The second edition of Focus on God is packed with practical teachings aimed at helping the followers of Jesus Christ to totally focus on Jesus and by so doing adopt his lifestyle of sharing His good news. This will help with the current focus on materialistic things that is plaguing the church. The church's primary purpose is that of soul winning. This is the only key to reviving us to change our world for the better. It is very important to be doing the right thing at the right time. It appears majority of churches seems to be doing everything except the primary focus which is becoming more like Jesus Christ and doing what he commanded us to do. The purpose for which the church exists is to fulfill the great commission in winning souls all over the world. This cannot be over emphasised. We are called to be the followers of Jesus to share the good news of salvation. The reason why Jesus has delayed His second coming is to allow all to hear the gospel. How can we give what we do not have? We are given so many other gifts and talents. In this resource, Dr. Andam explains and teaches how focusing on Jesus and obeying Him will help us to fulfill this commission. He has explained and simplified biblical principles that will help to equip us to become the true ambassadors of Jesus. We need our focus to be right with strong faith in Jesus. It is time to talk our walk by living the lifestyle, which reflects that of Jesus. Michael challenges the church to wake up and use the authority and power given to change situations in our world, wherever we find ourselves. This will help with our testimony through our lifestyle and the preaching of the good news. Using many compelling examples from scripture, the emphasis is placed on Bible reading, study and taking action based on the word. Let revival start with you focusing totally on Jesus Christ and living right out for Him daily till the end.

If we want to see God in the midst of our struggles, we have to change the way we look for him. There is no denying that miracles, answers to prayer, and abundant blessings testify to God’s presence. When the desires of our hearts are filled, it’s easy to see him. But what about the seasons when he seems invisible? Scripture tells us God never sleeps, but it is easy to feel like he is not attuned to our needs. Shift explores the life-changing truth that when we adjust our lens to focus our eyes on God rather than on what we wish we were seeing in our lives, he reveals himself to us. In fact, those moments when he seems invisible to us are often when others see him the most in us. When Jesus walked the earth, he looked to God for his earthly needs. Jesus had deep a relationship with the Father that fueled his mission, his purpose, and his effectiveness. Scripture tells us that we can have that too. But there is a shift that needs to take place in our hearts and minds. No matter our circumstances, we can see God in our lives—right here, right now.

The prophet Isaiah's life was forever changed through his vision of the holy God. In this God-focused moment, Isaiah also saw the sinfulness of his own life in a startling new way. It was a moment that would constrain and impel Isaiah all the days of his life. Like Isaiah, we need a fresh view of God. We need to see God as He truly is absolutely holy. We need to see our sin as God sees it. And we need to realize that while God demands holiness, He cleanses and uses imperfect people. When we come into the presence of almighty God, and we catch a glimpse of Him as He really is, we are driven to worship him in his absolute holiness. Is it still possible to encounter the living God today? Although we are prone to think of important people as unapproachable, the God of the universe not only has made it possible for us to know Him, but it is His deep desire that we do so. God Focus will lead you on an encounter with the living word behind the written word. Discover what was meant by the superlative song of the seraphim, the three-fold repetition of "holy, holy, holy," and learn simple biblical truths that will help you become more like Christ. By examining God's awesome holiness, as seen through Isaiah's eyes, you may get a fresh glimpse of the holiness of God in your own life. Perhaps you, too, will never be the same.

Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Focus on God is a plea to do just that--focus on God. In recent years, many ministers and priests have lost confidence in the value of their work. Many have wondered whether the clergy still have a role in the life of the community. Here is an exciting picture of the minister as a resource person, able to communicate some of the riches of our theological heritage to the new generation of Christians and able to appropriate some of the rewards of scientific and cultural explorations for the nourishment of the life of the church. The minister is seen as the person who can bring together intellect and imagination to enable and interpret a continuing conversation between tradition and present experience. The task of the minister and priest involves, above all, attention to God, and the attempt to help others think about God for themselves.
