Fighting For Christendom

This insightful portrait of the Crusades illuminates both the rosy myths and the harsh realities of these epic adventures.

"Many Christians are content to attend chruch and live happy lives, but there is no fight in their Christianity. True Christianity, explained by the author, is a fight--against the flesh, the world, and the devil, which aim to detract us from holiness. Every Christian is called to holiness, but there can be no holiness without a fight"--

John Stott presents twelve studies on the books of 1 Timothy and Titus..

Using the weapons of the Church to fight off evil and temptation

Based on 1 Timothy 6:12: “Fight the good fight of faith,” this was C H Spurgeon’s final address to the students at the Pastors’ College in 1891. Identifying the great foes to be false doctrine, worldliness, and sin, he focuses on the Bible as our armoury, the sole authority for believers in all things, the Church as all being involved in the battle, and the Holy Spirit, upon whom we depend entirely for success in the warfare. The preaching ministry of C H Spurgeon saw thousands converted and he also worked tirelessly to inspire preachers to be valiant for the truth through the Pastors’ College. He knew much of the warfare of which he spoke; personal health challenges and his costly stand against doctrinal decline and compromise gave him insights which he shares here. The clarion call to active service in The Greatest Fight in the World is as relevant today as when first delivered.

We Are at War: Book 3 The Battle between Christianity and Secularity Experience of the Nation of Odom takes up the warfront of Christianity and Secularity which is a major warfront in the world today. This war is the result of Satans use of its human agents of Atheists, Intellectuals and others in Secular Governance to create conflicts between Christian and Secular Authorities. Accordingly, the book views a Fictional example in the nation of Odom to show how the Christian and Secular Authorities can co-operate to fight Satan, their common enemy and establish the Good Pillars of Governance that Christ introduced to sustain Democratic systems Governance.

Put on the Armor of God in Your Daily Battle Against Sin "True Christianity is a fight," wrote J. C. Ryle in 1877. He argued that from the day of their conversion until the day they die, Christians are called to be soldiers for Christ in a war for their holiness. This inspiring call to action written more than 100 years ago continues to be a source of great encouragement and inspiration for believers today. In this addition to the Crossway Short Classics series, Ryle explains why the fight for holiness is one of absolute necessity for Christians. Identifying the three main enemies of every believer—the world, the flesh, and the devil—he emboldens them to "either fight or be lost" in their daily battle and offers biblical and historical examples of notable Christian "soldiers." Fighting for Holiness is a bold reminder for believers to daily put on the whole armor of God and train their eyes on Christ.

"At the dawn of the fifteenth century, Islam invaded Europe from the East and it seemed that Christendom itself was under threat. In an attempt to save Christian world the Emperor Sigismund called the many nations of Europe together for a conference at Constance, beside the Rhine. The Conference attracted the greatest minds in the western world, as well as innumerable princes, lawyers and prostitutes. And amid the confusion hoped to put Europe's house in order." "In The Battle for Christendom, brilliant historian Frank Welsh delves into this important moment in history and shows that it is in fact one of the most central moments in European history. Schism had ravaged the Catholic Church and three Popes claimed the seat of St Peters - which, in Holmesian fashion, Welsh cals a "Three-Pope Problem". There were also dangerous stirrings of reform. Over the next months, debate raged while Sigismund attempted to find a solution. The event would be one of the major turning points in European history - the last event of the medieval world, heralding the dawn of the renaissance and the rise of humanism. Yet it would also hold a darker truth and with the burning of the Czech divine, Jan Hus, saw first moments of the Reformation. The story rises to a conclusion on the battlements of Constantinople in 1453 where, despite all of Sigismund's attempts to repel the Ottomans, the East rose up once more." "The Council of Constance was a high point for the movement that promoted the authority of councils over the authority of the pope, and with good reason - it was a moment in which a group of well-meaning people reshaped the future of their continent. In Welsh's lively retelling, The Battle for Christendom is an exciting and readable story that holds lessons for our own times of international turmoil."--BOOK JACKET.
