If there is to be real renewal in Christian life, a culture steeped in the blood of the Lamb, saints must rise up to seed it. Only the witness of sanctity can save us now. More than ever, we need heroic men of God like St. Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr of the early Church, whose life and letters Dr. Regis Martin illuminates in these stirring pages. No other writer of the Apostolic Age has expressed with such passion, such blazing intensity, an ardent thirst for God as St. Ignatius, traveling in chains across Asia Minor toward the Colosseum.

What world missions ministry would arise if you only had the Bible? Answer: It would start and end with the local church. A focus on the local church is biblical, practical, and effective. It aligns with the New Testament. Local churches everywhere display God's wisdom and the glory of Christ in the gospel. You’ll see it from the view of Christ, the Great Commission, first-century Christians, Paul, and the New Testament canon itself. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it! This book walks through these steps: A.

A sweeping history of one of the nation’s most important African American churches and a profound story of courage and grace amid the fight for racial justice—from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Kevin Sack.

Lack of vision and direction limits the modern church. Many Christians just go from fad to fad, with nothing followed through to completion. Many churches have to obtain a vision by copying other successful churches. The Bible says that without a vision the people will perish (Prov 29:18). A dearth of prophets has caused a lack of vision in the church. The church needs prophets to give a clear call to battle. It is currently losing the battle because it does not have a focused strategy. A great babble of voices all claim to have the truth and Christians are tossed around by every new wave ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 216 The scholarly investigations and translations of Prof. Sebastian Brock have been largely responsible for bringing Saint Isaac of Nineveh, also known as Isaac the Syrian, to public attention. Isaac was a seventh-century Syriac Christian bishop and monastic author from Beth Qatraye in the region of Qatar. He is best known for his writings on Christian asceticism. This selection of Isaac’s prayers, taken from the three collections of his Discourses, is elegantly translated by Dr Brock into accessible English, bringing the thought and prayer of one of the great ...

In this latest addition to IVP Academic's Essential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT) series, Mitchell Chase invites listeners to rediscover wisdom as an essential thread woven throughout the tapestry of Scripture.

Although the Lord Jesus Christ treated all His disciples with condescending and affectionate familiarity, yet some of them He distinguished with more marked attention, and with more intimate access to himself than the rest. On what ground this preference was manifested, it is not for us to inquire; it is sufficient that we are sure that all His actions were guided by perfect wisdom, and sprung from the purest motives. Of the whole number, John only had the appellation of ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved;’ and to him it was granted, not only to be present at those interesting scenes in our...

I can remember the time when the antagonism with which for more than three hundred years the vast majority of the English people had regarded the Church of Rome, was one of the most powerful elements of our national life. It controlled our theological controversies; it was appealed to with confidence by the chiefs of political parties; its influence was obvious in.our social intercourse. Roman Catholic priests were regarded with mingled distrust, contempt, and dread. The characteristic doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church were spoken of with intellectual scorn; the pretensions of the Pope...

I had a dream that announced a one-year transition for the Church. It is an invitation to pass from the earthly mountain to the heavenly mountain. Jesus says: Banish discouragement; banish worry; banish fatigue. They don’t come from Me. They came down like coats someone wanted to put on your shoulders. I grab them and tear them up. I take away that heaviness that has come to overwhelm you. I breathe a new breath of glory into your life. Rise up and start walking. You have lived long enough in that mountain where I once revealed Myself. Lift up your eyes and look at the heavenly mountain ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 202 Gregory of Nyssa is the most important author of the fourth century in relation to theological anthropology, and was one of the most outspoken of the early Church Fathers on the subject of slavery. Gregory’s theology is built upon his perception that Jesus Christ was truly human; therefore, to be human is to be made in the image of Christ. We cannot justify slavery if we accept that humans are made in God’s image, because slaves are no less made in the image of God than those who are free. This book examines Gregory’s theology, how he understood and taught ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 217 In his Ecclesiastical History of the English People, the Venerable Bede (673–735) recorded not simply the biographies of the early saints of Britain, but the stories and myths about them, deliberately passed down from those who knew them, describing the impact they had on those close to them. Bede gave a very full account of Alban, despite the chronological distance separating them, but his sources for information about St Cuthbert were those who had known the saint personally, giving Bede’s account considerable authority. His texts are first-rate ...

You’re Not Meant to Die in the Valley—You’re Meant to Prophesy Your Way Out. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a place of spiritual dryness, repeated delays, suffocating despair, or unexplainable resistance—you are not alone. But what if the valley you're in isn't your grave—but your gateway to glory? The chains you’re still battling are waiting for your voice. The dryness you're walking through is begging for prophetic rain. The dead dreams, closed gates, demonic verdicts, and lingering shame—they all respond to prophetic fire when ignited by fasting and prayer. This book is not...

In a world spiraling into confusion, compromise, and cultural collapse, the righteous can no longer remain silent. This powerful follow-up to Let the Righteous Step Out is more than just a continuation—it's a renewed commission. With updated insights on global shifts, Christian persecution, moral redefinition, and rising hostility toward faith, this book delivers a bold and urgent wake-up call to believers everywhere.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 221 In recent years relations between Christians and Muslims have been reduced, in much popular discourse, to a simple, and often polarized, opposition. Historically the relationship between these two Abrahamic faiths has been much more nuanced and complex. In this book, Tony Dickinson explores some of the complexities, both in Christian-Muslim relations and within Islam, from the earliest years of Muhammad’s prophetic activity until the controversies and conflicts of the present, and suggests some possible approaches to contemporary inter-faith dialogue. Tony ...

La generosidad es un principio bíblico que aplica para todos, sin importar su situación financiera. Sin embargo, muchas iglesias tienen dificultades para involucrar a toda su congregación en la mayordomía. Generosidad en Comunidad ofrece una estrategia clara para conectar el ministerio de mayordomía con personas de todos los niveles económicos—desde quienes tienen necesidades hasta aquellos con mayores recursos.

St Gregory of Nyssa is known to theologians as one of the three great Cappadocian Fathers who are credited with the final clarification of the doctrine of the Trinity in the late fourth century. Few have ventured to study his role as a bishop who took pains to teach his flock the mysteries of the faith and how to lead a good Christian life. This short study delves into the moral teaching that St Gregory delivered to his audience by analyzing the specific sins about which he is teaching. Given that he preached all over Roman Anatolia, the details found in his homilies give us some insight ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 120 Scholars have often concentrated on the theological writings of St Athanasius (c. 296-373 AD) and on his influence as a religious leader, so that his contribution to the monastic life has not received due recognition. In these six letters addressed to monks, Athanasius is revealed as a wise spiritual guide and loving pastor, determined that the monks should receive sound teaching, so as to avoid the pitfalls of heresies current at that time. As Leslie Barnard notes in his Introduction, ‘The permanent significance of these letters lies in their wisdom, moderation...
