No More Excuses, by Tony Evans

Be the Man God Made You To Be

Men have no more excuses for not being the man God wants them to be. Stop trying to run away from your reality, wishing and hoping.

Many men are not equipped to face the emotional pain and spiritual setbacks that come our way. Most of us can handle the physical knockdown of life, but it takes more guts to handle the emotional and spiritual struggles because those are what draw us closer to God. No More Excuses if filled with encouraging advice to bring us through each day as we strive toward spiritual maturity.

From Glory to Shame, by Samuel L. Madison

The rise and fall of black America and how she can rise again.

Black America was once in the spotlight, so to speak, but over the years that spotlight has faded. Samuel Madison shows how we can point the spotlight back on black America and once again give her back the glory she once had. Just as Hosea preached to the people to turn away from their wicked ways so that they can once again receive the blessing of God, Madison is encouraging black America to turn away from their wicked ways and turn back to God so that He can lift them up again and thus deliver them from shame to glory.

Reposition Yourself, by T. D. Jakes

Living Life Without Limits

Bishop T. D. Jakes reminds us that God owns everything as he recounts to us his own childhood of poverty to now leader of the nation’s largest church—all through faith. Faith, he recalls for us, “is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” He took this verse to heart, and changing his mentality–repositioned himself–to receive God’s spiritual and material blessings. He encourages his readers to do the same—have faith in God, but at the same time, doing their part and accepting their responsibility in whatever situation they are in. Citing biblical verses and observations by successful people, Jakes offers practical advice on how to put your faith into action. If you want to mature in your daily walk with the Lord, this book is for you, as a successful walk with the Lord is one of faith.
