Permission Granted

Graham beautifully teaches by example that romance cannot be taught so much as experienced. God loves us with passionate intentionality that began even before the universe was created and continued without abating through the fall, the cross, right into our current experience and finally to the intended end _ a perfect, wonderful eternal companion for Jesus. We are transformed into that bride by receiving and experiencing Gods love and responding back to Him with like passion. All permissions are granted to us in the intimacy of that relationship _ He has removed all the barriers and now He says, Yes! Interspersed throughout the teachings are liberal opportunities to let our emotions experience the touch, the embrace of God, for ourselves. The final two CDs are taught by Dan McCollam in a refreshing understanding of what Jesus really accomplished on the cross and how to live in that freedom. He tackles the controversial Romans 7 dilemma with clarity and passion. I especially recommend this series to anyone struggling to experience Gods love or whose life experiences taught them to expect a no answer.

The book is about church growth, leadership, turmoil and new ways of doing church. I read this book when our church leadership team was doubled. I read it mostly because it was written by Graham. But after I read it our church became in a situation that was described in the book, the turmoil. It helped me to stay in the Spirit, to set my course. So much wisdom! Thanks, Graham!!

These guys are two of the smartest guys around. They are pragmatic, very intentional, and great leaders. Anytime spent with them personally is life changing. This book will save you years of useless processing. It's packed with revelation that you need to move into the next place of definition. Remarkable.

Every leader who wants to build a progressive, postmodern church that has a powerful Kingdom anointing, should read this book. I remember a few years ago when Gary did an Unconference with Graham in California. It was a series of Q&A meetings, chat show style on a living room set in a church. Absolutely riveting! The place was packed with standing room only. This book came out of those sessions.These two guys are amongst the most clear thinking, strategic planning and wise building people out there in the Kingdom. This is a really, really good book.

This conference surprised me a few years back. I remember thinking that the "permission" would be about what we could do in the world ... but it was all about permission to be outrageously loved. God made us human "beings", not human "doings" He loves being with us and Graham teaches how we grow in loving Him in return. The foundation of any impact we have in the world comes from our life as the Beloved. Graham artfully unfolds the depths of the love of God in a way that impacts every other area of your life.
