Produktbeschreibung

Walking in the Spirit, in the awareness, the blessing, and the counsel of God is the desire of every earnest Christian. It was no mistake that the desert loomed large in the lives of the prophets of God, who lived for his presence. Jesus also withdrew into the desert, endured the temptations of Satan and came out again empowered by God.
The desert has a way of concentrating the faculties, of making one aware of the overwhelming enormity of God in his omnipotence. The stars loom large and luminous in the night sky. Blazing with the glory of God, far away from city lights and polluted air that would dim their shining, they press down on the soul. They are an illustration of God's greatness and our smallness; our dependency; our isolation from the cosmos.
Little wonder men and women streamed into desert regions to get closer to God, many spending years in contemplation, only to realise finally their obligation to return to the world of men and fulfill the command of Christ to feed, clothe, heal, and teach.
In this busy modern world it has become increasingly hard for Christians to find the time and the isolation to meditate on the things of God. Too many allow themselves to be caught up with the seemingly important, necessary, even urgent tasks of their lives leaving aside the essential, fundamental task of getting to know God intimately.
But if we can discipline ourselves to spend the necessary time we can be constantly aware of God even in the midst of our busy-ness. In the gospels we see Jesus daily drawing aside for communion with his Father so he could say,
I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say (Jn 12:49-50)
We too need to live in this dimension so that we can truly say, 'We are Christians who walk in the Spirit.'
In this book, 'Walking in the Spirit' is examined from many different aspects concluding with teaching on 'The New Man.'

Autorenporträt

The Apostle Paul offers as the key to successful Christian living the instruction "walk in the Spirit".

That may sound simple, yet through the years I have found it requires much of us in faith, character, knowledge and determination. As both a believer and a pastor I have experienced and seen the struggle involved in such a walk. Yet it remains a great key to making our lives in Christ victorious and effective.

Alison Chant brings to her writing on this subject not only her knowledge but also her experience. She is a woman that walks in the Spirit and as such writes from the depth of one who has travelled the path.

Alison is a wife, a mother and minister of God in her own right. She brings to her subject time spent as a local church pastor's wife, a counsellor, Bible College Dean and a leader in God's Kingdom.

Her book is biblical, practical and proven. It is real not simply motivational. Above all it is truth for everyday life.

As you read you will be guided in this walk in the Spirit by one who has gone before and who lives in joyous fellowship of the Spirit of God.

As her pastor and friend I commend Alison for her book and for her everyday example of Walking in the Spirit.
