Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don't know what they're missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign.

Randy Kay was a biotech CEO and a committed agnostic. He trusted data, not divine encounters. Then, in 2005, he clinically died for thirty minutes and found himself with Jesus in heaven. He did not want to come back. What followed was years of rigorous investigation, the kind only a former health care executive with scientific training could conduct. His team reviewed thousands of accounts and accepted fewer than 30 percent. The result is Heaven Encounters: 140 verified near-death experience testimonies, the largest vetted collection ever assembled in a single volume.

This audiobook takes a close look at Scripture to see what the Lord himself tells us regarding his Holy Spirit and how it relates to us today.

Satan laughs as he looks at the church today and says to himself, “You can have your Sunday schools and your young people’s small groups, your boys’ and girls’ programs, your vacation Bible schools, your Christian schools, your elegant churches, your retreats, your music programs, your brilliant preachers, and even your revival efforts - as long as you don’t bring the power of almighty God into them by earnest, persistent, believing, mighty prayer.” May God use this book to inspire many who are currently prayerless, or nearly so, to pray earnestly.
