What would you give to have true contentment, joy without end, and lasting peace? Most of us would say, “Anything!” especially when we are dealing with the stormy pressures of life.

In 10 Principles for Studying Your Bible, Dr. Charles Stanley provides practical insight into God’s word by walking you through the highlights of his own personal Bible study. He states how you don’t have to go through life wondering if the next storm will be the one that washes your life out to sea.

In this book, Dr. Stanley will help you discover how to:

• Be faithful in prayer and have a heart for worship,
• Apply God’s promises to your life,
• Hide God’s word in your heart, and more!

God tells us that if we seek Him, we will find Him and when we uncover His truth, we gain clear direction for our lives and circumstances. Those who begin this journey into understanding the Bible quickly realize his word is a doorway to divine principles and life’s greatest blessings.

10 Principles for Studying Your Bible reveals how God has an answer for your greatest need, but it is only found in the study of His Word.

Why does God allow adversity?

God has a plan and a purpose for each of us, and He can turn things to good regardless of the situation we face. These two key principles-rooted in Scripture and evidenced in the lives of Christians throughout the ages-should color the lenses through which all followers of Christ view adversity. In Advancing Through Adversity, Dr. Charles Stanley provides a new perspective on the trials we face, revealing what questions to ask and what lessons can be learned from such times. Understanding God’s role and bolstering our courage can help us advance through adversity rather than be overcome by it.

God’s wisdom about expressing emotions.

Emotions are a gift from God, who created each of us with a capacity to feel and to express our feelings to others. For this reason, we need to know how to express our emotions in healthy ways, learn how to cope with negative emotions, direct our emotions toward good outcomes, and give voice to our feelings in order to improve communication. In Becoming Emotionally Whole, Dr. Charles Stanley reveals how regardless of where we are on the spectrum of emotional growth-from denial to full expression-we can take the necessary steps that God wants us to take to have truth and lasting emotional health.

When things are going your way, trusting the Lord is easy. But when painful trials, unmet needs, or lost dreams assail, do you wonder if God can still be trusted? What do you do when facing a challenge that seems insurmountable? Do you believe God can be trusted? In Can You Still Trust God?, Dr. Charles Stanley reveals three essential beliefs for trusting God:

• God is perfect in His love.
• God is infinite in wisdom.
• God is absolutely sovereign.

Can You Still Trust God? is a message of:

• hope for anyone struggling to reconcile the suffering and turmoil in the world with a loving God.
• truth for pastors, ministers, and Bible study leaders searching for a resource to teach their communities about God‚Äôs promises and how to deepen trust in Him.

Even when you cannot understand why God would allow certain situations to occur, these core beliefs form the basis for trusting Him. Your ability to receive the blessings God has for you is determined by the degree to which these wise truths are embedded in your soul.

Beloved pastor Dr. Charles Stanley takes us back to our truest and best reason for celebration—the birth of Christ. By revisiting the people and events of that first Christmas, Dr. Stanley reveals the unique lessons that long-ago starry night offers to each of us today. Such timeless truths as . . .

• true peace and joy are found only in Christ, not in the things of this world;
• Christmas itself is undeniable evidence that God always keeps His promises;
• the Lord God not only lives and reigns, but He is intimately involved in every circumstance of our lives; and
• the perfect gift for us to give Jesus is the gift of our own heart.

Christmas is a gift to everyone on earth. That gift has different meaning to God—Christ’s birth was His perfect plan that unfolded in His perfect time. This message is followed by a celebration of who Jesus is—God came down, reigning King, suffering Servant, Savior of the world—and the lessons learned through His birth from the perspectives of:

• Mary, the virgin mother
• Joseph, faithful and obedient servant of God
• the innkeeper who had no vacancy
• the townspeople who were indifferent to what was happening around them
• the wise men who, by faith, followed the star and brought gifts of genuine worship and adoration
• and Isaiah, looking for the wonderful counselor

Christmas: A Gift for Every Heart is a highly designed Christmas gift book with beautiful callouts, Dr. Stanley’s own personal thoughts and memories, Scripture, and four-color photography. This will be a treasured gift for Advent and Christmas that will be read again and again.

Listening and speaking to God.

Prayer is communication. It is not a formula that we have memorized, or an empty repetition of words and phrases, but our conversation with God-with us first speaking and then listening to what God has to say to us in return. However, as Dr. Charles Stanley reveals in Deepening Your Prayer Life, our prayers go beyond mere human interaction in that they give us access into the very throne room of God. Our heavenly Father grants us the privilege to come before him with authority because of our position in Christ. When we do, we can be bold in believing that God will accomplish what He promised He would do in our lives.

How to serve with generosity and love.

