Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.

Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Familiar questions in our day and age. But has our search for answers led us too far in the wrong direction: away from our true position in Christ and toward a dangerous emphasis on self? Recent decades have seen the rise of a powerful and influential movement within the church. Identified by labels such as “self-image,” “self-esteem,” “self-worth,” and “self-love,” this movement has one common denominator—the emphasis on self. Regardless of religious persuasion, everyone seems to be fighting what they perceive to be a shared enemy: low self-esteem. Now well-known biblical counselor and noted author Jay Adams brings much-needed clarification to the area of self-esteem and offers the church and every believer a truly biblical view of self.

From one of the sharpest Christian voices of her generation and host of the podcast Relatable comes a framework for escaping our culture of trendy narcissism—and embracing God instead. We're told that the key to happiness is self-love. Instagram influencers, mommy bloggers, self-help gurus, and even Christian teachers promise that if we learn to love ourselves, we'll be successful, secure, and complete. But the promise doesn't deliver. Instead of feeling fulfilled, our pursuit of self-love traps us in an exhausting cycle: as we strive for self-acceptance, we become addicted to self-improvement. The truth is we can't find satisfaction inside ourselves because we are the problem. We struggle with feelings of inadequacy because we are inadequate. Alone, we are not good enough, smart enough, or beautiful enough. We're not enough--period. And that's okay, because God is. The answer to our insufficiency and insecurity isn't self-love, but God's love. In Jesus, we're offered a way out of our toxic culture of self-love and into a joyful life of relying on him for wisdom, satisfaction, and purpose. We don't have to wonder what it's all about anymore. This is it. This book isn't about battling your not-enoughness; it's about embracing it. Allie Beth Stuckey, a Christian, conservative new mom, found herself at the dead end of self-love, and she wants to help you combat the false teachings and self-destructive mindsets that got her there. In this book, she uncovers the myths popularized by our self-obsessed culture, reveals where they manifest in politics and the church, and dismantles them with biblical truth and practical wisdom.

God is still writing your story What happens when life doesn't turn out the way you always imagined? How do you stay hopeful when disappointments, unfulfilled longings, and frustrating detours come knocking on your door? Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal have asked these same questions themselves. In Not Part of the Plan, they open up their lives in the most raw and relatable way, sharing their own journeys through unexpected seasons of infertility, singleness, loss, and heartbreak. But in the midst of it all, they've learned that true hope doesn't come from getting the life you always dreamed of but from trusting God with the life He has for you and believing that His plans truly are good. Sister, wherever you are on your journey, your life has purpose and meaning in Christ, and thriving is possible--right now. "If life has thrown you a curveball and your future feels hard and scary, Not Part of the Plan is the book for you. You'll laugh. You'll cry. But most of all, you'll appreciate the advice of these wise friends as they teach you how to walk through pain and uncertainty and lead you toward a hope-filled tomorrow."--Mary A. Kassian, author of Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild "Bethany and Kristen address the struggles we face when life takes unwanted detours and show us through Scripture and experience that our ultimate hope is found in Christ. Even in life's disappointments, we can be completely confident in God's greater plan that is for our good and for His glory."--Gretchen Saffles, author of The Well-Watered Woman, founder of Well-Watered Women

How To start to love yourself unconditionally I am absolutely sure that this book will help everyone to get to know yourself better and on a deeper level, improve your relationships, accept yourself and others, love your life and be happy while enjoying "peace of mind," get rid of fear and stress, find the meaning of your life, solve different problems, and, finally, find God within you. While reading this book you can find the answers to many of your questions because this book is based on the Bible, a universal book of life created by God and proven by billions of people of different nations for thousands of years. All the relationships including all the problems in the relationships were given to you by God to show you that you need to learn how to love yourself. That is the main purpose of life. The only thing that we learn in this life is to love. What is loving yourself? There is always a misconception about it, but loving yourself is a most important thing in your life and this book will prove it. I am sure many of us have read the Bible; but so, fewer people actually understood very famous quote Mark 12:31 "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you really spend some time thinking about this phrase, maybe sleep on it, what do you think this phrase is about? You should love yourself first. Always. You need to learn how to love yourself first, and only afterwards you could love your neighbor. Therefore, if you don't love yourself, it's not possible to love others. There is simply no such way. There is a common misconception nowadays that relationships are supposed to bring love to our life. When it doesn't happen, we become miserable. The truth is that, according to the Bible, romantic relationships are never the source of love. Remember: Love your neighbor as yourself. First, you love yourself and only then you could love your boyfriend or girlfriend. So, true source of love is within us! Nowadays people are looking for love in the relationships without having love in their soul and, of course, they fail to find it. Relationships are not a source of love, but a reflection of our soul and mind. Therefore, if we don't have a love in ourself, we are never going to find love in our relationships. And that is the word of Christ. You will see that money is creation of God Money always existed and will exist forever. Because money was created by God. During our life, we always interact with each other. Two things in this are always true: nothing is free, and nothing goes unnoticed. If you go to the grocery store to buy some milk, you must pay some money. If money didn't exist, this simple transaction of buying milk would be very hard to solve. In that case you, would interact with many others like farmers who produced this milk, sellers who sell the milk, etc. You would need to do chores and help them in order to get some milk from them. How could you get a milk in this situation? That's why God created money as a universal solution where you can get what you need and keep going. You will learn how to accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be kind to yourself What are the concrete actions of loving yourself? The first and foremost is self- forgiveness. You need to forgive yourself for not matching that image of a perfect you. Because just having that image of a perfect you is a sign of self-hate. If you accept who you are, you are totally happy with who you are. Learn how to start to love yourself unconditionally.Scroll up and click the buy button now
