A Quaker mystic and social activist, Rufus Jones won a Nobel Prize
as co-founder of the American Friends Service Committee. Widely
considered one of the most significant religious voices in America
at the time of his death in 1948, his writings impart an Emersonian
vision of the ever-present reality of God in our souls and in our
world. Indeed, his quintessentially American "affirmative
mysticism" infuses all contemporary spirituality and offers an
uplifting, positive, and powerful message today.
As Christians, we know that we should become more like Jesus - so
we try to act differently. But changing our outward behaviour
doesn't change our hearts. Only God's grace can do that. Renovation
of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for spiritual
transformation, exploring the disciplines and practices that are
crucial if we are to be changed from the inside out. Immensely
profound but also practical and encouraging, Dallas Willard's
insightful wisdom challenges us to rethink what it really means to
become more Christlike and how we do so. This special 20th
anniversary edition - featuring a new introduction by John Mark
Comer, revised discussion questions and a never before published
interview with Dallas Willard - shows that this dynamic and
practical approach to spiritual growth is just as needed today as
it was 20 years ago. It will both challenge and inspire you on the
path of becoming more like Jesus and equip you to engage actively
and intentionally in your spiritual formation. Renovation of the
Heart has helped countless Christians begin the process of
spiritual transformation. It is ideal both for anyone new to the
Christian faith looking for guidance in discipleship, and those who
are already Christians and want a new approach to help their
spiritual growth and reaffirm their faith. Don't settle for
complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers
and discover what Dallas Willard describes as a divine process that
"brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into
harmony with the will of God." Become an intentional apprentice of
Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
The general understanding of dA (c)jA vu is this: DA (c)jA vu, from
French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the
strong sensation that an event or experience currently being
experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has
actually happened or not. So how would you feel if five years of
your life flashes in front of your eyes in a space of five minutes
or your dreams come to life in the same week? Samuel, I have been
in situations where dA (c)jA vu was so clear, I was not sure
whether I was dreaming or living.
Elisabeth Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief,
and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life.
Through it all, she says, there is only one reliable path, and if
you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses,
heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful. In
this powerful book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard
questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore
boldly the nature of God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate
and perfect that he confounds our finite understanding. A Path
through Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith,
comfort, and assurance. Includes a new foreword by Joni Eareckson
Tada.
We can't let man determine our happiness and our worth, we have to
trust in only God. Man says we are nothing, but God says we are big
people. In this encouraging book, Tarupiwa brings you a message of
hope and comfort. When faced with abuse, rejection and demotion,
this book will give you lessons on how you can survive and thrive
in such situations. YES, man can turn you down, but not with God,
he will bring you up, and make you enter your destiny. This
powerful book contains the secrets of your promotion by God, after
man has demoted you. With Biblical characters, Tarupiwa helps
readers to see beyond the hate, abuse, rejection or demotion and
focus on God's love. We see David, Daniel, Job, Mordecai, Joseph,
Shadrach, Mishack and Abednego, then Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We
see how they were demoted by man then later promoted by God, and we
learn a lot from their experiences. Be blessed as you read this
book!!!
This book reveals what heaven expects from the church. It reveals
what Jesus meant by I will build my church. It is not a critique
but a standard of spiritual measurement and divine alignment as to
the definition of a true church. The true church (The Ekklesia) is
not a denominational gathering of any kind, whether orthodox,
charismatic or pentecostal. The true church is one, which has
placed primacy on building the dispensational temple (the man) only
according to God s pattern. This book will be a great eye opener
for you. You will no longer strive in the flesh any more after
going through this book. The issue of competition, comparison,
sense of inferiority and superiority complex, which are some of the
distraction and strategies of the enemy, will be exposed. Your work
and ministry with God will never remain the same. You can't read
this book and still retain your old mentality and operating system.
Whatever you are building for the Lord from now on shall be to the
Lord's glory and according to his specifications. Personal agenda
will be given up. Deeper truths and insights are made available
inside this book.."
The Dead-Living Church'' re-defines the concept of church (the true
Ekklesia), her global positioning and her responsibilities
according to the original intent of God. Jesus' declaration in
Matthew 16, I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not
prevail against it far outweighs the theological assumptions and
religious beliefs about what church is supposed to be. This book is
not a product of professionalism; it is a prophetic release by the
Spirit of the living God. The Church is not a denominational
gathering of religious people, but the Ekklesia, the people called
for an assignment, the assembly of legislating on behalf of God on
earth. This book will take you through a journey. Its intent
assuredly will awaken your spirit man to experience a paradigm
shift from Churchianity to that which is God s original intention."

Sister Katey's letters reveal, vividly, life in a little-known part
of Brazil. The reader is struck by the caring attitude and generous
spirit of those who have very little to spare and share. It is a
compassionate but unsentimental account in which practical and
spiritual help go hand in hand with the help of trained lay leaders
- perhaps a pattern for the Church in other parts of our world.
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.
