Friend of God

By: Dr Ken Baker

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A devotional study of the life of Abraham. The Bible calls Abraham the "Friend of God," a fitting title for one who walked closely with God, and who received many promises from God. This book examines the idea that we can share that intimacy and claim those promises today. It's set out in easy-to-read style over thirty-one chapters so that the reader can make it a month of journeying with Abraham.

Handling Grace

By: Dr Ken Baker

This little book is a series of discussion starters designed to accompany the Theology Lectures of Elim Academy, Dublin. It is written from the conviction that theology should be "hands-on" and accessible, street-level, and centered in Grace, rather than "laying down the law." As Pope Francis put it: "Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.

The Liberating Anointing

The Liberating Anointing

By: Dr Ken Baker

God must build our anointing strong, so He can lay His glory thick." (Alisa Hope Wagner) But what is the Anointing? In this little book, the author examines Isaiah's prophecy (in chapter 61) and makes the challenge that the anointing that Jesus claimed for Himself at the beginning of His ministry is ours too, if we are in Christ. In Christ, we come into a wonderful new liberty of joy and praise. It's the anointing, that breaks every last vestige of our old slave-chains As Steve Brown put it, so boisterously, "You ought to live your life with such freedom and joy that uptight Christians will doubt your salvation." As we consider the aspects of this empowerment, my God indeed "lay His glory thick"!

What do these Stones Mean?

What do these Stones Mean?

By: Dr Ken Baker

The book of Joshua contains the ancient account of the People of Israel's entry into the "Promised Land" after the death of Moses, under Joshua, the newly chosen leader, and the settling of the land under their occupation. This is a devotional day-by-day study through the Biblical text, taking about a month, to ask the title question "What do these stones mean?" Joshua's stone marker was intended to provoke a few questions that this little book aims to answer: Who is God? Is He the same today? Can the promises to the people of Joshua be appropriated by the people of Jesus? Does God still move in power today?

Through Fire and Water: The Birth of Elim

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Through Fire and Water: The Birth of Elim

By: Dr Ken Baker

Through Fire and Water is the first of four novels based upon the life of Kathleen Bewley (née Kelly), charting her story from 1915 to 1923. This forms the context for giving an account of the beginnings of the Elim movement and the wider story of Pentecostalism in Britain and Ireland. 2015 is the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Elim Movement, whose beginnings can be fairly traced to a single tent crusade in a field outside Monaghan town. Dr Baker tells the story from the context of twentieth century Irish history, amidst the pain of the First World War, the Partition of Ireland and the Belfast riots of the early 1920s.

Nehemiah: The Builder's Blueprint

Nehemiah: The Builder's Blueprint

By: Dr Ken Baker

When I came to preach and teach on the book of Nehemiah, a friend of mine -David Crawford-Bixby- suggested the word "Blueprint" and I've found it an illuminating suggestion. For not only was Nehemiah a capable project manager who must have dealt with some ancient version of the blueprint in his construction work, but the word itself forms a parable of how God dealt with him. As we shall see, the character of Nehemiah is at the heart of the book that bears his name. He is the orchestrator, the midwife, the warrior... but in all he does he seeks only to replicate the pattern given to him by God. So, finally, it is his integrity and faithfulness that shine through. He is God's blueprint, enshrined in Holy Scripture to encourage us to see just how it's done.

FAITH WALKING

By: Dr Ken Baker

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

FAITH WALKING

By: Dr Ken Baker

This book started life as a series of talks on Hebrews 11 on the nature and practice of faith. It was a time of change in our local church: a change in leadership, a change in building and -even more significantly-a shift in what may be called an "ideology of purpose." By this phrase, I refer to a corporate sense of journeying, a fluid spirituality of mobility. We began increasingly to define ourselves as the People of God on the Move, not bound or defined by buildings or structures. And in this new context, we began to appreciate the words of Hebrews 11 spoken over Abraham: "By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." This profound sense of "living in tents" as a corporate expression of the life of faith is the subject of this book.

