The Revell Story

Publisher: Revell
ISBN: 1493423320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Discover the history of one of the most influential Christian publishers in the world In 1870, a young man started a publishing company in a young city. Fleming H. Revell was just twenty-one when he set up shop on Madison Street in Chicago, partnering with his brother-in-law, Dwight L. Moody, already a well-known evangelist. From the stepping stone of publishing Moody's sermons, Revell launched into decades of collaboration, first in Chicago and then in New York City, with authors such as R. A. Torrey, Charles H. Spurgeon, Hannah Whitall Smith, William Jennings Bryan, Catherine Marshall, David Wilkerson, Corrie ten Boom, Charles Colson, and Helen Steiner Rice. So how did this East Coast publishing powerhouse end up as a division of a family-owned, independent publisher in humble West Michigan? Who were the owners, authors, and employees who carried the torch into the twenty-first century? This is the story of a passion for the power of the printed word. A story of rises and falls, triumphs and trials, missteps and miracles. Discover how, through 150 tumultuous years of history, the Revell legacy has been handed down through a series of diligent people dedicated to the work of offering hope and help to readers everywhere.

Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table
Author: Louie Giglio
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 9780785247227
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Louie Giglio helps you find encouragement, hope, and strength in the midst of any valley as you reject the enemy voices of fear, rage, lust, insecurity, anxiety, despair, temptation, or defeat. Scripture is clear: the Enemy is a liar who will stop at nothing to tempt you into poor decisions and self-defeating mindsets, making you feel afraid, angry, anxious, or defeated. It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back. Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. With the same bold, exciting approach to Scripture as employed in Goliath Must Fall and his other previous works, pastor Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." You can find freedom from insecurity, temptation, and defeat--if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart. This spiritual warfare book for those who are leery of spiritual warfare books will resonate with Louie's core Passion tribe as well as with Christians of all ages who want to live a triumphant life in God.
