Additional Info
In the 1960s and early 1970s, when Francis MacNutt first witnessed being “slain in the Spirit,” he didn’t know what to think. Then, amazingly, it started happening in his own healing ministry, where he could determine firsthand its impact on believers. One of the first things MacNutt learned, through extensive research, is that resting in the Spirit (as he prefers to call it) is not new at all: It occurred throughout Church history, including in the Protestant revivals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and over centuries of Catholic tradition, Resting in the Spirit continues today, an extraordinary phenomenon that graces believers with healing and wholeness, Overcome by the Spirit tackles every conceivable question and concern about this issue, including:
* Isn’t it just the power of suggestion?
* Aren’t some people actually pushed over?
* What are the spiritual benefits, if any?
* Doesn’t it lead to vanity and competition among ministers?
* How good can something be that causes division and controversy?
Christians seeking deeper understanding of this phenomenon will find biblically informed wisdom and sensitivity. A special section offers practical advice to those in the healing ministry.

They failed, they sinned, they deceived…and yet each of them had a dramatic comeback and were used of God beyond their richest imagination. The Bible isn’t the only source of “comeback” stories. Life is full of such dramatic turnarounds. Whether it’s a sports team coming from behind to win an upset or a late blooming student who wins the scholarship, or….your life story, God delights in arranging for comebacks.
Like the Biblical and contemporary examples told in The Comeback, your future can include an amazing comeback story. Popular pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Tony Evans offers hope by pointing you to the good news that God loves to use less than perfect people. If you’re less than perfect, you qualify!
“It is definitely not too late for you. God has a purpose, a destiny, and a goal for your life. Don’t go backward on Him now. You’ve come too far. You can’t change your past regardless of how much you may want to. But your past does not have to determine your future.” Dr. Tony Evans

Life Lessons From James
$14.99Add to cartDo your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions? James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn’t impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person’s life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian. In his letter, he boldly deals with practical issues of faith not bound by culture or place. He shows the importance of living a genuine life of faith. His message is bare-knuckled as he encourages, challenges, and confronts, offering practical words and admonitions to live out our faith.
The Life Lessons with Max Lucado series brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson includes an opening reflection, background information, an excerpt of the text (from the New International and New King James versions), exploration questions, inspirational thoughts from Max, and a closing takeaway for further reflection. The Life Lessons series is ideal for use in both a small-group setting or for individual study.
