You can experience a new level of trusting God and learn to see His hand at work in any situation.
When we were kids we learned to stop, look and listen before stepping into the street. That’s good advice for us today when we encounter circumstances where it seems God has abandoned us or doesn’t care.
To see God at work in any situation:
STOP
The psalmist said, “Cease striving and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10 NASB). Before you head off in a direction that may not lead you where you think you want to go . . . take some time to be quiet and collect your thoughts.
LOOK
Or in this case, LOOK UP! “I look up to the mountains — does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord” (Psalm 121:1-2 NLT). When we look up, we see the face of a heavenly Father who loves us and wants the very best for us . . . no matter what we may be going through.
LISTEN
Listen for what God has to say to you. Just say, “Speak, Lord. I am your servant and I am listening” (1 Samuel 3:10 NCV). God speaks to us — through the Bible, through Godly counsel and through our inner spirit by His Holy Spirit.
I truly believe that applying these simple principles to your life will enable you to see God’s hand at work in any situation.
Your gifts support God’s work through this ministry . . . and help send a message to millions that God is present in their lives — no matter what the circumstance.
Stop, look and listen for God’s plan. Give your best gift today so we may tell the world about His path, His peace and His perfect love.
“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13 (NLT)

This book takes all the piece parts from all the diciplines-psychological, physical, and spiritual-and puts it together in a well organized program. Brooke doesn't just focus on diet, exercise, or emotional eating issues, but rather creates a integrated system, which can be applied to many life challenges. If you have finally come to realize that conquering a weight problem is not a simple or easy task, then this book will give you a concrete method to get your weight under control.
In The Thin Commandments Diet, Dr. Stephen Gullo lets you in on his unique weight-loss program that has a success rate that is many times higher than the national average and has helped patients lose more than 100 pounds -- and maintain that weight loss for more than 5 years.

Based on the Law of Attraction, the overall premise of The Secret is simple: You can get what you truly feel about. It’s not just thinking about something; you need to envision the results exactly as you would like them to be—and then watch them happen. In this full-color companion to The Secret DVD, Rhonda Byrne discusses its role in the work of some of our most successful teachers including Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. All of them share stories of success ranging from eradicating disease and overcoming obstacles to acquiring wealth and achieving what most would consider the impossible.
