In Thy Presence


Lev Gillet - 1977
    Some of them open our minds to the immense energy of Love in the universe. Others reveal the presence of Love in human tribulation and suffering, or illuminate the most commonplace actions of daily life. In all of them, tenderness toward each created being touches the real hunger and hope of our lives for a relationship of loving communion with God, for a journey with a transcendent destination.There are also meditations on the presence of Christ. Also considered one by one are the actions of our daily lives, which so often threaten to become a meaningless routine. Each is brought into the light of a related incident in the life of Christ. Each is considered as if carried out in His immediate presence. What for us has so often become dull or meaningless is shown to be capable of transfiguration, of being potentially the action of an heir of God, of someone who transmits the intention of God to this world.

A Man Called Mr. Pentecost


David Du Plessis - 1977
    "Yes, Brother Wigglesworth." He put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me against the wall - not roughly, but certainly firmly. He began to speak, and I knew he was prophesying. What followed was a remarkable and, to a Pentecostal in 1936, heretical message. The Lord would pour out His Spirit upon the established Church, he said, and the ensuing revival would eclipse anything the Pentecostals had experienced. And David du Plessis would be mightily used by God to bring acceptance of the Pentecostal message to the established churches. It was an extraordinary prophecy, and the years that followed have been equally amazing. How was the prophecy fulfilled? How is it still? Here is the remarkable story.
