Some time ago, the Lord laid on our hearts the burden to write some books about Bible women who distinguished themselves in knowing, loving, and labouring for the Lord mainly, in secret and in private. This led us to conceive the books in the series, “Women of Glory”. The books in this series are: Volume One: The Secluded Worshipper: The Life, Ministry and Glorification Of the Prophetess Anna Volume Two: Unending Intimacy: The Transformation, Choices and Overflow Of Mary of Bethany Volume Three: Winning Love: The Rescue, Development, and Fulfilment Of Mary Magdalene Volume Four: Not Meant for Defeat: The Rise, Battles and Triumph of Queen Esther. The book in your hands – Unending Intimacy: The Transformation, Choices, And Overflow of Mary of Bethany – is the second in the series. The first and the third books in the series have been written and the last book will be written as the Lord perfects the revelation and gives the anointing and the time for it to be written. If you have read the book and have been blessed, I would like to hear from you. Please write and share with me what the Holy Spirit is doing in your heart to bring you to undivided love and undivided devotion to our Blessed Lord.

After years of living with a set of religious demands that he could never live up to, Fil Anderson found himself spiritually bankrupt and emotionally drained. Following a crash-and-burn in professional ministry, he experienced relief in learning to be with God rather than doing for God. Instead of desperation, he found healing, and a rich new life with God.In Breaking the Rules, Fil invites us to explore what happens when good religion turns bad. At such times we are weighed down with expectations of what it takes to be "right with God"--whether it is the expectations of others, holding up under pressure, fixing what's wrong or accomplishing big things for God.When we set aside this false agenda, we find the courage to confess our fears and insecurities. We taste the depths of God's love for us. Here is an opportunity to quit trusting in your own ability to live for God, and simply trust in God instead.

Acclaimed evangelical speaker and writer Tony Campolo teams up with spiritual director and teacher Mary Albert Darling to reveal some gems from the liturgical Christian tradition to Protestants who may be ready for a refreshing change. While steeped in their own evangelical tradition, the authors are not afraid to venture back into Christian history and reclaim practices that have long been considered exclusively Catholic--including Centering Prayer, along with works by Ignatius Loyola and Catherine of Siena--as excellent spiritual tools to help evangelicals grow in faith and love for the poor. A vital theme in Campolo and Darling's work is that spirituality is not solely an individualistic practice but must lead Christians to love and help the oppressed. True Christian mysticism, they posit, is not an either/or proposition. That's because the nexus between evangelism and justice is to be found in Christian mysticism.

While desired, the idea of spiritual intimacy is scary and even threatening to some couples. They've tried those other couples devotional books, but sharing Bible study and prayer time together just doesn't come naturally. And when these sharing times seem awkward and manipulated, many couples put the book back on the shelf and simply go on as they were before. If this sounds all too familiar, Made to Be Loved is the sip of cool water for your thirsty marriage. Steve and Valerie Bell encourage couples to go beyond treating the symptoms of a marriage that lacks spiritual intimacy and go straight to the root of the problem. The real disease that threatens marriages is spiritual distance from God. According to the Bells, "when a husband and wife invite God into their marriage, their perspectives change. Hearts are softened, expectations become more realistic, sexual relations take on a soulish sweetness, even fights get better!" Take your marriage to the next level with the help of Steve and Valerie Bell. Develop a deeper love relationship with you God, and in doing so, create a whole new atmosphere in your marriage.
