One lesson that the history of church dogmatics should have taught us is not to be overly dogmatic! This book is a simple presentation regarding Holy Spirit baptism. The position taken generally represents both the Pentecostal and the Charasmatic viewpoints. Its approach is somewhere in the middle of the road. The overall position regarding the baptism in the Holy Spirit depends on establishing four things: - That there is available to every Christian an experience known as "Holy Spirit Baptism." - That new birth or "regeneration" and the baptism are separate and distinct experiences that may occur simultaneously at times. - The "glossolalia" (speaking in tongues) is the usual initial evidence that a person has been baptized in the Holy Spirit. - The miracles gifts of the Spirit (the charismata) are still available and should be occurring in the worship of today's church. True glossolalia is not a product of human imagination, it has a spiritual and not a mental origin.

"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." (Psalms 91:11-12 KJV) Angels are this very day, doing exactly as they did in Bible days: guiding revealing, protecting and participating in the blessing of mankind, by virtue of God's immeasurable grace. This volume is the first of a two-volume set that takes a hard look into the kingdom of light... and the kingdom of darkness. It is the author's hope that these studies will greatly enrich your understanding of the place of angels and demons in God's world. These volumes take a strictly, non-anecdotal approach to the subject matter, adhering strictly to only principles and experiences that come directly from God's Word. Every attempt has been made to avoid the "sensationalistic" approach to the unseen world of spiritual activity. The lessons are designed to enhance your confidence in God, and to ensure your participation in every aspect of the victory that Jesus has provided His saints.

If you have been looking for a balanced study of the themes of divorce and re-marriage, the ministry of women, the place of glossolalia in the modern church, along with an exploration of other riches found in Paul's wonderful First letter to the Corinthians, then you are holding it in your hands right now! Ken Chant manages to encompass all these within the pages of this one book, yet each theme is sufficiently well-covered to satisfy the demands of most readers. The work is scholarly, well-researched, yet very readable, and is packed with insights and gems of wisdom, drawn from the author's 60 years of ministry as a pastor, writer, teacher, and preacher. Some of the other themes dealt with are incest; the church and the legal system; the eucharist; the question of miracles and a charismatic church; the resurrection of Christ and of the dead at the end of the age; and the question of tithing. Treasures indeed! This is a book to read and to go back to again and again. It would be a worthy addition to anyone's library.

This book is a Reformed/Calvinist response to Keith Mathison's multi-authored book When Shall These Things Be, which was a critique and condemnation of (full) preterism. David Green, Edward Hassertt, and Michael Sullivan demonstrate that the advent of preterism in church history is the result of "organic development" from within the historic, Reformed church, and that it represents the uniting of the divided house of Reformed eschatology. As the authors navigate through the confusing maze of the Mathison volume, they overturn the arguments that the authors of that book levied against the truth that Jesus Himself taught in no uncertain terms. This Second Edition includes added material throughout the book, especially chapter four (the response to Mathison's chapter in When Shall These Things Be). It also includes an Appendix in response to critics of the first edition of House Divided.

How do you write a book about the most wonderful theme in the universe? Dr Ken Chant struggled with that question when he resolved to write about God. But of course, the task is absurd! Can finite words ever explain the infinite? Can something created ever truly comprehend the creator? No! Any human description of God must be deeply inadequate, like someone trying to describe a lovely panorama that can be seen only through a piece of dark and scratchy glass. At best a clear glimpse can be had here and there, while the rest of view remains shadowed and indistinct. Still, something can be seen. And so it is with God. We cannot do better than see a little here and a little there. Our knowledge must remain partial and fragmented (1 Co 13:9). But because we cannot know everything, it does not follow that we cannot know anything! And this book is an attempt to discover what scripture does reveal to us about the great and glorious God we worship. It includes, too, a discussion about the puzzling question of the future - is it wholly known by God, or only partly? The book is not so much a formal treatise as it is a series of wondering meditations, looking at the Lord with awe, love, adoration, and a song of endless praise!
