Books about God pleasing from Amazon.com

Christians are called to be servants, caring for the needs of other people. But when these caregivers begin to forfeit their own God–given calling and identity in an unhealthy desire to please others, they move from servanthood to codependency. How can they get back on track?

Readers will resonate with the real–life illustrations of people who no longer know what they think, want, or feel because they have unwittingly allowed other voices of other people to drown out the voice of God. Suggestions for redirecting unhealthy relationships will empower readers to rediscover their own value and personal contribution. Applications to the home, to work settings, and to the church will help them become more effective servants of God.

Confused by her ability to feel other people’s feelings, highly sensitive Jenna comforts herself by rescuing dead animals and escaping from elementary school. When her parents divorce, her mentally ill grandmother moves in and her sensitive uncle commits suicide. After the funeral, Jenna begins to read the messages coming in through her senses more clearly, as comforting guidance and premonitions about love, life, people and the planet. This is a decade-long journey of a girl whose nervous system is intricately developed, leading to sensory highs and emotional lows. Every secret thought and fear of this sensitive child (ages 6-17) is revealed here. Since 15-20% of kids and adults have the trait of high sensitivity, this perspective needs to be heard. The story addresses a sensitive child/teen's anxiety, sadness, courage, and urgent desire to do good things for the world. Edited by Emmy Award winner Molly McKitterick. Endorsed by Psychologist Elaine Aron and Author, Coach Eva Gregory..

Formal and comtemplative services in vast cathedrals are as much a part of Christian worship today as casual and boisterous services in refurbished warehouses. Yet this very diversity raises the question, Are all forms of worship equally pleasing to God?

Worship wars have erupted over so many issues--musical styles and liturgical formats, as well as more serious concerns like whether or not to orient services toward seekers--that often the spirit of the age has silenced the Spirit of Christ and left us wondering what is acceptable in God's eyes.

This booklet guides believers in recovering biblical worship. It will help you think about what pleases God, evaluate worship from a biblical point of view, and restore Him to the center of our worship, where He belongs.
