Take the Stairs: How to Get Up When Things Are Getting You Down - Paperback

by John Kristensen (Author)

John and his wife, Janet, pastor Elim City Church in Peterborough, Ontario. Both enjoy a rich spiritual heritage in the Welsh revival. Their ministry passion is to see people transformed and to engage the church in active partnership with the Holy Spirit. Moving from a secular career, John has served in full-time ministry for thirty-two years with a wide range of experiences from pastoral challenges. He served as President of the Apostolic Church in Canada for a decade. John has organized and speaks at various national and international conferences and has been actively involved in missions, most recently in Haiti. The supernatural should come naturally for a believer in Jesus Christ. Take the Stairs finds the set of practical steps that we can take to engage God's power that He directs toward us. The book draws from the timeless principles in the fifteen "songs of ascent" found in the Psalms. They form a stairway that will raise us out of spiritual oppression, crushing despair, and difficult circumstances that are often a part of the harsh realities of life.
