80 Spiritual Principles

This book is a collection of spiritual principles the Holy Spirit has revealed to the author over many years. It is important to understand spiritual principles, because we are spiritual beings who have been given a spirit by God. See Romans 8:16 The spiritual principles in this book are there in the Bible but like gold nuggets in a river bed – they are waiting to be discovered. When we know these principles, they help us live successful Christian lives – joined to the vine, walking with God and being led by the Holy Spirit.
