Invitation To A Funeral
Author: Molly Brown
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1466859784
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
APHRA BEHN is an unusual woman by any standard, especially those of 1676 London. A popular playwright and former spy, she does not bow to convention, does not always have the fortitude to turn a charming, but alcoholic attorney from her bed, and currently, does not have the funds to pay the rent on her London home. But a long-shot bet--that the Earl of Rochester's doltish young mistress can improve her painfully poor acting enough to play the lead in Aphra's latest play--could have her in the clear again. Until she's indebted to pay for the funerals of two brothers whose kindness helped her years ago. And the debt goes further than that--both deaths smack of murder, and Aphra is determined to find a killer and uncover a deadly secret...one that could engage all of England in a bloody civil war. From the squalid streets of London to the grand chambers of Whitehall Palace, author Molly Brown vividly recreates Restoration England at its most uproarious, while crafting a brilliant novel of history, humor, and heart-pounding intrigue.

Book Description
This volume contains the five "Royal" books by Frances Ridley Havergal. My King was first published in 1877. Royal Commandments and Royal Bounty were published together later in 1877. The Royal Invitation was published in 1878. Loyal Responses was published later in 1878. As she wrote in her Prefatory Note to Loyal Responses (on page 372 of this book), she regarded these as a set. My King. "The source of the Kingship of Christ is God Himself in the eternal counsels of His love. . . . Having provided, He appointed and anointed His King." The sections of this book are taken from Old Testament texts. "Why has God made Jesus King? Because the Lord loved His people. He knows our need of a King." Royal Commandments. "Some of His Royal Commandments are made so 'plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth.' . . . Some are engraved upon the gems of promise; and as we look closely into the fair colours of each jewel that the hand of faith receives, we find that it is enriched by an unerasable line of precept. But all are royal, and all are 'from Him, ' our King. And He has said, 'If ye love Me, keep My commandments.' " Royal Bounty. "The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasure." (Deuteronomy 28:12) This book describes the gracious provision of our King to His subjects, the benefits of the Christian life, the unsearchable riches of Christ in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. "Faith is the key to this infinite treasury." The Royal Invitation. "The human heart within us craves a personal, living rest and refuge. . . . The great word of Invitation, Royal and Divine, is given to us, 'Come unto Me.' " This is the Son of God, mighty to save and ready to save all who come unto Him. In Him are life and peace. Loyal Responses. These are 31 poems, in which "almost every line has been either directly drawn from Holy Scripture or 'may be proved thereby.' May not only our lips but our lives be filled with Loyal Responses to all the words of our King "

Jesus in Context
Author: David Wenham
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108752233
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Jesus changed our world forever. But who was he and what do we know about him? David Wenham's accessible volume is a concise and wide-ranging engagement with that enduring and elusive subject. Exploring the sources for Jesus and his scholarly reception, he surveys information from Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, and also examines the origins of the gospels, as well as the evidence of Paul, who had access to the earliest oral traditions about Jesus. Wenham demonstrates that the Jesus of the New Testament makes sense within the first century CE context in which he lived and preached. He offers a contextualized portrait of Jesus and his teaching; his relationship with John the Baptist and the Qumran community (and the Dead Sea Scrolls); his ethics and the Sermon on the Mount, his successes and disappointments. Wenham also brings insights into Jesus' vision of the future and his understanding of his own death and calling.

Recognizing the Messiah's Message
Author: Jeffrey Leath
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490870776
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Hebrews were waiting for the Messiah to come and set them free; free from the bondage of the Roman enemy. But then, announced to a group of shepherds one night, the Messiah arrived, was wrapped in strips of cloth, and took His royal position in a feed trough. This was the Son of God who takes away the sins of the world! He was given authority from His Father. He would show signs of His Messiahship and have a great following because of His miraculous healings; even bringing the dead back to life! But His message was confusing to some. He didnt meet the expectations of the Messiah. He said that we should love our enemies. He said that God was a loving heavenly Father and even referred to Him as Daddy (Abba Father). And then there was His message of relating to God through humility. Matthews writing helped the early Hebrew Christians recognize Jesus is the Messiah; an important message that encourages one to stand firmly in faith. Recognizing and identifying with the Messiahs message will lead us to call upon our one true Teacher and Savior, Jesus Christ through whom we receive Gods loving grace and mercy.
