I pray that this great book will be placed in the hands of thousands of men and women across the globe. Spiritual authority and hearing the voice of God is so ably articulated, that even the ‘new’ Christian will be armed and equipped to identify and recognize these challenges when they arise. Dr. Graham Power Power Group/Global Day of Prayer Being Janet Van Hierden’s pastor has been a pleasure. She is a godly woman, deeply prayerful, who adores the Bride of Christ, and practices what she preaches. If there were anyone in our congregation whose prayers for the Bride I would appreciate and value, it would be hers. Bishop Todd Atkinson Via Apostolica & River of Life Church Being gripped with the realization that a great harvest of souls is upon us, there is a sense of urgency as the author through personal stories and testimonies gives practical advice in areas such as: Gaining advantage through “proper response in suffering”, and exposing “a deep secret of satan” Aquiring “authority through unity in marriage” What it means for a “woman to surround a man” for his protection This pithy, but easy to read manual helps prepare the Bride for the return of the Bridegroom, while leaving the reader wanting more.

Bridal Intercession is a book for such a time as this, approaching the topic of intercessory prayer from the perspective of the Church's place as the Bride of Christ. Rather than seeing prayer as an issue-oriented, anxiety-based exercise that produces fatigue, Gary Wiens presents prayer as joyful and romantic communion between the Lover and His Beloved. The approach is thoroughly biblical, utilizing the stories of God's relationship with His people as the foundation for the contemporary call to intercessory prayer.

A theologically grounded treatment of what it means to be close to God Numerous Christian books aim to provide guidance on relationships with God, but few base their conclusions on a biblical theology of intimacy. In this volume, Tim Anderson develops a biblical and holistic portrait of nearness to God, exploring key themes like God's Trinitarian union, the fall, God's fatherhood, marriage imagery, suffering, and our relationship with the Holy Spirit. A concluding chapter examines contemporary Christian songs that address oneness with God and evaluates their theological messages in light of the previous chapters. Into His Presence is a helpful guide for pursuing intimacy with God and distinguishing contemporary cultural understandings of close relationships from those communicated in Scripture.

You Are Here—>God’s Heart You have been embraced with an outrageous authenticity of an exchanged life, His for yours. Most believers have never been taught that God is always in a good mood and totally in love with them. As a result, families and churches create shaming cultures that place Christians in spiritual bondage. Remember Who You Are presents the truth that only the powerful love of God and a revelation of who you are to Him can break this too-common oppression. Then you can be confident knowing you are loved and carry the authority Jesus gave you as His Bride. Thought-provoking chapter topics include: The True Nature of God Is there Spiritual Abuse? Humanity’s Deepest Issue God Believes in You God Says You Have All Authority Remember Who You Are challenges you to examine what you believe about yourself in light of your relationship with God as the Bride of Christ. Very helpful with this self-examination are the in-depth, interactive study questions that accompany each chapter.
