The greatest wonders of God in American history happened in the time of Charles Finney. This time was referred to as the "Second Great Awakening" and many cities and regions felt the supernatural works performed through him for decades. However, many did not know that behind this great man stood a fervent, loyal supporter who interceded for the success of Charles Finney's efforts. The book you now hold in your hands is the story of an incredibly anointed man by the name of Daniel Nash. He was a man of great vision, quiet by nature and extremely humble. He was best known as a mighty man in prayer for he prayed in ways that would make many uncomfortable. According to some researchers, he was Finney's secret ingredient. Charles Finney retired to the pastoral calling three or four months after the death of Daniel Nash. This is perhaps one of the most powerful stories on a prayer warrior ever recorded! It was difficult for me to find factual information on Daniel Nash as there were so much false information and confusion surrounding him. Did you know there were actually two great, godly men by the name of Father Nash? Yes, indeed, and I can prove it as I personally went to both gravesites in two separate cities and interviewed experts who knew. Unfortunately, some information had been credited to the wrong Father Nash, therefore giving confusing information to the public. I believe I have written the most accurate book on Charles Finney's Daniel Nash available. In this book, I have drawn many prophetic applications from the life and experiences of Father Nash that I hope will encourage you. My prayer is that this book will inspire other forerunners of revival to use their own fervent prayers to exponentially impact the world with the Gospel. That intercession would again open the way for another powerful awakening that this world has yet to see!Steve has written many books and has a special anointing to bring forth the deep truths of the Spirit, with a clarity and simplicity that draws one up into a closer walk and deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.

Em 1859, o livro seminal de Charles Darwin Sobre a Origem das Espécies por Meios de Selecção Natural foi publicado e apresentou a ideia inovadora de que todas as espécies na Terra são o resultado de um lento processo de evolução e continuam a evoluir como parte da luta agora vulgarmente conhecida como a sobrevivência dos mais aptos. As conclusões de Darwin foram o fruto de muitos anos de observação cuidadosa, mas revelaram-se controversas porque desafiaram o dogma religioso dominante e revolucionaram a nossa compreensão do mundo que nos rodeia. Em apenas 50 minutos, aprenderá sobre as contribuições de Darwin e Alfred Russel Wallace para a biologia e compreenderá o grande impacto que as suas ideias tiveram no pensamento científico no século XIX. Este livro simples e informativo proporciona uma discussão aprofundada das ideias contidas em Sobre a Origem das Espécies e das observações em que elas se baseiam. Apresenta também biografias de Darwin e Wallace, uma introdução valiosa ao contexto político, social e económico e uma avaliação do impacto da teoria da evolução, dando-lhe toda a informação essencial sobre o desenvolvimento do darwinismo. Sobre a teoria da evolução de Darwin : A teoria da evolução postula que as espécies não são imutáveis, como implica o criacionismo, mas que são o resultado de um lento processo de evolução de um antepassado comum. Darwin fez as observações que lançaram as bases da sua teoria da selecção natural durante a sua viagem a bordo do Beagle, e trabalhou constantemente para as refinar durante os próximos 20 anos antes de publicar o seu livro revolucionário.
