Summary

In "England's Antiphon," George MacDonald skillfully explores the intricacies of faith, identity, and the human experience through a series of poetic and philosophical reflections. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, this work employs a lyrical style that blends narrative prose with rich, allegorical poetry. MacDonald's unique ability to weave together personal belief with broader themes of societal and spiritual significance allows readers to engage deeply with his examination of the struggle between earthly limitations and divine aspirations, effectively placing the text within the larger context of Victorian spiritual literature. George MacDonald (1824-1905), a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister, profoundly influenced the realms of fantasy and literary imagination. His own journey through doubt, faith, and the challenges of the religious landscape in 19th-century Britain inspired him to articulate a vision of hope and reconciliation in his work. Raised in a devout family, MacDonald's experiences with both spiritual ecstasies and crises shaped his literary voice, embedding theological themes into his storytelling. "England's Antiphon" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of literature and spirituality. MacDonald's profound insights and magnetic prose invite readers to reflect on their journeys and consider the beauty of faith amidst adversity. This work remains a significant contribution to the literary canon, encouraging earnest exploration and contemplation.

    The Prayers of the Prophets explores how God reveals His power, mercy, and purpose through the prayers of His people.  
Rooted in Scripture and guided by faith, this book combines two profound expressions of divine communication: the model prayer given by Jesus Christ and the heartfelt petitions of the prophets who spoke on behalf of nations. 
The Lord’s Prayer, as presented by Jesus in Matthew 6:9–13, serves as a central model for Christian prayer. It demonstrates key principles for believers, including approaching God with respect, prioritizing His will, and relying on His provision, forgiveness, and protection each day.

What can we learn from Augustine about apologetics? This book shows how Augustine defended the faith in late antiquity and how his approach to engaging the culture has great significance for the apologetic task today. 
 
 
 
The Augustine Way recovers Augustine's mature apologetic voice to address the challenges facing today's church. It offers a compelling argument for Christian witness that is rooted in tradition and engaged with contemporary culture. The book focuses on Augustine's best-known works, Confessions and The City of God, to retrieve his scriptural and ecclesial approach for a holistic apologetic witness. 
 
 
 
This book will be useful for students, pastors, church leaders, and practitioners of Christian apologetics. It puts pastors and churches back at the center of apologetics, transcending popular contemporary methods with a view to a more effective witness in post-Christendom.

    Abraham Lincoln lived during what was likely the darkest hour in America’s history. Though that may seem hard to believe for those of us that are alive today and witnessing the wasting away of the America we love, Antebellum America (as it has been referred to since the Civil War) was an age of great darkness, division, and violence.  
There are a thousand lessons that emerge out of this challenging time in our great history. But, it’s the spiritual lessons that Eric draws upon for this series. How can we as Christians in a day and age, not altogether that far removed from those Antebellum days, successfully navigate through our own civil derangements and spiritual and moral meltdowns to eternally impact an anti-Christian world for the glory of Jesus Christ? Buckle your spiritual seat belts as we head back to an age when hope seemed lost and the seeds for a great Civil War were beginning to sprout with devilish petals and poisonous thorns. 
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

    Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a great Hindu guru, mystic, and devotee of Lord Hanuman. He is very well known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of prominent Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including spiritual teachers Ram Dass, and Bhagavan Das, and musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in India, and in Taos, New Mexico. Maharaji was a lifelong adept of bhakti-yoga and encouraged service to others (seva) as the highest form of unconditional devotion to God. 
 
There can be no biography of him. Facts are few, stories many. He seems to have been known by different names in many parts of India, appearing and disappearing through the years. His non-Indian devotees of recent years knew him as Neem Karoli Baba, but mostly as “Maharajji” – a nickname so commonplace in India that one can often hear a tea vendor addressed thus. Just as he said, he was "nobody". He gave no discourses; the briefest, simplest stories were his teachings. Usually, he sat or lay on a wooden bench wrapped in a plaid blanket while a few devotees sat around him. Visitors came and went; they were given food, a few words, a nod, a pat on the head or back, and they were sent away. There was gossip and laughter for he loved to joke. Orders for running the ashram were given, usually in a piercing yell across the compound. Sometimes he sat in silence, absorbed in another world to which we could not follow, but bliss and peace poured down on us. Who he was was no more than the experience of him. Here are his sublime life and teachings.
