Life-Changing Spiritual and Practical Strategies for True Transformation.

Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you need to change and trying to change, but failing to change. You feel stuck, no matter how hard you try. Craig Groeschel, author of Winning the War in Your Mind, knows what it''s like to be caught in that cycle. That was his own story—until he discovered these practical and biblical principles for experiencing lasting change.

In The Power to Change, Craig will help you find true change in your relationships, habits, and thoughts by unpacking:

A powerful blend of biblical wisdom and fascinating psychology, The Power to Change includes helpful exercises, real-life stories, and life-changing spiritual insights. Whether you are trying to lose weight, breathe new life into your marriage, read the Bible more, get out of debt, or give up an addiction, Craig''s step-by-step, time-tested strategies will equip you to start living the life God wants for you.

We all love the benefits of technology. But even with the upsides, many of us suspect there are negative consequences beyond our control. The more we interact online, the more we crave face-to-face intimacy. The more we compare ourselves with others, the less satisfied we are. The more filtered our lives become, the more challenging it is to be authentic.

In this small group video-based study, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shows how we can stay engaged with social media while still keeping our eyes focused on Jesus. In five sessions, he reveals how we can rediscover our understanding of the biblical principles life with Christ brings–contentment, intimacy, authenticity, compassion, and rest–and put God first in our social media saturated world.

This study guide includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and personal study and reflection materials for in between sessions.

Sessions include:

Designed for use with the Liking Jesus Video Study (sold separately).

In this twelve-lesson workbook, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel pairs modern psychology and biblical teaching to reveal how to win the war in your mind and restore daily peace in your life.

What you think shapes who you are.

If your thoughts are out of control, your life will be as well. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true.

In recent years, a discipline of psychology called cognitive behavioral therapy has gained popularity. This discipline is rooted in an understanding that many problems--from eating disorders to relational challenges, addictions, and even some forms of depression--are rooted in negative patterns of thinking. Treating those problems begins with changing that thinking.

This has many parallels with Scripture. In Paul''s letter to the Philippians, he writes about turning our thoughts to certain types of things (truth, purity, loveliness...) and putting them into practice so that we experience God''s peace.

In this workbook, Craig goes deeper into the principles outlined in his book (sold separately) to reveal the strategies he has discovered that will change your mind and, by extension, your life for the long-term. Each lesson includes biblical exploration, reflection and application questions, and practical exercises to help you:

God has something better for your life than your old ways of thinking. It''s time to change your mind so God can change your life.

Do your thoughts and your life feel out of your control? Have you found yourself in a spiral of unhealthy thinking? Let God''s truth become your battle plan to win the war in your mind!

As teens, it can feel difficult to find a way out of our bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns, too often feeling like our thoughts are running out of control and finding ourselves off-track from where we want to be. Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel deeply understands this daily battle against self-doubt and negative thinking, and in this book adapted from his bestselling Winning the War in Your Mind, Groeschel explains how you too can challenge your thinking and change the course of your life for the better, revealing the strategies he’s found that help.

Drawing upon Scripture and the latest findings of brain science, Groeschel lays out practical strategies that will free you from the grip of harmful, destructive thinking and enable you to live the life of joy and peace that God intends you to live. With all-new stories, science that explores the unique realities of how the teenage brain is wired, and visually-engaging callouts and short sections that appeal to teenage readers, Winning the War in Your Mind for Teens will help you:

God has something better for your life. It''s time to change your mind so God can change your life.

Time-Tested Strategies for True Transformation.

Nothing is more frustrating than knowing you want to change—and need to change—but repeatedly fail to change. You''ve made commitments and set goals. You''ve resolved to do something about the issue—whether you want to lose weight, read the Bible more, overcome an addiction, or get out of debt. Yet, so far, nothing has worked, and you wonder if you''re even capable of change.

If this sounds like your story, then it''s time to change the way you think about change.

In The Power to Change pack (which includes the book and the accompanying workbook), pastor Craig Groeschel, author of Winning the War in Your Mind, blends biblical wisdom with up-to-date psychology to help you learn how to master the habits that lead to true change. In each chapter and section, you''ll gain practical tools that will help you:

The Power to Change pack offers you a clear path with practical tools, exercises, spiritual insights, and applications to help you live the life that God created you to experience. It''s time to rely on a greater power source than your will and determination. It''s time to actually change.

This pack includes:

In this workbook companion to the book Lead Like It Matters, discover the trick to keeping the momentum going in your church, ministry, or organization.

It has been rightly said that "Jesus is the hope of the world." While we can never argue against the importance of the power of the risen Son of God, it is also true that "the local church is the hope of the world." After all, the church is the body of Christ. Jesus manifested himself through the church. And we, as the church, are chosen and called by God to be light in the darkness and give hope to the hopeless.

