Book Synopsis The Loveliness of Christ by : Samuel Rutherford
Download or read book The Loveliness of Christ written by Samuel Rutherford and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like so many saints before him, Samuel Rutherford did his best work while he was imprisoned for the gospel. While in exile from his hometown, he wrote hundreds of letters to his friends and members of his congregation. These letters were treasured up and printed several years after his death in 1661. From this, "the most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed churches can show," Christians of all walks have drawn strength. The Loveliness of Christ is a collection of short excerpts from these letters "in which some of Rutherford s most helpful thoughts are allowed to stand out in their unadorned wisdom and power. Those familiar with Andrew Bonar's great nineteenth-century collection of the Letters of Samuel Rutherford will feel that this setting of brief quotations makes Rutherford's words sparkle like diamonds on a dark cloth in a jeweller's shop. We hope that you, in meditating on these pages, will find here help, comfort, wise counsel, and spiritual compass, and to say with Rutherford, 'Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom'" (Sinclair Ferguson, foreword to previous edition).

Book Synopsis Lex, Rex, Or the Law and the Prince by : Samuel Rutherford
Download or read book Lex, Rex, Or the Law and the Prince written by Samuel Rutherford and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reverend Samuel Rutherford wrote Lex, Rex to defend and advance the Presbytarian ideals in government and political life, and oppose the notion of a monarch's Divine Right to rule. Writing in the 1640s, Rutherford lived in a time of political tumult and upheaval. The notion of Divine Right - whether a monarch ruled with the authority of God - was under increasing question. The steadily waning power of the monarch, increasing rates of literacy and education, and enfranchisement of classes that followed the Renaissance bore fruit in demands for governmental reform. No greater were these trends felt than in England, whose Parliament had over centuries gained power. Shaken to its foundations by the aftermath of religious Reformation in the 1500s, the authority of the monarch was under great scrutiny. The follies of absolute power, whereby one ruler had capacity to take decisions affecting the lives of millions, were now an active source of agitation and discontentment in both the halls of power and amid the wider populace. The luxuries and excesses of King Charles I, and the resultant taxes, were likewise cause for agitation. Lex, Rex would prove a forerunner to the Enlightenment era theories of democratic government and the notion of a government for the people. It demolishes the notion of divine right by referring to the actual tenets of the Biblical Old Testament. Most poignantly of all, Rutherford proposes a series of radical reforms such as the establishment of a Constitution, and the delegation of rights to the population to rule themselves; a measure foretelling 'small government' philosophies that followed. The book is organized into forty-four questions, each of whom considers and answers common arguments of the author's fractious era. Rutherford's ideas were in direct contravention to the monarchic societies in Europe at the time. They undoubtedly gave the Parliamentarian movement, and educated Republicans in general, a sound scholarly ground with which to begin the English Civil War and enact long-lasting reforms. The questions answered in Lex, Rex - persuasively, convincingly and explosively as they were - would lead England on the road to enshrining its own Parliamentary democracy.

Book excerpt: On the evening of May eighteenth, a young woman named Cass walks alone into the small village of Chimney Rock, North Carolina, intending to stay for exactly one year. She is in search of somewhere with peace, a place where she can safely picture herself and escape, shielding herself from recollections of the past. Cass soon meets two precocious children, their mother, a caring and generous business owner, and the neighboring town’s chief of police. Family and loss make up many of their stories, and while these people and others attempt to get to know and help Cass, the history and troubled memories of what led her to this place begin to gradually unfold. As the date of her planned departure approaches, the potential for love and a path to healing become clearer. Cass and those around her must decide how forcefully they are willing to hold on: to the past, to the pain, and to the person. This novel examines the true test of strength in the deepest depths of sorrow and reminds us of the overwhelming power of comforting influences in all of our lives, as our human souls struggle, against all odds, to survive.

