Getting Free: How To Overcome Persistent Personal Problems
Free yourself from persistent sinful habits — once and for all! Simple willpower isn’t enough when you’re struggling against anger, anxiety, addictions, sexual temptations, and other common problems. Bert Ghezzi, author of this engaging and practical guide, insists that the power of the Holy Spirit — and only that power — is strong enough to overcome these deeply rooted and disheartening difficulties. Best of all, he shows how you can tap into the Spirit’s power now.
Ghezzi, the author of many popular Catholic books (including Voices of the Saints), helps you see exactly what you’re up against in dealing with these problems. He details how you can and must be vigilant against temptations, and points the way for you to experience real freedom from evil influences.
His advice, which is firmly rooted in the wisdom of the saints, helps you gain the Spirit’s power both in your individual spiritual life and in your relationships. You’ll learn how to trust Jesus more and to control your thoughts — as well as how to let go of grudges and how to place your dealings with others on a firm Christian footing.
Ghezzi’s forthright, Holy Spirit-centered approach gives you trustworthy, tested ways to gain the freedom that only God can give.
Say goodbye to those nagging problems for good as you learn:
• Sexual thoughts: when they’re sinful — and when they aren’t
• The two options offered to you by each problem that you encounter — will you make the right choice?
• "Friendship with the world": what it is, and why it makes you an enemy of God
• The one thing you must do — or you’ll certainly lose all your battles against sin
• "The flesh": what St. Paul means when he uses this term — it’s not what you think!
• Curiosity: harmless? It can lead you into sin! Why you should be on guard
• Much more that Bert Ghezzi will show you about how to live in the freedom of Christ !
Holy Confidence: The Forgotten Path for Growing Closer to God
Too many Christians believe that they please God better by a trembling submission to Him rather than a sweet and confiding liberty. In these pages, Fr. Rogacci shows us that time and time again, Our Lord insisted that we be at ease with Him. Where there is too much fear, there is no room for love.
In persuasive and surprising ways, Fr. Rogacci shows us how to gain full confidence in God and how our familiarity with Him is the most efficacious way to promote His glory — and our own happiness. You’ll also learn:
• How fear of damnation promotes neither humility nor even brings about true conversion
• Proven false: the claim that Scripture demands we live in fear of God
• How to eliminate the fears which smother your confidence in God and banish spiritual joy
• Why God’s majesty should be no obstacle to friendship with him
• Will only a few souls be saved? Learn the surprising truth from Scripture
• Why it’s not merely erroneous, but actually unjust to accuse God of severity
• Why your sins should not diminish your confidence in God
• Why friendship with God never requires you be worthy of it
• How to guarantee that you will have final perseverance in the love of God
• How to set aside all doubts about your ultimate salvation. Plus: why you should do so now
Confidence in the love of God is the surest way to grow daily closer to Him. Deeply rooted in Scripture and the writings of the saints, these wise pages will not only convince you of this, but will provide solid, reasoned, Scriptural ways that you can develop greater confidence in Our Lord and attain final union with Him in Heaven.
