.gif) The strap line of the Grace Project – “Discover who you really are” – articulates the heart of the first phase of our journey.
As we move into the next phase of life with these initial concepts, which we call birth truths, now embedded our focus is on becoming who we really are.Indeed there is a saying by Ian Thomas which states, “There are two types of people in the world – those who live a life that they don’t have and those who have a life that they don’t live!”
Maybe you have caught yourself thinking from time to time that there must be more to the Christian life than this? The Good News is – There is!

 I wrote this book in order to put the magic back into the Kingdom for all those who went to the Charismatic Disneyland of Evangelical Christianity only to discover that they would never be spiritually tall enough to go on any of the rides. By Paul Anderson-Walsh

The Bonsai Conspiracy definitely belongs in my list of the most influential books I have read. Why? Because it is a book that breeds HOPE, a fresh, vital, living HOPE, of the genuine possibility of developing that life of grace and freedom, which Christ promised his followers and which so many Christians get to talk about but so few of us actually get to live. Much of the Christian literature that I have read, seems to suggest that we can self-improve our way into Heaven.
If only we could teach ourselves to: think in the right way; act towards others in the right way; feel (or completely ignore our feelings!) in the right way, pray and do our devotions in the right way, THEN, if we get it right and do enough of it, God will come and things will be better. In Bonsai, Paul Anderson-Walsh directly counteracts this 'self-improvement' lie. He speaks about self-replacement and NOT self-improvement. What a relief it was to finally hear this truth! He believes that it is only when we have finally exhausted our own resources and effort, and hit “burnout”, that dependence on the False self is destroyed and we can thus truly begin to live according to God's grace and strength. - to buy click here

 “This book will inspire and encourage you. It will indeed cause you to feel safe and sound. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself experiencing an inward sigh of relief as you read. The three phases of Christian maturity discussed in chapters four and five stimulated my mind. My emotions were stirred by a renewed sense of deep joy as I read the extensive description of agape in chapter seven. The tenth chapter is one of the best apologetics for the security of the believer that I have seen. I wish every new Christian would read that chapter within the first month of their new life in Christ.”
Dr. Steve McVey
This book is the first in a trilogy that will take you on a journey into spiritual maturity. This journey is a pilgrimage into wholeness in God and oneness with God. There are three clear phases of the Christian life; the child phase, the teen phase and the father phase. Each phase has its climax the child phase results in confidence in God; in the teen phase we appropriate the competence of God and in the father phase we become the confidants of God. As we journey through each phase you will be drawn into a deeper and more profound level of intimacy with Christ. But it begins with a revelation; the child’s revelation that first and foremost you believe that God is Love and loves you and that and secondly all your sins past, present and future have been forgiven. - to buy click here

An Ontario Outpouring
It’s been the hottest June on record here in Ontario Canada. Hayley and I arrived on Thursday for the weekend’s Made to be Free conference which is being hosted by Grace Walk Canada (GWC) which is run by Mike Zenker. We arrived here with a heightened sense of expectation, having left London where things have been hotting up in the Spirit and having returned home from the church in Finland where we had also seen encouraging evidence of the murmurings of the Spirit.
Ever since I started to teaching consistently into what I call the “teenage phase” of the grace walk we have begun to see and sense his presence in greater measure. I have been contemplating why it is that we are beginning to see evidence. Was it I wondered because we are in the early stages of a charismatic renewal or was it in fact that we are renewed charismatics? I am beginning to realise that it is the latter. At our Bible School, Grace Central Dr. Peter Rowe and I are currently leading our students through a module on the Roots of Pentecostalism which has been really instructive. Without doubt Pentecostalism has a chequered history, one of both glory and shame. However, it is a history that we can learn from and it is a history that we can contribute to by adding more to the glory years if we learn the lessons of the past.
