Sinossi

Prophets and Messiahs explores the profound influence of spiritual leaders throughout history, examining how their messages have shaped faiths, inspired movements, and transformed societies. Diving into the intersection of religion and history, the book analyzes the nature of prophecy, the emergence of messianic figures, and the socio-political consequences of their movements. The book argues that prophets and messiahs serve as catalysts for social and cultural change, articulating the hopes and anxieties of their followers.

 
Beginning with a theoretical framework, the book progresses into case studies of specific figures, such as prophets in ancient Israel, Jesus of Nazareth, and the prophetic tradition in Islam. It identifies common themes and divergent patterns in their lives and legacies, using historical documents, theological texts, and archaeological findings.

 
The book ultimately discusses the ongoing relevance of prophecy and messianism, acknowledging their potential for both positive change and extremism. This approach makes complex concepts accessible and provides a nuanced understanding of these influential figures.

R A Torrey How to Pray...

Godlipress Team

What is the Biblical Way to Pray Effectively?
Most of us pray, but the truth is that our prayers are often shallow or produce no results at all, if any. Most of us mumble for a few minutes or cry out when we are desperate. Most of us just have lists that we bring before God and hope for the best. But there is more…
"How to Pray effectively” is a prayer classic that biblically guides even the most seasoned person of prayer into more profound, more significant prayer. It will renew your desire to seek God in prayer and guide you in best practices.
Filled with a spirit of graciousness, Pastor, Evangelist, and Author R. A. Torrey explains the elements of biblical, powerful prayer that avail much. Torrey reveals that there is more to it than just mouthing requests to God. There is more to prayer than reciting the Lord's Prayer or following a technique. It is a way to find the very heart and will of God and have faith to see Him move as a result of us on our knees.
"In Ephesians 6:18, we read words that show the incredible importance of prayer very clearly and forcefully: "Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints." When we really stop to understand the meaning of these words and their context, we will say, "I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and all my heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray! ...Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray!" ― R. A. Torrey

About the Story
Twenty-year-old Charley Austin travels a torn and troubled world as the star drummer and lyricist for the famous Christian rock band, DelivRus. He has musical gifts and a clear mission from God.
And that mission makes him a big problem for Lucky Zebul.
Zebul implements a sinister and depraved plan to crush the vulnerable rock star and put an end to the band’s Godly influence in the world.
Against a backdrop of societal upheaval, Road to Nineveh continues the story of Charley Austin (introduced in Book 3, The Snare) as he, like a modern-day Jonah, faces the harsh consequences of turning away from God’s purpose for his life and succumbs to pride and lust.
Follow the gripping, emotionally charged story as Charley performs in the bright lights with DelivRus across America and Europe, igniting hope and faith, while off-stage his soul is systematically smothered by the darkness.
Will the tough love of his parents, band mates, and Mia be enough to bring him back from a devastating scandal? Will he regain purpose for his life on a sun-baked Texas ranch, or for redemption, must he make one more trip to the Lighthouse on the misty Washington coast?
Road to Nineveh will appeal to fans of edgy Christian Thrillers or New Adult Thrillers.
Part #4 of The Lighthouse series, but written to be enjoyed as a standalone novel.

Be Transformed (John 13-21) -...

Warren W. Wiersbe

How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13-21, however, is Christ's teaching on the transforming power of joy—how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go. 
The more time the disciples spent with Jesus, the deeper their friendships became. The deeper their friendships became, the more they resembled Jesus' character. It was a preparation period for the new reign of the Holy Spirit, who would come to comfort and dwell within them. It was preparation for their callings—the Great Commission. The calling of God's people hasn't changed since then, but you will change as you apply the lessons of this commentary on the greatest teacher who ever lived—Jesus Christ—and hold onto the joy that never forsakes.

Rocky Mountain Rendezvous

Misty M. Beller

In 1837, Juniper Collins and her sisters are shocked by their father’s deathbed request for them to return a special set of beads to a Piegan Blackfoot woman he credits with saving his life during his travels West. Together, the sisters set out for the trapper rendezvous to find the woman,  
but their mission turns more daunting when they come upon the mass of men and lodges spread out in the Green River Valley. 
 
Riley Turner came West to find peace and quiet and live off the land, but when four unprotected women arrive at the rendezvous, he feels compelled to help them and is more fascinated by Juniper than any other woman he’s known. 
 
As their search brings only empty leads and dead ends, the sisters must decide whether to return East or stay in the mountains to continue looking—and that’s if the mystery woman is even still alive. Is the risk to honor their father’s last request worth the danger they find at every turn?
