When Faith is Enough by Fern Willner is the story of a missionary wife and mother of seven, living in the wilds of Africa with her husband and family before the days of modern medicine and Internet communications. The family must rely on God and God alone - when money runs out, children are feverish with malaria and their African neighbors bring them seemingly insurmountable problems. Fern and her family learn to trust God at a new level and to depend on Jesus to accomplish more than they could have imagined possible. This book is for anyone who needs fresh faith and fresh hope. The stories contained in each chapter illustrate the essential principles of truly living by faith. Readers cannot help but be inspired and encouraged to apply these principles of faith in the many challenges of life. Author Fern C. Willner graduated from both Evangel College in Springfield, Missouri and Zion Bible Institute in East Providence, Rhode Island. At Zion she met her future husband, Rev. Charles Willner, with whom she went on to share a life of ministry and adventure, along with their seven children. She felt called to write When Faith is Enough to share the many principles of faith that she experienced throughout her life and to encourage people to know that God is able to meet their every need in every situation. Fern went to be with the Lord in 2002 and this book seeks to keep her vibrant testimony alive.
A thought-provoking study of all the pagan influences which permeate Christianity and of which most adherents of that religion know nothing. Written by a church sabbath day reformer and theologian at Alfred University, New York, this work delves into the origins of the practices of modern Christianity, many of which will astound the reader.While the adoption of the pagan festivals of the year-end Yule ("Christmas") and of the Spring fertility rite of Ostara ("Easter") are well-known, this work reveals that almost all of the rituals and even belief systems as practised by modern Christian churches are pagan in origin.The author shows how early Christian antisemitism led many of the first originators of that religion to reject many of Christianity's founding principles, which were based firmly on older Jewish concepts and religious rules. This, he shows, led to a reinterpretation and revision of much of the original theological framework by pagan-influenced Gnostics.Then he showed how this initial disruption of the founding principles of Christianity opened the doors to a flood of pagan practices which were absorbed into the rituals of the church. These included baptism, the use of "holy water" (the latter two, the author shows, come directly from Indian, Egyptian and Northern European mythology), the very idea of "church buildings," the layout and format of all church services, the items used in church rituals (such as the communion cup and others), candles, lights, the clothing worn by religious figures, child-naming ceremonies, Sunday observance, the "mother and child" symbolism of Mary and Jesus; the universally-used "Chi-ro" symbol, and even the symbol of the cross itself. A riveting book for believers and non-believers alike, and essential reading for anyone interested in the origin and development of Christianity.
"All knowledge is from Allah. When we study, the knowledge of Allah and His creations should go together. It shouldn't be separated like it is nowadays. When children learn science, they should be encouraged to marvel at the Creator. Math is a set of patterns. Who is it that created these patterns? Allah! The purpose of this book is to link our Creator to the subjects taught in school. It encourages teachers and parents to find ways to teach about Allah and Islam into school subjects, turning it into comprehensive lessons. Each chapter has examples of lessons that you can use with your children"--
