Review

Tommy Newberry's message is simple, relevant, powerful, and timeless. In this New York Times bestseller, Newberry takes a single biblical principle and teaches us how one simple truth can magnify the joy we experience in our marriage, with our parenting, and in our life as a whole. Unfortunately, we live in a society bent on nursing old wounds and highlighting what is wrong with just about everything. As a result, we have grown accustomed to viewing the world, our lives, and ourselves through a lens of negativity and that negativity stands in direct contrast to the passionate, purpose-filled people God wants us to be. This is where The 4:8 Principle grabs our attention. First, the author skillfully persuades us to acknowledge the link between the thoughts we choose to think and the joy we experience. Next, he shows us how we can grow our potential for joy by refusing to dwell upon the problems and pressures that are enduring and inevitable. Finally, he challenges us to pay the price of joy by becoming "extraordinarily picky" about what we read, watch, and listen to on a consistent basis. The strength of the book, though, is in Newberry's ability to clearly explain how to put this principle into daily practice through a series of quick, easy and even fun adjustments. The 4:8 Principle is loaded with specific suggestions and helpful advice for going beyond the ordinary and experiencing life as it was meant to be. What are you thinking about?

 

 Research indicates that the average person thinks approximately 50,000 thoughts per day. Each thought moves you either toward your God-given potential or away.

 

 Unfortunately, we live in a society bent on nursing old wounds and highlighting what is wrong with just about everything. As a result, we have grown accustomed to viewing the world, our lives, and ourselves through a lens of negativity-and that negativity stands in direct contrast to the passionate, purpose-filled people God wants us to be.

 

 In Philippians 4:8, the apostle Paul challenges us to seek out and dwell on the positives in our lives. When used as a filter, this New Testament verse is the true secret to vibrant health, satisfying relationships, and lasting fulfillment.

 

 Whether you are at a low point or a high point in your life, The 4:8 Principle can help you experience joy by design-God's design. You'll quickly discover life as it was meant to be!

Table for One

Definitely a must-read for solo single or single-again, living alone! When was the last time you took you out somewhere really special with "you"? Has there been any time where you made reservations, dressed in your finest, and took "you" out to fine dine, for example? That's right. You in the sole company of you and that's absolutely great! We're not talking narcissism here-an unhealthy obsession with oneself. Quite to the contrary. Imagine being alone with you as your only choice of company, for large portions of time and being absolutely comfortable with it-and you're not an introvert. Table for One, please . . . and thank you! For the hundreds of thousands of individuals who just happen to live alone and also happen to find themselves, at the end of the day, most often alone, this life-changing book may well be the spark that will turn your life around. Reflect on the redemption of aloneness. Get ready to break down the barriers to success and victory often found in subconsciously accepting the many misconceptions that come with being/living alone. This book will dispel many of the myths that have been held through the years regarding what is or is not solo person appropriate. Who made up these rules anyway? Table for One will draw you away from the bondage of certain societal impositions to a brand-new freedom gained from the knowledge that you're not "by" yourself; you're "with" yourself. Find the beginnings of this freedom in the initial chapter "Debunking the Myths of Aloneness," and spend a little extra time on the chapter on "Getting Up from Down." It's a place that's likely to be visited from time to time but using the tools provided, going forward, the visits can be shorter lived. This book is a guide to successfully and victoriously going it alone, claiming your space, and feeling really, really, really good about it! Be sure to engage the thought-provoking "Quiet Time Queries" found at the end of each chapter and allow them to steer you to places within that you have been looking for, perhaps for a very long time. Be transported deeper and deeper into a revelatory premise that can revolutionize your life! Prepare for the paradigm shift toward success and victory by learning how the "going it a loner" undergoes a thinking readjustment from "by myself" to "with myself." You may want to check out the two scripturally-based messages found in in the appendix, adding just the right punch in providing very practical and spiritually-oriented steps for needed changes in our thinking process. Table for One: "Successfully and victoriously going it alone" is one of those books that you'll want to keep nearby to refer to again and again as you make the journey to inner peace with the words "I'm with me."

Eyes Wide Open

I had it all backwards. The main thing was not my love for God, but his love for me. And from that love I respond to God as one deeply flawed, yet loved. I’m not looking to prove my worth. I’m not searching for acceptance. I’m living out of the worth God already declares I have. I’m embracing his view of me and in the process discovering the person he created me to be. In Eyes Wide Open, Jud Wilhite invites you to discover the real you. Not the you who pretends to be perfect to satisfy everyone’s expectations. Not the you who always feels guilty before God. Not the you who secretly feels God forgives everyone else but only tolerates you. Not the you who looks in the mirror and sees a failure. The real you, loved and forgiven by God, living out of your identity in Christ. A travel guide through real spirituality from one incomplete person to another, Eyes Wide Open is a book of stories about following God in the messes of life, about broken pasts and our lifelong need for grace. It is a book about seeing ourselves and God with new eyes–eyes wide open to a God of love.
