I believe we have followed the wrong gods home. The rape of the Earths elements. The razing of the fi elds and forests. The slaughter of the animals. The pollution of the air and water. The abuse of fi re and electricity. Etc. It is not enough to change our behavior. We have to develop the consciousness of our race. That is what I attempt to do in this book. We have to be ready, willing and able to walk away from the superstitious masquerade. I sign up for challenges, struggles, fear and e...

I could have written stories, fables, anecdotes, etc., like so many authors have. But when I am reading fiction, I often wish I knew what the author was really trying to say.

These forthright questions—and scores more—are clearly and concisely answered in How We Got Our Bible.W. Graham Scroggie has said that "the reading of Dr. Thomas' books creates in one a deeper love of and desir...

Carl and Ewald broke into a mobile home. Trapped they hid in a closet when the owners returned. A short ride began adventures they could not have imagined--in space!

This volume is intended to help those who are called upon to preach and teach, and on this account the material is set out largely in outline form. It is a great satisfaction to know that a former book, “The Apostle Peter,” covering his life and writings, has been found of service to fellow-workers. I hope the present work will be similarly useful, and will also provide an introduction to the larger books included in the Bibliography, all of which, though often varying greatly in their att...

This book contains the amplification of Lectures and Bible Readings which I have had the privilege of giving, first at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, 1905–10, then at the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, 1911, and subsequently at other Bible Institutes and at several Bible Conferences in America.I have no intention or desire to add to the many valuable commentaries available on this Epistle, but I have thought it might be profitable to concentrate on one of the main themes (if not the main t...

During my five years at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, it fell to my lot to deal with the various aspects of ministerial life and service which are usually included in the term Pastoralia. This involved weekly addresses in Chapel on Saturday evenings, weekly lectures on Pastoral work, addresses at the openings of Terms, and occasional informal ‘Conferences’ on some of the more outstanding ministerial and pastoral problems.This book embodies the substance of what was then given, and it is re...
