Free Stuff Fridays (Moody Publishers)

Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Moody Publishers who also sponsored the blog this week. They are giving away 5 copies of Practicing the Present: The Neglected Art of Living in the Now by John Koessler.

Here’s how they describe it:

The present is more than a place where the past comes to rest.

It is more than a staging ground for the future.

The present is where God shows up.

We live our lives in the present, but often our minds are racing toward the future or overwhelmed by the past. We want to change the past and control the future, but usually, all we really do is exhaust ourselves in the here and now. Writing especially with church leaders in mind, Dr. John Koessler, a former pastor and professor, teaches you how to evade the tyranny of past regrets and future plans and meet God right where you are, in the present.

  • Zealous but Misguided

    In his letter to the church at Rome, the apostle Paul expresses his sorrow about some people who were zealously religious yet tragically misguided. “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God,” he says, “but not according to knowledge” (Romans 10:2).

    To Be a Woman

    I sometimes wonder what future generations will make of the modern West here in the early decades of the 21st century. I sometimes wonder what they will think of us when they discover that one of the defining questions of our age is also one of the most straightforward: What is a woman? Yet an…
