Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Understand, confront, and walk in freedom from fear with renowned Bible teacher and New York Times bestselling author, Joyce Meyer. Fear will never entirely disappear from your life, but you can confront and overcome it! Courage isn't the absence of fear; it is moving forward in the presence of fear. Courageous people do what they believe in their hearts they should do, no matter how they feel or what doubts fill their minds. In DO IT AFRAID, Joyce Meyer explains that fear is everywhere and affects everyone. It rules many people, but it doesn't have to be that way. The first portion of this book will help you understand fear and recognize how it works in your life, and the second will help you confront fear. In the third section, you will learn about mindsets that will position you for freedom from some of the most common fears people face. Fear is the devil's favorite tool in the toolbox of schemes he uses to destroy God's good plan for you. He uses it to hold you back and prevent progress in every area of your life. That is why you must take ownership of your problems and open your heart to God. He will help bring light into darkness. If you can understand fear and how it operates, you can be free from it!