The Company of Jesus

By: Dr Ken Baker

This book is a study of the Gospel of Luke. More specifically, it is a study of the ecclesiology of that Gospel. It is written in an easy, devotional style and emerges from the ongoing life of Ken's local church family. It includes sermons, songs, prayers and poetry along with straightforward exposition of a Biblical text that characterises the life of the Company of Jesus as -in Ken's words- "simple, mobile and urgent.

The Sanctified Mind

By: Dr Ken Baker

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Sanctified Mind

By: Dr Ken Baker

The Apostle Paul associated life ""in the Spirit"" with changes in the ""mind"" (Rom 8) and urged believers to be ""transformed"" by the renewing of their minds (Rom 12:2), ""and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."" (Eph 4:17-23). This book is a pastoral analysis of how that works. It seeks to look practically at the radical change envisaged in the New Testament. The word Paul uses repeatedly for ""mind"" is nous -"the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling, judging, determining; the intellectual faculty." What is it, "to be renewed in the spirit of your minds"? What does that "new self" look like, when "created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness""? This book claims that the language of the New Testament is not aspiration but experience.

COLOSSIANS: "Presenting you Holy"

COLOSSIANS: "Presenting you Holy"

By: Dr Ken Baker

I guess every believer is conscious of wanting to go further with God, to dig deeper, and to climb higher. Paul himself said, "Not that I have already arrived, but I press on..." But the New Testament, whilst stating that qualification, also provides an astonishing optimism of grace - a marvellous confidence that God can do "all things" in and through us. The little book of Colossians expresses that confidence to a high degree. The writer is not daunted by the poor quality of the believers, neither by the sins of their past nor the distractions of their present. In simple, powerful prose, he outlines a challenge which is worth taking up. It is the challenge of Christian holiness. Jesus Christ has done a work - the past tense is exhilarating- so that he might offer us to God "holy and blameless and irreproachable." It is God's design, that is, that we are "presented holy." It is the purpose of this book to explore how Colossians enables that undertaking.

The Making of a U.S. Marine Scholar

Leading and Learning in the Bear Pit

By: Dr. George A. Baker III

This, the first of three books, takes the reader from Baker’s childhood experiences that contributed to his education as a leader, both in the military and in academia. At age sixteen he joined the South Carolina National Guard, where he served as a communicator in a 155 Howitzer Battery, in Sumter, South Carolina. On Christmas Eve, 1949, his mother, in desperate straits, took the life of his alcoholic father. Thereafter, the court finding her “not responsible” for her actions, she was institutionalized. He finished high school at Warren Wilson College, where he met the love of his life, Irene Case, from Charlotte. His Cold War experience ended when his Air National Guard unit was activated for the Korean War, in June of 1950. George Baker transferred to Presbyterian College, in Clinton, SC, where he qualified for the USMC Platoon Leader’s Course. Immediately thereupon he married Irene and upon graduation was commissioned a 2nd LT. In 1965, he entered The Basic School, at Quantico, VA and thereafter was assigned to the 2nd Marine Division, at Camp Lejeune, NC. He was then assigned to the 10th Marines (Regt), as a Forward Observer. Thereafter, he attended Ft Sill for two short artillery proficiency courses, becoming a regular USMC officer, and was assigned to sea duty aboard the USS Rockbridge, out of Norfolk VA. There he served for two years, two tours served in support of NATO forces. His next assignment brought him back to the 10th Marines as a battery commander. In 1965, Baker joined the 1st Marine Brigade in Hawaii, forward deployed to Okinawa, and landed in Vietnam in the Spring, of 1965. At the end of that combat tour, Baker received orders to a Naval facility in support of the President of the United States, commonly known as Camp David. Book Two, subtitled Hail to the Chief, continues this saga.

Imagining a World

By: Dr Ken Baker

This book is a cave of old echoes, a journal of quotes and thoughts from many years of reading, praying and considering. It comes down to forty short reflections on what is important in this business of being alive. The reflections emerge from what -in the old-fashioned term to which I am still addicted- I call "Morning Quiet Times." I was asked to provide a series of three-minute reflective clips for radio and so have been glad to extract them from their mothballs and see how they stand in the light of day.

