The Man from Steamtown: The Story of F. Nelson Blount

The throbbing sound of the steam-driven pistons and sight of the flashing drive-rods quickened the boy's pulse. He had heard and seen it all from his bedroom window, but now he had stepped-in person-into the wonderful world of steam. F. Nelson Blount's interest in steam engines began when he was only four. As he grew up, he studied and wrote about them, often traveling many miles to see one. Yet it was years before he was able to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer. With his keen head for business and unyielding perseverance, Nelson became a millionaire in the seafood industry before he was thirty. Over the years, he did stunt flying and deep-sea fishing. He collected old guns, vintage cars, and finally, a railroad with a "thundering herd" of steam locomotives to preserve the wonderful Steam Age. Thus Steamtown, USA, was born, and Nelson fulfilled his lifelong dream. But none of this brought him true happiness or peace. It took his wife's near-fatal automobile accident to make Nelson realize that money has its limits, and there are some things only God can do. This led to Nelson's dramatic conversion and a relationship with Jesus Christ that turned him into a dynamic witness who put hundreds on track for the Lord. Even though Nelson died five years later, he left a legacy that is still impacting people today. The Man from Steamtown tells his amazing story.

Packer on the Christian Life: Knowing God in Christ, Walking by the Spirit

J. I. Packer is widely recognized as a pillar of 20th-century evangelicalism and has had a profound impact on millions of Christians living today. Now in his late eighties, Packer still exerts an enormous influence on pastors and laypeople around the world through his many books, articles, and recorded lectures―works that overflow with spiritual wisdom related to the Christian life. In this soul-stirring book, well-known pastor Sam Storms explores Packer's legacy and profound insights into prayer, Bible study, the sovereignty of God, the Christian's fight against sin, and more, offering readers the chance to learn from a true evangelical titan. The importance of Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck to Reformed theology is difficult to overstate. Bavinck's comprehensive four volume systematic theology, Reformed Dogmatics, is a modern classic that has influenced countless pastors and theologians over the past 100 years. In Bavinck on the Christian Life, scholar John Bolt brings the great Dutch theologian's life and work to bear on following Jesus in the 21st century. By practically applying Bavinck's systematic works to the Christian life and looking at the life of the man himself, this book shows the direct connection between robust theology, practical holiness, and personal joy. John Owen is widely hailed as one of the greatest theologians of all time. His many works―especially those encouraging Christians in their struggle against sin―continue to speak powerfully to readers today, offering much-needed spiritual guidance for following Christ and resisting temptation day in and day out. Starting with an overview of Owen's life, ministry, and historical context, Michael Haykin and Matthew Barrett introduce readers to the pillars of Owen's spiritual life. From exploring his understanding of believers' fellowship with the triune God to highlighting his teaching on justification, this study invites us to learn about the Christian life from the greatest of the English Puritans. Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

Where Was God When I Needed Him Most?: Mother’s Promise Led Me to Christ

This book illustrates the powerful effect David Clark´s mother, Jan Clark, had on her son. Her influence began even before David was born. Jan’s pregnancy with David was terrifyingly difficult. Her doctor, due to his grave concerns for Jan’s life, felt compelled to do everything he could to terminate the pregnancy. Amidst these extreme circumstances, Jan made a promise to her unborn child that changed everything! Follow David Clark as he recounts experiences in which his mother kept this promise and led him to Christ. Notwithstanding that foundation in Christ, however, David years later, found himself feeling isolated and abandoned by God when he became 100% disabled and bedridden due to his military service in Iraq. He went from being an award-winning lawyer, a decorated military officer, and an Elder in his church to becoming completely dependent on others. It was only when David began remembering what his mother taught him about Jesus Christ years earlier that he finally found the peace and rest that comes solely through the Lord. In this book, you will learn: - God hears and answers prayers. - We can find peace in Christ, especially in our most heart-wrenching trials. - Jesus does not give up on us, nor will He ever abandon us! - The truth found in Proverbs 22:6 (“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” KJV). - The power parents can have when they share why they believe in God, how their faith has blessed their own lives and provide opportunities for their children to gain that knowledge and experience for themselves.

Along The Way: A Priest's Journey of Joys and Challenges

This work is the result of a great deal of reflection on the rich experiences of more than 50 years in Ministry. I recognize how many wonderful encounters I have had 'AlongThe Way.' As I reflect in my introduction, I sensed what Michelangelo felt when he observed a block of marble and had to “ release” David. I knew that if I had to 'released” both the joy and challenges, ups and downs, questions and answers that comprise my many years of Priestly service. I attempted to do so for two reasons: to share the lessons that I both learned and taught because I feel that they resonated with The Human Experience With which others could identify, and as a source of encouragement two others to 'tell their stories' and the richness that flows from them. Through autobiographical sketches, a journey through various assignments, pastoral vignettes (mostly humorous but some very serious stories), I tried to 'connect the dots' as it were between God and the experience of Our Lives. In focusing on various people whom I might have encountered I reflect on the value of relationships and how we are shaped by them. In my final section 'essays' I attempt to apply my experiences and the wisdom gained from those experiences to some contemporary issues and common human situations that affect us all.

[German] - Solange du liebst: Botschaften einer Rebellin

Mechthild von Magdeburg (1207-1282) stammte aus einem wohlhabenden, vermutlich adligen Geschlecht aus dem Erzbistum Magdeburg. Sie kämpft gegen alle Widerstände ihrer Zeit, predigt wider überkommene Religionsvorstellungen und trotzt mächtigen Kirchenvätern. Nur knapp entgeht sie dabei dem Scheiterhaufen. Die Mystikerin lebte dreissig Jahre als Begine nach der Dominikanerregel in Magdeburg, seit 1270 im Zisterzienserinnenkloster in Helfta. Ihr Beichtvater, der Dominikanermönch Heinrich von Halle sammelte ihre Aufzeichnungen. Das ursprünglich niederdeutsch geschriebene Werk von hoher dichterischer Qualität bezeichnete Mechthild als «Das fliessende Licht der Gottheit». In der feministischen Mittelalterforschung wird Mechthild von Magdeburg als Ikone der Frauenmystik verehrt. Die Autorin, Dr. Sonja A. Buholzer, gehört zu den bekanntesten Schweizer Unternehmerinnen und befasst sich seit ihrer Dissertation mit dem Leben der Mechthild von Magdeburg und hat die Geschichte einer Rebellin in einen packenden Roman gekleidet. Die in unserer Zeit der Digitalmoderne besonders aktuelle Botschaft lautet: Liebe, Mut und Ethik. Cordula Trantow, die erfolgreiche deutsche Film- und Theaterschauspielerin, Regisseurin und Intendantin gibt dieser bedeutenden Mystikerin ihre Stimme. Der von ihr gelesene biografische Roman wird musikalisch begleitet von der Musik der beiden mittelalterlichen Musikgruppen 'Capella Antiqua Bambergensis' (www.capella-antiqua.de) und 'Nimmersêlich' (www.nimmerselich.de).
