Some readers undoubtedly already know of this excellent resource, of which used copies of the 1918 publication are still available online and in used book stores.  After her children were raised, Mrs. Boyd compiled the thoughts of a variety of 19th century writers who had rightly divided the scriptures.

This 224 pp book represents the the struggles of more and more in the U.S. Armed Forces who have come under Holy Spirit conviction concerning Jesus' words "love your enemies", and nagging the questions about Christians in the military and obligation to defend their country.  Dean and Tania Taylor were husband and wife while active in the Army and had to come to grips with these and other questions.  Dean has written of their seeking the scripture as well as the writings of Christians of the first few hundred years of Christianity, and written the answers they found from the historical and biblical teaching of war and peace.  He writes of the persecution and struggles of a "no compromise" believer in the military, and how they obtained conscientious objector status and discharge. 

This book is such an encouragement to others in the Armed Forces and to those thinking of enlisting, that Polyventure Publications will mail you a copy free while supplies last.  Request your free copy of this timely book by e-mailing polypubs@hctc.com.

The title describes this well documented and challenging 381 page book, written by an active missionary in West Africa.  Although the challenge is to face the Truth, Holiness and Love of the Lord Jesus personally, the historical documentation is suitable for educational purposes at home, homeschool and private school.  The book begins with the contribution of the Greeks and Romans while outlining the condition of Israel, when the fulness of time had come.  Then following the apostles, the Roman persecution and causes, with great synopses of early Christian lives.  The book continues on through the falling away from truth, the remnant, the reformation and beyond.  The historical data is presented without bias, followed by thought provoking questions which challenge the reader's own position.  All this in easy format and reading to ultimately get the reader to face the Truth, Holiness & Love of the Lord Jesus Christ Personally.  This book is a must read and reference for the believer who is interested in how the history of the Christian Era has shaped modern thought and interpretation, leaving the reader with the question, ARE WE LIKE CHRIST?

Letter to my children concerning                                           
GOD AND COUNTRY                                                                                                  
 From A Christian Perspective;  
by Carl Mease                                     

This 45 page booklet (5.5x8.5 stapled) is a result of a parent's discipling his teenage sons, and the resulting prayer guided research into the New Testament position on non-resisitance.  Due to requests from other teens, the letter was put into booklet form.  Because the content also addresses civil disobedience, patriotism, just war, and terrorism; the booklet form of the letter took on the God and Country title.  There are much longer works presenting this biblical position, yet this book is unique, in that while being brief, the New Testament position is sufficiently presented.  Whether a traditionalist, orthodox, liberal, evangelical, fundamentalist, or skeptic, you will find this work to be challenging, insightful, and maybe even life changing.

This booklet can read/printed free from our Free-read e-books page.

A hard copy is available for Free which includes shipping and handling worldwide.  Request by e-mail us at polypubs@hctc.com, or write to Polyventure Publications, 3500 State Route 106, Union, Wa. 98592, USA.

Mr. Boyd hits head on the American evangelical fusion of the kingdom of God with a preferred version of the kingdom of the world.  He explains how this is idolatry and is having serious negative consequences for Christ's church and the advancement of God's kingdom.  The purpose of the book is to cast a braod vision of the kingdom of God and show its stark contrast to the kingdom of the world.  This book by pastor Gregory Boyd caused 20% of his congregation to leave his church, but those who remained know he only teaches the truth of God's Word.

A new look at Today's Evangelical Churhc in the Light of Early Christianity by David Bercot
The author takes you on an engrossing journey back to the end of the first century.  Here is an inspiring account of what Christians believed and practiced at the close of the age of the apostles - and how the church eventually lost the Christianity of the time.  But this is not primarily a history book, it is a fresh, creative look at the problems facing the church today - and the solution to those problems.  It is a call for today's church to return to the simple holiness, unfailing love, and patient cross-bearing of the early Christians.
