Is There Something More Than This Life?
This world is full of crises and conflicts, difficulties and troubles -- but this world will not last. No matter what your age is, your earthly life is slowly slipping away. This is why Jesus encourages us not to store treasures on this earth. In other words, invest in heaven.
In Heaven Awaits, you will explore what the Bible says about heaven and begin to envision the wonders and glories that await you. Heaven is real. And throughout these pages, you will discover that your eternal home is far more real than your earthly experience right now. As such, you will be energized to live each day in light of that awe-inspiring reality.
Heaven Awaits will serve as your eternal investment guide by helping you:
- Envision the 9 blessings of heaven―which include the joy of no longer experiencing any loss to the freedom from the pain of disillusionment;
- Explore the 8 facets of heaven―which includes the rest that you will experience to the abundant life that you are destined to possess;
- Discover the 10 benefits of heaven―which includes the loving family whose company you will enjoy for eternity and the meaning and purpose that you will experience forever.
With this book, you can train your soul to anticipate what awaits you, as well as shape how you live right now.
There is no other book like the Bible. God used at least forty human writers over more than 1,600 years to compost the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments. They included kings and shepherds, a physician and a tax collector. They lived on three continents-Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Yet the Bible is a single Book with a single Author, focused on a single theme: Jesus the Messiah, our Redeemer. From beginning to end, the Bible tells the story of the Kingdom of God and its King. The Old Testament tells us He is coming. The New Testament announces that He has arrived.
The sixty-six books of the Bible do not tell sixty-six stories. Together they tell one story. It's the story of humanity's rebellion against God and God's redemptive love for the human race. It's the story of a Kingdom and a Covenant, of one Lord who saves completely and rules eternally.
The unity of the Bible confounds human wisdom. The unity of the Bible baffles its critics. The unity of the Bible challenges its enemies. There's no book like this Book because there's no author like its Author.
We are surrounded by the temptation to glorify ourselves. We post carefully curated selfies on Instagram, chase money and pleasure, and live the 'image is everything' lifestyle. We've created a culture of envy, emptiness, and depression. Even the church has bought into worldly values of wealth and status. God put us on this earth not to seek our own glory but to shine the light of his glory on a dying world.
Through the life of Moses, pastor and author Michael Youssef shows us how to store up treasure that lasts by living for God's glory. Moses turned his back on privilege, pleasure, and power to invest in treasure that lasts-the treasure of God's glory. His goal must be our goal as well.
Experience the rich life God intended for you. If you're not sure you've truly surrendered your whole life to God, let Treasure That Lasts be the flame that lights the way to reliance on him.
A clear and frank exploration of the future of Christianity and whether it needs to be saved.
We live in confusing times. Our society has shifted on its moral axis, and many are asking whether Christianity needs to be reinvented-or even reimagined-in order to save it. With Newsweek declaring 'The Decline and Fall of Christian America' on its cover and The Daily Beast questioning 'Does Christianity Have a Future?' bloggers and Christian commentators are discussing whether we need a 'new of kind of Christianity.'
In Saving Christianity? Dr. Michael Youssef explores this train of thought and its pitfalls. He describes how similar discussions in Christianity's recent past explored the very same question. Saving Christianity? will help you discern what is going on within the church while it reviews the essentials of the Christian faith as described in the Bible.
We dare not abandon this 'mere faith,' as Dr. Youssef describes it, because it is the light for all humanity-and especially for those of us living in today's chaotic times.
After listening to Saving Christianity? you'll have a renewed confidence in the future of the church and the central place it will occupy for generations to come.
When God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky, Abraham was childless. Yet through many obstacles, temptations, and even failures, Abraham became an example of faith as he learned to trust God's promises regardless of circumstances.
In this faith-filled book, Michael Youssef takes you through Abraham's incredible journey of faith, encouraging you to trust God's timing and plan when the road gets difficult. He also shares his own experiences of trusting God in a foreign land and includes reflection questions for you and your small group to pinpoint the ways in which you're trusting-or need to trust-God to keep his promises, even when the way forward seems impossible-even when you can't see the stars.
Radical Islam has been waging war against our global civilization throughout history?and now, it's closer than ever to American soil. Dr. Michael Youssef, a Coptic Christian who was born in Egypt and now leads a megachurch in America, knows from firsthand experience that radical Islamists have goals that many American Christians believe are "unthinkable." In this book, he warns Western Christians that it doesn't help to ignore what's going on. There's a third jihad underway, and its goal is to take over the West.
The Third Jihad is a call for Christians to defend their families, protect their nation, and boldly share the good news of Jesus with their communities?especially their Muslim neighbors.
Packed with surprising insights from history, compelling and dramatic stories, and a practical agenda that one person?or one church?can immediately put into practice to make a difference in the world. Rich in encouraging biblical principles and prophetic insights, The Third Jihad leads the reader to an empowering conclusion in our troubling (and even frightening) times.
Michael Youssef's insights will inspire Christians to take their faith seriously, share their faith freely, and to truly be salt and light in a world of increasing darkness and decay.
They were just ordinary people--a loyal servant, a woman who desperately wanted a child, an old man who still had hope, and a young teenager who couldn't quite believe God's great love. Ordinary people who prayed extraordinary prayers to an extraordinary God. They weren't always eloquent. They weren't always the type of person you might think God would listen to. But they trusted God and his plans for their lives, and that made all the difference.Life-Changing Prayers tells their stories and shares their desperate, hopeful, and gratitude-filled prayers, inspiring and emboldening readers to ask God for the desires of their own hearts. Anyone who desires to pray life-changing prayers, as well as anyone whose prayer life has grown stagnant or nonexistent, will find here the encouragement to pray confidently and expectantly to the God who always hears--and always answers.
What's going on in our world? Why are suicide bombers attacking our cities? Why are shooters invading our workplaces and malls? Why are students attacking speakers at their colleges?

