The Glad Tidings

E. J. Waggoner

Sinopse

E. J. Waggoner's "The Glad Tidings" presents a compelling theological reflection that combines exegesis with a pastoral appeal, addressing the intersection of faith and the human experience.

Waggoner's mastery of symbolic language and allegory provides a fresh lens through which readers can engage with scriptural texts, making complex theological ideas accessible to a broad audience. The work underscores the importance of understanding the gospel's transformative power in a rapidly changing world, inviting readers into a deeper relationship with divine grace. E. J. Waggoner, a prominent figure in the late 19th-century Adventist movement, was deeply influenced by the theological debates of his time, particularly those concerning law and grace. His commitment to addressing the challenges faced by believers fuels his writing, leading him to emphasize a message of inclusivity and redemption in "The Glad Tidings." With an educational background in both theology and a keen awareness of contemporary societal issues, Waggoner's insights reflect his dedication to fostering spiritual growth and understanding. This book is highly recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian theology and the core message of salvation. Waggoner's engaging narrative serves not only to enlighten the mind but also to inspire the heart, making it an essential read for both laypersons and scholars alike.

HELL IS A BAD WORD - A Place of...

Michael Bahry

It is often said that “no one spoke more about hell than Jesus.” 
This book examines the words of the Savior of the World to see if that statement is true. 
What if the teaching that there is a place of never-ending punishment is the result of bad translations and bad interpretations of things Jesus said? 
And what if the teaching that there is a “hell” was not passed on by the original disciples? 
Is never-ending torment consistent with what Jesus said about love and forgiveness? 
What if Catholics and Protestants are both wrong; that hell is not a place of never-ending torment for everyone outside the Church? 
This book will bring you to a place of humility and peace about the topic of “hell.” 
You will no longer be burdened with worry about never ending punishment for people of other faiths or for loved ones who have died outside the Church. 
After this book, your focus will be on loving God and loving even your enemies. 
Undoubtedly, you will be compelled to share the very good news, that Jesus truly is the Savior of the world.

A Tale of Death and Glory - The...

Saint Ambrose of Milan

In his illustrious life, Saint Sebastian was the senior commanding officer of the elite forces for the greatest military power on the planet—the Roman Empire. By his glorious death, he became a commander in the greatest military power in the universe—the communion of saints of the Roman Catholic Church. 
Throughout the Church’s history, countless martyrs have offered their lives to Christ rather than deny Him. One of the most revered is Saint Sebastian, and for this, his name appears in the Roman Canon. A native of Milan, Saint Sebastian was the primus pilus, the senior centurion of elite soldiers in the Roman army who commanded eight hundred of the best soldiers in the world’s greatest military at the time. Taking the same ethic for the spiritual battle as he did for the empire’s battles, Saint Sebastian worked tirelessly and inconspicuously to strengthen other Christians, especially during the cruel persecutions and martyrdoms of the third century. 
The heroic examples of Saint Sebastian and his companions inspired others to follow the Lamb of God, even to the point of death, giving their lives as holocausts to the one, true living God rather than worship devils. It is only fitting that another great saint from Milan, Saint Ambrose, detailed the courage and fidelity of these brave soldiers. A Tale of Death and Glory will compel you to stay firm in your faith amidst the growing threats of persecution from secular authorities and to seek heaven with renewed vigor, for “this earthly life passes quickly, like a fleeting dream.”
