Immanuel's Bride and the Holy Spirit: Building a Whole New World is a riveting account of the Holy Spirit, which captures the glory of God. This compelling use of the scriptures, portrays God's dynamic nature through His Holy Spirit. It journeys from Genesis to Revelation and looks at the importance of Christians being in awe of God. It conveys how lowering one's self before God and others promotes the free flowing of God's Spirit in every facet of one's life. Both, novice readers of the Bible, as well as those well versed in it, will learn a new dimension of their connection to the Holy Spirit and how to depend on Him. Also, readers will see God's plan for the ultimate wedding between Immanuel and His Bride.  Immanuel's Bride and the Holy Spirit is an uplifting and revealing profile about who the Holy Spirit is to God and to Christians, as well as how to allow faith in God to lead your actions, thoughts, emotions and spiritual strength. -Blair Townley,Editor, Xulon Press  Mario Depeine, Sr. graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in Psychology.

Immanuel's Bride is a nonfiction work based on the very interesting connections that God has allowed me to make and see as a result of my Bible study over the years.  I see the Bible as a very well organized puzzle.  Sometimes you find 2 or 3 pieces of the puzzle clumped together, and other times you just find what appear to be random pieces, by "themselves."  But as you pray and you look for the connections that are there, you start to bring the pieces together and they show you the whole picture.   Once I decided that I would write this book in 2009, I felt driven, daily, to keep the work going to completion.  Every night, I wrote down ideas that came to mind.  I would often "stumble" on passages in the Bible that would connect to the ideas that I thought I should look into.  There were many mornings where I would just wake up at 3:00 AM or so, and I could not go back to sleep until I got some thoughts on paper.  The same thing would happen if I went to bed, "called it a night," and then I had thoughts that came to mind.  I could not fall asleep until I got up and wrote down those thoughts in my journal or any piece of paper I could find on the night table.  After that, I could fall asleep. I am more than convinced that this book will help you understand God in a greater way.  I am also convinced that He will be honored through it.  If I am right, pass it on so that someone else will be encouraged and inspired to be greater for God!  Take some time to write a review and let others know how Immnuel's Bride helped you.  May God bless you as you walk with Him and make His vision a reality through you.
