It is at once the focus of creation, a metaphor for salvation, a moral imperative and the goal of human restoration. For those whom the Father adopts into his household, the family bonds that begin in this life will last for all eternity.

The "spirit of sonship" is an apostolic grace which brings about the spiritual maturity of the believer, the revival of apostolic Christianity, and ultimately, the maturity of the church in preparation for the coming of Christ. This important book reveals that the values and heart attitudes of what we may call the spirit of sonship is the very nature and essence of authentic apostolic New Testament Christianity. You will discover a fresh approach to understanding and walking in grace, through relationships. The subject is huge, and wonderful; the whole of the Scriptures and all of salvation history must now be seen in the light of sonship and its implications.
In this visionary and ground-breaking book, Bill Britton describes the "unfolding revelation of Jesus Christ in His Sons," the corporate Body of Christ on earth, and provides a tantalizing glimpse of a new dimension of ministry not yet fully manifested where the Sons of God will break through "the veil" of the Holy of Holies into the full experience of Sonship. We know this is true because Jesus, the Pattern Son, has already entered into this realm as our Forerunner, and where Jesus goes, His Sons will follow. In six concise and compelling chapters, the author presents a stunning picture of a "ministry without limitation" that will be entered into by fully mature Sons of God. This soon-to-be-revealed ministry will operate in a new dimension beyond justification and Holy Spirit baptism, the first two crucial steps; a realm of life and restoration, for which all creation yearns. Jesus Himself, in His deity and humanity, brought a taste of heaven to earth and revealed His plan to share His glory with "a Company of Sons conformed to His image." Jesus is the 41st generation from King David in Matthew chapter one. This Company of Sons is the 42nd generation, with whom and through whom He will rule over all things.
The Slave Bible was published in 1807. It was commissioned on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves in England. The Bible was to be used by missionaries and slave owners to teach slaves about the Christian faith and to evangelize slaves. The Bible was used to teach some slaves to read, but the goal first and foremost was to tend to the spiritual needs of the slaves in the way the missionaries and slave owners saw fit.
What would life be like with no fear? If you could feel completely at home and at rest in the intimate love of God? We all face two choices in life: to live life as if we have a home or to live life as if we do not have a home.

Come in from the storm and find rest! Discover your true identity-and your true home-as a beloved son/daughter of the Father.
In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Trevor Burke argues that the scripture phrase "adopted as sons," while a key theological metaphor, has been misunderstood, misrepresented or neglected. He redresses the balance in this comprehensive study of the phrase. "This volume not only probes a neglected theme; it also edifies," says D. A. Carson.
