up to the moment they asked to be like everyone else and have a king. As we''ll see in this study of the ancient kings of the Bible, earthly kings pale in comparison to the King of kings, the only One worthy of our trust. Session 2: Solomon (23:23)--Lysa tells the story of Solomon, who started out his reign in his father, David''s, footsteps, but very quickly fell out of faithfulness to the one true God. Through relationships with many foreign women, Solomon''s affections became misplaced and he built altars to foreign gods and placed his trust in what he could control. Misplaced affections got between Solomon and God and continue to be a temptation for us today. Session 3: Jeroboam (19:21)--King Jeroboam misaligned his priorities, idolizing a golden calf rather than completely trusting in God and waiting on Him. In this week''s discussion, Lysa teaches us that a departure happens when we think too lowly of God and too highly of ourselves. But when we think highly of God, we think rightly of ourselves. Session 4: Ahab (18:56)--Lysa talks about the consequences of sin this session as we dive in to the story of King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Just as Ahab''s blood spilled as a consequence of sin, Jesus also had to bleed in consequence of our sin. But unlike the end of Ahab''s story, our story is victorious through Christ. Session 5: Hezekiah (16:26)--Lysa discusses one of Hezekiah''s biggest accomplishments. Did he understand his accomplishment as evidence of God''s faithfulness, or did he just accept it as evidence of his own brilliance? Hezekiah failed to check his heart and accepted all the praise for himself, rather than giving the glory to God and His trustworthiness. See how his story can help us reevaluate things in our own lives, so we can kneel in greater submission to the King of kings. Session 6: Josiah (14:58)--Lysa looks at the tumultuous history of the temple in Jerusalem. The temple has been built and destroyed, rebuilt and renewed only to be destroyed again. While earthly kings and kingdoms and temples all pass away, we serve the trustworthy God who is making all things new.

Discover what the Bible says about forgiveness and how to find the peace that comes from embracing it. This video Bible study with bestselling author and teacher Lysa TerKeurst (video streaming included) is for those of you who have been hurt by others, who feel stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain. Forgiveness is a major part of the Christian faith. 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 explored in this six-session video Bible study. Lysa will walk with you on a step-by-step process—through biblical answers, deep empathy, and the therapeutic insight that comes from her personal experiences—toward the grace of forgiveness and the freedom from the pain of past wrongs. This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including: The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader''s guide.

But sore losers, bragging winners, and bad attitudes are taking the fun straight out of the contests! Just when the day seems ruined, someone steps in and turns things around. Finally, Lulu and Max must decide who will be leader of the forest. Their choice is a big surprise, but it feels just right. Through Lulu’s love for her animal friends—no matter what—children will discover that their value comes from who they are, not how they perform. This gentle and playful story will help kids develop the skills they need to win at the most important parts of life: friendship and forgiveness.

In this newly revised and condensed version of Made to Crave, Lysa encourages you to: Break the cycle of "I''ll start again Monday" and start taking steps toward consistency that lasts Stop agonizing over numbers on the scale and make peace with your body Replace rationalizations that lead to failure with wisdom that leads to victory Reach your healthy goals and grow closer to God through the process This is not a "how-to" book.
