Runways of the Heart: My Journey Empowered by the Holy Spirit

From college drunk to founder of Joshua Nations and initiator of 7,300 Bible Training Centers in 60 countries. Seeking to fill his empty heart with alcohol and dead-end pursuits, this “Yankee Boy” Russ meets “Alabama Knockout” Lana and downs a six-pack before entering church with her. But something happens in his heart, and he switches to a hot pursuit after God and more of the Holy Spirit. This brings deep trouble (booted from pastoring his first church) and adventures as he leads his New Life congregation in a small Texas town in an active study in all the ways of the Spirit like the first century church. For 10 years they live and learn in the expectant and vibrant spiritual winds of the book of Acts. Before those winds shift again.An impression while flying over the Los Angeles airport runway sets the course for his life:There are many runways to receive airplanes from all over the world. Without them, planes carrying important cargo could not land. It is the same with your heart ... you must give Me complete access to it. If you do, you’ll be amazed at the precious cargo I want to deliver to you ... surrender to Me and watch what we can do together. With candid honesty about his own fears, struggles, crossroads and with his characteristic sense of humor and love for the quirkiness of human nature, Russ Frase shares captivating stories as he takes us with him on his journey. His earnest desire is that you will discover the rich depths of the Holy Spirit in every area of your life and be empowered to soar into the divine destiny God has prepared for you.
