A desperate desire for newness of life and a true heart-oneness with God. These are the basic motives which involuntarily boil to the surface in the clarity of our conversion moment - that moment when we fully embrace the Lordship of Christ. Indeed, these desires are actually the birthmark of the redeemed.
And, the effect of this thorough life renewal does, indeed, come to us in very real terms. We know it first in the form of a liberating forgiveness through the Dying Christ. And then, we start to experience it as a daily sustaining by the sufficiency of the Living Christ. And, the God-designed process which brings the believer to this Christ-enabled newness of life is truly breathtaking in both its effectiveness and its scope.
So, the simple purpose of Spiritual Dynamics, is to keenly explore, using plain language and modern frames of reference, this authentic redemptive process which leaves us brand new in our character and in our lifestyle realities.
This wondrous, Christ guided and empowered redemptive experience absolutely liberates, not only our soul from the clutches of the Darkness, but also our days from our own disabling brokenness. This has ever been God's redemptive end-game: the better restoration of a Christ-sustained, mutually gratifying God/man friendship which was lost so long ago to the treachery of the Darkness.
The Emotional Context:
Spiritual Dynamics is not at all harsh - far from it. But it is honest, frank, and accurate.
So, for one who prefers to simply be emotionally stroked or live comfortably in an echo chamber of unchallenged religious shallowness - Spiritual Dynamics would seem threatening. But, for one who is interested in a clear and compelling explanation of how their faith actually does transform them - an explanation which doesn't leave huge gaps in the reader's comprehension - then, in fact, this book will not disappoint.
And, I would also like the prospective reader to know that my life's purpose is not to sell books for profit. It is to serve accurate redemptive truth. Spiritual Dynamics was written to bless the reader, not the writer. The simple "fire in my bones" is merely to present authentic redemptive truth in easily understood terms to these present, often misleading times. This book is merely the product of that fire.
Spiritual Dynamics is a clear explanation, in plain language, of this bi-dimensional reality in which we all exist - and too often, hardly comprehend. But given the seriousness of this subject matter, you will probably be surprised by the tone of Spiritual Dynamics.
It is not written in a heavy theological brogue. Nor does it read like a doctoral thesis. And, it does not employ an oppressive, “thou shalt” overtone.
Rather, this book is very purposely written in a more everyday language and a fairly light inflection to facilitate a more relaxed flow of its vital and valuable insights. And, regarding those insights, Spiritual Dynamics is truly a fresh step forward as an expose' of God’s thoroughly life-renewing redemptive process.
Indeed, this book has a tremendous capacity to broaden the reader’s practical understanding of the full scope of the glorious thing which God is really up to in Christ. SD is truly a stimulating personal or group study text if you're looking for a full and accurate awareness of that more ethereal reality which surrounds and impacts us daily.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” It is a simple and biblical concept. And, Spiritual Dynamics shows the reader precisely how, through both the Dying and the Living Christ, to correctly and fully engage this idea. And, in so doing, it enables the reader to experience the sheer joy of an intimate, empowering, and mutually fulfilling divine friendship with God every single day.
Obviously, wrong roads lead to wrong places. But Spiritual Dynamics is like a literary GPS serving but one simple command input - this command, “Take me safely home to an intimate friendship with God and a true and durable newness of life.”
