Beschreibung

In "A Voice of Warning," Parley P. Pratt presents a compelling treatise that intertwines spiritual conviction with a fervent defense of the Latter-day Saint faith. Written in a lucid and engaging literary style, the work employs persuasive rhetoric and scriptural references, effectively appealing to the intellect and emotions of its readers. Pratt addresses the burgeoning tensions of 19th-century America, reflecting the socio-religious landscape of a nation grappling with issues of faith, identity, and divine revelation. This book stands as a significant contribution to religious literature, championing the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints against contemporary skepticism and offering an impassioned call to repentance and truth-seeking. Parley P. Pratt, a foundational figure in the early days of Mormonism, served both as a missionary and an elder. His profound experiences, including missions across America, England, and the Pacific, deeply influenced his spiritual and literary output. Pratt's commitment to the Latter-day Saint movement emerged during a time of rapid growth and fierce opposition, shaping his desire to articulate the church's message and defend its tenets against prevailing cultural challenges. "A Voice of Warning" is highly recommended for those interested in religious history, theology, or the dynamics of American faith movements. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the origins and beliefs of the Latter-day Saint tradition will find Pratt's work both enlightening and thought-provoking, offering a rare glimpse into the convictions that motivated one of the faith's most passionate advocates.

    Is your church a rowboat church or a sailboat church? 
     
     
     
    Rowboat churches depend largely on human effort. When church budgets shrink and membership declines, rowboat churches frantically row harder against a current, often frustrated and disappointed at their efforts. Sailboat churches, on the other hand, take up the oars, hoist sails, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them. 
     
     
     
    Arguing that churches should be "sailboats," Joan S. Gray encourages listeners to shift concern from the many daily, practical concerns of their local church to fresh ideas that can be found using the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The book includes forty days of sailing prayers, quotes from Scripture, brief reflection questions, and an extensive bibliography that is arranged by theme. Perfect for groups to listen to together, this book will help leaders reframe their church's mission and practice with the Holy Spirit as their guide.

    The world wants to make us into its image. The cares and pleasures of this life demand our hearts' devotion. We are always in the process of being transformed. We become like what we worship—which means we will find true rest only as we worship Christ and become more like him. In his revised devotional work, Kris Lundgaard invites us to forsake unfulfilling idols and set our hearts on adoring Christ instead. Drawn by the wisdom of Puritan John Owen, this book is a profound call to contemplate Christ—his person, work, and love—in new and deeper ways, so that you are challenged and changed. Readers praise The Glorious Christ (formerly Through the Looking Glass) as a useful resource for group study as well as private meditation. Discover the eternal value of beholding the glorious Christ, who is worthy of all our worship.

    The Men We Need - God's Purpose...

    The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a "real man" is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that's not really the point of being a man and it's not the purpose for which men were made. 
     
     
     
    Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: "Keepers of the Garden." Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including "avid indoorsmen" like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have. 
     
     
     
    Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant's signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to listen.
