Gods Eternal Purpose, 2008-10-22
If this book doesn't convince you that you need to understand what God's will and eternal purpose is, nothing will.
I would say this is one of the best discussions on what God is really doing today.. actually, what He started before there was ever space and time and is continuing to do today.
If you want Christ to be central in your life and if you want to be working with Him as His purpose is worked out and is being accomplished in this hour, then this book is for you.
God's Ultimate Passion is full of revelation, hope and encouragement... it will cause you to see God's Passion.

God's Ultimate Best Kept Secret!, 2008-02-19
This is not just a random book I picked up. It is the book I wished I had written myself. Over the past few years I have been teaching and researching on mainly one single subject. I have become obsessed with this subject because I now know that this is really the Subject of all time, for it is God's obsession and His ultimate passion! I used to think that the Church was just a temporary necessity to help us endure and be strong until Jesus comes back. Who needs each other when we are face to face with Jesus? Who needs a messed-up church when you have a worldwide theocracy during the millennium rule of Christ? When I read, "When that which is perfect has come, then that which is imperfect will be done away" ...I saw nothing more imperfect than the church! So good riddance... come Lord Jesus! But I was very wrong.
You see, I understood very little of God's ultimate passion. I had an incredibly weak idea of God's purpose on this earth and therefore my part in it. I knew God loved me and wanted me to live forever, but as to why, how and for what, I had no idea. Oh, I thought I had it all figured out, but as I began to delve into the full richness and the glory God has stored up for us, it was as if a cascade of light flooded my soul. I now tremble at how huge God's purpose is for us! Not that I am aware of the fullness of it all, for now I realize that I have only explored a single speck of light out of a whole universe of galaxies. I am such a baby in this subject!
This book is a brand new book, written by another explorer, who is also a baby. However he has seen many things I have not and he is as enthralled with it all as I am, so I am recommending this book in hope I can recruit you to explore with us. So PLEASE, read this book... but nibble on it for you will miss out on most of it if you guzzle. And do not stop with this book, but continue to explore. And if we could share together our discoveries beyond this book, it should change how we act, love and dream, for it really does matter how we see the big picture.

Learn the neglected fundamentals, 2007-08-24
This book is one of the best ever written on God's eternal purpose. Viola provided me with a whole new perspective on the mind of God and helped me understand better the Scriptures through which He reveals His mind. You will learn to look at the Bible very differently from what most have been taught, and some people will probably be threatened by this approach. I still strongly advise you to read this book and keep an open mind. If you do, Viola will take you on a journey into God's heart. There, you will learn what His desires are and how you can be part of their fulfillment! You will gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the deeper life, and see why it is so important that Christians commune with each other in unity with Christ as their only head. Viola will show you how the three great images of the Church (the Bride of Christ, the House of God, and the Body of Christ) are reocurring themes in the Bible which reveal the Father's ultimate purpose for His Son, and the Son's ultimate gift to His Father. This book is one of the greatest helps I have yet discovered for helping believers get beyond themselves and live for God's purpose. This is a must-read!

Refreshing, Visionary, Engaging, 2007-03-22
In "God's Ultimate Passion", Frank Viola emulates a man pursuing the heart of God responding to His irresistible invitation to spiritual union. This three fold story of God's romance and plan for the Bride of Christ, the dwelling place (house) of God, and the Body of Christ (the Family of God) is solidly based on Biblical teaching.
This is God's own love story. It is the story of a redemptive love, which draws the Bride of Christ into an expression of ultimate passion. The bride captivated with the bridegroom revels in his grace, to accept his love.
Frank writes with an exciting intensity and vision that is persuasive. He moves the reader to a positive response and life changing action "to let Him build us together with others in the way that He has always wanted...So that He might have His House upon this earth."
Viola is a gifted communicator stirring the reader to awaken a new perspective of self, God and the potential lying dormant within, "crying out for expression."
This is a book for "revolutionaries who are reaching for God's highest."
