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.
This book reveals whether there is a temple in heaven and what its
purpose is. Christ is revealed as our High Priest who intercedes
for us. This is the heart of the Seventh-day Adventist message.
Issues addressed include: Can we be sure there is a real temple in
heaven? What is the purpose of this temple? When does the judgement
start? Do we need to keep the Ten Commandments? Should we observe a
literal Sabbath? And much more. The heavenly sanctuary reveals
Jesus who ever intercedes for us (Hebrews 7:25). ""An extremely
thorough, engaging presentation of the framework of Seventh-day
Adventist beliefs."" - Kirkus Review
Brigham Young and Thomas L. Kane first met on the plains of western
Iowa in 1846 The Mormon prophet and the Philadelphia reformer would
go on to exchange more than one hundred letters over the next three
decades. This annotated collection of their correspondence reveals
a great deal about these two remarkable men, while also providing
crucial insight into nineteenth-century Mormonism and the
historical moment in which the movement developed. Until his death
in 1877, Young guided the religious, economic, and political life
of the Mormon community, whose settlements spread throughout the
West and provoked a profound political, legal, and even military
confrontation with the American nation. Young relied on Kane, 21
years his junior, as his most trusted outside adviser, making Kane
the most important non-Mormon in the history of the Church. In
return, no one influenced the direction of Kane's life more than
Young. The surviving letters offer crucial insights into Young's
personal life and views as well as his actions as a political and
religious leader. The correspondence reveals the strategies of the
Latter-day Saints in relating to American culture and government
during these crucial years when the "Mormon Question" was a major
political, cultural, and legal issue. The letters also shed
important light on the largely forgotten "Utah War" of 1857-58,
triggered when President James Buchanan dispatched a military
expedition to ensure federal supremacy in Utah and replace Young
with a non-Mormon governor. The Prophet and the Reformer offers a
complete reproduction of the exchange between Young and Kane, and
provides an introduction to each letter that contextualizes and
analyzes it.
