One of the most influential spiritual books ever penned, even secular historians acknowledge the great impact Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ has had in Christian history. Madame Guyon is generally credited, even by her enemies, as being one of the best-known women in church history. Will Durant, in his Story of Civilization, recounts the impact of Jeanne Guyon's life and writings on French history. At one time this book was publicly burned in France and yet it has also been received by seeking Christians as one of the most helpful and powerful Christian books ever written. Penned by one of Christianity's most famous saints, Jeanne Guyon, it has played a major part in the lives of more famous Christians than perhaps any other Christian book. Here is the very first edition written in modern English.This book will introduce you to a whole new-and deeper-relationship to Jesus Christ.
The name Fenelon has stood for spiritual depth and insight for 300 years. Seeking Christians throughout the years have turned again and again to his writings for guidance and help in their quest for a deeper walk with Christ. Here are his works and letters for those who have a seeking heart.
Pain suffered by a Christian at the hands of another believer is one of the most destructive experiences one will ever know. Few recover completely. Many are destroyed from effective Christian living forever.
Gene Edwards has crafted a beautifully and wholly unique book which points the wounded Christian to healing and to full restoration, even to triumph and ascension. If you have ever experienced unjust treatment from another believer, this monumental literary work is for you. From exquisite agony your life can enter into that of resurrection.
There have been more copies of this book burned than perhaps any other single Christian book ever published.
So powerful was its influence on Europe that within 6 years of its release this book had been translated into every language in Western Europe. In Naples, Italy it was said that 20,000 Christians gathered in small groups to practice inward prayer.
Michael Molinos came closer to reforming the Catholic church than any other single man in history, yet he ended up sealed in a dungeon, his book condemned. A man so controversial that even until today the Vatican will not release the transcript of his (secret) trial. Now for the first time ever, this book appears in modern English, the first English-language release in over a hundred years.
Jeanne Guyon was born in south-central France in the mid-1600s. Her writings and her ministry knew a brief period of popularity, making her a friend even of the wife of Louis XIV. She greatly influenced the life of Fenelon, one of the two most famous clergymen in France's history and she earned the wrath of the other, Bosuet. The conflict between these two giants over her teachings led to her disgrace in the king's court and then her imprisonment. Three hundred years later she is still one of the most influential people in the lives of those who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
Within the pages of this book, you will find spiritual insight and counsel from church history's best known woman. Her words speak to you of how to know your Lord intimately.
You will come away from this book with more understanding of practical ways of walking with your Lord, by means only Jeanne Guyon is capable of giving you. Guyon lights up the precious and powerful value of fellowshipping, not only with your Lord, but with other believers. This book will meet you where you are and lead you on to a higher place in Christ.
If you wish to know your Lord in a deeper way, you are invited to join the vast host of Christians who, over three centuries, have turned to this book more than any other--except the Scriptures--in order to begin that journey to the depths of Christ.
Imagine a book that is 300 years old and has never been out of print! Such is the book you hold in your hands. Other than Pilgrim's Progress, there is probably no other piece of Christian literature that has stood the test of the centuries so well. An estimated 22 million copies of the original The Practice of the Presence of God have been printed in the English language alone. In recent years, however, interest in this book has waned as the original English edition became so outdated that it was virtually unreadable. The publishers have now revised and reissued this book under the title Practicing His Presence and the profundity, depth, and beauty of Brother Lawrence's masterpiece lives again!
We have included in this edition, not only the letters of Brother Lawrence--from the 17th century--but also those of Frank Laubauch--from the 20th century--who, like Brother Lawrence before him, wrote a series of letters chronicling his experiences in practicing the presence of Jesus Christ.
The best way to describe this book is to say that it is Volume II of Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ.
The King of France ordered Jeanne Guyon to appear before the Archbishop Bossuet for interrogation, an event that would determine her imprisonment. She decided to present Bossuet a clear statement and defense of her teachings. The result was a massive three-volume work entitled Justifications.
Justifications never appeared in English and was virtually forgotten. This book is a careful selection of some of the very best material found in that original three-volume work.
Not what you expect. This look inside a first-century meeting will make you rethink what (or who?) the church really is.
From a religious point of view the whole meeting left a lot to be desired. What had happened contained scarcely anything religious at all. They didn't even have a priest, let alone all the ritual that you expect. This wasn't quite what I had bargained for. Neither decently ritualistic nor exotically mysterious. All very simple and matter of fact.
This is the incredible story of the journey undertaken by two men. Paul and Barnabas left their homes and risked their lives to cross seas and mountains. They were shipwrecked, beaten and faced the threat of robbery and murder. They were almost killed by floods and spent sleepless nights exposed to storms and freezing mountain temperatures. They travelled to places which had never heard the gospel and brought Jews and Gentiles to Jesus. The Silas Diary takes the hints and verses of the New Testament, adds the discoveries of modern archaeology and research and tells the story that led to the writing of the letter to the Galatian churches.
