John Pollock Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Na stránkách tohoto životopisu se setkáváme s příběhem muže, který vtiskl vznikající křesťanské církvi určitý charakteristický rys – poodhalil podstatu Boží milosti, odpuštění a lásky, které přemáhají všechny nesnáze světa i života. Máme zde jedinečnou možnost nahlédnout do života jednoho z nejvzdělanějších učenců své doby, který se ze zapřisáhlého pronásledovatele Kristových následovníků stane horlivým zvěstovatelem Spasitele lidstva. Misijní zápal apoštola Pavla, který je ochoten pro dobrou zvěst snášet veškeré ústrky, nepohodlí a pronásledování od nepřátel, se stal pro mnohé jeho následovníky velkou inspirací. John Pollock, který sám autem projel cesty, kterými před dvěma tisíci lety Pavel – Apoštol pohanů kráčel, se pokouší interpretovat život a dílo, které odolalo času i společenským změnám.

Ojedinělá práce o Pánu Ježíši Kristu, která sleduje jeho kroky od počátků služby, přes události Velikonočního týdne až po slavné zmrtvýchvstání.

This biography is the story of General Charles Gordon - his exploits in the Crimean War, his secondment to the Chinese government to defeat the Boxer rebels, his care of street boys in Gravesend, his rule in Sudan and persecution of the slave trade and, finally, his death in 1885 trying to save the people of Khartoum from fire and sword - remains one of the great sagas of the 19th century. The author has used extensive manuscript sources to reveal the zeal of Gordon, telling his story from an objective viewpoint. After Gordon's death the legend grew of the perfect hero. Then, a second legend grew - of the tarnished hero, the secret drinker, perhaps something worse. This has dominated and distorted his biographies. This book rehabilitates the reputation of one of Victorian England's great heroes, and places the man's Christian faith at the heart of his life. John Pollock is the author of "The Apostle", "John Wesley", "Shaftesbury" and "George Whitefield".

An updated account of the inspiring and influential life of Dr. Billy GrahamWhen the hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, President Bush immediately proclaimed a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance. For the interfaith, interdenominational service at the Washington National Cathedral he chose Billy Graham to give the address. At that terrible hour no other clergyman, whatever his office, could so aptly bring the Word of God to America---and a watching world.At eighty-four, Billy Graham remains one of the most respected people in the world today. He has addressed over eighty-two million people face to face and at least one billion people through television, radio, and satellite. Yet he is far more than an evangelist of integrity and vision; he is a Christian statesman whose profound influence on the growth and depth of Christianity across the world cannot be overestimated.

Hudson and Maria Taylor's story is one of adventure and excitement with improbable answers to prayer, opposition from the establishment and triumphs of faith.
