It's Not About the Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance
by Brent KesselWhat do the latest financial thinking and ancient spiritual teachings reveal to us about financial freedom? Top financial advisor Brent Kessel insists financial success and security is "not about the money." Rather, it's about what's inside us—first understanding your emotional relationship to money, and only then taking action. It's Not About the Money expertly and compassionately guides you along the path to financial security and true peace of mind.Kessel, founder of two top wealth-management firms, has the inside scoop on the higher wisdom of personal finances, and he wants to share it with you. Through extensive experience as a financial advisor and spiritual seeker, Kessel has discovered that people need to understand their core financial story in order to make meaningful changes. Some of us are savers or caretakers, says Kessel, while others are pleasure seekers and spend like Hollywood stars; some people are idealists who place greater value on creativity or compassion than on financial security; some of us innocently believe our finances will work out without effort; and others obsess about building empires with lasting value. It's Not About the Money will help you identify your money type, providing information and resources as well as exercises and meditations to inspire a fresh approach to your relationship with money that will change your life.

by Sheila LloydHappy in his dream career as a restorer of exotic Italian sports cars, suddenly life comes to a screeching halt at age 46 with the question, “What now?!” Brian Lloyd journeys from fast track to fervent faith--learning to call on God in the midst of the storm:As I started realizing what was happening, I noticed I had lost function on the entire left side of my body. You know, when you're suddenly unable to move . . . the 911 call is for you and the rescue squad arrives--that's a sobering feeling. You can't even put yourself on the stretcher, and these strangers have to pick you up and move you. You see your wife trying to be strong, but you see the worry and despair in her eyes. I didn't even get to see my children. Just heard friends say they would stay with the kids. Then I’m watching the house--all I hold dear in the world, really--disappear through the back window of the ambulance as it pulls out of the driveway. I realized I might be facing the end of all I was and would be in this world. You never know how you'll react to that until you encounter such a situation--that's where the rubber meets the road. You're faced with the fact that this could very well be the end of your life as you know it. Either you're ok with that, or you're not. I said, “God, I'm yours. Either take me or use me. You're God; I'm not. I'm simply yours.” At that point God becomes very, very real to you!
It's Okay About It: Lessons from a Remarkable Five-Year-Old About Living Life Wide Open
by Lauren CasperPopular blogger Lauren Casper shares poignantly simple yet profound wisdom about removing the barriers we construct around our hearts and doing life full-on, all from the least expected source: her five-year-old son, Mareto. Five-year-old Mareto finds color and light in the ordinary happenings of every day and delights in beauty just waiting to be found. Those are lessons he shares, often unknowingly, with his mom, Lauren Casper. For Lauren, living with Mareto is a lot like playing the telephone game. He blurts out little phrases that have their origin in something he saw or heard, but by the time they make their way through his mind and back out of his mouth, they’ve transformed—often into beautiful truths about living a simple, authentic, love- and joy-filled life. From “it’s okay about it,” a simple reminder that even when life is painful or difficult, things will be okay because God promises never to leave or forsake his children, to “you’re making me feelings,” which teaches the importance of leaning into one’s emotions and, in doing so, sharing a piece of oneself with loved ones—Mareto’s simple yet profound wisdom is a reminder to embrace the broken beauty of life, to believe in a God bigger than human comprehension, and to love others even when it doesn’t make sense. For all those looking to recapture the faith, simplicity, wonder, hope, courage, and joy of life, It’s Okay About It provides a guide to look inward and live outward, to discover the most wide open and beautiful life possible.

by Mario MurilloHow can we ever hope for the world to get better if we keep limiting what God can do? After reading this book, you will step up with courage to be a part of the hope that the world needs against a destructive culture.

Mario Murillo draws on his recent experiences in California, where his ministry is experiencing souls being saved at a rate that surpasses even what was seen during the Jesus movement of the 1960s and &’70s. It&’s accelerating, and Murillo believes it&’s a worldwide trend that has us poised for an unprecedented opportunity as the body of Christ. We must seize this moment! In It's Our Turn Now, Murillo explains why now is the time for Christians to do the following:Explain why everything man has taught us is bankrupting our morals and our soulsDisplay the supernatural with integrity and clarity that we&’ve not seen beforeAnswer directly the questions that are truly on the hearts and minds of the human race We are no longer the remnant. There are millions of us, and it's time to stop believing the false reports and listen to what people around us are feeling. We have the answers a hungry world is dying for. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ can deliver us, and only the church can change the world through its power. It&’s our turn to step up and stop limiting God.
