Sustaining Life's Victories: 40 Strategies for Overcoming Temptation

How can we overcome temptation and not go back to old ways?

Defenses. That's what we need when temptation threatens to overwhelm us. We know that if we give in, something will be lost, someone will be harmed, or our usefulness will in some way be diminished.

But the strength of temptation can be formidable at times. We do what we know to do, and still it's not enough. We need, we crave, a stronger defense system to help us. Sustaining Life's Victories is a collection of proven strategies, helpful reminders, and welcome resources to help you overcome temptation, no matter how cunning, camouflaged, or powerful it is. The messages in this book remind us of the formidable defenses that God has given us—defenses that never lose their effectiveness or have to be replaced.
 
Using the Scriptures, stories, and strategies in this book, build for yourself a series of fortifications that will defeat temptation and sustain your victories. This compilation, written by thirty-one authors, can be used for personal study or group discussion. A short leader guide is provided.

Feed Your Soul with the Word of God,
Collection 2

Is your soul hungry for God’s Word?

When our hearts need a pep talk, we can go to God’s word and find just what we need. When our circumstances seem to be more than we can bear, time with God in His word keeps us going. When the world is bright and merry and we bless God for the wonderful life that He has given us, the Bible keeps us grounded, focused, and making the difference in the world that God has in mind for us.

In whatever stage or phase of life that we are, the Bible helps. It offers us hope and comfort when life grows heavy. It gives us direction when we have lost our way. It supplies strategies and wisdom for navigating trials and troubles, and it shows us how to optimize opportunities for eternal good. In the world we may grow weary; in God’s word our souls are refreshed and strengthened.

In Feed Your Soul with the Word of God, Collection 2, twenty-one authors serve up a banquet for the soul in thirty short Bible studies, including:
