Book Description
Both our Lord and the devil know there isn't anyone on earth more powerful than a travailing intercessor who truly knows how to pray effectively. God stands ready to open heaven to those believers who learn the art of intercession. Angels await divine instructions that will cause the darkness over our families, our nations and the world to be pierced by marvellous breakthrough.On the other hand, the enemy is absolutely terrified at the thought this could happen. He knows it would release God's best for us and for our families. Marriages would be healed and financials fortunes reversed. Nations would be changed and set free. It is for this reason that he has done everything he can to discredit the intercessory prayer ministry and cause so much misunderstanding to surround it.Apostle Natasha has done an remarkable job in teaching us how to explore these exciting new dimensions of prayer and intimacy with God. She does so in a way that is wonderfully helpful to us by breaking down this mysterious aspect of prayer into practical steps any believer can follow and come to love. Reading this book will leave you feeling as though you have opened a door and taken a step into another world, marvellous and life-changing, that previously was only understood and accessible to a select and chosen few. I should point out this book isn't about theory or hypotheticals. Natasha leads an incredible group of intercessors who have for years been journeying through these extraordinary realms of life changing territory. I have prayed with them on many occasions and been blessed by them. You not only need this book, it needs to sit beside your Bible and be picked up and referred to often. It will help change who you have been in prayer into the incredible and powerful world changer you were created to be by God.Dr. R. Heard, PhD.Christian TabernacleHouston, Texas
Struggle for the Soul of the Postwar South

Book Description
In 1946, the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) undertook Operation Dixie, an initiative to recruit industrial workers in the American South. Elizabeth and Ken Fones-Wolf plumb rarely used archival sources and rich oral histories to explore the CIO's fraught encounter with the evangelical Protestantism and religious culture of southern whites. The authors' nuanced look at working class religion reveals how laborers across the surprisingly wide evangelical spectrum interpreted their lives through their faith. Factors like conscience, community need, and lived experience led individual preachers to become union activists and mill villagers to defy the foreman and minister alike to listen to organizers. As the authors show, however, all sides enlisted belief in the battle. In the end, the inability of northern organizers to overcome the suspicion with which many evangelicals viewed modernity played a key role in Operation Dixie's failure, with repercussions for labor and liberalism that are still being felt today. Identifying the role of the sacred in the struggle for southern economic justice, and placing class as a central aspect in southern religion, Struggle for the Soul of the Postwar South provides new understandings of how whites in the region wrestled with the options available to them during a crucial period of change and possibility.

Book Description
Gold Medallion Book Award Winner. Over a million copies sold. An inspirational classic for more than thirty years,?Where Is God When It Hurts??honestly explores pain—from physical wounds to emotional and spiritual pain—and sheds new light on God's presence in our suffering. "How can a loving God allow this to happen? God is either all-loving or all-powerful, but he can't be both." You've heard that question, and perhaps you've even asked it yourself. When a loved one dies, we receive a terminal diagnosis, or natural disasters strike, people often wonder whether God is the?cause?of suffering and why he doesn't immediately take away the pain or fix the situation. As a result, we become angry at the once-beloved God who betrayed us. Bestselling author Philip Yancey uses examples from the Bible and from his own experiences to show us how we can learn to accept—without blame, anger, or fear—what we don't understand. Along the way, he answers questions such as: Why is there such a thing as pain? Is pain a message from God? How should we respond to suffering? How can we learn to cope with pain? Where Is God When It Hurts??speaks to everyone who thinks that suffering doesn't make sense. With compassion and clarity, Yancey brings us one step closer to finding an answer when our pain, or the pain of those we love, is real and we are left wondering,?where is God when it hurts? "One of the most helpful treatments of the problem of evil that I've ever read. If I were looking around for something to give to individuals who are going through travail or difficulty, this is the book I'd recommend." —Dr. Vernon Grounds, former Chancellor of Denver Seminar

The Pleasures of God

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I.
