Dry Bones Dancing: Resurrecting Your Spiritual Passion

by Tony Evans

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 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! 


Story Behind the Book

After many years of ministering to Christians burned out by religion and spiritually dry, Tony Evans searched the Scriptures for answers to share with everyone who is seeking to rekindle their passion for God. He found the perfect passage in Ezekiel. Through his study of the story, he bolstered his own spiritual passion, and now he shares it with those seeking to be rebuilt and reenergized by and for God.

Feeling Dry

Great book to help with self examination of yourself. Great insight with a biblical perspective. Go into the book with an open heart.

[Brooke · Rating 2 out of 5]

It offered some valid points, but there was some questionable theology.

[Sherry · Rating 3 out of 5]

I started this book years ago and finally finished it when our internet was down...I felt that the author presumed a lot, and I was a bit underwhelmed.

[Ej Powell · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book makes you think. It offers explanations about things you know in the bible but church and Sunday school don't break down. It allows you to look at events and situations in your life from perspectives you overlooked because they were too difficult. My bones aren't dancing but they aren't as dry as when I started the book. Praise Jesus for that.

[Charles Jr. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great book and is needed for every Christian. As Christians we all find ourselves growing fatigue at times during this tedious journey. Nevertheless, Evans shows us through Scripture how to be revived. I enjoyed this books, and I pretty much enjoy any book that Tony Evans has written.

[Clara Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a wonderful book. Tony Evans quotes a lot of scripture. He basically uses O.T. to explain N.T. The book held my attention very well.

Words spoken to hearts seeking understanding. And so it is.

Good read from a good pastor

[Brian Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an exceptional book and great reading for anyone who is serious about fulling their calling from God and using the gifts and talents that He has given us for the work of ministry. I believe that it would be great for men's group and women's groups alike in a church setting or bible class. But also for those who are wondering about what we ought to be doing for the redemption of the world
