Awakened

We have had the privilege of working with Ralph over a number of years in connection with The Lovelady Center, a faith-based prison re-entry and addiction recovery haven for women and their children. What we have witnessed over that time is Ralph's deep commitment to serve people in need. We trust the validity of his Kingdom "large assignment" to rescue at-risk

children described in Chapter 13. We recommend this book to all who understand the biblical admonition to "be in this world but not of it". You may not fully align with all the complex issues dealt with in "Awakened," but everything points back to God, the author and finisher of our faith. This book will "awaken" and encourage you. It calls us all to action in support of the will and purpose of our Heavenly Father. - John McNeil, Chairman/COO The Lovelady Center, Birmingham, AL, and Beverly McNeil, Founder, Portraits of Hope, Birmingham, AL

"Working alongside leaders to get from where they are to where they need to be" Dr. Plumb's latest book, Awakened: Embracing Freedom in Times of Peril could become an instant classic with amaranthine proportions. This book serves as a GPS for a rigorous journey rather than a handbook for living with a singular destination. His ability to articulate present-day challenges, leading the reader through a minefield of complex obstacles, is exemplary. He keeps the ultimate goal of Christ's return in the forefront and points to it throughout the book, not losing sight of the goal. This book demonstrates the age-old adage that "in order to change the world, we've got to change the narrative". Awaken leads us to the precipice of a new narrative. - David Weston, Last Reached Initiative, Greenville, SC

This book, Ralph's 7th published, gives both present context and historical perspective to the deep darkness that has come upon the earth. Yet it offers great hope through the emergence of kingdom solutions that will bring even greater light. His chapter on Kingdom Alliances offers a biblical template from which we can rebuild and repair, with our eyes collectively on Jesus, the master architect and finisher of our faith stories. As longstanding strongholds and root structures are dismantled and broken down through continued exposure of evil, new kingdom builders are rising up with innovative, entrepreneurial kingdom building blueprints that have been vetted in the secret place. This is a time for accelerated kingdom collaboration! - Leslie Mahre, Prophetic Intercessor, Kansas City, MO
