While many evangelical congregations have moved away from hymns and hymnals, these were once central fixtures in the evangelical tradition. This book examines the role and importance of hymns in evangelicalism, not only as a part of worship but as tools for theological instruction, as a means to identity formation, and as records of past spiritual experiences of the believing community. Written by knowledgeable church historians, Wonderful Words of Life explores the significance of hymn-singing in many dimensions of American Protestant and evangelical life. The book focuses mainly on church life in the United States but also discusses the foundational contributions of Isaac Watts and other British hymn writers, the use of gospel songs in English Canada, and the powerful attraction of African-American gospel music for whites of several religious persuasions. Includes appendixes on the American Protestant Hymn Project and on hymns in Roman Catholic hymnals. Contributors: Susan Wise Bauer Thomas E.

We are drowning in a sea of uncertainty ... and the Bible can save us. Unfortunately, too many people are being told the Bible is no longer the word of God. Somehow, the truth has become negotiable—and the Holy Book that we once held so sacred is collecting dust on bookshelves around the world. Wonderful Words for Life reminds us that the Bible can be the best resource to look to when in despair or distress. It can help you: • seek forgiveness for yourself and others; • recognize false teachers that seek to lead you astray; • keep your eyes on Jesus as you live life; • encourage your children to walk a godly path. The book includes numerous Bible verses that clearly define God’s wish for our lives. The verses will help you take an honest look at your life and be the Christian God wants you to be. You don’t need self-help books to live the good life. God has all the answers for you in his Word, the Bible!

BEUATIFUL WORDS TO PONDER The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are life. ~ Jesus of Nazareth ~ Though little, the master word looms large in meaning. It is the open sesame to every portal, the great equalizer, the philosophers stone which transmutes all base metal of humanity in gold. The stupid it will make bright, the bright brilliant, and the brilliant steady .. The master word is WORK. ~ William Osler ~ We live in a changing world, but only in an external sense. Environment and mental processes change, but there is something deep in the heart of man that defies the touch of time, a place where changes seldom come, if at all. There are to be found from age to age about the same hopes, fears, temptations, desires and motives; the same struggles with life and death, sin and shame, tragedy and grief, adversity and misfortune; the same eternal quests for God, truth, goodness and immortality. ~ Cordie J. Culp ~ Man, in his changing world, struggles to understand the unchanging God. Man would struggle less if he read the Bible more. Man has always been in the heart of God. The worlds task is to bring God into the heart of man. ~ Joseph M. Waterman ~ In time of quietness we have a chance to rest, an opportunity to evaluate life more properly, to develop a sympathy for others. We learn that the whole world can keep going without us and that gives us a wholesome sense of humility ~ Charles Allen ~.

While the physical aspects of life's journey can be easily seen, the spiritual are often more difficult to recognize and to navigate. In Seasons of Life: Man's Journey from the Garden to Glory, author Sandra M. Platt tells the story of one mans spiritual journey as he comes to understand his lost condition and begins his Christian life. Through the wooing of the Holy Spirit, he begins to acknowledge God and work in his life. Platt takes us from the barren wasteland of sin to repentance, where through faith he is born again into new life in Christ. We walk with Him through the seasons of sanctification and see the Lords hand carefully pruning, strengthening, and preparing him to bear fruit. The spiritual journey of Seasons of Life: Mans Journey from the Garden to Glory lights the way to the strait gate of salvation and beyond, giving courage to fight the good fight, and wisdom to navigate the narrow path. Gods word is illustrated through shared experiences, revealing biblical principles applicable to all. p>

Next to the miracle of salvation, the resurrection is the most exciting, the most thrilling, and the most glorious of all doctrines in the Word of God. Why? Because as mortals, we carry inside of us the dread of death. Inevitably, death comes to us and to our loved ones and when it does, we need a living faith. That’s why, when Martha stood at her brother’s gravesite, Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life.” And the great truth on resurrection, as relayed by the apostle Paul, has brought more comfort to mourners than any human words ever written. In this anointed book, Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart reveals the power of Christ’s resurrection which enables every believer, and His church, to rise again.

The author knows well of the Power above all Powers, the Strength and Love above all Loves. Indeed he knows we have a Lord of Lords, an Alpha and Omega that always was, is, and forever shall be. Wayne relays if there were anything he would desire for readers of this work, it would be that each one facing the maladies of life could be restored as God is doing for Wayne. He also sends along the knowledge he is yet as Paul stated long ago and realizes My sinful self, my only shame. Things he would recommend to others are these: never give up! Pray and praise, dance and sing, for this is what a Christian's future holds. Agape love.
