A delightful call to a vibrant spirituality that celebrates the
everyday elements of our physical lives, reminding us that our
faith began and must continue as a way of life.
The faith of Jesus was once considered a distinctive way of
life, rather than a complex theological system. Seeking to recover
such a model, Pilgrim Heart re-imagines discipleship as a way of
life guided by a set of simple daily practices known to the
earliest disciples and the saints through the ages. Proven to
transform lives for two thousand years, these practices include
friendship, Sabbath rest, hospitality, confession, forgiveness, and
storytellingall part of an in-the-world spirituality, one that
embraces the God-given embodied human experience.
This is more than a book it is a blueprint of what God is saying
during this hour. Bill Vincent is an anointed Prophetic writer that
releases powerful fresh revelation in this book. In THE PROTOTYPE
CHURCH you will be able to see into God s heart of a new type of
Church coming forth. The body of believers not caught up in this
new move is against it, criticizing it as dangerous phenomena and
preaching dire warnings about control, manipulation, and mental ill
health. Any one whom is a critic is criticizing the Holy Spirit in
this move. It is easy to speak against something you don t fully
understand. Listen you need to be open to what God wants to do. You
have never seen such a level of power, grace, and holiness of God
all at one time. The church is outgrowing itself month by month.
Are you ready for miracles as commonplace; the amazing and
incredible presence of God to be everywhere. The team that you are
part of, which is caught up in the epicenter of all this activity,
is the most profound experience that you have ever encountered. Of
course, there are problems problems that often are huge and
time-consuming. However, as you pray for wisdom, the anointing to
move forward is so great that godly insight seems to spring into
your conscious mind with ease. During the moving forward to
becoming a prototype Church you will find oppositions. Every day
brings a pressure cocktail of more people, more needs, greater
opposition, further demonic attacks, fresh misunderstandings,
calculated misinterpretations, added responsibilities,
supplementary clerical problems to overcome, and extra requirements
for advice, leadership, and ministry. Everything is strained to the
limit of personal and physical ability. One thing that will surely
cause a quicker finished Church is Revival. Revival seems to be
concerned with endurance and stamina as much as it is preoccupied
with anointing and empowerment. You are in the midst of constant
attack and blessing; of tiredness, pressure, and opposition; of
trying to keep everything going smoothly so that more people can be
touched and reached; of not losing people to poor organization and
mismanagement. You do not want this move to blow through society,
touching thousands of lives, but not see church built at the end of
it. Indeed, it shows no signs of tapering off! Are you getting
excited about a new move of God? The need to develop leaders and
train people to look after others, the need for more prayer, and
the demand for more workers is huge. You are caught up in the whole
wonderful and demanding, exhausting mix of a move of God. The
implications and repercussions are going to hit everyone, hard. You
don t need this pressure right now. We know you will enjoy this
powerful book THE PROTOTYPE CHURCH."
Holy Fear is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But if you
want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you
cannot afford to ignore this book.
In The Awe of God: The Astounding Way A Healthy Fear Of God Transforms
Your Life, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it
means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy,
holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more
fulfilled and fruitful life.
In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:
• Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
• Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
• Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
• Building an eternal legacy
• Confidence, fearlessness, and security
• Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed
If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and
finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.
The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally. At the
end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your
understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you.
Experience the intimate relationship with God that you have always
longed for by unlocking this countercultural message.
Have you forgotten how wondrous life can be? Christopher de Vinck
offers a timeless collection of wisdom on family, childhood, God,
love, compassion, buttered toast, snowmen, Hamlet, Bugs Bunny,
bees. For anyone who is caught up in the hustle and bustle of life,
weary and perhaps a little jaded by all that seems wrong in the
world, this is a book that helps us to see again. In essays that
are warm, evocative, and often amusing, Christopher De Vinck gives
us back the eyes of a child, the fresh vision of delight, and a
renewed reminder that we are surrounded with awe that we often take
for granted. This is a book about living with a perpetual array of
treasures: the voices of people we love, the taste of marzipan, the
sounds of October geese. This is a book that reminds us to look,
smell, see, touch, and listen to what is revealed to us each
morning. Chris invites us to realize life as we live it, every
minute. Reflecting on the joys of family, writing, and education,
Chris doesn't shy away from loneliness, disappointments and
regrets. His is a voice that combines both the joys and sorrows of
living, speaking with hope and acceptance, and celebrating the
power of simplicity in our modern age. "In his classic book The
Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery famously suggested that 'it
is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential
is invisible to the eye.' With the elegance of a poet, the wonder
of child-like eyes, and the discipline of one who steadfastly pays
attention to the world around and within him, Christopher de
Vinck's Things That Matter Most helps us see with our hearts-to see
rightly-those things that are essential to a life well-lived: A
place to truly call home, friends who sustain and nurture one
another, and the love of a God who knows us as children of great
worth." -Jeff Crosby, author of Language of the Soul: Meeting God
in the Longings of Our Hearts
Acts 2:16, 17 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel, And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith the Lord, I
will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and
your old men shall dream dreams: This book contains some of the
dreams and visions and the understanding of them that the Holy
Spirit has given me over the years. As you read PARABLES OF LIGHT
my prayer is that it blesses and stirs you up to seek out what the
Holy Spirit is saying to you in your dreams and vision in these
last days. May God bless you on the quest. Proverbs 25:2 It is the
glory of God to conceal a thing; but the honor of kings is to
search out a matter.
