In his autobiography, Charles Finney goes into great detail about his ministry and the many revivals he spearheaded. He gives incredibly valuable details about how he operated in those revivals, the strategies he used to bring them about, his response to the constant controversies surrounding him, and much more. This book is, without a doubt, one of the greatest treasures in church history.

This book was written and compiled by Hudson Taylor’s son, Frederick Taylor, along with his wife Geraldine. They gathered never-before-published letters from Hudson and his wife Maria, as well as several accounts and testimonies from other witnesses to their lives. These are some of the most powerful writings in modern church history, and show the inner life of one of the greatest missionaries since the apostles.

The book that you have found is not just a book. It is a treasure that has been virtually hidden and forgotten for over 100 years. The Welsh revival is one of the most famous and impactful revivals in modern history. However, there has been very little written on it by actual eyewitnesses because of the belief that no person should take any credit for what happened.

John Carter is back for another adventure in this classic interplanetary tale of Barsoom from Edgar Rice Burroughs. In an attempt to put an end to a wave of murders carried out by the notorious Assassins Guild, John goes to the Martian city of Zodanga. When he arrives however, he discovers much more than he ever could have imagined.

Llana of Gathol is a unique volume in John Carter’s Barsoom series. While the previous books featured a single story throughout, Llana of Gathol is an anthology of four shorter tales written later in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ life. These stories are, The Ancient Dead, The Black Pirates of Barsoom, Yellow Men on Mars and Invisible Men of Mars. These are also considered to be the John Carter stories with the most humor, and explore the life of an older John Carter, Llana of Gathol being his granddaughter.

This book has one goal in mind, to try and bring greater understanding between two dedicated groups of Christians. Dispensationalists and Reformed Christians have a very different understanding of how God has worked in this world as well as how God will continue to work. There is a theological divide that has developed after many years of discussion and stems from a mixture of ignorance; misunderstanding and actual disagreement.

In the year 1904 a revival like the world has never seen before broke out in Wales. While it started in small, rural communities, the news of God moving in power blazed throughout the whole world and sparked countless other revivals, and continues to have an incredible impact today. Led by the young Evan Roberts, who spent months seeking God for four hours a day, starting a 1 a.m. for revival, an incredible 100,000 people were brought to the feet of Jesus in less than a year.

As the two fighting men search for Ras Thavas, the brilliant mad scientist, in order to save the life of Dejah Thoris, Princess of Mars, they find themselves captured in a city of grotesque, seemingly unkillable monsters. These abominations have human body parts, but in all the wrong places and the wrong sizes.This unique story in the John Carter of Mars series is the only one that is told from the point of view of Vor Daj, as he sees his adventure with the Warlord of Mars, John Carter.

After Fee published his magisterial God's Empowering Presence, he was asked to write a more accessible volume that would articulate Paul's priorities for experiencing the life of the Spirit in the church. Fee's bestselling introduction to Paul and the Spirit, Paul, the Spirit, and the People of God, went on to sell over 70,000 copies. This book by one of the greatest evangelical and Pentecostal New Testament interpreters of our time argues that the presence of the Spirit is, for Paul and for us, the crucial matter for the Christian life.

John G. Lake was a man known for his nation changing ministry of healing. While there are many volumes that have been written about this great man of God, there has never been one like this!

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.

There are many editions of the writings of St. Francis, and many biographies about him, but here in one volume are both, plus the complete text of the late medieval work The Little Flowers, which did more to establish the legend of the man than any other work. This edition includes the complete Road to Assisi, Paul Sabatier's groundbreaking and foundational biography of the saint, first published in French in 1894; the complete Francis in His Own Words: The Essential Writings; and The Little Flowers, thus offering the best introduction to St. Francis yet available between two covers.

This book is a Smith Wigglesworth collection like no other! Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947) was one of the most solid, powerful, and influential men of God in all of church history. His teachings on the Holy Spirit, the Pentecostal movement, the power of speaking in tongues and the Word of God is unparalleled in many ways. However, until this book, there has not been a collection focused solely on the miracles that took place in his ministry.

Madame Jeanne Guyon was one of the most important figures of the 1600s-1700s, not only in France, but throughout Europe. The Reformation had ended nearly 100 years prior, but much of the world continued to believe that the common people could only approach God through priests. Mystics like Madame Guyon, Brother Lawrence, and Miguel de Molinos taught that each individual could come to God through the intimacy of personal prayer. This teaching branded them as heretics.

Are you living a powerful life? Do you long for miracles, healings, and prophecy to be part of your everyday experience? Good news! There is more! The Holy Spirit has opened up dimensions of supernatural power for your every need, just waiting to be unlocked! Robert Hotchkin reminds us that the Gospel of the Kingdom is a Gospel of power—a power the world desperately needs. Robert walks through Scripture, demonstrating that God’s plan has always been for His people to bring Heaven to Earth by operating in His power and authority.

Few revivals have been as powerful and influential as the Welsh Revival. It was birthed from the unceasing, passionate prayers of men and women of God all over Wales, and led by the anointing-saturated young man, Evan Roberts. However, because Evan Roberts was a naturally reclusive man, and the teaching of humility was so important during the revival, we have very few eyewitness accounts or testimonies that give us deeper insights into how and why God moved in that time.

Hudson Taylor was one of the greatest, most effective Christian missionaries in the past several centuries, and changed the nation of China forever for the glory of God. He lived a life of extreme sacrifice and spent many years suffering for souls.

There is no greater story in the history of humanity than that of the undying love between the Lord Jesus and His people. The most famous story in eternity will always be how the Son of God came and died a horrible death on the cross for our sins. However, there have been countless thousands of men and women who have reciprocated that love, and have walked to certain death in order to tell the lost about the lover of their souls. They faced raining clouds of arrows and spears, shipwrecks, starvation and hunger, dark jungles and slavery, and more than could ever be listed here.

The best swordsman of two worlds, John Carter, is about to head off on two more legendary adventures! Once again the Warlord of Mars finds himself and his beloved Dejah Thoris face to face with new perils on Barsoom. He will explore the Ancient City of Korvas, fight hoards of rats, giants, and skeleton men; and ride on the backs of thoats as bravely as ever!

The work of almost every branch of what has been called the “faith movement” today, can be traced back to one person (led by the Holy Spirit of course). That person is George Muller. A poor, humble man who made the incredible decision to dedicate his entire life to proving that God was in his day (and ours), still the same God of the Bible who hears and answers prayer in real, tangible ways.
