This book shows King James VI and I, king of Scotland and England, in an unaccustomed light. Long regarded as inept, pedantic, and whimsical, James is shown here as an astute and far-sighted statesman whose reign was focused on achieving a permanent union between his two kingdoms and a peaceful and stable community of nations throughout Europe.
The seven seals of the Book of Revelation offer a warning to spiritual seekers of the many spectacular events that are coming upon the world in the future. From the first seal that cautions religious deception and persecution to the next six seals that warn of war, famine, pestilence, tribulation and martyrdom, signs in the heavens, and a devastating earthquake, the seven seals have always held mystery. Warnette Patterson has been the pastor of a small North Carolina congregation for the past twelve years and has answered her calling by Jesus to write and educate others so they may know Jesus in His compassion and suffering for us. As she shares the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ coupled with many scriptural references, she delves into the meaning of the seven seals and details the ways Jesus wants us to apply the significance of the seals to our daily lives. The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. The Book with the Seven Seals both reinforces and explains the conditions that must first occur before God brings His final judgment upon the world.

Long considered a highly distinctive English writer, Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) has not been treated as the significant historian he was. Fuller's The Church-History of Britain (1655) was the first comprehensive history of Christianity from antiquity to the upheavals of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations and the tumultuous events of the English civil wars. His numerous publications outside the genre of history--sermons, meditations, pamphlets on current thought and events--reflected and helped to shape public opinion during the revolutionary era in which he lived. Thomas Fuller: Discovering England's Religious Past highlights the fact that Fuller was a major contributor to the flowering...
