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!

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.

Inside the Reformation is a visual journey through the Reformation with concise text and richly designed pages. While not laid out as a traditional history book, it communicates the same information through pictures, illustrations, and short articles in a fun way. This book makes a great addition to school libraries, classrooms, and personal collections.

“No revolution however drastic has ever involved a total repudiation of what came before it.” The religious reformations of the sixteenth century were the crucible of modern Western civilization, profoundly reshaping the identity of Europe’s emerging nation-states. In The Reformation, one of the preeminent historians of the period, Patrick Collinson, offers a concise yet thorough overview of the drastic ecumenical revolution of the late medieval and Renaissance eras. In looking at the sum effect of such disparate elements as the humanist philosophy of Desiderius Erasmus and the impact on civilization of movable-type printing and “vulgate” scriptures, or in defining the differences between the evangelical (Lutheran) and reformed (Calvinist) churches, Collinson makes clear how the battles for mens’ lives were often hatched in the battles for mens’ souls. Collinson also examines the interplay of spiritual and temporal matters in the spread of religious reform to all corners of Europe, and at how the Catholic Counter-Reformation used both coercion and institutional reform to retain its ecclesiastical control of Christendom. Powerful and remarkably well written, The Reformation is possibly the finest available introduction to this hugely important chapter in religious and political history.
