Book Description
Many preachers have taught on stewardship in reference to our money and our time, but both money and time are temporary commodities of this earthly life. Jesus used the parables about stewardship in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke to teach about the Kingdom of God. Parables are used to liken something people could understand to something that they may not have understood in any other teaching. Likewise, when Jesus taught about the sower and the seed, He did not intend for believers to become better farmers or gardeners. Since believers do not use the parable of the sower and the seed to learn about gardening, why is it that they use the parables of the talents and the pounds to teach that stewardship is referring to actual money or time? As Paul was writing to the Church of Corinth, he told them, "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1). There is something of much more value than both money and time that God has placed into the hands of the church to take care of until He returns! This book was written so the believer can discover what God expects in us as His STEWARDS of the Mysteries of God!

Book Description
New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Book Description
i This is a story about Jean Fletcher, a spiritual icon to those who have come to know her personally. From the moment she makes contact something touches you deep inside. Immersed in Life, Jean shines forth lightenment through nature and experience. She is portrayed through the eyes of a deeply religious and judgmental - yet, impressionable young man – Tim. As the story unfolds, both lives intertwine, leaving each changed and Tim’s life turned outside in, by connecting “observable events” to their hidden internal reality. The omniscient – God, by His transforming power awakens young Tim to the “newness” of his knowing. Beginning on page one, Jean accepts confirmation of her ministerial commission. Tim enters the scene taking the reader into his cold, ritualistic world, crowned by Christian tradition. His church going friend (Darlene) brings Tim to Jean’s home where the two first meet. Tim immediately connects to their eternal union – “It was almost as though we were being reunited in a relationship that went as far as the beginning of time.” The youthful Tim impressed and intrigued by Jean’s zeal and spiritual posture presses for the tale of her life. Speaking in a soft-spoken voice of authority, Tim listens for hours to one “as though she had been personally trained by the Master Himself.” With a pierced mind, he hears “Truth Is – the learning to identify with that, which is Within You, rather than that which is without.” ii In one day, one meeting, in one seemingly motionless eternal moment, destiny places Tim on the threshold of Life in Spirit, contrasted by the road of his traditional beliefs. Days and weeks pass; unsure of the journey he knows he must take; Tim searches the scriptures, listening to that still, soft, subtle voice, asking God for guidance and understanding. He begins to challenge the doctrines of men. It’s spring of the same year, and “change is eminent.” Fearless and partially free, Tim arrives at Jean’s to find her toiling in her garden. “Spring is a time for weed pulling, but the uprooted plants were not weeds. There is life in these bulbs – unless the bulb is planted in the earth, in the darkness, and covered over – it could not fulfill its purpose in Being...the entire process of nature...all part of a more perfect order.” Relocating to the house, Jean shares more after surviving a cup of Tim’s soapy coffee. She tells him of how “God is Divine Order,” and “every man” has a walk out of darkness back to God. NONE are excluded! By chapter three, Tim is “letting go” of his traditions - the mind’s illusions, inhaling the reality of life in Spirit. He experiences the realm of “knowing” to a place Jean calls “beyond the beyond.” The natural mind will never comprehend the real “Truths of Spirit,” – mysteries – secrets hidden deep within God – delivered by grace to His chosen stewards. The “seasons of grace” change their color as Tim leaves his spiritual mother, and the close relationship he has, so embraced. “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground iii and die, it abides alone. The understanding of divided self needed to be fully realized.” Only after years of much needed pruning would the purpose of their separation come to light. Tim plunges head first into blissful, wedded joy. Unfortunately, within a few short years his marriage crumbles, and the fall leaves him feeling lost and bewildered – “searching for answers I thought I once owned.” Jean’s expression, “being ground to powder,” rattles around in Tim’s distant memory. Riddled with quilt and full of shame, Tim, radically, relocates to the home where he grew up. In Pittsburgh, he takes the time “for solemn self-examination,” to try somehow to begin again. Jean and Tim reunite. Transitioning from the night back into the ever-forgiving light, Tim experiences Jean’s compa

Book Description
In this kingdom, we rise not just by desire but how much light we have accessed and engaged. You can access it, meaning that you are not ignorant of its operation but if you don't engage it, you will not see anything. Accessing it is a product of humility and desperate pursuit but engaging it is the product of faith. I have said it that faith is simply a product of understanding, obedience and courage. You cannot sustainably act upon what you do not understand. Obedience is the ability to obey to the letter and the courage to stay there regardless of the temporary results that you see. So desire alone will not get you any where in this kingdom. Our society is full of desires. That is wonderful except for the fact that desire alone will not amount to anything. People desire to carry the anointing, prosperity, influence, etc. But they just stop at the level of desire and believe that that is all that they need to do. No.Desire sponsor the appetite for pursuit. With desire, you will defy every excuse and consequences and just pursue. Your desire gives you the inner strength and tenacity to pursue. If and when you have the encounter, you have access to it now, the next thing is to put your understanding to work, engage that truth you know. The engaging part is where I do believe that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ has failed.
