48 Laws of Spiritual Power: Frank Viola Interview

A fascinating look at what will increase spiritual power in your life and ministry.

In 48 Laws of Spiritual Power, best-selling author Frank Viola lays out the unchanging principles of tapping into God’s power and releasing it to serve others. These laws (principles) are based on over thirty years of ministry experience—trench-tested in Frank’s life and the lives of others who have spent decades in ministry. Though these laws may seem counterintuitive and uncommon, they will equip you to look for God’s power in your ministry. In short, digestible chapters packed with secrets of effective and impactful ministry, 48 Laws of Spiritual Power will equip you with what you need for your ministry to thrive. With straight-to-the-point insights, the book provides a unique perspective on God’s work and practical tools for overcoming the inevitable hardships that are part of any ministry.

As the author says, “Anyone who has read my work knows that I’m highly allergic to legalism. So when I refer to the ‘laws’ of God’s power, I’m not using the term ‘laws’ to mean ‘rules.’ Instead, I’m using it to refer to unchanging principles, as in the ‘law’ of gravity. This is not a book that will teach you how to zap demons and do great wonders and eat cucumbers (as my old friend’s mother used to put it). There are hundreds of books on that subject. 48 Laws of Spiritual Power is quite different. It covers the waterfront on the ‘laws’ (principles) that govern God’s power in all aspects of ministry and service. The book contains 40 years of lessons I’ve unearthed in serving the Lord in many different contexts – lessons born out of failure, success, highs, lows, blood, sweat, tears, and even laughs (mostly at myself).”

48 Laws of Spiritual Power will: Help you access God’s power in your personal life and release it in the lives of others Introduce you to uncommon wisdom that is rarely talked about in seminary or Bible college Give you a fresh look at how to transform your ministry with the power God is ready to grant you The key to effective ministry is God’s power. “With 48 Laws of Spiritual Power, Viola has released another amazing book. The advice it contains is clear and full of practical insights. An absolutely essential read for anyone who is in ministry, either full-time, part-time, or spare-time. As the author says in the opening, “If you are in Christ, your entire life is a mission trip.” Organized in short digestible chapters and intriguing illustrations, Viola’s arresting conversational style is sure to keep you glued to the end. This is an important book that will navigate all Christians – especially leaders – on how to access God’s power in every aspect of their mission.” – Christian Book Reviews
