The disciples werent the only ones who needed help understanding the parables Jesus told. Believers today often need some clarification. Using this sixweek interactive Bible study from trusted author and speaker Jennifer Kennedy Dean, you can explore the secrets of the kingdom of God as revealed in the parables Jesus shared. The study, with five daily lessons for each of six weeks, will help you understand what the kingdom of God is and how to release its power in your life.

The Holy Spirit is always at work in the life of a believer. He chooses to work, however, in each individual life almost like a tailor-made suit--one that is custom-fit for the individual. His perfect fit is designed to draw attention to our best features and diminish our weaknesses. Clothed with Power helps you explore how the Holy Spirit is at work in every area of your life. Designed as a six-week interactive study, national best-selling author and prayer expert Jennifer Kennedy Dean uses the symbolism of the Old Testament priests' garments to show you anew how your salvation has always been a part of God's redemptive plan. And, how it is through that salvation that the Holy Spirit is the living Jesus in you now--making you fit for heaven's work here on earth. An accompanying DVD to this study is also available.

We are created to live in an altar'd state--surrendered, yielded, free. The noun altar is usually understood to be a place of worshipful offering. Something of value is offered up and released on the altar. When we turn the noun altar into a verb--altar our fear, our failure, our possessiveness, our need to control--all those things that hold us captive and keep us from running the race at full throttle are released. Through careful exposition and biblical teaching, celebrated author and prayer expert Jennifer Kennedy Dean guides readers on a 40-day exploration of the Scriptures and what it means to truly live a life dead to flesh and alive to the spirit.

This revised, 13-week study--in a workbook format--goes back to the biblical basics of prayer, cleaning out myths about prayer to rev up a powerful, ongoing connection to God that can invigorate every aspect of a Christian's life. The author tackles the complex theological questions: If God is sovereign, why pray? If prayer is not a way to change God's mind, what is it? Prayer is a way, Jennifer illustrates, for God to send His power and provision into the world through His people. The study takes a detailed look at prayer's purpose, process, promise, and practice.
