Growing older is inevitable and, as we often say, it beats the alternative. But just because we age does not mean we must give in to a slow deterioration of our bodies, minds, social circles, and interests. It doesn't mean we need to give up on our dreams, goals, or aspirations. In fact, as people live longer and healthier into old age, we need to decide what we want to do with all the extra years we've been given! In Living Strong, Finishing Well, Dr. David Stoop draws upon his more than 80 years on the planet and his decades of counseling, speaking, and writing to show you how to live every moment to its fullest until you're finally called home. He shows you how to be yourself, continue the search for meaning, stay humble, build on your friendships, develop resilience, stay teachable, and more as you learn to accept the gifts that come with growing older and wiser in a world that needs what you have to give.

This book is Volume I of three volumes containing a collection of Bible topics allowing the reader to easily identify and with little or no effort commit to memory exactly what God expects of them from within His written Word. Although this will not necessarily bring about the reader's ability to remember precisely where each of these topics appears in the Bible's book, chapter, and verse, it will, after reading enough of these topics, make their daily Bible reading much easier and so much more enjoyable due to their new-found understanding. The reader will also discover when studying topic by topic they will remember the subject matter much better than when these particular subjects flew by them at lightning speed while reading along in their Bible. These self-contained Bible studies work for everyone. It doesn't matter where one stands in their faith or how much they know about the Bible, these studies will work. For those who are well-rooted in the Word, these studies will work for them as a review; those who own an average understanding of God's Word will be able to use these studies not only as a review but also for learning something that God has said and they had previously missed. Those who know very little about the Word of God will be able to learn a great deal from these topical studies since they are self-contained and require no explanation because all commentary is backed up with book, chapter, and verse from the inspired Word of God. Those who know nothing about the Word and are seeking to learn about God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, their salvation, and the existence of this spiritual world they have heard so much about will now be able to learn straight from His Word right in the comfort of their living room whatever it is they want to know.

Few publications have changed the landscape of contemporary psychology more than Richard Lazarus and Susan Folkman's landmark work, Stress, Appraisal, and Coping. Its publication in 1984 set the course for years of research on the dynamic processes of psychological stress and coping in human beings. Now more than a quarter-century later, The Oxford Handbook of Stress, Health, and Coping pushes the field even further with a comprehensive overview of the newest and best work in this dynamic subject. Edited by Susan Folkman and comprising chapters by the field's leading scientists, this new volume details the expanded knowledge base that has emerged from extensive research on stress and coping processes over the last several decades. Featuring 22 topic-based chapters -- including two by Folkman -- this volume offers unprecedented coverage of the two primary research topics related to stress and coping: mitigating stress-related harms and sustaining well-being in the face of stress. Both topics are addressed within their relevant contexts, including chronic illness, calamity, bereavement, and social hardship. The Oxford Handbook of Stress, Health, and Coping is an essential reference work for students, practitioners, and researchers across the fields of health psychology, medicine, and palliative care.

This collection bundles two of popular author Chuck Colson’s classics into one volume for a great value! The Good Life What constitutes “the good life?” Chuck Colson explores the ways in which people define and live “the pursuit of happiness.” Colson uses fascinating real-life stories to illustrate the philosophies and worldviews by which individuals seek the good life. Colson speaks directly and revealingly about his Watergate years, and he examines the beliefs and assumptions that make up the fabric of our lives. The Good Life searches for answers to the questions we all ask: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I make my life count? How Now Shall We Live? True Christianity goes far beyond John 3:16—beyond private faith and personal salvation. It is nothing less than a framework for understanding all of reality. It is a worldview. In How Now Shall We Live?, the 2000 Gold Medallion winner for best book about Christianity and society, Chuck Colson and Nancy Pearcey show that the great spiritual battle today is a cosmic struggle between competing worldviews. Through inspiring true stories and compelling teaching, they demonstrate how to Expose the false views and values of modern culture Live a more fulfilling life the way God created us to live Contend for the faith by understanding how nonbelievers think Build a society that reflects biblical principles In short, How Now Shall We Live? will give you the confidence you need to make a difference in the world today and most of all in the lives of people around you.

With deadpan humor and refreshing honesty, Brant Hansen will empower you to experience the joy and freedom of becoming unoffendable. Whether you're scrolling through social media, sitting around the dinner table, or watching the news, it's wrong not to be offended at the way things are in the world right now—right?! Bestselling author Brant Hansen has a different idea. What if "righteous anger" isn't actually biblical? What if anger isn't an effective response to injustice anyway? God does not need you to be angry. Instead, Christ calls us to do something radical and countercultural: Let go of your anger and forgive. In this six-session video Bible study (video access included), Hansen shares practical ways and biblical reasons to let go of anger and your "right" to be offended. Being unoffendable is a choice, and one that will help you flourish in the way God intended.
