Lakeea Kelly has just released a new book. It’s called TransHERmation: How God Can Take Everything You’ve Been Through and Transform You for His Glory! I caught up with Lakeea recently to interview on her new book. Enjoy! There has been a plethora of books written on spiritual transformation. In that light, what provoked you to write your book? Since I was a little girl, I had the desire to write a book.  As I grew up, I continued my... Read more

A Word About Political Elections

Last updated on: November 5, 2024 at 9:36 am   By Frank Viola

0 Comments

In every presidential election, those who cheer for a particular candidate feel like it’s closed curtains for the free world when their candidate loses. Those on the winning side feel the opposite. Laying that aside, in virtually every election, countless Christians engage in the same level of anger, vitriolic rhetoric, and political smackdowns in which the unbelieving world engages. There is little difference except for the words “Jesus” or “God” peppered in. To both mourning Christians and celebrating Christians, I... Read more

Traveling with an Older Worker

Last updated on: October 29, 2024 at 7:10 am   By Frank Viola

0 Comments

In a number of my books and articles, for example 48 Laws of Spiritual Power, I’ve talked about the principle of younger workers being trained by older workers. With that in mind, I always like taking a younger brother in the Lord on my trips where I speak – especially, when Mrs. V. isn’t able to join me. If you’re a young pastor or person called to the Lord’s work, and you’ve been captured and electrified by the messages (see... Read more

A Personal Word

Recently, I shared these words to a friend in an email and felt impressed to share it here. I hope you find them of encouragement. “You aren’t alone, and I’m thankful that your eyes are fixed on the only One who matters. Our triumph is found in pain, our victory in failure. So long as we hold Him as our supreme treasure in life, we’ll discover the sublime within the malign. And that too is a grace from God.” Some... Read more

“The ministry is that which the Holy Spirit enables you to do in any sphere and occupation to which the Lord leads you.” ~ T. Austin-Sparks The above quote echoes what I wrote in 48 Laws of Spiritual Power, which is, every Christian is in ministry. Whether you’re cooking meals, operating machinery, building structures, or working in any field, you have the opportunity to honor God through your actions and attitude. If you are doing it for His glory, then... Read more

C. Kavin Rowe has released a new book entitled Studies in Luke, Acts, and Paul. The book contains some of his best articles on various aspects of the New Testament.

Jesus and Divine Christology is a new book by Brant Pitre. This is a hefty book that is worth a look if you are wondering how Jesus viewed Himself. It was so solid that I cite it in my upcoming book The Untold Story of the New Testament Church: Revised and Expanded (due out spring 2025). Here’s an accurate description. Did Jesus consider himself divine, or was that a label his followers pinned on him after his death? According to... Read more
