Author Sondra Lee wrote this book to help her son, Tristan, to know what God wants for him in his life. She tenderly shares the importance of guarding one’s own heart so that while pursuing a young man’s dream, he will not find himself later in life like Solomon compromising the truths of God’s Word. As she began writing this book for him, the Lord burdened her heart for the many other young men in her son’s life. She has now made this book available for any young man, yet to be married, to read, study, and see the importance of seeking the Lord in every decision in their lives, both big and small. My Son, If You Accept My Words serves as a resource for young men in their study of God’s Word in order for them to see the practical application of His Word in their own life and, hopefully, to help equip them to make wise decisions for their future. Lee hopes that each chapter will be preceded by prayer for wisdom and discernment and that the Lord will use this book to open the hearts and eyes of our young men to their calling to be leaders, warriors, and servants. This collection of devotional writings offers young men a guide based in biblical wisdom and is intended to help them find more joy and faith on their life’s journey.

When God's people pray, they want answers. Yet many Christians don't know how to pray both effectively - in a way that gets results - and humbly - in a way that aligns with God's will. Prayer is a powerful weapon against the true adversaries of God's people: principalities, powers, dark rulers and spiritual wickedness in high places. These forces are the perpetrators of all kinds of evil: Addiction, abuse, poverty and spiritual bondage run rampant through families, churches, cities and nations. What can believers do to battle these forces? They can pray. Not just any prayer: the prayer of petition, known throughout Christian history as the prayer that gets results. Prayer of Petition explores this powerful prayer in detail, from the many examples found in God's Word to more recent instances of incredible miracles ushered in by this prayer. Readers will learn the biblical definitions of petition and supplication, and examine the key components of preparation, thanksgiving and humility. As readers learn to petition the Ruler of All, their confidence that God will prevail - no matter what - will grow, and as they learn to rest in His promises, peace will reign over their hearts through the coming revival.

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
