Discover the grit you need to persevere through life's hard times-with the resilience, honesty, and unshakeable joy of Jesus-with the popular pastor and host of Hillsong Channel's Real with Daniel Fusco and Jesus Is Real Radio
"You're Gonna Make It will give you the kind of resilience that doesn't just help you survive hardship, but helps you bounce back even stronger."-Levi Lusko, lead pastor of Fresh Life Church and bestselling author
Most of us are just trying to get through the next twenty-four hours . . . let alone being ready to deal with the stress, anxiety, and suffering that arise when least expected.
But it's possible to move from fear and worry to the positive anticipation life should hold. See, there's a way to survive the maddening chaos of this world, but it is only found in Jesus.
Pastor and author Daniel Fusco discovered this the hard way. He's experienced his share of loss, including the death of loved ones. Through diving into the Bible and deep times of prayer and reflection, Daniel has found a new closeness to Jesus and uncovered a way of resilience, perseverance, and grit.
Jesus never promised a life of ease. He promised to be with us through everything. God can create good from all things, leading us into His promise of abundant life. We can persevere in hope. Right here. Right now.
You can persevere in God's promise. Because you're gonna make it.
Hi, I'm Alexis Delaney. I'm your average seventeen-year-old girl. Except I can see the dead. And talk to the dead and help them move on. So . . . okay, I'm not your average seventeen-year-old girl. The Veil is still shut. Which means the dead can't move on, not on their own. Through my Link to the Veil, I've been able to start helping souls to cross. The Veil is changing, healing. Like I am.
Since I came home from the hospital, I've been hiding behind my best friends. That's about to change. I want my life back. I'm ready to get back to normal. Then Sophie, the twins' little sister, tells me she's ready to cross over. Ethan pulled her back, and now it was time to face it. I have to tell Ethan and Isaac their sister's soul is in their house. What the hell am I going to say?
Hi, I'm Alexis Delaney. I'm your average seventeen-year-old girl. Except I can see the dead. And talk to the dead and help them move on. So . . . okay, I'm not your average seventeen-year-old girl. Right now, the Veil is shut off, and the Way is closed. Which means the dead can't move on, so, they are camping out on my lawn. I'm trying to open the Way, juggle school and, well, deal with my feelings for two of my best friends. If that isn't enough, notes have been showing up in my locker since I got back from Christmas vacation. Things are getting creepier as time goes on. He's actually starting to scare me, to be honest. But with the guys, I'll be fine. They've got my back. No one is crazy enough to take on Zeke. Right?
My name is Alexis Delaney, and I'm your average seventeen-year-old girl. Except I'm a Necromancer. Which means I can see the dead, talk to them, and help them move on. Well, I used to be able to. Someone has sealed the Veil. Now the dead are stuck here. And with the extra energy floating around town, the ghosts are getting stronger. It's been two months since I came to Spring Mountain to live with Uncle Rory. And the guys, my five best friends, have done everything they can to help since. Things for once were almost normal; my issues with the dead had become routine. Until they all found girlfriends. Now I'm back to hiding everything again. With ghosts leaving their haunting grounds at will and new people asking questions as I try to build my link to the Veil, I don't know how the hell I'm going to pull this one off. But it can't get that bad, right?
My name is Alexis, though everyone calls me Lexie. I'm a Necromancer. I see the dead, talk to them, and help them move on. Well, I used to.
Now, with the Veil closed, I'm the only way for a soul to cross over. It's wearing me out, and according to my doctor, it's going to kill me.
I don't know how to tell the guys. I'm working on it, but there is so much going on right now; Isaac's acting strange, Ethan's worried that his brother isn't eating or sleeping, Asher's dad is back, and Tara is still snooping around my bedroom.
My symptoms are getting worse, and we're running out of time. For everyone.
What is the gospel? Bryan Chapell explains that the gospel is the message that God sent a savior to rescue broken people, restore creation's glory, and rule over all with compassion and justice. This new booklet from the Gospel Coalition examines the gospel's proclamation that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ provides for those who believe all that God requires and leads to eternal life. But this ancient, unfolding story of salvation is not limited to personal spiritual realities. God's rescue, restoration, and rule through Christ renew hearts, empower lives, and transform the world. What Is the Gospel? examines how the salvation that unfolds in Scripture grants to God's people the right to participate in the furthering of the kingdom that transforms all things for his glory. What Is the Gospel? offers a thoughtful explanation for point 6 of the Gospel Coalition's confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.

