The Spiritual Gifts Handbook - Randy Clark and Mary Healy book review

-
In The Spiritual Gifts Handbook Randy Clark(a charismatic healing minister) and Mary Healy(a Catholic Bible scholar) discuss the controversial issue of spiritual gifts. Many argue over whether the gifts are still around today and if so, which ones. Clark and Healy would both agree that all the gifts are still active and available to all believers. 

The authors attempt to show the reader the biblical and historical evidence for the gifts and get rid of any confusion many have regarding the gifts. They also define and explain the function of a wide variety of the gifts. The book shows both the Protestant and Catholic view of the gifts. I highly recommend this book. 

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

Randy Clark, with a D.Min. from United Theological Seminary and a M.Div. from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is the founder of Global Awakening (www.globalawakening.com), a teaching, healing, and impartation ministry that crosses denominational lines. An in-demand international speaker, he is part of the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening and travels extensively for conferences, international missions, leadership training, and humanitarian aid. Randy and his wife, DeAnne, live in Pennsylvania.

Mary Healy (STD, Pontifical Gregorian University) is professor of Sacred Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan, and a member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission. She is the author of several books, including The Gospel of Mark in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture, for which she serves as coeditor.

Adamant - Lisa Bevere book review

-
Image
The word “adamant” was first used by ancient Greek philosophers to describe a nonexistent stone or metal that is indestructible. Mankind searched for this stone for many years and thought they had found it with the discovery of the diamond. The words diamond and adamant were even used interchangeably until it was discovered that diamonds can melt when exposed to enough heat. Since then the word adamant has been used metaphorically to mean unshakable, immovable, or uncompromising. Lisa Bevere claims to have found this Adamant: Jesus the Cornerstone.  In Adamant, New York Times Bestselling Author Lisa Bevere builds upon this concept of Adamant in eleven chapters describing characteristics God has and characteristics we need to have like. The Adamant, Adamantly Intimate, Adamantly Constant, Adamant in Love, and Adamant in Word are just a few of them. I highly recommend this book.  I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  Lisa Bevere  has spent

Possessing The Gates Of The Enemy - Cindy Jacobs book review

-
Image
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
