Be inspired by a woman who dared to follow God Amy Carmichael
understood true discipleship and lived it out. At a very young age
she felt called to the mission field, followed God's guidance, and
eventually went to India, where she would spend fifty-three years
without furlough. While there, Amy founded the Dohnavur Fellowship,
a refuge for children in moral danger-children who were orphaned or
unwanted and sold to the temple. Amy became a mother for these
children, and so they called her "Amma." Even today, Amy's life of
obedience and courage stands as a model for all Christians
everywhere. We resonate with her desires and dreams, her faults and
fears, her dedication and service. For former missionary and author
Elisabeth Elliot, Amy became a role model. "She was my first
spiritual mother," writes Elliot. "She showed me the shape of
godliness." A Chance to Die is the life story of Amy Carmichael. In
this reverent biography, Elisabeth Elliot brings "Amma" to life,
providing a compelling, unforgettable narrative that will provoke
you to examine the depths of your own faith and encourage you to
reaffirm your life and commitment to Christ. Elisabeth Elliot, one
of the outstanding women of present-day Christianity, is the author
of more than twenty books, including Passion and Purity, The
Journals of Jim Elliot, and These Strange Ashes. She and her
husband, Lars Gren, live in Magnolia, Massachusetts.
The Soul-Winner's Secret demonstrates a series of techniques and
traits which ministers and missionaries alike must employ to
convert wayward souls to the cause of Jesus Christ. Winning souls
is not easy or for the fainthearted; often, those who have strayed
from the embrace of the Lord are either ashamed or of poor moral
character; consequently, they feel unable to reconcile with the
Christian faith. Brengle demonstrates how winning souls to the
cause is a matter of having the correct message in mind, possessing
the means to perceive the character and desires of others, and
preserving one's own health and the finances of one's church.
Samuel Logan Brengle was an early commissioner of the Salvation
Army; a position which led him to encounter many unfortunate
people. The organization would help many thousands of unlucky
individuals who had been variously struck by poverty or misfortune;
setting these souls back on their feet remains the organization's
mission to this day.
In this classic manual of faith, Reuben Archer Torrey examines the
Holy Spirit, that readers may appreciate its divine nature.
Describing the Holy Spirit with close quotations of scripture,
Torrey immerses us with clarity supported by the Biblical New
Testament. We learn how the Holy Spirit is distinct from both God
and Jesus Christ, how it affects the material universe and every
one of our lives, and how it was an important witness to the life
and doctrines of Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit that acts to set
believers on a path of ridding themselves of sin. We are all Sons
of God; it is by guiding us towards that sensible eventuality that
the Holy Spirit works its essential good within each of our souls.
It not only fulfills a role as an educator of Christians needful of
faith, but supervises the baptism and informs some of the greatest
prophets, saints and apostles of spiritual wisdom.

Bring the 'passion' narrative alive with 'Parish Passion Play',
which is suitable for production by anyone with little or no acting
experience. Ideally suited for use in a parish church, the play is
based upon the chronology presented by Professor Colin J. Humphreys
in his book 'The Mystery of the Last Supper'.
