Christianity & Spirituality The advent and introduction of Christianity to the African continent in the form of missionaries took away the Spiritual Connection with God and replaced it with empty forms of worship which they called "Christianity". Christianity as read and understood from the book of Acts, is a 'Spirit-Filled' movement that is contrary to the Christianity of the missionaries, which put emphasis on the physical appearance, forms, and schedules, protocols, and manuals, at the expense of the core of a human being, his spirit. This mechanical form of Christianity by missionaries starves the Spirit and feeds the flesh. Reconnect, and relive the book of Acts in the present day. This book seeks to address among other interesting issues that are hardly addressed on your church pulpits. 'Going Places in the Spirit' will set you on a course correction that will connect you with God not in religious protocol but in a divine relationship with your creator. 'Going Places in the Spirit' will help you re-discover the 'Christ' in Christianity and the Spirit of God in 'Man' as he was created in His image to have dominion on 'Earth as it is in Heaven'. 'Going Places in the Spirit' will redefine your identity at the root of your creation both in the 'Physical' and the 'Spiritual'. Going Places in the Spirit is about 'Decolonizing Christianity'

We have all experienced a disconnect between God's promises to us and our everyday reality. We wait, without understanding why. We want to know God's plan so that we can trust it--but God so often hides his plan so that we will trust him. What can we do in the meantime as we are waiting for an answer, a change, or a miracle? With deep compassion, Wayne Stiles helps readers understand why God makes them wait. Unpacking the Old Testament story of Joseph, Stiles shows readers how to find comfort and opportunity in the time between God's promises and his answers, revealing the perspective-altering truth that sometimes when we think we are waiting on God, he is actually waiting on us. Anyone who has felt a disconnect between God's promises and their reality, who doesn't know what God wants them to do next, or who struggles with the brokenness of their world will find in Wayne Stiles a wise and trustworthy guide to finding peace in the pauses.
