Fifty Day Spiritual Adventure - Softcover

Accelerated spiritual growth is within your grasp!

"I am convinced that Christians in this land are at a crossroads," says David Mains, popular broadcaster on the radio program "Chapel of the Air." "According to a Gallup survey, while 42 percent of the country's population is in church or synagogue every weekend, very few leave the sanctuary as changed people."

The solution? To bring Christ fully into your daily work. Whether you're a homemaker, an electrician, a farmer, a salesperson, a teacher, an executive, a factory worker, or even retired, the simple plan laid out in Fifty-Day Spiritual Adventure will bring renewed vigor and enjoyment into your Christian walk.

Dr. David R. Mains has been director of The Chapel Ministries since 1977. For 19 years, his primary ministry voice was "The Chapel of the Air," a nationally syndicated daily radio broadcast, and more recently "You Need to Know," a daily television show named 1995 Program of the Year by the National Religious Broadcasters. David and Karen Mains have made it their life aim to bring tapped-out pastors and tired Christians renewed life in Jesus Christ. One of the practical ways they do this is through their nationwide 50-Day Spiritual Adventure which has involved more than 4.6 million participants since 1980.

Karen Mains is a prolific author and an articulate communicator whose national prizewinning books address deep spiritual issues. Most of her creative works have been birthed out of personal experience as a pastor's wife and her many active years in radio and television broadcasting with The Chapel of the Air Ministries.

Her travels through barrios and refugee camps in Central America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa resulted in her book The Fragile Curtain, which won the 1982 Christopher Award given to writers, producers, and directors whose works affirm the highest values of the human spirit and are representative of the best achievements in their fields. Since then, in the publishing of more than two dozen books, Karen has been the recipient of many other awards, including three Christian Booksellers' Gold Medallions. Open Heart, Open Home is her first and best-selling classic, which in its numerous printings has sold over five-hundred thousand copies.

Widely experienced in administrative leadership, Karen is now a member of the executive team of The Chapel Ministries, and her eight-year service on the board of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship culminated in being elected the first woman chairperson of that committee (1993-1995).
