Product Description
by Garth W. Black (Author)
Do you feel overwhelmed with the trials and difficulties of your life? Are love, joy, and peace no longer words that describe your innermost feelings? Do you struggle with self-control? Are there temptations in your life that your own willpower is inadequate to help you make the right choice? Do you often feel that you are "at the end of your rope" and that you can no longer "cope" with daily struggles? As a Christian, there is strength and power available to you through the Holy Spirit to meet the challenges listed above. Why, when, and how I receive this power from God through the Spirit are questions that this book addresses.
Author Biography
Garth Black has been a minister in the Church of Christ for over 60 years. He has served churches in Texas, Oklahoma, New York, Maryland, and California. For the past 37 years he has lived in Bakersfield, California. He has a degree in science from the University of Oklahoma and a master's degree in theology from Abilene Christian University. His master's thesis was titled "The Holy Spirit in the Life of a Christian." The first book he wrote on this topic sold over 30,000 copies, but has been out of print for 20 years. He has presented lectures on this topic (and other topics) at colleges and universities, including Oklahoma Christian University, Abilene Christian University, and Pepperdine University. The currently written work includes material from the first book, but gives a special emphasis to the action of the Holy Spirit as a source of power and strength as He dwells in every Christian.
