Understanding The Purpose And Power Of Authority
$16.99
We often view authority as something oppressive, stifling, even fearful. And sometimes–perhaps too often–those impressions bear out in reality. We live in an era of overstepped boundaries and abuse in many fields of life, so that authority has become the enemy.
We may also have a limited idea of what authority means. Even with legitimate authority, we may believe that only people who reach a certain “level” in life can exercise leadership, not thinking we could ever be called to a place of authority ourselves.
In Understanding the Purpose and Power of Authority, best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe offers a positive response to today’s leadership crisis. He turns widely accepted but counterfeit concepts of authority upside down. Then, he reveals God’s original intent, showing us how to live in the freedom of our own personal authority, deal with negative authority, and respond positively to the inherent authority of others.
This culture-transforming book explains that we were all created for authority. It is what we’re authorized to do according to our inborn purposes. In various ways, we are also answerable to the authority of others. This is actually a benefit to us, freeing us to become who we were created to be and enabling us to function, grow, and prosper in life.
Dr. Munroe calls authority “the beautiful principle” because it is a means of providing the resources, protection, refreshment, growth, accomplishment, fulfillment, and satisfaction we all need in life. This book invites you to develop your own personal authority so you may fulfill your unique purpose for the betterment of our world.

Forgive : Why Should I And How Can I
$29.00Add to cartPastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller outlines the reasons why forgiveness has to be a central part of everyone’s lives.
Forgiving anyone in a meaningful way is one of the hardest things a person has to do. If you do not, resentment and vengeance begin to consume you. It is nearly impossible to move past transgression without forgiveness, but few people have the resources and the tools to forgive others fully and move on with their lives. Forgiveness is an essential skill, a moral imperative, and a religious belief that cuts right to the core of what it means to be human. In Forgive, Timothy Keller shows readers why it is so important and how to do it, explaining in detail the steps you need to take in order to move on without sacrificing justice or your humanity.

American Immigrant : A Novel
$17.00Add to cartA Colombian American journalist tries to save her career by taking an assignment somewhere she never thought she’d go–Colombia–in this heartwarming debut novel about rediscovering our family stories.
Twenty-five-year-old Melanie Carvajal, a hardworking but struggling journalist for a Miami newspaper, loves her Colombian mother but regularly ignores her phone calls, frustrated that she never quite takes the time to understand Melanie’s life. When the opportunity arises for a big assignment that might save her flagging career, Melanie follows the story to the land of her mother’s birth. She soon realizes Colombia has the potential to connect her, after all these years, to something she’s long ignored: her heritage, the love of her mother, her family, and the richest parts of herself.
Colombia offers more than a chance to make a name for herself as a writer. It is a place of untold stories.
Inspired by real-life events, An American Immigrant is a story of culture and community, of abiding commitment to family, and of embracing our culture and the generations that have come before.
