The Characteristic Differences of the Four Gospels
by Andrew JukesThe Characteristic Differences of the Four Gospels by Andrew Jukes is a thought-provoking exploration of the unique themes, perspectives, and purposes of the four canonical Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jukes examines how each Gospel presents a distinct portrayal of the life, ministry, and identity of Jesus Christ, offering readers a richer understanding of the multifaceted nature of the Gospel message.Jukes argues that the differences between the Gospels are not contradictions but intentional variations that serve to highlight different aspects of Christ's mission and the nature of God’s work among humanity. He delves into the symbolic meaning behind each Gospel’s structure, tone, and emphasis, showing how they reflect different dimensions of Christ’s character: Matthew’s focus on Jesus as the Messiah and fulfillment of prophecy, Mark’s portrayal of the suffering servant, Luke’s emphasis on compassion and inclusiveness, and John’s theological insights into the divine nature of Christ.Throughout the book, Jukes reflects on how these differences are essential to the full expression of the Christian faith. He offers spiritual insights that encourage readers to see the Gospels not merely as historical accounts but as distinct lenses through which the mystery of Christ is revealed. His analysis invites readers to explore the spiritual depth and harmony within the Gospels, enhancing their appreciation for the diversity and unity found in Scripture.The Characteristic Differences of the Four Gospels is a valuable resource for students of the Bible, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the New Testament. With clarity and reverence, Jukes provides fresh perspectives on familiar texts, inspiring readers to engage with the Gospels in new and meaningful ways. This book serves as both a study guide and a devotional tool, offering insights that remain relevant for those desiring to deepen their faith and knowledge of the life of Christ.

The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel
by Brendon BurchardSince the fateful night of his car accident, Brendon has lived a fully charged life, and he’s helped millions of people around the globe transform their lives and feel more alive, engaged, and fulfilled.In The Charge, Brendon argues that the only way to measurably improve the quality of your life is to learn how to activate the very ten drives that make you most human. These drives are your desires for more control, competence, congruence, caring, connection, change, challenge, creative expression, contribution, and consciousness. These drives shape everything you think, feel, and do in life, so understanding and mastering them is critical to your success and happiness. Strategically activating these drives on a consistent basis is the fastest path to living a fully charged life. Harnessing our human drives is not easy; if it were, we wouldn’t see so much restlessness in the world. That’s why Brendon has devised what he calls the true “activators” of human experience—a series of powerful yet simple actions you can take to radically increase your levels of energy, engagement, and fulfillment in all areas of your life. What Brendon uncovers in The Charge will surprise and challenge you. It turns out that most of the ways we seek to meet our human drives are actually counterproductive. We all want more control, for example, but seeking to have more certainty in our daily lives or to control other people will actually decrease our levels of control (and happiness). We have a deep desire for change, too, but we often fail to make the right kinds of change that would make us feel more alive and in command of our lives. In The Charge, Brendon helps us overcome these mistakes and illuminates the path for strategically and intelligently activating our 10 human drives so that we can have the one thing we all want: more life in our lives! Brendon Burchard is the founder of High Performance Academy and author of the #1 New York Times and #1 USA TODAY bestselling book The Millionaire Messenger. He is also the author of Life’s Golden Ticket and one of the top motivation and high performance trainers in the world. His famous training events and videos inspire millions of people to find their charge, share their voice, and make a greater difference.
Charge and the Energy Body: The Vital Key To Healing Your Life, Your Chakras, And Your Relationships
by Anodea JudithWe all know what it’s like to have a “charge” about something. It’s a feeling of excitement, fear, sexual arousal, or irritation. But what we don’t currently know is how to use charge for the behaviors we want to create. Charge is a word for the basic life force running through us. This force is crucial if we are to meet the challenges of difficult situations, heal past wounds and traumas, and manage the stress of modern life. Even more, it is essential for understanding how to master your own life force and become all you can be. This book makes an important contribution to the growing field of Energy Medicine, by looking at charge as the interface between mind and body, and the missing ingredient in Mind-Body healing. It brings the reader into a deep intimacy with their own life force, as well as an understanding of how charge runs their relationships, their children, their clients, and patients. It examines how we can become “overcharged” or “undercharged” and how to bring about balance through practices of charging and discharging. Each chapter gives simple exercises to put these principles into practice. World-renowned teacher, somatic therapist, best-selling author, and advanced yoga teacher, Anodea Judith, Ph.D., addresses all this and more in her groundbreaking book on mastering the life force. Taken from her decades of teaching on the subject and her doctoral work in Mind-Body medicine, this book contributes something entirely new to the literature on healing self and others.

