""East and West London: Being Notes of Common Life and Pastoral Work in Saint James's, Westminster and in Saint George's-in-the-East"" is a book written by Harry Jones and published in 1875. The book provides a detailed account of the author's experiences in two very different areas of London - the affluent Saint James's in Westminster and the impoverished Saint George's-in-the-East. Jones, who was a pastor, writes about the challenges and rewards of ministering to people from vastly different backgrounds. He describes the poverty and squalor of Saint George's-in-the-East, where he worked with the poor and destitute, and contrasts it with the luxury and excess of Saint James's, where he ministered to the wealthy and privileged. The book is a fascinating snapshot of life in Victorian London, with vivid descriptions of the people, places, and events that Jones encountered in his work. It provides a unique perspective on the social and economic disparities that existed in the city at the time, and the efforts of those who sought to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. Overall, ""East and West London"" is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers a valuable insight into the realities of life in Victorian London. It is a must-read for anyone interested in social history, urban studies, or the history of religion in the UK.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

God never intends His calling for our lives to be a mystery to solve or a list of things to do. It's an open invitation to know Him intimately. The deeper we know God and dwell in His Word, the more naturally we discern His will. The secret is that there is no secret. This book will not teach you how to look for 'signs'. discover your gifts or hear a 'voice'. Nor will it tell you which career, ministry or marriage partner to choose. Rather, this book will take you on a journey through 24 Bible stories and examine how God calls His people and how people respond (or fail to respond). Drawing from four decades of experience in counselling and walking alongside seminary students in Hong Kong, Dr Philip Yeung uses Scripture powerfully and practically to address common misconceptions, questions and struggles expressed by Christians about discerning God's calling.

How Sound Doctrine Influences Every Area of the Christian LifeDoctrine might be something you've heard in church, but how does it impact your life? Christian doctrine examines what the Bible teaches about particular topics, such as the nature of God, the nature of humanity, how humans should live, and more. By understanding biblical truths, believers have the tools to understand God, interpret Scripture, and live godly lives. In this addition to the Church Questions series, Samuel James addresses how doctrine influences every area of life for the believer. Many individuals know that their beliefs matter in certain areas of life, such as politics, but don't always understand how key biblical principles like the Trinity, ecclesiology, and the atonement should shape their everyday lives. It is easy to think that doctrine is only for theologians, but in reality, it is essential for everyone-humanity was created to know the truth about God, themselves, and the world.

When individuals talk about an afterlife, they often talk about heaven and avoid any mention of hell. The idea of hell is uncomfortable and most people prefer to not discuss it. Given this reality, our society lacks an understanding of what hell is, why it exists, and how people can avoid it. Pastor Dane Ortlund has written this Church Questions booklet to educate readers on the reality of hell and the hope found in Jesus Christ. Using a variety of biblical passages, Ortlund explains that God is just, righteous, and deals perfectly with humanity. In light of God's holiness and our sin, we fall woefully short of heaven. Humanity deserves hell, but heaven is offered to believers through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I was touched by the Lord's hand in my sleep, awakening to His voice asking if I knew His servant, Jack Andre Vernaud. I replied affirmatively and was then prompted to include him in the upcoming book, "50 Kinds of Christian." This book explores various Christians, particularly those from priesthood families like Rick Warren, Oral Roberts, Daniel Kolenda, Joshua Heward Mills, Francis Agyinasare and Selase Agyinasare, and others, who carry an heritage of anointing from their lineage. The book encourages readers to be inspired by the best kinds of Christians, characterized by their faithfulness, prayerfulness, and sacrificial nature.

Your community is multilingual. What about your church? In a world where communities thrive with diverse languages, why should our churches lag behind? As migration increases and technology, like livestreaming, becomes commonplace, the need for multilingual churches is more pressing than ever. Still, many churches and mission organizations struggle with one-size-fits-all language solutions, while others desperately seek guidance to embrace multilingualism. This is why we need Jonathan Downie's pioneering work Multilingual Church. It dives into forty years of studies on interpreting, theological wisdom, and practical insights from multiethnic churches. Why settle for one language when the gospel speaks to all? Downie masterfully illustrates the motivation and method for creating a truly multilingual church. From recognizing this urgent need, to uncovering our biblical mandate and choosing the right tools, he provides a comprehensive roadmap for the journey. Multilingual Church is more than a guide; it's a groundbreaking invitation to reflect Christ's universal love. Downie equips church leaders with the resources they need to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing, multilingual landscape. Are you ready to transform your congregation? The path starts here, united in faith across languages.
