Let God Arise draws upon an extensive array of archival sources to present the first modern account in English entirely devoted to the rebellion and war of the Camisards. Combining traditional narrative with analysis, W. Gregory Monahan examines the issues that led to that rebellion, beginning with the conversion of the artisans and peasants of the remote mountain region of the Cévennes to Protestantism in the sixteenth century, its persistence in that confession in the seventeenth, and the shattering impact of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which deprived Protestants first of their pastors, and then of the itinerant preachers who attempted to take their place. Beginning in 1701, prophetism swept the region, and the prophets, who believed they heard and followed the word of the Holy Spirit, soon led their followers into violent attacks on the Catholic Church and rebellion against the crown. A persistent and occasionally successful guerrilla war raged for over two years. Monahan argues that the resulting war involved a host of often conflicting world views, or discourses, in which the various parties to the conflict, whether the king and his ministers at Versailles, the provincial intendant Basville and local officials, the foreign powers, the Church, the generals, or the Camisard rebels themselves, often misunderstood or failed to communicate with each other, resulting too often in terrible violence and bloodshed. Let God Arise tells us much about the nature of the reign of Louis XIV and the popular religion of the time in exploring the last great rebellion in France before the Revolution of 1789.

The chapters of this book evolved over a period of time as I was listening to young Christians talking about different subjects and realizing the lack of understanding and Bible knowledge they were getting from different sources. Seeing most young Christians don't have any real access to Bible school training and receive a lot of their information from friends, family, and various sources I became burdened to teach them in depth about the subjects they would talk about. I began to write these things down that enabled me to give them something to read over and refer to when they needed to refresh their memory. These different subjects are basic information that I believe all Christians should understand to help them stay on the path God intended and not be drawn into doctrine misunderstandings. Having been to Kenya, Africa, on a mission trip where I had the ability to teach some of the things in this book I was asked if I could give them all of these teachings in a book as they are hungry for the teachings of the Word of God. That prompted me to publish these sixteen Bible lessons for the benefit of those pastors in Africa and anywhere else that people are hungry for the understanding of the Word of God. I hope the reader finds these chapters both inspiring and encouraging in their search for knowledge and understanding in their walk with the Lord.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about what Jesus can do for your life. It is not even the answer to the question, "How can I be saved?" It is the declaration of a victory. In His coming to earth, His suffering, and His Resurrection, Christ conquered demons, sin, and death. In Arise, O God, author and podcaster Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick introduces us to the spiritual war that Christ won by His victory, how we are caught in that war's cosmic crossfire, what the true content of the gospel is-and how we are to respond.
