The incredible true story of one man's imprisonment for the gospel;
his brokenness, God's faithfulness and his eventual freedom. In
1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest
unevangelised country in the world, to serve as a missionary.
Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay
ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan
for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks,but
also successes in starting new churches in a place where many
people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from
Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and
Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining
to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested.
Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in
Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being
among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political
pawn whose story soon became known around the world. This is
Andrew's remarkable story of his imprisonment and journey of faith.
Delivers holistic strategies for sharing the gospel with loved
ones.
Sharing the gospel with a family member can be an exciting
experience--and often a long, painful, and confrontational one.
Randy Newman recognizes it can be more difficult and frustrating to
witness to a family member than to nearly anyone else. In Bringing
the Gospel Home, he delivers practical, holistic strategies to help
average Christians engage family members and others on topics of
faith.
A messianic Jew who has led several family members to Christ,
Newman urges Christians to look to the Bible before they
evangelize. He writes, "a richer understanding of biblical truth, I
have found, can provide a firmer foundation for bold witness and
clear communication." After a brief introduction on the nature of
family, he delves into discussions of grace, truth, love, humility,
and time. He also addresses issues related to eternity and
end-of-life conversations. Bringing the Gospel Home will help any
Christian as he seeks to guide loved ones into God's family.
The unbelievable story of how one town truly prayed without ceasing
In 1999, a small town on the south coast of England became the
birthplace of the extraordinary, accidental, international movement
known as 24-7 Prayer. Their inspiration was a seemingly chance
visit by founder Pete Greig to Herrnhut in Germany, where the
eighteenth-century Count Nikolaus von Zinzendorf had initiated the
Moravian prayer watch, which ran without ceasing for a hundred
years. Five years later, Phil Anderson undertook an aerial road
trip on a tiny four-seat airplane from England to Germany, a
remarkable journey to uncover the history of Zinzendorf and the
movement he led. Part history, part narrative, The Lord of the Ring
takes readers on a fascinating journey back to the
eighteenth-century Moravian renewal movement and their hundred-year
prayer watch. Anderson retraces the steps of Zinzendorf, reconnects
with his legacy, and seeks to apply it to life and faith in a new
millennium. Learning from the past, readers will discover crucial
signposts for grappling with the church's identity and calling as
an authentic, relational, missional community.
