THE LOVER OF YOUR SOUL DEEPLY DESIRES TO ROMANCE YOUOnce you have fallen in love with Jesus, once you have looked in His eyes and danced in His arms, you no longer care what others think. Once you have laughed together, shared a personal joke, and caught His eye across the room, you are lost to reason. You walk in a cocoon of His love and protection that nothing can enter. Life becomes just you and Him, even in a crowd.I have seen Him, held Him, felt Him, eaten with Him, and laughed with Him, but it is never enough. I attempt to share some of it with you so that I can show you what is possible in Him and how He desires you.Jesus is calling us out of our mundane lives into a living Romance, the Love Story to end all love stories. He is gently wooing us, singing love songs to us, and whispering our name.This book will expand your "Kingdom Catalog" of the incredible things God has for you, specifically in a bridegroom/bride relationship.You will learn how to develop your spiritual senses.It is a manual on growing deeper in intimacy with Jesus.It serves as a model of what you are learning by its generous sprinkling of examples and experiences.Reading this book will help you welcome Holy Spirit's tutoring, for only through Him can you go deeper in love and enter into the King's bedchamber. Once there, earthly things lose their appeal because your heart is held in the hands of your Beloved. Wherever you go and whatever you do, your eyes are locked on His. Your heart sings your Beloved's name. Anywhere or anytime, you can close your eyes and be lost in Jesus. You can run with Him on the spice-laden mountains, dance in His arms to His love songs, and be His hands to the hurting and broken. You can taste of His love in His inner chamber and walk with Him in His secret place. You will enjoy His garden of delights and find His fruit sweet to your taste.Jesus wants a bride that knows Him intimately, who will fling herself into His embrace with joyful abandon and throw her arms around His neck. I want each bride to see that she can have true love and intimacy while still here on earth.This book should move you to hunger for more love, more adventure, and most of all, more of the presence of the Wild Romancer.

THIS MANUAL IS ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY!A companion volume to The Wild Romancer, this manual will take you deeper in your own intimacy with Jesus.Jesus is calling us out of our mundane lives into a living Romance, the Love Story to end all love stories. He is gently wooing us, singing love songs to us, and whispering our name.Whether you are a man or a woman, you are leaving home on a journey into intimacy with Jesus. That journey will take you into spiritual realms through Holy Spirit, and into places beyond your imagination. But there is a catch-you have to drop your preconceived ideas, open your heart, and be ready to fly out on an adventure of a lifetime. The wonderful thing is that no matter what your physical life looks like, you can take this journey and it never has to end. The adventure of this journey goes on and on, flowing in and around your physical life. Your destination is to know Jesus, but oh, what adventures you will experience on your way as you fall deeper in love!This manual is not about thinking, it is about doing. Thinking and using our head is much easier than getting actively and emotionally involved. While a study guide causes you to think, this Journey Guide will cause you to act. It is much easier to read about a relationship, discuss it, analyze it, think about it, and write about it, but you won't get to know Jesus doing those things. This manual will walk you step-by-step into a living, breathing relationship with Jesus, your Bridegroom Lover.There is a time for Bible studies, prayer, devotions, and worship, but this journey is to get to know Jesus himself. The Wild Romancer was written to entice people to come and experience this place in relationship, but this manual is about your journey.Once you have fallen in love with Jesus, once you have looked in His eyes and danced in His arms, you no longer care what others think. Once you have laughed together, shared a personal joke, and caught His eye across the room, you are lost to reason. You walk in a cocoon of His love and protection that nothing can enter. Life becomes just you and Him, even in a crowd.I have seen Him, held Him, felt Him, eaten with Him, and laughed with Him, but it is never enough. I attempt to share some of it with you so that I can show you what is possible in Him and how He desires you.

He tells you things for your ears alone. He tells you how precious you are to Him, He shares secrets, and one of my favorite things to do with Him--He holds youI am going to show you how to create your own Jesus space in your home, even if your physical space is limited. I'll show you how to set up both a physical setting and a spiritual one. Having a Jesus space will change you forever as you laugh, cry, and get to know the One who loves you unconditionally.BOOK 2: The Door With A HandleI had no idea that something as simple as using my imagination would open the door to the spiritual realm!This book will show you: How you open the door and step throughThe marvelous reason to open this doorWhat the Bible says about this doorThe difference between your imagination and the spiritual realmHow our imagination is part of having been created in God's image and it is meant to be used for good. Since God lives inside of us he can go with us into our imagination and enjoy the time together even if we're imagining the setting, because he's real and he's there.Here and there in my writing over the years I've hinted at this door, even come out and talked vaguely about it, yet I've never specifically told how to find the door and open it or what to do on the other side. I'm now going to clearly show you the door so that when you open it you can joyfully dance your way through in confidence, excited about the adventures on the other side.

I had no idea that something as simple as using my imagination would open the door to the spiritual realm!The spiritual realm has all sorts of doors that, when opened, let us interact with God in a way that is different than the normal, physical Christian walk, for example, visions, dreams, being transported, visiting heaven, and seeing angels. However, these doors have no knob on our side, God must open each one from his side and let us through. Yet there is one door with the handle on our side for us to open any time we choose, the door called Imagination. This book will show you: How you open the door and step throughThe marvelous reason to open this doorWhat the Bible says about this doorThe difference between your imagination and the spiritual realmHow you and Jesus enjoy adventures togetherHow to use this door in daily lifePlenty of examples of what it looks likeOur imagination is part of having been created in God's image and it is meant to be used for good. Since God lives inside of us he can go with us into our imagination and enjoy the time together even if we're imagining the setting, because he's real and he's there. That means that 1) our imagination might change at some point to the spiritual realm, or 2) it might stay our imagination, but either way Jesus comes with us and it's still fun, because our interactions with Jesus are real.There are times when we inadvertently stumble through the door into the spiritual realm, but what I talk about in this book is beyond that simple "Oops, what happened?" We are going to purposely open this door. Once we learn that it's always with us we can open it anytime we want, just for the fun of enjoying time with Jesus. Whether Holy Spirit takes us through it into the spiritual realm is up to him, but I can say from experience that he loves to take us and he'll often do it, if we give him the chance.Here and there in my writing over the years I've hinted at this door, even come out and talked vaguely about it, yet I've never specifically told how to find the door and open it or what to do on the other side. However, this door is so vital to our intimacy and relationship with Jesus that for the first time I'm going to clearly show you the Door with the Handle. This door isn't meant to be hidden, we just don't realize it's there. Instead of giving you hints until you stumble over it like I did, I'm now going to clearly show you the door so that when you open it you can joyfully dance your way through in confidence, excited about the adventures on the other side.You'll also find this book as a 2-in-1 book that includes both "The Door With A Handle" and "Jesus Space" in one volume. Amazon sets a minimum price that I feel is too high for such a short book, so I've published a print version that includes both books in order to get the price down.

CREATE YOUR OWN PORTAL INTO THE SPIRITUAL REALM! As Christians we can access God anytime and anywhere, but do you know that you can create your own portal into the spiritual realm?

Having a Jesus space will change you forever as you laugh, cry, and get to know the One who loves you unconditionally."I read Jesus Space and thoroughly enjoyed it.
