Bill Johnson guides you through the book that transformed his healing ministry.The Gospels are full of stories of supernatural healing-sight restored to the blind, the lame made to walk, and the dead raised to life. We wonder why these types of miracles aren't more prevalent in our own lives. Is it our lack of faith? Do we just need to try harder, believe more? But these questions imply that these miracles are born out of our own efforts.This isn't how faith works. As Bill Johnson says in the introduction to this special edition, "Faith is not about striving; it is about surrender."In this unique book, Bill Johnson guides you through the work that has most influenced his own healing ministry: The Real Faith, written by Dr. Charles Price in 1940. Containing an introduction, guided notes, and questions by Pastor Bill to enrich your reading, this timeless classic by one of the great "generals" of the faith offers proven wisdom for your journey in healing ministry.In The Real Faith, Charles Price and Bill Johnson will invite you to think differently about faith-and therefore, healing miracles. Faith is:A gift from God, given to usA product of our total surrender to HimAn invitation to know God deeplyBorn out of intimacy with GodAn ongoing discovery with GodFor Charles Price and Bill Johnson, supernatural healing is a byproduct of deep, abiding intimacy with God. As you read Dr. Price's ageless words and Pastor Bill's remarkable insights, you'll begin to understand that the miracles we long for are not about our own efforts, they're a product of real faith. That is, faith given to us by Him.
Engage with God's undying heart for beauty.¿¿While we all live in the tension between everyday life and the high artistry of God, the Church doesn't often acknowledge this inward tension. Those of us who connect most deeply with God through beauty, creativity, and pure expression can therefore struggle to feel a true sense of belonging in the greater body of believers.But the truth is, when we engage in different forms of artistic expression-literature, painting, film, music, poetry-we grow in our understanding of the breadth, joy, and boundless creativity of our Creator.Bordering Kingdoms, a compilation of essays chosen by the founder of Ekstasis, Conor Sweetman, is for those who often feel unseen or unknown in the Body of Christ. Through this work's intimate invitations into art, poetry, writing, and the considered life, these readers will be propelled deeper into their own creative process alongside God.In this collection, the reader will be encouraged to experience God's:High artistryCreativityPassion for beautyJoyful engagementHeart for creationBordering Kingdoms will lead you into that mysterious borderland between this world and the Kingdom of Heaven, a place where we experience the peace and joy of God's artistic heart, a place where we are invited to explore the journey of our own God-given creativity.
