Think Ahead Workbook: 7 Decisions You Can Make Today for the God-Honoring Life You Want Tomorrow
We all want to make great decisions, but frequently, we don’t. When the moment of truth arrives, we make choices that we later regret. It causes us to wonder if we actually can begin to make better decisions for our lives.
From both personal experience and as a minister and counselor to others, Craig Groeschel knows what it is like to be trapped in a cycle of bad decision-making. But over time, he has discovered how to short-circuit the bad-decision cycle, make wise decisions, and begin to become the person God wants us to be.
In the Think Ahead Workbook, which accompanies the book of the same name, Craig draws on the truth of Scripture and the latest research in human behavior to reveal the power of making decisions in advance—what we might call “pre-deciding”—to position ourselves to make the choices we really want to make and avoid those choices that we do not want to make.

Winning the War in Your Mind Workbook: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true.

Each lesson corresponds to the chapters in the book and includes biblical exploration, reflection and application questions, and practical action steps based on that chapter’s principle to help you root out destructive thought patterns and eliminate them from your life.

Yet, so far, nothing has worked, and you wonder if you’re even capable of change.
If this sounds like your story, then it’s time to change the way you think about change. The Power to Change workbook blends biblical wisdom with up-to-date psychology to help you learn how to master the habits that lead to true change.

- Employ the reap-sow principle to change the trajectory of your future.

Lead Like It Matters Workbook: 7 Leadership Principles for a Church that Lasts
It has been rightly said that “Jesus is the hope of the world.” While we can never argue against the importance of the power of the risen Son of God, it is also true that “the local church is the hope of the world.” After all, the church is the body of Christ. Jesus manifested himself through the church. And we, as the church, are chosen and called by God to be light in the darkness and give hope to the hopeless.
For this reason, it is critical for the body of Christ—both pastors and laypeople alike—to learn how to lead like it matters. In this workbook, Craig Groeschel shares what he has learned in more than twenty-six years of leading LifeChurch. The church began in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment, but people were drawn there because they sensed a powerful, life-changing force that Craig calls “it.” While exactly what “it” is can be difficult to define, Craig reveals seven factors that contribute to it (or at least don’t kill it).
