Pray!

Your Life Depends on It

By: Carl Jackson,Anna Jackson

There is an urgent need for prayer in our world today. Prayer is more than asking for things. Prayer is communion with the Father through Jesus by the Holy Spirit. This book is meant to help the reader develop a closer relationship with God and thus affect the world. We are admonished by the Lord to ask, seek and knock. He wants us to keep on asking, keep on seeking and keep on knocking. By doing this we learn how to overcome obstacles and roadblocks the enemy may attempt to put in our way. Prayer is an exciting adventure for those who are willing to step into the prayer arena. We invite all to join us through the means God has given to pull down strongholds that come against us. In this way the hand of God will be able to move in our homes, schools, churches, cities, states, in this country and around the world.

Who is Jesus?

Disputed Questions and Answers

By: Carl E. Braaten

New Testament scholars have long debated the historical identity of Jesus and the development of Christology within the church's history. In Who Is Jesus? Carl Braaten reviews the various historical Jesus quests, arguing that it is time for the current ("third") quest to admit failure. Against the implication that "the real Jesus has been lost and needs to be found," Braaten maintains that the only real Jesus is the One presented in the canonical Gospels and that "any other Jesus is irrelevant to Christian faith." He draws on a wealth of historical resources to address such contentious questions as these: What can we actually know about Jesus of Nazareth? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Is Jesus unique -- the one and only way of salvation? Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Was Jesus the founder of the Christian church? What does Jesus have to do with politics?

Old Mountain Dues

By: Carl E. Wirtanen

It is the time when tourists from New York City, Boston, and even Chicago as well as other locations in the general vicinity would come to relax and rejoice in the bucolic scenery and grand vistas of the Catskill Mountains which were in Greene County, New York. In the middle 1800 ́s roads were bad and most travel to the hotels near and in the mountains was by stage over independently-owned turnpike toll roads. Early attempts by entrepreneurs and visionaries were fraught with delay and failure as they attempted to put the “Iron Horse” to work replacing the stage. One project that actually got to the point of operation even though it wasn ́t completed was the Canajoharie & Catskill Rail Road. This very early railroad lasted about two years, from 1838 to 1840 and then went bankrupt. By 1880, several hotels had been built along the ridge in the heart of the Catskills. While they weren ́t as elegant or well-located as the Catskill Mountain House which was built on a ledge overlooking the Hudson River Valley, they provided increased opportunity for another group of entrepreneurs. This new group had forgotten about the old C&C and began to plan to bring more people to the mountain hotels via railroads. Another entrepreneur from Pennsylvania, George Harding, began building an even grander hotel than Beach ́s Catskill Mountain House just south of it and overlooking the same valley. He opened the Kaaterskill Hotel in 1882 and immediately began to work to get a railroad connecting to his hotel. The owner of the Catskill Mountain House as well as the Day Line and Evening Line Steam ship companies ́ owners and investors planned and began building the Catskill Mountain Railroad. This railroad would run from where the steamships docked at “The Landing” at the mouth of the Catskill Creek and the Hudson River to the foot of the escarpment below the Catskill Mountain House. From there, tourists would take a stage up the Mountain House Road to the Catskill Mountain House preferably, or to other hotels. Their goal was to provide fast and comfortable transportation to as close as they could get to the Catskill Mountain House. With the threat of the Kaaterskill Hotel and the other railroads imminent, the Catskill Mountain Railroad was built in 1881 and opened through South Cairo on the old Catskill &Canajoharie road bed, and then late in 1882 on to Lawrenceville at the foot of the mountain. As the railroad looked forward to a good year in 1883 as its first full season of operation, it still needed more revenue to be fiscally viable. This is the background of the times in which the events of this tale take place in two weeks in early April, 1883. Lester Overmeyer was born early in the 19th century into the hotel business in Coxsackie and worked in his family ́s hotel for many years and then went to work for the hoteliers that leased the Mountain House Hotel on :South Mountain for some time. While there, he decided he ́d like to buy that hotel and build it into his own business. When he lost the opportunity to purchase it to C.L. Beach, he vowed to get it back someday, somehow. As the years passed, he became successful in New York City and invested in hotels in competition with Beach ́s Mountain House. He even built his own hotel in Tannersville to compete with Beach and participates in Harding ́s Kaaterskill Hotel venture as a way to indulge his hatred of Beach. However, Beach is much more successful and aggressive than Lester had foreseen. When he learns of Beach ́s attempts to build a new railroad to the Mountain House, he decides must take action to keep him from becoming even more successful in competing with Lester ́s investments. About the time he made this decision, a young, brand new Methodist minister, Riley Gillen, comes to Leeds, New York. It just so happens, he used to be a police officer in New York City, but for some reason he does not like to share with anyone, decided to make a major career change.

