Christian Book - Wake Up and Smell the Glory基督教图书-唤醒和嗅觉的荣耀

Hello, 喂，

I'd like to welcome you to the promotional site for my new Christian book Wake Up and Smell the Glory . 我想欢迎您到我们的宣传网站，我的新基督教书籍唤醒和嗅觉的荣耀 。

I've used this website to give you a preview of each chapter and allow for constructive comments, testimonials and recommendations from regular people who have read Wake Up and Smell the Glory . 我用这个网站给你预览每一章节，并允许有建设性的意见，推荐和建议，经常人民谁也读唤醒和嗅觉的荣耀 。

I wrote this book, I believe, to help people understand that ANYONE can draw near to God, hear His voice and build a relationship with Jesus that does not require continual access to our spiritual mentors and ministers. 我写这本书，我相信，帮助人们认识到，任何人都可以接近上帝，听到他的声音并建立一个与耶稣的关系，不需要不断进入我们的精神导师和部长。 Not so that we may 'forsake the gathering of the bretheren', but more to ease the pressure we often place on pastors and ministers. 并非如此，我们可能会'放弃收集的bretheren ' ，但更以减轻压力，我们经常举行牧师和部长。

Many times we like to blame those who hold the office of pastors and teachers for our lack of spiritual health, and many times we are controlled or taken advantage of, by our reliance on people other than Jesus and His Holy Spirit. 很多时候，我们要责怪谁持有这些办事处的牧师和教师，我们缺乏精神健康，而且很多时候，我们控制或利用，我们的依赖于人以外的其他耶稣和他的圣灵。 Both situations are no good and both situations can easily be avoided by allowing Jesus to be the Lord, Saviour and friend He came here to be. 这两种情况都没有好和这两种情况下可以很容易地避免了让耶稣是上帝，救世主，他和朋友到这里来的。

Join me on a journey of discovery from salvation through to relative spiritual maturity, finding revelation after revelation about Who God really is and how I found that He was always so very much closer than I ever realised He was. 加入我的一次探索发现的旅程从拯救到相对成熟的精神，寻求启示启示后，有关谁是真正上帝，以及如何我发现，他总是非常非常接近比我以往任何时候都意识到他。 You can have conversations with the Holy Spirit yourself, right here and now. 你可以有交谈圣灵自己，在这里和现在。 All you must do is recognize His voice. 所有你必须做的是承认他的声音。

From the back cover: 从封底：

Have you ever felt like that animated cartoon where the character's trying to make a moral decision and the little angel pops up on his shoulder to represent his conscience? 你有没有觉得这样的动画在字符的努力使道义上的决定和小天使跳出他的肩膀上代表自己的良心？ As he's talking to his conscience, a little devil pops up on his other shoulder to talk him into doing the wrong thing instead. 正如他在谈论他的良知，一个小鬼弹出他的其他肩部谈论他做了错误的东西代替。

Despite the cartoon antics, have you ever noticed how the angel talks to him, respecting him as an individual but the devil talks as him, as if its' words were the characters own thoughts? 尽管卡通滑稽，你曾经注意到如何天使会谈给他，尊重他作为一个个人，而是魔鬼与他会谈，因为如果它'字的字自己的想法？ Getting him to focus on the temptation, the sly little devil whispers its' words in his ear, as if it wasn't even there. 让他把重点放在诱惑，偷偷小鬼窃窃私语其'字在他的耳边，好像它甚至不存在。

Well, welcome to life as it actually is! 嗯，欢迎生活，因为它实际上是！

What's In It For You? 什么是它的吗？

I'm just like you, no more, no less. I believe God is raising up His people. Any of His people, to finish the work He started and left us with, two thousand years ago. I've written this book to show you that God can and will use anyone who is ready and everyone who is willing. 我只是喜欢你，没有，没有少。我相信上帝是提高了他的人民。 他的任何人，完成工作，他开始给我们留下了，两千多年前。我写这本书告诉你，上帝可以和 任何人都 将使用 谁愿意和大家谁愿意。

Don't read this book because you know who I am (Very few people know who I am). Read this book because you want to know what God has to say, directly to you! 不要读这本书，因为你知道我是谁（很少有人知道我是谁）。 读这本书，因为你想知道上帝说，直接给你！

Wake Up and Smell the Glory - by Matthew Smith - Contents page

Unlike many messengers, I don't want to tell you what God is saying, unless He specifically gives me a mandate to do so (And occassionally He does), but I want to help you hear, understand and discern for yourself , so you can trust Him, not me! 与许多使者，我不想告诉你上帝是说，除非他特别给我的任务是这样做的（有时他不），但我想帮助你听到，理解和辨别自己的 ，所以你可以相信他，而不是我！

While most people will spend time justifying why you should trust them, I would like to prompt you NOT to trust me. 虽然大多数人会花时间的理由为什么要信任他们，我想提示你不要相信我。 I am just as human as you are. 我只是作为人类的你。

But you really do need to trust Jesus, His promises and His Spirit. That's what this book is really about; Not telling you how or what I want you to believe, but it's about introducing you to God in a very personal way. 但是，你确实需要信任耶稣，他的诺言，他的精神。这就是这本书是真的，不是告诉你什么我想请你相信，但你的介绍上帝在一个非常个性化的方式。

It's also about warning you of the spiritual trappings and pitfalls that await you along the way of getting to know God personally. 这也涉及警告你的精神服饰和陷阱沿着等待着你的方式让你了解上帝本人。 God wants you to know Him personally and intimately, but there are many who will gladly step into the way and we must know how to recognise these people and spirits for who they are. 上帝想让你知道，他本人和密切，但也有许多谁乐意进入的方式，我们必须知道如何识别这些人的精神的，他们是谁。

Ever heard the voice of God? Is it real? Can I talk with God?
