The Christian’s Path to Power By: D. R. Cooper The author states that his zeal for the less fortunate was prompted by the following scripture: “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’” (Matthew 25:40). The author candidly admits that there have been many successes and a few failures on his journey. The successes were due to following the lead of the Holy Spirit. The failures were the result of his own poor choices. The author proclaims the following mission statement for the book: If one senior believer regains the joy of their salvation, or if a believer, young in the faith, utilizes the information in the book to avoid future pitfalls in their journey, the author will consider this endeavor to be a success.

Vicky Thompson has directly experienced the power of connecting with divine wisdom for leading a Spirit-driven life. "I lost my faith in God at a very young age," she writes. "Over the years, I tried many ways to move beyond these experiences, but my faith never returned. So at the turn of the millennium, I decided to try something new and ask God directly for help in healing myself. The response was overwhelming. As I found my faith, the divine model of awakening, illustrated through stories about Jesus, began to flow during my meditational writing with God." In The Jesus Path, she shares the wisdom revealed to her about Jesus' own 7-step divine model of awakening, by releasing fear and doubt and reconnecting with the wisdom of the higher spirit-self. Read mystical stories of Jesus' meditations with divine masters, conversations with his disciples, and new stories about healing the ancient people of Israel. Divinely inspired exercises, meditations, and affirmations provide us with ways to reawaken our connection with God and practice divine living every day of our lives. Book jacket.

New York Times bestselling author Lee Strobel trains his investigative sights on the hot-button question: is it really credible to believe God intervenes supernaturally in people's lives today? This provocative book starts with an unlikely interview in which America's foremost skeptic builds a seemingly persuasive case against the miraculous. But then Strobel travels the country to quiz scholars to see whether they can offer solid answers to atheist objections. Along the way, he encounters astounding accounts of healings and other phenomena that simply cannot be explained away by naturalistic causes. The book features the results of exclusive new scientific polling that shows miracle accounts are much more common than people think. What's more, Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don't happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn't he do it more often to relieve suffering? Many American Christians are embarrassed by the supernatural, not wanting to look odd or extreme to their neighbors. Yet, The Case for Miracles shows not only that the miraculous is possible, but that God still does intervene in our world in awe-inspiring ways. Here’s a unique book that examines all sides of this issue and comes away with a passionate defense for God's divine action in lives today. Also available: The Case for Miracles Spanish edition, kids' edition, and student edition.

"When I first came across Nouwen's phase 'downward mobility, ' it struck me as radical, counterintuitive, and profoundly true. His reminder of Jesus' message goes against nearly everything in modern life, but ignoring it has led to most of the urgent problems we now face: global warming, poverty, and a deep sense of alienation. Perhaps it is not too late to change, and Henri Nouwen has shown the way." Philip Yancy In this short work, Henri Nouwen offers a penetrating reflection on the challenge of the spiritual life, especially the call to imitate Christ's example of "downward mobility." Illustrated with drawings by Vincent van Gogh, The Selfless Way of Christ is an inspiring guide for ministers and everyone walking the path of discipleship.

Preface: Welcome to Chapter 1: "The Power of Forgiveness." Within these pages, we embark on a profound exploration into the dynamics of forgiveness and its transformative potential within the church community. This chapter serves as a gateway to understanding a critical aspect of spiritual growth and unity—the impact of resentment and the essential journey toward embracing forgiveness. Resentment, a formidable emotion, has the potential to cast shadows within the sacred walls of a church. Its insidious presence can sow divisions, impede spiritual development, and obstruct the very essence of forgiveness. As we delve into this sub-chapter, our focus is on comprehending "Understanding Resentment in the Church." By unraveling the layers of resentment and acknowledging its detrimental effects, we aim to pave the way for the restoration of love, compassion, and unity within the church. Resentment often arises from a myriad of sources—unmet expectations, perceived injustices, or unresolved conflicts. These emotions can be rooted in disagreements over leadership, differences in theological interpretations, or personal grievances among members. Left unaddressed, resentment becomes a corrosive force, eroding the foundations of trust and unity that are vital for a thriving church community. As we navigate the intricate web of resentment, we confront the consequences it imposes on the church. The erosion of trust, breakdown in communication, and the emergence of gossip create an environment that is antithetical to the teachings of grace, love, and forgiveness. In understanding the root causes and consequences of resentment, we lay the groundwork for breaking free from its chains and unlocking the true power of forgiveness. This chapter invites you to reflect on the transformative journey from resentment to forgiveness—a journey that holds the promise of renewed unity, spiritual growth, and a flourishing church community. May these pages serve as a guide on the path towards embracing forgiveness, unlocking the profound power it holds within the sacred spaces of the church.
