When you look in the mirror, what do you see: a person who truly believes he/she is on the right path, or one struggling daily to find a sense of identity? More importantly, how do you see God as you seek the purpose for your life: as your back pocket Lord, or as your personal guide? For some, they may feel they are on the right path but have drifted away from discerning and understanding God’s will for them. This inspired pastor and author Dennis Lee to establish a meaningful resource for readers wanting to grow in their relationship with God, in his new Christian discipleship book; From Here to There: A Journey to Spiritual Transformation, part of his Spiritual Formation series. As an “A through Z roadmap on discipleship,” Dennis offers readers a biblically-sound guide to familiarize readers to biblical principles of what it’s like to be a follower of Jesus Christ, being found in His likeness. Each chapter clarifies this developing relationship with God, established when you accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, and furthered through changing how you approach living this life in Christ. Pastor Lee takes the reader along this narrow road described by Jesus, looking at a Christian’s true identity when pursuing God’s presence and becoming aligned with His will. To make sure his readers’ stay upon this path, Lee looks at Satan’s potholes that damages a person’s spiritual transformation, as well as God’s speed bumps to help believers slow down and not miss God’s promises for their lives. It’s a journey to the ultimate destination of Heaven with God, and this guide will help you make the necessary changes and take the required steps to stay upon God’s path.

Thrive as the Divinely Connected Intuitive You Were Born to Be “Wendy is precisely the spiritual mentor I would pray for you to find. By opening this book, you will receive the energetic nurturing that she has infused into every page.” — Gabrielle Bernstein, from the foreword As an empathic person, you likely feel the energy of the unseen world and unknowingly take on other people’s energy and emotions.

As much about spiritual and creative freedom as it is about death and grief, A Story of Transformation offers encouragement and simple practices for all who long to live from a more inspired, loving, soulful consciousness. When the sudden death of her brother left Rose Diamond the only surviving family member, she entered a grieving process more profound than any she had previously experienced. Harnessing her love of writing to an in-depth inner inquiry, her words wove the almost indescribable shock and pain of grief into lifelines to hold her through a transformative healing odyssey. As the pandemic brought death to the world’s table, Rose’s pathway through loss led her to the conscious choice to live fully - a vital rite of passage that can transform each of us, renew our world and lay the foundations for a new culture of peace on our planet. Part memoir, part transformational guide, this book shines a light of compassion and inspiration for people awakening through grief. “An important and valuable book for our times, when so many have suffered loss and grief not only of the lives of dear ones, but in the many changes in the way we live.” Christine Miller MA, author of ‘Love in the Boardroom’.

Menopause is a dramatic but largely overlooked developmental window to the second half of life. Although today's women are more aware of and actively involved in mapping their menopausal journey than generations before, many still do not see menopause as a time of important psychological and spiritual transformation. This book goes far beyond hot flashes and gets to the very heart of the midlife journey, helping women find their unique voice and speak their truth in an era of #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Coming alongside readers as a wise spiritual guide, pastor and theologian Cheryl Bridges Johns identifies seven key developmental "tasks" of menopause and gives practical ways women can embrace each one. She encourages women to view these tasks as gifts as they experience the remarkable physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that occurs in this stage of life. Written in a warm and conversational tone, this book helps women chart a course for the future, leading them to a renewed sense of identity, a more focused vision for life, and a deeper spirituality. Each chapter includes guided questions for personal reflection and study questions for group discussion.

We all experience pain at least at some points in our life and we all wish to improve our life, to grow and to heal. But how can you heal?Transformation happens whether you are consciously aware of it or not. If you are aware and feel the desire for change, you are at the starting point of a conscious shift in your life.
