Richard Wurmbrand - 1967

One Man Who Dared to Stand UpMonths of solitary confinement, years of periodic physical torture, constant suffering from hunger and cold, the anguish of brainwashing and mental cruelty—these are the experiences of a Romanian pastor during his 14 years in Communist prisons.His crime, like that of thousands of others, was his fervant belief in Jesus Christ and his public witness concerning that faith.Meeting in homes, in basements, and in woods—sometimes daring to preach in public on street corners—these faithful souls persisted in their Christian witness knowing full well the ultimate cost of their actions.This is their story—a classic account of courage, tenacious faith, and unbelievable endurance.

This history of the Underground Church reflects the continuing struggle in many parts of the world today.

Messages to Young People

Ellen G. White - 1967

"Several generations of youth have been nourished by this uncompromising call to duty, purity, and service.

The author, who began her ministry when only 17 years of age, invites Seventh-day Adventist youth to examine their reading, dress, music, and social life, and discard cheap amusements that retard spiritual progress. She examines those fundamental traits of character that make for success or failure in the spiritual life, and discusses practical subjects such as home and parents, health, courtship and marriage, and how to recognize true love.This bracing challenge to honor God with a self-controlled life will inspire many to join the army of dedicated youth who ""climb the shining way,"" who aim to ""stand upon the summit of intellectual greatness"" and serve their God by dreaming dreams."

The Kingdom of the Cults

Walter Ralston Martin - 1967

The authoritative reference work on major cult systems for nearly forty years.

Working closely together, Ravi Zacharias and Managing Editors Jill and Kevin Rische (daughter of Dr. Martin) have updated and augmented the work with new material. This book will continue as a crucial tool in countercult ministry and in evangelism for years to come. Among cults and religions included are: Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, New Age Cults, the Unification Church, Baha'i Faith, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and more.

The Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom

John Chrysostom - 1967

"The holy Liturgy is the cornerstone on which our Church depends and continues its mission throughout the world" (Archbishop Gregorios 1991).

This is a fresh translation of the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostem and is published as a parallel Greek and Emglsih text. The Greek text is that published in Athens by the Apostoliki Diakonia in 1950 with reference to some other texts. The English translation is a new one undertaken by a committee of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain. The translation has for the first time adopted contemporary usage rather than the archaic forms used in earlier editions. This book is principally designed for use by members of the congregation but will also be employed by the priests and deacons celebrating the Liturgy.
