DOWNLOAD EBOOK"How can the Holy Spirit have more of me?" The conception of the Holy Spirit as a Divine influence or power that we are somehow to get hold of and use, leads to self-exaltation and self-sufficiency. One who so thinks of the Holy Spirit and who at the same time imagines that he has received the Holy Spirit will almost inevitably be full of spiritual pride and strut about as if he belonged to some superior order of Christians. One frequently hears such persons say, "I am a Holy Ghost man," or "I am a Holy Ghost woman." But if we once grasp the thought that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person of infinite majesty, glory and holiness and power, who in marvelous condescension has come into our hearts to make His abode there and take possession of our lives and make use of them, it will put us in the dust and keep us in the dust. I can think of no thought more humbling or more overwhelming than the thought that a person of Divine majesty and glory dwells in my heart and is ready to use even me.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKYou Walk, He Leads is not the usual 7-steps to discover God’s will; it’s about walking in relationship with the Lord to know Him who wants you to know and do His will. The book argues that the first step to do God’s will is not about trying to discover God’s hidden will, it’s about discerning God’s revealed will. Can you imagine God saying, “I want you to do My will. Now go figure!”? Part 1 of You Walk, He Leads deals with three fundamental issues about discerning and doing God’s will, such as, Is God’s will a dot or a circle? Part 2 discusses the key elements that a person needs to discern and walk in God’s will. One of which is about having the right values. Personal values have the power to influence a person’s decision. Godly values lead to right decisions, ungodly values lead to wrong decisions. Part 3 provides the reader with three excellent tools to help him or her to walk in the Lord’s direction for his or her life: Marking Your Milestones, Drawing Your Timeline and Framing Your Purpose. You Walk, He Leads is written by a Malaysian Christian in the Malaysian context, but the principles are universal. The book is written in an easy-to-read style and well-illustrated with biblical and personal examples.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Smith's sage advice will aid Christians in recognizing the simple joys of practicing their faith."--Publishers Weekly Western culture is in a tailspin, and Christian faith is entangled in it: we do kingdom things in empire ways. Western approaches to faith leave us feeling depressed, doubting, anxious, and burned out. We know something is wrong with the way we do faith and church in the West, but we're so steeped in it that we don't know where to begin to break old habits. Popular pastor and speaker Mandy Smith invites us to be unfettered from the deeply ingrained habits of Western culture so we can do kingdom things in kingdom ways again. She explores how we can be transformed by new postures and habits that help us see God already at work in and around us. The way forward isn't more ideas, programs, and problem-solving but in Jesus's surprising invitation to the kingdom through childlikeness. Ultimately, rediscovering childlike habits is a way for us to remember how to be human. Unfettered helps us reimagine how to follow God with our whole selves again and join with God's mission in the world. Foreword by Walter Brueggemann.
