More Description

The book unpacks the principles of a lifestyle of service to God, laid out by the apostle Paul in his parting counsel to a young, timid first-century church leader named Timothy. A chapter-by-chapter exegesis of 2 Timothy combined with real-world application and Raines' own extensive cross-cultural ministry experience offer a practical guide for today's Christian who desires to see their faith and ministry fanned into a blazing Holy Spirit flame. It also addresses the dangers that can derail God's servants when personal and spiritual fires are allowed to grow cold. Timothy's life and death bear witness that in every generation God can take a person plagued with fear and transform them into a mighty servant of God set ablaze with the "Spirit of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). This book is an ideal guide for those seeking to mentor faithful followers of Jesus Christ, "who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2).
