Have you ever asked yourself the question "What made the church in the book of Acts so powerful?" Perhaps you have asked yourself the question "Why does the modern church looked profoundly different than the church recorded in the book of Acts?" In Commissioned by Jesus, Recapturing the Heart of the Early Church, we will carefully examine how the early church devoted themselves to what Jesus taught during His earthly ministry.In this book, you will gain an understanding of the importance of thinking with an apostolic mindset; the importance of prayer; the need for signs, wonders, and miracles; the role of joy in the life of a believer; being faithful to follow Jesus until death; and so much more.Are you ready to be commissioned by Jesus and see the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ?

A legendary work of literary wizardry in which the author reckons with Christopher Columbus, America, myth, and his great-grandfather Herman Melville. First published in 1965, Genoa is Paul Metcalf's literary masterpiece in which he attempts to purge the burden of his relationship to his great-grandfather Herman Melville. In his signature polyphonic style, a storm-tossed Indiana attic becomes the site of a reckoning with the life of Melville; with Columbus, and his myth; and between two brothersone, an MD who refuses to practice; the other, an executed murderer. Genoa is a triumph, a novel without peer, that vibrates and sings a quintessentially American song. Includes an introduction by Rick Moody (The Ice Storm).
