Our Alliance churches across Canada and the world are filled with many talented people. Stewart Brown from the First Filipino Alliance Church, in Edmonton AB, is one of these people. He has written a book titled, Majesty in Motion. This book has been featured on "100 Huntley Street" (April 26,2010) and has been chosen as the Winner in the Relationships category at the World Guild's Canadian Christian Writing Awards on June 16,2 010.
Majesty means greatness in connection with God. This book is about His greatness or majesty at work in the motions of Christ-followers when they practice intentional encouragement in all of their relationships. When practiced in obedience to God, genuine Christian relationships reflect the culture of God - the intentional encouragement continuously at work between God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Every person has a great need to receive encouragement and to become a majestic encourager used by God to attract, inspire, sustain, and deeply motivate others. This book reaches far beyond the superficial, temporary, fleeting effects of 'popular' encouragement. Three essential 'legs' of encouragement are revealed from God's Word - 'legs' on which each person can run the race of life and reveal the 'majesty of God'.
The process of employing these 'legs' of encouragement is developed in the book in four basic stages - each one building on the previous one. Readers are challenged to evaluate their present perspective on encouragement in light of a new paradigm. First, the new paradigm initiates the new life of encouragement. Second, the encouraging life becomes a lasting one when built on a three-fold foundation. This foundation provides the fertile ground for cultivating an attitude of intentionality which can lead to a continuous practice of real encouragement in each of the readers' relationships.
