Worldwide turmoil and chaos have caused many to turn to biblical prophecy for answers only to become confused. They then turn to those who profess to understand those prophecies and become even more confused because of the many different opinions. Perhaps there is something major wrong with our understanding of the seven years we refer to as the tribulation. The seven seals, trumpets, and vials are twenty-one separate judgments or are they? And they consume all seven of those years or do they? Those seven years are filled with wrath or are they? A major nuclear war could account for most of Gods wrath. It is now biblically possible to see how all of Gods wrath will likely be confined to the last year of those seven years. Previously it was a challenge to try and fit all the many other prophesized events into those seven years. Now: The Closer We Get, the Clear the Vision makes it much easier. The Bible is the best commentary for the Bible. This book 1 titled: Introducing the Pre-Seventh-Year Rapture Theory contains about nine hundred Bible verses and partial verses to support its conclusions with the least amount of commentary as possible for clarity. Prepare to be utterly amazed as the results of these studies unveil concepts and possibilities that most of us have never considered or even imagined.

Successful people literally see the world differently. Now an award-winning scientist explains how anyone can leverage this “perception gap” to their advantage. “Get ready for this book to change how you see everything you see."—Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take When it comes to setting and meeting goals, we may see—quite literally—our plans, our progress, and our potential in the wrong ways. We perceive ourselves as being closer to or further from the end than we may actually be depending on our frame of reference. We handicap ourselves by looking too often at the big picture and at other times too long at the fine detail. But as award-winning social psychologist Emily Balcetis explains, there is great power in these misperceptions. We can learn to leverage perceptual illusions if we know when and how to use them to our advantage. Drawing on her own rigorous research and cutting-edge discoveries in vision science, cognitive research, and motivational psychology, Balcetis offers unique accounts of the perceptual habits, routines, and practices that successful people use to set and meet their ambitions. Through case studies of entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, and celebrities—as well as her own colorful experience of trying to set and reach a goal—she brings to life four powerful yet largely untapped visual tactics that can be applied according to the situation. Narrow your focus: Closing the aperture of your attention helps you exercise effectively, save money, and find more time in your day. Widen the bracket: Seeing the forest instead of the trees reduces temptations and helps you recognize when a change of course is in order. Materialize your plan and your progress: Creating checklists and objective assessments inspires better planning and adjusts your gauge of what’s really left to be done. Control your frame of reference: Knowing where to direct attention improves your ability to read others’ emotions, negotiate better deals, foster stronger relationships, and overcome a fear of public speaking. A mind-blowing and original tour of perception, Clearer, Closer, Better will help you see the possibilities in what you can’t see now. Inspiring, motivating, and always entertaining, it demonstrates that if we take advantage of our visual experiences, they can lead us to live happier, healthier, and more productive lives every day.

With fifty-two brief readings ideal for weekly reflection, this devotional from pastor Joshua Choonmin Kang invites you to walk slowly, paying attention to God's work in you and around you, to walk intentionally, using spiritual disciplines to develop Christlike character, and to walk purposefully, experiencing deeper grace and vision.

God has blessed us all with extraordinary potential; however, only a few of us will realize this great blessing. Why? We settle for just survival, just enough, or living mediocre lives. Many times we allow the detours, trials, obstacles, and struggles encountered to sway us away from Gods promises and our predestined greatness. Hard times and discouragement can cause us to take a back seat posture and watch life go by. However, we were not created to take a rest on the path of mediocrity. We were created to experience BOOM! We are all made in Gods image to do great works and the life He gave us to the fullest. Yet, when the gale strength winds begin to blow, we run for cover instead of standing on Gods Word. The BOOM will not happen for us if we are unwilling to take risks regardless to how bleak our individual situations seem. Ever wondered what it would take to get you out of the monotonous lane of life? Do you have unfulfilled dreams and visions that live in the graveyard of procrastination? When you take a moment to view life in hindsight, are you dissatisfied with where you are? Do you want to know what it would take to move you from failure to success? Do you wish to step away from the ordinary and embrace the gusto of life? Do you want to move away from the crowd and began to live life as it was meant to be? Have you allowed yourself to get stuck in complacency, stagnation, vision myopia, despair or fear? If your response to any of the questions is a resounding yes, then BOOM is the book for you. This book is God-inspired to help you move from the isolated, mundane, pits of despair to a place where dreams, visions and goals come to pass. Dont let the BOOM past you by, for BOOM is not a moment, its a movement.

A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel
