What is Revival Glory? -- It is standing under the cloud and
ministering directly from the glory unto the people. -- It is
seeing into the eternal realm and declaring what you are seeing. --
It is gathering in the harvest, using only the tools of the Spirit.
-- It is, ultimately, the revelation of Jesus Christ. One cannot
have revival without the glory or the glory without having revival.
The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling Glory by the same
author.

Now I overcome evil in the name of Jesus. Smith Wigglesworth was
born in 1859. His family was very poor and he had to help support
them by working in a woollen mill twelve hours a day at the age of
six. In spite of his childhood work demands, he attended church
meetings with his grandmother, who had a great Christian influence
upon his life. It was at this very young age that he was led to
pray for others. At sixteen he became affiliated with the Salvation
Army and sensed God's call to pray and reach out for lost souls. He
saw hundreds being saved at meetings. During his ministry it was
confirmed that 14 people were brought back from the dead and
thousands more were saved and healed of their infirmities. His
messages are practical, to-the-point, and generously sprinkled with
his first-person accounts about events where God supernaturally
healed people. I have found Wigglesworth messages to be very
pertinent for defending myself from the demonic attacks confronting
all of us today.
Twenty Five, being one meditation and twenty four sermons, is
published as a celebration of Bob Heath-Whyte's twenty five years

church's year from the first Sunday in Advent to the Sunday of

While the French Revolution has been much discussed and studied,
its impact on religious life in France is rather neglected. Yet,
during this brief period, religion underwent great changes that
affected everyone: clergy and laypeople, men and women, Catholics,
Protestants and Jews. The "Reigns of Terror" of the Revolution
drove the Church underground, permanently altering the relationship
between Church and State. In this book, Nigel Aston offers a guide
to these tumultuous events. While the structures and beliefs of the
Catholic Church are central, it does not neglect minority groups
like Protestants and Jews. Among other features, the book discusses
the Constitutional Church, the end of state support for
Catholicism, the "Dechristianization" campaign and the Concordat of
1801-2. Key themes discussed include the capacity of all the
Churches for survival and adaptation, the role of religion in
determining political allegiances during the Revolution, and the
turbulence of Church-State relations. In this study, based on the
latest evidence, Aston sheds new light on a dynamic period in
European history and its impact on the next 200 years of religious
life in France.
First published in 1976, Paul Johnson's exceptional study of
Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive
research, writing, and magnitude--"a tour de force, one of the most
ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and
perhaps the most radical" ("New York Review of Books").
In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the
scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and
its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes
off in the year 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus
beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the
founding of a little-known 'Jesus Sect', A History of Christianity
explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With
an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the
fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the
people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and
varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible
as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of
modern Christianity--and its trials and tribulations throughout
history--has never before been contained in such a captivating
work.

In this widely acclaimed bestseller, the author of Small Victories tackles another explosive issue, this time race in America, by taking an in-depth look at the pastor of a thriving black church in one of New York's most desperate slums.
Poet and literature professor Scott Cairns ran headlong into his
midlife crisis - a fairly common experience among men nearing the
age of fifty-while walking on the beach with his Labrador. His was
not a desperate attempt to recapture youth, filled with sports cars
and younger women. Instead, Cairns realized his spiritual life was
advancing at a snail's pace and time was running out. Midlife
crisis for this this Baptist turned Eastern Orthodox manifested as
a desperate need to seek out prayer. Originally published in 2007,
this new edition of Short Trip to the Edge include photos, maps and
an expanded narrative of Scott's spiritual journey to the mystical
peninsula of Mt. Athos. With twenty monasteries and thirteen sketes
scattered across its sloping terrain, the Holy Mountain was the
perfect place for Scott to seek out a prayer father and discover
the stillness of the true prayer life. Told with wit and exquisite
prose, his narrative takes the reader from a beach in Virginia to
the most holy Orthodox monasteries in the world to a monastery in
Arizona and back again as Scott struggles to find his prayer path.
Along the way, Cairns forged relationships with monks, priests, and
fellow pilgrims.
This simple narrative is written as a memorial, first and foremost,
to the proven existence and faithfulness of GOD, the Father of our
LORD Jesus Christ, without whose Grace and Mercy I would have been
destroyed long ago. Secondly, I write to all those children and
young people who may for various reasons feel alone and adrift in
this life, that through the events and experiences here re-told
some, at least, might discover the Fatherhood of God and the
security of His Love for themselves. And lastly I write for Steven,
Michael, Elizabeth, James, Edward, Daryl, and Helen, that they too
might better understand the Great Love of God that brought us all
together.
The Revd Neville Barker Cryer is approaching 60 years as both an
Anglican priest and a Freemason. In "Belief and Brotherhood", he
explains why it is possible for a Christian of whatever tradition
to hold membership in both these societies. He has taken especial
care to address the criticism of two previous Anglican clergy, the
Revd Fr. Walton Hannah and the Revd John Lawrence, and to endeavor
to provide what the former of these writers called for, 'that no
intelligent answer to my case has been ever attempted'. It is hoped
that those who have followed in his steps may regard this as
intelligent enough. Not surprisingly, in the light of the other
books which Cryer has recently written, he has sought to show the
relation of the historical origin or development of the Craft to
the apparent difficulties of which its opponents speak. It is
therefore hoped that non-Masons and Freemasons of whatever personal
faith they hold will be able to understand and appreciate "Belief
and Brotherhood" afresh. Contents include: introduction; a little
bit of history; why is there concern?; the craft degrees and the
holy royal arch; the Christian orders; the additional degrees; some
issues of faith epilogue; and, an index.
Suffolk has been home to monastic communities since St Felix and St
Fursey founded the first monasteries in the seventh century, and
today the county is home to both awe-inspiring monastic ruins and
living communities of men and women devoted to prayer. This first
complete survey of the monastic history of Suffolk traces the
development of monasticism in the kingdom of East Anglia, its
recovery after Viking destruction, and the flourishing of an
extraordinary variety of communities in medieval Suffolk, ranging
from the immensely powerful Abbey of Bury St Edmunds to tiny
friaries and nunneries. The book examines the impact of the
dissolution of the monasteries and the survival of the monastic
dream, against all odds, in post-Reformation Suffolk. Finally, the
book surveys the revival of religious communities in modern Suffolk
to the present day, and provides a comprehensive gazeteer of all
past and present monasteries in the county.
