How the Spirit Filled My Life – by Bertha Smith

Aug 4, 2008

How the Spirit Filled My Life

The secret of Bertha Smith’s courage and effectiveness throughout a century-long life is that she learned how to die to self…This is the key to spiritual victory, to personal revival, and to effectiveness in ministry. Bertha Smith lived her life with spiritual courage and holy boldness because, like the apostle Paul, she knew that “to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21).

~ Michal Ann Goll, Author,
Women on the Frontlines

Testimony and advice forms the content of How the Spirit Filled My Life. In story after story, Miss Bertha tells of persons who have discovered the joy of the Spirit-filled life. She also points out the traps that plague the Christian and offers suggestions for continuing to walk in the Spirit successfully.

If you are hungering to walk a Spirit-filled life, this book will encourage you, guide you, and mentor you on your journey.

Born before 1888, Bertha Smith went to China as a missionary with the Southern Baptist Convention’s Foreign Mission Board in 1917. After being interned by the Japanese in 1941, Miss Bertha continued her work in China until 1948 when Communism forced her out. She then moved to Formosa (the main island of Taiwan), where she served until her retirement in 1961. After her retirement, Bertha Smith prayed for and ministered to pastors and other Christians up until her death in 1988.

The DIGNITY Lens is a transformative, comprehensive set of seven strategies to look deeply at our institutional challenges and create means of bridging the gap between our aspirations and our current reality, thereby becoming more authentic and creating sustainable change. That’s a huge task! And it probably won’t happen overnight. Where do you start? While DIGNITY: Seven Strategies for Creating Authentic Community (2020), introduces you to these tenets and provides great context for this work, The DIGNITY Lens Workbook provides facilitated exercises and tools to engage with this work and to make progress in narrowing the gap.

Life on the Altar – Dr James B Law

Jan 31, 2022 | 2020-2024, All Books, Featured Items, L-Z, Law

The themes set forth in Romans 12, where believers are called to present themselves to God as living sacrifices, drive the conversation in this book. We are summoned to the altar of God’s presence through the finished work of Christ on our behalf. The Christian life is presenting ourselves to Him every moment, of every day, all the days of our life. This is what I am calling, “Life on the Altar.”

The pattern is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, yet is seldom (if ever) heard from our pulpits. Because I have found alliteration to be a great help to my memory, I began to assign alliterated words to this pattern of discipleship that seems to be repeated in Scripture.

This book is designed to walk you through the pattern used in Scripture that can be replicated in your life and in your church.

Discipleship Preaching – Dr. Rob Finley

Aug 10, 2020 | 2020-2024, All Books, Featured Items, Finley

There is a distinct pattern that Jesus used in training His original twelve disciples. Jesus and the disciples employed the exact same pattern when they began to disciple the 70 and then again with the 120.

The pattern is repeated again and again throughout Scripture, yet is seldom (if ever) heard from our pulpits. Because I have found alliteration to be a great help to my memory, I began to assign alliterated words to this pattern of discipleship that seems to be repeated in Scripture.

This book is designed to walk you through the pattern used in Scripture that can be replicated in your life and in your church.
