An Unlikely Missionary Dispels the Myth That
Miracles Happen Only in Africa
Michele Perry may be an unlikely person to start a missionary
orphanage in war-torn Sudan. Born without her left hip and leg, she
is no stranger to overwhelming impossibility. She's learned from
childhood to rely fully on God, who constantly surprises her--and
she and her Sudanese children, more than one hundred of them, have
witnessed him moving in miraculous and wondrous ways again and
again.
Here she shares some of these amazing, inspiring stories. More than
that, she shows how readers can genuinely, fully experience God in
their everyday lives--whether in Africa or at home, wherever they
are. She helps them understand what he looks like, what it means to
hear his voice, what it's like to see a vision, and how to
recognize the holy in the ordinary. With these practical keys,
believers will be able to open the floodgates of life changing,
supernatural encounters with God.

This fresh study from an internationally respected scholar of the
Reformation and post-Reformation eras shows how the Reformers and
their successors analyzed and reconciled the concepts of divine
sovereignty and human freedom. Richard Muller argues that
traditional Reformed theology supported a robust theory of an
omnipotent divine will and human free choice and drew on a
tradition of Western theological and philosophical discussion. The
book provides historical perspective on a topic of current interest
and debate and offers a corrective to recent discussions.

Believe anything you want. The twentieth century has brought with
it a myriad of opinions, philosophies, doctrines and ideologies.
Each one of them important; each one valid. And the world says,
'Believe what you want.' Authors Wes Tracy and Stan Ingersol have
authored Here We Stand to shatter that conclusion. More than ever,
it is important that we know what we believe. Here We Stand is a
comprehensive study of a wide range of beliefs and where Nazarenes
fit into the ideological puzzle. Tracy and Ingersol provide the
most contemporary and complete overview of major religions and
religious beliefs since Why I Am a Nazarene . Nazarenes have the
unique opportunity to reestablish their identity with a new
generation of people. Here We Stand gives a clear view into other
traditions in a language and approach understood by today's pastors
and laymen. Here We Stand contributes to the distinctiveness of
each group without sacrificing the Christian community as a whole.
Pastors, Sunday School teachers and new Christians will find this
unabridged version of the book What Is a Nazarene? an excellent
resource because it lends a knowledgeable, objective voice to
discussions of doctrine, witnessing and spirituality. Here We Stand
provides the historical and theological background needed to
establish identity and ownership among new and life-long Nazarenes.