Chasing a God You Don't Want to Catch
by Darren WilsonWe Are So Quick to Say We Want &“More&” of God, but Is That Really True?As strange as it may sound, the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and potentially the most feared person in Christianity may very well be God Himself. Even seasoned Christians often view God as frightening, untrustworthy, and distant. But nothing could be further from the truth.Author and filmmaker Darren Wilson takes a funny yet poignant romp through Scripture, revealing a long-time Christian&’s hang-ups and fears of a God he was supposed to love. Wilson looks at questions such as: Is God selfish, silent, distant, and constantly disappointed in you?How do you love someone you can&’t see and who has the power to punish you at any moment?How can a loving God throw people into hell simply for not believing in Him?Wilson encourages readers to be honest with themselves and with God. He challenges us to face the things many Christians struggle with but are too afraid to talk about because everyone else seems to have this faith thing figured out. He believes God isn&’t afraid of our questions, doubts, fears, or even our anger. The secret to peace and friendship with God lies in understanding who He really is.

Chasing Grace: What the Quarter Mile Has Taught Me about God and Life
by Sanya Richards-Ross“For as long as I can remember, life has been measured in seconds. The fewer, the better.”Most people equate success with having more, but Sanya’s quest was always for less. She started running track as a little girl in Jamaica and began competing when she was only seven. At 31 she’s had a career’s worth of conditioning to run a 400-meter race in 50 seconds, hopefully 49, or even better, 48.When she started training with her coach, Clyde Hart, they divided her race into four phases: push, pace, position, poise, and with the inherent prayer. For years Sanya worked to hone every phase in practice so that when it came time to race, her body would respond as her mind instinctively transitioned from one phase to the next. As she got older and embraced a life that measures more than just a number on the time clock, she has realized the genius of this strategy for not just racing the 400 meters, but for living her best life.Sanya shares triumphant as well as heartbreaking stories as she reveals her journey to becoming a world-class runner. From her childhood in Jamaica to Athens, Beijing and London Olympics, readers will find themselves inspired by the unique insights she’s gained through her victories and losses, including her devastating injury during the 2016 Olympic Trials forcing career retirement just weeks before Rio. Sanya demonstrates how even this devastating loss brought her closer to the ultimate goal of becoming all God created her to be.”Sometimes you think you are chasing a gold medal, but that’s not what you are chasing. You’re racing to become the best version of yourself.”

Chasing Lakes: Love, Science, and the Secrets of the Arctic

Today, her love for these bodies of water have taken her to the deepest reaches of Alaska and Siberia, where she is undertaking pioneering research on methane emissions. Chasing Lakes is her story: one-part adventure—complete with shipwrecks and treacherous treks through Arctic storms by helicopter, snowmobile, and foot to measure greenhouse gases—part coming-of-age tale, as she searches for belonging in the wake of a broken childhood, and part spiritual quest to find a wholeness science cannot fill.Somewhere between the remote, frozen landscapes of Siberia and her rough cabin in Alaska, she discovers her spiritual and emotional home when she meets Peter, a bright and humble Minnesota farmer who reinvigorates her faith and helps ground her. Yet finding love and fulfillment brings its own challenges. The closer she gets to having the family she’s always wanted, the further she’s pushed from the important field work that is her passion.Chasing Lakes is a chronicle of a woman seeking truth, adventure, scientific discovery, family, love, and grace. Both an eye-opening look from the frontlines of the climate crisis and an intimate portrait of a brilliant scientist, Chasing Lakes is memoir writing at its finest: beautiful, complex, revelatory, and moving.
