Book Description
“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Book Description
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the sin that no one talks about is a book born under the anointing and inspiration of the Holy spirit of God. While we walk in the Christian path and follow the footsteps of Christ, we sometimes lost our focus on who God really is. For God is a Spirit, and the people that worship him, should worship him in the Spirit and in truth, for he is truth. Sometimes the focus is lost on seeing God as a Spirit, and it amazes me how Christians give less reverence to the Spirit of God and also how easily a Christian can blaspheme the Holy spirit, whether consciously or unconsciously. At times the focus is placed upon a physical being, but god is not physical, he is a Spirit. It sheds light on how one can improve their relationship with God on a more intimate level. For having a relationship with God is the most desired of all relationship one should pursue or yearns after. This book enlightens one's understanding on the unforgiven sin of blasphemies against the Holy Spirit of God. It explains and expands what that sin is, how to avoid it and lets one knows if they had already committed such a sin, in which place there is not anything that can be done, for God is not slack concerning his word, whatsoever he speak shall come to pass. There is not one jot to be taken out of his word, his promises are yes and amen. This book also encourage Christians on how to grow in their Spiritual walk with God and man, moving from drinking the milk of the word, to eating the meat of the word. For milk is liquid and meat is solid, and remains longer in the body. The word of God have to become solid in our body, soul and spirit. As Christians, we are encouraged to walk circumspectly and uprightly before God, and to live lives that are pure and holy, for such is the desired plan of our God for us.

Book Description
"Some may object to my dogmatic assertions; but I do not apologize for them. Every preacher should believe strongly in his own method; and if I cannot persuade all of the rightness of mine, I can at least stimulate them to think and to consider other possibilities. I can say quite honestly that I would not cross the road to listen to myself preaching, and the preachers whom I have enjoyed most have been very different indeed in their method and style. But my business is not to describe them but to state what I believe to be right, however imperfectly I have put my own precepts into practice. I can only hope that the result will be of some help, and especially to young preachers called to this greatest of all tasks, and especially in these sad and evil times. With many others I pray that 'The Lord of the harvest may thrust forth' many mighty preachers to proclaim 'the unsearchable riches of Christ!'"

Book Description
Every person in the world has felt the influence of the Holy Spirit at one time or another. For some, it’s the conviction of “sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8). For others, it’s the comfort, guidance, and strength He gives. To some, the Spirit is as mysterious and unknowable as a night wind passing through the treetops. To others, He is as close and inviting as a friend across the table. But even those who know the Holy Spirit personally have questions about Him. As Oswald Chambers said, “The Spirit is the first power we practically experience, but the last power we come to understand.” That’s the reason for this book. What gifts does the Spirit give? How can I be filled with the Spirit? Will the Spirit ever leave me? We’ve received all these questions and more since GotQuestions.org was founded in 2002. To find the answers, we opened the Bible, the one book inspired by the Holy Spirit Himself. In searching the Scriptures, we learn of the Spirit’s nature, His work, and His will. May the Holy Spirit use the questions and answers in this volume to increase your awareness of His presence, encourage your heart, and empower your faith.

Book Description
Many Christians have tried to discover their spiritual gifts only to find the process frustrating and complicated. Rarely in our search do we actually ask what should be our central question: What are spiritual gifts? Kenneth Berding believes we have misunderstood spiritual gifts, which has led to a misguided search. His convincing and readable study suggests that the Holy Spirit does not give special abilities (the conventional view), but rather calls us and places us into various ministries to build up and strengthen the body of Christ. - Back cover.
