HOW YOU CAN BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD: Legacy Edition by Kenneth E. Hagin

“Have you ever asked yourself, ‘Was that me or was it God?’ If so, this book is for you!

“It has never been more important to be able to discern the leading of the Spirit of God than it is today. With many voices—the voice of the world, the voice of our flesh, the voice of the enemy—competing for our attention, it is imperative that we tune into the leading of God’s Spirit. HOW YOU CAN BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD: Legacy Edition teaches you how to focus on the Spirit’s leading in every area of your life.

“This book answers questions such as:

How do I train my spirit to be in tune with God?
Can I trust my “hunches” or inward intuition?
How much weight should I give personal prophecies?
Can I ask God for a sign?

“The new material includes:

Personal experiences drawn from Brother Hagin’s 70 years of Spirit-led ministry
Traits you can expect to see in your Christian walk as you follow the Holy Spirit
Fascinating reminders of the importance of being Spirit-led in prayer”

HEARTS OF FIRE: Eight Women in the Underground Church and Their Stories of Costly Faith by Voice of the Martyrs

“’Either you marry or you die…If you are a Christian, then there is no place for you in this city…you will die here alone.’ Tara’s Father’s parting words brought only one thought to the mind of the sixteen-year-old girl—she must escape for her life. Beaten to the brink of death, Tara—the daughter of a prominent Pakistani Muslim—was locked in her room as a prisoner without food or medical attention. All because she was caught with a Bible.

“Tara’s story is not unique among these eight courageous women in HEARTS OF FIRE. From the young Vietnamese girl who turns down freedom in order to evangelize the people of her Communist homeland, to the Australian missionary who spreads the message of forgiveness and healing across Indian after her husband and sons are buried alive by village zealots, these women have overcome extreme adversity to emerge as leaders and ministers in the underground church around the world.

“The Voice of the Martyrs, coauthors of the bestsellers JESUS FREAKS and EXTREME DEVOTION, brings you the true stories of courageous women, heroines of the faith, who are representatives of countless women facing similar situations around the world. These role models of faith and passion will inspire you to pursue Christ with heart aflame, no matter what the cost. “

“Women have always been significant in the cause of Christ. HEARTS OF FIRE thrillingly describes the work of eight women whose mission continues to be telling the world that He is risen, and with that resurrection comes love, grace, and forgiveness. Don’t miss it.” ~ Mary Graham, President, Women of Faith

“VOICE OF THE MARTYRS is a nonprofit, interdenominational organization, dedicated to assisting the persecuted church worldwide. VOM was founded in 1967 by Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, who was imprisoned in Communist Romania for fourteen years for his faith in Jesus Christ. Today, VOM spreads the message of the persecuted church and sends help to them through a network of international offices. VOM is located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and can be found arm www.persecution.com.”

SMITH WIGGLESWORTH: A Man Who Walked with God by George Stormont

“A modern day apostle proving the power of God. Smith Wigglesworth was a modern apostle of faith who shook the world with his amazing miracle ministry, but behind the miracles stood a man of character and drive who knew his God. Discover the person of Smith Wigglesworth and this ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life that provided the foundation to launch the new Charismatic revival still sweeping the earth today.

In this intimate portrayal of Smith’s life, author and personal friend George Stormont reveals the spiritual significance of the character Smith displayed and what you can glean from his example. Through taking God’s word literally, Smith proved over and over again that God wants His children to live in victory, above the bondage of sin, poverty and sickness.

Are you ready to fulfill your destiny?

The eternal, Omnipotent, all-wise God made you with His own hands.

Before you were even born He had a dream for your life!

But sometimes it is hard to know what that dream is or how to follow it.

In Live Before You Die, Daniel Kolenda draws from Scripture and his own experiences to help you discover and follow God’s call. With advice that is both practical and inspiring he reveals:

Five secrets to discovering God’s will

How to start moving in the right direction

What to do when God says wait

It’s time to go for it!

The above quote was taken from: https://cfan.org/

Daniel Kolenda

Daniel Kolenda is a radical risk taker for God — not your garden variety weekend warrior type. Daniel has travelled to more than 60 countries, many in extremely dangerous and hostile environments in order to share with people the truth about God and His extravagant love for them.