Second, unlock the critical enabler's willingness and ability to provide what you need by offering her something valuable before you ask her for anything. Filled with success stories, Curtiss book redefines what it means to be well-connected and shows that all of us have more to offerand more that we can getwhen we approach networking the right way.

Hi, I'm Alexis Delaney. I'm your average seventeen-year-old girl. Except I can see the dead. And talk to the dead. And push them away and, well, help them move on. So . . . okay, I'm not your average seventeen-year-old girl. For years I've been struggling to survive the souls still roaming around. The shitheads always seem to find me. Moving from town to town every few months never helped either. More dead just always find me. But things are changing for me now. I'm moving in with my uncle Rory and cousin Tara. I'm finally going to be able to do normal teenage stuff I've been missing out on. Right? Well, if this one bitch of a ghost could leave me alone on campus that would be great. Especially since I haven't told my new friends about my abilities. Can you believe this? Five good-looking guys practically adopt me on my first day of school, and I still think they're a bit nuts for it. Now if I can only keep my life with the dead from mixing with my normal life everything would be great. Yeah . . . I don't see that happening either. But I'm going to give it a shot. Who knows? It might work.
A comprehensive guide that demonstrates how anyone, from seasoned fighter to average citizen, can become an effective warrior in the inevitable battle against the undead.

Jonathan Gottschall explores why we tell stories and what stories reveal about human nature, in this original and insightful book.
Humans live in landscapes of make-believe. We spin fantasies. We devour novels, films, and plays. Even sporting events and criminal trials unfold as narratives. Yet the world of story has long remained an undiscovered and unmapped country. It's easy to say that humans are "wired" for story, but why?
In this delightful and original book, Jonathan Gottschall offers the first unified theory of storytelling. He argues that stories help us navigate life's complex social problems-just as flight simulators prepare pilots for difficult situations. Storytelling has evolved, like other behaviors, to ensure our survival.
Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, Gottschall tells us what it means to be a storytelling animal. Did you know that the more absorbed you are in a story, the more it changes your behavior? That all children act out the same kinds of stories, whether they grow up in a slum or a suburb? That people who read more fiction are more empathetic?
Of course, our story instinct has a darker side. It makes us vulnerable to conspiracy theories, advertisements, and narratives about ourselves that are more "truthy" than true. National myths can also be terribly dangerous: Hitler's ambitions were partly fueled by a story. But as Gottschall shows in this remarkable book, stories can also change the world for the better. Most successful stories are moral-they teach us how to live, whether explicitly or implicitly, and bind us together around common values. We know we are master shapers of story. The Storytelling Animal finally reveals how stories shape us.
The church of Jesus Christ is the focus of God's plan for creation--a plan to reclaim all things for his glory. In The Church: God's New People, Savage shows how it is within this corporate body that the larger dimensions of God's plan for creation receive breathtaking definition. This booklet examines hallmarks of the universal church, including unity and love toward God and man, giving practical shape to each characteristic as it is manifested in the local body. Because the church is the corporate dwelling place of God's Spirit and his continuing witness to the world, Savage contends that it loves the world most faithfully when it embodies what the world does not have. The church's radiant love as the body of Christ is the only sure antidote to a postmodern world mired in sin and despair and has the power to actually transform all that it touches. The Church: God's New People is a Gospel Coalition audio booklet designed to offer a thoughtful explanation for point 11 of the ministry's confessional statement. The Gospel Coalition is an evangelical renewal movement dedicated to a Scripture-based reformation of ministry practices.
