Promise of the Father

Amazon Paperback | Kindle Edition | Barnes & Noble Paperback & Nook Edition

Many have come to know Jesus as the Lamb of God who provides 

forgiveness for our sins, justification in the court of heaven, and reconciliation to our loving Father, but not as many have come to know Him in His other role as the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit and Lord of the Harvest. The baptism in the Spirit has a tremendously important role in world evangelization, something very high on the Father’s priority list. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is God’s gift to His disciples to equip us to be effective witnesses. This amazing gift and tool will better enable us to fulfill our assignment to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Promise of the Father is divided into four sections. Section One gives an overview of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Section Two is a verse by verse exposition of 1 Corinthians 14. Section Three answers many of the questions a seeker may ask and shows how to receive this remarkable gift. The final section contains many useful and interesting insights from the Bible relating to the Baptism in the Spirit.

Pete has been a follower of Christ for some forty-seven years. He wrote this book to introduce the baptism of the Spirit to those who want to know more and to explain its importance and usefulness, as well as how to receive it. He also included much information on the gifts of the Spirit, including how God uses them to build up his people and reach those who do not yet know Jesus. He hopes you will find this book useful in your journey with the Lord and that it will help you receive and put to use all that God has for you. He also hopes that you will become a more effective witness for Christ after being filled and empowered by God’s Spirit.

Heart of an Apostle

by Apostle Pete Beck, Jr.

After many years of experience working with churches, my father observed that the maturing of churches often has been held back by the lack of apostolic and other five-fold ministry. This book was written to illustrate the need for genuine apostolic leadership by those who have a mature heart. Most books about apostolic leadership, although they can be good and helpful, are more or less written from the point of view of the application and performance of ministry, rather than to show the heart of a true apostle. Key editorial points are:

• Why we need each other.
• The marks of a true apostle and how to recognize them.
• The need for a team spirit.
• Passing the baton to future leaders.

A Place at the Table

Apostle Pete Beck, Jr.

In this book, my Dad addressed the problem of sectarianism and its fruit – division. He shows the reader how to work toward having a more unifying “center-set” mentality, which focuses on the core truths about Christ on which we can agree, while adopting a charitable and open minded attitude regarding those doctrines and positions that are disputable. By so doing, followers of Christ will be able to develop relationships which allow for a better discussion of those things which formerly divided us. This is a must read book for leaders at every level.