He presently serves as president of Christ for all Nations, the ministry founded by acclaimed missionary evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. Daniel and Bonnke have travelled and ministered together seeing multiplied millions make decisions to follow Christ! Daniel’s heart is not just to see people come to Christ but to make disciples! He longs to see people experience the fullness God intends for them and to know His voice and see miracles happen as part of their everyday experience. It’s this passion that compelled Daniel to write Live Before You Die.

When he’s not spanning the globe, Daniel hosts an internationally syndicated television program broadcast to 118 nations reaching 55 million homes in North America alone and over 120 million homes in Europe, Western Russia, the Middle East, North Africa, Australia, New Zealand and The Philippines. In addition to hosting some of the largest open-air meetings in the world, the CfaN team had distributed over 190 million books in 104 languages – not bad for a young man who hasn’t even hit 40!

Despite the incredible schedule he keeps, Daniel is still committed to his family. He’s devoted to his lovely wife Rebekah and together they are raising three wonderful children; Elijah, Gloria and London.

EVANGELISM BY FIRE by Reinhard Bonnke

The Gospel is not good news to people who do not hear it

…and an unpreached gospel is no Gospel at all.

In the New Testament we never read about God going forth on His own, but that His followers “went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them.” In short, God acted when they acted.

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke has led millions of people into a life-transforming encounter with God. In Evangelism by Fire he lays out the principles necessary for effective evangelism, showing how God operates through anyone who is willing to follow His plan.

The Gospel is as vital today as it was when Jesus walked the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and nations urgently need the life-giving message of the cross right now. Filled with biblical principles, prophetic messages, and personal examples, Evangelism by Fire will inspire you to bring the focus of your life and ministry back to the Great Commission.

The above quote was taken from: https://www.amazon.com.

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout the continent of Africa. The son of a pastor, Reinhard gave his life to the Lord at the age of nine and heard the call to the African mission field before he was even a teenager. After attending Bible College in Wales, he became a pastor in Germany for seven years and then went on to start mission work in Africa. It was there, in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho, that God placed upon his heart the vision of ‘the continent of Africa, washed in the precious Blood of Jesus’ – an entire continent, from Cape Town to Cairo and from Dakar to Djibouti that needed to be reached and to hear the proclamation of the signs-following Gospel.

He began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he commissioned the construction of the world’s largest mobile structure – a tent capable of seating 34,000 people! Soon, attendance at his meetings even exceeded the capacity of this huge structure, and he began open-air Gospel Campaigns with an initial gathering of over 150,000 people! Since then, he has conducted city-wide meetings across the continent with as many as 1,600,000 people attending a single gathering using towering sound systems that can be heard for miles.

It has now been over thirty years since Reinhard Bonnke founded the international ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), which currently has offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Africa, Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong and South America.

Since the start of the new millennium, through a host of major events in Africa and other parts of the world over 53 million have responded to the Gospel call.

As part of the discipleship-training program, 190 Million copies of his books and booklets have been published in 143 languages and printed in 54 countries. Millions of books have been printed and freely ‘seeded’ in nations around the world. All this is in addition to the ‘Reinhard Bonnke School of Fire,’ an online, and self-study course, aimed at inspiring others to Holy Spirit Evangelism and leading to either a certificate or university credits (Southeastern University Lakeland/Florida). Other soul-winning projects are in development, including one that is aimed at inspiring the next generation of evangelists also to reach the unreached, to further the Kingdom, and to see the Gospel message proclaimed throughout the world.

Reinhard Bonnke is also recognized for hosting ‘Fire Conferences’ in many different countries of the world, events that are aimed at equipping church leaders and workers for evangelism… for distributing over 90,000,000 copies of “From Minus to Plus”, a profound salvation message, to homes around the world and for seeking every opportunity to reach and to save the lost. He is known as one with a burning passion for the Gospel, a vision for Africa and a message for the world.

HEALING THE WOUNDED SOUL: Break Free From the Pain of the Past and Live Again by Katie Souza

“This book is a must have for anyone serious about living a full prosperous life and getting their soul healed! A pure gold mine! Katie has compiled a chronology of all that she has learned about the incredible soul-healing power of God. She gives many examples that she has personally witnessed of healings and lives being changed when people received healing in their souls. This soul-healing revelation came from Katie’s simple question to God, “If Your word is true and You promise we are to live full prosperous and healthy lives, why are so many of us sick, unhappy and incomplete?” Put another way, “Why does the promise in 3 John 1:2 seem out of reach? Is there something we are doing to block the power of God to redeem and heal us?” Have you ever asked these questions yourself? This book tells of Katie’s journey and quest for answers to this very question. Let God build your faith with each revelation on soul healing and allow yourself to experience the miracles that God performs to confirm His Word!”

