  What is the essence of charismatic Christianity, a renewal movement that stresses the Holy Spirit's work, the church's use of spiritual gifts, and the significance of the supernatural? Helen Collins gives a novel summary explanation drawn from the spiritual gifts. Through Scripture and doctrinal reflection, she shows that charismatic spirituality is a coherent, reasonable, and rich tradition with much to offer.  
   
  Collins demonstrates how practicing spiritual gifts embodies a distinctive theology, making these practices carriers of doctrine. Using the Acts 2 narrative, she summarizes seven key emphases and associated practices: expectancy (prophecy), enchantment (miracles), encounter (healing), expression (testimony), equality (tongues), empowerment (evangelism), and enjoyment (worship). The result is a fresh introduction that is biblical, theologically robust, and practical, helping charismatic students to learn more about themselves and others to understand the movement and what it has to contribute to global theological discussions.

  Every one of us has broken places inside. Places in our souls where the dust gathers or the wind whistles through. Every one of us needs restoration. Photographer and portrait artist Meshali Mitchell is no different. Though, in her case, she also had a farmhouse to restore to its former glory. 
   
   
   
  In this book Meshali shares the inspiring story of how the Lord drew her out from behind the camera to embark on an unlikely home renovation in the midst of her own difficult journey to healing. As she handed God the keys to every room in her heart, Meshali learned lessons of patience, perseverance, and self-forgiveness that paralleled the physical restoration of the building around her. With lyrical prose steeped in Scripture and practical tools, she shows you how to apply those same discoveries to your own life as you ask God to heal, restore, and empower you to live abundantly.

  From the moment Glen Russell stepped onto the campus of Winton College, one of the nation’s most prestigious Historically Black Colleges, not a single thing has gone right. From rain on move-in day, to the should’ve-predicted-it-but-somehow-didn’t tardiness of his best friend and ride to Winton, Reshard, to multiple uses of “Gilbert,” his real (and very much hated) first name, Glen’s first day at college is nothing like he planned. To top it all off, a computer glitch forces him into a dorm room with an unexpected pair of roommates for the entire semester— 
  Braylon Davis - along with keeping his weight in check, he can’t wait to get involved with a campus ministry and use his musical talents to impact Winton students for Jesus.  
  Grayson Stewart - a first-Gen college student determined to make his mother proud, while also hooking up with as many little “shawties” as possible. (“Mama ain’t got to know about that part!”) 
  The three couldn’t be more dissimilar. One is fighting to put an end to his hidden virginity, while one proudly wears his own as a badge of honor. And the third…well, his enviable exploits might get him killed! As the scholastic and social expectations of college begin to collide, the three handle things differently, making choices that ultimately lead to powerful, life-altering consequences.  
  “An excellent and entertaining story…that will undoubtedly leave a mark on anyone who cracks open these pages.” Without preaching or finger pointing, Exactly How It’s `Posed to Be challenges today’s “do whatever feels good” lifestyle of casual, uncommitted sexual hook ups with God’s plan to wait until marriage for sex and experience the true peace, joy, commitment, and love He intended.
