Reaching Your Addicted Loved One
$16.99Add to cartAs a teenager, Victor Torres was a gang warlord and heroin addict on New York City’s violent streets. Through the ministry of David Wilkerson and Nicky Cruz, Victor had a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ and came to realize that God had a purpose for his life. Victor has spent the last forty-five years helping tens of thousands of young men and women find freedom from drug addiction and gang life. Now, he answers your toughest questions about your addicted loved one. Without pulling punches or promising easy answers, Victor provides wisdom and expertise that can lead you toward success.
Some of the questions Victor addresses are…
-How can I know if my loved one has a substance abuse problem?
-How can I tell the difference between helping and enabling?
-What if my loved one refuses to get help?
-When should I call the police?
-What should we look for in a treatment program?
-What can I expect when my loved one comes out of treatment?
-How do I prepare for relapse?God did not create your loved one to be an addict or a loser. On the contrary, God created him or her for a better life. Although, for the moment, it may seem like you are losing your loved one, they still have a God-given destiny and a purpose. No matter how bad the picture may look now, there is always hope.

Cree En Ti – (Spanish)
$15.99Add to cartTu reflejo depende de tu espejo. Y segun te ves, atraes. Tu, como muchas personas, no sabes que la mayoria de tus problemas vienen de la imagen que tienes de ti mismo. De ella dependen tus relaciones, como las escoges, como te tratan, y como te comportas. Es mas: tu autoimagen afecta todo aquello que es lo mas importante para ti: el exito en tu familia.
Hoy vas a dejar de mirarte en el espejo de la auto-imagen pobre y derrotada. En este novedoso libro, Sixto Porras te acompaa en la sorprendente travesia de cambiar tu espejo. Iras descubriendo la persona que realmente eres, y que has escondido por mucho tiempo detras de una auto-imagen que esconde lo mejor de ti.
En la travesia sentiras miedo, tentacion de volver atras, temor a la amenaza de la arrogancia. Es que estas descubriendo al verdadero tu, y aun no te has mirado en el nuevo espejo. Pero el autor te recordara en el camino que tu intencion de ser y de vivir mejor le ganara la partida a tu vieja imagen. Sigue confiado. Llegaras al final ileso y renovado. Te espera una auto-imagen fuerte y fiel a ti, que traera a tu vida las relaciones familiares mas hermosas que jamas soaste…y tu reflejo en un nuevo espejo. Ven, empecemos a caminar.
“Si deseas tener la mejor imagen de ti mismo, permite que sea quien te creo quien hable de ti. Nos mira como a hijos, nos llama por nuestro nombre, nos ama incondicionalmente, y dice que somos el reflejo de su imagen. Definitivamente uno se siente mejor cuando elige el espejo correcto.” -Sixto Porras
Your reflection depends on your mirror-and you attract what you reflect. Like most people, you are not aware that many of your problems are rooted in your self-image. The image you have of yourself determines your relationships: the way you choose them, how you behave, and how they treat you. As a matter of fact, your self-image influences your most important concern: success in family relationships.
Today, you can stop looking in the mirror at the reflection of a poor and defeated self-image. In this compelling new book, Sixto Porras guides you through the audacious journey of changing your mirror. You will uncover the real you, the “you” that has been hiding for a long time behind a self-image that has kept you from being your best.
Throughout the journey, you may feel scared, you may be tempted to go back, and you may even feel afraid of becoming arrogant. That is what self-discovery is all about, since

NotesAdditional Info
“Grant, Lord, that I may know myself that I may know thee.” -AugustineMuch is said in Christian circles about knowing God. But Christians throughout the ages have agreed that there cannot be deep knowledge of God without deep knowledge of the self. Discerning your true self is inextricably related to discerning God’s purposes for you. Paradoxically, the more you become like Christ, the more you become authentically yourself.
In this profound exploration of Christian identity, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner illuminates the spirituality of self-discovery. He exposes the false selves that you may hide behind and calls you to discover the true self that emerges from your uniqueness in Christ. Freeing you from illusions about yourself, Benner shows that self-understanding leads to the fulfillment of your God-given destiny and vocation.
Rest assured, you need not try to be someone you are not. But you will deepen your experience of God through discovering the gift of being yourself.
This expanded edition, one of three titles in The Spiritual Journey trilogy, includes a new epilogue and an experiential guide with questions for individual reflection or group discussion.

Ever wished you hadn’t lost control of your words, or your time, or your temper? Ever resolved not to do something ever again, only to slip back after a week or a month?
Self-control. It’s every man’s greatest challenge.
The Bible says that a man without self control is like a city without walls – defenceless in the face of attack. Lack of self-control is the weakness that lies beneath so many of our sins, from adultery and violence to the way we drive or fritter away our time.
This book will show you why to, and how to, build self-control that lasts. In showing you what the Son of God has done for you, and what the Spirit of God is doing in you, it will equip you to become the man you want to be, and the man those around you need you to be.
It’s time to start building. -

8. Liberty
9. IntimacyAdditional Info
One in five Christian women use pornography. One in three visitors to a porn site is a woman. Many, many more women read explicit books like Fifty Shades of Grey. Even more than that write their own pornography – not on paper for publication, but in their heads for their own use.
Helen Thorne knows all this because she’s done it.
But no one talks about it. Our churches are silent on it. There are very few books about it. It is the unspoken struggle of thousands of Christian women – perhaps you, and probably someone you know.
But no more. In this refreshingly honest, resolutely hope-filled and gospel-soaked book, Helen speaks the unspoken. In doing so, she shows how purity is better and more satisfying than fantasy – and that, whoever you are and whatever your struggles, that purity is possible. -