The above quote was taken from Katie’s website: https://katiesouza.com.

“Katie was a career criminal most of her life, was convicted of a number of felonies and sent to federal prison to serve almost twelve years. While serving what would be her final prison sentence, Katie encountered God in a way that dramatically changed her life. She immediately became an outspoken advocate for Jesus and her infectious love for him caused many women inside her cell block to accept Him as their Savior.”

“It was during this time that Katie began writing her first book, The Captivity Series, The Key To Your Expected End. Since then, she has completed part two in the same series, Healing The Wounded Soul along with her best selling little book, Soul Decrees. Katie has gone into prisons around the world and has ministered to hundreds of thousands of inmates.”

“Her story is a vivid demonstration of the desperate need we have for the healing of soul wounds–the often unidentified impediment that holds us back. Through this remarkable story and teaching, you will be able to find a pathway to healing and receive the blessings God is pouring out.”

PIERCING THE DARKNESS by Frank E. Peretti

“’THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE DARKNESS HAS NOT OVERCOME IT.’ John 1:5 (ESV)

It all begins in Bacon’s Corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate…An attempted murder, a case of mistaken—or is it covered up? —identity, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school. Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burnout, a kind of “leftover hippie,” finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past.

Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, Sally Roe’s journey is a penetrating portrayal of our times, a reflection of our wonderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross. A companion volume to This Present Darkness, readers have purchased over two million copies of Piercing the Darkness since its publication in 1989.”

Above quote taken from the back cover of Frank Peretti’s book Piercing the Darkness.

Frank Edward Peretti is a New York Times best-selling author of Christian fiction, whose novels primarily focus on the supernatural. To date, his works have sold over 15 million copies worldwide, and he is widely credited with reinventing Christian fiction.

THIS PRESENT DARKNESS by Frank E. Peretti

“‘FOR WE DO NOT WRESTLE AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST THE RULERS, AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES, AGAINST THE COSMIC POWERS OVER THIS PRESENT DARKNESS, AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES.’ Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)

Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race.

This Present Darkness rivals The Screwtape Letters with its insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. It is fast-moving, riveting reading, ranking with the best thrillers on the bookshelf. Readers have picked up more than 2.5 million copies since its publication in 1986 and it has sparked great interest in spiritual warfare over the years.”

Above quote taken from the back cover of Frank Peretti’s book This Present Darkness.

LOVE LIKE YOU’VE NEVER BEEN HURT: Hope, Healing and the Power of an Open Heart by Jentezen Franklin with Cherise Franklin

“It’s no secret that those who are closest to us can wound us the most profoundly. Reeling from betrayal, we build walls around our hearts to protect us from the heartache, yet these are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing and feeling loved.

JUST AS I AM – The Autobiography of Billy Graham

“Hailed as ‘the world’s preacher,’ Billy Graham has enjoyed a career that has spanned six decades and his ministry of faith has touched the hearts and souls of millions. ….. Now, in this revised and updated edition, we hear from this ‘lion in winter’ (Time) on his role over the past ten years as America’s pastor during our national crisis of the Oklahoma bombing and 9/11; his knighthood; his passing of the torch to his son, Franklin, to head the organization that bears his name; and his commitment to do the Lord’s work in the years of his and his wife Ruth’s physical decline.”

“In Just As I Am, a #1 New York Times Bestseller, Graham reveals his life story in what the Chicago Tribune calls “a disarmingly honest autobiography.” With down-to-earth warmth and candor, Graham tells the stories of the events and encounters that helped shape his life. He recounts meetings with presidents, celebrities, and world leaders, including Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth, and the Shah of Iran, and shares his own spiritual journey as he movingly reflects on his personal life and relationships. This is an inspirational and unforgettable portrait that will be treasured by readers everywhere.”

