Publisher's description: In Future Grace, author John Piper helps readers discover the key to overcoming sin and living a life that honors God. Many men and women attempt to walk upright out of gratitude for what Christ did in the past, but Piper encourages believers to look ahead to the grace God provides for us on a day-by-day, moment-by-moment basis--putting faith into action by laying hold of God's promises for the challenges we face. No one sins out of duty. We sin because we want to. Sin promises happiness, and we buy the lie. So how can the root of sin be severed in our lives? The penalty of sin must be paid by the righteous blood of Christ. And the power of sin must be broken by banking on the promises of Christ. John Piper's meditations are rooted in rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter by chapter--one for each day of the month--he reveals how, by cherishing the promises of God, you can break the power of anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more.

You can change your life! If you keep on doing what your doing, you're likely to keep on getting what you're getting. Is that what you want? If you do nothing, nothing will happen. If you do something, something may happen. Here's how to do "something" so you won't keep on getting what your getting. There is order to the universe, a way in which life flows. If you've been looking for a way to tap into the logic and power of all things, you may be surprised to find the answer is literally right at your fingertips. The ancient art of dowsing--which is much more than a way to look for water--gives you the key to tapping into the flow of the universe for health, wealth, and positive change. Raymon Grace has been studying forms of healing and connections with the universe for more than thirty years. In The Future Is Yours he shows you how to use dowsing to change the energetic flow of people, places, and situations, and how these simple changes can avert conflict, heal illness, and help people work together. Imagine the possibilities: settle differences at home and at work, find the best way to heal yourself and your family, remove bad energy (even ghosts) from buildings, and much, much more. You don't need academic degrees, expensive equipment, or spiritual credentials. All you need is the willingness to learn the simple principles and put the techniques to use. This book shows you how to change your life.

How do we build our sons to be tough but not arrogant? mannered but not soft? imaginative but not lazy? bold but not hollow? Future Men is a Christian guide to raising strong, virtuous sons, contrary to the effeminacy and sentimentalism of contemporary culture. When Theodore Roosevelt taught Sunday school for a time, a boy showed up one Sunday with a black eye. He admitted he had been fighting and on a Sunday too. He told the future president that a bigger boy had been pinching his sister, and so he fought him. TR told him that he had done perfectly right and gave him a dollar. The stodgy vestrymen thought this was a bit much, and so they let their exuberant Sunday school teacher go. What a loss. Unbelief cannot look past surfaces. Unbelief squashes; faith teaches. Faith takes a boy aside and tells him that this part of what he did was good, while the other part of what he did got in the way. "And this is how to do it better next time." As we look to Scripture for patterns of masculinity for our sons, we find them manifested perfectly in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the one who set the ultimate pattern for friendship, for courage, for faithfulness, and integrity.
