Author and public intellectual Orestes Augustus Brownson wrote this
lively commentary on the history of Christianity as the religion
became more established in the United States. The rapid
establishment of new churches and congregations upon the frontier
was a feature of the westward expansion in North America during the
19th century. Writing in 1836, Brownson offers a vivid history of
the religion in the context of its establishment in the USA, his
views upon its beliefs and core philosophies, and whether the
church of his day accurately reflects the original teachings of
Jesus Christ. Written as a narrative from a perspective of a man in
search of spiritual fulfillment, New Views of Christianity sees
Brownson draw contrasts and distinctions between different
denominations and groups who term themselves Christian. He goes on
to identify several important areas where religion has historically
been influential - education in particular is highlighted as being
of great importance.
Does the thought of doing evangelism fill you with fear and make
you want to run for the door? Do you struggle to find motivation to
share your faith? Have you had uncomfortable experiences with
evangelism that you would rather not repeat? If so, this book is
for you. God's Dream will take you on a journey to discover the
purpose God has for you in fulfilling his dream. It will inspire
you to try evangelism again no matter what your previous
experiences have been. "This is the best book I have read on
evangelism in the past ten years." Derrick, YWAM Missionary. "For
many, God's Dream will redeem the concept and practice of
evangelism. It is practical and theologically thorough." David
Webster, MA, Eastgate Church Director. "This book is a real tonic
for all of us who feel out of our depth with the big 'E'. Laced
with brilliant real life stories and examples of how easy
evangelism can be when we partner with the Holy Spirit." Mark
Hendley, Director of The Stones Cry Out. Today, more people are
becoming Christians than at any other point in history, but in
modern western culture, relatively fewer people come to know God
and many Christians struggle with evangelism. Through their
personal stories and those of others, Mark and Fiona question why
this is. They look afresh at evangelism and reimagine it from God's
perspective. They consider what can be learnt from how Jesus did
evangelism, and how he introduced people to the good news of the
kingdom. Visit www.godsdream.info to find out more about the
