Practical Religion

The Christian life is a battle, but many believers today don't realize their involvement in spiritual warfare.

We live in a leadership paradox: In a time that needs leadership more than ever, people are more reluctant than ever to take on the responsibility of leadership. In addition, the average leader in our churches or faith-based organizations doesn’t necessarily have the time or desire to pore through shelves of leadership material. To Lead: A Practical Guide for Leaders in Churches and Faith-Based Organizations is Joel Milgate’s contribution toward filling that gap.

If you are living under demonic oppression, it’s time to rise up and walk in the supernatural deliverance Jesus purchased for you! Prophet and deliverance minister John Veal has experienced the dark side of the supernatural, firsthand. Even from childhood, he has encountered strange phenomena: attacks from unseen entities, visitations from ghostly apparitions, voices from disembodied spirits, and much more. Skeptics call it superstition, the new age calls it paranormal. It’s time to call it what it really is: spiritual warfare.

Preachers often quote this majestic promise in describing the consummation of history, the restoration of all things at the end of time. But few seek to uncover the passion of God in this promise: he wants us to know his glory, and he wants us to know it here on earth. What on Earth Is Glory? is one man's journey into this desire of God.
