The Victorious Generals & Their Powerful Secrets Revealed In an atmosphere of oppression and darkness, the reformers came with revelation from God and translations of the Bible into common language. Roberts Liardon will introduce you to six men who fought to reintroduce the beliefs and principles of the early church. John Wycliffe, “The Bible Translator,” who translated the Bible from Latin into English and was martyred for his efforts. John Hus, “The Father of Reform,” who longed to spread the gospel and urged people to “search the Scriptures.” Martin Luther, “The Battle-ax of Reform,” the monk turned reformer who found that man is saved by grace. John Calvin, “The Teaching Apostle,” who organized the church and urged people to serve God in all areas of life. John Knox, “The Sword Bearer,” the rough Scottish reformer who battled queens to gain the right to preach what he believed. George Fox, “The Liberator of Spirit,” the founder of the Quakers, who lived through persecution after persecution yet humbly shared the Holy Spirit with everyone he met. As you read about these men who sacrificed everything in their fight for God, and view the many revealing photos, you will appreciate the freedom you have to worship, find encouragement for your spiritual battles, and be motivated to find biblical truth for your own life.

Communion with God

Author: Kelly M. Kapic
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493449761
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268

Book Description
The recent resurgence of interest in the Puritan John Owen has resulted in increasing requests for Kelly Kapic's Communion with God, which was one of the books that helped foster renewed attention on this classic theologian. This book is now back in print with a new preface by the author. According to Kapic, a variety of people today are rediscovering Owen, including academic theologians, ministers from different denominational backgrounds, and laypeople interested in classic forms of spirituality. With this diverse audience in mind, Kapic focuses on the concept of communion with God in Owen's thought, covering key areas such as anthropology, Christology, trinitarian studies, and the Lord's supper. Kapic shows that Owen remains a rich dialogue partner for those engaged both in contemporary theology and pastoral practice.
