Alan DiDio - Encounter: Are You Ready to Experience More of Gods Presence & Power?

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

Until the left rose up to dismantle America, we had the luxury of seeing revival as a good thingnot as a matter of life and death. At this moment, it is unmistakable that all that you and I love about our nationeverything that we hold dearwill be wiped out unless we see a towering, sin-convicting, signs and wonders outbreak. And we are running out of time. Encounter is not just a bookit is the right book for this moment. Dont just read it. Absorb into your spirit! It is the word of the Lord for this desperate hour. It sounds the alarm; but more importantly, it infuses us with faith for an awesome intervention of God.

Mario Murillo

Founder of Living Proof Ministries and best-selling author of Im the Christian the Devil Warned You About

This book is a wake-up call and a must read for anyone who wants to see revival in the churchor in their personal lives. Pastor DiDios book not only inspires renewed passion but also offers authentic and practical strategies that every Christian can apply to see immediate change. You will not be the same after reading Encounter.

Don Corder

President of The Provisum Group Author of Connect: Grow Your Church in 28 Days

This work is much needed by the church today. It is a call to repentance from lazy Pentecostalism and secular accommodations into the crucified life of a real Christian. It is a call to holiness and prayer that will result in the revival of the church that the Lord has prepared for us. This work is both prophetic in its corrections and encouraging with its examples. Pastor DiDio shows us the paths we must take through clear writing and examples from both the Bible and heroes of faith, such as Charles Finney, Andrew Murray, and others.

Dr. William DeArteaga

Christian historian and author of Quenching the Spirit: Discover the Real Spirit behind the Charismatic Controversy

Sometimes the reason we dont get the right answers for the dilemmas we face is because we dont ask the right questions. There are times when we stumble upon the right questions but are not brave enough to accept the answers, especially when they mean we must change a long-standing practice or a firmly held persuasion. Beyond that, there are times when God asks questions of usand we must always remember, God never asks a question for which He doesnt already know the answer.

In Encounter, Pastor Alan DiDio not only asks penetrating questions, but also provides the necessary solutionsbased on biblical truth and time-tested principlesthat have brought success to saints throughout the ages. I encourage you to absorb his message so that when God asks you, as He did Gideon, Have I not sent you? you will be able to answer with a resounding Yes!

Elder Bill Canfield, World Harvest Church

Alan has a way of taking the very complex subject of prayer and making it not only understandable, but also desirable and easily applied in your life. This is a must-read for anyone who takes their faith seriously!

Doug Garasic

Founder of Rust City Church, author of Notorious

In every generation God raises up apostolic voices to penetrate the thick darkness thats blanketed society. Pastor Alan DiDio is one of those apostolic voices thats coming to the forefront in this strategic season. Encounter is a book I highly recommend and it should be in every believers personal library. It will prepare you for whats ahead!

Encounter is for those among us who are done going through the motions of a so-called spiritual life and are ready to reconnect to our power source in our prayer. Pastor Alan has written a book that will help you find the more youre looking for.

A serious survey of the twenty-first century church reveals some troubling indicators. Attendance is flat or flagging in many places. Spiritual depth and density among church attendees, and even among some of the clergy, is at what might be an all-time low. Some churches are closing their doors. Some of those that remain are selling out and only emphasizing feeling good instead of the good news of the Bible.
