In this day of seeker-friendly churches, “Your Best Life Now" messages, and compromised TV evangelists, Uncompromising Faith issues a fresh challenge to live a true faith. This book is a rallying cry to today's Christians to stand for the truth, following the examples of past heroes of the faith. This book will encourage you with the testimonies of four preachers from the past who did not compromise in their day. They believed in the reality of an eternal hell, were not afraid to preach the true gospel, were willing to suffer greatly, and did not shrink from self-denial. In these days in which compromise is epidemic among professing...

New from Kingsley Press Tommie Titcombe was small in stature physically, but spiritually he was a giant. Saved in his early twenties, he soon felt called of God to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who had never heard the good news of salvation. Twice he applied to the Sudan Interior Mission, and twice he was refused. He told the director, Rowland Bingham, that he was going to Africa anyway. Upon being asked what board he was going under, Tommie replied, “I don’t know, Mr. Bingham. It may be some old woman’s wash board, but I’m going to Africa!” Seeing Tommie’s determination, Mr. Bingham soon afterwards relented and accepted...

KP66
Although his name is little known in Christian cirlces today, Anthony Norris Groves (1795-1853) was, according to the writer of this book, one of the most influential men of the nineteenth century.

In 1825 Groves wrote a booklet called Christian Devotedness...