This book is the story behind Paul's most incendiary letter. Why was he so angry? Why did he write this incredible letter which tells us so much about the Lord's grace? After reading the Silas diary the letter to the Galatians will never be the same again.
Read the story of Christ's birth from a while new vantage point...from the viewpoint of Heaven. The Birth is the third in the series The Chronicles of Heaven written by beloved storyteller Gene Edwards.
The Birth has become the most popular rendering of the Bethlehem story. The drama begins in the eternals. Just before the birth of John the Baptist, the skies had turned to brass. Michael and Lucifer battle in an unforgettable duel, as Michael rips open the brass to allow prayers of Elizabeth to ascend to the throne. From that point on the story never lets up. An edge-of-your-seat saga of the Christmas story like you have never read!
Jeanne Guyon was a woman who understood the cost of the words: For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
The influence Jeanne Guyon has never wavered with the passing of centuries. Three hundred years later she is still one of the most influential people in the lives of those who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
In reading this book you will notice that Jeanne Guyon presents a more inward, Christ-centered perspective than is usually found in our present-day concept of Christian commentaries. Here is her commentary on the book Song of Songs as seen from the principles and dynamics of the deeper Christian life.
You are about to enter the boundless realm of the eternals, there to view earth's events from Heaven's view. You will join angels as they behold our world and discover God's most profound reasons for creating. And in it all, the scriptures come alive in three-dimensional living color. The reading of your bible will change forever as you pass through the portal which allows you to become part of The Chronicles of Heaven.
The author began reading his New Testament chronologically while still in his youth. Now, Revolutionary Bible Study brings us the result of a lifetime of that exploration. Expect to visit every year of Century One, the main events of those years, and every person who played a major role in shaping Century One.
In Letters to a Devastated Christian, Gene Edwards explores the different techniques practiced by Christian groups who demand extreme submission and passivity from their members. The book's final chapters include some very personal and practical letters to those who have left such groups only to be faced with the difficult task of dealing with bitterness and resentment and rebuilding their faith and trust.
A rip roaring, hair raising, edge-of-your-chair saga of the first-century believers. From the day of Pentecost, on through the first seventeen years, every historical figure of that age is there: alive, vivid, believable.
The book of Acts is there; ancient history is there; men secular and sacred come alive An historical cliff-hanger written like a novel.
There is not another book on the first century like it in print. The story of the early church, the word of God in century one is once more alive, down to earth and thrilling. A new dimension in first-century history.
The Chronicles of Heaven, literary epic, continues its story in Exodus. The escape opens with God calling out to an uncircumcised heathen names Abraham to play his part in the vast tapestry of God's eternal plan. As The Escape unfolds, Christ is shown to be the very center of all that God is doing.
All that you behold is seen through Heaven's eyes. Here is a new way to encounter a revelation of the story. Enter a wonderland that unveils Heaven's hidden mysteries.
Based on the book of Acts this is the story of the Apostle Paul's third journey. Told through the eyes of Paul's companion Timothy this is the tale of the journey to Ephesus and Paul's time in the city. Unlike his earlier journeys the third journey is spent mostly in one city where Paul not only raises up a church but trains young men to take on the mission of raising up the next generation of churches after his death. This is also the story of the church in Corinth and Paul's letters to that riotous, chaotic gathering. In those letters we see more of teh life of a church in the meetings of the first century, meetings that look completely like our own.
The cross, suffering, transformation, and God's ultimate purpose are the issues that unfold in this unique book by Gene Edwards. Though written for the new believer, it speaks with a depth and newness that will arrest even the most mature believer.
A story that traverses time, space and eternity to deliver its beautiful, moving and profound message, while pioneering a new style of exceptional Christian literature.
Come, take my hand. Together let us go into God...into the very center of God Himself.
Gene Edwards thus takes you on a journey into God, there to explore the invisibles.
You will discover that the center of God is Christ...at a time before Christ created. Be there with Him before He created. You will discover there is much which Christ did before He created. Watch as He passes farther into the eternals. Here is Christ before angels, Christ even before nothingness, and Christ the One who is all.
What is it like to become familiar with seeing the unseen, to live in, to think in and to comprehend another realm, with no up, no down, no space, no time...a place before time, mass or dimension? Meet a transcended Lord outside the space-time continuum, a Lord free of the fetters of creation.
Journey with your Lord who lives in the eternal now.
No subject has been more neglected (and needed) than that of understanding - and touching - the invisibles.
