As a seminary student studying Church history, Montanus intrigued me. As little as is actually known about him, and as castigated as he was, and still is, by Churchmen, he struck me as an important figure, even a true man of God. I said at the time that he was the one figure in Church history I would most like to meet and talk to. Four decades later, now as an aging pastor, I revisited the subject of Montanus, and once again, felt that he was a significant figure, one that must be consider...

It began with the breaking of the bread and became a movement.During a global Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Australian entrepreneur Philip Ryall and his wife Jennie invited more than sixty church leaders from various Christian backgrounds and denominations into their home.Like yeast leavening a loaf of bread, out of that meal grew a deepening inspiration for the book Dear Unity: Overdue Love Letters to Heal a Divided Church, a collection of t...

Any place, any time, and in a variety of circumstances, people may receive the experience which Jesus described to Nicodemus as being "born again" (Jn. 3:3). Jesus also told that Jewish elder that a definite sign would accompany each new birth: a sound produced by the Spirit. He said, "The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear its sound. . . . So is everyone who is born of the Spirit" (Jn. 3:8). In Acts, when men began receiving the Spirit, the stories of new birth which mention the so...

This is not a book about money. It is a book about the proper relationship of a pastor and his flock, both his responsibility toward them and theirs toward him. How to deal with God’s money is a necessary element of the discussion, but the more important issue is, how are we to deal with each other? Upon reading this manuscript, one lady commented, “Every sentence will be a new thought to God’s people.” That may not altogether be the case, but many of the sentences in this book certainly w...

As believers we can sometimes find ourselves in a place of perplexity when facing suffering or difficulty. We are at times left with more questions than answers. This position leads to frustration and has caused many to become very discouraged. During these moments, endeavoring to stay rooted and grounded can oftentimes be quite the task. This book has been written to help you find that peace which can seemingly elude us; when needed the most. My prayer is that you will be inspired as well...

Winner of an Abraham Lincoln Institute Book AwardThough not blind to Abraham Lincoln's imperfections, Black Americans long ago laid a heartfelt claim to his legacy. At the same time, they have consciously reshaped the sixteenth president's image for their own social and political ends. Frederick Hord and Matthew D. Norman's anthology explores the complex nature of views on Lincoln through the writings and thought of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary Mc...

You are hurting. You have suffered a crushing loss. You have been disappointed, misunderstood, betrayed. What are you to do? What are you to think? ---- I learned much about what to do during times of suffering from the old saints who led me to Christ. In turbulent times, I marveled at their steady spirits, their sincerity, kindness, and faith in the far of cruelty and skepticism. One example is worth a mountain of words. Of even more value than seeing good being done, however, is understa...

There are few areas of life where more harm has been inflicted on hurting souls by ministers themselves than in the turbulent and delicate area of marriage, divorce, and remarriage. I have seen hearts broken and homes divided by the misguided counsel of religious leaders – well-meaning men and women, certainly, but without the knowledge of God. “The wisdom that is from above”, wrote James, “is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, with...

Introduction "The boys" and I had not long begun our study of early American history when we read the diary of Mary Rowlandson. She was a young frontier wife and mother taken captive from her Lancaster, Massachusetts home and held for ransom by Indians. Her devotion to God during the ensuing months and her prodigious knowledge of the Scriptures impressed us. And our admiration of her deepened as we read of her humble repentance for relatively minor offences of her former life (such as pipe...
