A unique and fresh writeup because of its multidisciplinary approach, combining the most interesting pieces of different disciplines, with a very interesting aspect of theology - Patrick Develtere, professor, KU Leuven.

This book presents a multidimensional evidence-based poverty alleviation paradigm which demonstrates that an integration of charity & justice, & other dichotomies of life is necessary to effectively deal with poverty - Johan De Tavernier, Dean and professor, Faculty of Theolog...

The one event in our history that has been least understood, is the coming of Jesus Christ to our world, to transfer humanity and our planet into a grand new reality.

What he has done is clear and simple. Yet it is so far beyond our limited imagination, that its significance has escaped the entirety of the human population, including Christian religion. The small number of individuals, and sometimes small groups, that really understood, was so free of this world and its trouble, that they hav...

This book tells of God's rescue plan for humanity. Right through all the gloomy prognostications, God is working out a rescue mission but also a hidden God: Isaiah 45:15:

Truly You are a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

But God is not untraceable! The bizarre thing is that divine traces can be observed through time. God takes pleasure in timing everything to perfection. God does not have to limit himself to the human agenda. When we think, "That will never work out, it is a...

Bishop John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) was a prolific writer, faithful pastor and preacher. His classic “Expository Thoughts on the Gospels” are among the finest expository writings ever written on the Gospels. They are a combination of doctrinal and practical comments on the text and are written in simple, plain English. According to the Bishop “The “Expository Thoughts” are not a learned, critical commentary. They were written to make them suitable for use at family prayers; as an ...

The Lord will come soon but first

in favor of His house.

Respecting him as the Host is

most important.

It is worth giving it the highest attention.

The Father will take with less

no pleasure.

The key to understanding the book of Revelation is enclosed in its title. It is a revelation! It reveals things that were unknown, makes them plain and understandable. Consequently, it is not to be regarded as a mystery that needs to be solved, a book with a hidden meaning, that requires experienced scholars to unravel it. Quite the opposite!

It presents itself as the solution to the riddle, revealing how all the major prophesies of the Bible will find their fulfilment, while documenting wha...

In Escaping the Potter’s House, ten brave individuals tell their own personal stories of attending the Potter’s House. They share how they came to join the cult, whether by birth or later in life; their extensive involvement; their realization of the problems with the church; and finally, their journey as they left.

While each person’s journey is unique, very similar threads run through their stories: control, manipulation, legalism with many rules, absolute obedience to leaders, the tw...

Death is not a subject that is often on our minds. At least not our own death. As long as things in life go along pretty smoothly, why worry? But things can change overnight. Accident, epidemic, sickness, shortages and hunger, economic crises, job-loss, poverty and even nuclear war. When things like this are expected or have already overcome us, questions about the meaning of life and the future start presenting themselves and demand an answer. As soon as that happens the subject of dying and...

This volume consists of a series of biographical papers, about the lives, characters and work of the leading ministers by whose agency God was pleased to revive Christianity in England in the 18th century. It may be feared that these great men are not sufficiently known and their merit not sufficiently recognized. The Church and the world however ought to know about men as Whitefield, Wesley, Romaine, Rowlands, Grimshaw, Berridge, Venn, Toplady, Hervey, Walker and Fletcher. Excepting Luther a...

Persoonlijk Bijbels Christen zijn: het is echt heel anders dan kerklid zijn op de brede kerkweg. Anders in geloof, anders in het leggen van dat geloof, anders in normen, waarden en het dagelijks volbrengen ervan; en natuurlijk op een smal, persoonlijk en proactief pad. Beslist geen kerkelijk massaverschijnsel en zeker niet populair te noemen dus. Desondanks het enige levende, inhoudelijke en kloppende geloof zonder afgoderij of andere wereldse verbintenissen. Alleen zo ben je Christen; alleen...
