Most people never seize their moment because they are paralyzed by their own thinking. This book will teach you to let go of your excuses and never miss your moment again. It’s time for a change! It’s time to hear the voice of Jesus asking, “Do you want to get well?” And it’s time to answer Him with your obedience. Your destiny, future, and family are not controlled by “if only”; they rest in the hands of the One who loves you, saves you, redeems you, and heals you. Let go of your excuses, move beyond your conditional living, and break your cycle of dependency. It’s time to stand! Have you convinced yourself the abundant life Jesus came to bring is out of reach? Have you developed an “if only” mentality, waiting for something or someone to turn things around? While you become more and more dependent on your excuses, you watch others get what you want to have, go where you want to go, and experience what you long to feel. It seems it’s never your turn to experience the joy that comes from attaining all God has for you. In You Are Next, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez uses the story of Jesus healing the paralytic to powerfully illustrate that your “tendency for dependency” could be standing in the way of your miracle. He challenges you to do what’s necessary to receive it and shows you how to: Let go of old labels you’ve allowed to define you Move beyond barriers that limit you Stop seeing yourself as a victim and start seeing your circumstances as subject to the authority and power of Jesus Christ Let go of the qualifications you think are tacked on to Jesus’ command to get up and walk It’s time to step out in faith! You are next!

If you feel stuck with no idea what you should do next, lifestyle celebrity and TV pioneer Debbie Travis's new book is for you. Drawing on the tough (sometimes hilarious) lessons Debbie learned in her own leap into a new way of living, and a multitude of stories, tips and ideas to jumpstart your dreams, she's created an inspiring roadmap for change. A few years ago, Debbie Travis realized that she was no longer challenged by her wildly successful TV career and she was so busy she was missing out on the people and things that made her happy. She dared to dream about a whole new direction in life--a plan to turn a 13th-century farmhouse in Tuscany into a unique hotel and retreat for people who need a change as much as she did. And now, after a crazy amount of work, she is not only living that dream but sharing it with others. Her new book draws directly on her own experiences (when she started, Debbie could barely make a bed, let alone run a hotel in a foreign county) and the uplifting stories of personal u-turns shared by women who have come to her retreats. Debbie's "commandments" will inspire women (and men) who have lost track of who they are or what they want to be; who are going through the motions of a career that doesn't satisfy them anymore; who are wondering what to do with themselves now that their kids are gone or their marriage is over. On every page, Debbie shares the tools that helped her transform her life, and her example, her wit and her common sense advice will help motivate anyone who finds themselves standing at a crossroads wondering "What's next for me?"