What can save us and our children from this chilling future? Michael Youssef, in this groundbreaking audiobook, shows how we can win the war against aggressive secularism, beat back the threat of radical Islam, and build a brighter future for both ourselves and the next generation.

'As our civilization rushes headlong towards collapse, it seems there is nothing we can do to avert catastrophe... or is there?
For decades, American were vaguely aware that Islamist barbarians were in the deserts of the Middle East and in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan, executing cinfidelsand raiding villages with unrecognizable names. The Muslim world seemed far away, remote, and irrelevant to our daily lives.
Then came the terrorist attack of 9/11, followed by attacks at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, San Bernandino, Orlando, and more. Now terrorists seem to be emerging everywhere, unleashing senseless death and destruction on our nation. They are here, and their goal is nothing less than global conquest. Motivated by ancient prophecies, they are flooding into Western countries, determined to conquer us and establish a global Muslim caliphate.
In The Barbarians Are Here, Dr. Michael Youssef provides clear insight into the motives and mission of the Islamist barbarians - and he offers practical steps we can take right now to begin a New Reformation that will restore the hope of Western civilization. We are not doomed to destruction, even though the barbarians are already here. It's not too late. But we haven't a moment to lose.

The emergence of Radical Islamists should be no surprise to students of Scripture. America is only now understanding their intense passion to rule, not only the Middle East, but the western world as well. Youssef points to passages that show us how biblical prophecy speaks to the awful things to come. Beware of the secret of the Mahdi!
Striking parallels exist between the "Beast" of Revelation (the Antichrist) and the prophetic figure in Islam known as the Mahdi. Muslims view the Mahdi as a great savior who will lead a revolution and establish a global Islamic empire over the West. Both the Antichrist and the Mahdi are associated with the end times and the Judgment. Both possess political, military, and religious power, and both head up a one-world religion. How this affects Americans today is revealed in Youssef's prophetic The Secret of the Mahdi.
Is there any hope for peace in the world? Or is terror our destiny?
In our post-9/11 world, Westerners in general-and Christians in particular-remain targets of Islamic terrorism. From the White House to 10 Downing Street, radical groups like the Muslim Brotherhood are appeased and allowed to operate freely in the West.
In a world that cries out for peace, which will prevail-Jesus or Jihad?
Bible-believing Christians wonder: What does Islamic extremism mean in terms of Bible prophecy? Do today's turbulent events have prophetic significance?
In Jesus, Jihad and Peace, Dr. Michael Youssef provides answers that are concise and biblically accurate, explaining how trends within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam fit into prophetic history. You will be filled with hope as you see God displaying His character and purpose through current global events.
