Your body is by God. God preprogrammed you to look great, have outrageous health, and experience incredible happiness. In the human body, God created a perfect design, equipped with all the organs, tissues, and cells necessary for health, production, and reproduction. The problem, asserts Dr. Ben Lerner, is when we as humans interfere with God's design for our bodies. Junk food, high-stress living, and neglecting exercise are just a few of the things we do to hinder our bodies' performance. In Body by God, Dr. Lerner offers a comprehensive plan for getting in touch with our bodies in four areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and time management. His "5-in-5" plan is designed to instill the good habits that will lead to optimum health benefits. Readers will learn how to get in shape with 10-minute workouts, reprogram the way they react to stress, and more. "Owner's Manual Tips" give specific ways to apply the material to real life. Our bodies are "fearfully and wonderfully made." With the help of Body by God, readers will learn how to achieve the highest level of performance from God's handiwork.

Experience the Lifelong Pleasures of Knowing God! Satisfaction…Happiness…Joy. According to John Piper, the pursuit of pleasure in God is not only permissible, it’s essential. Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on relating to God. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact, for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty as Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in Him. Constantly drawing on Scripture to build his case, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God. He discusses the implications of this for conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering. Piper beckons us to approach God with the hedonist’s abandon. Finally, we are freed to enjoy Jesus—not only as our Lord and Savior, but also as our all-surpassing, soul-satisfying Treasure. Desiring God may turn your Christian world upside down. And that will be a good thing, for the glory of God, and for your deepest joy. Includes a study guide for individual and small group use.

"I picked it up out of curiosity and I couldn’t put it down."--Eugene Peterson Christians are comfortable saying that Christianity is about a relationship with God. Yet many might also say that they sense little meaningful relationship with God in their own lives. After all, the foundation of good relationship is communication—-but conversation with God often seems to go only one way. We may sing of walking and talking with God in the garden, His voice falling on our ears, but few have heard that beloved voice themselves. Sam Williamson acknowledges the fundamental human longing to hear God’s voice and offers a hopeful supposition: God is always speaking—-we’ve just never been taught how to recognize His voice. Williamson handles this potentially heady topic with his characteristic straightforwardness and leavening humor. This book deftly bridges the gap between solid biblical theology and practical application, addressing topics such as how to truly pray without ceasing, how to brainstorm with God, how to navigate our emotions, how to answer God’s questions, and how to hear God’s voice for others. Hearing God in Conversation offers simple, step-by-step lessons on how to hear God. Williamson begins with Scripture meditation. He then expands the practice of listening for that voice everywhere—in the checkout line, on the job, in a movie theater, and even in silence. From there, he demonstrates how to hear God’s guidance when making any decision. By the end, readers’ eyes and ears will be opened to the limitless methods through which God speaks.

Becoming Areeya Metaya, the Civilisation of Love “Areeya Metaya” is a psychological and philosophical science novel that talks about spirituality and logically explains the different theories of cosmology. For thousands of years, religion and science have taken conflicting approaches and concepts on discussions relating to physical aspects such as the birth of all things, the origin of human beings and animals, the cosmos and the universe, or about energy, for example, the existence of spirits and ghosts, heaven and hell, angels and gods, and so on. The latter concepts are especially considered absurd in the eyes of many scientists. What you are about to read in this book is an attempt to integrate all this knowledge into one concept. It is a confluence of science and religion, the physical and the spiritual. You will learn about the secret mechanisms that created the earth, the cosmos, and the universe, and most importantly, how the system moves and exists. All this knowledge is written down and explained in the form of a novel so that everyone can understand it easily. What if, by chance, you stepped into an interplanetary portal that transported you to another parallel world, a planet that is so similar to Earth but one where its inhabitants could telepathically read thought waves? How would you interact with these friendly beings – including your soulmate – that you meet along your journey in this parallel world who kindly share with you their way of life, history, and civilisation of love? What if you had to make a choice between living the rest of your life with your newly-found happiness in this parallel world, or giving everything up (including your soulmate) and returning to Earth with a mission to tell mankind the actions they must take to avoid the destruction of their own world and their own species? Areeya Metaya, The Journey to Meeting God is written by Thatree Pokavanich, a graduate of Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Arts majoring in Painting. His initial goal was to be a recognised artist but since his love of drawing small animals and nature was too niche to be widely sold, he channeled his creative energy into being a full-time graphics designer. He loves a good story and can be spellbound by every movie he watches, even if it has been viewed more than once. From the Author Never in my life have I ever considered writing a book but a strange inner voice in my head kept on telling me many times to write this story. And many times, I have queried “why me?” I have wrestled with that voice for quite a long time since I was convinced that I have little writing skills if any at all. But that voice continued to persuade that I put pen to paper because the story would be published in dozens of languages so that others across the world, upon reading it, would feel inspired and find answers to their lives.Haha ha, I just laughed at that inner voice, and at the thought planted in my head which seemed very amusing. However, after much pestering, I finally yielded to the call. So here it is: a novel that I'm sure was driven by an unknown force that is looking out for humankind. “Areeya Metaya” is a psychological and philosophical science novel that talks about spirituality and logically explains the different theories of cosmology. For thousands of years, religion and science have taken conflicting approaches and concepts on discussions relating to physical aspects such as the birth of all things, the origin of human beings and animals, the cosmos and the universe, or about energy, for example, the existence of spirits and ghosts, heaven and hell, angels and gods, and so on.

You will learn about the secret mechanisms that created the earth, the cosmos, and the universe, and most importantly, how the system moves and exists. All this knowledge is written down and explained in the form of a novel so that everyone can understand it easily. f you ask how successful I expect this novel to be, my sincere answer is that if there is just only one individual who reads and understands this whole story, and feels inspired and lifted after turning the pages, I would really be contented. Please allow me to joyfully embrace you with all my heart if a mysterious guiding force has placed this book in your hand. If you are that person, your journey to the world of “Areeya Metaya” is about to begin. With love, Thatree Pokavanich Bangkok, Thailand
