The Word and Power Church: What Happens When a Church Seeks All God Has to Offer?

by Douglas Banister

Overview

A careful look at Scripture, church history, and the church today revealing the need for both the Pentecostal and evangelical perspectives.Evangelicals and charismatics have long been at odds. One side champions the Word, the other the Holy Spirit. But are the Word and Spirit really in conflict or does God’s ideal include both sound biblical teaching and God’s inner leading? Pastor Doug Banister shows that it’s time to get rid of either-or thinking and discover the incredible potential that arises when evangelicals combine their strengths with charismatics. This thought-provoking book looks at the why-tos and how-tos of worshiping God in spirit and in truth.