Service is giving, and giving is the very essence of the gospel. God gave His only begotten Son. Jesus gave His life on the cross. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to resist sin and follow God’s commands. It is from this abundance of what we have been given that God calls us to then freely give ourselves-to actually develop a mindset in which we look first to the needs of others above our own interests. In Developing a Servant’s Heart, Dr. Charles Stanley shows how each of us have been equipped, empowered, and charged to do this as we follow the example of Jesus-the Supreme Servant.

True freedom is found in forgiveness.

Every day, we hear dozens of outside opinions: from our spouses and our family members to our coworkers and our church community, but how can we shift our focus away from the clamor of other voices so we don’t miss what God is trying to tell us?

How to Listen to God helps you distinguish God’s voice from all the rest. Bestselling author Dr. Charles Stanley shares the lessons he’s learned on his own journey to listening to the God who wants to communicate personally with you, including:

• How God gets your attention
• Four ways God speaks to you
• The importance of your own spiritual mindset
• Scriptural guidelines for recognizing God’s voice
• The joys and fruits from listening to God
• Ten hindrances to hearing God

Along the way, you’ll learn firsthand that just a few minutes of sitting before the God who speaks can transform a life, refocus a mind, and reset purpose and direction for eternity. The sad heart is cheered, the confused mind is ordered, the pessimistic outlook is eliminated, the lonely spirit is befriended, the rebellious will is subdued, and the drifting seeker is made steadfast.

Join Dr. Stanley as he shows us that we’ve never been more equipped to confidently hear from God. How to Listen to God will teach you that God’s voice waits to be heard and, when we’ve finally heard it, we’re launched into the greatest, most exciting adventure we could ever imagine.

Why is it so important to know the One who knows all about you? The answer is simple: When you come to a point where you understand his ways, your life takes on new meaning.

Most people know a little something about God, but their knowledge of who he is and how he works stops just past the point of an initial introduction.

In Step with God, pastor and author Charles F. Stanley offers simple, clear teaching that answers questions such as:

• What is God like?
• Can I trust him?
• Does he know me, and can he help me tackle the challenges I face?

You stop looking at old problems and feeling defeat, fear, and anxiety. Suddenly, you realize that the Person who gave you life has set an amazing course for you to follow.

Step with God encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisions–both big and small–by first knowing and considering God’s character.

Satan doesn’t usually hit us with an all-out frontal attack. It’s the subtle landmines that do the most damage. They’re hidden just below life’s surface, and at the slightest misstep-BOOM! Suddenly you find yourself flown right off the path, feeling separated from God and His blessings, humiliated, estranged from the love and respect of friends and family.

Dr. Charles Stanley addresses nine main landmines that every Christian needs to be able to identify:

• Pride
• Jealousy and Envy
• Insecurity
• Compromise
• Unforgiveness
• Disappointment
• Fear
• Immorality
• Laziness

Life may be a minefield, but that doesn’t mean you have to live in fear. Dr. Stanley spells out the biblical principles for avoiding and defusing each of these landmines. In the midst of spiritual warfare, this book is a call to live in the strong peace of God.

Does God speak to us today?

Although most of us can talk with ease to our best friend, many of us aren’t so good at being quiet and hearing what our friend has to say. So it is with God. For true communication to happen with Him, we must learn to listen through understanding His Word. In Listening to God, Dr. Charles Stanley presents a sound way to explore God’s Word and hear His truths. He reveals how we can identify with passages of Scripture, reflect on their meaning, and then develop practical steps to apply what we have learned.

Defeat the devil every time he attacks.

Many people today believe the devil does not exist. They think he is merely an ancient myth or a metaphor to explain the presence of evil in our world. However, the Bible clearly teaches that Satan is very real-and that he will stop at nothing to bring about our destruction. That’s the bad news. But as Dr. Charles Stanley explains in Overcoming the Enemy, the good news is that Jesus Christ has already defeated the devil-utterly, permanently, and irrevocably. While this does not mean we will never be confronted with his evil, we have the promise that in Christ we will always have the victory over him.

Learn the whole truth about the Holy Spirit.

It’s not a bad thing for Christians to respond to the Holy Spirit with wide-eyed wonder. Certainly, the Holy Spirit should inspire our awe and admiration. Unfortunately, for many believers these feelings of wonder come about as a result of puzzlement instead of adoration. But the truth of the matter is that the role of the Holy Spirit does not have to be a mystery in our lives and we will miss out greatly on God’s power if we choose to ignore Him. In Relying on the Holy Spirit, Charles F. Stanley cuts through the confusion and introduces us to a living Person as real and active as God the Father and Christ the Son. We can know what God’s Word says about who the Spirit is–and how to develop a relationship with Him.

