Amazing Grace Volume Three speaks about the life and work of the English evangelist Gary Punch. Gary Punch can be described as London's best loved evangelist, preaching the gospel of Christ to thousands of people on the streets of London in a professional, dedicated and caring way. This book is also a tribute to Gary's wife Susan Punch. I do hope you enjoy reading it!
There are as many paths to holiness as there are saints in Heaven...but Christians can't follow them all. Yet there's one thing every saint practices that anyone can imitate: the simple art of loving God, which the beloved St. Francis de Sales explains here. Under his wise guidance, readers will discover the secrets to growing holy through the simple things in life -- work, play, and rest. They'll learn to avoid the distractions (even the religious ones) that weary the soul...and they'll soon be able to focus all their energy simply on loving God.
Dated 1909, A dialogue took place between a man and his Lord, stretching beyond the imaginations of all and superseding the works of man Allama Iqbal raises a series of complaints titled; Shikwa. The East was swept back in total astonishment as the controversy had begun. But little did they know that where there is a complaint surely a response will follow and it sure did. 1913 was the year the Allama Iqbal reclaimed his lost glory with the much awaited responce publication of Jawaab-e-Shikwa. It was claimed a `masterpiece'. It would be unjust not to translate it and relay such a unique, classical piece of work of Iqbal's.
This book examines the foundation of the London Jews Society (LJS) in 1809, and the construction of Palestine Place in 1813 at Bethnal Green in East London. The early supporters of the LJS from 1815 were Anglican Evangelicals, including William Wilberforce and Charles Simeon. A mission centre was established at Palestine Place on a five-acre site, which incorporated an Episcopal Jews' Chapel; separate schools for boys and girls; staff houses; a missionary training college and a House of Industry, which provided work for converted Jews, especially by printing leaflets and books.
Christian Philosemitism is a new genre of research into the development of the positive response by Evangelicals towards the Jews from the Puritan era. Lewis Way has been chosen as the leading example of Evangelical Anglican philosemitism between 1810 and 1840. The London Jews Society (LJS) was founded in 1809, Way was actively involved from 1811 and his substantial financial gift rescued the Society from ruin in 1815. Christian Philosemitism developed from the Puritan period and was strengthened by the Readmission of the Jews in 1656. A new impetus was given at the end of the eighteenth century, when in the challenging context of the social, religious and political upheaval in England following the French Revolution the LJS was founded.

THE HOLY CLONE examines the claims of the Bible from the perspective of modern scientific progress. The outcome is a radically new interpretation of this old and familiar material. In recent decades, the profound broadening of our technological horizons has been accompanied by new academic and archaeological developments in biblical research. When these factors are put together, and related to events in recent history, it is proposed that a seemingly incredible and challenging view of the Bible begins to emerge. An awesome picture starts to form that promises to place traditional beliefs in a very new light. The advent of new technologies such as human cloning and time travel - and their potential implication - investigated in relation to this updated biblical scenario. This book is addressed to a general readership, and it offers an unprecedented and astounding new insight into enduring enigma of the Bible. When seen from our present viewpoint, biblical information strongly suggests that the prophesied return of Jesus Christ, and the retribution of the `Last Judgment', is already taking place in our own time; and that it is now possible that he is alive on earth today - in his actual flesh. The Bible states that Christ's initial return will be covert, and protected by the secrecy. This book also proposes that the traditional idea of the Holy Spirit may represent the effects of a created program that materialised with the Big Bang. These extraordinary and startling ideas are powerfully supported by new scientific, historical and biblical evidence. The book is illustrated by the author.
Most people, on hearing a quotation from the Bible whether in a church service, or elsewhere, would assume a serious face and seldom laugh. Yet this is not always the case. Father Ken Payne manages to draw on the amusing side of someof the Gospel passages.
In the tumultuous decades of rapid expansion and change between the American Founding and the Civil War, Americans confronted a cluster of overlapping crises whose common theme was the difficulty of finding authority in written texts. The issue arose from several disruptive developments: rising challenges to the traditional authority of the Bible in a society that was intensely Protestant; persistent worries over America’s lack of a “national literature” and an independent cultural identity; and the slavery crisis, which provoked tremendous struggles over clashing interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, even as these “parascriptures” were rising to the status of a kind of quasi-sacred secular canon. At the same time but from the opposite direction, new mass media were creating a new, industrial-scale print culture that put a premium on very non-sacred, disposable text: mass-produced “news,” dispensed immediately and in huge quantities but meant only for the day or hour. Perpetual Scriptures in Nineteenth-Century America identifies key features of the writings, careers and cultural politics of several prominent Americans as responses to this cluster of challenges. In their varied attempts to vindicate the sacred and to merge the timeless with the urgent present, Joseph Smith, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Martin Delany, Abraham Lincoln, and other religious and political leaders and men and women of letters helped define American literary culture as an ongoing quest for new “bibles,” or what Emerson called a “perpetual scripture.”
The message of Revelation speaks to Christians for all times, and historically has especially encouraged persecuted groups. Today Christians in many parts of the world are also at opposition to the worldview of the time. Revelation gives strength to those who are oppressed, and John R. Yeatts' commentary attends to themes of martyrdom, suffering, service in the world, hope, the triumph of Christ, and the role of the church in bearing witness to the triumphant Christ. The commentary includes clear biblical commentary, relationships between various portions of Scripture, and applications drawn from the Anabaptist tradition and the larger Christian community. 304 Pages.
Bill Vincent is an ordinary man with an extraordinary God. If what has happened to him is as great as he tells his story, then you know it will be visitations from above like no other. This book, Glory: Pursuing God's Presence, is one of three book series that are all about finding God and His presence. One day in 2008, Bill pressed into God with the attitude like I am going to get something from God. In so many ways, he was much like a wining child trying to get a toy from his parent. The feeling Bill felt that day was like being rescued in the desert after days with no drink. What began to happen to Bill has changed his life forever. Bill got to a place he couldn't wait to press in. It was like a romance between him and God. He was now in love with God. Bill would run up the stairs like I couldn't wait any longer to be with Him.
What is it like to raise the dead, heal the sick and drive demons out? Chris Grummitt was plunged into what seemed a lonely nightmare of a ministry but the simplicity of his new found faith carried him up to dizzy heights, which ultimately led to jealousies, suspicion and even worse; all for upsetting the status quo. The successes of his ministry were spectacular but so were the failings which caused great heartache and near depression. In this book Chris asks the questions. 'Do we all fail for Jesus in some way or another and if so why?' In doing so he asks us to re-evaluate our own response to the Grand Commission and this book is a must read for anyone contemplating service in the missionary field, either at home or in some far flung land.

Fr Boulad has also been involved with Caritas in the Middle East and has given many conferences in Europe, the Middle East and North America.
