The Great Cloud of Witnesses by Trillia Newbell

 

The focus of this Bible study is Hebrews, Chapter 11. This is a 6 week Bible study which can be adapted to an 8 week study as well. Each week includes an overview for the week and 5 days to explore and reflect on the focus of the week. You can do this study on your own or in a group setting.

This study will strengthen and deepen your own faith and you explore the lives of Abel, Noah, Rahab, Abraham and many more who remained faithful while undergoing challenges to their faith. By examining the great cloud of witnesses, you will also be encouraged to look to the Lord as you run the race He has set before you. I appreciated this study and the encouragement it offered to help me persevere through my own challenges and to remember that God is faithful.

The Joy Switch by Chris M. Cursey

 

This is a very interesting book that shows how brain science has found there is an actual “switch” inside your brain that activates joy.  Joy is what aids healthy emotions to occur. When we are not experiencing joy and our switch is turned off, we are unable to be at our best. You can discover how to recognize when you are losing joy, identify what triggers turn off your joy switch and how to continue to stay in the joy mode.

This book will aid in improving your awareness of how your relationship circuit is functioning and how you can use the joy switch to turn it back on if you are not experiencing joy. Each chapter includes questions at the end to help you apply what you have read. This is a very practical and helpful book to aid you in improving your level of joy along with practical insights to improving how you relate with others.
