"Shadow of the Almighty" is the bestselling account of the martyrdom of Jim Elliot and four other missionaries at the hands of the Huaorani Indians in Ecuador.

It is very important for believers to know that living victoriously on a daily basis is our inheritance because the Scripture says in all these things, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:38). It is one thing to confess that you are more than a conqueror; it's another thing to walk in the light of it to make life more fulfilling for you. Living a triumphant life points believers to focus on the various requirements that are necessary to be victorious in every aspect of their lives. For ministers who desire to demonstrate the power of God and to have a successful ministry, the book elaborates on the necessity of knowing who the Holy Spirit is and His work in the life of every believer. John said we have an unction, and the anointing abides in you (1 John 2:20, 27). He was the one that anointed Jesus and the apostles to perform great signs and wonders. As the greater one abiding in us, knowing and depending on Him will make life exciting. Speaking of the Holy Spirit, the book went in-depth on how the Holy Spirit manifests his gifts in the life of every believer to show forth the mightiness of God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus and over all the power of darkness. To live a triumphant life demands that you know how to enforce the victory of Christ over the devil in your daily life. Reading this book will give you an understanding of how to exercise your authority over Satan in the name of Jesus and to give up fear, which has torment, for faith, which is also a necessity to be triumphant. It also deals with angels who are our messengers sent forth to do something for us when we tell them to. You will never benefit from what you don't know, but when you know, it will become a blessing to you.

"This scientific-historical biography explores the influences that shaped the spirituality of Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur. J. (Hans) Kommers investigates the historical background of Amy's childhood in Millisle and Belfast and provides new and more scholarly information than existing biographies. He researched a variety of Keswick-related literature in order to provide a fuller picture of Amy's connection with the Keswick Convention and their teaching. The descriptions of the life of the millworkers in Belfast, the happenings on the worldwide stage and Victorian missionary work and methods round out the picture to give the reader a greater understanding of Amy Carmichael. These new facts are most enlightening." --Dr Jackuelin Woolcock MB BChir MRCP (Lond), Director Dohnavur Fellowship Corporation, Shoreham by Sea, UK, and Doctor in Dohnavur India 1969-1987 "Triumphant Love: The Contextual, Creative and Strategic Missionary Work of Amy Beatrice Carmichael in South India provides the msot extensive biography thus far of Amy Carmichael (1867-1951), a major figure on the missionary landscape of the late 19th and the first half of the 20th century. She is seen by some as the Protestant mother Teresa (both women worked in India and devoted all of their time and energy to the poor). The book is very well researched. The author states that the purpose of the extensive research he undertook 'was to get a closer and clearer picture of Amy Carmichael as the founder off the Dohnavur Fellowship.' Also, he wanted 'to give a balanced account of her dealings with people and especially her life with God.' He does this. It provides the most comprehensive picture of this remarkable woman. It is the definitive source of reference. J. (Hans) Kommers's view of the life of Amy Carmichael is that of a fellow evangelical. He explains that not only Amy, but many missionaries of her time were inspired by the ideal that all people should have the opportunity to hear of Christ's salvation. According to him, her inspirational work is still relevant today." --Prof. Dr Gijsbert van den Brink, URC Professor for Theology and Science, Faculty of Theology, Free University Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Oftimes when people are approached and questioned concerning their lukewarm condition dealing with their relationship toward God and asked if they don’t realize they should not grow cold and indifferent, immediately one of these many excuses begin to be given: Oh, but preacher, if you only knew this or you only knew that, you just don’t realize what I have been through! You just don’t’ realize what so-and-so said about me (or did to me)! I have searched the Bible and nowhere can I find one chapter or verse where justification can be given for any such statement, attitude or excuse. Such answers may well be our excuse, however, there is nothing in the word of God whereby you can base or substantiate such an excuse upon.
