Graham Standish describes how a church that is open to God's purpose, presence, and power can claim God's blessing. Standish shares the story of Calvin Presbyterian Church in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, and its journey to become a spiritually deep congregation, one that is inwardly and outwardly healthy spiritually, psychologically, physically, and relationally. Becoming a Blessed Church will help you discern God's purpose and the path God is calling your congregation to walk. This book will help you find Christ in your midst and become aware of the many ways the blessings of God's Spirit flow through your congregation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e 8.9 x 6.1 x 0.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbutton class=\"button button1\"\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color:white;\"\u003eNEW Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cstyle\u003e\n.button1 {\n}\n.button1 {background-color: #04AA6D;} \/* Green *\/\n.button2 {background-color: #008CBA;} \/* Blue *\/\n.button3 {background-color: #f44336;} \/* Red *\/ \n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"CHRISTIAN STORE INDIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47643763572898,"sku":"Becoming - c507","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/0599\/0306\/files\/61YPHN9sTQL._SL1500.jpg?v=1789122703"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/0599\/0306\/collections\/Alban-sm.jpg?v=1789122096","url":"https:\/\/www.christianstoreindia.com\/collections\/the-alban-institute.oembed","provider":"CHRISTIAN STORE INDIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
