Facing Your Giants

by Max Lucado

Facing Your Giants is a book by Max Lucado. Just like David, you can face your giants even if you aren't the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, or the holiest. David gives this reminder: focus on giants---you stumble; focus on God---your giants tumble. If you're ready to face your giants, let David's story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you. The dates and times have not yet been determined so if you are interested in this study, please contact Jana Kincannon to voice your preferences.

Cure for the Common Life

by Max Lucado

"Sweet spot." Golfers understand the term. So do tennis players. Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot. Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. But you don't have to swing a bat or a club to know this. What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you. A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot. <more>
