The four messages in this book lift the Spirit-led life out of the confines of every artificial, religious environment and set it in reality where it is tested and proven. The powerful and subtle seductiveness of the world, the absolute need for radical separation from the world and its spirit, the true meaning of obedience in a world full of reasons to despair, and the triumph of true faith are some of its themes.
This book points toward end-times when a life lived wholly by God's Spirit will be the minimal condition for being able to stand. It is therefore a bold challenge to every lesser version of Christian life and a powerful inspiration to those who will not settle for less than God's reality.
About the Author
Art Katz attended Santa Monica City College, UCLA, and the University of California at Berkeley, earning B.A. and M.A. degrees in history as well as a M.A. degree in Theology at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN. He has spoken to secular, university and religious audiences in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australasia and the United States.

Art Katz was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1929 of Jewish parents. Raised through the depression years and turbulence of World War II, and inducted into Marxist and existentialist ideologies, as well as merchant marine and military experiences, Art was brought to a final moral crisis as a high school teacher—able to raise, but not able to answer the groaning perplexities of the modern age.
During a leave of absence and on a hitch-hiking odyssey through Europe and the Middle East, the cynical and unbelieving atheist, vehement anti-religionist and anti-Christian was radically apprehended by a God who was actively seeking him. The actual journal of that experience, Ben Israel – Odyssey of a Modern Jew, recounts his quest for the true meaning to life, which climaxed significantly and symbolically in Jerusalem.

Written in a style where I could insert myself easily into the lives of Joseph, Elijah, and Paul and Silas. Katz presents a precise picture of the ups and downs of these mighty heroes of the Bible and then challenges the reader to embrace the heights and valleys of the christian walk as the standard for a life given to Christ. It's a life changing book which has given me a lot to meditate on.
