The alarm sounds. Your feet hit the floor and carry you into another day. But what does that day hold for you? Will you be punching your timecard at work, catching up on TV at home, and crashing into bed before you rinse and repeat the next day? Or will you dare to dig deep and discover the incredible potential lying dormant within you? In Wide Awake, Erwin Raphael McManus challenges us to put an end to all the sleepwalking and settling, because each of us was created by God for a reason. He has called you to live as Jesus did - a heroic life, void of monotony, teeming with danger, adventure and the unknown. Living wide awake is about realizing that the world desperately needs you to lie up to your greatness. There is a future that needs to be created, and it is waiting for us all to wake up and get out of bed. The alarm has sounded, and it is time to shake off the slumber. It’s time to live, to create, to imagine, to dream… wide awake.

The search of your life is the search for your life. Erwin Raphael McManus’ Soul Cravings is an exploration of the human spirit; a journey into our deepest longings, our desires, our needs, our cravings, our souls. Our need for intimacy, meaning, and destiny point to the existence of God and our need to connect with Him. This book will deeply stir you to consider and chase after the spiritual implications of your souls' deepest longings.

This book is for those who are ready to join an uprising - a revolution of the soul that will change an ordinary life into an extraordinary one. It is only for those who want something more out of life, who desire to tap into the divine potential that was placed in them at their creation. You were in God’s imagination before you were ever born. All the talent, gifting, and creativity you possess was placed in you by God Himself. Can you imagine the things you could do if you tapped into the dreams God has for your life? In Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus boldly invites you to join the revolution. Find your true purpose and destiny in the pursuit of the passion and character of God. Be a part of a revolution that changes a life of imitation and mediocrity into one of passion and character… a radical revolt that will forever change the world.

We all have dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Why, then, do some of us realize our dreams and advance forward while others watch timidly from a distance and hope for a break? In Chasing Daylight, Erwin Raphael McManus reveals the direct relationship between passion and initiative. But how do we know that the dreams we pursue are God’s will for our life? How can we live with a clarity that frees us from apprehension and hesitation and catapults us forward with confidence and courage? Chasing Daylight is a call to live a life of blazing urgency. We have but one life. We are given one opportunity to pursue our dreams and fulfill our divine purpose. Every moment counts, and we must engage them with fierceness and zeal. Put an end to passive observation, paralyzed by the need for perfect opportunity, and start seizing the raw, untapped potential of your life with God. Are you willing to risk failure? Are you ready to get in the game? You may stumble but you will find yourself falling forward, propelling toward the God-inspired adventure He intends you to live.

In the pages of Arthritis Reversed, Dr. Mark Wiley will show you how to determine the underlying—and sometimes hidden—causes of your arthritic symptoms. These are actually obvious root causes and contributors that are only “hidden” because you have not yet been taught to look for and identify them. Dr. Wiley shows you how to do this and then how to use that knowledge to reduce your pain and halt or slow the progression of the condition, typically within 30 to 90 days.

Bringing hope and awareness to today’s parents, Brett sheds a light on how adults can be more discerning in their parenting strategies and better able to anticipate the needs of their children as they navigate the often challenging waters of adolescence.
