Paperback. Condición: Good. Ghana is considered one of the success stories of West Africa. Its government is relatively stable and the widespread use of English, as part of its colonial heritage, gives it easier access to the world at large. If Ronaldo and Rossana Lidorio were expecting a lightly Westernised African state when they went to the north of Ghana as missionaries such preconceptions were soon dispelled. They came up against formidable cultural and language barriers, illiteracy and human sacrifice. Where would you start if you entered a society where there are only 6 days to the week and no such thing as a year (and consequently no birthdays)? Where polygamy is a virtue and sisters are regularly swapped? Where the most powerful person in the village is not the tribal chief but the Witch Doctors, who have practiced their art for thousands of years? One of the themes, as you read this exciting story of modern missionary endeavour, is the counter-cultural one of ?sacrifice'. Ronald and Rossana worked on the foundations of others who prepared the way and alongside similarly committed people. 17 churches have now been planted in this previously un-reached area and 81 church leaders trained. The Konkomba tribes are now sending their own evangelists into other areas to bring the Good News of Christ to more people.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Have you ever looked sceptically over the brightly coloured picture books at your local Christian bookstore, wondering about their theology? That?s where Nancy Gorrell, an OP pastor?s wife in Schenectady, New York, found herself six years ago. Where would she find the right books to introduce her children to the truths of the faith?     Nancy took up the challenge by writing for her own children. Then her husband encouraged her to seek a publisher. Marianne Smith supplied the illustrations for her friend?s book. Christian Focus Publications of Scotland agreed to publish her work as a series of three books. The first one, Beginning with God, covers God, the Bible, and the Trinity.   There is nothing dry or boring about this book. Nancy brings a contagious delight to her topic as she distils the great truths of God?s Word. Discussing God, she answers such questions as ?What does God look like?? ?Will God always be here?? ?Is God perfect?? and ?Is God always fair??   The last subject she tackles is the Trinity. Nancy gently leads us through one of the Scripture?s deepest and most challenging truths, answering one question after another.   This book would make a great baptism gift. You might also give it to young parents who have inquired about Christianity without having made a definite commitment.   You can also read Meeting with God, the second book which covers the topics of creation, Jesus, and the salvation, should be out this fall. Living with God, the third book which covers worship, heaven, obedience, and prayer. These books will be valuable resources for families and churches for years to come.…

Paperback. Condición: Fair. On F. B. Meyer's death in 1929 The Daily Telegraph called him 'The Archbishop of the Free Churches'. The New York Observer noted that 'He has an international fame and his services are constantly sought by churches over the wide and increasing empire of Christendom.' To the secular press of his time he was a key player on the world scene - yet this is the first chronological account of Meyer's life. Meyer was the minister one of Britain's first 'megachurches'. He was friends with D. L. Moody and ministered on both sides of the Atlantic, mirroring in America what D. L. Moody was able to undertake in the U.K. He came from a conventional, middle class Victorian background and experienced no dramatic conversion. He was not a distinguished scholar or dramatic orator. His slight figure and retiring manner meant that he did not stand out in a crowd. Yet he drew crowds by the thousands, wrote books, which sold by the millions, and attracted working class people.The range of Meyer's activities is astonishing: preacher, pastor, writer, social activist, free church leader, Baptist president, advocate for missionary work and more. In his last years, he declared, 'If I had a hundred lives, they should be at Christ's disposal.' At times, it seemed as though he was living a hundred lives.…

These two emphases create contrasting models of discipleship and mission.In Crown of Thorns Tim Chester shows how these two gospels are really one gospel - the message of the King who establishes justice in a surprising way.…
