DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne evening in 1588, just weeks after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, two young men landed in secret on a beach in Norfolk, England. They were Jesuit priests, Englishmen, and their aim was to achieve by force of argument what the Armada had failed to do by force of arms: return England to the Catholic Church. Eighteen years later their mission had been shattered by the actions of the Gunpowder Plotters -- a small group of terrorists who famously tried to destroy the Houses of Parliament -- for the Jesuits were accused of having designed "that most horrid and hellish conspiracy." In an unusual turn of events, the future of every Catholic they had hoped to save would soon come to depend on the silence of one Oxford carpenter, a man being tortured in the Tower of London for building priest holes, those bunkers in which the Catholic clergy hid from English authorities. Using contemporary documents, Alice Hogge's brilliant new book pieces together a deadly game of cat-and-mouse between priests and government spies, as Queen Elizabeth and her ministers fought to defend the state, and English Catholics fought to defend their souls. It follows the priests -- God's Secret Agents -- from their schooling on the Continent, through their perilous return journeys and their lonely lives in hiding, to the scaffold, where a gruesome death awaited them. To their government they were traitors; to their fellow Catholics they were glorious martyrs. It was a distinction that the Gunpowder Plot would put to the test. Ultimately God's Secret Agents is the story of men who would die for their cause undone by men who would kill for it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSecrecy and the Gods is a comparative mythological study of the human reception and treatment of divine secret knowledge in ancient Mesopotamia and biblical Israel. The human royal council was the social model for ancient ideas about divine knowledge being secret - just as human kings had secrets so too did the gods. Diviners who received this knowledge from the gods in an on-going, ad hoc manner were an essential link between the divine assembly and the human royal council for whom such knowledge was intended. Scribes eventually adapted the ad hoc divinatory means of receiving divine communications to their culturally significant texts. By discursively asserting a historical connection between themselves and unique mediators with a close divine affiliation (the apkallus and Moses), the scribes constructed myths that legitimated their texts as divine revelation and claimed these were received in history through normal scribal channels. In this manner, scribes fixed the secret of the gods permanently among humans in textualized form that valorized their own position within society. Although the origin of divine secret knowledge was rooted in a common mythological idea of the divine assembly, its treatment was quite distinct. The Mesopotamians guarded divine secret knowledge through various scribal means, including the attachment of a Geheimwissen colophon to certain tablets (treated exhaustively), whereas biblical Israel published it openly. The contrast in treatment of divine secret knowledge was directly related to different mytho-political self-understandings: Mesopotamia's imperial aspirations versus biblical Israel's vassaldom. As vassals to Yahweh, the divine imperial king, the kings of Judah and Israel as presented in the biblical material were not to formulate secret orders; they were only to obey them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDo you struggle with intimacy with God? How do we get to know God? Once we get to know Him personally, how do we develop a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? The struggle of finding and enjoying increasing intimacy with God is real. From birth, each person inherits a God-shaped vacuum only He can fill. Once a personal relationship with Him is established, every child of God faces two deep desires: a longing for deeper intimacy with Him or the desire for freedom from whatever prevents it. But no one is immune from the struggle of finding and maintaining intimacy with God. Does God truly want intimacy with me or does He only get close to certain people? As the Almighty, Sovereign God, why would He want to have anything to do with insignificant me? Is intimacy with God even attainable? I've tried several times, yet nothing seems to work-nothing changes. How can we resist God's compelling love and desire for intimacy with us? What else are we waiting for before yielding and running into His embrace? What prevents us from starting and nurturing intimate time in His presence? God's Secret Place answers such questions with insights from Scripture and through dissecting human relationships. It also inspires the pursuit of nearness with God, identifies four levels of closeness with Him, and reveals the characteristics of those who find and cherish such intimacy. Stevens encourages readers to run to God's secret place-to commit themselves to the pursuit of intimacy with Him. Then, to remain there. We find rest in His presence by presenting ourselves before Him, quieting ourselves from distractions, hearing His whisper, and sensing His heart. He awaits us there.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor many of us, the attempt to live for God can leave us feeling burdened rather than free. Yet that's not the kind of life God intends for us to experience. What if he never meant for us to try so hard? What if overcoming sin doesn't rely on our own self-control? What if loving others isn't about saying and doing all the right things? What if suffering isn't designed to teach us lessons? What if we could feel closer to God without doing anything? In God's Best-Kept Secret, the founder of Grace Life International explodes our preconceived notions of living the Christian life, freeing us to stop just going through the motions and to experience true fulfillment. Illuminating commonly misunderstood Bible verses, Mark Maulding shows us that following God is not as complicated as we often make it out to be. And, in fact, the answer to our struggles has been hiding in plain sight all along.
