We think our biggest spiritual enemy is Satan, but it’s really our flesh.
This book will help you to see Christ as the one who is able to take on all spiritual battles so that you know you are not alone in this journey of life.
In her first two books, The Heavens Opened and The Priestly Bride, Anna Rountree chronicled her remarkable visions of heaven, giving readers a glimpse of what heaven is like and how events happening in the earth today correspond with activities in the spirit realm. In this third book in her trilogy, Rountree offers a revelation of mankind's chief enemy, the flesh, and how our heavenly Father trains us to be warriors for the fierce battles to come.
Caught up once again in a vision of heaven, Rountree sees the redeemed and the heavenly hosts armed for war. She is told that all God’s children are issued armor but not everyone heeds the command to put on the full armor of God. As with all equipment, this armor must be tested before being worn into conflict.
Thus begins the tests to fit Rountree for battle. These tests take place underground in the root system of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the flesh. The seriousness of the tests—tests all Christians must take—are both shocking and revelatory. This book takes readers on a journey through the dark bowels of the flesh and reveals how they can come out armed as overcomers who serves the Warrior King.
Biblical Christianity In African Perspective is a survey of the major truths of the Christian faith as seen from the perspective of the African world view.
The book addresses the major tenets of the Christian faith together with some of the most important moral and spiritual issues of African life. Unlike most theology books, this book has been purposely written in readable everyday language, including many true African stories. The book was written by a person with 50 years of study in the Word of God, who has spent over 40 of those years relating the Bible to African life and issues.
It is the result of five years of graduate research and evaluation in consultation with more than 300 African theological students and faculty in various schools.
Good spiritual directors can be difficult to come by; this book
offers Pope Francis to be yours. Ever wonder what advice the Pope
would give you to help you grow in holiness, deepen your prayer
life, know God's will? In Practical Holiness you'll find the keys
to discovering the answers to those questions. With anecdotes about
people and stories about saints, this exploration of Pope Francis's
apostolic exhortation, Rejoice and Be Glad: On the Call to Holiness
in Today's World, reminds you that there is no cookie-cutter
approach to holiness and encourages you to rediscover your unique
way of living out the Beatitudes and Jesus's two-fold command of
love. You'll navigate through the "five great expressions of love
of God and neighbor" - essential for any Christian in our
self-absorbed, digital culture. Reflection questions at the end of
each chapter, as well as forty personal questions at the end of the
book, make this ideal for reflection, adult faith formation, book
clubs, spiritual directors and their directees, and further
catechesis during the RCIA's Mystogogia period between Easter and
Pentecost.
In his new book, the author likens True Self to a diamond, buried
deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives and
needing to be searched for, uncovered, and separated from all the
debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like
Jesus, be resurrected, and that process involves not resuscitation
but transformation.
In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it
attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Yet it may
be one of the most important lost virtues of our time. In Joyful
Surrender, former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot
offers her understanding of discipline and its value for people of
all times. She shows readers how to - discipline the mind, body,
possessions, time, and feelings - overcome anxiety - change poor
habits and attitudes - trust God in times of trial and hardship -
let Christ have control in all areas of life Elliot masterfully and
gently takes readers through Scripture, personal stories, and
incisive observations of the world around her to help them discover
the understanding that our fulfillment as human beings depends on
our answer to God's call to obedience.
