OVERCOME SPIRITUAL DRYNESS, BE RESTORED, REVIVED, AND ENJOY SPIRITUAL FRESHNESS AGAIN!!! "How tragic when a Christian leader, like Samson, has once known special times of the Lord's enabling when the spirit came upon him "in power" and then begins to rely on his own 'know-how, ' his busy endeavours, and his administrative skills more than on the Lord," Dr. Wesley Duewel We ebb spiritually in such a slow manner that we hardly can notice. We pull off that "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" without any knowledge. Subtly, we die; yet notice it, we hardly can. Think about it: Why is Your Spiritual Life Recently Becoming Such an Uphill Task? Spiritual Dryness can be a dangerous spiritual state, if not properly understood and handled. ✓ "Overcoming Spiritual Dryness" is a must-read for every born-again Christian whose appetite for God and spiritual hunger has greatly declined. But apart from those who are on the verge of collapse, it is also for whoever thinks he is standing in the Faith. ✓ This book will help to restore a sinking Church and a collapsing Minister whose joy for service is gone. He has been struggling daily to live right, without taking time to deliberate or prepare himself for the benefit of the flock. ✓ When personal needs and demands overtake the Ministerial mind; when Christians measure success by worldly standards; when decisions for spiritual things are looked at, judged, and considered by sight and not by faith; then of a truth, a state of DRYNESS has set in. ✓ When God is only given a second and not a first place, then, one must accept the truth and quickly seek restoration and refreshing. Read this book! It is the best pill for a spiritually declining state. But it must never stop with you only...get others to get it and read.

If you’re looking to learn how to get the most out of prayer, this book is indispensable. As St. Augustine notes, When we pray, we speak to God; when we read Scripture, God speaks to us. The key to enriching our prayer is learning the language of Christianity, and the most effective way to learn the language of Christianity is an ancient technique known as lectio divina (“divine reading”). In these pages, you will learn: ● How God speaks directly to each of us in Scripture. ● How to overcome the obstacles to a consistent and fruitful prayer life. ● Why the fourfold method of lectio divina leads us directly into the heart of contemplative prayer. ● Strategies for reading - and praying - the Bible fruitfully. ● What Christian meditation is and how it differs from non-Christian approaches. ● How everyone - not just saints and mystics - can truly reach mystical union with God. In this succinct book, Catholic theologian and biblical scholar Dr. Tim Gray walks you through the Bible and the wisdom of the saints to reveal the practical steps of this great treasure of our Tradition. Learning the simple steps of lectio divina will provide a practical and effective way for you to enhance your prayer life through the power of God’s Word.

Intellectual turmoil and spiritual yearning for many years. What about disserting for Holy Spirit? The divine power of God has given us freedom to choose Christ or the devil, but God's will remains absolute and always comes first. In God's divine providence, our prayers are answered while his will remains intact, but because of his constant love, he can release the grace to guide us in all matters. After researching and examining the reality of parents bringing up leadership, I wish to share cogent information that there is a critical mass of parents trapped in ignorance, lacking vision and loving leadership. Hence, the youth are reliant on parents who may be destroying and breaking their hearts. And yet, the parents' hearts are bleeding as the drugs, cheap beer, consumption, and carefree, mass-commercialized sex practices take the toll on youths' lives. There is a dire desperation, and the parents are turning in the drugs, commercial sex, and booking for money at whatever cost-even involving evil rituals, building partnership with the fallen angels, and baying for blood to meet the set targets. The problems are insurmountable, since everything is shrouded by secrecy and a husband can buy several cars for a wife who lives to flatter life but does not know what is in store for her. The evil prosperity is spreading very quickly as the brutal spirit of competition takes root, and this is fueled by the powerful images of power, wealth, fame, love, and beauty found everywhere on the internet, in advertising, on TV shows, and in print and electronic media.

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.
