Book Description
This book - The Power and the Mystery of God's Word, is powerfully inspired by the Holy Spirit. The writer, Pastor Alex Koech, did an in-depth research on the meaning of the Word of God, the position of the Word in a believer's life and what the Word can do in an individual's life. The people in the earthly days of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ pressed to hear the Word (Luke 5:1-2). They understood the position of God's Word in one's life. The writer of this book has explained in depth the creative power of God, a mystery by which God Almighty created things that are seen from the unseen. There is no doubt that Alex Koech was inspired by God to write this great book which dealt extensively on the ability to resist sin if one is loaded with the Word of God. The author has elaborated that the Bible is inspired by God and is the only source of divine knowledge and power that transforms, enlightens, builds, sustains and guides a believer in all matters of faith. Note these significant truths in the Scripture. The Bible is the source of: Truth: "Sanctify them by Your truth; Your word is truth" (John 17:17).God's blessings: "But He said, 'More than that, blessed are those who hear the word ofGod and keep it!" (Luke 11:28).Victory: ..". the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:17).Growth: "as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:2).Power & salvation: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek"(Romans 1:16).Guidance: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105)Life & health: "My son, give attention to my Words; incline your ear to my sayings, Do not let them depart from your eyes; For they are life to those who find them, And health to whole their flesh" (Proverbs 4:20-22)Wisdom & understanding: "The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple" (Psalm 119:130).Sustenance: "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word..." (Hebrews 1:3)Sanctification: "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you"(John 15:3).Faith: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Romans10:17).Healing & deliverance: "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20).Creation: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" (Hebrews11:3).Divine bread: "It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:3-4).Revival: "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul" (19:7). He has also elaborated that we can receive wealth of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and get healing for the body, soul and spirit, all as a result of the Power of God's Word in a man's life. There is no doubt that this is one of the best books in its category. This book is a must read for every believer. This book is recommended for Pastors, Evangelists, Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, and leaders of churches and every believer who want to grow in knowledge of the word of God. It should be a study guide or a reference material for Bible Studies, Bible Schools & Seminaries, and a leadership training manual for church leaders and church workers.

Speak the words that make hell tremble! There are timeless words, straight from the Scripture, that - when spoken and applied - paralyze the devil and cause accelerated supernatural shift.

Book Description
In this volume, a thoroughly revised and expanded version of The Mystery of God's Word, Father Raniero Cantalamessa engages the profound idea of the Eternal Word that becomes Life. The main and constant focus of the book is to show how the word of God illuminates and engages our existence. Cantalamessa uses the words of Scripture, particularly those of Jesus, to reflect on the meaning of a God who speaks, a God who is in relationship with humanity. By encountering these words in prayer and liturgy, we are invited to allow them into our minds and hearts so that we may be bearers of the word of God in the world. Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, taught the history of Christian origins at the Catholic University of Milan and served on the International Theological Commission. He devotes his ministry to preaching and writing, and since 1980 he has been the Preacher to the Papal Household. Cantalamessa is author of Come, Creator Spirit; Mary: Mirror of the Church; The Eucharist: Our Sanctification; Easter: Meditations on the Resurrection; The Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus; The Mystery of Easter; The Mystery of Pentecost; and Life in Christ (al published by Liturgical Press).
Author: Eberhard Jüngel Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing ISBN: 0567659836 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 441
Book Description
Jüngel sets out to establish a basis for a theology of God the crucified while avoiding the shoals of theism and atheism. He warns of the danger, rooted in the fact that modernity no longer dares to think God, of talking God to death, of silencing God with too much God-talk. Jüngel analyzes what our possibilities are of thinking and speaking God and concludes that theology has to become the narrative of God's humanity. This second book in the series helps the reader to gain a more explicit awareness of the contemporary issues Jüngel's theology grapples with.

Book Description
Two thousand years ago, the disciple John wrote in his Gospel that Jesus had many "dark sayings," teachings with hidden meanings. Author John Van Auken has made a study of these hidden teachings and, along with the fascinating insights of American mystic Edgar Cayce, he has written a surprising book that reaches beyond Christianity to a new, more universal Christ. This intriguing book explains things like serpent power, maps of heaven, the nature of the soul, and the dynamics of spiritual rebirth. His ability to integrate Jesus' teachings with concepts from other religions and philosophies is remarkable and makes the book a rich, rewarding read.

Book Description
How can I know God if he is incomprehensible? Is it possible to know God in a way that takes seriously the fact that he is beyond knowledge? Steven Boyer and Christopher Hall argue that the "mystery of God" has a rightful place in theological discourse. They contend that considering divine incomprehensibility invites reverence and humility in our thinking and living as Christians and clarifies a variety of theological topics. The authors begin by investigating the biblical, historical, and practical foundations for understanding the mystery of God. They then spell out its implications for theological issues and practices such as the incarnation, salvation, and prayer, rooting knowledge of God in a concrete life of faith. Evangelical yet ecumenical, this book will appeal to theology students, pastors, church leaders, and all who want intellectual and practical guidance for knowing the unknowable God.

Book Description
God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. In God Has a Name, John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including: Why do we feel this gap between us and God? Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him? What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires? What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, the act of learning who God is just might surprise you--and change everything.
