A menudo caracterizamos nuestros antojos de comida como malos o que provocan culpa. Pero el antojo no es algo malo. La realidad es que fuimos hechos para desear. Solo tenemos que darnos cuenta de que Dios nos creó para desear más de Él, en lugar de perder ese deseo por complacernos en placeres físicos y alimentos poco saludables que siempre decepcionarán. En medio de su lucha personal con esto, la autora best seller del New York Times, Lysa TerKerust, nos invita a encontrar el eslabón perdido entre el deseo de una mujer de estar sana y el empoderamiento espiritual necesario para que esto suceda. En este libro recientemente revisado y condensado, Lysa nos muestra cómo:romper el ciclo de «El lunes empiezo de nuevo» y sentirte bien contigo hoy;dejar de agonizar por los números en la báscula y hacer las paces con tu cuerpo;reemplazar las racionalizaciones que conducen al fracaso por la sabiduría que conduce a la victoria; yalcanzar tus metas saludables y acercarte más a Dios en el proceso. Este no es un libro de «instrucciones». Tampoco es el último y mejor plan de dieta. Es el recurso necesario a utilizar junto con cualquier plan de estilo de vida saludable que elijas, que te ayudará a encontrar tu «deseo» y te llevará a una satisfacción espiritual que va mucho más allá de lo físico.

A pastor's wife's shattering yet ultimately hopeful story of her husband's death by suicide, her journey to understand mental illness, and the light she found in the darkness. On August 25, 2018, Kayla Stoecklein lost her husband, Andrew--megachurch pastor of Inland Hills Church in Chino, California--to suicide. In the wake of the tragedy, she embarked on a brave journey to better understand his harrowing battle with mental illness and, ultimately, to overcome the stigma of suicide. Fear Gone Wild is her intimate account of all that led to that tragic day, including her husband's panic attacks and debilitating bouts of anxiety and depression. Despite their deep faith in God and the countless prayers of many believers, Andrew was never healed of his illness. Turning to Scripture for answers, she discovered that God uses wilderness experiences to prepare His children--including Jesus--for his greater purpose and to work miracles inside our souls. With a clear-eyed acknowledgment of how misguided and misinformed she was about mental illness, Kayla Stoecklein shares her story in hopes that anyone walking through the wilderness of mental illness will be better equipped for the journey and will learn to put their hope in Jesus through it all.

«Avvisning stjeler det beste av den jeg er. Det forsterker det verste mennesker har sagt til meg.» Fienden vil at du skal føle deg avvist, utelatt, ensom og mindreverdig. I «Uønsket - likevel elsket» deler Lysa sine egne personlige erfaringer om avvisning, fra små ting - fordømmelsen hun kjenner på treningsstudioet når hun ser på kvinnen med perfekt kropp på treningsmaskinen ved siden av - til store ting - hennes grusomme barndomsminne da faren forlot henne. Hun studerer avvisningens røtter med lupe, samt avvisningens evne til å forgifte relasjoner fra innsiden, også forholdet til Gud og hvordan komet ut av det. Lysa Terkeurst er en av New York Times' bestselgende forfattere og leder for Proverbs 31 Ministries. Deres oppdrag er å møte kvinner der de er i sine ekte og vanskelige situasjoner og å hjelpe dem utfra Guds ord. Lysa opplever at hun har lykkes i hverdagslivet hvis hun har kommet seg gjennom dagen og har brukt tid med Herren, fått en form for trening, ledd sammen med et av sine fem barn og fått en venn til å smile. Hennes erfaring er at jo mer vi fullt ut inviterer Gud inn i våre liv, dess mindre vil vi føle oss uønsket av andre.
