Our Mission Living Free’s purpose is to provide Christ-centered small group training and focused discipleship curriculum through local churches to help people turn to God and His resources when dealing with life’s problems.

Our Vision Believing that God uses Living Free to change lives, we envision a future where Living Free: • Dramatically impacts cultures for Christ through high impact relevant curriculum and training.

• Carves out significant inroads into the secular world.

• Partners with churches, ministries worldwide, and individuals to advance their efforts to help people with life-challenging problems.

• Makes decisions based on the potential for penetrating our culture for Christ.

• Intentionally develops current personnel, technology and facilities to a greater expertise, expanding our ministry to its full capacity.

• Grows into a vital organization that is more fully riveted on Christ as our center.

Although Turning Point is the official name of this Christ-centered ministry, it is now more commonly known as Living Free.

AWARENESS

Never before have we needed such a discipleship ministry that is so effective. What keeps on ministering to me is that there is a freshness and non-dated current application for all of the resources Turning Point has produced. That has to be the Lord leading you in the development and use of Christ-centered small group studies. Your commitment to stay focused and not to be drawn into every passing church fad has secured your ministry and kept it on track.

Dramatic Vignettes

This is a powerful tool that can enhance your small groups and ministry to people dealing with life’s issues.

• Introduce topics in your Living Free small groups so that participants will have increased awareness about life’s issues and the power of Christ.

• Illustrate lessons and sermons with personal stories and drama.

• Help people you counsel understand the dynamics of life-controlling problems.

The vignette clips vary in time from twenty seconds to six minutes. With DVD you can go to the exact vignette you want to view without having to guess where the next clip begins.

Growing Through Divorce offers practical guidance for anyone facing divorce. Based on the author’s firsthand experience of working with thousands of formerly married persons, this book can transform your life from an old ending to a new beginning!

Mastering Anger

A Guide for Family and Friends

This 41-page booklet shows that the stewardship of our mental health is vital in developing a well-balanced faith. One of the greatest concerns we have seen in this area is that Christians find it particularly difficult to accept the fact that anger exists in their lives. Many see anger as a feeling that is contradictory to their faith and “walk in the Spirit,” but the Bible presents some clear principles on how to manage anger.

Broken Children Grown-up Pain

Hurt people hurt people is more than a clever phrase. Hurt people hurt others because they themselves have been hurt. And each one of us has been hurt to one degree or another. As that damage causes us to become defensive and self-protective, we may lash out at others. Hurting becomes a vicious cycle. But God can help us break that cycle. He offers His healing and hope.

Discussing trust, anger, change, prejudice, blame, guilt, loyalty, and conscience, the author describes a life-style for Christians who care enough to risk confronting others when differences become important.

Especially for Christians who care deeply about relationships—adults, youth, pastors, and couples.

Book #509

Dr. Larry Crabb expands on his lifelong work in the field of psychotherapy to adopt a groundbreaking, but biblical, approach to healing the deep wounds of the soul–an approach that centers around building intimate, healing mini-communities in our lives and churches. Dr. Crabb envisions a day when communities of God’s people–ordinary Christians whose lives connect as husband to wife, brother to sister, friend to friend–will accomplish most of the healing that we now depend on mental health professionals to provide.

In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart is a deeply personal, honest exploration of how the truths of the Bible play out in the realities of our circumstances. It is also a revelation of how a loving, faithful God embraces us in our pain and transforms even our failures into sources of unforseen blessing. With simplicity and honesty, Ruth shares her journey and her faltering attempts to make wise choices in the wake of bad ones. She brings sharp new insight from the Word of God.

In How To Ask Great Questions, you’ll learn when and how to ask effective questions and how to promote follow-up discussions that will lead from good thinking to life application.
