Scriptural Christianity

John Wesley

Sinossi

John Wesley (1703-1791) was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. The societies he founded became the dominant form of the independent Methodist movement that continues to this day.Throughout his life, Wesley remained within the established Church of England, insisting that the Methodist movement lay well within its tradition. In his early ministry years, Wesley was barred from preaching in many parish churches and the Methodists were persecuted; he later became widely respected, and by the end of his life, was described as "the best-loved man in England".Preached at St. Mary's, Oxford, before the university, August 24, 1744, the Wesley’s Sermon Scriptural Christianity was originally published in a separate pamphlet, accompanied by the following address "to the reader", to which was affixed the author's signature: «It was not my design, when I wrote, ever to print the latter part of the following Sermon: But the false and scurrilous accounts of it which have been published constrain me to publish the whole, just as it was preached; that men of reason may judge for themselves».

Kimberley Woodhouse

Her music captivates crowds. His mission exposes secrets. Their courage defies a dictator.

Against the simmering backdrop of impending war, blind virtuoso pianist Chaisley Frappier embarks on a concert tour through a rapidly changing Europe. When she learns that Hitler's regime of injustice is targeting other disabled people, Chaisley realizes she is in a prime position to help those who are threatened reach safety. But the Führer's growing fascination with the celebrated musician endangers her undercover mission and forces her to walk a tightrope between her fame and her calling.

When Rick Zimmerman receives his next assignment from the British Secret Intelligence Service, he is surprised to learn he'll be acting as the personal driver of a world-renowned pianist as she tours Europe. The role gives him the perfect cover to complete missions of sabotage and intelligence-gathering, but he soon suspects the brilliant, alluring pianist has secrets of her own. As Chaisley and Rick confront evil at every turn, it will take every bit of faith and courage they possess to triumph over hate--and survive.

Loved - A Mountain-Moving...

Anna Pranger

Loved - a timeless message to reveal the very essence of God. The mysteries of His nature are uncovered throughout history as we see the word "Love"; the greatest commandment and one pursued in every religion and culture. Though Love is often defined, the goal of this book is to give it a face and a name by answering the question, "who is Love?"
The enemy has assaulted the body of Christ with lies, fear, and division. We know throughout scripture that perfect Love casts out all fear. Love is the answer to overcoming hate and division. Each chapter will challenge readers to look within and overcome the bias that has swayed their belief in the Creator. Through an inner healing journey, the reader will not only be overcome with gratitude for the Savior, but overcome with Love. The character of Love will become personal, real, and tangible instead of solely a belief or vacillating (or indecisive) idea.
Loved has endless depth and will encourage the reader to pick up the Word of God and find the answers we are all searching for. The message of this book is counter-cultural as it proposes the simple question of "who is Love" and "how do I meet this riveting entity."
About the Author:
