John Foxe's ground-breaking chronicle of Christian saints and
martyrs put to death over centuries remains a landmark text of
religious history. The persecution of Christians was for centuries
a fact of living in Europe. Adherence to the faith was a great
personal risk, with the Roman Empire leading the first of such
persecutions against early Christian believers. Many were
crucified, put to the sword, or burned alive - gruesome forms of
death designed to terrify and discourage others from following the
same beliefs. Appearing in 1563, Foxe's chronicle of Christian
suffering proved a great success among Protestants. It gave
literate Christians the ability to discover and read about brave
believers who died for expressing their religion, much as did Jesus
Christ. Perhaps in foretelling, the final chapter of the book
focuses upon the earliest Christian missions abroad: these, to the
Americas, Asia and other locales, would indeed see many more
martyrs put to death by the local populations.

This book is inspiring to all ages and very beneficial to young
adults and teenagers, who will learn and educate themselves towards
situations and conditions we all face from day to day, and boldly
be able to deal with them, solve some of them and sidestep most of
them and be on the right roads to success or improvement, with
respect for others and receive respect from others. There are
things which we know and have to do and yet we fumble with how, and
what to get them done, because we think that we can do it without
using instructions, or forget by not using the guidelines. So we
need the reminder to remember not to forget to "Place Yourself" at
the top, the middle, or the bottom but don't stay there.VICKLYN

J. C. Ryle's classic guide for Christians, wherein he outlines the
principles of sin, sanctification, spiritual growth and the
importance of Christ is published here complete. The spiritual
excellence displayed in J. C. Ryle's writings cannot be
underestimated: a lengthy introduction tells us the seven
aspirations which Ryle holds when teaching his fellow Christian.
Delving into great detail to explain each aim, and supporting his
statements by citing scripture, the author displays an impressive
devotion both to the Lord and to all believers who choose to read
his words. Moses is identified as being foremost among God's
saints, standing among the best examples of men ever lived. His
surrender of a high ranked position, his abstentious attitude to
worldly pleasures and wealth, and his opting for an ascetic life
full of hardships and pain in service of the Lord are mentioned.
Moses' followers were despised by others, yet he took up and
ultimately proved their cause.

Do Not Be Deceived is a redemptive-historical,
presuppositional-apologetical Christian Worldview response to the
three perspectives of the Gay Theological Worldview (Liberal,
Evangelical, and Queer). It addresses the flawed epistemological
foundation, as well as the hermeneutical errors, of this growing
movement and provides a thorough exegesis of the relevant Biblical
texts on human sexuality.
The call of Deep Church is not just for theologians and church
leaders; it is also about each individual Christian experiencing
and knowing that Jesus rescues from the depths and changes them
deeply In this book Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing explore the concept of
Deep Church in a 21st-century context. They argue that a missionary
congregation needs to be deeply evangelical and evangelistic,
deeply reliant on the power of the Holy Spirit, deeply engaged with
its surrounding culture and community, deeply realistic about its
limitations and temptations, and deeply convinced of its faith, in
the face of all other worldviews and alternatives. Deep Church is
about restoring the heart of the Christian faith within a rapidly
changing and demanding culture, without lurching from one new
methodology to another, rescuing today's church from unnecessary
disillusionment, and wholeheartedly embracing Christ and his
Kingdom.
