From Rave to Revelation
Author: Bill Vincent
Publisher: RWG Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
In "From Rave to Revelation: A Journey of Faith Renewed," readers embark on an intimate journey through the raw and unfiltered reflections of a seasoned preacher who has undergone a profound spiritual transformation. This compelling first-hand account vividly narrates a tumultuous path through a maze of highs and lows, doubts and affirmations, stale rituals, and fresh encounters with the divine. Spanning over two decades of ministry, from the early 90s to a pivotal turning point in 2008, we walk through the preacher's self-professed "dead years" - a time characterized by disconnection and disillusionment where rituals felt empty and God seemed far away. Despite the external successes, the noisy crowds, and the arduous travels across the nation, a void lingered - a longing for something more real and tangible. The narrative takes a transformative turn as desperation gives birth to a fierce resolve to seek a deeper, more authentic connection with God. With heart-wrenching honesty, the preacher shares the relentless pursuit of the divine - a journey of pressing in and crying out for a fresh touch from heaven. It's a story of waiting, of persisting, and finally, of experiencing an unprecedented revelation that breathed life into dry bones and ignited a spirit of revival not just in the preacher, but in a whole community. Readers will be captivated by the vibrant depictions of a spiritual awakening that takes shape within the preacher's small but faithful congregation. It's a testimony to the power of unity, of prayer, and of the open heavens that can pour out when we dare to break free from religious complacency and denominational barriers to embrace a God who is ever pursuing us. As the preacher navigates the newfound freedom in Christ, glimpses of vibrant ministry moments come alive in the pages - a stirring tapestry of miraculous healings, prophetic utterances, and individuals being touched in profound ways. We witness a church that evolves from being inward-focused to one that reaches beyond its four walls, impacting the wider community and even drawing attention from the nation. Yet, at the heart of "From Rave to Revelation" is the preacher's authentic voice - a voice that pulsates with a vibrant rhythm of "hallelujahs" and a heartbeat synchronized with the divine, leading readers on a roller-coaster of emotional peaks and valleys as it seeks to articulate an indescribable encounter with God. A clarion call to all who yearn for spiritual authenticity, this book is not just a testimony but a beckoning, urging readers to step beyond the familiar, to dare to press in closer, to break free from the chains of ritual and religion, and to embark on a personal journey of faith renewed. It's an invitation to experience the transcendent joy that comes from a living, breathing relationship with God - a journey from rave to revelation.

Lost Ecstasy
Author: June McDaniel
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331992771X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
This book is a study of religious ecstasy, and the ways that it has been suppressed in both the academic study of religion, and in much of the modern practice of religion. It examines the meanings of the term, how ecstatic experience is understood in a range of religions, and why the importance of religious and mystical ecstasy has declined in the modern West. June McDaniel examines how the search for ecstatic experience has migrated into such areas as war, terrorism, transgression, sexuality, drug use, and anti-institutional forms of spirituality. She argues that the loss of religious and mystical ecstasy, as both a religious goal and as a topic of academic study, has had wide-ranging negative effects. She also proposes that the field of religious studies must go beyond criminalizing, trivializing and pathologizing ecstatic and mystical experiences. Both religious studies and theology need to take these states seriously as important aspects of lived human experience.
