Dying to Live – Lettie B. Cowman
You must die in order to live. You must refuse to consult your own ease and well-being. You must be crucified, not only in desires and habits which are sinful, but in many more which appear innocent and right.

God’s Most Effective Tool in Our Lives – Charles Stanley
Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

Transformation is a process – David Kinnaman
Most people in America, when they are exposed to the Christian faith, are not being transformed. They take one step into the door, and the journey ends.

Transformation is a process, a journey, not a one-time decision.
