Summary
A reformation is taking place in the Christian church. People are seeking to experience God and make Him part of their lives. The institutions are no longer speaking the language of the people and helping them make that connection. So most churches are declining in membership, and a few are revitalizing their worship to speak the language of the people and enhance the seeker’s God experience. One of the leaders of this movement is the author Richard P. Matthews, who has brought story back to the people. Jesus communicated his message through the telling of secular stories, often called parables. This was intentional. He wanted to give people more than theology, the knowledge of God. He wanted everyone to experience the Good News. He wanted them to experience God and His kingdom. Matthews brings that living experience to us again in STORIES FOR YOUR SPIRIT, VOLUME I. In STORIES FOR YOUR SPIRIT, VOLUME I, you will meet Dr. Pierre LeBlanc, MD who struggles to survive his helicopter crash in the mountain wilderness. You will meet Lee Richmond, the beautiful girl next door, an actress nearly consumed by the Hollywood jungle. Through the characters in these stories, you will personally experience the Spirit transforming their lives. STORIES FOR YOUR SPIRIT is an exciting collection of short stories written to stimulate the soul, engage the imagination, and touch the heart. The stories, which are written in the timeless tradition of oral storytelling, are wonderful when shared with others or in moments of quite reflection. STORIES FOR YOUR SPIRIT allows you to connect with the action, making it feel real and letting you experience the characters as they leap off the page. Don't miss out on this compelling journey as you connect to these wonderful characters and your own indomitable spirit.
