TWO GREAT BOOKS IN ONE! JOSEPH It is not easy to put God first. Pressures come in life; criticisms to misunderstandings arise. Disillusion can very easily set in. To keep going for God is a more difficult task than slipping into mediocrity and ‘laidback’ Christian commitment. This book on the life of Joseph is aimed at proving that you can go on for God, no matter what age you are. Seventeen? See Joseph go on for God in spite of jealousy at home. Twenty-eight? See Joseph suffer in prison for moral purity. Thirty? Study Joseph as Prime Minister still going on for God. Forty-four? See Joseph save starving African countries. One hundred and ten? Listen to Joseph’s dying words that bring hope to distressed spirits to this day. You will be surprised to discover how relevant Joseph’s life is to the nitty-gritty of yours. You can learn and be inspired to go on for God just as Joseph did. RUTH This love story begins with tragedy, but then out of the womb of all tragedy there comes something beautiful, which, if the tragedy had never occurred, would never have been seen. Yet it is more than a love story between a desperately poor girl and a very wealthy landowner. It is a story of love for God, of love for His people and all that they believe. Facing loneliness, poverty, and alienation from the culture in which she was living, Ruth allowed God to have His way with her life. She accepted the rough with the smooth as the matchless Divine Potter slowly molded her into the person He wanted her to be.
The story of the Brontë family is one of incredible romance, immense genius and haunting sadness. From humble beginnings in Ireland the Rev. Patrick Brontë rose to the very heart of the reforming evangelical movement of the 19th century; he was sponsored at Cambridge University in England by its great leader William Wilberforce. Patrick's daughters Emily, Charlotte and Anne came onto the pages of literary history with, amongst other work, their novels Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall which now grip the imagination of millions of people in the 21st century. Branwell, the most promising of Patrick's children is mourned for the wreck of his talent. All had the fire of deep emotions running in their veins. In this book Derick Bingham seeks to trace the influence of Patrick Brontë's unfaltering evangelical faith on the lives and work of all his children. Here is faith in the face of unremitting tragedy, imagination soaring out of pitiful sadness and doubt vying with hope for dominance. The world will truly never see such a literary family again whose life story is every bit as fascinating as their fiction.
She has become a legend. Brilliant, personable and passionate, she is arguably the most gifted of all Irish woman writers of Christian literature. During the time of the Raj in India, Amy Carmichael discovered a custom of the time in which children were ‘married to gods’ and so introduced to a life of prostitution. With a mixture of courage and heartbreak, she began to uncover the facts, sometimes under disguise, for the government. After independence, the Indian government courageously prohibited the practice by law. Against difficult circumstances, Amy and her colleagues provided a safe home for these children against awesomely difficult circumstances at Dohnavur in South India. Until her death in 1951, she devoted fifty years of her life to rescuing babies and children from dangerous backgrounds in India. Amy, a Christian missionary, social reformer and writer of thirty-five books, once described herself as a ‘Wild-bird child and in no wise tame’: her life proved her observation to be hauntingly accurate. Millions of people have been influenced by her life and writing. For this biography, the first by anyone from her home County, Derick Bingham carefully researched Amy Carmichael’s original letters now placed by the Dohnavur Fellowship and Miss Margaret Wilkinson in the Northern Ireland Public Records Office. As Bingham tried to uncover the heart and conscience of this extraordinarily self-effacing legend, he is on record as saying that it proved to be one of the greatest spiritual experiences of his life, and in this biography, readers will find spiritual gold.
He was an intellectual prig who was transformed into a man who had a mind and heart awake to holiness. He had no posterity, but few men in history have been so deeply loved by children. He was but a mirror reflecting another Face. He was an Oxford Don and a Cambridge Professor. He was an expert in Medieval and Renaissance English who gripped the imagination of millions through his wartime broadcasts of Christian truth for the BBC—broadcasts that later became his famous book, Mere Christianity. He was C. S. Lewis, a name synonymous with legendary kindness, intellectual rigour, a love of nature and perhaps his greatest creation, Aslan and the land of Narnia. His writings still compel countless readers to shiver with wonder at the great imagination and depth of understanding he possessed. Controversial genius that he was, his life is a beacon for all who struggle with doubt and faith in Christ.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was the star and spokesman for the decade he called the "Jazz Age, " the 1920's -- the "greatest and gaudiest spree in history" which saw "a whole race going hedonistic, deciding on pleasure." It all crashed, and with it came a severe poisoning of "the American dream." In his masterpiece The Great Gatsby, he warns of the corruption of values and the decline of spiritual life. Fitzgerald's writing is looked on today by millions as prophetic. This book is a look at what he so masterfully exposed and its aim is to apply the ageless Scriptures to the emptiness of hedonism and show how we can be led to make the right choices, to travel on the right road and to know a sure and steadfast hope in the midst of a Western civilization that is selling its very soul for the transient.
