ENUMCLAW, Wash., Sept. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Many U.S. citizens urgently need a strong 'spiritual stimulus' to revive their hearts and minds in this breathtaking post-Great Recession decade of change," said the author of the newly released book entitled Bible-Based Spiritual Stimulus Plan.
The term stimulus plan has become part of our American vocabulary, along with bailout and economic downturn. According to The New York Times "An economic stimulus is an effort by the government to pump money into an ailing economy, whether through spending, tax cuts or interest rate reductions. By replacing money not being spent by businesses or consumers, a stimulus is meant to put a floor under a recession and pave the way for a return to growth." * But is this all we need?
"Many people have argued about the effectiveness of recent economic stimuli while too many Americans have overlooked God's spiritual stimulus plan revealed in Scripture," writes Dr. Cureton Lee Johnson in his new book "Bible-Based Spiritual Stimulus Plan." He writes of a divine stimulus plan designed by our Creator for our enrichment and hope.
Written to the weary American Christian besieged by negative national news and gloomy world outlooks, Johnson's book presents twelve positive biblical stimuli that include necessities of our faith, and lesser-known but essential qualities that work.
The son and grandson of pastors who grew up in the segregated south, Johnson followed his parents' example and pursued full-time ministry, which has included trips to Africa and pioneering religious education services on HIV/AIDS in North Carolina. He has transformed the First Missionary Baptist Church of Fayetteville NC into a mission outpost to help those in the church and around the world. Now he hopes to help members of the American church stimulate our nation in ways that can truly make a difference. According to one newspaper columnist, Dr. Johnson's book is "chock full of practical challenges and faith-enhancing applications;...it is certain to be kept at the bedside table with a pencil close by for jotting down notes in the margins."
