Product Description
God’s Spirit once took the prophet Ezekiel to a vast valley filled with brittle, parched-dry bones—a potent picture of widespread spiritual dryness. But by the Word of God proclaimed through Ezekiel’s mouth, those piles of bones took on sinew and flesh and skin, then were infused with life-giving, wind-driven breath from the Spirit of God. A sweeping vista of skeletons was turned instead into a force of fired-up warriors ready to do battle for the Lord. A transformation just as dramatic is what God wants to generate in our individual lives today and in the life of His church.

Dry Bones Dancing is about escaping religious dryness to move on to true spiritual passion. The results will be an experience of supernatural power and peace in the presence of God as you are invited to go deeper and see God’s character and glory as never before.

Broken . . . Whole

Parched . . . Flourishing

Dry Bones . . . Dancing

Is the landscape of your spirit all too desert-like? Then it’s time for a change. It’s time for a miracle. And God is ready to give it to you.

Author and speaker Dr. Tony Evans boldly declares the truth: God’s people are not meant to dwell in a lifeless valley. But if we are to embrace pure joy and rich passion once again, God requires a humble heart. Evans shows desert-dwellers how to pinpoint what brought them there in the first place—and how to get out.

Experience spiritual nourishment and vitality once again. And get ready…

…to dance!

When Your Spirit Is a Desert…

You need more than a drink. You need an entirely new landscape!

When God transformed a valley full of useless bones into a formidable army of living warriors in the book of Ezekiel, He knew you would need the same breath of life today. Now God wants to return you to a place of joy and abundant freedom.

Dry Bones Dancing provides a beautiful picture of the miraculous change that God initiated in Ezekiel’s time and intends to do again…for you.

Dry Bones Dancing: Resurrecting Your Spiritual Passion
This book is an excellent book and is truly worth reading especially if you have reached a dry spell in your spiritual walk in life. This book truly helps in resurrecting your spiritual passion. Rev. Tony Evans, as usual, has truly touched on a subject and applied God's Word in the maginificent and knowledgeable way that he always does. So far, anything that I have read of his is follow up to and gives clarity to God's Word. I truly thank God for God's anointed and appointed servant. Thank you, Rev. Tony Evans.
