Conversion
"Conversion is a work above man's power. We are 'born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God' (John 1:13). Never think you can convert yourself. If ever you would be savingly converted, you must despair of doing it in your own strength. It is a resurrection from the dead (Ephesians 2:1), a new creation (Galatians 6:15; Ephesians 2:10), a work of absolute omnipotence (Ephesians 1:19). Are not these out of the reach of human power? ... This is a supernatural work ... 'Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but of mercy he saved us' ... 'Of his own will he begat us' (James 1:18). We are chosen and called unto sanctification, not for it (Ephesians 1:4). God finds nothing in man to turn His heart, but enough to turn His stomach; He finds enough to provoke His loathing, but nothing to excite His love. Look back upon yourself, O Christian! Reflect upon your swinish nature, your filthy swill, your once beloved mire (2 Peter 2). Behold your slime and corruption ... How then should holiness and purity love you? ... Who but must needs cry, Grace! Grace! ... What but free grace could move God to love you."

Synopsis
"Learn Biblical and Spiritual answers to many topics concerning Christians today. Larry Ollison tackles many topics including: abundance, faith, authority, healing, finances, prayer, salvation, words, right thinking, relationships, maturity, love, grace, forgiveness, fear, attitude, worry and many more. This handbook is a discipleship manual that is practical, realistic and personal, in addition to being doctrinally sound. It provides daily inspiration, guidance, encouragement, comfort, and reassurance. Each section in the book is short enough so that you, as a busy reader, will have time to think about each lesson, which will nurture your spirit. One of the most valuable features inside of this book is the use of true-to-life illustrations that convincingly demonstrate the authority of God's Word and the power of simple. If you desire to have a greater understanding and a deeper relationship with God, then this is the book for you."
