The Word and the Spirit


Book Description

In the past there have been those who live their spiritual lives by biblical explanation only. At the same time others have based their theological dispositions on "signs and wonders" characterized by the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. Popular teachers Paul Cain and R.T. Kendall believe that God is on the brink of releasing an era of unprecedented glory as the people of God "marry" together both the Word and the Spirit.

I Will be Your God


Book Description

Like many of us, T. M. Moore once viewed the Bible as little more than a handbook on conversion and moral living. Then he came to see the larger view set forth in the biblical teaching on God's covenant. Moore writes, I began to see that all of life is there for taking and remaking--a richer devotional life, sustained growth in the Lord, renewed and more loving relationships, meaningful work and leisure, and the calling to transform every institution, all of culture and society, according to the wisdom and grace of God. I had never heard the Christian faith explained in such cosm and powerful terms. I was stunned. Where had I been? Why was my own experience of Christ so shallow and self-centered?...All at once, as if in a moment, I experienced a stretching of my mind, a reenergizing of my soul, and a kindling of fervor in my heart such as I had never known before. I Will Be Your God is dedicated to encouraging such an outlook on life by promoting a better understanding of the nature, meaning, and implications of living in God's covenant

The Biblical Spirit


Book Description

Nicodemus appears to be unaware that the personal work of the Spirit has always been essential for inclusion within God's covenant. The Holy Spirit is the life of Christ in his church ... A new covenant missionary would be inept without the filling of the Spirit in addition to the general work of the Spirit in regeneration ... Holy Spirit charisms are necessary for the church to minister as the body of Christ. The Spirit is the means of the establishment of the world church as the new covenant people of God ... The Pentecost language miracle indicated the world domain of the gospel. God has planned something better than rich cultural/ religious traditions which have no power to save, namely, membership in the new covenant and the blessing of spiritual union with Christ the life-giving Spirit. - from the text of The Biblical Spirit

Total Forgiveness


Book Description

R.T. Kendall has given us a treasure…the hope and possibility of experiencing incredible freedom and peace that can only come when we walk in total forgiveness. One of the core messages of the gospel is that of total forgiveness…not only that we can be totally forgiven by God, but also that we must, in turn, totally forgive others. Our culture is bound up in bitterness, resentment, and wallowing in wounds inflicted upon us by others, wounds that we all too easily accept and even cling to! This revised and updated best seller lovingly challenges believers to look within and root out those hidden and hardened places where subtle resentments and areas of un-forgiveness have been allowed to remain.
