  Light from Old Times - Or...

  J.C. Ryle

  The nineteenth century was an age that witnessed great progress in many areas of exploration and learning. However, according to J. C. Ryle, it was an age of great ignorance too. “With all the stir made about education,” he wryly observed, “the ignorance of our own country’s history is something lamentable and appalling and depressing.” What particularly distressed Ryle was the scant knowledge of the English Reformation evident amongst his contemporaries. In this lay a grave danger: one of the reasons so many congregations drift from their evangelical foundations is their sheer ignorance of Christian history, and their lack of understanding of the major doctrinal controversies and why they matter. Therefore he taught that one of the best ways to stop Christians wavering “with every changing wind of doctrine” (Eph. 4:14) is to instill in them a deep love for Reformation and Puritan teaching, and a willingness to suffer for those gospel truths. The Bible often calls us to remember the past, Ryle explained, but the devil tries to make us forget. If the church is to be strengthened, then Christians must be persuaded to read the saints of the past and to learn the lessons of church history. 
  Ryle’s abiding hope for Light From Old Times is that our souls will be stirred to prayer and action by the great testimonies of Reformers and Puritans found within its pages, and then that we will dig deeper into the writings of these spiritual giants.

  The desire to know God intimately is the great challenge of the Christian faith. Yet, how many are willing to pray the deeply personal prayer that makes it possible - the prayer to be made like Jesus?Michael Phillips shares how he has taken up that challenge. Then, he examines key turning points in the life of Jesus that illuminate what it means for each of us to be conformed to the image of God’s Son and to love like Jesus, think like him, pray like him, and trust the Father like him.In some ways, this is a dangerous audiobook- dangerous to status-quo spirituality. For the journey toward Christlikeness may be painful. Yet, that journey leads to the ultimate purpose God intends for all his sons and daughters.After listening to Make Me Like Jesus, Bishop William Frey commented: “Michael Phillips offers a much-needed corrective to…superficial descriptions of the Christian life. He dares us to abandon all candy-coated versions of the gospel.”

  With the publication of his two early works, Black Theology & Black Power (1969) and A Black Theology of Liberation (1970), James Cone emerged as one of the most creative and provocative theological voices in North America. His books offered a searing indictment of white theology and society and introduced a radical presentation of the Christian message of our time. Combining the visions of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Cone radically reappraised Christianity from the perspective of the oppressed black community in North America. Fifty years later, his work retains its original power.
