Blessing Your Spirit [Paperback]

Arthur A. Burk (Author), Sylvia Gunter (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2006

Our human spirit is responsive. When it is ignored, it will atrophy. When it is nurtured it will grow.

Truth is the nutrient that most powerfully transforms your spirit. Your spirit needs to know the truth about you and about God. Some of that truth is spoken by the Spirit of God to your spirit and some is input that you deliberately seek.

This book is a series of blessings designed to leverage the growth of your spirit. It begins with a fathering theme. For 40 days, legitimacy and identity are explored from the Father's perspective. Then after we have seen ourselves from God's perspective, He invites us to see Him. There are 21 more days of blessings flowing from the names of God.

Finally at the end of the book there is a list of verses that describe the range of activities and emotions of the human spirit. These are designed to help you develop a working theology of your own spirit.

This tool can significantly improve your marriage and your relationship with your children. The most exciting transformation through is when you become much more at peace with yourself and when you discover facets of your own nature that you did not know were there.

Arthur Burk is a researcher whose war cry is There has to be a better way. He is no friend of dysfunctional systems or beliefs. On the surface, you readily see the diversity of his background. He has traveled globally for half a century, is multi-lingual and has allowed the strengths and nuances of many cultures to inform and enrich his world view. He has been a pastor, home schooling parent, businessman, public speaker and writer, all of which served to give him a highly textured view of life. While his experiences in life have given him a broad view of many topics, he is ultimately defined by his high view of God. Whether he is ministering to babies or consulting with businessmen, God is not far off. He sees the principles from the Word as applicable everywhere, and celebrates the power of God flowing from principles. For decades now, people have said that they see life and God differently for having been exposed to Arthur s world view.

Pastor Alan (Bozeman, MT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blessing Your Spirit (Paperback)

This book is a rare spiritual gem. It is a thoroughly Biblical and Christian method of awakening, nurturing and strengthening your "inner man" or your "human spirit." Powerful Scriptural "Blessings" to strengthen your spiritual legitimacy, the peace and joy of the Lord and many other wonderful "Blessings". These are extremely positive "prayers" which will truly Bless your spirit. A whole new concept for the Christian community. We love these and use them everyday. You and your family will be tremendously blessed from this outstanding book of Blessings. Get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-Changing Book, April 9, 2008

By 

S. Salmon (Tyler, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Blessing Your Spirit (Paperback)

This book is a must for every Christian. Recognizing the important role of our spirit, and having someone we look up to as a spiritual mentor speak blessings directly to our spirit, is reportedly playing a major role in bringing a paradigm shift in effectively overcoming woundedness, deceptive thinking, spiritual baggage and other hindrances in the lives of many Christians. I speak from experience in regard to the impact this book has had on my own life, as well as the life of two of my children (one of which had been out of church for over 20 years). This book provides much-needed understanding of the human spirit and motivates committed Christians to seek additional insight into this important aspect of our being.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great revelation on teaching about our spirit man, January 15, 2009

By 

James C. Rowe (Fort Mill, sc) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blessing Your Spirit (Paperback)

This book opens up teaching that our Spirit man separate from our soul, needs nurturing like our soul does when addressed directly. Most Christians get their soul nurtured with church attendance and reading the Bible, but the Spirit man is starving.
