The Miracle of Forgiveness
Spencer W. Kimball - 1969
But perhaps his greatest miracle was the healing of people's souls, - the forgiveness of sin. Jesus offers us that same miracle on the same terms- sincere repentance. In The Miracle of Forgiveness, President Spencer W Kimball gives a penetrating explanation of repentance and forgiveness and clarifies their implications for Church members. His in-depth approach shows that the need for forgiveness is universal; portrays the various facets of repentance, and emphasizes some of the more serious errors, particularly sexual ones, which afflict both modern society and Church members. Most important, he illuminates his message with the brightness of hope that even those who have gone grievously astray may find the way back to peace and security. Never before has any book brought this vital and moving subject into so sharp a focus. This classic book is a major work of substance and power. After, all who does not need the miracle of forgiveness.
Great Lent: Journey to Pascha
Alexander Schmemann - 1969
Schmemann draws on the Church's sacramental and liturgical tradition to suggest the meaning of Lent in our life. The Lenten season is meant to kindle a 'bright sadness' within our hearts. Its aim is precisely the remembrance of Christ, a longing for a relationship with God that has been lost. Lent offers the time and place for recovery of this relationship. The darkness of Lent allows the flame of the Holy Spirit to burn within our hearts until we are led to the brilliance of the Resurrection.
The All-Inclusive Christ
Witness Lee - 1969
He presents a detailed study of some of the unsearchable riches of the good land, including its brooks and streams, its wheat and barely, its figs and vines, and even its iron stones. Each type is explained and applied to our experience as believers. Every believer needs to enter into, abide in, possess, and fight for this all-inclusive Christ. From beginning to end The All-inclusive Christ encourages God's seekers to daily enjoy Christ, experience Christ, and apply Christ as the good land for the fulfillment of God's eternal purpose.
In the Day of Thy Power: The Scriptural Principles of Revival
Arthur Wallis - 1969
In the Day of Thy Power is filled with plentiful quotations from eyewitnesses of revival and with inescapable biblical authority for such "times of refreshing...from the presence of the Lord." It unfolds the conditions by which God still comes, as in apostolic days, with "mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God.""As I read the manuscript," Norman Grubb recalled, "it had the effect of confronting me with 'the word of the Lord' and demanding an answer.... I believe it will have a like effect on all who read it with 'ears to hear.'"This first book of Arthur Wallis, written in 1956, was an immediate succes when first published and has become a classic on the subject of revival.
Church Beyond the Congregation: The Strategic Role of the Church in the Postmodern Era
James Thwaites - 1969
It is time for the church to move beyond its present focus on the congregation. It is time to release the church from its containment in meetings and programs and equip it to be the body of Christ in all areas of life and work. This is the challenge issued by James Thwaites as he takes an in depth look at the Hebrew worldview revealed in Scripture and applies its understanding of creation to arrive at a new vision of, and strategy for, the church in a postmodern era.
