Frank Viola is a prolific and influential author, speaker, and blogger. His work focuses on the study of the life of Jesus and the biblical narrative, with a strong emphasis on simple forms of the church, the restoration of the reality of the priesthood of believers, and helping the poor and the oppressed.
“The 48 Laws of Spiritual Power” covers the waterfront on the “laws” (principles) that govern God’s power in all aspects of ministry and service. The book contains 40 years of lessons Frank has unearthed in serving the Lord in many different contexts – lessons born out of failure, success, highs, lows, blood, sweat, tears, and even laughs.
In addition, anyone who has read Frank’s work knows that he is highly allergic to legalism.
So when he refers to the “laws” of God’s power, he is not using the term “laws” to mean “rules.” Instead, this is about unchanging principles, as in the “law” of gravity.
