SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Applying The Kingdom In Applying the Kingdom, the third book in his 'Kingdom' series, Dr. Myles Munroe makes the case that the key to abundant living is found in establishing priorities in one's life and living by them. Topping his list is the priority, 'Kingdom First!' as Jesus sets out in Matthew 6:33: 'But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.' The key to life is finding our true purpose and living it. And our true purpose is wrapped up in giving absolute priority to living for the Kingdom and the righteousness of God.

The Holy Spirit Richard Bewes says, 'When this book first came out, I remember Liz my wife saying, ?This is the best book on the Holy Spirit that I have ever read.? And as I read it myself, I realised what a marvellous Bible student the world's leading evangelist is. Illustrated by stories and personal observations, the book is nevertheless packed with teaching. Highly readable, compelling, instructive, generous in spirit and inspiring even for the newest believer, The Holy Spirit is, to my mind, Billy Graham?s best book ever. It ought to feature on every church bookstall in the country.' Billy Graham addresses key insights into pressing questions, such as: Who is the Holy Spirit? A peson? A spirit? God? What does the Holy Spirit do? How does the Holy Spirit communicate? How does he minister and witness? What is the baptism in the Holy Spirit? What is the sin against the Holy Spirit? It shows us how to live through the power of the Spirit, including: How the Holy Spirit can give us the freedom not to sin What it means to live a Spirit-controlled life Why - and how - to access the Holy Spirit's special gifts How to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

If You Want To Walk On Water, You've Got To Get Out Of The Boat A challenging book that shows how God is calling us to step out of our comfort zones and step into the extraordinary life of faith. You're one step away from the adventure of your life. Deep within you lies the same faith and longing that sent Peter walking across the wind-swept Sea of Galilee toward Jesus. John Ortberg invites you to consider the incredible potential that awaits you outside your comfort zone. Out of the risky waters of faith, Jesus is waiting to meet you in ways that will change you forever, deepening your character and your trust in God. The experience is terrifying. It's thrilling beyond belief. It's everything you'd expect of someone worthy to be called Lord. The choice is yours to know him as only a water-walker can, aligning yourself with God's purpose for your life in the process. There's just one requirement: you've got to get out of the boat.

In his best-selling book Rediscovering the Kingdom, Myles Munroe made a compelling case that the kingdom of God is the true message of the gospel and the only message that Jesus preached. Now, in Kingdom Principles, the second book in the "Kingdom" series, Munroe insists that we cannot appropriate and enjoy the benefits of God's kingdom until we understand how it operates. Accordingly, he provides in this follow-up volume a detailed examination of the principles, concepts, and characteristics of the kingdom of God. As you study such principles as the Kingdom concepts of kings, lord, territory, law, citizens, royal privilege, culture, economy and others, prepare for your thinking about God's kingdom and mankind's destiny to be radically transformed. Kingdom Principles will help you learn to think and act like a Kingdom citizen and the ruler God intended you to be. It will infuse your life as a believer with a new sense of excitement and purpose.

Permission Is Granted To Do Church Diffe A must read for anyone who wants to 'do church differently,' in the third millennium. On several occasions, history has provided the needed critical mass and the synergistic inertia to thrust the church into breaking out of its box and becoming the force in culture and society that God intended it to be. Today, the church, in the 21st Century, has once again reached this 'critical mass.' It is something so big and so obvious that the winds of change demand we look hard at our forms and face the reality that a different church must provide a different response to a post-modern age. This Third Millennium ('a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day,' 2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4), or this 'Third Day' requires a 'Third Way' of doing and being the church. This book tells the story of one of those churches - a single-cell, Sunday morning, building-driven, pastor-dominated church that has broken out into an empowering network of churches and ministries.
