Brother Bakht Singh Chabra, a Sikh convert, was one of the foremost evangelists and Bible teachers in India. Bakht Singh was well known as a pioneer in gospel contextualization and a proponent of indigenous Indian churches. The movement and assemblies he established were often viewed as splinter groups from mainstream churches and many considered his teachings and theology as negatively syncretic. In this publication, Dr Bharathi Nuthalapati establishes that Bakht Singh’s theology was rooted in the Indian spirituality of experience through personal relationship and devotion to God or Bhakti. Brother Singh Christianized Bhakti and in his hands Bhakti became a Christian idiom. The author also analyzes how pre-Christian, Sikh elements persisted in Bakht Singh’s movement while remaining theologically orthodox, as well as how various aspects of Indian religiosity and biblical and western Christianity were adopted, rejected, reinterpreted, or revolutionized in his movement.

"God has a wonderful plan by which you can have a world influence through your prayer," writes Dr. Wesley Duewel. "God has planned that ordinary Christians like you and me can become mighty in prayer for the reaping of Christ's harvest among the nations today." Touch the World through Prayer explains how every Christian can pray for the missionaries, church leaders, and political leaders in countries around the globe where the gospel is being preached today. Dr. Duewel gives specific Bible promises that we can claim in these intercessory prayers. He describes how to pray in the power of Jesus' name, how to counteract the influence of Satan, how to recognize the work of angels in answer to prayer, and much more. Touch the World through Prayer provides step-by-step plans for making a prayer list, organizing a prayer circle, and holding a prayer retreat for your Christian friends who have a burden for missions.

Within this volume are eight of Sparks' books, all on the subject of Ministry. T. Austin Sparks said of one of these books, The School of Christ, that "it had been wrought on the anvil of deep and drastic dealings of God with the vessel," and that of all the books that issued from his ministry, The School of Christ went most deeply to the roots and foundations of our life in Christ with God. All of these books will move you by their liberating, refreshing message. That the Lord might recover a people set free from all ecclesiastical, religious, traditional limits and bounds -- a people in the Spirit! May these books cause you to examine modern Christianity and your own position to see if it is a set system, a tradition, an inheritance; or whether it is really, now, bringing to the Land and the goal, the fullness of Christ. Read this man. His words are unlike any others. There is depth and there are glimpses of the unseen realm such as are found in the writings of few other authors. Book jacket.
