There's a SHIFT coming to the Body of Christ, to America, the world . . . and to your life. The Church in many corridors has become prevalent, but not powerful. We are recognized behind our four walls, but not much outside of them. As the culture drifts from biblical values, it is time to shift to eternal perspectives. It's time for a shift . . . it's time for REVIVAL. In Shift, Ron McIntosh has captured the principles, presence, power, and perspective that make up revival. This is a book that will prepare you for the current and coming move of the Spirit. This book answers the questions about revival that makes it well worth reading. But if offers so much more... it answers the question we should be asking. What is beyond revival? Mario Murillo Author, Vessels of Fire and Glory Shift will cause readers to prayerfully consider everything we have embraced packaged as "modern Christianity" and measure it next to the surefire standard of Scripture and the template of Pentecost. Larry Sparks Author, Pentecostal Fire Publisher, Destiny Image Shift explains, in the simplest terms, one of the most important mysteries for the person who truly desires to see and know God as He is.
