THE BOOMING BARITONE BELL OF ENGLAND – E. G. Romine

“The Booming Baritone Bell of England” by E. G. Romine richly captures the passionate spirit and enthusiastic zeal of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, whose vibrant open-air preaching revealed his true passion for truth and his inherent love of people. Spurgeon’s open-air preaching in his pastoral training had a deeply formative role in Spurgeon’s evangelistic preaching, emboldening him with a holy boldness like never before. This strikingly bold initiative in such passionate preaching empowered the spread and growth of the Gospel, reflecting on a time when people went all out for the Gospel, to find the one lost sheep.

The life and ministry of Charles Spurgeon is a mine filled with glorious gems that equip the Church with a wealth of instructive inspiration. This book challenges every believer to live more prayerfully, zealous for the winning of souls. All Christians will glean precious gems from Spurgeon’s practical, down-to-earth, open-air preaching and from his preaching of Christ crucified to save lost souls. Vast crowds heard Spurgeon’s sermons in open air meetings, which greatly impacted his ministry to spark a zeal for the lost and to see souls saved.

May this exceptional work on open-air preaching, this magnificent labor of love for the Prince of Peace, by the prince of preachers, cause the Booming Baritone Bell to resound reverberatingly in the invigorating atmosphere of our contemporary landscapes. This inspiring book can be read by everyone, historians, scholars and all who have a heart for evangelistic preaching. It will undoubtedly bless the hearts of all who read it.

LIVING AMONG THE BREAKAGE – Duane Alexander Miller

“Living among the Breakage” by Rev. Dr. Duane Alexander Miller is exemplary, highly commendable, pioneer frontline research in a rapidly emerging, expanding and evolving sector of World Christianity, the indigenous theology of ex-Muslim Christians. In his outstanding research work, compelling in its creative simplicity, Rev. Dr. Miller explores the theology of Christians from a Muslim background (CMB) from several important angles: Iranian diaspora congregations; books, poetry, and testimonial literature & a case study of an Arab Middle East congregation. A work of internal contextualization, this is undoubtedly a concerted, disciplined effort and a truly herculean task to analyze the distinctive theology of the CMB churches. It is an original, systematic and analytic piece of highly sensitive research, perceptively attuned to the internal conflicts of former Muslims in transition from the old to the new. It has an exciting sympathy and sensitive realism towards ex-Muslim Christian communities struggling under pressure to adapt to conflicting realities, different contexts, and varied identities. Today, Christians from a Muslim background (CMB) believers are making significant strides and dynamic contributions to the living Church worldwide.
