Have you ever found yourself in a storm of someone else’s making? For author Yvonne Hilton Bourgeois, that storm came in the midst of family difficulties. To get through it and realize she could not depend on herself to fix it, she began to visualize climbing into the trunk of her car, closing the trunk, and letting God drive.

In Meet Me in the Trunk, Yvonne shares important lessons on how she learned to cast aside her own judgment and depend on God alone. Facing day-to-day stresses at work, marriage difficulties, children, grandchildren, and relationships, Yvonne visited the “trunk” to let God minister to her anxious and wounded spirit. God never failed her, giving her messages to use for each situation.

With wit and wisdom, Yvonne breaks down each of these lessons and shows you how you can survive storms and even witness the rainbows that usually follow. She offers thought-provoking questions that challenge you to look deep inside your heart for the answers. Discussions include overcoming your humanness, setting aside selfishness, discovering the true meaning of the covenant, and much more.

For anyone whose life journey hits a bump every once in a while, Meet Me in the Trunk is an inspirational guide to letting God take control of your life.

In our daily lives, we all seek to become the greatest at everything we do. If that is true, we should seek to become the greatest follower of Christ. But what it takes to be great in God’s eyes is not seen as great in today’s world. Christ redefined the meaning of greatness, and if we are to truly follow him then we must seek to live out his life and words. There is no perfect formula on how to become a better Christian, but if we look intently at Christ’s greatest words he reveals how we can become great in his eyes.

In Wake Up, author Peggy White Russ shares her experiences as a pastor’s wife—experiences that led to an intense spiritual unrest and subsequent loss of the vision she once had for the ministry. Peggy reveals how she began her pursuit of the heart of God through a lengthy fast that uncluttered her spirit and allowed her to become amazingly sensitive to God. Just days before Christmas in 2008, she heard a specific call from God: “Wake up, Peggy. Wake up.” When she answered this summons from God, she could clearly see the church stepping into the end times. Peggy shares the beginning of her in-depth research on end-time prophecy and some of the material she used to teach her class about the prophetic events happening in this era of time.

Wake Up reveals God’s love toward the seeking soul—lifting them from the rubble of trials and then enlisting them into His end-time army of triumphant, spiritually aware warriors. Follow Peggy down the path of her discontentment and trails to the mountaintop of spiritual awakening.

Every one of us has moments of truth in life. These moments, crossroads, or chapters in life can be summed up in three words every Christian should know—three simple yet powerful words that ultimately define who we are today and what we will become in the future. Those words are love, forgiveness, and acceptance.

In Moments of Truth, author D. L. Formhals shares his story of inner struggle and his journey to love, forgiveness, and acceptance. Formhals presents stories and biblical principles in Moments of Truth that guide you to the knowledge that God will help you understand the past and deal with the future in a whole new way. Set the power of love, forgiveness, and acceptance in motion in your life.

As oxygen, water, and food are to the human body, love, forgiveness, and acceptance are to the spirit. As the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are a team, with each member fulfilling distinct purposes, these three powerful words act in service of a divine plan and purpose as well. Moments of Truth will help you make a real, lasting, positive change in your life.

When packing for a trip, carrying excess baggage can make your trip more difficult than it should be. Excess baggage in our lives can have the same effects; it can weigh us down and place insurmountable pressure on our lives

This guide explores the kind of excess baggage that a Christian may be carrying through life. Author Zebria Coffey has defined it as, among other things, behavior that does not befit a Christian, such as wrath, malice, jealousy, anger, filthy language, evil desires, and a lying tongue. She also includes the challenge of taking on too many activities without considering the time and energy it will take to complete them. We have all been guilty at one time or another of saying yes to too many projects or activities, only to feel burnt out at the end.  

Excess baggage is burdensome to us. It is necessary to begin to identify and acknowledge it in our lives and then make a conscious decision to lighten our loads. The message in Excess Baggage reminds us of what our most important priority in life should be—putting God before all others. When we put God first, He directs our path in life and helps us to determine how best to handle tasks and priorities as they are presented to us.

Have the same old things in life lost their power to thrill you? Does life too often seem empty and meaningless? Do you wonder where we came from, why we are here on this earth, and where—if anywhere—we will go when we die? Perhaps you are afraid of what the future holds, as each day, new and seemingly unsolvable problems emerge to challenge mankind. Lost to Found is author Lynne Avery’s firsthand account of her personal journey from intellectual bondage to a personal knowledge of God. For decades, Lynne watched as God gave other people meaning and hope but provided none for her. Her intellect told her there was no God, life had no meaning, and evolution was the sole cause of our unintended existence. Her heart told her differently. Lynne now shares with other intellectual skeptics the path to faith and beyond that led her to an internal certainty of God’s presence. Her story is one that offers hope to all who are weary of the emptiness of life.

Most people believe life to be a linear experience. They see their existence as a slow, often monotonous migration from birth to childhood, blasting through adolescence and college. Then there’s the relentless strain of work, family, and the struggles life brings. Ultimately, most people have a sense there is more to come, a life beyond this treadmill—more than an existence: a fulfillment.

The Journey of Life is a culmination of a project taken on by one church and its staff. Led by Dr. Glen Martin, senior pastor of Journey of Faith Church, the goal is more than a book and more than a series. The goal is to encourage people to see life as a journey and offer a community, known as Journey of Faith Church, an invitation to examine what God wants us to learn along the way.

We invite you to join us through The Journey of Life. There are lessons to learn and principles to extract. After all, it is the Scriptures that teach us a heart of wisdom awaits those who learn to “number our days.” Welcome to The Journey of Life.
