Books
When God Transforms the Desert -
the amazing story of the transformation of a small town in the Brazilian desert. Written from 25 hours. of personal interviews with those involved.
When God Transforms Paradise -
The story of God's transforming power in seven villages in the island nation of Fiji. I spent three weeks in Fiji doing these interviews.
Walking Through the Land of Firsts -
A book about going through the grief of losing
a loved one. My personal journey through the "Land of Firsts" (this is not yet available on our bookstore website, but we hope to add it soon)
Characteristics of Revival - The heart of Jesus for His Church
This is a study of the letters of Jesus to the seven churches in Revelation 1 - 3, and how they reveal to us the heart of Jesus for a
revived and dynamic church. This is new in the bookstore, but I have been teaching this since the Lord revealed it to me almost 30 years ago.
Prayer Guides
We now can publish for your use four of our past most popular Prayer Guides.
https://books.by/your-servant-in-christ-ministries
* Transformation - Inviting God's Presence -
* Heal My Land -
* Seeking The Face of God -
* Come, Lord Jesus -
* Year of Sowing -
These Prayer Guides have been used by prayer leaders in a number of cities to help lead God people into a hunger for God's Transforming Presence. They are one year long journeys, but many people gobble them up much faster. We now have these available for you through our new bookstore!

Church Discovery Guide
This Church Discovery Guide is most effective when completed by a group of church leaders
in a leadership retreat or similar context of extended time spent together. Within that context, it is crucial that prayer calls forth
the work of the Holy Spirit to reveal what
needs to be known in order to chart the
future growth of prayer in the church.
Walking through these questions, sharing answers, and then praying together will help clarify your present situation, as well as give insight into future steps.
This is in PDF format and can be purchased
for $5.00.
Contact me for more information.
Culture of Prayer
One of the basic tenents of our understanding
of the place of prayer in the local church is having a "Culture of Prayer". We have
produced a teaching on Developing a Culture
of Prayer in the church. If you are interested
in learning more, or how we can help teach
your church, contact us.
Study Guides /Small Group Studies
I have produced two study Guides that can be used individually or with a small group.
The Meekness of Wisdom -
This is based on the text of James 3:13,
"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by their deeds done in humility [meekness] that comes from wisdom."
There is also a Leaders Guide for this study if you want to do it in a small group.
This is also available in Portuguese.
Sanctification - Becoming Like Christ in Everyday Life -
This study really deals with the lack of hunger for holines and sanctification in the church today, dealing with reasons why, cultural influences and the importance of sanctification as we look toward the coming of the Lord
Jesus, our Bridegroom.
This also comes with a leaders guide for small group use.
This is also available in Portuguese.