Book Synopsis Fraud of the Century by : Roy Jr. Morris
Download or read book Fraud of the Century written by Roy Jr. Morris and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major work of popular history and scholarship, acclaimed historian and biographer Roy Morris, Jr, tells the extraordinary story of how, in America’s centennial year, the presidency was stolen, the Civil War was almost reignited, and Black Americans were consigned to nearly ninety years of legalized segregation in the South. The bitter 1876 contest between Ohio Republican governor Rutherford B. Hayes and New York Democratic governor Samuel J. Tilden is the most sensational, ethically sordid, and legally questionable presidential election in American history. The first since Lincoln’s in 1860 in which the Democrats had a real chance of recapturing the White House, the election was in some ways the last battle of the Civil War, as the two parties fought to preserve or overturn what had been decided by armies just eleven years earlier. Riding a wave of popular revulsion at the numerous scandals of the Grant administration and a sluggish economy, Tilden received some 260,000 more votes than his opponent. But contested returns in Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina ultimately led to Hayes’s being declared the winner by a specially created, Republican-dominated Electoral Commission after four tense months of political intrigue and threats of violence. President Grant took the threats seriously: he ordered armed federal troops into the streets of Washington to keep the peace. Morris brings to life all the colorful personalities and high drama of this most remarkable—and largely forgotten—election. He presents vivid portraits of the bachelor lawyer Tilden, a wealthy New York sophisticate whose passion for clean government propelled him to the very brink of the presidency, and of Hayes, a family man whose Midwestern simplicity masked a cunning political mind. We travel to Philadelphia, where the Centennial Exhibition celebrated America’s industrial might and democratic ideals, and to the nation’s heartland, where Republicans waged a cynical but effective “bloody shirt” campaign to tar the Democrats, once again, as the party of disunion and rebellion. Morris dramatically recreates the suspenseful events of election night, when both candidates went to bed believing Tilden had won, and a one-legged former Union army general, “Devil Dan” Sickles, stumped into Republican headquarters and hastily improvised a devious plan to subvert the election in the three disputed southern states. We watch Hayes outmaneuver the curiously passive Tilden and his supporters in the days following the election, and witness the late-night backroom maneuvering of party leaders in the nation's capital, where democracy itself was ultimately subverted and the will of the people thwarted. Fraud of the Century presents compelling evidence that fraud by Republican vote-counters in the three southern states, and especially in Louisiana, robbed Tilden of the presidency. It is at once a masterful example of political reporting and an absorbing read.
Book Synopsis William Grimshaw of Haworth by : Faith Cook
Download or read book William Grimshaw of Haworth written by Faith Cook and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty years in the mid-eighteenth century a scarcely-known village on the Yorkshire moors became one of the strongest centres of Christian influence in England. George Whitfield and John Wesley were often drawn there, along with many others. The explanation lay in the life and ministry of William Grimshaw, curate of Haworth from 1742 until his death in 1763. 'A few such as him would make a nation tremble', wrote Wesley, 'he carries fire wherever he goes.' Under Grimshaw's ministry the church's empty pews filled and non-attenders were startled to hear, 'If you will not come to church, you shall hear me at home'. Revival followed and persecution. But not even Grimshaw's opponents could deny that Haworth people now worked, and cared for their families, as they had never done before. What Charles Wesley called his 'triumphant love' was Grimshaw's supreme motivation. It led him to break through ecclesiastical rules and to preach far and wide: 'The most indefatigable minister of Christ that ever was in England' (William Romaine). It led also to his eagerness to help all -- Church of England or Dissenter, Moravian or Methodist, Arminian or Calvinist: 'I love Christians, true Christians of all parties. I do love them; I will love them; and none shall make me do otherwise.' - from dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Godly Prayer and Its Answers is an extended meditation upon Christ’s promise in John 14:13–14, “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Download or read book Suffering Well written by Rick L Thomas and published by Counseling Solutions Group, Incorporated. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rick Thomas invites his readers to enter into a place for "mature audiences" only, to listen as he recounts the darkest time in his life and how, through his journey of intense suffering, he was led to spend four years in the Book of Job. What he discovered was that the book wasn't really about Job (the most famous sufferer of all time) - but about God, and in particular - about learning to trust God in all our circumstances. This book is especially rich with biblical references to support his conclusions on why we are "called" to suffer. Consistent with his biblical counseling background, Rick gives the reader specific calls to action at the end of each chapter, making it not only an engaging read but practical as well. The book can be used for personal devotions, used in a small group setting or given away as a gift - it will bless the giver and the receiver!" Nancy Hohmann, Enid, Oklahoma
Book Synopsis Loving the Way Jesus Loves by : Philip Ryken
Download or read book Loving the Way Jesus Loves written by Philip Ryken and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people are familiar with the ‘love chapter’ of the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, yet Phil Ryken still has something new to say. He draws on the earthly life and ministry of Jesus to illustrate Paul’s several statements about what love is and isn’t. These aspects of love are then illuminated chronologically through the story of Christ’s advent, teaching, miracle working, sufferings, crucifixion, death, resurrection and ascension. Jesus never does anything without love. His love is everything the love chapter says that love should be. It is patient with sinners and kind to strangers. It does not envy or boast, but offers itself in humble service. It does not insist on its own way, but submits to the Father. It is able to forgive, trust, hope and persevere. This approach highlights the crucial truth that we are able to love only because Christ first loved us in this particularly profound, very real, and transformative manner.
Book Synopsis Selina, Countess of Huntingdon by : Faith Cook
Download or read book Selina, Countess of Huntingdon written by Faith Cook and published by Banner of Truth. This book was released on 2001 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deeply admired by contemporaries such as King George III, Henry Venn and George Whitefield (who described her as 'all in a flame for Jesus'), Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon (1707-91) left an indelible mark on the Evangelical Awakening of the Eighteenth Century. Closely involved for nearly forty years with the leaders of the burgeoning Methodist movement, she gave herself unstintingly to the cause of Christ. She contributed sacrificially to the construction of sixty-four chapels, the opening of many other places of worship, and the founding of Trevecca College in Wales. Drawing on unpublished letters, Faith Cook gives a deeper and truer-to-life portrait than previously available. Introducing the reader to a gallery of well-known Eighteenth Century personalities, she takes us behind the scenes into Selina's drawing rooms. There the Countess secured an entrance for the gospel among the aristocracy through the powerful preaching of such evangelical luminaries as George Whitefield, William Romaine and John Fletcher. The driving passion of Selina's life, according to the author, was 'a zeal for the salvation of her servants, her acquaintances, her family and the nobility'. As Lady Catherwood points out in the Foreword, Faith Cook's biography not only rescues the Countess from undeserved obscurity and misrepresentation, but also shows what God can accomplish through the tireless labours of a godly woman whose heart's desire was that the 'dear Lamb of God, my best, my eternal, my only Friend should have all dedicated to his service and glory'.
