That looks like this: 1 in 1,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled each of these prophecies. The question is what will we do with that information? A common term the disciples used of themselves is "slave to Christ", meaning completely sold out and surrendered to him.

There are two words for healing in the Bible, and understanding this can radically change how we view faith and prayer; plus what Tony Robbins prays, how to know what you really need to change in your life beginning today, an awesome story of overcoming fear and rejection and how you can do the same thing, the forcefulness of John the Baptist, Larry King's most wanted interview, any why the religious leaders criticized Jesus' ministry.

Why cancer patients get sick from chemotherapy before they even begin the treatments; how small adjustments in our thinking and actions produce massive results; how a rocket metaphor explains momentum towards our goals; getting off the sidelines and into the game; overcoming rejection and fear; the tool the devil won't give up; the testimony of Gracie and Martin Burnam who were help hostage in the Middle East for many months; a moving story of a couple who were unable to have children; and turning around a marriage in one minute.

What a simple change can produce as seen in the greatest titles in history and in one of the worlds' most popular toys; the 10 second blessing you can begin using immediately; the draw of some of the most insane fast food; what the highest paid writer thinks about faith and why he mocks it at every chance he gets; the shocking state of sexually transmitted diseases in America; how a new fossil find could rewrite history (and why it won't); plus Lincoln, Moody, and Ziglar on life; and the advice of a man who lost his limbs and now speaks to people all around the world about happiness.

A personal story where the stars were aligned, or so it seemed; when life gets messy: the prayer Jabez prayed and how to follow his example; when the fortune is beneath your feet and you don't know it; being blessed to be a blessing; spoiled kids; Steve Jobs, Jack Lalanne, and why people create conflict in the first place.

Some 2/3rd of traditional psychological patients fail to improve. What you identity with controls you, and labels can often entrap people. What does the Bible mean when it says be angry but sin not? Plus, what couples really complain about, the top pet peeves of Americans, why we have so many lawyers, how a goat can save your marriage, and the most fundamental tool you need to make authentic change.

The Chilean miners, Chick-fil-A's decision to close on Sundays, Tom Brady's missing jersey, Dolly Madison on power, the Fred Factor, the worst cheating scandal in college, why kids stop going to church, and why you are stronger than you think. As Russell Brunson shares, "•As much as we hate to admit it, we are all slaves to what we believe other people will think of us." Ready to find freedom?

Why would the Queen of Sheba travel 1400 miles to listen to Solomon, and what does that teach us about our spiritual birthright? As Billy Burke shares, "You get what you fight and contend for, not what you want." Such is the story of men from the 1800s who put it all on the line for Jesus across the American frontier, most dying by 30, never marrying because their life was dedicated to a cause bigger than their own lives. Hear what they wrote about that commitment, plus the one answer to all questions, what two seminary student learn about changing the external without changing the heart, Thomas Aquinas on his last book, the time Jacques Cousteau almost died, and why the story of a man and his dog crossing the Appalachian Trail inspired a nation.
