Book Description
Ladies of Gold: The Remarkable Ministry of the Golden Candlestick begins a three-volume compilation of the visionary teachings of Frances Metcalfe and the members of the Golden Candlestick, a Christian fellowship of individuals who lived in a California mountain community a little more than seven decades ago. They focused their spiritual lives on worshiping God and in making intercessory prayers for the nations. Touched by the vitality of the visions experienced by these remarkable ladies, James Maloney has undertaken the work to prepare this collection of their direct experiences of the presence of God and His messages for the world. In an extended introductory essay, “Who Were the Golden Candlestick?,” James Maloney answers that title’s question and places the group’s ministry in context. The main body of Ladies of Gold presents eleven visions Frances Metcalfe described as records of her times of rapture. If you share the concern of the Golden Candlestick and James Maloney for experiencing true worship of the Lord and for praying for the wellbeing of the nations or if you have an interest in exploring the history of religious experience in twentieth-century American culture, then Ladies of Gold: The Remarkable Ministry of the Golden Candlestick will give you substantial food for thought and inspiration for reflection.

The Lord in the Fires

Languages : en
Pages : 151

Book Description
Being refined in the fires of testing is not the most popular Sunday morning message, but Paul tells us: "Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy." (1 Peter 4:12) With the candor, insight, and humor that have become the hallmarks of his previous books, James Maloney presents a unique teaching on the concept of being baptized with fire. (Matthew 3:11) Rather than burn us to cinders, the Spirit of God wants to set us ablaze, to fashion His people into firebrands in His hand, instigating radical change in everyone around us by increasing their awe of the God we serve. The Lord in the Fires is like no other book you've read on intimacy with God, the fear of the Lord, and the testings of our faith. Jesus promises, "Everyone will be seasoned with fire." (Matthew 9:49) The question is: will you allow the Lord in the fires to increase your awe in Him, or will you let your circumstances burn you as chaff? This book helps answer that question.
