Powering Up: The Fulfillment and Fruit of a God-fueled Life
A transformational resource that stimulates veteran and rookie believers alike to recognize and increasingly rely on the Holy Spirit's life-altering power.
Christ-centered churches want to develop disciples who exhibit an active, transforming faith. New believers desire to "live the life" and change the world for good. And anyone living beneath their God-given potential longs for a fresh dose of God's life-changing, habit-altering power. But how does it happen?
Where is the start-up button on our spiritual lives? What moves us from "empty" to "full" in our hearts and witness? How do we access God's provision for prevailing against the enemy? The key is to fully engage the power of the Holy Spirit, says author and pastor Jack Graham, not to work independently of it as Christians so often do.
In this enlightening, encouraging small-group and personal resource, Graham uses captivating first-person stories, compelling insights, and contemporary imagery to help believers first understand the Spirit's role, then tap into and practice his power.
As Graham illustrates the powered-up life, he also casts a vision for the empowered church, leading readers to a supernatural infusion of spiritual vigor that ultimately and victoriously displays Christ to the watching world.

Dr. Jack Graham is the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, one of the nation's largest, most dynamic congregations.
When Dr. Graham came to Prestonwood in 1989, the 8,000-member congregation responded enthusiastically to his straightforward message and powerful preaching style. He challenged the Prestonwood family with a vision for a larger outreach, and in 1999, the church moved from its North Dallas location to a new 7,500-seat auditorium in west Plano.
Thriving with more than 33,000 members, Prestonwood continues to grow with seven weekend worship services, four midweek services, about 300 Bible Fellowship classes for all ages, and multiple outreach and community ministries that reach thousands. In 2006, the church added a second location, the North Campus, in a burgeoning area 20 miles north of Plano. And in 2011, Prestonwood returned to its roots--beginning its third location, the Dallas Campus, about two from miles from its original location.
Dr. Graham has served two terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest American Protestant denomination, with 16 million members and as president of the SBC Pastor's Conference.
He is a noted author of numerous books, including You Can Make a Difference, Lessons from the Heart, A Hope and a Future, Life According to Jesus, Are you Fit for Life?, Powering Up and Unseen. Courageous Parenting, co-authored by his wife, Deb, is based on their experiences as parents. Dr. Graham's passionate, biblical teaching is also seen and heard across the country and throughout the world on PowerPoint Ministries. Through broadcasts, online sermons and e-mail messages, he addresses relevant, everyday issues that are prevalent in our culture and that strike a chord with audiences worldwide.
Dr. Graham was ordained to the Gospel ministry in 1970, and has a master of divinity degree with honors and a doctor of ministry degree in Church and Proclamation from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
