Releasing the Rivers Within: The Exhilaration of Utter Dependence on God

This book is awesome! Not only is this book biblically based, it's a breath of fresh air. This book discusses how all the resources we need for an abundant Christian life are already inside of us if we have the Holy Spirit (and all true Christians do!) But it also makes the point the the way to access those resources is not through self-effort and trying really hard. Also, I like that Edwards is not afraid to deal with touchy issues like legalism, tradition, personal taste and cultural expressions of Christianity. Rather than making the subject of depending on God and surrendering to His will sound boring, Edwards instead makes it sound exciting and something worth getting pumped up about. I can't say enough good things about this book. Every Christian should read this book!

"It's really a 100-100 situation--all God through all of us....True ministry is all God's work from beginning to end, done through all of us. Or in the image of rivers within, it's God's flood through our floodgates." --Releasing the Rivers Within, page 95 In a follow-up of his previous book, "Revolution Within" Dwight Edwards continues his covenant look at what God does in the life of his kingdom on earth through his church and his people.If you are beginning to wonder if a 'sin management' gospel is not the whole story, you might be right!! Read Revolution Within and follow up with Rivers.
