The city of Corinth was well known in the ancient world as a place where every desire could be sated, where every discerning taste could find satisfaction. Unfortunately, the Corinthian church, instead of living generous and sacrificial lives, became infected with the "me, myself, and I" culture for which their city was famous. According to the apostle Paul, the Christians in Corinth ignored the poor and marginalized and focused on their own selfish agendas. Conlon believes that the cultural priorities of twenty-first century North America are not so very different from ancient Corinth--and that the modern church too often makes the "Corinthian mistake." In The 180 Degree Christian, Conlon calls today's church to turn away from its self-centeredness and toward the selfless serving like that of Christ.

We need to recover a truth that has been all but lost in modern-day Christianity. It has been buried for too long, and it is too valuable to be forgotten. This life-changing truth is that the heart is the key to everything in the Christian life. The heart is the wellspring of all our actions, emotions, motives, and character. Everything we are, everything we say, and everything we do flows directly from the heart. In The Heart-The Key to Everything in the Christian Life, believers will discover how the heart is central to spiritual growth and how it will help us better reflect the image of Christ in a fallen world. The heart is the key to our service and obedience to the Father. The heart is the key to the purity and depth of our worship, praise, and love of God. It is time the Christian church once again teaches a proper understanding of the heart so that we can fully embrace and manifest the life of Christ within us.

Can a homeless meth addict change or even become a pastor? Can a Christian murderer change or even become a Christian leader? Change is easier than you might think. The key to change is to understand how change is a process and not an event. Seeds are to forests what thoughts are to culture. Changing the culture of your life is like steering a ship. At first it appears that not much is going on. Steadily, over time, there begins to be a noticeable change in scenery. So many people live so far below what God has planned for their lives because they simply do not understand the process of change. Do you? If not, then you will find a wealth of knowledge in Lawrence Neisent's 180-Degree Turnaround. You may not believe it, but with Neisent's help, you can go from merely existing to truly living!

Turn around. Today. Right Now. God is calling you back to Him. In Facing the Father: 180 Degrees To God, Michael Carozza calls us all to turn away from the hopelessness of humanity and focus our faith on our future in heaven. This is not a new calling. God has been urging His people humbly to seek His face for thousands of years. His promises are real: forgiveness, healing, and restoration. You are a mere one hundred eighty degrees from God. Slowly make the transition back into His arms and receive the healing you so desperately desire.
