The Reformation was the seismic event in European history over the past 1000 years, and one which tore the medieval world apart. Not just European religion, but thought, culture, society, state systems, personal relations - everything - was turned upside down. Just about everything which followed in European history can be traced back in some way to the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation which it provoked. The Reformation is where the modern world painfully and dramatically began, and MacCulloch's great history of it is recognised as the best modern account.

Why does the blessing of God rest on certain ministries and NOT on others? And why do some church leaders seem to experience more favour than others? The answer, according to Bishop Tudor Bismark is simple, yet profound: God's hand of blessing and favour rests on those houses that have been reformed into an "apostolic, New Testament" model of ministry! With heartfelt concern and inspiring insight, Bishop Bismark unfolds biblical truths that will help lead us to this place of blessing and favour in ministry. As you read these pages, you'll explore such themes as . . . * Recognizing the characteristics of a genuine apostle * Forming and maintaining the elements found in an apostolic house * Understanding the principle of 'Government Rule' * The importance and necessity of deliverance and other power ministries * Becoming a house of prayer and learning to open the heavens * Understanding and walking in your measure of rule. Bishop Bismark has also provided a fully outlined Appendix of Apostolic Models, giving us specific, practical examples of genuine apostolic qualities and ministries that you can implement and follow. "We are, in fact, saved by grace, but if we desire the Kingdom to come in our homes, our cities, and our nations, we must "pray" and "work"" says Bismark. "Therefore, each one of us must ask ourselves daily: "What part do I play?"" If that is your prayer, then you will discover valuable wisdom, encouragement, and direction in "Reformation In The House." NOW WITH WORKBOOK!
