Giving Wings to the Soul

A sequel to A Faith Worth Believing, Living and Commendation, Giving Wings to the Soul is the compilation of Dr. Ngien's sermons or speeches, devotional and theological reflections. The materials continue to provide Bible-based, thought-provoking theological, spiritual, and pastoral insights to issues of topical interest. Devoid of complex theological jargon, and crafted with an earthy relevance, Dr. Ngien shows us how to preach doctrinally, apologetically, and pastorally in a way that is clear, readable, and laudable. Reflecting his extensive ministry and academic rigor, his work will instill thirst in a seeker's hearts, and grounds the believer's faith in timeless truth, ultimately giving wings to the soul.Dennis Ngien is a teacher and friend whom I've learned much from over the years. In Giving Wings to the Soul, he gives us precisely that: biblical insight and real-life illustrations on faith, hope, and love that lift us to soar even in the midst of adversity. His first chapter on the attractiveness of Jesus Christ, in which the author comes face to face with probable death and expounds on Christ's suffering love, is alone worth the value of this fine book. I commend this rich volume of sermons and know that you will treasure it as well.--Ravi ZachariasAuthor and speakerIn recent decades the importance and place of the sermon in worship has become increasingly sidelined. In this collection--some of which are intensely personal--Dr. Dennis Ngien shares with us ten biblically-based, theologically profound, pastorally sensitive, and devotionally rich sermons that draw on the wealth of the Christian theological and spiritual tradition, and are illustrated by stories from saints known and unknown.--Anthony R.
