The Stirring (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780785281368)

The problems facing Pastor Steven Warner's congregation are all too familiar--teen sex, New Age influences, violence at school and on the street, family members too busy for each other, and church schism. No matter how many hours he puts in, he can't meet everyone's needs. Steven seems to be forgetting that it's not his responsibility to fix all these hurts on his own--and that his family is suffering because he is working too hard. The dramatic and unexpected results at the church and at a local college reveal the true power of the Holy Spirit, and, in the end no one is ever the same after experiencing the Stirring.
