Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grammy Award–winning gospel singer, television star, and radio host Erica Campbell speaks to women of all shapes and sizes and “takes the time to dissect and reveal the beauty that exists in being our authentic, vulnerable selves” (Sarah Jakes Roberts, author of Don’t Settle for Safe) and celebrating the person God made you to be. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be pretty. But Erica Campbell believes we were made to be so much more. As so many women struggle with issues of low self-esteem, depression, and unhealthy habits, Campbell offers a spiritual path that cuts through the highly commercialized, hypersexualized media messages of popular culture, leading women to the true meaning of “pretty” and the true self God wants them to be: empowered, confident, loving, and real. Erica uses her own personal and professional triumphs and failures and the stories of others to help motivate women to redefine and develop true beauty based on biblical principles. With inspirational prose, she shows us how to overcome childhood struggles, push past fears, sharpen our spiritual IQ, and free ourselves from guilt, shame, and low self-confidence. More Than Pretty is a stirring call to action for all women to a life full of power and purpose.

Download or read book No More Whacky Worship written by Omaudi D Reid and published by Harvesters Online Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No More Whacky Worship God's Revival Series Volume 1 Much of our worship is “whacky”. Whacky, meaning it’s worship that does not make true spiritual sense. No More Whacky Worship is a no nonsense admonition of current and prevalent behavior among many named Christians - behavior that nullifies our claim to true worship. The book addresses how to identify and overcome personal and corporate practices that disqualify us from true worship. True worshippers genuinely embrace both private and corporate worship. The book answers questions such as: What practices prevent church-goers from being true worshippers? Can a true worshipper avoid regular church attendance? Are all churches true places of worship? How to overcome the spiritual bondages and strongholds that prevent true worship? How a local church can experience a revival of worship? God's Revival Series This is the first in a series of books around the theme of God’s Revival. God’s Revival is world revival. We are expecting revival to blaze across the world as believers worldwide arise in holiness, prophesying under the power of God and preaching the return of Jesus Christ (Joel 2:28). This book begins a journey to grasp the tenets needed for Christian believers to be catalysts for God’s Revival. The books in the series include: No More More Whacky Worship, Start Praying Hard, The Convicting Power of God, and Your Prophetic Release.

Download or read book So Much More written by Todd Hudson and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2014 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The normal Christian life should be anything but "normal"--it should be supernatural, one in which the living God expresses His very life in us and through us. With So Much More! Pastor Todd Hudson challenges all believers to embrace the supernatural power of God as a lifestyle. Todd is no stranger to his message. His own life has been supernaturally "wrecked," he says, by the Holy Spirit. When God called him to resign from the 4,000-member evangelical megachurch he led for nine years and plant a Spirit-filled church, he began a new ministry of calling believers to live in resurrection power today, not someday in the future. If you know deep inside that there must be so much more to the Christian life, then Todd will help you discover how to experience and release the kingdom in your life today and tomorrow!

Download or read book Speculations of a More Distant Future written by Isaiah-Steven Paul and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Either God’s people believe His promises, or they don’t; either they will hold to God’s promises, or they won’t. In order to believe and hold to those promises, a believer first has to know and understand what those promises are. Isaiah-Steven has taken on that task in this study which searches for a glimpse of the more distant future. It is written that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive what God has in store for us in the more distant future. But nowhere does it say that we are not to search for that understanding. Think on this: if God really does offer mankind substance which fulfills the Hope that every believer holds, wouldn’t He in some way reveal that to us? If we are expected to meditate on that Hope through Faith, praising Him for His abundant goodness, then shouldn’t God reveal those spiritual realities? God, in fact, does share many of those secrets through His Holy Spirit, and they can be found throughout the entire Bible and in plain sight. Those revelations may be considered prophetic in nature, because they speak of something that has not yet occurred. Finding those secrets and understanding those mysteries becomes the start of an exciting journey. That start can be found in Speculations of a More Distant Future.

Download or read book The More Excellent Way written by and published by Crucifer Press. This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates why, unlike in the early centuries, the ethical behavior of Christians today is so little different from that of non-Christians. It does this by first reviewing the teachings of Jesus about how Christians are to live and the positive response of early Christians to these teachings. The major portion of the book then documents how the rise of asceticism and the proliferation of church law came to eclipse Jesus' teachings of serving others through unselfish love. It reviews how Chrysostom, Augustine, Luther, and others tried to return the church to the New Testament way of life. The book reaches two conclusions: Christians today prefer to live by only avoiding the gross evils forbidden by the Ten Commandments rather than by Jesus' all-inclusive New Commandment of loving one another as he loved us. They are also willing to offer God the piety of churchly activity, but what God also asks, a life of goodness serving one's fellowman, they feel is just asking too much.
