Bestselling authors Bill and Beni Johnson help parents discover the
keys to successful parenting in God's kingdom through their
powerful book Raising Giant-Killers. "Parents, we rule for the
purpose of protection, but we also serve with the purpose of
empowering," they write. "We want to release our children into
their destiny--that's the privilege of parenting." In these pages,
you will gain the wisdom, kingdom concepts, and practical tools you
need to help raise your children to their God-given potential.
Christians must know that their lives with God can be full of new
experiences every day through the fullness of the Holy Ghost. In
this text, Jakes discusses ways to meet challenges and realize
one's full potential. (Practical Life)
A.J. Tomlinson (1865-1943) ranks among the leading figures of the
early Pentecostal movement, and like so many of his cohorts, he was
as complex as he was colorful. Arriving in Appalachia as a home
missionary determined to uplift and evangelize poor mountain
whites, he stayed to become the co-founder and chief architect of
the Church of God (Cleveland, TN) and the Church of God of
Prophecy, which together with their minor offspring now constitute
the third-largest denominational family within American
Pentecostalism. R.G. Robins's biography recreates the world in
which Tomlinson operated, and through his story offers a new
understanding of the origins of the Pentecostal movement. Scholars
have tended to view Pentecostalism as merely one among many
anti-modernist movements of the early twentieth century. Robins
argues that this is a misreading of the movement's origins-the
result of projecting the modernist/fundamentalist controversy of
the 1920s back onto the earlier religious landscape. Seeking to
return the story of Pentecostalism to its proper historical
context, Robins suggests that Pentecostalism should rightly be seen
as an outgrowth of the radical holiness movement of the late
nineteenth century. He argues that, far from being anti-modern,
Pentecostals tended to embrace modernity. Pentecostal modernism,
however, was a working class or "plainfolk" phenomenon, and it is
the plainfolk character of the movement that has led so many
scholars to mislabel it as anti-modern or fundamentalist. Through
the compelling narrative of Tomlinson's life story, Robins sheds
new light on late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century American
religion, and provides a more refined lens through which to view
the religious dynamics of our own day. v
