The Shadow of Calvary


Book Description

Gethsemane, the place of the deepest sorrows of Christ, is where we see our Savior feeling the beginning of His last part of humiliation, trials, and sufferings that would culminate at the Cross. The events surrounding the tree major events - Gethsemane, the arrest, and trial of Christ - are developing so fast in the Gospel accounts, that we are apt to leave out many of the most precious truths about the humiliation and sufferings of the Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Follow the author as he seeks to expound on the three major events before the death of Christ, showing how we should look at these and how they apply to our very lives. Your devotion to Christ will be richly blessed. Hugh Martin (1822-1885) was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor, best known for his doctrinal books on the atonement.

In the Shadow of the Cross: The Deeper Meaning of Calvary


Book Description

The fallen cross stands as a symbol for the spiritual condition of the church of Jesus Christ in the early days of the twenty-first century. In many places and many churches, the cross has fallen to the ground. Instead of boasting in the cross, we have neglected it, substituting in its place religious activity and therapeutic language designed to help us feel better about ourselves...And yet, when the story is truly told, it must be said that Christianity is supremely the religion of the cross. At the center of our faith a dying man hangs suspended between heaven and earth. Pastor Ray Pritchard takes a fresh look at the cross and the God-man on it and asks: who is He? why is He there? what are the words he is speaking? What did the cross mean to God? What did the cross mean to Satan? What does the cross mean to you today? Pastor Ray Pritchard asks these spiritually provocative questions in what will prove to be a spiritual tonic for your soul. Center your world around the anchor of our faith -- the cross. Discover the atonement found where grace and wrath meet. Linger at the foot of the cross.

In The Shadow of The Devil


Book Description

For more than 150 years, the story of the First West Tennessee Cavalry U.S.A. (renamed the Sixth Tennessee Cavalry) has been told from the perspectives of Col. Fielding Hurst, his critics, and his defenders. Now the story of this misunderstood irregular Union cavalry regiment is portrayed through the eyes and emotions of his second-in-command, Lt. Col. William K.M. Breckenridge. Long silenced by death and the mist of history, Breckenridge's journal retells the regiment's story. His contemporary voice and facts drawn from period documents provide a far clearer portrait than previously available. Through careful and detailed research, In The Shadow of the Devil debunks many legends and folklore regarding both Fielding Hurst and the First West Tennessee Cavalry. Further, the reputations of the soldiers themselves are somewhat restored as the specific war crimes of a few are detailed. A life too long hidden by death and the fog of history emerges with a strong and compelling voice. Now allowed to speak, that voice tells a story both convincing and historically significant.
