LONGWOOD, FLA.-So many in the body of Christ spend their lives caught up in their pasts. At some point in their Christian walk there comes an experience that challenges them to stop "looking back at Egypt" and instead "look forward to the Jordan River" - which involves not only the possible dangers of crossing but also holds the promise of a new life on the other side. Crossing Your Jordan (paperback, 978-1-60477-284-5) by Pastor Richard Giovannetti challenges the reader to step out of their hurts, step into their purpose, and finally to step over into the promise that God has for them.
The powerful message of this book is one that everyone can relate to: it is impossible to focus on our future when we're busy looking back at our past. Crossing Your Jordan guides the reader to choose to believe that the purposes and callings of God far outweigh the problems and strongholds of the past, and encourages them to focus on their future with fresh determination.
"As a pastor for 18 years, I have had to make many decisions to go forward," says Giovannetti. "When I first launched out into the medium of television and radio to expand my ministry, that process involved the crossing of many Jordans in my life-especially because in my childhood I had struggled with stuttering and the resultant feelings of inferiority."
Pastor Giovannetti is now accomplishing God's calling and purpose for his life through television and radio. He is seen weekly in millions of households through his television program, Fresh Fire Flames of Revival. He also offers many other resources for Christian growth through his website standingintheword.org.
