The Padgett Messages, Volume 4 1917


Book Description

Welcome to the reading of the Padgett Messages - the Gospel of God's Love, revealed anew by Jesus and other Celestials.After the sudden passing of his wife Helen in 1914, James E. Padgett (1852 - 1923), a prominent Washington, D.C. lawyer, discovered his astonishing mediumistic gift of automatic writing. His heartfelt desire to communicate with his departed wife, led him to discover his psychic senses and to receive written messages, commencing his outstanding communications with spirits. It was Jesus and many other Celestial spirits who told him to pray with all the sincere longings of his soul to the Father for the inflowing into his soul of the Divine Love, that comes from God in order to obtain this Love in sufficient abundance to change the quality of his mediumistic skills into the necessary spiritual condition and quality, so that it would be possible for the high Celestial spirits to make that close rapport with him, so that high Truths could be written through him. If there is one essence, that we can take away with us in our journey of experience of reading the Padgett Messages, it is, that the Divine Love and the experience of Divine Love is available for our heart and soul. By being aware and receptive to this Love, we can experience these feelings of Divine Love in our own life.James Edward Padgett was born August 25, 1852, in Washington, D.C. He attended the Polytechnic Academy Institute at Newmarket, Virginia. In 1880 he was admitted to the bar in Washington, D.C. He practiced law for 43 years until his death on March 17, 1923, in his 71st year.
















The Christian Philosophy of William Temple


Book Description

A. PURPOSE AND PLAN William Temple was trained as a philosopher and lectured on phi losophy at Oxford (1904), but his concern for labor, education, journalism, and the Church of England led him away from philosophy as a profession. Enthroned in 1942 as Archbishop of Canterbury, Temple persisted in applying his Christian position to the solution of the problems of the day. He will be remembered for his contributions in many areas of life and thought: his work in the ecumenical movement, and his writings in theology and social ethics attest to the variety and depth of his concern, but of special significance is his contribution toward the construction of a distinctly Christian philosophy relevant to the twentieth century. Although Temple did not work out a systematic formulation of his Christian philosophy, the bases for a Christian philosophy are never theless evident in his position. It is the purpose of the present work to enter sympathetically and critically into the major facets of Temple's position and to weave together, as far as is legitimate, the separate strands of his thought into a meaningful, even if not a completely unified, Christian philosophy. The intent is not simply to present Temple's conclusions on a variety of philosophical and theological issues; rather, Temple's position is developed systematically, and the arguments for the conclusions at which he arrived are carefully ex pounded.

Mrs. Oswald Chambers


Book Description

Among Christian devotional works, My Utmost for His Highest stands head and shoulders above the rest, with more than 13 million copies sold. But most readers have no idea that Oswald Chambers's most famous work was not published until ten years after his death. The remarkable person behind its compilation and publication was his wife, Biddy. And her story of living her utmost for God's highest is one without parallel. Bestselling novelist Michelle Ule brings Biddy's story to life as she traces her upbringing in Victorian England to her experiences in a WWI YMCA camp in Egypt. Readers will marvel at this young woman's strength as she returns to post-war Britain a destitute widow with a toddler in tow. Refusing personal payment, Biddy proceeds to publish not just My Utmost for His Highest, but also 29 other books with her husband's name on the covers. All the while she raises a child alone, provides hospitality to a never-ending stream of visitors and missionaries, and nearly loses everything in the London Blitz during WWII. The inspiring story of a devoted woman ahead of her times will quickly become a favorite of those who love true stories of overcoming incredible odds, making a life out of nothing, and serving God's kingdom.




In Defense of Housing


Book Description

In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.
