Book excerpt: You know him as the rotund merry-maker in the red suit. But set aside the childhood myth. In this portrait, you’ll encounter the true St. Nicholas, a figure revered for his astonishing miracles and a humility that redirected all attention to God’s glory. You’ll be amazed to find St. Nicholas always turning up at just the right time—rescuing sailors from the certain death of a violent sea, saving three young women from a life of prostitution, and guarding an infant from the burns of a boiling bath. A tireless defender of God’s truth and His people, St. Nicholas’s wonderful and mysterious deeds illustrate, time and again, a heart for the weak, the poor, and the endangered—truly “the patron saint of practically everybody” and one of the most fascinating figures in all of Christian history. We learn about life through the lives of others. Their experiences, their trials, their adventures become our schools, our chapels, our playgrounds. Christian Encounters, a series of biographies from Thomas Nelson Publishers, highlights important lives from all ages and areas of the Church through prose as accessible and concise as it is personal and engaging. Some are familiar faces. Others are unexpected guests. Whether the person is D.L. Moody, Sergeant York, Saint Nicholas, John Bunyan, or William F. Buckley, we are now living in the world that they created and understand both it and ourselves better in the light of their lives. Their relationships, struggles, prayers, and desires uniquely illuminate our shared experience.

Download or read book The Church of St Nicholas written by John McQuillen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of St. Nicholas: With a Brief Sketch of the History of Newcastle It was no part of the original intention that St. Nicholas' Cathedral should exceed the space devoted to the articles of Among the Churches series, which for four or five years have been contributed to C ochmne's Monthly Maga zine. But on beginning to write the sketch, it was found that material was too abundant to be crowded into one part. The second article was written, with a like result. Investigation revealed a rich hoard of fact and history not generally known, and of much interest to every lover of the Metropolis of the North. So the solitary article ex pended into six parts, of which this book is composed. The facts and items have been collected from many sources, and with much search and groping among gthe relics of old time, and are made up from fragments of architecture, scraps of local records, and traditions from the books of worthy men of past generations, who, imbued with the true antiquarian spirit, sought to preserve to posterity the life, manners, and customs of the ancestral stock. Without much originality, but with a sincere desire to revivify the past, the detached and isolated references and chaotic atoms have been resolved into consecutive order, and aconsistent story has been compiled of the Mother Church of Newcastle, and of some of the influences and incidents which have gone to the moulding of Novocastrian charac ter and destiny, from the period when the waves of bar barism ebbed and flowed, to the close of the nineteenth century, when law and order prevail.
