An explanation of the seven Steps to Freedom, to help new Christians fulfil their destiny as children of God

"Experience the live you were meant to live ... Restored, in Christ."--Back cover.

Are you in need of restoration or spiritual and physical training? Are you dealing with something that keeps you stuck or habitually wandering in a personal wilderness or desert? Do you find yourself always trying to feel satisfied by overeating or overspending? Are you feeling spiritually or physically fatigued? Do you feel its too late for change to take place in your life? Have you thought about what kind of legacy that you are leaving for your children? We all have something to overcome as a result of the consequences of sin, broken relationships, dysfunctional upbringing, or possibly unhealthy eating habits. All can be the results of our apathetic spiritual or physical training. Whatever is keeping you in that personal desert of brokenness can be defeated, and you can be completely restored. Restoration starts from the inside out, and it begins in your mind and processed in your heart. Learn to start with the truth, which is the Word of God; it is a compass that can guide you out of your wilderness. This is a simple study to start the process of restoration that begins with basic biblical principles that you might have been taught as a child, but that were lost as you became distracted with the worlds business, causing you to wander further into your personal desert. It can also be a reinforcement to remind you of Gods plan for your life and of His faithfulness. Dont be like the Israelites and maintain a life of rebellion, dissatisfaction, and disobedience, continuing through life without direction. This is a tool that can teach you how to strengthen your spiritual and physical muscles to overcome dissatisfaction and fulfill the need to overeat.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth. This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new." More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19). Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

What unanswered questions do you have about your life? Some of us struggle to find meaning, others wonder about identity, and all of us want to be loved. Your story—the events and relationships that define you—will guide how you answer those questions. But God has a story too. His story is about sending Jesus to this broken world to mend all ...

It's time to revive your heart, release your purpose, and have an authentic relationship with God! Women want to live boldly and bravely in their faith, but many feel weighed down by... something. They pretend to live a full life, but wonder why life as a Christian lacks luster. To fill the aches, they feast unknowingly upon consumerism, self-worship, food obsession, seeking love in all the wrong places, and grasping for anything but Jesus. Rachel shows women that in order to renew passion, purpose, and unwavering faith, they must intentionally choose to refine and restore their mind, body, and soul, acknowledging their subtle sins before Jesus. In REFINE AND RESTORE, Rachel shares the process of refining sins out of her life, which separated her from deeper intimacy with God, and restoring her heart back to the truth of who God really is. Through personal stories of confession and conviction (refining moments), readers will discover how Rachel found an authentic, vibrant relationship with God (restored wholeness)-inspiring readers to do the same.
