Curiosity is such a childish word, right? Not so fast. Just because we grow up, it doesn't mean we should lose our wonder about the world or the people around us. When we do, we lose so much, because curious is how God made us to be. Without curiosity a Christian's life is incomplete. His relationship with God is incomplete. His connections to others are incomplete. He doesn't know how to interact with the world around him - politics, media, art, entertainment, science, and so much more simply fly past or overwhelm him.

Break free from this subtle destroyer and reclaim a life of passion and purpose. Pythons have an interesting way of killing their prey. They constrict it until it can no longer breathe, literally suffocating the life out of it. In the spirit realm Satan often works in the same way, slowly slithering his way into our lives, attempting to choke the very life out of us. The python spirit can squeeze the joy out of your worship and prayers. It can pressure you to keep quiet when God wants you to speak up.

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) is one of the most underrated authors in history. Philosophically, he is not on the same level as Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, but when it comes to personal development, he is one of the best. Montaigne displayed a remarkable curiosity in his literary work, to which he devoted the last two decades of his life. He researched classical authors, taking copious notes, and seeking to draw conclusions of universal value. His research revolved around a single goal, namely, find recipes for happiness. This book presents Montaigne's life and works, emphasising the ...

We live in a culture that's all about self, becoming the best "me" I can be instead of becoming like Jesus. This me-centered message affects every area of our lives - our friendships, our marriages, even our faith - and it breaks each one in different ways.

In this book, Sharon Hodde Miller invites us into a bigger, Jesus-centered vision - one that restores our freedom and inspires us to live for more.

In our constant search for a life filled with blessing and abundance, we often follow our human instinct - and then wonder why we come up short. God always has a better idea.

Each chapter unpacks the opposite-life principles that begin with our way of thinking and yield miraculous results.

Jabez came to a point in his life where he chose to make a break from his past identity to change his future. He was not a total failure, nor a total success. He knew greater blessings were available if he could break through the pain. Pain deforms our identity and steals our resolve to live a dream of more. Pain can be instructive to learning as well as corrective to undesirable behavior, but it also confiscates honor from the core of our identity that is essential for living a purposeful destiny. When our dreams encounter pain, unbelief mocks us, our future, and our faith.
