Section One
The Invitation
- Chapter 1
The Missing Wine
The Search for a Supernaturally Infused Faith
About this chapter: The Missing Wine
You have done the practices, or chased the highs, and something is still missing. Start here: why structure and the Spirit belong together, and what it means to run out of wine.
- Chapter 2
The Miraculous Wine
How Ordinary Jars Hold the Power of God
About this chapter: The Miraculous Wine
At a wedding in Cana, ordinary water jars held the best wine. See how the ordinary, set apart, becomes a landing place for God, and where this book will take you.
Section Two
The Wine
- Chapter 3
Power
The Sacrament of the Body
About this chapter: Power
Your body is a jar the Spirit can fill. Learn the gifts Paul names, hear real stories, and see the three guardrails that keep it healthy: Scripture, the local church, and love.
- Chapter 4
Deliverance
The Sacrament of Exorcism
About this chapter: Deliverance
Many of us have felt the pull of darker things. Here is why the church practices deliverance, with simple daily prayers and honesty that freedom is not always received the way we hope.
- Chapter 5
Healing
The Sacrament of Touch
About this chapter: Healing
Jesus touched the sick, and ordinary people can pray for them too. A simple way to pray, and a picture of faith as holding on to God, not forcing his hand.
- Chapter 6
Lament
The Sacrament of Tears
About this chapter: Lament
What does faith sound like when the healing does not come? Learn to lament as Jesus did, with room for grief and practices for groaning and for hope.
- Chapter 7
Footwashing
The Sacrament of the Towel
About this chapter: Footwashing
Jesus washed his disciples' feet and invites us to do the same. Practice getting low, and make room for reconciliation and the Spirit.
Section Three
The Water Jars
- Chapter 8
Scripture
The Sacrament of the Sword
About this chapter: Scripture
Learn to hear God in the Bible. See Scripture as a living sword against the noise around you, with a simple five-part way to read, listen, and journal.
- Chapter 9
Sabbath
The Sacrament of Ruling
About this chapter: Sabbath
Sabbath is more than doing nothing. Discover a day of ruling with God, with a rhythm of eating, praying, and playing that fits your life.
- Chapter 10
Silence
The Sacrament of Solitude
About this chapter: Silence
You do not need a monastery. Set apart an ordinary place, quiet the noise, and sit with Jesus.
- Chapter 11
Surrender
The Sacrament of Tarrying
About this chapter: Surrender
Surrender is not a one-time event. Learn to wait on the Holy Spirit and to pray a simple daily prayer: recognize, repent, receive.
Section Four
The Wedding Feast
- Chapter 12
The Party
The Sacrament of Covenant
About this chapter: The Party
You were never meant to live this life alone. Explore covenant friendship, the vows love requires, and honoring the church and leaders you already have.
- Chapter 13
The Guests
The Sacrament of Hospitality
About this chapter: The Guests
Hospitality is not entertaining. See how an open table, even with boxed macaroni, can welcome strangers, mend relationships, and set people free.
