Deeper Conversion: Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times

by Ann Shields

If we choose to be disciples of the Lord—not bystanders but true followers—then we have to be conformed to his Word.
—From the Introduction

Are you connected to the latest technology—cell phone, PDA, iPod, Internet—but not connected to the Word of God as it comes to us in Scripture? The Bible not only nourishes us, Pope Benedict XVI has said, it also dispels the darkness of fear and lights up the path in difficult times. Meditating on Scripture is essential for every Christian, especially in a culture that disregards the gospel message.

Deeper Conversion will help you examine your life in the light of the Bible so that you can harvest the Word and apply it to your daily circumstances. Sustained and transformed by your encounter with the Lord, you will find strength for your own journey and healing wisdom to share with a weary world.
