Living in the Freedom of the Spirit: Becoming the Person God Intended You To Be

by Tom Marshall

Overview

Many Christians find that there is a gap between what the Bible has to say about freedom and what they actually experience in their lives. In this book, Tom Marshall emphasizes that the Gospel is for the whole person - spirit, soul and body. Biblical truth must be applied in all these areas - particularly in the area of the mind - in order to experience the fullness of freedom and life in the Spirit which God intends for all believers.

Editorial Reviews

I have been leading a healing ministry in churches for 20 years. We use this book for our text book in each class we do. I have heard comments from every class about how much believers have learned from Tom Marshall's book. I have had many testify that it is the best book on Christianity they have ever read. One man told me he had been a Christian for 40 years and he had learned more in the last 2 months than he had in 40 years of church life. Largely from this book.

I have individuals delivered from things from their past just by reading the book. The leaders in our ministry comment how every time they help with a class they learn something new each time they read through this book.

This or any book Tom has written are filled with wisdom and truths that will change lives. I also use his book "Right Relationships" for another class. For a training class I use Tom's book "Healing from the inside out". One could disciple a church from Tom Marshall's books.

-Gary Heese: Pastoral Care Pastor, Vineyard Church

Tom Marshall explained all that Christ accomplished on the cross in a practical, clear way. God used Living in the Freedom of the Spirit to change my life. I was not raised in the church and did not understand the significance of Christ's death and resurrection. I have not been the same since I learned what Jesus did for me and how to apply it to my life. No other book has impacted my life except the Bible as significantly as this one.

Of the books I've read about Christianity, how to interpret the gospels and how to apply it's principles to our life, this is by far the best. There are many books that tell us God is the answer to our problems, that we need to study, trust and believe, which is certainly all to the good. But this book does all that and more. "Living in the Freedom of the Spirit" is a working book. It digs deep, recognizing that the mind is where we begin to find the spirit of God. It forces us to recognize the how, why, and when we developed out belief system, and how those factors have impacted our understanding of the world and our place in it. Once we realize that, we can open our lives to spiritual truths and an understanding of God's invitation to life lived fully and freely in His grace. This is not done just through words, but through illustrations and interactive exercises which truly engage the reader and lead them to a deeper understanding of how to become that person God made us to be.
