Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

If we seek to find true life, we must learn to walk in the ways of God's Kingdom. His Kingdom must be sought above all else-not merely admired, spoken about, or understood, but pursued with wholehearted surrender. Yet we cannot walk in the manifested reality, power and glory of the Kingdom while still clinging to our own. To walk by the Spirit means laying down our crowns, surrendering our thrones and denying the Self. If we truly seek His Kingdom, then our kingdom-our agendas, ambitions, opinions, desires and carefully constructed ideas of how life should be-must be surrendered before the King. Even what we believe to be true, right and wise must be yielded as we seek the perfect ways of the Lord. For there is a higher way: the Way of the Kingdom. Jesus declared that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is therefore not merely pointing us toward the Kingdom-He is the Way by which we enter into and walk in its reality. To seek the Kingdom is to follow Jesus in spirit and truth, submitting ourselves to God's divine order, purpose and will.Christ calls us to the narrow road. He calls us to deny the Self, take up the Cross and love the Lord above everything else. There is no other way to sustained life in spirit, soul and body. Not the way of money. Not the way of status. Not the way of power, ambition, recognition or worldly success. These roads promise much, yet they can never produce the life that is found in Christ alone. We must therefore learn to know, discern and follow the ways of the Lord. His path leads beyond the noise, confusion and striving of this world to quiet waters and green pastures. In Him there is hope. In Him there is joy. In Him there is love and life abundant. When we follow Jesus, we are following the Way of the Kingdom-the path that leads to spiritual peace, divine wisdom, heavenly power, restoration and true life. The call remains the same: lay down your crown, surrender your kingdom, take up your cross and follow the King.
