There are moments in life that decide your fate. They ripple into the future and dictate how you experience the world in the moments that follow; either positive and uplifting, dark and chaotic, or flat and dull. What if you could recognise these moments before they seized control of your life? What if you could use them to set sail for a better future? What if all moments, big and small, could be harnessed this way? In Deeper Mindfulness, Oxford Professor Mark Williams and Dr Danny Penman reunite to present a new eight-week guided meditation programme that takes mindfulness to the next level.

Life can be relentless, frantic and exhausting - but it doesn’t have to be this way. This is an introduction to Mindfulness, which reveals a set of simple yet powerful practices that you can incorporate into daily life to help break the cycle of anxiety, stress, unhappiness and exhaustion. Mindfulness is based on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which is recommended by the UK’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and is as effective as drugs for preventing depression.

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s experience begins the night he has chosen to embark on a four-year wandering retreat, slipping past the monastery gates. Alone for the first time in his life, he sets out into the unknown. His initial motivation is to step away from his life of privilege and to explore the deepest, most hidden aspects of his being, but what he discovers throughout his retreat - about himself and about the world around us - comes to define his meditation practice and teaching.

Mais do que uma técnica de meditação, a atenção plena (ou mindfulness) é um estilo de vida que consiste em estar aberto à experiência presente, observando seus pensamentos sem julgamentos, críticas ou elucubrações. Ao tomar consciência daquilo que sente, você se torna capaz de identificar sentimentos nocivos antes que eles ganhem força e desencadeiem um fluxo de emoções negativas - que é o que faz você se sentir estressado, irritado e frustrado.

Now, Coming to Our Senses is being repackaged into four smaller books, each focusing on a different aspect of mindfulness and each with a new foreword written by the author. In the first of these books, Meditation Is Not What You Think (which was originally published as part I and part II of Coming to Our Senses), Kabat-Zinn focuses on the 'what' and the 'why' of mindfulness - explaining why meditation is not for the 'fainthearted', how meditation can actually be a radical act of love and why paying attention is so supremely important.

This book serves three purposes: One, it is my personal journey of soul-exploration through religion, science, & spirituality, two, it is a resource guide for your own soul-experiencing, and three, it is a starting tool-belt for healing two of the biggest earth-consciousness creations: Victimhood and villainhood.

Wisdom, encouragement, and exhortation is contained in this audiobook. Not because of the author's brilliance, but because of the words of truth contained in the gospel of Mark. And just as the apostle Mark didn't draw any attention to himself, so also J. C. Ryle clearly and wonderfully directs his words and our thoughts toward the inspired words of scripture. If we truly love God, we will love his word; and the more we study his word, the more we will love God.

God has called you to be an agent of cultural change! America is experiencing a cultural revolution. Against the onslaught of conflicting political agendas, powerful media pressures, and radical ideologies, what should Christians think? How should we respond? In Counterculture, Pastor Duane Sheriff reveals how the "woke" movement has a form of godliness but denies the power of the cross. Instead of aligning with the dominant cultural trends, believers must rise up and forge a kingdom culture, countering critical race theory with "critical grace theory".

It’s inevitable that offenses will come! Jesus said offenses will come–whether it’s a subtle dig, obvious jab, or an action. Sometimes, they come from those closest to us, and they can destroy our peace, our relationships, and ultimately, our destiny. It’s easy to take offense, and that’s exactly what Jesus warned against.

Jeremiah Johnson is a church planter, pioneer of Maranatha Ministry School, best-selling author and globally recognized prophet. In Judgment on the House of God, Jeremiah presents an impassioned prophetic word that challenges Christians to live without impurity and compromise, not through the bondage of legalism, but through ignited, burning hearts of passion toward the Lord.

As you embark on this deeply personal journey of understanding the significance of truth, I urge you to consider its relevance in your own life. Is truth a guiding principle for you? If so, this exploration will resonate profoundly. It's a journey of challenges, as every truth must contend with adversaries. What are these adversaries? Lies. They wield significant influence, capable of shaping outcomes that impact us all. The result is the serpent’s and woman’s seeds, found in Genesis 3:15.

When keeping the rules in play, there is no “wiggle room”. When they are not, one can make the Bible say anything he wishes. Here is a good example: “Judas went out and hung himself. Do thou likewise. And what thou doeth, do quickly.” All of these statements are Bible-based, but they are not contextually based. The result is contradictions with other verses and deception that is misleading. You cannot believe in a false God or a false Jesus and have true salvation. If you don’t know who Jesus is, all the rest doesn’t matter.

This audiobook is the first volume of a series of straight-talking inspirational sermons by George DeFrehn. Book One explores the four Gospels. George has no canonical authority and carries no hidden agenda. These sermons are simply one person’s search for the truth of life, utilizing the word of God—the Bible. These thought-provoking sermons are one lay person’s version of the words and parables used by the itinerant preacher from Galilee, hopefully in an unvarnished version. George writes for all people, denominations, faiths, believers, and nonbelievers alike.
