Describes How Jesus' Kingdom Values Can Transform the Global North Church

This close look at what the Lord is doing to spread the gospel highlights the key scriptural principles that help Christians reach out in love to share the gospel in their own community.

What can the church today learn from the experience of the early church, particularly as recorded in the Book of Acts?

What is the purpose of your faith?Jesus was not sent to just give you a get-out-of-Hell-free card so you could warm a pew from Sunday to Sunday and live like the rest of the world all week. We sing songs, we give our offerings, we read a little and pray a little, and think to ourselves, "Is this really it? Is this what Jesus died for?"Today Christianity is largely a sleeping giant, an institution which has forgotten its legacy of victorious conquest against the spiritual forces of evil in spreading the light of God's kingdom to all peoples of all nations. We have lost the purpose and vision, adventure and excitement, of the first Christians that we read about in the book of Acts. These dedicated disciples and their followers were delivered from bondage to Satan, sin, and the world, and immediately engaged as front-line soldiers for Jesus in the war against all the spiritual powers of darkness. Inspired and equipped by the Holy Spirit, they preached the gospel, healed the sick, and expelled demons, just like Jesus demonstrated and commanded. Completely surrendered to the Lord, many even suffered a martyr's end without hesitation, motivated only by their desire to honor Christ. Christianity Unleashed is the story of one missionary's journey demonstrating that the exploits of the earliest disciples are not simply fables or events for a particular people at a particular time in history. But rather, Marc Carrier will show you through his experiences, Scripture, and the witness of history that you too can be equipped and mobilized to embark on this great adventure called Christianity. This book will unleash you from what is holding you back and unleash your potential to become a vital part of God's mission. Join King Jesus in this great adventure!

Are you tired of mediocrity, average, the status quo, the norm, or the usual? If you are, then you are primed for your next level. However, after you are primed for the next level, you need to make yourself ready for the next level. God did not create anybody a loser or failure. God is too good to do that. God created all of us winners. Everybody can win and everybody can live a winning life, and constantly too. There is a winner inside you. You are born to win, but to win, you must know how to win. You can be everything that God wants you to be and do everything that He wants you to do if you know how. There is a winner in you, but you need to release him or her for the benefit of your world and to the glory of God. The book Unleashed unfolds time-tested principles from the infallible and unfailing Word of God on how you can unleash the winner in you.

The early church spread with remarkable speed, impelled by joy, urgency, profound compassion, and the day-to-day experience of working in the power of the Holy Spirit. Despite opposition at all levels, the first Christians expressed their love and wonder in acts of kindness, worship, and their eagerness to share the good news of the risen Jesus. Gavin and Anne Calver explore what this extraordinary historical account means for believers today, including: The Holy Spirit in the life of the church; taking risks; living together in the power of the Spirit; works and wonders; hearing from God; responding to the call of God; miracles then and now.

Sonja Corbitt was an evangelical Baptist before she converted to Catholicism. In Unleashed, she shares her passion for the scriptures by weaving the Word of God with her own experiences to show readers how the Holy Spirit flows through their lives in relationships, prayer, and even in times of suffering. Sonja Corbitt’s passionate faith and natural storytelling ability combine to create a refreshing message of how God, in his continual pursuit of us, speaks to us through the positive and painful circumstances of life, relationships, and his Word. In Unleashed, Corbitt testifies that prayerful and regular study of the scriptures is the key to hear the voice of God, to see the Holy Spirit at work even in times of suffering, and to receive all the graces God wants to give.

Endorsed by her bishop as a “credit to her faith,” Corbitt inspires Catholics everywhere to engage with the scriptures with renewed vigor and energy.
