Jesus Driven Ministry 3 reviews Ajith Fernando

Inspiring study of the Gospel of Mark.

Convergence: Spiritual Journeys of a Charismatic Calvinist 4 reviews Sam Storms
Enjoying God Ministries, 2005
An Intolerable Rift
+ Not his best, but worth reading + Convergence: A great book from a Christ loving Calvinist
I wrote a commentary about two years ago, posted below, when I believed I was the only Christian in the world thinking along the lines of Charismatic Calvinism. This past summer I learned that not only am I not the only Charismatic Calvinist, but that the movement started over twenty years ago. I ...

Sola Scriptura and the Revelatory Gifts Don Codling
Sentinel Press, 2005
Can we expect spiritual gifts to be operative in the church today as they were in the New Testament, or has God changed the way He relates to His church and through His church to the world? This is no peripheral issue, but it strikes at the heart of our ability to fulfill the commission Jesus Christ has given His church to attack the very gates of Hell by discipling the nations. If the ...

This was my introduction to Sam Storm's writing, and is by far my favorite book on the gifts of the Spirit. Charismatic, not excessive, and Scriptural, I was both challenged and built up by reading it. Since I have read "Pleasures Evermore", and have found it to be equally good. Storms has here ...

". . . And the Glory of the Lord Filled the Temple"--The Holy Spirit Alive in His Church Robert Andrews
Sentinel Press, 2006
When the Holy Spirit is not ignored today, He is invariably the subject of much controversy. Christianity is an experience with the living God through the Holy Spirit, based on the authoritative Word of God--with both experiential and objective aspects. We tend to emphasize one at the expence of the other. In this Robert attempts to capture both emphases, a necessity if we are to "worship Him in ...

Charisma Vs. Charismania 3 reviews Chuck Smith
Word for Today, 1993
A third view
+ ~Balance~ + Take the wise words from Chuck, Sr. , he is a man of God
There are two very common beliefs among Christians in regards to the sign gifts. One view is that they have ceased. The other view is that the gifts have continued on to the present day, and that every believer can receive the gift of tongues simply by asking in faith. Pastor Chuck Smith grew up in ...
