Bøger af Gary Ward

Gary Ward taught high school biology for eighteen years and was a seasonal ranger-naturalist for the National Park Service during the summers for most of those years. Then he received a call into full-time ministry and was pastor of the Living Word Church in Manhattan, Kansas, for thirty-four years. During that time, he wrote several books and booklets as follows: Books: Living Free from the Shackles that Bind Faith that Moves Mountains: Developing Unwavering Faith Responding to the Call Booklets: Victory over Rulers of Darkness Signs and Wonders Gifts of the Holy Spirit Victory over Stress and Disease Healing Gary has become known for the clear and simple way he preaches the Word of God. He always encourages people to apply the Word to their lives and see it manifested as they apply their faith to what God has said. In doing so, many signs and wonders have accompanied the ministry to which Gary was called. Recently, he passed the baton as pastor of the church he loved and cared for, and he now has a passion for helping other churches expand the borders of their expectation. He is fully convinced that no matter how many great experiences you have had with the Lord, He has much more for all of us. This book is designed with that very purpose: to encourage both individual Christ followers and their churches to press on and to keep earnestly desiring and pursuing all God has for them. His prayer for the reader of this book is that you will be encouraged to seek the Lord in His fullness and be more and more able to participate in His wondrous works. He has so much more for all of us, and it will all be for His glory!

Western Christianity has tried to interpret the Bible through its own lenses. The problem is that it was written from a Jewish perspective, a completely different mindset and culture. When we apply just a little of the Jewish perspective, we find the scriptures open up into a refreshing new dimension that brings it to life. In Taken for a Bride the connectedness of the Bible is celebrated. Starting with the Tranfiguration, Gary takes us on a journey through the Old and New Testament to observe the patterns and intentional correlation. The promised Messiah is trumpeted through seemingly random characters and events as we finally find out what Elijahs exit was really about. Gary doesnt hold back exploring core biblical themes and even suggests the Passover feast to outlay the history of Gods saving plan! Having read this book you will be in no doubt that the bible is other than in how the Holy Spirit has designed its archetecture. Allow your jaw to drop as Joshua, Elisha and Jesus are shown to be connected... then... you are also in that context! Gary hasnt intended to deliver an adrenelin shot for mission activities. Rather, he has clearly laid out the purpose and plan in your life being taken out of this world as Jesus bride. You have been Taken for a Bride, maybe you just dont know it yet!
