Wheat That Springeth Green, J. F. Powers’s beautifully realized final work, is a comic foray into the commercialized wilderness of modern American life. Its hero, Joe Hackett, is a high school track star who sets out to be a saint. But seminary life and priestly apprenticeship soon damp his ardor, and by the time he has been given a parish of his own he has traded in his hair shirt for the consolations of baseball and beer. Meanwhile Joe’s higher-ups are pressing for an increase in profits from the collection plate, suburban Inglenook’s biggest business wants to launch its new line of missiles with a blessing, and not all that far away, in Vietnam, a war is going on. Joe wants to duck and cover, but in the end, almost in spite of himself, he is condemned to do something right. J. F. Powers was a virtuoso of the American language with a perfect ear for the telling clich? and an unfailing eye for the kitsch that clutters up our lives. This funny and very moving novel about the making and remaking of a priest is one of his finest achievements.

Many Christians with good reason wonder why "speaking a word in faith" or "praying in faith" or "praying in Jesus' name" doesn't always produce the hoped-for results. "I claim it in Jesus' name!" "Every promise in the Book is mine." There's a lot of confusing teaching about the subject of faith nowadays. How do we get it sorted out and arrive at the biblical basis of understanding this grand subject? And how do we walk before God in that divine faith (not human faith), which He assures us "is substance"?Author Percy Gutteridge introduces us to a fresh, insightful, out-of-the-mainstream way of looking at the larger picture of faith, what it is, and how it works. He covers a solid spectrum of faith-related themes - faith's Author and Finisher, its conditions, nature, practice and problems; its growth, certainties, perfecting, and what the triumph of faith looks like. The author also delves into how God prepares His men and women of faith. And he's honest enough to share not only his successes, but also his failures in learning to live the life of faith.When "Faith Is Substance" made its debut in 1975, its truths laid a solid foundation in many believers which has stood the test of time, and kept many Christians from the foolishness, fads, and fanaticism that are so often associated with the subject of "faith." With its solid, deep, uncompromising Bible teaching, full of Percy Gutteridge's down-to-earth, "Holy Ghost common sense," the book's message is needed more than ever today.

Jovinianus, about whom little more is known than what is to be found in Jerome's treatise, published a Latin treatise outlining several opinions: That a virgin is no better, as such, than a wife in the sight of God. Abstinence from food is no better than a thankful partaking of food. A person baptized with the Spirit as well as with water cannot sin. All sins are equal. There is but one grade of punishment and one of reward in the future state. In addition to this, he held the birth of Jesus Christ to have been by a "true parturition," and was thus refuting the orthodoxy of the time, according to which, the infant Jesus passed through the walls of the womb as his Resurrection body afterwards did, out of the tomb or through closed doors.

Why is it that the Pentecostal movement today lacks the power of its Azusa Street roots? What teaching served as the foundation of the 1906 Azusa Street Revival, and how is it that most Pentecostals repudiated that foundation less than six years after the revival began? In this all-too-true tale, you'll discover larger-than-life -- and flawed -- men of God, scandalous animosity among Christian brothers, and a contentious prayer challenge in what could be described as a game of spiritual "Russian roulette." The book relates the roles of William J. Seymour, Charles F. Parham, and William H. Durham in the seismic shift which occurred in early Pentecostalism. This groundbreaking look at the nexus of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements explains how one of God's special works of grace became "The Rejected Blessing."