Knowing the Father

By: Carl E. Zahrte

For years Miriam felt emptiness in her heart. Growing up when Jesus lived, this Jewish girl never knew who her father was. She suffered added grief at age twelve through the sudden death of her mother. But her mother had taught her to trust in the Almighty, and she found comfort with her uncle and aunt who became her loving guardians at their inn on the road to Jericho. As an attractive teenager she and her cousin Gideon experience fond feelings for one another. However, it's Adam, a Jewish mercenary serving Roman soldiers, with whom she falls in love. After they marry and she becomes pregnant, Adam is killed by ruthless King Herod Agrippa. In despair, Miriam tries to kill a leader of the apostles, but a man stops her and she hisses at him, "Who do you think you are?" She almost faints when he replies, "I am your father." A caring pastor who wants people to know that God loves them, even if they may suffer one trial after another, Carl Zahrte knows how to listen and offer comfort and hope. His many years of preaching, counseling, and ministering to people who are hurt when life seems unfair provide experience on which he draws in telling the story of Miriam, the heroine of Knowing the Father. A loving husband, father and grandfather, he can relate to the issues of everyday life and knows how to apply the teachings of the Bible so that his hearers, readers, and all whom he serves can ind strength and joy through faith in Jesus Christ.

François Vallé and His World

Upper Louisiana Before Lewis and Clark

By: Carl J. Ekberg

François Vallé and His World

Upper Louisiana Before Lewis and Clark

By: Carl J. Ekberg

In Francois Valle and His World, Carl Ekberg provides a fascinating biography of Francois Valle (1716-1783), placing him within the context of his place and time. Valle, who was born in Beauport, Canada, immigrated to Upper Louisiana (the Illinois Country) as a penniless common laborer sometime during the early 1740s. Engaged in agriculture, lead mining, and the Indian trade, he ultimately became the wealthiest and most powerful individual in Upper Louisiana, although he never learned to read or write. Ekberg focuses on Upper Louisiana in colonial times, long before Lewis and Clark arrived in the Mississippi River valley and before American sovereignty had reached the eastern bank of the Mississippi. He vividly captures the ambience of life in the eighteenth-century frontier agricultural society that Valle inhabited, shedding new light on the French and Spanish colonial regimes in Louisiana and on the Mississippi River frontier before the Americans arrived. Based entirely on primary source documents wills and testaments, parish registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials, and Spanish administrative correspondence found in archives ranging from St. Louis and Ste. Genevieve to New Orleans and Seville, Francois Valle and His World traces not only the life of Francois Valle and the lives of his immediate family members, but also the lives of his slaves. In doing so, it provides a portrait of Missouri's very first black families, something that has never before been attempted. Ekberg also analyzes how the illiterate Valle became the richest person in all of Upper Louisiana, and how he rose in the sociopolitical hierarchy to become an important servant of the Spanish monarchy. Francois Valle and His World provides a useful corrective to the fallacious notion that Missouri's history began with the arrival of Lewis and Clark at the turn of the nineteenth century. Anyone with an interest in colonial history or the history of the Mississippi River valley will find this book of great value.

Called to be the Children of God

By: Carl E. Olson,Fr. David Vincent Meconi, S.J.

