What ministers are saying about The Divine Womb, The Prophetic Purpose of Women in the New Millennium...

 

“In his book, 'The Divine Womb'...  By using good Biblical hermeneutics, John challenges our thinking and opens our understanding to the potential that God has locked in women.  He explores prophecies that have been ignored, presents linguistic jewels that open...to us the purpose of women in God's great plan!"  [Excerpt of the Forward]

(Timothy Mann, Director, Harvest Fire Ministries International)

 

“The Divine Womb is refreshing, intelligent, thought-provoking, and a significant contribution to our understanding of women in ministry.  It compels us to reexamine our preconceptions about women and God's plan for His Church.”

(Pastor Gerry Wilson & Assoc. Pastor Kay Wilson, Arcadia Friends Community Church)

 

“Dr. John has powerful prophetic insights regarding the Church in this hour.  'The Divine Womb' is thought-provoking and challenging.  I believe it will promote a great deal of discussion that will help the Body of Christ begin to understand God's design for women and facilitate right relationship between men and women.” 

(Carolyn Suty, Aglow International U.S. Director)

Key Points of The Divine Womb...

 

The Divine Womb, explores God's intent for women since the creation in the Garden.  We find that women in general are the vessels through which redemptive purpose enters the world and that women were the initial agents that God uses to bring about spiritual revolution .  It explores how what is uniquely female when united with what is uniquely male brings forth the longed for, "outpouring of God's Spirit" into a situation and region.  It also outlines the process God uses to birth prophetic purpose in a particular generation and revelation.  The book climaxes with a discourse on the Ultimate Woman, the Church and her role as Christ's carrier of the Divine Seed.

What ministers are saying about Beyond Revival, Living the Spirit of Revolution...

 

“Dr. John Mastrogiovanni offers in this book, the challenge and hope which faces every Christian disciple.  The challenge of listening to God beyond our preconceptions and the hope of renewal beyond the moment.  This book crosses all lines of theology and church identification calling for a reality of relationship with God that sparks the flame of divine movement in human history.”

(Rev. Gregory W. Douglass, Monrovia United Methodist Church)

 

“(Essence = the most basic, significant, and indispensable quality, property, or aspect of a thing.)  Dr. Mastrogiovanni has set forth essence in Beyond Revival.  Personally, it answered many of the questions, which I have had for many years, questions that found complete resolution as I read page upon page of this God-inspired work of the Holy Spirit.  If your aim, as a church leader, is to know and follow the heart of God in church growth, this is a must read!” 

(Dr. Earl D. Johnson, Covenant Life Church)

Key Points of Beyond Revival...

 

Beyond Revival has a threefold purpose: 

 

First, it reveals to believers the process God uses to transform our paradigm from seeing ourselves as ordinary people into the spiritual revolutionaries God intends us to be.  Second, it addresses why we go through discomforting, strenuous times in our spiritual lives and within the local church.  Thirdly, it reveals the purpose of revival as a means to an end and not and end in itself.  Thus, many believers are discouraged and restless because revival, as they perceive it, has not come.  Yet, in many of these cases it is not revival that God wishes to bring, but a full sale spiritual revolution.

 

 

 

What pastors are saying about The Spirit of the Scorpion, Conquering the Powers of Insurrection...

 

“My brother in Christ has successfully crossed all denominational, Charismatic/Non-Charismatic and Theological boundaries by not only pinpointing one of the greatest problems in the Church, but also by offering a sound, logical, and biblical solution!  I will make this a “Must Read Book” for all my leaders and I would suggest the same for all Churches!” 

(Pastor Robert J. “Bob” Spurgeon, First Christian Church)

 

“Pastor John Mastrogiovanni is a pastor’s pastor.  This book exposes a common cancer which plagues spiritual leadership and provides a sound biblical model for it cure.” 

(Brent A. Wood, Ph.D., Former Pastor, All Nations Seventh-day Adventist Church)

 

“Pastor Mastrogiovanni clearly exposes the ancient disguise of our spiritual enemy and helps the reader claim the power of God for victorious living.”

(Rev. Steve Blankenship, M.Div, United Methodist Church)

 

Key Points of Spirit of the Scorpion...

 

The Spirit of the Scorpion, reveals to readers (both ministers and church members alike) how Satan uses our attitudes and behaviors to divide and hinder the local church. It brings a gentle conviction to the way we speak about our church leaders and fellow church members with clear direction on how to empower the local church to succeed in its God ordained vision. The book shows how our feelings and attitudes are effected when we are exposed to people infected with scorpion attributes and how to stay clear such sin in our own lives.  Finally, the book reveals how we can stop the power of darkness from effecting our church and out church leadership.