“‘An admirable life….For nearly five decades, Graham has, in his crusades around the globe, has given the world what it has often believed to be a glimpse of America…..Graham is characteristically American. But in his openness, his capacity for growth, his alertness and simple geniality, he has also shown the world our best self.’ – LOS ANGELES TIMES.”

“‘Although the highly political anecdotes keep one amused throughout this fame, and the story of Graham’s life itself is so remarkable, underlying regret propels the book with a sadness that is strangely haunting.’ – NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW“

“‘A disarmingly honest autobiography in which Graham stretches out and spins yarn after yarn about growing up in North Carolina just after World War I, barnstorming the country as a red-haired revivalist, touring the world as a senior ambassador for Christianity, and hobnobbing with kings, queens, presidents and the pope along the way.’ – CHICAGO TRIBUNE.”

“‘Events in a single year in the life of Billy, would make ample biographical material for a lesser mortal’s entire life!….This is no doubt the most authentic history of its subject we shall ever get’ – CHRISTIANITY TODAY”

The above quotes were taken from the back cover of JUST AS I AM by Billy Graham.

A LIFE OF FIRE – An Autobiography by Reinhard Bonnke

“Living a Life of Fire, by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, is his amazing life story from war-torn Germany, as a child, to the bush of Africa. It is the story of how this man of God has been used by the Holy Spirit. It tells of how his obedience to God, led him to preach the message of salvation to over 1,600,000 in a single service, in Lagos, Nigeria. As the founder of Christ For All Nations, he has had the privilege of leading over 74 million people to salvation in his Gospel Crusades, since the year 1987. This book is more than simple facts about a preacher’s life. It is filled with adventures from the heart of Africa, real life dramatic stories of people and places that will leave you on the edge of your seat, and powerful demonstrations of the Holy Spirit working in the here and now. Reinhard Bonnke’s life is a model for generations of preachers to come and his life story will inspire Christians everywhere to believe for God’s maximum.”

The above quote was taken from the website of Christ For All Nations, the ministry established by Reinhard Bonnke, from their own write up about this autobiography.

“Evangelist Bonnke began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in 1984, he commissioned the construction of the world’s largest mobile structure — a tent capable of seating 34,000 people! Soon, attendance at his meetings even exceeded the capacity of this huge structure, and he began open-air Gospel Campaigns with an initial gathering of over 150,000 people per service! Since then, he has conducted city-wide meetings across the continent with as many as 1,600,000 people attending a single meeting using towering sound systems that can be heard for miles.”

“It has now been forty-five years since Reinhard Bonnke founded the international ministry of Christ for all Nations (CfaN), which currently has offices in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Nigeria, South Africa, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong.”

“Since 1987, through a host of major events in Africa and other parts of the world, the ministry has recorded more than 77 million documented decisions for Jesus Christ.”

“He is known as one with a burning passion for the Gospel, a vision for Africa and a message for the world.”

JESUS CALLING – Enjoying Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young

“One night I found myself leaving the warmth of our cozy chalet to walk alone in the snowy mountains. I went into a deeply wooded area, feeling vulnerable and awed by cold, moonlit beauty. The air was crisp and dry, piercing to inhale. Suddenly I felt as if a warm mist enveloped me. I became aware of a lovely Presence, and my involuntary response was to whisper, “Sweet Jesus.” This utterance was totally uncharacteristic of me, and I was shocked to hear myself speaking so tenderly to Jesus. As I pondered this brief communication, I realized It was the response of a converted heart; at that moment I knew I belonged to Him. This was far more than the intellectual answers for which I’d been searching. This was a relationship with the Creator of the universe.”

“Increasingly, I wanted to hear what God had to say to me personally on a given day. I decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever I believed He was saying. I felt awkward the first time I tried this, but I received a message. It was short, biblical and appropriate. It addressed topics that were current in my life: trust, fear, and closeness to God.”

“The more difficult my life circumstances, the more I need these encouraging directives from my Creator.”

The quotes above are taken from Sarah Young’s Introduction to her book, JESUS CALLING.

“Sarah and her husband were missionaries in Japan and Australia for many years. They currently live in the United States.”

THERE’S A MIRACLE IN YOUR HOUSE – God’s Solution Starts With What You Have by Tommy Barnett

“If God were always to fix our problems in the way we wanted Him to, the skies would be crowded with the provisions that were floating down right out of heaven. Most of the time God’s miraculous provision for us in our need comes not so much like manna from heaven but in the multiplication of what we already have—fishes and loaves, for example.

