Why Christ is in HimPower Magazine by Carol Douglas Lyles H imPower Magazine is back—and better than ever. Before we share what has changed, it’s important for you to know what hasn’t—that is, who and what HimPower Magazine is about and why. First, HimPower Magazine is a commu- nications tool inspired by God for the benefit of His people and for His Glory. Information at HimPower Magazine or any venue where there is an opportunity for HimPower Magazine to be a blessing to others you can be assured God is leading the effort.
