Citing the high expectations placed on many women, a guide to finding God's purpose draws on the stories of women in the Bible to explain how to move beyond personal weaknesses and low self-esteem in order to realize personal power.

Bishop T. D. Jakes offers clarity, healing, and restoration to a generation of men--both believers and nonbelievers--confused about their purpose, vision, and roles in today's complex culture. He urges men to let Jesus take hold of their limitations and bondages and to come forth into the light of all God has planned for them. Now the book and easy-to-use workbook are combined in one volume for individual study and small group discussion.

Before Soar and He-Motions brought his inspirational words to men and women everywhere, The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord brought Bishop T. D. Jakes to the forefront of America's bestselling Christian authors. The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord is as provocative as it is profound--a truly inspiring volume that shows today's women how to improve their relationships with their men, their God, and themselves. In a society that asks women to be perfect, sweet, sexy, submissive, and pristine, T. D. Jakes offers a spiritual path that cuts through the mixed messages and leads women toward the true self God wants them to be: strong, loving, and real.

In this mindset-shifting New York Times bestselling guide to meaningful change, a pastor and entrepreneur shares how we can think differently and find the courage to challenge the status quo. For most of our lives, we are encouraged to trudge along the well-worn paths of those who have come before us. We learn the rules--in our families, in our schools, in our workplaces, in our churches--and most of the messages we receive tell us that following the rules will allow us to arrive at the lives we desire. But when change becomes not only desirable but also urgently necessary, this way of being no longer serves us. In fact, in every human endeavor, every major leap forward, has involved a cataclysmic challenge to existing ways of thinking and being. Breakthroughs, by definition, run against the grain and almost always encounter skepticism and opposition. In this book for leaders, thinkers, doers, and creators, Bishop T. D. Jakes illuminates the pathway to encouraging and unleashing disruptive thinking and provides the wisdom and practical skills we need to evolve our most original and potentially transformational ideas from vision to reality. Through his insight into how our minds and emotions work and through his own experiences, Bishop Jakes leads us into a new way of relating to and transforming the world around us for good. Disruptive Thinking will show you the mindset and the tools you need to create groundbreaking and meaningful change in your own life and in the world around you. A Study Guide is also available for purchase.
