Why Good People Mess UpBy John Loren Sandford Why do good people fall into immorality? This book describes powerful, unseen forces that drive some Christians into adultery, fornication, homosexuality, incest, and other sexual sins. It includes practical guidelines and understanding for everyone involved—help and hope for the believer who wants to stand in the face of overwhelming sexual compulsions, and forgiveness and knowledge for one who has been hurt by leaders who have fallen. About the AuthorJOHN LOREN SANDFORD graduated from theological seminary with an M. Div. in religion. He pastored churches for twenty-one years before founding Elijah House.

Sin and forgiveness are not exciting or happy issues to think about, and most people try to avoid dealing with them whenever possible. The Sandfords explain how forgiveness is the antidote to sin and a crucial and pivotal element to spiritual and personal growth.

This foundational book will equip each believer with the basic steps to a life-transforming, deeper intimacy with the Father. Transforming the Inner Man introduces the keys that reach to the depth of the heart with the power of the cross and resurrection to effect lasting change through continual death and rebirth. John and Paula Sandford take a no-nonsense approach to Christian living. A few of their chapter titles are as follows: ¿ Sanctification and Transformation ¿ Performance Orientation ¿ The Central Power and Necessity of Forgiveness ¿ The Role of a Christian Counselor ¿ Bitter-Root Judgment and Expectancy ¿ Generational Sin In this thought-provoking and sensitive message, the Sandfords challenge every believer to focus on change from the inside out. A change that will last.

Teaches the Body of Christ how to break Satan's hold on lands and peoples.

Twenty-five years after the release of his ground-breaking book The Elijah Task, co-authored with his wife, Paula, a sequel comes from the powerful pen of John Sandford. In Elijah Among Us, he outlines a biblically rooted discussion of prophetic history and functioning, both how to instruct prophets and commission their office and how to inform the church about prophetic ministry. Sandford wrote this follow-up book because he sees a strong and even dangerous overemphasis in the church on the "giving of personal words," which is only one role of the prophetic office. The first section of this book develops a history of the prophetic office, how the office metamorphosed from one of warning into proclaiming God's gentle and merciful side, and becoming burden-bearers. Second, Sandford sets forth the working functions of prophets, explaining how they serve in twelve major roles, including bringing blessings, healing, warning of impending judgment, giving protection from tragedies, and offering direction, guidance, or confirmation. Readers will gain crucial knowledge of a widely misunderstood topic, helping them be discerning in these strategic end times. Authoritative and compelling, Elijah Among Us is a timely and vital work for the Body of Christ.
