Grounded in Grace
On 9 January 2013 Dr. Ian M. Randall celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday. For this occasion, some friends and colleagues presented him with a Festschrift which reflects his achievements as a church historian with a particular interest in the Evangelical movement and spirituality. It also mirrors his involvement with theological training in central and eastern Europe. Over the last twenty years Dr. Randall has also established himself as a leading historian of the Baptist churches in Europe. The contributions to Grounded in Grace interact with his areas of interest: Baptists, the Anabaptist movement, Evangelicalism and spirituality. This book makes a valuable contribution to thinking in all these areas. Scholars, pastors, other church leaders and students will profit hugely from it. It contains a short biography and a bibliography of Ian’s publications.

Transforming Keswick
Commissioned to mark our 125th anniversary, Transforming Keswick is a thorough, readable and detailed history of the Convention. It will be of interest to those who know and love Keswick, those who are only just discovering it, and serious scholars eager to learn more about the history of Gods dealings with His people. It was in June 1875 that the vicar of St Johns Church, Keswick, Canon T D Harford-Battersby planned three days of Union Meetings for the Promotion of Practical Holiness to be held in a tent on the vicarage lawn. These first inauspicious meetings had remarkable consequences, and the annual Convention that grew out of them did more to shape evangelical Christianity in the twentieth century than any other movement. Ian Randall and Charles Price have written the story of Keswick from its inception to the present time. Ian, who teaches at Spurgeons College tells the story, and Charles, former Principal of Capernwray Bible School, deals with some of the controversies and issues that have arisen over the years.
Knowing God Better
The Keswick movement has revolutionized hundreds of thousands of lives and has had a radical impact on churches and communities. In Knowing God Better, Jonathan Lamb introduces the big priorities that shape the movement, priorities that are essential for the well-being of Christians and local churches around the world today.
A Christian Peace Experiment
This book examines part of the development of the Bruderhof community, which emerged in Germany in 1920. Community members sought to model their life on the New Testament. This included sharing goods. The community became part of the Hutterite movement, with its origins in sixteenth-century Anabaptism. After the rise to power of the Nazi regime, the Bruderhof became a target and the community was forcibly dissolved. Members who escaped from Germany and travelled to England were welcomed as refugees from persecution and a community was established in the Cotswolds. In the period 1933 to 1942, when the Bruderhof’s witness was advancing in Britain, its members were in touch with many individu...
A History of Global Health
A sweeping history explores why people living in resource-poor areas lack access to basic health care after billions of dollars have been invested in international-health assistance. Over the past century, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in programs aimed at improving health on a global scale. Given the enormous scale and complexity of these lifesaving operations, why do millions of people in low-income countries continue to live without access to basic health services, sanitation, or clean water? And why are deadly diseases like Ebola able to spread so quickly among populations? In A History of Global Health, Randall M. Packard argues that global-health initiatives have s...
Spiritual Revolution
'Spiritual Revolution' tells the story of 50 years of Operation Mobilization (OM). Beginning with an account of George Verwer's conversion and OM's early outreach in Mexico, God's faithfulness is seen as OM has grown to include today more than 4,000 workers serving in over 100 countries.

Great Things Are Coming
First published in The Gettysburg Review, Wilson's novella takes us into an odd office world of the temporary employee where the work makes no sense, where catching up can bring about the end of an assignment but unemployment can come anyway in an instant with a wrong word or gesture, where tomorrow is never the same.
