After becoming a Christian, believers discover the joy of God's voice, but often the purity and freshness of that initial experience becomes clouded by the daily routine of life. In How to Listen to God Dr. Charles Stanley helps readers rediscover how to distinguish God's voice from all other voices around them, and how to joyfully and obediently respond. Dr. Stanley uses personal experiences from his life and ministry to discuss: why God wants to communicate with us, how God gets our attention, how God communicates with us, and how to listen to God and enjoy His presence.

Dr. Charles Stanley explores the non-negotiable life principles that should be reflected in the life of every Christian.

To many in the world, the Christian faith is a set of rules and regulations. But Jesus himself did not teach his followers dos and don'ts; he taught them foundational principles to live by. "These life principles," Charles Stanley says, "are the simple truths that act as a compass for our souls. All Christians must live them in order to fulfill their purpose and experience intimate relationship with Christ."

Using examples from his own personal experiences, Biblical personalities, and case studies, Dr. Stanley demonstrates how these key life principles impact life in the 21st century-and how they make us, as Christians, different from those who live their lives according to preference rather than principles. Each chapter offers additional online material, as well as criteria for how you can measure your own personal growth on each principle.

Looking for a church with modern spiritual disciplines? Stop.

God has something to say about Bible study, prayer witnessing, church attendance, service, and obedience, but many churches are unknowingly losing what God wants in an effort to become more relevant and increase attendance. Dr. Charles Stanley helps you take another look at what the Bible says concerning the age-old tools presented in the Scriptures and lets you decide if your church is still doing it right.

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.

The Life Principles Study Guides are perfect companions to Dr. Stanley's Life Principles Bible or for use on their own. They are a unique approach to Bible study, incorporating biblical truth, personal insights, emotional responses, and a call to action. Whether you use a study in a group or as an individual, it will help you get in touch with the Bible, God, and yourself.

What is God like? Can I trust Him? Does He know me and can He help me tackle the challenges I face?

There is a good chance you do not know God the way He desires and certainly not the way He knows you. Most people know a little something about Him, but their knowledge of who He is and how He works stops just past the point of an initial introduction.

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

In Step with God offers steps that lead not only to a deeply personal relationship with Jesus Christ but also provides the insight you need to live each day. In a simple, clear way Dr. Charles Stanley, one of America's most loved and trusted pastors, encourages and challenges you to approach life and its decisions-both big and small-by first knowing and considering God's character. Inside you will learn how to

▪gain greater intimacy with God

▪understand how He uses trials to build you up

▪learn the signs of God's goodness in day-to-day life

▪cling more firmly to His love and forgiveness

▪discover God's relentless commitment to your well being.

"The nearer I draw to the Lord," writes Dr. Stanley, "the more I will know about Him-His love for me and His good plans and desires for my life. Plus, the more intimate I become with God, the better I understand His ways, and this understanding leads to a deeper longing to know God better. I learn how to discern His will not only for my life but also for the situations I encounter."

Satan doesn't usually hit us with an all-out frontal attack. It's the little 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.

TALKING TO GOD IS EASY. IT'S THE LISTENING THAT'S THE HARD PART. Although most of us can talk with ease to our best friend, many of us aren't so good at keeping quiet and hearing what our friend has to say. So it is with God. For true communication with Him, we must learn to listen through understanding His Word. Dr. Charles Stanley's Listening to God, part of the Life Principles Study Series, presents a sound way to explore the Word and hear God's truths. You'll learn to identify with the passages, recognize your emotional response, reflect on the passages' meaning and take steps to apply what you've learned.

At some point every Christian will experience a satanic attack-a willful, determined assault by the Devil to harm our spirit, soul, or body. God wants Christians to be under His control, but the Enemy will do his best to destroy everything good in our lives. So the question is not how to avoid satanic attacks, but how to overcome them.

Satan is a very powerful adversary. However, God does not leave us to defend ourselves, and He wants us to understand His supernatural and unlimited ability to help us. Dr. Stanley will show readers how to achieve victory by:

• Identifying the enemy
• Dressing in the full armor of God and standing firm
• Releasing God's energy, divine power, and protection through prayer
• Sensing the forewarnings of Satan's attacks on finances, family, relationships, or health

Spiritual warfare is fought every day on the battlefield of your mind. The Adversary knows that if he can direct your thinking, it's only a matter of time before you're vulnerable to the allure of sin. Dr. Stanley teaches that to stand against Satan's attacks, you must meditate upon biblical principles and arm yourself with the sword of the spirit-God's Word.

True communication with God is more than talking to God, it's talking with God-through prayer. Prayer that involves speaking and listening.

WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT, YOU ARE IN A WAR. Believers know that the wicked, destroying acts of Satan are not just a fable. He is behind the temptations and battles you face everyday and the power of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ is the only way to fight this real, evil force. In Overcoming the Enemy, a Life Principles Study Series, Dr. Charles Stanley explores the necessary weapons you need to fight the enemy for victorious living. This is no bedtime story. This one is as real as it gets.

They eagerly anticipated Christ's return and talked about it daily like we talk about our team's chance for the Super Bowl. In Preparing for Christ's Return, a part of the Life Principles Study Series, you'll learn how to live a life of satisfaction, purpose, and meaning - a life that brings great reward now and in eternity.
