“I am thrilled about your new book, The Spirit Contemporary Life.
Spirit Contemporary brings together both ‘power’ and ‘practices’ to
engage our constantly changing culture for the cause of Christ. It
has been said, ‘We don’t get to choose the culture we are called to
reach for Christ. We get to choose how we are going to engage it.’
For example, there was a time when the European and North American
church played ‘home’ games. Yet today, most of the time, the church
in these regions plays ‘away’ games. We can either continue down
this path of misconnect or move to Spirit Contemporary and witness
firsthand more coming to Christ than ever before.”
—James O. Davis, president of Cutting Edge International and
co-founder of Billion Soul Network
“I believe The Spirit Contemporary Life has the potential to become
the ‘next Azusa Street,’ moving us forward in the winning of our
world to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Just as it
takes two wings for a bird to fly, it takes two wings for a church
or organization to soar. Just as one wing is program, the other
wing is power. When it comes to this book, one wing is ‘Spirit’ and
the other is ‘Contemporary.’ When Spirit and Contemporary are
synergized together, phenomenal outcomes will happen in the church.
I believe this valuable resource will help the church go to higher
levels of impact and influence in the years ahead.”
—Dr. Elmer L. Towns, co-founder of Liberty University
“This timely book shines a light on a truly important concept: the
gifts of the Spirit can and should be better adapted to our
modern-day culture and powerfully utilized by each and every one of
us in our daily lives to minister to those around us. If we dare to
adopt this mind-set, we will be more effective, attractive, and
culturally relevant. Leon’s dramatic personal journey as a former
EMT gives testimony to the fact that a ‘Spirit Contemporary’ life
is an exciting, miraculous, and fulfilling way to live.”
—Matt Crouch, chairman of the board of Trinity Broadcasting Family
of Networks (TBN)
“Leon Fontaine has helped countless leaders in our nation and
beyond. His life-giving insights have empowered them to effectively
present the timeless message of God’s love and power to an
ever-changing world. Thankfully, those principles are now in print,
and an exciting adventure awaits those who embrace the challenge
clearly articulated in this book.”
—Wayne Alcorn, national president of Australian Christian
Churches
“I love it when someone can take the complex and make it simple.
Pastor Leon Fontaine has put two words—Spirit and
Contemporary—together to create a brand new paradigm of living the
daily life we were meant to live. In The Spirit Contemporary Life
Leon has broken down the walls between these two words that connote
differences and joined them to free us up to live with and for
Jesus every day, everywhere, all the time.”
—Sam Chand, leadership consultant and author of Leadership Pain;
president emeritus, Beulah Heights Bible College
“This is the most inspiring book on evangelism, power ministry, and
the authenticity of Spirit-led life I have ever read. With numerous
personal illustrations, Leon Fontaine takes us into the daily
experience of living the life described in the New Testament
gospels and letters. Solidly rooted in Scripture, Fontaine helps us
explore what it means to live a Spirit Contemporary life personally
and corporately as the body of Christ. This is not another book
about relevance; this is a book inviting us to live fully in Holy
Spirit’s presence.”
—Doug Beacham, presiding bishop of the International Pentecostal
Holiness Church
“Powerful and revolutionary! The Spirit Contemporary Life stirs up
the best in us and beckons us to live out our highest calling. This
transforming resource challenges us to dynamically infuse our world
with the present work of the Holy Spirit in our everyday
encounters. We are challenged to become agents of God’s miraculous
intervention as He leads us in tune with our current culture
without sacrificing our spiritual moorings. Don’t pass up this
book! It ignites a strategic, life-changing focus!”
—Glenn C. Burris jr., president, The Foursquare Church
“The Spirit Contemporary Life reminds us all of our need for the
Holy Spirit in our lives on a daily basis. It is a reminder we need
daily and this book is the evidence.”
—Dr. James Merritt, president emeritus of the Southern Baptist
Convention; lead pastor of Cross Pointe Church in Duluth, Georgia;
host of the international broadcast Touching Lives with James
Merritt
“Leon Fontaine is the real deal. This man loves the Lord and is
gifted to reach this generation in a relevant and powerful way. The
Spirit Contemporary Life is a grace-based approach to moving in the
gifts of the spirit, and I believe that you will be greatly blessed
by it.”
—Joseph Prince, Senior Pastor New Creation Church
