A scholarly examination of the emergence of English Pentecostalism at the beginning of the twentieth century. This study aims to elucidate the origins of how the Pentecostal message came to England, highlighting reasons for its appeal to an initially small constituency, while tracing its emergence in specific religious localities which ranged from Anglican vestry, to mission hall platform, to domestic drawing room. Its chief purpose is to examine the origins and emergence of a distinctively English version of the Pentecostal phenomenon.
This book not only articulates a tradition-specific Pentecostal rationality of Biblical Pragmatism, but also provides the first intellectual history of a major British classical Pentecostal denomination: the Elim Pentecostal Church. Pentecostal theologians increasingly acknowledge that their theological methodology should be informed by a Pentecostal rationality, epistemology and theological hermeneutics. Simo Frestadius offers such a Pentecostal rationality from a Foursquare perspective. Frestadius first analyses and evaluates some of the main contemporary Pentecostal rationalities and epistemologies to date, with a particular emphasis on the works of Amos Yong and James K.A. Smith and L. William Oliverio Jr., before proposing that Alasdair MacIntyre's tradition-focused and historically-minded narrative approach is conducive in providing a more tradition-constituted Pentecostal rationality. Utilising the methodological insights of MacIntyre, the book then provides a philosophically informed historical narrative of a major British Pentecostal tradition, namely, the Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance, by exploring its underlying context and roots as a classical Pentecostal movement, its emergence as a religious tradition, and its two major 'epistemological crises'. Based on this historical narration and analysis, it is argued that Elim's tacit Pentecostal rationality is best defined as Pentecostal Biblical Pragmatism in a Foursquare Gospel framework. This form of rationality is then developed vis-à-vis Elim's Pentecostal concept of truth, biblical hermeneutics, and pragmatic epistemic justification in dialogue with William P. Alston. In doing the above, the book not only articulates a tradition-specific Pentecostal rationality of Biblical Pragmatism but also provides the first intellectual history of a major British classical Pentecostal denomination.

Soul hungers are real and normal. Unfortunately, these universal human longings can drive us to dangerous places, risky behaviors, and enslaving addictions. Much of the drama and discontent that plagues the lives of modern women can be traced directly to a hungry soul. Women often try to satisfy their cravings by shopping, overeating, seeking the attention of men, or having children. What they really hunger for, though, is deep and lasting spiritual fulfillment. In Satisfied...at Last!, author Kay Harms shows women who are tired of looking for soul satisfaction in all the wrong places how to find truth, guidance, and fulfillment by interacting with the Word of God intimately and daily. But, for even the most devout Christians, the Bible can be mystifying. How can an invisible, spirit-God satisfy the deepest cravings of the soul, when He cant be seen, heard, or touched? Through thirty truthful, transparent lessons, Satisfied...at Last! guides the reader through a study of the Scriptures specially designed to address the soul hungers of women. Why settle for unfulfilling junk food when the Word of God can introduce you to the richly satisfying Bread of Life?

This expanded edition of the original best-seller includes a daily devotional for personal reflection and a study guide. A God chaser is a person whose passion for God’s presence presses him to chase the impossible in hopes that the uncatchable might catch him. A child chases a loving parent until, suddenly, the strong arms of the father enfold the chaser. The pursuer becomes the captive; the pursued the captor. Paul put it this way: I chase after that I may catch that which has apprehended me (Phil. 3:12). The passionate paths of God chasers can be traced across the pages history from Moses the stutterer, David the singer, and Paul the itinerant preacher, to contemporaries like A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, and countless others who share one common bond: an insatiable hunger to know their Lord.
It may be difficult to accept, but many Christians today have been robbed of their ability to connect with God and one another. John Lee Yates offers a measure of encouragement to Christians seeking to develop a closer relationship with God in this commentary on living a godly life. It starts with refusing to live in a perpetual state of weakness and blaming your problems on others. Drawing on the Bible for inspiration, this book will help you: Repent in order to find favor with the Lord. Use prayer as a weapon to achieve goals. Understand how Satan seeks to divide and conquer the people of God. Win disciples to succeed in spiritual warfare. In terms of earthly wisdom, it seems crazy to pursue an invisible God in the face of vehement opposition from society, culture, and an enemy who is trying to destroy us, but is it? Discover what Jesus demands from you and help your brothers and sisters in Christ wage battle against the enemy with the guidance in The Protocol of Spiritual Warfare.
God has two purposes for you: To believe in Jesus and then to become like Jesus. This book focuses on the latter. Though we cannot attain such perfection, John said that followers of Jesus “should live their lives as Jesus did” (1 John 2:6 NLT). The process of becoming like Jesus is the work of the Holy Spirit, but the Spirit does not transform us without our cooperation. The premise of this book is that we enable the Spirit to make us like Jesus by cultivating seven habits. The seven habits are derived from Luke’s description of the first church in Acts 2:42-47. Luke was an honest historian who frankly recorded the sins and strife of the early church, yet this passage is thoroughly positive. In it, he mentions seven habits practiced by that ideal church. This book describes those habits, including practical suggestions for how to develop each. This book is titled 7 Habits for a Rich and Satisfying Life because our heavenly Father loves us and wants what’s best for us. We will find fulfillment in life as we fulfill his good design for us. Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10 ESV), or as it says in the New Living Translation, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
