A Disciple of Christ Vol II - Tuning in Jorn Overby

Publisher Marketing: "A disciple of Christ Vol II - Tuning in" covers in three sections a further developing of your relationship with Jesus Christ as His disciple - walking in love and forgiveness, being led by the Holy Spirit, and the renewing of your mind. The first section describes what the Bible says about love and how you walk in love and forgiveness through practicing the Word. The next section covers how the Holy Spirit mainly leads through the inner witness and ministers through the revelation gifts - always teaching in line with the Word. The last part explains how our mind is the spiritual battleground and the arena where we choose what thoughts and ideas to believe and finalizes this series with some key issues concerning sanctification and discipleship in general.
