How does a Christian discern the will of God? While this question lies at the heart of Christian moral life, religious communities struggle to articulate responses that balance simple faith and rational reflection. Some characterise discernment as simpleobedience to the commandments in Scripture; others portray it as an exercise of human reason and conscience. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian, pastor, and political conspirator who embodied a life of discernment amidst difficult circumstances in WWII Germany, offers a compelling theological account of how to seek and respond to God's will. By tracing Bonhoeffer's understanding of moral discernment throughout his writings, and especially in his Ethics, Joshua A. Kaiser demonstrates the importance of discernment for Bonhoeffer's vision of Christian ethics and explores how his view combines elements of simple faith and rational reflection. While the results of the study will be significant for those interested in Bonhoeffer, they will also be relevant to all who struggle along the path of Christian discipleship.

The Wildfire is a 50-day scripture-based prayer book and journal for those desiring to fan into flame a Holy Spirit wildfire, a new Pentecost through soaking prayer. Let's invite the Holy Trinity into our lives to: 1) change and revive us; 2) work on us through His seven sanctification gifts; 3) use us through His nine enabling gifts; 4) teach us to be compassionate like the Holy Trinity; 5) show us how to be a good disciple like Mary; 6) worship God and pray in the harvest; and 7) pray for a release of His anointing. The journaling pages enable us to reflect on God's love and discover Holy Spirit gems of loving and walking with Him. Annet O'Mara experienced a physical healing in her hands in February 1990, after suffering a debilitating limitation on them. She, then, started praying a nine-day devotional to the Holy Spirit. On the first three nights of praying the devotional, the Holy Spirit visited Annet even as she slept and moved her hands in a dance-like fashion - it was as if her hands thanked and praised God, even as He healed them. Annet was convicted in her spirit that Jesus had completely healed her; He had restored complete movement to her hands. Now, through The Wildfire, Annet invites you to pray for a new, refreshing, and vibrant Pentecostal outpouring of God's grace and love to all who will surrender totally to Him, and walk faithfully with Him. She believes that you will experience a joyous revival in your heart, body, soul, and spirit as you pray for others, too. Currently, Annet works as a college writing instructor. She and her husband, Don, live in Syracuse, New York, where they serve in their local church community.

Evangelists must be careful to maintain a delicate balance. What devout Christian does not long to see sinners converted and brought into the Church? It is hard to imagine a person who has been redeemed from the power and penalty of sin, not desiring for other needy people to come to same salvation. However, it is possible for sincere Christians to be so zealous about soul-winning that they virtually attempt to force sinners to embrace Jesus Christ as Savior. In contrast, there are Christians who have been so discouraged by soul-winning failures that they have given up trying, and are determined to let God save who He will without their help. Both of these positions are out of balance and result in failure. What does God say about evangelism? What part does He play? What does He expect His people to do? The Bible records many wonderful invitations from God to needy people. These invitations offer insight into God's plans and purposes. The great invitations of the Bible demonstrate the great grace of God who offers them.
