Tired of the same old vampire story? In the Human-Undead War world, toss out your crosses, holy water, and fire. Don’t bother bolting your door, or lining entrances to your home with garlic or salt—vampires don’t need an invitation, and none of that will deter them. They don’t sparkle. They don’t sleep in coffins. And they are no longer in hiding.

In 2041, vampires are discovered and humanity is thrust into a blood-soaked battle for supremacy. Seven years pass and the Human-Undead War rages on. Brian Koltz, the lead scientist and negotiator for the Undead Relations Committee, believes he holds the solution to peaceful coexistence: the platelet mushroom, an accidental creation that produces human blood.

Few voices in history have been used by God to stir a nation to revival like Jonathan Edwards. He was one of the most powerfully anointed preachers in that unstoppable wave of repentance and return to righteousness known as the First Great Awakening. He started, as many others to follow, in a small rural church, and through the fiery and unforgettable Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (which is in this volume), his ministry sparked and the world was never the same.

Not only does this powerful little piece of writing contain within its pages the timely exhortation to Christians to pray at just such a time as this for our Lord's kingdom to come (as relevant today as it was in 1747), but we're also given a good dose of eschatology and a taste of history to boot--almost forgotten knowledge, if you will. A refreshing, eye-opening, inspirational piece of work. (FYI: "extraordinary prayer" can be defined as "prayer with special purpose," and a "concert of prayer" is an agreement of two or more in a prayer plan.) - Summary by Debra Bridgford

In the 18th century, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) emerged as a pivotal figure in American religious life, serving as both a pastor and scholar in Massachusetts. Often regarded as the last of the great Puritans and a key architect of modern evangelicalism, he played a significant role during The Great Awakening in 1732—a profound religious revival that swept through his church and many others in the region. This movement ignited intense emotional responses, termed affections, manifesting as joyous outbursts and heartfelt weeping, which unsettled more conservative believers. In response, ...

An inspirational and truly dedicated servant of the lord, David Brainerd endured hardship after hardship while maintaining a singularly devoted heart and mind for God. Not only did his faith remain true and steadfast, but his determination to bring God’s light to others provided an even greater element of encouragement even to the pastors and missionaries working alongside him. Traveling thousands of miles and struggling with illness and physical hardships, Brainerd brought the word of God to remote Native Americans despite the many limitations of his day and of his own health and wellbeing.

This collection of sermons by Jonathan Edwards includes his most important and impactful words on the nature, origin, and positive yields of charity. Included in this set are five sermons.

Jonathan Edwards lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. He is often referred to as America’s greatest theologian. This sermon was preached to encourage every person to make every effort to get into the kingdom of God—that none should be left out. Edwards opened the sermon by defining “pressing into” the kingdom, explaining why every one should earnestly seek it. He reminded the hearers that, by nature, all are in a perishing necessity of salvation, utterly lost when outside the kingdom.

Jonathan Edwards, often referred to as America’s greatest theologian, lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. This sermon warmly encourages every person to make the same kind of effort that Ruth made in leaving her people and country to join herself to God and his people in Israel. Edwards used a variety of things to stimulate the unbeliever toward faith and repentance, such as: the goodness of God, the happiness of his people, the misery of turning back as Orpah did, and the earnest desire of God’s people for every hearer to be saved.

Jonathan Edwards, often referred to as America’s greatest theologian, lived from 1703-1758, and was used by God in the American Great Awakening. This sermon is taken from Romans 3:19, “That every mouth may be stopped.” Edwards carefully and methodically showed that God is perfectly just to punish sinners. He began with God’s infinite majesty, then showed man’s infinite guilt, made many applications, answered objections, and ended with words of encouragement to both the guilty sinner and the forgiven saint.

While the idea that God created the world for His glory may seem obvious to some and perhaps confusing to others, Jonathan Edwards describes this beautiful premise with Scriptural evidence and in a completely revelatory way. In detailing not only the nature of God, but also of creation, humans, and individual will, Edwards shows that God’s purpose of bringing Himself glory works also, ultimately, for the fulfillment of all creation’s joy.

Jonathan Edwards uses his vast knowledge of theology, along with the direct words of Scripture, to paint a real picture of Heaven. A Biblically sound understanding not of what Heaven may look like but simply of what it is. A place that is home to a perfect God, a God that is love. The home of everlasting, sacrificial, all-consuming, unchanging, unconditional love. Edwards expounds on how the hypostatic union, the church here on Earth, the love of God, and other natures of the Trinity affect and establish the nature of Heaven, the eternal home of rest and joy for all believers.

Here Jonathan Edwards discusses the nature and strength of charity and its resilience to all adversities. While there are a great many things that may attempt to challenge, overwhelm, destroy, and confuse grace and love, it is impossible to entirely snuff out that great gift from God. Not only will charity live on, it will prove again and again to be victorious over evil.

Jonathan Edwards intelligently and thoroughly explains the process through which salvation becomes a life transforming event. It is a constant and evident miracle to experience saving grace. Faith in God and acceptance of His will changes every detail of life, from conviction and temptation to spiritual knowledge and a life of obvious Godliness. Grace becomes a fruit of the everyday. Edwards breaks down this process and the changes one can expect and enjoy while living in true grace.

Walking the road of the straight and narrow is known for both blessings and miracles as well as hardships and sacrifices. Jonathan Edwards lovingly expresses the ways in which God’s children must put aside selfish desires and reactions when injured or experiencing hardships in life. To humbly and maturely respond to the difficulties in life is a fruit of the Spirit and a light to unbelievers. Edwards explains in great detail how and why Christians must respond in such a way to injury and mistreatment.

In this important work by Jonathan Edwards, the truth and importance of love is laid out plainly for the Christian to understand. While there are many ways of seeing God’s influence in the lives of His children, charity is the most consistent and most crucial. Love, or charity, is not only the greatest commandment and most important virtue but it is also the foundation of all other virtues and ways of Christian living. Edwards details how real love is from the Spirit and is evident in all true believers and influences every aspect of life.
