A close look at a period of disappointment and anger toward God that offers hope to anyone who has ever experienced spiritual silence and darkness. An encouragement to believe when God seems silent.A close look at the dark night of the soul in Catherine Marshall's life. Over seventeen years had to pass before Catherine Marshall LeSourd's book Light in My Darkest Night was written. Catherine had always intended to write it herself, but for some reason the opportune moment never seemed to come. After a few years, I began to wonder if the events of such a significant phase in her life would ever be told. But as time went on, the story not only didn't fade, but kept coming up in conversations with friends and family: 'Do you remember the summer of 1971? How many lives were touched… How long did it take Catherine to recover? What book did she talk about it in?' The answer to the last question is: no book. Catherine Marshall dedicated only a few passages in a couple of her books to her period of trials and tribulations, but she kept much of her anguish and desolation hidden from her readers, her friends, and even her family.Now these intense and compelling pages describe her slow, painful ascent from the depths of her spiritual valley.Assembled from journals and recorded interviews, Light in My Darkest Night will convey an unforgettable message of hope: if we allow Him, the Lord will help us become strong precisely in our weaknesses.

Today, psychic and occult ideas and practices are filling the world stage and even infiltrating the church. Dennis and Rita Bennett draw our attention to the danger of precognition or future prediction, telepathy, clairvoyance, astrology, transcendental meditation, and the danger of spiritism or spiritualism, hypnotism, witchcraft or magic, and they propose the biblical solution: the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary and the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the way to live our lives in a truly new and different dimension.

Of all the demons Frank Peretti has written about, this is anything but fiction... If you've ever been there, you've never forgotten it. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smell of a middle school locker room.It is the feeling of being too short or too tall... awkward or less than beautiful. Or of being a dork... a nerd... or just, somehow, different. It is knowing you are vulnerable – and that someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable.It's the fraternity you never wanted to be a part of – the fraternity of the wounded spirit. In his first work of nonfiction, Frank Peretti examines the pain from his own past and helps us uncover the scars in our personal lives. Drawing on tragic current events such as Columbine, he shows us how ridicule and rejection can push people over the edge. Then, with poignant introspection, he shows us how to heal the wounded spirit that lies within each of us.

While Jesus was praying, His disciples said to Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray.' Jesus longs for a people who passionately seek Him! He enables us to seek His face and His hand: His face for intimacy and His hand for His powerful works on earth. Jesus, the divine intercessor, left us an example of prayer to follow. It's not about a method, but something much more practical. Perhaps your request is: 'Lord, I don't know how to pray, but I love You, so here I am. I know nothing about prayer, but I want to learn.'

A book like this was certainly needed. Too often in Christian circles, problems considered non-spiritual, such as environmental protection and its various implications, are given little weight. Certainly, the spiritual should take precedence over material concerns, but can anyone truly claim to be indifferent to the conditions of the world in which their children will have to grow up? What, then, should be the attitude of Christians towards environmental problems? Dr. Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984), a renowned Christian thinker, offers a comprehensive and biblical answer to this question in the pages of this book. His clear and inspired analysis of the ecological problem sheds new light on the responsibilities of Christians, encouraging us to make a difference by intervening with appropriate tools to address the state of creation.As he has done for other human problems, Dr. Schaeffer also provides rigorously biblical directives in this case which, if followed, can bring about substantial healing and restoration in the relationship between man and his environment."If I love God, the creator of all things, I will respect what he has made," is the thesis supported by Schaeffer, a servant of God who always strived for a biblical, uncompromising, and practical Christianity, leaving an indelible example of faith and moral and intellectual integrity with his writings.

The year is 1795, and in the Burmese jungle, hundreds of natives flock to a clearing to welcome a white-skinned stranger. Could he be the one to bring the Book their ancestors lost so many centuries ago? The Book that tells the secrets of Y'Wa, the supreme God? Yes! The missionaries who arrived later were amazed at how God had prepared these peoples for one of the greatest mass conversions in history!The cover photo depicts the ruins of Machu Picchu, the majestic fortress built in Peru in the 15th century.

Richard Wurmbrand, who directly experienced the face of 'true' communism and suffered fourteen years of imprisonment in his native Romania for his Christian faith and pastoral ministry, reveals in this book the other side of Karl Marx.Richard Wurmbrand has a thesis to prove regarding possible connections between Marxism and the Satanist church.No one had ever written on this subject before, and Richard Wurmbrand provides many contributions and valid testimonies.One must agree that in Marxism, especially in the U.S.S.R. and Mao's China, with the deliberate suppression of millions of innocents, the force of evil truly seems to have been at work.Marxism is the great fact of modern life. But Marx had written in the 'Communist Manifesto' that his goal was the abolition not only of all religions but also of all morals, which would have made everything permissible.There is no possibility of agreement between Christianity and Marxism. The kingdom of Jesus is one of truth, love, justice, peace, and liberation.
