Make Way for the Spirit

My Father's Battle and Mine

By: Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

The Blumhardts, father and son, two witnesses to the power of the Holy Spirit, heralds of the breaking in of God_s kingdom here on earth. And almost inseparable today, so completely did the son take up his famous father_s mantle and absorb his vision. But God marches forward in history, and whoever stands still is in danger of losing God. Here the son, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, writes as nowhere else about his father, Johann Christoph Blumhardt, clarifying the unity and continuity in their thought, but also his own painful though necessary points of departure. In particular, he takes a critical look at the role of faith healing, exorcism, and spiritual warfare in _The Awakening_ that thrust his father into the limelight, as well as his father_s reluctance to step beyond the walls of the Christianity he inherited. God wants to renew the whole world, to pour out his Spirit on humankind again, and around the world Christians are praying for renewal and revival. Are we standing in the way? Blumhardt calls out obstacles or _false crutches_ that he believes thwarted the movement of the Spirit in his father_s time and his own, all of which are still with us today: a focus on piety and personal salvation, misconceptions about mission and evangelism, and the institutional church with its human structures, dogmas, and traditions. If the religion of our churches is too small for God, are we ready to step outside and live in accordance with his great future?

Everyone Belongs to God

Discovering the Hidden Christ

By: Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

A pastor's frank advice for Christians who want to bring the gospel to their neighbors. Gold Medal Winner, 2016 Illumination Book Award in ministry/mission, Independent Publishers How can Christians represent the love of Christ to their neighbors (let alone people in foreign countries) in an age when Christianity has earned a bad name from centuries of intolerance and cultural imperialism? Is it enough to love and serve them? Can you win their trust without becoming one of them? Can you be a missional Christian without a church? This provocative book, based on a recently uncovered collection of 100-year-old letters from a famous pastor to his nephew, a missionary in China, will upend pretty much everyone's assumptions about what it means to give witness to Christ. Blumhardt challenges us to find something of God in every person, to befriend people and lead them to faith without expecting them to become like us, and to discover where Christ is already at work in the world. This is truly good news: No one on the planet is outside the love of God. At a time when Christian mission has too often been reduced to social work or proselytism, this book invites us to reclaim the heart of Jesus' great commission, quietly but confidently incarnating the love of Christ and trusting him to do the rest.

The Gospel of God's Reign

Living for the Kingdom of God

By: Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

No doubt, it is common to hear Christians today declaring their allegiance to God's kingdom. But what does this actually entail, and what difference does it make? In his characteristically provocative and daring way, Christoph Blumhardt articulates a vision of God's kingdom that turns much of our understanding of modern Christianity upside-down. In the present volume, available in English for the first time, Blumhardt leads readers to look at the gospel anew, challenging us to follow Jesus in a way that makes God's reign a reality, here and now. Bypassing vague notions of spirituality, as well as transcending simplistic approaches to faith, Blumhardt inspires us to actually live under the rule and reign of God.

When the Time Was Fulfilled

Christmas Meditations

By: Eberhard Arnold,Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt,Alfred Delp

The meditations in this collection are written by three seekers who struggled hard and long to find, in the words of Søren Kierkegaard, "the contemporary Christ." They witness to the fact that the birth of Jesus is more than history - it is a reality - but only for those who feel their need and are personally ready to come to the manger."--Back cover.

Action in Waiting

By: Christoph Blumhardt

Christoph Blumhardt's Action in Waiting was first published over a century ago, but his teaching on the kingdom of God, which influenced such luminaries as Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is as pertinent today as it was to his own generation.

Now is Eternity

Comfort and Wisdom for Difficult Hours

By: Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt,Johann Christoph Blumhardt

Bad days are one thing - everyone has them now and then. But what about the darker clouds that settle over a life for weeks or even months at a time? What about separation and divorce, prolonged illness and hospitalization? What about the loss of a friend or a parent, the absence of a child or a spouse? For the friend or family member who just isn't coping, no matter what you say, the sturdy simplicity of this little volume offers something most well-meaning sympathy cards forget: a gentle insistence that there is still a God who watches over all, and a stubborn faith that the worst trials of life's "difficult hours" will one day be overshadowed by his comfort and peace. In reminding us of the power conferred by hope, Now Is Eternity is a source of daily strength.

Thy Will Be Done

Sickness, Faith, and the God Who Heals

By: Johann Christoph Blumhardt,Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

In a world where medical advances seem to promise cures for everything, it's tempting to believe that we can live free of pain. But we know that even the best medicine cannot forestall death forever or solve the riddles of mental and emotional illness. How, then, to respond to the inevitability of suffering? And how to help those who live in fear of disease - people who spend their waking hours worrying about what the doctor said? With confidence in the possibility of miracles, the Blumhardts point us away from our woes to trust in a Creator who is supremely wise and good. A father-son team who worked as pastors and directors of a resort for convalescents, they here give sixty short reflections each based on a verse from the Bible.
