About this book

God gives us purpose in each relational season we experience: singleness, dating, engagement, and marriage. Discover how to thrive in each one in the updated edition of the bestselling Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, now with a new chapter. In a society where everyone is supposedly more connected, why do more people than ever feel so lonely? Even as marriage rates decline, studies show that most single adults still hope to get married. But how can we navigate life and love in this disconnected culture? Has social media eroded the institutions that brought us together—and the deeper emotional intimacy they provided? Pastor and author Ben Stuart guides you in navigating the four stages of a relational life and embracing the intentions and truths God has established for each one. This updated edition includes an additional chapter on how to end dating relationships well. As you embark on this journey, you will discover how to: Leverage singleness to make an impact for the kingdom of God Pursue dating with clarity and purity Break up in a healthy and respectful way Use the season of engagement wisely to prepare for marriage Maximize your life as a married couple for shared mission Continually seek God and His will throughout each stage Discover how to embrace God's design, invest your life in what matters most, and find meaning in whatever season of life you're in.

Seven Decisions that Determine Personal Success

Andy Andrews

A New York Times bestseller with over 1.3 million copies sold! Only a few months ago, he was a successful executive. Now he’s a desperate man. Join David Ponder on an incredible journey to discover the Seven Decisions for success that can turn any life around, no matter how hopeless a situation seems. Forty-six-year-old David Ponder feels like a total failure. Once a high-flying executive in a Fortune 500 company, he now works a part-time, minimum wage job and struggles to support his family. Suddenly an even greater crisis hits: his daughter becomes ill, and he can’t even afford to get her the medical help she needs. When David’s car skids on an icy road, he wonders if he even cares to survive the crash. But an extraordinary experience awaits David Ponder. He suddenly finds himself traveling back in time, meeting leaders and heroes at crucial moments in their lives—from Abraham Lincoln to Anne Frank. As David speaks with each of these historical figures, they share their personal philosophies with him. By the time his journey is over, he has received seven secrets for success—and a second chance. Among these crucial decisions for success are: The buck stops here, and I am responsible for my past and my future I will seek wisdom and be a servant to others I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit, and I will forgive myself Today I will choose to be happy and be the possessor of a grateful spirit The message is simple: Life is about choices. While we have little control over the events that occur in our lives, success is determined by the choices we make daily.

Mere Christianity

C.S. Lewis

"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis is a seminal work that explores the foundations of Christian faith and morality with intellectual rigor and clarity. Originally delivered as a series of radio talks during World War II, the book seeks to present a common ground of beliefs that unite Christians across various denominations. Divided into four parts, Lewis begins by making a case for the existence of a moral law, a universal standard that points towards a higher power. He then delves into the nature of God, the concept of Christian behavior, and the transformative power of faith. Lewis employs logical reasoning, insightful anecdotes, and a conversational style that makes complex theological ideas accessible to a broad audience. "Mere Christianity" has had a profound impact on Christian apologetics and philosophy, becoming a classic in the genre. Lewis's exploration of morality, virtue, and the essence of Christianity transcends its wartime origins, remaining relevant and influential in the ongoing discourse about the Christian faith. This enduring work continues to engage readers with its timeless insights into the nature of belief and the foundations of Christian thought.
