LIFT UP YOUR EYES is a book of daily devotions written by a
Christian pastor who over a lifetime of ministry has come to know
the hungers and hurts, the hearts and hopes of humanity.
It consists of 374 one-page devotions chosen from over two
decades of religious columns written for the Saturday editorial
page of the Temple Daily Telegram, by the Rev. Clyde E. Nichols,
Minister Emeritus of the First Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ) of Temple Texas where he served as senior minister for 23
years from 1963 to 1986.
The book contains 365 devotions, one for every day of the year,
plus eight for movable holidays (Martin Luther King Day, Easter,
Thanksgiving, etc.). Each of the devotions is matched with a
carefully chosen memory verse from the Bible.
Using wonderful stories, humor, Scripture and anecdotes, this
book speaks to the real life situations we all confront and helps
us do a better job of meeting them. Each of the daily devotions is
calculated to lift the spirit, focus the mind, and bring a more
positive perspective on all we are facing. It is for young and old
alike-children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens.
Kept on the coffee table or night stand, LIFT UP YOUR EYES can
be read daily with one's devotions or picked up, opened anywhere,
and read two or three at a time for comfort, challenge, personal
growth, self-development and self-esteem.
To spend a year with LIFT UP YOUR EYES is to grow in the grace
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
War on the Saints is Jessie Penn-Lewis's masterwork, wherein she
outlines the occurrences of Satan within the Christian world, and
the eternal battle between good and evil. The book aims to prepare
and assist Christians who are caught unguarded against the
onslaught of evil and deception which has ensued for thousands of
years. In so doing, the reader will - assuming they heed the advice
upon these pages - be better equipped versus the various obstacles,
trickery and evils that Satan and his ilk will hurl in the path of
the righteous. Penn-Lewis firmly believed that the devil was a
master manipulator, with a keen knowledge of when and who to target
in his schemes. Several of the chapters within this book detail the
different techniques employed by Satan, and how to guard against
them. Quotations of Scripture abound, boosting the author's
authority and lending much credence to her arguments.
In Bill Vincent's more than 20 years of ministry, there has been
countless spirits and demons that he has personally been allowed by
God's grace to overcome in many people's lives. There have been
various kinds but none as dangerous as the spirit of Jezebel. This
book is as no other Bill has written because of the history of
dealing with this spirit so many times over the years. The Church
doesn't need to take this lightly. Bill brings this timely message
several ways to bring clarity. This book isn't just for light
reading, don't just skim the surface because there is much that the
Holy Spirit is releasing through this book. In the years, Bill has
learned a great deal more about this principality, this strongman,
and how it operates. After writing "Defeating the Demonic Realm"
Bill never thought he would be releasing a book this powerful again
concerning spiritual warfare. We need to understand failure to
address the weaknesses and sinful responses have wreaked havoc in
the lives of men and women everywhere. The Jezebel Spirit must be
overcome before it destroys you!
Many of the available resources for teaching courses on feminist
spirituality either come from the 1980s to 1990s or are written by
the same authors as those earlier texts, thus showing us a
progression of spiritual beliefs and practices of 'second-wave'
feminists. This is useful, but when addressing this topic with
university students it is also important to show the ways in which
spirituality has been rethought by 'third-wave' feminists. This
rethinking can be found in various small circulation 'zines, but
these are not always accessible to a wide audience. This anthology
addresses the experiences of third-wave feminists in the
construction and reformulation of spirituality. It examines the
experiences of young feminists and others who have been influenced
by second-wave feminist spirituality and engaged in developing and
critiquing themes of Goddess religion, queer theory, protest
movements, and popular culture.
The Reverend Clarence Larkin was one of the most widely influential
thinkers on end-times prophecies of the early twentieth century,
and his writings remain vital to appreciating the apocalyptic
Christian thought that today enjoys widespread popularity. This
1919 book serves as a study guide for the Book of Revelation, the
Bible's prophetic final chapter. Larkin explains the concepts of
the Beast and the False Prophet, the Seven Seals and the Seven
Trumpets, and the importance of the Book of Daniel in understanding
the Rapture. Charts and illustrations depict the "Pale Horse
Rider," "Daniel's Four Wild Beasts," "Egyptian Plagues Compared,"
and more. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Larkin's The Spirit
World, Rightly Dividing the Word, and The Second Coming of Christ.
American Baptist pastor and author CLARENCE LARKIN (1850-1924) was
born in Pennsylvania, and later set up his ministry there. He wrote
extensively and popularly on a wide range of Biblical and
theological matters.
