Power for Living
''Power for Living'' is a Christian evangelistic book distributed free of charge by the Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation in various countries around the world. It was heavily advertised in the US in the mid-1990s as a seemingly secular self-help book.
== Overview ==
''Power for Living'' was originally commissioned by the Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation to celebrate "The Year of the Bible".〔Acknowledgments, Power For Living, American Vision, Atlanta, Georgia, October, 1983, pg. 132〕 The first printing was produced by American Vision, Atlanta, Georgia in October 1983 under copyright to the Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation. The writers were the noted Christian authors David Chilton, Gary DeMar, Victoria T. deVries, Michael Gilstrap and Ray Sutton. This version was revised in November 1983 by non-denominational pastor and writer Jamie Buckingham. Both versions of ''Power for Living'' contain testimonials from celebrities who became Christians and other content aimed at arguing for the Christian faith.
The revised edition was released because the DeMoss Foundation wanted the book to be less about practical issues of Christian living and to focus more on a Christian evangelistic message. As such, the original edition contained chapters on "God's Perspective" detailing the reformed "Biblical world and life view". The revised edition was decidedly more Arminian in its theology, omitting much of the text coming from a reformed Christian perspective.
The Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation is an American evangelical foundation. ''Power for Living'' is credited for having introduced thousands of so-called "seekers" to Christ, with the added aim of having them then begin attending a local Christian church of their choice to further their relationship with Jesus.
