To be his second publication to the Christendom, the book is heralded for its spiritual enlightenment, enrichment and encouragement. The author has used the concepts of conformation, transformation and reformation to bring out his spiritual walk with Christ which has been quite rewarding to him and those he has ministered to. No doubt he can exclaim the satisfaction, contentment and gain as it comes from being perfected and used by his God. His intent of this literature is to make the scriptures an opened and rewarding experience with any believer who wants to commit his life and time in becoming the being God wants to create. Apparently he has learned the secret of developing an eternal perspective in the midst of his earthly problems. For he was able to live above his circumstances and rejoice even while being persecuted because of his firm grasp on who he was in Christ and where he was going. In spite of his life situations, he could write, "For in him I live, and move, and have my being." Being confident of this very thing, that He (God) which hath begun a good work in him will perform it until the day of his coming.

Popular Bible teacher and host of the Gospel Truth broadcast, Andrew Wommack takes on one of the biggest controversies of the church, the freedom of God's grace verses the faith of the believer. Wommack reveals that God's power is not released from only grace or only faith. God's blessings come through a balance of both grace and...

Hello, Boomers! We're dedicating this book to you so you can get that old "boom" back. With over 100 years of fitness and nutrition experience combined, we knew as we rounded the corner to another year and another phase of our lives, we needed to write this book, "If You Want to Live, Move!" and share our best secrets and tips with our fellow boomers (and seniors!).

One of us was born in 1926, and the other was born in 1961. One of us lives on the west coast and one in the Midwest. One of us is a woman, one of us, a man. One, a senior (from the greatest generation that ever lived), one a boomer. On the surface, it appears we don't have much in common.In fact, we have a lot in common; the most important is this: We both have a passion for teaching others the right way to live fuller, richer lives!

To LIVE | MOVE| and HAVE in Christ is quite simple. Yet we make our lives so complicated. Our human nature is to WANT, GET, AND CONQUER, yet God's Word will give us all the fullness of life we could ever want by simply obeying the instructions and promises that God has for us all. We'll never fully understand the scope of God's love until we meet Him face-to-face. Paul tried really hard to express it in terms that we could understand. In Acts 9, Paul experienced a face-to-face encounter with Jesus, one that changed the course of his entire life. This encounter hit Paul so hard that he spent the rest of his life trying to teach everyone he touched the love of God. This devotional is a guide that is supported by biblical teachings to BEING. Right or wrong, we all have courses set out for our lives. Sometimes we get off course and need to hit the reset button. Think of this perhaps in GPS terms, a recalculation to get us back on the right course that God wants for us. We are all unique and have special gifts that God can use to further His kingdom. By studying His Word together, we'll discover how to recalculate our lives to LIVE | MOVE | and HAVE what God wants for our lives. For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring." (Acts 17:28 NKJV)

God has more for us than what we are experiencing. We have all limited God in our lives at some point in one way or another. Fear of success, fear of persecution and imaginations are all ways that we limit God. We often see ourselves in a certain way but we have to change that image if we want to experience the abundant life that God has for...
