“He [Benaiah] also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day” (II Samuel 23: 20). The account in Scripture is brief. Only one sentence is used to depict the powerful demonstration of courage displayed, and yet it is the type of story out of which legends are formed. Benaiah, one of David’s mighty men, chose to battle the fiercest of foes on the most extraordinary of battlefields—in a pit on a snowy day. It begs the question why? What would possess someone to go toe-to-toe with the likes of a lion?

For some people “Pentecostal” is a new word. Although it has become much more common in recent years, its roots go back to an ancient Jewish feast and, more recently, to the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the earliest Christian believers. Because this initial outpouring of the Spirit took place on the Day of Pentecost, those who experience a similar infilling of the Spirit are known as Pentecostals. They look to the book of Acts as a guide for how to live out their Christian faith.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Thus begins the famous words of Jesus known as the Beatitudes. There are eight such sayings, each beginning with the words, “Blessed are.” Each one of these beatitudes taught everyone in the first century (and still teaches everyone in the twenty-first century) how to be blessed. They might be mistaken for a shopping list for the soul, just a list of eight virtues to pick up before we leave the store. But they’re not. They’re inseparably interwoven.

If you care about the church, believe in apostolic ministry—following the apostles’ example—and want to experience the book of Acts in the 21st century, this book is for you. Everyone needs a team.

Does God stare down at us in unyielding disapproval? No, says author Robert Henderson. God's gaze toward us is one of kindness and love.

Always keying in on Scripture, global apostolic leader Robert Henderson shows how accessible the grace of God really is.

Sometimes, it feels as if we are in a constant state of go. We are busy. And while some wear their busyness as a badge of honor, it often exacts a high price. Maintaining a balanced rhythm in life is more than filling a calendar with activities. Rhythm isn’t about doing more things; rhythm is about doing the right things.

Providing memorable portraits of charismatic leaders Brian and Bobbie Houston, this is a powerful, personal, and at times very funny exploration of an all-singing, all-swaying mega church. The church is more than a faith—it’s a brand. And one fraught with scandal.

Someone once said, "Salvation is free, but it isn't cheap." In fact, it cost Jesus His life, and it will cost you yours. The strongest hindrance to the move of God in the lives of His people is that we have not died to the flesh. That fact has destroyed countless marriages and homes, and threatened many others. It has caused ministries to crumble, churches to close their doors and filled more altar calls than any demonic onslaught against the church.
