The Burden Is Light - Jon Tyson Review

-

Before reading this book I had heard of Jon Tyson but had never read anything by him, but after seeing that Banning Liebscher endorsed the book I decided to read it. The Burden Is Light is about “liberating your life from the tyranny of performance and success.” The author accomplishes this in eight chapters. Each one centers around a common burdensome character trait and the biblical solution to it. He covers topics like comparison/calling, control/surrender, and distraction/presence. I highly recommend this book. 

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

JON TYSON is a widely respected church planter and leader in New York City. Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Jon moved to the United States almost twenty years ago with a passion to seek and cultivate renewal in the Western Church. Jon has spoken at Q Conference, Catalyst, Verge Network, The New Wine Conference, and other key venues around the world. He is often sought out for his insights on how culture and faith intersect, and is known for his preaching, which is a rare combination of passion and depth. Jon lives in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan with his wife and two children.

Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy - Cindy Jacobs book review

First published in 1991, Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy has come to be known by some as a classic. The new 4th edition has been revised and contains a study guide. This edition also has new forewords by Lou Engle and the late C. Peter Wagner.  In Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy Cindy Jacobs, a prophet and intercessor, chronicles her journey as an intercessor. She also explains what intercession is, how to intercede, and how NOT to intercede. Jacobs also writes specifically to pastors, prayer leaders and other ministry leaders in certain sections of the book. This book is written for anyone, whether someone with an interest in intercession or an experienced intercessory prayer group leader looking for ways to improve their group. I highly recommend this book.  I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.   Cindy Jacobs  and her husband, Mike, are the founders of Generals International, a worldwide ministry that works to ach
