Product Description The work of the Holy Spirit in us is a curious thing. In John's gospel, we learn that Jesus acknowledged this mystery during His earthly ministry during His earthly ministry, comparing spiritual birth to physical birth so that we might begin to understand the inward work of God. When God breathes spiritual life into the soul for the first time, the journey toward new birth begins. It is as mysterious as the wind mentioned in John 3:8. Thereafter, we experience a period of spiritual pregnancy in which the Holy Spirit continues to work in our hearts and minds. In practical terms, Stephen E. Smallman further describes this process and that which is common in all authentic conversion experiences--genuine faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Spiritual Birthline testifies to new birth in all kinds of people, in all sorts of circumstances. This book will prove to be a treasure for those with a budding curiosity in God as well as the 'spiritual midwives' who have already experienced new birth and are willing to be used by the Spirit in the lives of others. |

Editorial Review "'Born again' is a common expression that few people understand. In a compelling way Stephen Smallman helps us understand that it is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. This book will prove profitable to all who read it." --Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness "Stephen Smallman's stories of how God brings people to new life in Christ are exhilarating--and his refreshing insights into the process of conversion are also immensely encouraging to anyone who wants to share his or her faith." --Ellen Vaughn, author of Radical Gratitude, The Strand, and, with Chuck Colson, Being the Body, The Body, Kingdoms in Conflict, Gideon's Torch, Against the Night, and other books "Any campus ministry passionate about students' lives being transformed will want this book in the hands of their front-line campus staff. Stephen Smallman has renewed my own biblical understanding of God's prior work in the hearts of 'not yet believers' while inspiring me to embrace my role as a spiritual midwife in the lives of college students." --Bruce Alwood, Southeast Regional Director, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship "Spiritual Birthline transforms that most dangerous journey--one's spiritual pilgrimage--into safe, known territory. By applying a pastor's heart and a willing ear to hundreds of testimonies heard over decades of ministry, Stephen Smallman has distilled the work of God in the soul: 'When God calls, we come.' In place of our too-often cliched born-again narratives, he guides us to a richer understanding that is wonderfully profound and reassuringly practical." --Mindy Belz, editor, World Magazine |
