Bøger af A. Blake White

When one monk nailed his challenges to the door of the Catholic Church, he had no idea that it would open a crack leading all the way down to the very foundation of medieval theology. He started out only to reform papal errors, but ended up sparking a wholesale return to the biblical gospel, grace, and the Word of Jesus Christ. 'Protestant', a term first used against the followers of this renegade monk by his opponents, was eventually embraced as a rallying cry for participants in the Reformation. This book by A. Blake White will walk you through the five foundational beliefs of those who fought alongside Martin Luther for the purity of the Christian faith. The need for Christians to uphold these truths is as strong today as it was in the 16th century.

"Everyone loves the book of Philippians. Rightly so. It is short, sweet, and full of gospel truth and rich application," says author Blake White. Think of all the verses most Christians know by heart: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion in Christ Jesus. To live is Christ and to die is gain. At the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It's good to know Bible verses, it's better to know how they fit into the larger flow and context of the book. With his characteristic pastoral care, Blake White shows how Philippians calls us to love like Jesus. When we do, we find joy, unity, and increasing passion for the gospel.
