When life is bright and blessings abound, are you quick to feel grateful, lifting a song of thanks to God? Do you struggle to feel thankful when life is hard, making it feel impossible to praise God? Through what could be called "a fast from just asking," this book reminds you to offer praise and thanksgiving every day. In seasons of sorrow, when your heart is heavy and circumstances are overwhelming, praise can feel more like a sacrifice than a natural overflow of the heart. And in seasons of joy, when things are great and you're basking in blessings, it's easy to take God's goodness for granted. Wendy Speake, bestselling author of The 40-Day Sugar Fast, invites readers on a 30-day journey to give God praise at all times, on every day. A Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving will help readers: Witness the power of praise to break through spiritual barriers and strengthen their prayer life. Learn to rejoice in sufferings, knowing that they produce endurance, character, and hope. Develop a steadfast heart of worship that remains faithful even when their faith feels weak. Discover how to thank God for His character, not just their circumstances. Cultivate a habit of gratitude that roots them deeply in God's goodness, not good feelings. In the first half of this uplifting devotional, explore the profound gift of praising and thanking God, even in moments of sorrow. As you progress through the 30-day challenge, shift your focus from personal trials to the One who is inherently worthy of worship. Whether or not it benefits us directly, God is deserving of our thanks, praise, singing, and adoration. Join Wendy as you learn to persevere in praise, transforming your perspective and deepening your relationship with God. This journey is not about ignoring the darkness but about discovering the lessons and truths that can only be found there. Through thanksgiving, you can break through barriers, calm your soul, and find that the intimate presence of God is the greatest gift of all. A heart of gratitude can transform your relationship with God and infuse your life with renewed joy and purpose..

Many of us believe that the Bible is the Word of God, but we never actually read it. Or we've read bits and pieces, one verse or passage at a time, but struggle to apply it to our daily lives. Perhaps it's because we don't really understand what the Scriptures are all about or how to feast on them. That's where Wendy Speake comes in with a fresh twist on her popular 40-day sugar and social media fasts. The 40-Day Feast invites you to get hungry for God's Word, learn how to ingest and digest it for yourself, and, ultimately taste and see just how good (and applicable) it really is. In 40 daily readings, you'll discover the transforming power bound up in your Bible, learn to apply its truths to your daily life, and awaken a deep hunger for more of God and less of the things that don't satisfy. Ready for your relationship to God's Word to be transformed? Welcome to the feast

Are you addicted to your phone? Do you find yourself engaging online but unengaged at home with the people right in front of you? Do you spend hours scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, newsfeeds, and YouTube videos? Have your devices become divisive--dividing you from family and friends and, most importantly, God? What would happen if you took some time to fast from social media in order to get social with God and others once more? In the pattern of her popular 40-Day Sugar Fast, Wendy Speake offers you The 40-Day Social Media Fast. This "screen sabbatical" is designed to help you become fully conscious of your dependence on social media so you can purposefully unplug from screens and plug into real life with the help of a very real God. Take a break from everyone and everything you follow online. Disconnect in order to reconnect with the only One who said "follow me."

There's something special about the number 40, and there's something special about fasting. Put the two together and you have the opportunity to develop not only a physical hunger but a spiritual hunger! Whether you're fasting from sugar, social media, shopping, or something else, this resource will help you stay focused on the transforming work of Christ in your life through guided journaling.

Would you give up sugar to experience the sweet presence of God in your life? Many of us think that if our bodies become healthier, then we'll be healthier. But a healthy body doesn't do us a lot of good if we are spiritually malnourished. Welcome to the 40-Day Sugar Fast, a process that begins with us giving Jesus our sugar and ends with Jesus giving us more of Himself--the only thing that can ever truly satisfy our soul's deep hunger. On this journey you'll learn how to? stop fixating on food and fix your eyes on Christ? pinpoint the triggers that send you running to sugar ? lose weight as you gain faith? turn to the Most High instead of the next sugar high If you run to sugar for comfort or reward, eat mindlessly or out of boredom, feel physically and spiritually lethargic, or struggle with self-control, this fast will help you discover not only freedom from your cravings but an entirely new appetite for the good things God has for you.

A celebration of motherhood, creativity, and the faith that binds them In our Pinterest age of handcrafted children's parties, artistic Instagram photos, tutorials for renovating old furniture into new treasures, and blogs filled with poetry, prose, and other creative expression, it is clear that a brand-new generation of creative women is rising up. It is a renaissance born not in Italian cathedrals or Harlem jazz clubs but in kitchens and nurseries and living rooms around the world. But when Christian women become mothers, they often feel expected to lay down their creative pursuits in order to properly parent. Wendy Speake and Kelli Stuart know that struggle. While they acknowledge that some seasons of mothering require setting artistic pursuits aside, they also argue that these seasons don't have to last until empty nest time. Instead, mothers with creative gifts are called to actively use them in order to bless their families, their communities, and everyone they encounter. Inspiring and encouraging, Life Creative celebrates the ways mothers can live their art in the midst of their mothering. They tell the stories of women such as author and speaker Angie Smith, recording artist Ellie Holcomb, and jewelry designer Lisa Leonard who do just that. By following God's leading to embrace His gifts, renaissance moms can model the joy of obedience for their families.

Over 100,000 Copies in Print Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blow-ups you're facing are often a result of a bigger set of "triggers." Some of these are external, like a child's disobedience, backtalk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep-deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood. Triggers: Exchanging Parent's Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses examines common parenting issues that cause us to explode inappropriately at our children. Moving beyond simple parenting tips on how to change your child's behavior, authors Amber Lia and Wendy Speake offer biblical insight and practical tools to equip and encourage you on the journey away from anger-filled reactions toward gentle, biblical responses.
