Culture Making - Recovering Our...

Andy Crouch

Christianity Today Book Award winner
Publishers Weekly's best books
The only way to change culture is to create culture.
Most of the time, we just consume or copy culture. But that is not enough. We must also do more than condemn or critique it. The only way to change it is to create it.
For too long, Christians have had an insufficient view of culture and have waged misguided "culture wars." But Andy Crouch says we must reclaim the cultural mandate to be the creative cultivators God designed us to be. Culture is what we make of the world, both in making cultural artifacts as well as in making sense of the world around us.
In this expanded edition of his award-winning book Crouch unpacks the complexities of how culture works, the dynamics of cultural change, and tools for cultivating culture. Keen biblical exposition demonstrates that creating culture is central to the whole scriptural narrative, the ministry of Jesus, and the call to the church. With a conversation between Crouch and Tish Harrison Warren as the new afterword, this expanded edition addresses the current landscape and forges a way for the future of culture making. Enter into it with guided questions for reflection and discussion for a deeper experience.

Fresh Oil

Chris Garcia

What if the greatest blessing we could ever receive is the manifested presence and power of God?

After reading this book, I will understand the importance of developing an intimate and personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. As I go deeper with the Lord, I will experience His love and understand His power and authority in an entirely new way.

There is a famine in the church at large; it is a lack of fresh oil in our personal fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The Western mindset is built upon the principles of intellect, philosophy, and reason. These principles are not inherently wrong, but they are a far cry from the passionate, biblical approach to engaging with God. The knowledge of God is so much more than intellect and reason. It is more than a mental understanding; rather, it is a deep, intimate, spiritual knowing and life-union with Christ.

The spiritual affects the natural, and in Fresh Oil, Chris Garcia–a pastor and popular social media minister with over 100,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel–helps believers develop a greater hunger for God's presence and Word and increase their sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.

This book will help readers to…
Stop being led by their flesh and an unrenewed thought life.

Experience a more exciting prayer life and enter a greater level of worship and victory.

Understand their positional reality and the victory that has been offered to them through Christ.

Teaching simple keys to help believers experience a greater awareness of God's presence, this book will help stir readers into deeper communion with the Holy Spirit, producing fresh oil in their lives.
