This book examines the hearings that followed Mormon apostle Reed Smoot’s 1903 election to the US Senate and the subsequent protests and petitioning efforts from mainstream Christian ministries disputing Smoot’s right to serve as a senator. Exploring how religious and political institutions adapted and shapeshifted in response to larger societal and ecclesiastical trends, The Reed Smoot Hearings offers a broader exploration of secularism during the Progressive Era and puts the Smoot hearings in context with the ongoing debate about the constitutional definition of marriage.

Just as undertaking a journey into an unfamiliar land or climbing a mountain requires an experienced and knowledgeable guide, so also an experienced and trusted spiritual guide, a mystagogue, is needed for the spiritual journey, to ascend Mount Sinai and encounter the mysterious God in its darkness, and to climb Mount Tabor and behold the mystery of the transfigured Lord, and to be initiated into the mysteries of the Jerusalem above, our Mother, the Church. The Orthodox Way is such a guide, a book that takes the listener into the very mystery of God, and now speaks to us.

Charles Capps teaches how God sees you, in His own image, and how that image God puts in His Word is the image you should have of yourself. This is so important, since it has been proven that what or who you imagine yourself to be determines your fate in life. Your self-image can carry you to heights of success or plunge you into the depths of defeat and despair.

John Heithoff tells the inspirational story of how a broken rosary helped him with his broken faith. Without a known purpose, this “tail” of a rosary was used in secret as a crutch to hold up John’s faith in the weeks following its mysterious discovery. Touching the crucifix in his pocket while making a simple plea for the safety of his daughter and her unborn twin girls gave John moments of hope in anxious times. Then one climactic weekend, the rosary tail served as a channel for prayer and heavenly intercession, manifesting to John its sacred purpose.

The last thing Jesus said before he left this earth was that it was better for him to go so the Holy Spirit could come. Why did Jesus make such a shocking statement to his disciples? Because the Holy Spirit provides with you power! The Holy Spirit’s present-day ministry is actually better than the limited ministry of Jesus on Earth. Jesus was only in one place at a time. But the Holy Spirit is in you and every believer, equipping the body of Christ to do the works of Jesus!

El Libro de los Jubileos es una obra hebrea perteneciente a los siglos I y II antes de nuestra era. Su nombre se debe a que las narraciones contenidas en él están sujetas a un sistema de periodos de jubileo de cuarenta y nueve años cada uno. Este texto canónico, o apócrifo para algunos, nos relata los acontecimientos del Génesis, enriquecido de manera extraordinaria con el imaginario popular judío, donde el autor trata de reproducir la historia de los tiempos primitivos en el espíritu de su época.

Throughout history, God has anointed the unqualified, empowered the weak, and chosen the least likely to change the world. The individual's ability is not what makes them powerful; they are empowered by the assignment—the mantle—they receive from Heaven. When these anointed people die, their mantles are left behind, waiting to be taken up by other Christians. Robert Henderson takes you a step further into the Courts of Heaven, revealing how spiritual mantles are reserved for the body of Christ, waiting to be accessed, received, and stewarded for supernatural results.

Why Be Catholic? is not exactly my journey, but it is the journey of the Church.

He explores the historic practices of the Christian church, demonstrating how they offer a holistic framework for everyday Christian discipleship and mission in the twenty-first century. The result is a book that not only invites all Christians back to the historic liturgy of the church, but also invites those already in liturgical churches to rediscover the missional life that has too often remained latent in their own traditions.

Andreas Sturm war seit Jahren einer der mächtigsten Kirchenmänner Deutschlands. Generalvikar in Speyer, verantwortlich für Tausende von Mitarbeitenden und für einen Millionenetat. Und er war immer stärker das Gesicht einer reformfähigen Kirche, bezog mutig Stellung zu Themen wie den Segnungen von homosexuellen Beziehungen oder dem Zölibat. Ein Hoffnungsträger, der aber selbst keine Hoffnung mehr hat. Und deshalb konsequent handelt: Andreas Sturm tritt aus der Kirche aus, weil er an Veränderung nicht mehr glauben kann.

The Old Testament is a most valuable book of scripture. It teaches and illustrates time and again what kinds of thinking and actions we need to avoid if we desire to remain firmly on the covenant path. And it teaches how to repent and return to Christ, whose arms of mercy are extended all the day long (Isaiah 65:2), inviting us to repent. In this third edition, noted teacher and gospel scholar David J. Ridges brings the Old Testament to life with his well-known teaching skills. It is much expanded over previous editions.