For this reason, it is critical for the body of Christ—both pastors and laypeople alike—to learn how to lead like it matters. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shares what he has learned in more than twenty-six years of leading LifeChurch. The church began in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment, but people were drawn there because they sensed a powerful, life-changing force that Craig calls "it." While exactly what "it" is can be difficult to define, Craig reveals seven factors that contribute to it (or at least don’t kill it):

Sessions include: 

Craig also unpacks three important realms that every leader must master: (1) prioritizing mindset over model, (2) creating systems that empower it, and (3) finding a balanced way to lead to stay centered around it. While adopting these seven factors and realms will not guarantee a church will have that "it" factor, it will certainly lead that church toward it. It will help all of us lead like it matters.

The Quality of Our Decisions Determines the Quality of Our Lives.

Why is it so hard to make good choices and avoid decision-making that we later regret? What happens between our good intentions and the choices we actually make in the moment? Is there a reliable way to break the cycle and make wiser decisions?

In the Think Ahead Workbook (which accompanies the Think Ahead book), Craig Groeschel draws profound connections between the truths of Scripture and the latest research in human behavioral psychology to help you unlock the power of "pre-deciding." Learn how to position yourself to make the choices you really want to make and avoid the missteps and bad decisions.

Key Takeaways from this Workbook:

Are you ready to make God-honoring decisions and live the life you really want to live? This official workbook will provide you with a clear biblical path on how to get there and think ahead.

Your doubts are an invitation to a deeper faith.

Have you ever felt alone in your doubts? Or like you''re the only one with questions about your beliefs? If so, you''re in good company. Many heroes of the faith struggled with doubt—including C. S. Lewis, Martin Luther, and Mother Teresa.

The good news is that having doubts about your faith doesn''t mean you''re not a faithful follower of Jesus. In fact, doubt indicates a desire for authentic faith. Often, it is the struggle of confronting your doubts that will lead you to a greater understanding of what you believe—and a deeper faith.

In The Benefit of Doubt Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel draws on scriptural truths, biblical characters, and church history to lead you through your doubts. You''ll dig deeper into some of the tough-to-answer questions that believers in Christ often ask, including:

If you''re ready to face and embrace your doubts, this workbook will provide you with thought-provoking questions and opportunities to understand your doubts and find deeper faith in the truth.

This workbook is a companion to The Benefit of Doubt by Craig Groeschel. In each of the ten sessions, you''ll examine a passage of Scripture that addresses common doubts, and then you''ll get to assess your own beliefs about these topics.

Craig Groeschel (www.lifechurch.tv) and his church have hosted an international multichurch campaign called One Prayer, a month-long concerted focus on unifying the many different, diverse churches participating by praying together and serving their local communities.

In 2009, One Prayer campaign attracted over two thousand churches and over one million church members. Many of these churches are high-profile evangelical churches with pastors who are also successful authors and speakers. The campaign continues to attract interest from more and more churches and ministries. The 2010 campaign, scheduled for June, is expected to grow by 50 percent. This compilation book features chapters by seventeen passionate church leaders, including Andy Stanley, Francis Chan, Jentezen Franklin, Perry Noble, Steven Furtick, and others.

How to overcome the three forces that work against us daily: toxic influences, toxic emotions, and toxic behaviors.

Why do so many well-meaning Christians take one spiritual step forward, then slide back two? Why do we long for more of God in our lives and yet feel further and further away from him? What''s holding us back from growing in this relationship that we claim is our main priority?

Every day we are surrounded by secondhand spiritual toxins—influences, emotions, and behaviors—that threaten to draw us away from Jesus Christ. But when we recognize the toxins that assault us and discover ways to live in this world without absorbing them into our souls, we can experience genuine spiritual growth.

With a fresh look at the Word of God, vulnerable honesty, and his trademark humor, bestselling author of Winning the War in Your Mind Craig Groeschel unpacks ways to strengthen your spiritual health and your positive influence on others. He will help you to:

More than an insightful look at the negative aspects of our day-to-day culture, this grace-filled guide will challenge you out of complacency and into a life of clean, pure, and focused living based on the freeing standard of God''s holiness.

Discover your true identity in Christ.

Many of us live for the approval of others. We let the world decide who we are, or we look to those around us to discover who we think we’d like to be. The problem is that living for what people think of you is the quickest way to forget what God thinks of you.

In Altar Ego, pastor and author of Winning the War in Your Mind Craig Groeschel will show you how to sacrifice your broken ideas of approval-based identity on the altar of God’s truth and become who you were meant to be in Christ.

You''ll learn how to:

Once you know your true identity and are growing in Christ-like character, then you can behave accordingly with bold behavior, bold prayers, bold words, and bold obedience.

Altar Ego reveals who God says you are, and then calls you to live up to it. Rather than living a timid, halfhearted, shallow cultural Christianity, you''ll boldly live in the confidence of the God who believes in you.
