Pressing into the Power takes you on a journey through the bondage of impossibilities and safely guides you to the realm of divine possibilities.

Derek L. Calhoun, a duly consecrated and ordained bishop, laments the fact that we've become a society that struggles to discern right from wrong. He also observes how the COVID-19 pandemic, George Floyd protests, and the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington, D.C., have led many to lose hope-just like the Israelites in the days of Jonathan.

But he contends the pandemic and other life-altering events were not a call to run and hide. They were a call to regroup and rise out of the ashes of obscurity. This book examines the power of forgiveness, the liberating power of faith, the intersection of faith and technology and, the transformative power of listening to the Lord. Discover a simplistic approach to moving closer to the Lord that allows you to break free from the routines of religion with the powerful insights in this book.
