Summary
BEYOND THE FLESH is a powerful, well-written book that makes the words of the Bible leap off of the pages, and bring you face-to-face with the inspiring reality of how you can live your everyday life in the amazing realm of the Spirit of God. This book will revolutionize your thinking concerning God's plan and purpose for your life and destiny. And it will lead you to begin enjoying the freedom of a deeper intimacy with God. There is a "Life Discussions" guide following each chapter, so that through open dialogue within discussion groups the material is made even more relevant. The author, with striking imagery, explores the WHY regarding God's creation of Man, the temptation and choices which lead to the Fall of man, and, how Christ's Redemption of man has placed us ALL on a new footing toward achieving God's glorious original purpose for having created us. In God's original purpose there is no room for selfishness, hatred, unforgiveness, greed, and other such things that are like them. But if we are to come into the true stature of who we were created to be, then each person that reaches that stature, must first get beyond the life-crushing constraints of their own flesh. Beyond the selfish emotional demands of the flesh is the only way that any person can live a life in the spirit. BEYOND THE FLESH is a book that challenges each of us to get past our hurts, doubts, fears and anger; and just allow God to "Be-In-Charge" of our life, so that we can really come to know true success. This book really drives home the point that: God is 'Invisible', but not 'Absent'! And He desires that we each have a personal relationship with Him. In this regard we truly are...not alone.
