Reseña del libro "They Knew Their God Volume 6 (en Inglés)"
It is not uncommon, nowadays, to hear the lament, "These are terrible days in which we are living." Maybe you share this sentiment, or at least, share a desire to see Christians meet the challenge of our times through the power of the Holy Spirit. If so, then you have doubtless asked yourself, "What is the answer to the spiritual lethargy and decline that we so bemoan? From Biblical times up to the present, men and women have asked these questions and forged out answers that enabled them to become what we now describe as "the saints of the Church." The faith journeys of some of these saints are recorded in They Knew Their God Volume Six by Lillian Harvey who was inspired by the passage in Psalms 48: 12-13: "Walk about Zion, go all around it, count its towers, consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels, that you may tell the next generation."In this volume, the author introduces us to men and women who longed to see their world reformed and redeemed. We read, to mention but a few, of John Chrysostom, the exiled bishop; of William Wilberforce, both prophet and reformer, and of Johann Christoph Blumhardt, the pastor who challenged the spirits of evil which surrounded him. We also read of less dramatic saints who, nonetheless, through their prayers and example, made a difference to the world in which they lived.If, then, you too are dissatisfied with the status quo and reach out to God for an answer, this book is definitely for you. The saints you will read about in this volume are not to be copied. We live in a different time and place. But their fearless obedience, coupled with a rare humility and childlike spirit, will inspire you to cease bemoaning the times and seek to change them instead.
