Stages of the Soul: God's Invitation to Greater Love

by NANCY KANE
How can you tell if you’re actually growing?

Sure, when you’re working on getting rid of a huge character flaw you can see progress, but do you ever wish you had a roadmap for the spiritual journey for the rest of the time? Do you ever feel spiritually dry—or like something’s just not working anymore in your spiritual life? If you find yourself longing for more satisfaction, joy, and intimacy with Christ, this book is for you.

Stages of the Soul is about making tangible spiritual progress. It’s about truly understanding—understanding like you’ve never understood before—that you are deeply loved. Nancy Kane walks you through five stages of the soul’s journey toward embracing God’s love. As you learn about each stage you’ll be able to:

  • identify where you are in the process of spiritual growth
  • understand the role of pain and suffering in your life
  • experience God’s love in the radically deep way you were designed to experience it.
“Quite frankly, Stages of the Soul is one of the best books on spiritual formation - particularly for an evangelical audience - written in the past twenty five years. Read it slowly, carefully, and receptively. The result, I believe, will be the formation and transformation Jesus continually offers to us.”

From Fear to Love: Overcoming the Barriers to Healthy Relationships

by RAY & NANCY KANE
Learn how to recognize and destroy barriers to authentic love.

Reaching out to another in love has its risks. It means making yourself vulnerable, taking the risk that you may experience rejection or worse. But, oh the blessings! Ray and Nancy Kane have been there and have come out on the other side of fear. In From Fear to Love, they speak honestly of the process of moving from the bondage of fear to the confidence of giving and receiving authentic love. Drawing on the biblical example of true, genuine love, the Kanes will help readers move past their hurts and into fellowship with God, their spouses and others.

“Ray and Nancy Kane open up their hearts, sharing their own pain as well as their counseling expertise in the struggle to fully experience the love that drives away our fears. This book will take your heart by the hand and lead you to love in ways that break the bondage of fear. As God's Word says, love casts out fears. From Fear to Love may just be what a fear-gripped heart is looking for. Read it and rejoice!”
