It stunk to be an Ephraimite in the days of Jephthah the Judge. In the biblical book of Judges, we read about how one tribe, the Ephraimites, insulted the Gileadites, who in turn fought against the Ephraimites and captured the entrances back into their territory.

Prayer & Fasting: Moving with the spirit to renew our minds, bodies, and churches
This book is for Christians who are waking up from the uneasy peace churches have made with the way things are.
