The Purpose Driven Church


Book Description

The issue is church health, not church growth—if your church is healthy, growth will occur naturally. So how do we make healthy churches, driven by purpose? In order for any church to thrive, it must be built around the five New Testament purposes given to the church by Jesus Christ. In this classic of Christian church stability, pastor and bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren unpacks this proven five-part strategy that will enable your church to grow: Warmer through fellowship. Deeper through discipleship. Stronger through worship. Broader through ministry. Larger through evangelism. Every church is driven by something. Tradition, finances, programs, personalities, events, seekers, and even buildings can each be the controlling force in a church. But Warren will show you how to concentrate on building people and let God build the church. In other words, healthy, consistent growth is the result of balancing the five biblical purposes of the church. And The Purpose Driven Church will show you how to do that. “The Purpose Driven Church has brought focus and direction to more pastors and church leaders than you can count. What a gift!”—John Ortberg, bestselling author.

Spiritual Doors


Book Description

My name is Lavance Washington. This book is about spiritual doors. I'm writing this book to not only expose the natural doors of life but to expose the spiritual doors of life as well. In life there's always doors that we go through, whether it's to our bedroom, kitchen, our job, or going out to eat, etc. There's always doors involved in our lives, and each door brings forth something different to experience in life. The natural door of life we can see, and we normally can see what's behind them and how you to respond to what's on the other side of the door, whether it's good or bad, but the spiritual door in life is a whole new ballpark of experience. I've experienced some of these spiritual doors and what's on the other side of those doors and what comes through those doors, and I'm mainly speaking mostly about the evil doors. I'm sharing how different spiritual doors expose different spiritual attacks in the spiritual world and how these doors are real. I'm sharing my encounters about the spiritual world and how it's opened me up to see differently. It's taught me how to battle the spiritual attacks and what weapons we need. Also, I'd like for those people who have experienced some of the same similar battles to know you're not alone and you're not crazy. There's nothing wrong with sharing your testimony. Share to those that are in the dark that spiritual doors are real; you can't see the doors or what's on the other side like you can see in the natural realm, but they are truly there; evil is real. I pray that this book will enlighten people of the world today, but the good side is that God has opened so many good doors for me, as well doors of blessings and doors of prosperity, and most importantly the door to everlasting life in heaven. Glory to my God for saving my life. Now I'm a soldier for the Lord.

Seven Doors to Islam


Book Description

Seven Doors to Islam reveals the religious worldview and spiritual tradition of the world's one billion Muslims. Spanning the breadth of Islamic civilization from Morocco to Indonesia, this book demonstrates how Muslims have used the literary and visual arts in all their richness and diversity to communicate religious values. Each of the seven chapters opens a "door" that leads progressively closer to the very heart of Islam, from the foundational revelation in the Qur'an to the transcendent experience of the Sufi mystics. However, unlike most studies of Islam, which see spirituality as the concern of a minority of mystical seekers, Seven Doors demonstrates its central role in every aspect of the Islamic tradition.




ALTARS, SPIRITUAL GATES, AND COVENANTS


Book Description

There are Godly altars and satanic altars. There are gates of Godly blessings, and there are gates of curses and spiritual attacks. Also, there are Godly covenants as well as satanic and ungodly covenants. Many of the things that you see and experience in your life and ministry are because of existing altars, spiritual gates, and covenants - positive or negative, known or unknown. Altars may be raised to bless or curse, promote or pull down a person or a group of people, and to enhance a cause or to frustrate it. Spiritual gates may manifest by strange occurrences in someone's life. But no matter how it may manifest, if the person involved settles the issue with repentance, renunciation, prayer, and speaking forth the Word of God, the devil will bow and his works will be destroyed.




The Fasting Key


Book Description

When the author began to study the subject of fasting some years ago he was shocked by the number of biblical references he found referring to it. Clearly fasting was not some biblical "side issue," but a central element of spiritual life. Fasting is a discipline that has been practised by many influential men and women of God throughout church history with dramatic results. The author says, "Fasting has become an essential part of my walk with the Lord. It continues to amaze me that I lived for so long without this key that unlocks so many blessings." Using the metaphor of a key, this book discusses how Fasting will unlock the blessings of God.
