The Power of the Spirit

A Concise Exposition on the Holy Spirit

William Law / CLC Publications

"In all my reading I have never found anyone who has so helped me in understanding the Scripture truth of the work of the Holy Spirit," Andrew Murray said of this book, which he admired so much that he brought it back into print in 1896. Law emphasizes "the truth of our dependence upon the continual leading of the Spirit, and the assurance that that leading can be enjoyed without interruption."

Although this volume is generally a modernized version of Murray's edition, Dave Hunt has also drawn upon several of Law's other books, including his well-known A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life, as well as a number of his private letters. By weaving together appropriate thoughts from Law's major works, Hunt enriches the book for today's reader. More info...

Healthy Choices Cookbook

Keepers at Home readers / Carlisle Press

No sugar. No white flour. No artificial anything. The cookbook for people who want wholesome, nutritious food, from the kitchens of Keepers at Home readers.

Are you looking for a common sense approach to a healthier lifestyle? We, with contributions from the Keepers at Home readers, compiled Healthy Choices Cookbook to help you provide nutritious food for your family and friends. The recipes in Healthy Choices are sugar-free, use no white flour and don't ask for artificial ingredients. In the long run, no one maintains vibrant, growing health on radiated, fumigated, pasteurized, homogenized, chemical-laden, and nutritionally dead food. Living cells require living foods.

While its sometimes hard to decide the exact place where dead food stops and healthful food starts, and certain foods "don't agree" with some people as they do with others, Healthy Choices with its 1,093 recipes offers a wide range of traditional and modern recipes that help you protect, maintain and encourage the good health God gives you and your loved ones. Take the first step toward better health—start with healthy food choices. More info...

Overcoming Evil God's Way

Stephen Russell / Faith Builders Resource Group

We live in a world wracked with violence and despair. Does that mean that every act of violence must be met with an equal or greater counterblow? Overcoming Evil God's Way asserts that the biblical message offers hope of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation in place of hatred, vengeance, and fear. This book looks at both the historical and the biblical evidence for the nonresistant lifestyle of the Christian. Some of the themes the book deals with:

• Why do Christians disagree among themselves about war?
• What is the overarching narrative of the Bible, and what does it have to say about peace?
• What is the Christian's right and just battle?
• What is the biblical model for the Christian life?
• How have platonism and Islamic thought weakened the church's grasp on nonresistance?
• What place does the gospel of peace have in winning Moslems and others who have discounted the Christian message, life, and community?

God's Miracle--an Egg

Rebecca Newswanger / Christian Light Publications

Let's peek inside our chicken house;
Oh, look! See what I found
In this soft nest; it still feels warm;
It's hard and kind of round.

An egg! An egg! You guessed it right!
Who could have put it there?
Our pretty chicken laid this egg
Let's handle it with care.
