Christian Devotions SPEAK UP!

Grace Fox

On Tues. Sept. 22, host Marianne Jordan will interview author Christian speaker Barbara Arthur and Ann Tatlock. Barbara Born into a family of generational mediums, Barbara lived her life bound by spiritual darkness. A native of communist Cuba, the paranormal was a part of her culture. When almost killed by a woman involved in witchcraft, Barbara desperately sought God's help. The Lord manifested his grace in the most amazing way, and through the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit, she prayed the sinner's prayer. He set her free from the bondage of living under a curse and transferred her into the kingdom of His Son, Jesus Christ, where she is rooted and grounded today. Ann Tatlock is an award winning author, and she teaches writers about Post Modernism, keeping a Christian Worldview in their writing, and the truth about the ever growing popularity of the new age movement. Join us for this special program when these two incredible women help enlighten us to the dangers of living in a Postmodern culture where rational faith and absolute truths are becoming a thing of the past.
