He explores the Holy Spirit as part of the Trinity and the Holy Spirit in relationship to the believer. As part of the divine Trinity, the Holy Spirit is one with the Father and the Son and yet has a unique personality and function. \"He who is the breath of God\" also has a special relationship to the believer; He enables the believer to live a Spirit-filled life evidenced by. The fruit and fullness of the Spirit. Lockyer writes, \"A deficient study of the third Person of the Trinity has resulted in dryness of spiritual experience.\" This book offers a solution. Lockyer's careful study is coupled with a warm pastoral approach, making this book food for the mind and heart.\n\nPublished in: Peabody, Mass.\n\nPhysical description: 246 pages ; 24 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Behind the masks : personality disorders in religious behavior \/ Wayne E.

The authors term this model \"giftive mission,\" since it is based on the metaphor of a free gift. They suggest that seeing mission activity as giving the greatest gift possible-- the gospel message-- not only has the potential for greater missionary success but also enables us to imitate more closely God's gracious activity in the world - from back of the book.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 407 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"Conversational evangelism \/ David Geisler, Norman Geisler.","author":"Geisler, D.; Geisler, N.","isbn":"0736950834","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Harvest House Publishers"},"datePublished":"2009","inLanguage":"English","description":"Contents: \tThe need for pre-evangelism in a postmodern world -- Introduction to conversational evangelism -- Learning the role of the musician -- Learning the role of the artist -- Learning the role of the archaeologist -- Learning the role of the builder -- The art of answering objections while moving forward -- The art of asking questions of people with different worldviews -- Countering common misconceptions that affect evangelism.\r\n\r\nAbstract:  \"As our culture's awareness of basic Christian principles has changed, so have the needs of pre-believers.

The author then explores the latest research into life's trajectories and culls the lessons we must learn in order to provide avenues through which turning point experiences and second-chance opportunities can occur - to change the odds, so to speak, for individuals who were dealt a poor hand. On Playing a Poor Hand Well focuses on how people overcome different adversities - not simply on the effects these stresses had on their lives. This book will enable disadvantaged individuals and their families to validate the pain they've endured and to celebrate their resilience.\n\nPublished in: NEWYORK\n\nPhysical description: xvii, 187 pages ; 22 cm","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}}]}
