Every child has heard of Guy Fawkes and will most likely have watched a 'guy' being burnt on a bonfire and fireworks lighting up the night sky on Bonfire Night. This book answers the questions of history that lie behind the celebrations of 5 November. Who was Guy Fawkes and how to did he come to be below the chamber of the House of Lords in the first hour of 5 November 1605? What desperation drove those involved to plan a horrific massacre of the Protestant royal family and government? Alan Hayne's probing analysis offers the clearest, most balanced view yet of often conflicting evidence, as he disentangles the threads of disharmony, intrigue, betrayal, terror and retribution. In this updated edition he gathers together startling evidence to uncover the depth and extent of the plot, and how close the plotters came to de-stabilising the government in one of the most notorious terrorist plots of British history. This enthralling book will grip the general reader, while the scope of its detailed research will require historians of the period to consider again the commanding importance of the plot throughout the seventeenth century.
A book on God’s greatness that helps you to trust him, grow in faith and live confidently. What’s the secret to truly trusting God so that we can rest easy at night? How can we have the same faith and confidence as David who said: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety” (Ps 4:8)? The answer lies in focusing on God’s greatness. When we consider God’s greatness, we usually tend to think about what God can do. However, this book explores 12 things that God can’t do. They all express aspects of his nature and character which we can embrace with relief, celebrate with joy and worship with awe. You will marvel both at God’s otherness and at how he became one of us in the person of Jesus. Read this book to grow in faith, live with confidence and rest easy at night, trusting in the God who never sleeps.
Excerpt from A Collection of Theological Tracts, Vol. 5 of 6 The argument for the Truth of Christianity which is taken from the history of the definition of Jerusalem as related by Josephus, compared with our Saviour's prediction of that event recorded by the Evangelists Matthew, Mark, and Luke, has always been considered as one of the strongest which can be urged, either against the Jews in particular, or against Unbelievers in general. In modern times this argument has been illustrated by Jackson in the first volume of his works, 1673; by Tillotson in the 12th vol. (8vo ed.) of his Sermons; by Kidder in his Demonstration of the Messiah; by Whitby in his Commentary on St. Matthew, and in his General Preface; by Sharpe in a discourse intituled, The Rise and Fall of the Holy City and Temple of Jerusalem, preached at the Temple Church, 1764; and, to mention no others, by Jotin in the first vol. of his Remarks on Ecclesiastical History. This author has also well proved, not only that the Gospels, in which the predictions of Christ relative to the destruction of Jerusalem are delivered, were written before that event; but that the predictions themselves could not have been inserted into the Gospels, as interpolations, after the event: the reader will not esteem this to have been an unnecessary labour, who recollects the confidence with which Voltaire, with a view probably of evading the force of the Argument in question, declares, that the Gospels were written after Jerusalem was destroyed - fans doubte apres la destruction de Jerusalem. - Many an unbeliever is apt to think and fay, that he would have faith in the Gospel, if he could fee a mail raised from the dead, or any one notable miracle performed in attestation of its truth; now the completion of an ancient prophecy is, to us who fee the completion, a Miracle; and I would sincerely recommend it to every one, who is not steadfast in the faith, to examine carefully, and liberally, whether the prophecies - concerning Jerusalem being trodden under foot of the Gentiles - concerning the sterility of Palestine - the state of the Jewish people - the introduction of the Gentiles into the Church of God - the apostasy of the latter times - the Independency of the Arabs - the Servitude of Ham's posterity, &c. have not been laterally fuelled. These things are facts which fall within our own observation, and if we search the Scriptures we shall find that these facts were predicted long before either we or our fathers were born.
