First Place 4 Health has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight and bring balance to the four core areas of their lives; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In this new title from Carole Lewis, First Place 4 Health's national director, readers are challenged to give God a year to change them from the inside out. Change will happen over the course of 12 months, but the right changes only happen when we set the right goals and take the right steps to achieve them. Written with Carole's signature warmth and humor, the book invites readers to dream big about the changes they long for in their lives and then offers practical, biblical, step-by-step guidance for how to see those dreams made into reality. In a culture of ''right now'' a year may seem like an eternity. A year in the hands of God, however, means change that will last eternally.

What is hope? Where does it come from? How can believers face the future with confidence—not with blind optimism, but deep trust in God’s plans? In Hope 4 You, First Place 4 Health National Director Carole Lewis examines the theme of hope as presented in God’s Word, and illustrates what hope is and is not through the real-life experiences of Carole and a number of her friends in the faith. Carole leads readers on an exploration of Scripture, which identifies the Holy Spirit as the Source of all hope. With this understanding, believers can walk with God (which restores hope), work with God (which renews hope) and wait on God (which revives hope). Carole underscores that hoping is never passive or inactive; it is productive, meaningful and full of purpose. Hope motivates us to take practical steps toward our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual goals.

Many people spend a majority of their time living either in the past or in the future.

In this inspirational title, Carole Lewis challenges readers to treasure today and make it the very best day of their lives! Live Life Right Here, Right Now shows readers how to become the person they’ve always wanted to be by living into the joys and trials that today brings along.
