Book Description
As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

The Reincarnation of Love
Author: Rev. Dr. Evangeline Holloway
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1465318615
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
The Reincarnation of Love was inspired by real life experiences and my ideology about love and passion for someone you love. The various love poems are meant for the institution of marriage. They reveal that Christians can be sexy and expressive also. The Reincarnation of Love has three prongs: the inspiration, the pain, and the love. It addresses the concepts of love infusion, love transfusion, a captive heart, and having a love infection. These concepts are brilliantly brought out in the various poems as well as the twisted plays of love versus new love. Then there are times when the new love appears to be infected and then resurrects itself again as the guiding light. Just when you think you have it all figured out, love reincarnates itself again in the exotic, sensual, yet tasteful metaphoric forms brought out in "Queen Crab Meat," "Coffee Shop," "Computer Story," and the "Attribute to Perfume." The book also addresses the controversy of "Women in the Pulpit" and provides words of encouragement and enlightenment to help empower individuals to move forward in life. Sit back and experience an emotional, spiritual, and challenging journey through the various phases of pain, love, romance, and spirituality like never before. Once you start reading this book, you cannot put it down.

Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart
Author: J.D. Greear
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1433679183
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Creation's Symphony

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
God's creation is a symphony, a tapestry of beautiful artwork. God's face can be seen through the morning sunrise as it dances across the land. His beauty is seen in the roses in springtime. His majesty is felt in the sound of coming storm clouds. God's promise of love to us can be seen in the light of the moon on the ocean and in the tide that washes against our ankles. The writer reminds us that we must take time to see the beauty around us, to rest in God's grace and to let God's love fill us until it overflows. God's promise of love is for a lifetime. His love is there whether we are living on the mountaintop or in the valley deep. It is the writer's prayer that the reader will truly see God in these pages. Tim Stewart was born in Florida, grew up in Colorado and relocated to South Carolina for college. He resides with his mom and stepfather, "Pops" in Gilbert, South Carolina. Life began to change unexplainably for Tim during his college years. Although unknown to him at the time, Tim later learned that he had a mental illness and in 2002 was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has learned over the last few years that schizophrenia is part of who he is. But, more importantly, he knows that God is still in control despite the struggles associated with this disease. With his strong faith in God and the strong support of his family and friends he does his best to live each day to the fullest. God has given him a wonderful talent and his greatest desire is to use his writings to glorify his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
