Lit Up With Love: Becoming Good-News People to a Gospel-Starved World by Derwin L. Gray
Sharing your faith does not have to be something awkward. You love Jesus, and your life shows it every day. Why not evangelize from that perspective?
In Lit Up With Love: Becoming Good-News People to a Gospel-Starved World, Derwin Gray provides a guide for those who want to share the Gospel authentically. The author provides a holistic approach to evangelism that is about more than finding a random person on the street and forcing them to hear the message of Jesus. This book is ideal for the evangelist.Â
FEAR: The Silent Enemy by Clarence KD McNair
Fear is not something that a person has at birth. In many ways, small children are fearless as they are oblivious to the dangers surrounding them. With time, however, fear sets up shops and, if left unchecked, keeps us from doing the things God has called us to.
In FEAR: The Silent Enemy, Clarence McNair seeks to expose the roots of fear. The author does not dismiss one’s reasons for being fearful in certain situations. McNair instead offers the remedy of scripture as a reminder that perfect love casts out fear. This book can serve as a companion for those journeying through anxiety who already have a medical plan in place.Â
I Surrender All by Priscilla Shirer
Salvation is free to all because Jesus paid the price so we can have connection with God. Discipleship, however, requires total surrender. We are required to give up everything to follow Jesus.
In I Surrender All, Priscilla Shirer invites readers to forsake all to follow the way of Jesus. The author outlines the distinct difference between someone who accepts the gift of salvation and the individual who decides to be a disciple of Jesus. This book is ideal for those looking to go deeper in their faith journey.Â
The Dream of You: Let Go of Broken Identities and Live the Life You Were Made For by Jo Saxton
Too often, we aim to be the best in school so we can get the job, become the best at work, and then make enough money that leads to wealth. But what if God never called you to be who you’ve been striving to be this whole time?
In The Dream of You: Let Go of Broken Identities and Live the Life You Were Made For, Jo Saxton explores the notion of Christians seeking God for identity instead of turning to worldly pleasures for satisfaction. The author encourages readers to tap into the gifts and talents that may have been suppressed because they did not meet society’s expectations. This book is perfect for those searching for deeper meaning in life.Â
Restored at the Root: Get to the Source of Social, Emotional, and Spiritual Struggle by Joseph W. Walker III
There are times when our emotions run rampant and we try to find quick ways to serve as remedies for our heartache. What if, however, there is a spiritual connection to your emotional turmoil?
In Restored at the Root: Get to the Source of Social, Emotional, and Spiritual Struggle, Joseph W. Walker III encourages readers to identify what he believes may be demonic attacks posing as emotional and mental distresses. The author advises individuals who subscribe to his philosophy to confront their issues from a spiritual standpoint. This book could be a great read for those who believe in deliverance ministry. Â