Four Radical Voices

Four Radical Voices

By: Dr Ken Baker

During the 18th Century, or rather overlapping it somewhat, four radical voices spoke out in Bandon, County Cork, creating a strong impression that has continued to this day. Though each voice came from a (broadly) Christian context, they were sternly critical of the established Church, totally committed to social activism, and energetically engaged in bringing about change. In different ways they each paid dearly for their faith-stance. In this little book we examine the contribution of John WESLEY, William HAZLITT, Dean SWIFT and George FOX.

Grace Notes

Grace Notes

By: Dr Ken Baker

A "grace note" is a music notation that the individual performer has to interpret for himself. Isn't that amazing? Here's the main melody (the composer seemed to say), and sort the rest of it out for yourself! It's like a parable for how to do life. There are general broad principles to follow, like the Ten Commandments, but the real fun comes in the grace notes, the extra bits that you learn to play by feel. The New Testament word is Charis. In modern Greek it's the word for birthday present! Imagine that. Something you just don't deserve at all, but which is rather nice and makes you smile inside. This is a prayer journal: that is to say, it's a daily-collected random assortment of prayers, notes from books that I'm reading and reflections on my daily reading of the Bible. Some of these pieces made it into sermons, or even into magazine articles. Most languished in online blogs, until summoned into service into this little book of grace-notes. Hope you hear the song.

This book is a devotional exposition of the "Lord's Prayer" -the pattern prayer that Jesus offered to his disciples two thousand years ago. Different aspects of the Christian life are discussed, as the Prayer brings them to the fore: the place of prayer itself; relationship with God and with each other; and the call to a rigorous honesty and integrity in the way we live together.

All that God Has for You

All that God Has for You

By: Dr Ken Baker

Taking one Psalm for a whole month requires calm development of the skill of listening. But Ken's conviction is that God loves to speak to us. It requires a conscious recognition of one's prejudices and preconceived ideas, and then a dropping of one's guard. God, you will find, is happy to work with us where we are. Hebrews begins with an acknowledgment that "In many and various ways" he spoke in times past. He speaks the same Word, but there are still many and various ways in the speaking. But the more I listen, the more He can say. The more He says, the more I am changed. Jim George once said: "If you need a guide for your ongoing relationship with God, read Psalms.

The Quakers and the Famine in West Cork

By: Dr Ken Baker

In this lecture, we will consider the work of the Quakers in relation to the Potato Famine during the years 1845-1848 with particular reference to County Cork. There are a few preliminary notes to make. First, just who were the Quakers? In answer to this question, we'll investigate their origin and development in Bandon (as an important West Cork market town) during the last years of the seventeenth century and into the next century. Second, we must sketch a picture of what this area of Ireland "looked like" during the years just before the Famine and attempt answers to the question: "Why was the Famine of 1846 so catastrophic?" The historical and geographical context has been described as "An explosion ready to happen." So we ask, briefly: why was this the case? Third: a mention must be made of the social positioning of the Quakers around 1845. The intriguing question must be asked: "How did this [relatively small] group create such an impact?

The Making of a Marine-Scholar

Leading and Learning in the Bear Pit

By: Dr. George A. Baker III

Dr. George A. Baker III distinguished himself both as a marine and educator; in this memoir, he looks back at a long life dedicated to serving others. From his boyhood in Sumter, South Carolina, to entering the service during the Cold War to his experiences on the battlefield, Baker examines his actions and those of others with refreshing honesty. As a confidante and contemporary to high-ranking military men, presidents, and Washington insiders, Bakers ascension through the military ranks allowed him to witness and analyze political and social changes from a unique perspective. He ultimately rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and his perspective of the Cold War, Vietnam, and politics provided him with a strong foundation to excel in his second career as an educator. Baker draws upon his experiences as a soldier, tactician, and teacher to share a theory of leadership that can be applied in various settings. Numerous vignettes offer powerful learning opportunities in various contexts. In The Making of a Marine-Scholar, discover untold history as well as what it really means to serve your country and fellow man. Baker presents a blueprint for living a rewarding life that has purpose and meaning.
