For Adults – “Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire: What Happens When God’s Spirit Inhabits the Hearts of His People?” by Jim Cymbala
Available though Amazon – print $12.15, Kindle Edition $8.00
The times are urgent, God is on the move, now is the moment to ask God to ignite His fire in your soul! Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew His people – to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy and lukewarm religion. Cymbala knows the difference firsthand. Thirty-five years ago his own church, the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was a struggling congregation of twenty. Then they began to pray, God began to move. Street-hardened lives by the hundreds were changed by the love of Christ and today they are more than ten thousand strong. The story of what happened to this broken-down church in one of America's toughest neighborhoods points the way to new spiritual vitality in the church and in your own life. “Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire” shows what the Holy Spirit can do when believers get serious about prayer and the gospel. As this compelling book reveals, God moves in life-changing ways when we set aside our own agendas, take Him at his word and listen for His voice.
