Today Is A Verb
$16.99
None of us knows how long we have on this earth. Sometimes, the days seem to pass by with little importance; at other times, we might feel overwhelmed by our experiences, whether they bring us happiness or sorrow. In the end, however, we allow our days and years to march on.
But what if we intentionally view each today as a gift from God? What if we considered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?
In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks us to grab hold of God’s endless gift of time–past, present, and future–and make the most of every moment and every minute. For this gift from God is truly as boundless as the ocean. The act of living can bring us joy if we seek to listen to God, read His Word, and pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Today Is a Verb can propel us to our destiny, to God’s desire for us. As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful, and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome–the possibilities are endless.
Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Each chapter includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical application, and a daily declaration.
“This dimension of godly living…is not for the faint of heart but for all of those who have determined their lives will smack of the atmosphere of heaven,” Carol says.
“If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage in the desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life,” she says. “Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrant step toward the life for which you have been aching.”

Anxious For Nothing
$19.99Add to cartAnxiety is at an all time high, but there’s a prescription for dealing with it. Max Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7 where the Apostle Paul admonishes the followers of Christ, “Do not be anxious about anything . . .”
Philippians 4:6 encourages the believer to “be anxious for nothing.” As Lucado states, the apostle Paul seems to leave little leeway here. “Be anxious for nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero.”
What’s he suggesting? That we should literally be anxious for absolutely nothing? Lucado says, “The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. It’s the life of perpetual anxiety that Paul wants to address. Don’t let anything in life leave you perpetually in angst.”
Americans especially know about living in perpetual anxiety. According to one research program, anxiety-related issues are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity. And use of sedative drugs like Xanax and Valium have skyrocketed in the last 15 years. Even students are feeling it. One psychologist reports that the average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s.
“The news about our anxiety is enough to make us anxious,” says Lucado. But there’s a prescription for dealing with it. Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7, the most highlighted passage of any book on the planet, according to Amazon:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
“With His help you will learn to face the calamities of life. You’ll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will learn to view bad news through the lens of sovereignty; to discern the lies of Satan and tell yourself the truth. You will manifest a gentleness that is evident to others. Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn’t have to dominate your life.”