This book gathers fourteen Catholic scholars to present, examine, and explain the often misunderstood process of "deification". The fifteen chapters show what "becoming God" meant for the early Church, for St. Thomas Aquinas and the greatest Dominicans, and for St. Francis and the early Franciscans. This book explains how this understanding of salvation played out during the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent. It explores the thought of the French School of Spirituality, various Thomists, John Henry Newman, John Paul II, and the Vatican Councils, and it shows where such thinking can be found today in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. No other book has gathered such an array of scholars or provided such a deep study into how humanity's divinized life in Christ has received many rich and various perspectives over the past two thousand years. This book seeks to bring readers into the central mystery of Christianity by allowing the Church's greatest thinkers and texts to speak for themselves, demonstrating how becoming Christ-like and the Body of Christ on earth, is the only ultimate purpose of the Christian faith.

Mother Church

Ecclesiology and Ecumenism

By: Carl E. Braaten

Carl Braaten here issues an energetic call for a truly ecumenical church, including a Lutheran rationale for recovery of the historical episcopacy and papal primacy as servants of the gospel. Braaten writes of the church's place in the divine scheme of things and of the various modern isms that distort or hide the classical Christian tradition. Tracing his own ecumenical journey, he outlines an ecclesiology of communion and advances specific proposals for enhancing Christian unity in liturgy, spirituality, and church polity. The confessing movement named after Martin Luther he views in terms of its basic intent to reform and renew the church, not to start a new Christianity in a multiplicity of separate denominations.

The Truth

By: Carl E. Holland

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Truth

By: Carl E. Holland

The Truth, was inspired by a conversation the author had over lunch one day about Jesus. The prevailing thought in many circles is that He was no more than a prophet. Carl E. Holland set out to prove from Scripture that Jesus was more than just a prophet or a good man. He was God who came to Earth in human form to provide redemption for mankind. This study is an exciting examination of who Jesus was in eternity past, His role in dealing with the rebellion of Satan, who Jesus is today, and what He will be doing in the future. Holland reveals that Jesus was the One who created all things through a thorough examination of creation. His role in heaven as the Head of the Church is explained, and Holland delves into prophetic fulfillment to uncover Jesus' future role in the ages to come. Carl E. Holland brings twenty years of award-winning investigative journalism, and another twenty years of pastoral experience together to provide straight-shooting answers to some of the toughest questions on the minds of this generation. He has reached thousands of people through his standing-room-only live presentations, audio series, books, and other print media. His communication style provides what are sometimes complicated facts, to a post-modern generation in a way that captures the attention of young and old alike. Whether teaching in a mega-church or a homeless shelter, his jargon-free delivery of complex biblical truths makes him one of America's top theological teachers. Carl spent sixteen years as a pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in Virginia. He has since established Carl Holland Ministries, and has authored four other biblically-oriented books. He currently lives with his wife of 44 years, Diane, in eastern Virginia.

Sir Christian De Galis and the Fish Gravy

Volume I of the Quest of Sir Christian

By: Carl E. Ramsey

The worst choice is sometimes the best choice. Such was the case of Sir Christian de Galis, for thirty-plus years the absolute worst choice to do anything in his particular kingdom. Jesters told jokes about him. Heroes avoided him. Bullies humiliated him. The king got real tired of having him around. What suddenly made him the best choice to go on a quest with the kingdoms scariest lady who looked harmless? As Sir Christian rode to the rescue of the ladys grandson with her equally scary-yet-zany retinuean ancient archer with more disabilities than arrows, a loquacious niece with the realms longest first-name, and a nephew with a speech defect and bad hairan even scarier fact slowly dawned on him: This grandson didnt need rescue from anything, and the true object of the quest was him and his sudden, prayerful discovery of his fathers long-lost substance of great power. Disguised as a food condimentthat blows up, burns up, or makes people sick, depending how you add sugarit had the most innocent sounding name. Yet upon such might depend the survival of the kingdom.
