Power of YieldingWheatmark, Inc., 2016 M06 6 - 260 páginas For a Christian Scientist to be born again in the way Patricia Hofer was would probably require nothing less than a visit from the Lord himself. And that is what happened. Raised in the belief that Christianity was a healing science, imagine her wonder when she smashed headlong into its deepest mysticism. Since that remarkable day, Hofer has read widely, searching for similar spiritual awakenings in the lives of other Christians. Her narrative includes some of this research, but, more than that, it becomes a mental pilgrimage, where she peels back the layers of a personal relationship with the Lord that has warmed her heart for almost twenty years. If you are a serious Christian who needs to discover again the power and the simplicity of Christ or a thinking person who wants to deepen your spiritual view of the world, you will find your journey through these pages rewarding and helpful. |
