Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

After 19 years of working with the under-served at the Church Health Center (CHC), we have noticed and defined a characteristic that may be part of a solution to our spiritual hunger. Our patients and staff possess a quality that we call spiritual capital: a deep, abiding sense of faith that exists, despite hardship, tragedy and poverty. Dr. Morris honors all by telling their stories. Dr. Cutts outlines the scientific rationale for how spiritual capital works individuals, then offers tools for implementing these principles. The authors tap into this spiritual wealth, then share that information in an applied fashion. This book will challenge you to think about using your spiritual gifts to heal your body or prevent illness in new ways. You will be given specific tools to try each day, that incorporate different faith traditions and focus on helping you establish the link between spirit and body. All proceeds from book sales will go to support the ministries of the Church Health Center.

This concise book leads the reader to a basic understanding of the ancient art of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, offering specific acupuncture point prescriptions to use with detailed explanations. The book also describes other related healing modalities which are effective for treating this "invisible injury."

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
