Download or read book Augustus Toplady written by Douglas Bond and published by EP BOOKS. This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is one to make of a man described as 'strangely compounded, peculiarly constituted, and oddly framed'? It conjures up in the mind an image of Stevenson's Mr. Hyde, or Shelley's Frankenstein, or Hugo's Quasimodo. But such is J. C. Ryle's (1816-1900) description of Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778), author of what has been called the best-loved English hymn. One wonders why someone would bother writing a biography -- or reading one -- about a strange, peculiar, odd person. Nevertheless, Ryle declared that no account of Christianity in England in the 18th century would be complete without featuring the remarkable Toplady. Bond says that the purpose of the book is to 'pull back the shroud that has covered Toplady, to unmask the caricature that has shaped his memory as merely a raw-boned and harsh controversialist'. The reader is shown what we can learn from Toplady for today.

Download or read book Training Young Hearts for Christ written by Adam Murrell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people react negatively to the word "catechism," viewing it with suspicion in the belief that it involves rote repetition of obscure points of doctrine. But nothing could be further from the truth. While there is little doubt that memorization has been an overlooked method of teaching, there are good reasons why Christians should retain this ancient practice of instruction. Training Young Hearts for Christ is anything but a dry discussion of minute points of doctrine. Instead, Adam Murrell offers fresh, helpful insights into some of Christianity's most cherished catechisms by presenting gospel truths to a young and modern generation in plain language that makes this complex subject easily understood. In so doing, he reminds all of us of what God has done for his people in this world and in the one to come.

Download or read book Theology 101 in Bite Size Pieces written by Judy Azar LeBlanc and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The word 'theology' tends to lead people to think that it is only meant for seminarian scholars; however, the word speaks for itself by the sole definition meaning "the study of God's Word." This book takes a fresh look at God's Power, Character, Love, Nature, and what the finished work of Christ meant to the world in bite size portions. It offers scripturally based truths of some of the riches of His Divine Grace that include answers to thought provoking questions such as what is predestination; who are the chosen; the called, and the elect. The author uses everyday language to explain what it means to be justified, reconciled, forgiven, and offers a clear explanation of why practicing merited grace contradicts Christ's finished work on the cross."--P. [4] of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRISTIANS HAVE QUESTIONS about so many issues today that pastors and Bible teachers can't sufficiently address them all at precisely the time an answer is needed. 5 Answers will give Christians a basic biblical perspective on some of these common issues, and it will provide any serious Bible student with ample resources for further research. Nathan is a faithful pastor and an excellent teacher. As a man who is truly interested in following God, he recognizes the importance of knowing and understanding what God has said. In this book he tackles five difficult questions, and skillfully guides us to biblically based answers. John Turpin, Author of the book Victorious Faith 5 Answers would be a useful tool for a pastor to give someone who has questions and wants to find answers through personal Bible study or in a small group setting. When I was younger in the faith I sought resources like this to help me nail down precisely what I believed. It is an easy, yet informative read. Jimmy Hazlett, Worship Pastor at New Hope Baptist Church in Moreland, KY Many Christians struggle and are in search of answers to tough questions in the Holy Scriptures. Nathan Garnett has made your research easier by dealing with the most problematic areas of biblical truth. Darrell H. Hahn, Hospice Chaplain Pastors and seminary students want our work, even our academic writing, to be beneficial to our own souls and also to our churches and families. Unfortunately, much of our academic work usually provides little direct benefit to those whom we care about the most. To resolve this deficiency, Nathan has re-cast the produce of some of his best research into a more user-friendly format. Hes done this mainly with his family and church in his mind and on his heart. I think hes done us all a great service in the process. Chris Wilson, Pastor of Payneville Baptist Church in Payneville, KY

Additional features include key words and definitions at the end of each chapter, study questions, and practical exercises for applying the material. An appendix lists numerous resources for Bible study, including recommended commentaries for every book of the Bible.

In Amos, Hosea, and Micah, King offers an enlightening and elegant commentary on the eight-century prophets from an archaeological perspective.
Download or read book Festo Kivengere written by Frank Retief and published by EP BOOKS. This book was released on 2012 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kivengere was a man of his age. Neither he nor the churches around him were perfect. But they had experienced God in an unusual way. I do not think his theology would meet the robust requirements of today. He was a child of the Keswick movementChrist-centred, pietistic, devotional. His preaching was anecdotal and winsome. It might not fit in easily with much of the evangelical scene as it is today. Our day may demand more accurate theological thinking although we cannot deny that Festo did indeed read deeply, extensively and constantly in very solid theological material. Yet for all that, Festo Kivengere has a great deal to teach us about personal love for Christ, unflagging belief in the power of the cross to save people and great endurance to the end.
Download or read book A New Testament Biblical Theology written by G. K. Beale and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 1198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive exposition, a leading New Testament scholar explores the unfolding theological unity of the entire Bible from the vantage point of the New Testament. G. K. Beale, coeditor of the award-winning Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, examines how the New Testament storyline relates to and develops the Old Testament storyline. Beale argues that every major concept of the New Testament is a development of a concept from the Old and is to be understood as a facet of the inauguration of the latter-day new creation and kingdom. Offering extensive interaction between the two testaments, this volume helps readers see the unifying conceptual threads of the Old Testament and how those threads are woven together in Christ. This major work will be valued by students of the New Testament and pastors alike.
