Many Christians would be excited to know they have a spiritual inheritance, but they don't have a clue what that really involves. Why is that? Juanita Bynum, author of the New york Times best seller The Threshing Floor, takes you right to the core issue. What place does your pastor hold in your church, your community, and your own heart? Bynum minces no words as she describes how our spiritual leaders have been placed in our lives to help us move into the full portion of the inheritance god has for us. But it will not happen unless we allow them to speak into our lives. Bynum answers the following questions: ? Do I really want to be released into the spiritual destiny god has for me? ? Am I ready to inherit the power god has deposited in my spiritual forefathers? ? Do I want to see spiritual authority flowing through my pastor and my church? ? Am I ready to inherit my destiny from god to go out and minister to others?