Ever wondered why it seems your life is going nowhere? Thoughts of giving up, tossing in the towel, and walking away plague your every step. In Stuck in Reverse, Dr. Charles Stanley issues one clear call, “No matter what life sends your way, don’t give up. God is at work, and if you will let Him, He will show you the steps you need to take to be free from the bondages of low self-esteem, fear, and disappointment.”

Fear, sin, disbelief, and hesitation can paralyze a person, but God has a wonderful plan in mind for your life. Dr. Charles Stanley explains how you can

• break free of the reverse rut
• enjoy the good things God has for you
• experience success as you place your trust in God

Wrong turns and detours do not have to prevent you from reaching your dreams and goals. Get ready to shift out of reverse and into drive as you learn how to live an abundant life full of hope and meaning.

“Success is defined by a continuing desire to be the person God called you to be and to achieve those goals that God helps you to set,” says Charles Stanley. In¬†Success God’s Way,¬†Stanley teaches God’s principles for success, including ten steps to help you reach God’s goals in your life, and what to do about the seven success blockers that entangle believers.

“Dr. Stanley has defined success in a timeless manner?knowing and doing the will of God. When a person knows Christ personally and consistently obeys the principles of Scripture, he is prepared for success God’s way.” ?Franklin Graham, Chairman and CEO, Samaritan’s Purse; CEO, Billy Graham evangelistic Association

“In a society that increasingly judges the success of individuals by the clothes they wear, the car they drive, the club they belong to, or the career they choose, the church desperately needs to reaffirm biblical standards. Once again, Dr. Stanley has brought clear focus to a timely issue.¬†Success God’s Way¬†challenges readers to reexamine whether or not they are sacrificing genuine, lasting success on the altar of a worldly, temporary counterfeit and therefore sesttling for a lot less than what God wants to give them.” ?Anne Graham Lotz, International Bible Teacher and Bestselling Author

“In an age when our thinking is skewed, our zeal is waning, and our desire for excellence is deadened by apathetic self-centeredness, this book presents many biblical insights that challenge us to hear God’s Word to Joshua to meditate on God’s Word and be strong and courageous so we can have success.” ?Kay Arthur, Precept Ministries International

The premise of this book is that learning to let go of anger–and ultimately forgiving the offender–will transform the foundation of every kind of relationship we have. Stanley defines anger as “a strong feeling of intense displeasure, hostility, or indignation as a result of a real or an imagined threat or insult, frustration, or injustice toward yourself or towards someone who’s very important to you.” Building on this defintion, Stanley…

1. Helps readers identify the signs of anger, so they can identify anger in themselves.

2. Reveals the far-reaching consequences of anger, which encompass the spiritual, emotional, and physical.

3. Teaches readers how to handle anger through thirteen concrete steps.

4. Walks readers through the steps to true forgiveness and the healing power it brings.

With compassion and a wealth of biblical understanding, Stanley explains that the measure of a person is “the size of thing that makes them angry.” He goes on to distinguish between healthy and harmful anger and reminds us that “righteous indignation” is a divine emotion. However, he skillfully explains that misguided anger eats away at ourselves, our relationships with others, and our relationship with God. By helping readers look honestly at the source of their anger, he gently leads them to the ability to truly forgive and find the peace they seek.

Perhaps you’ve already experienced circumstances so shattering you may wonder today whether it’s even possible to pick up the pieces. And maybe you can’t. But God can — and the good news is, he wants to reassemble the shards of your life into a wholeness that only the broken can know.

In this book, Charles Stanley, one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our day, describes the key to personal and even world peace. Stanley points out that there is no sin so shockingly evil it blocks God’s forgiveness nor so trivial it negates the need for God’s mercy and shares the specifics of how to go about receiving and giving forgiveness.

The Gift of Forgiveness reflects the heart of Stanley’s teaching ministry. In this markedly helpful audiobook, he addresses such questions as how to practice a life of forgiveness in all your relationships and how to make forgiveness an ongoing, practical experience in your life.

Reflection questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

The Power of God’s Love by Dr. Charles Stanley is a thirty-one day devotional that provides insight into God’s love for you.

There is only one Person who can meet all of your needs, especially the need to be loved, and that is Jesus Christ.

Believe it or not, the greatest need people express is for love. People want to know someone loves them and will go to any extreme to find this. They move from relationship to relationship thinking the next person they meet will satisfy. But it never happens. They come up empty-handed?feeling more alone, unloved, and mistreated than ever–because they don’t look to Jesus.

• God loves you unconditionally.
• He created you in love.
• He has a purpose for your life.
• He has promised to love you forever.

When you give your life to Him, your search for true love is over!”
