This is a non-fiction book about growing up in the church of Gates of Heaven Pentecostal Churches, Incorporated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Gates of Heaven Pentecostal Church Incorporated ministry started in the 1950s and continues to thrive and grow. It was started by a group of young people and a minister by the name of Minister Lena Thomas. They faithfully stepped out of the boat and decided they could walk on water. At Jesus' command they took a leap of faith and as a result, many people have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Backsliders have restored their rightful place in Jesus' heart. Demons have been cast out. Lives have been permanently changed for the better. All things were not perfect; but where repentance, grace, mercy and love abide so does growth and surrender and the peace that passes all understanding and a life that is more abundant.

A collection of anecdotes and illustrations collected by D.L. Moody during his course of reading, organized by book and chapter of the Bible.

It shows throughout a deep awareness and appreciation of the grand themes of the gospel, as found from the opening book of the Bible through Revelation.

The story of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's life is nothing less than titanic. Within 2 years and 6 months of accepting the pastorate of the New Park Street Chapel as a boy of 19, the Sunday service grew from 242 to over 7,000 in attendance. What can account for the meteoric rise in popularity? Why did so many wish to hear his sermons? It is the same reason why one ought to study the sermons of Spurgeon to this day: in a famished land of moralism, he preached the bread of Jesus Christ. Containing the first three volumes of the sixty-three volumes published from the Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit, this book holds 164 sermons, 'as plump as a partridge, and as full of meat as an egg.' David A. Attebury is currently pursuing a Masters of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
