Roll Away Your Stone: Living in the Power of the Risen Christ by Dutch Sheets

From the Publisher

What price would you pay to remove the barriers that hold you back in life? The wonderful news is that it's already been done and the tab's already been paid. In Roll Away Your Stone, bestselling author Dutch Sheets reveals life-changing biblical truth about who you are in Christ and how to become the person God made you to be. Here is an action plan to conquer the lies that keep you defeated and to walk into a new found freedom you have never known. It's not about who you think you are -- it's about understanding and possessing the truth of who you really are in God's eyes.

Publishers Weekly

As an evangelical speaker, pastor and author of the bestselling book Intercessory Prayer, Sheets has built a career on offering Christians disciplined methodology for gaining spiritual ground. Here, he delivers staunch followers another tool to add to their Christian armor. The author defines the Christian's spiritual journey through several steps: first, realizing the problem of besetting sins; second, recognizing the provision of Christ; and then implementing the process by which real and lasting change occurs. Sheets believes that Christians must know themselves and understand how the fickle part of their nature is content to remain defeated by failures and lusts, even while the other part sincerely longs for change. Believers have to recognize Satan as the enemy, Sheets says, and then lay hold of God's resources for spiritual victory as outlined in the book's handy five-step formula (believing in Christ's sacrificial work on the cross, abiding in God's word, knowing the truth, claiming release and spiritual freedom, and persevering until life's end). Sheets supplies a steady, if plodding and unoriginal, resource that loyal fans will embrace. (Feb.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

What People Are Saying

Carrie Padgett
Sheets' experiences as a pastor, teacher, and speaker give him a broad cross-section to draw examples from. He doesn't just point the reader in the right direction and send them off with a pat on the back. His honesty about his own struggles and victory imbues the teaching with an authenticity and encourages the reader to triumph also. Abiding and nurturing leads to conquering our strongholds. It's not an easy battle but it is a winnable one.

"We all face times of weakness and doubt, and try to depend upon ourselves instead of God. Thank you, Pastor Dutch, for the reminder that ultimately the Lord is in control. It is not the mind God speaks to, but the spirit. It is with great honor that I highly recommend Roll Away Your Stone to all, for we all have weakness and fall short of the 'Glory of the Lord.'"--(Debra Gaynor, ReaderViews.com)
