This book will ignite you to seek and save the lost.

It is refreshing to meet someone with one burning passion that never abates. Daniel Bernard has such a fervency to reach the lost, and it is reflected in his book BRINGING HOME THE BRIDE. I know as you read it, you, too, will be ignited to seek and save the lost. --- by: Dr. Terry Teykl founder of Renewal Ministries and author of MAKING ROOM TO PRAY and PRAYED ON OR PRAYED FOR.

I highly recommend Daniel Bernard's book.

BRINGING HOME THE BRIDE gives a challenge to each of us. In like manner as the motto of our ministry. Dan shares a call to Consecration, Commitment and Action. ---by Doug Stringer founder of Turning Point Ministries and the author of the FATHERLESS GENERATION and WHO WILL CROSS THE JORDAN.

I believe that God's desire is to have His bride as in Gen24

Are you someone who ...after being newly converted, had a spontaneous and bold witness that has now waned, and need encouragement to recover your first love? ...while in an evangelism program, was zealous, but since its conclusion, your witness has fizzled? ...attend a congregation that started evangelism campaigns now non-existent? ...needs to know what God wants and has wanted since the beginning of time? Reading this book will answer these questions and others, rekindling your desire to be a testimony of God's love. What this book will give you above all else is God's perspective. God's perspective is what you need to keep evangelism fires burning within you. There are many books on evangelism that give good insight and practical guidelines. However, knowing the "how-to" without a heart for God is like someone giving you a driver's manual for a car that has no engine. Though I give practical instruction in this book, above all, my hope is that the heart of God- and what should be the heart of the church - would be imparted in you. There are several ways in which we can read and apply God's word: subjectively, contextually, literally and figuratively. I will figuratively examine Genesis 24; the story of Abraham's servant, Eliezer, getting a bride for Isaac. Many events in the Old Testament are shadows of the reality found in the New Testament, and they also speak figuratively to us today. I believe that Genesis 24 is a parallel of God's desire to have His bride. Abraham symbolically represents God the Father through being served and respected. Isaac represents the Son of God, Jesus Christ. He is the one who is waiting for his bride and for prophesy to be fulfilled. The servant is symbolic of the work of the Holy Spirit who, through His church, is to bring home the bride of Christ. I focus on the servant's relationship, character, and consequent actions as he fulfills his assignment of retrieving a mate for the master's son. Through this, you will gain insight and instruction as an individual and as a member of the corporate body of Christ. You will discover what you and the church are to be and to do tho accomplish the mission of bringing home the bride of Christ. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, you will receive the passion and the power t5o bring home his end-time bride. I reccommend that you familiarize yourself with Abraham, Issac, and Eliezer by reading Genesis 24 and its parallel in isaiah 62. We pray God's blessings upon you as you read.
