Confessions of an Adulterous Christian Woman offers a rare and
honest look at the destructive descent into adultery and reveals
the redeeming power of God's grace and His ability to restore a
ruined life. Author Lyndell Hetrick Holtz was a pastor's wife,
Bible study leader, and retreat speaker who never believed she
would commit adultery. She thought her involvement with ministry
gave her extra protection from the temptation to have an affair.
But, in her forties, her life began to crumble, and suddenly
adultery seemed to be the solution for an unhappy life and
marriage. With emotion and conviction, Lyndell reflects on the
disillusionment and faulty beliefs that led to destructive
decisions. She tells of the heartache and pain she experienced when
her affair was discovered and the resulting consequences, including
the loss of her 25 year marriage, her beautiful home, her witness
in the community, her friends, and the respect of her four adult
children. It seemed as if her life was over and her relationship
with Christ forever ruined. But it was here, broken and sprawled in
the dust of shame and defeat, where Lyndell encountered love unlike
any she had ever known. With worship and humility, she shares how
God lovingly embraced her shattered life and began to redeem,
restore, and rebuild it in miraculous ways. Confessions of an
Adulterous Christian Woman gives women a first-hand look at the
destruction of adultery and provides the awareness needed to avoid
assuming that Christian women are immune to adultery's snare. This
powerful story examines the devastating effects of adultery, but
more importantly, reveals a God who continues to write His story of
redemption, restoration, and reconciliation on the broken lives of
humanity, taking us, from utter despair to undying devotion to Him
and the unconditional, healing love He gives.
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."
The role of altars in the realm of existence is very key because
altars are meeting places between the physical and the spiritual,
between the visible and the invisible. In one word, an altar is a
gateway in the realm of the invisible. By implication, therefore,
no matter the plan and the purpose of God for your life, family,
children, relationships, businesses, communities, and other
personal endeavours, you must have the spiritual understanding
that, until satanic and demonic altars in your foundation are
overthrown, you are most likely to fall short of God's plan for
your life. No wonder God commanded Moses, "You must destroy their
altars..." (Exodus 34:13-14). In this book, Pastor Uzor Ndekwu
draws from his many years of experience as a deliverance minister
to explain why you must overthrow foundational altars, and why you
must confront demonic or satanic altars erected to hinder or
frustrate God's plans for you and your family.
