Renaissance & Reformation Times includes a preface; 20 chapters covering topics such as the Renaissance in Italy, Early Tudor England, The Age of Discovery, Reformers in Switzerland and France, and more; a conclusion; and a bibliography.
Our customers are familiar with the comprehensive and well-written historical texts of Dorothy Mills. Now Memoria Press is making available her excellent text on the Renaissance and Reformation. There are, of course, strong opinions about some aspects of this crucial period of modern history, but history itself is and should be an objective account of what happened, not an editorial on what happened, and Mills succeeds marvelously in giving readers a neutral ground on which to base their understanding of the history of this exciting time.

It is only a matter of time before declining churches will have closed their doors for good because no one sounded the alarm.’
Our culture is becoming increasingly hostile to Christianity, and despite church planting becoming more popular; our churches are dying more quickly than we can plant new ones. We are struggling to reach our communities for Jesus.
In this timely and much needed book, John James urges us to wake up to this crisis. John argues that if we are to build up existing church members and reach new ones for Jesus then we can’t simply pull the plug on dying churches in favour of planting new ones. John honestly and warmly shares his own experiences of revitalisation and his passion to see churches transformed by the God who delights to resurrect the dead.
This book is an essential read for those considering this kind of ministry, or for those who want to understand the role revitalisation can play in the re–evangelisation of our nation.
Our K–12 school system is an artificial product of market forces. It isn’t a good fit for all—or even most—students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels over differences in learning style.
Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged, disconnected, and unhappy. And when they struggle, school pressures parents, with overwhelming force, into “fixing” their children rather than questioning the system.
From the Publisher:
The book of Revelation is both intriguing and intimidating. We want to know what the future holds for believers but the strange creatures, cryptic numbers, and stark warnings contained in the book puzzle us and the future remains a mystery. We decide Revelation is just too difficult and give up on understanding its message.
In these undated devotions, Bible teacher, Justin Mote, reassures us that the book of Revelation ‘is not as daunting as we might think’. Justin helps us to understand the unfamiliar pictures by showing us their roots in the Old Testament and uses reflection questions to encourage us to apply the message of this book to our lives today.
Getting to grips with Revelation can lead to wonderful blessing, assurance about the future, and great encouragement to keep going as a Christian now.
