Ebook
Now the heart-changing volumes can be found in one hardbound and collectible edition. Every great movement of God is preceded by a season of humility and repentance: brokenness. You will never know real joy, peace, or success until you learn what it means to live a fully surrendered life, and have a conscious ambition and aim to be holy. Nancy Leigh DeMoss’s life message, with probing questions and application, will be the starting point for giving God the right to revive, control, and purify your heart.
BROKENNESS
Do you need a fresh encounter with God?
Nancy DeMoss has discovered an irrefutable spiritual principle: before every great movement of God there is always a time of deep repentance. Here is her moving, true account of how God created that brokenness in others—and the astonishing revival that followed.
SURRENDER
For a Christian, waving the white flag doesn’t mean, “I give up!” It means, “Victory at last!”
Struggling with stubborn habits? Secret sin? Spiritual strongholds? The key isn’t how committed you are to the battle—it’s how surrendered you are to God. Here is the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for—the first step towards a deeper, richer, victorious spiritual life.
HOLINESS
Your fullest experience of God will only come when your life is holy and your heart is pure.
If you’re longing for a deeper connection with God, you must first answer His call to holiness. Here Nancy Leigh DeMoss shares practical principles for having a life that is set apart—and a heart is set on fire.