When the challenges become overwhelming, God may say something to you like, How many fishes and loaves do you have?

Sometimes the key to miracles is in simply doing what He says even though it goes against conventional wisdom—like casting the net on the other side of the boat.

When you doubt your own power and abilities to do what is required of you, He might ask you, as He did Moses, ‘What is that in your hand?’

The greatest miracle of your life might just begin with something that is already in the house or already in your hand.”

Above excerpt taken from the first chapter of THERE’S A MIRACLE IN YOUR HOUSE by Tommy Barnett.

“This ordinary man has become quite extraordinary and insists that we can all grow far beyond ourselves if we really want to.”

“For us to touch this man’s life is to touch the potential of greatness within ourselves.”

“Tommy Barnett is consumed with advancing the kingdom of Jesus Christ through reaching the helpless, homeless and hurting of our world. He believes in ‘vicarious’ success. That is, he believes all those God permits him to touch can do greater things than he has accomplished. It thrills him to see their success because his single passion is not recognition but that all men might come to know Jesus Christ.”

Last three quotes are by Ron Hembree and taken from the Preface to THERE’S A MIRACLE IN YOUR HOUSE by Tommy Barnett.

“Tommy Barnett pastors Phoenix First Assembly of God, a church that has grown from 250 to more than 10,500 in fourteen years. In high demand as a conference speaker, Barnet has also appeared on ‘The 700 Club,’ TBN’s ‘Praise The Lord’ show and the Focus on the Family radio program. He and his wife, Marja, have three children, Kristie, Luke and Matthew.”

EXTRAORDINARY FAITH – God’s Perfect Gift for Every Woman’s Heart by Sheila Walsh

“THIS IS WHAT IS EXTRAORDINARY ABOUT FAITH: God takes our fragile, flawed human hearts with all our hopes and fears and doubts, and weaves His goodness and strength into us. FAITH IS NOT ABOUT US. IT IS ABOUT GOD IN US.

Sheila Walsh is a popular recording artist, best-selling author, and acclaimed Woman of Faith conference speaker who knows what it’s like to pray the prayers of the desperate. She has learned firsthand the fallacy of thinking that if she just has enough faith, her life would be easy and trouble free. Looking back on her lifetime journey through both shadow and sunlight, Sheila today defines faith as ‘my soul’s fixed, unflinching gaze on Christ, wherever it takes me.’

Extraordinary Faith is Sheila’s gift of simple, straightforward, humor-sprinkled encouragement that says wherever you are in life, whatever circumstances you face, God loves you and will faithfully walk with you through it. No matter what shakes up your world, His everlasting arms are underneath it all.

With wit and wisdom, Sheila points out God’s track record of faithfulness in our lives and in the lives of believers through the generations. She reminds us that extraordinary faith is born in us as we fix our eyes on Jesus and recognize the fingerprints of God all over our lives.”

LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY – A Prayer Classic by Morris Cerullo

“There has never been a greater time in history; from the time when God said, ‘Let there be light’ until now for the necessity of the people of God to learn how to pray, and to pray.

The cry of the Spirit coming from the Throne room of God is a divine, universal call to prayer.

Although we are witnessing the greatest prayer movement in Church history, with millions of Christians being mobilized to pray, never before has there been a greater need for Christians to know how to pray with power, to pray prayers that are beyond ordinary prayer and that are divinely energized and charged by the Holy Spirit.

I am convinced that the normal prayers of Christians are insufficient to provide this world with the spiritual breakthroughs that we must have now.

Something supernatural must occur and begin to take place in our praying that will literally demolish Satan’s strongholds over nations.

Ordinary prayer will not do it!”

Excerpt by Author and Evangelist Dr. Morris Cerullo, President of Morris Cerullo World Evangelism, taken from the Introduction to his book, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY.

We highly recommend this book. It can change common, ordinary prayers into powerful, extra-ordinary prayers. Bringing the supernatural of heaven to earth. Intervening in our lives, our families, our nations, and our world.

~ Evangelist Sherrill McDonald, Founder and President of Noble Women for Christ International Ministries, and Grace Drake, Vice President.
