Holy Bible: From the Ancient Eastern Text: George M. Lamsa's Translation From the Aramaic of the Peshitta

This is where we begin. This Bible is not a version, but a re-translation by a man who was raised speaking Aramaic, the language historians agree was the spoken language of the Holy Land at the time of Christ. His translation clarifies many confusing and contradictory passages that have caused many to stumble.

Begin the journey of another amazing woman of God with The Hiding Place, the story of a Dutch family, the Ten Booms, who were imprisoned in the German concentration camps for hiding Jews in their home. Most of them died there, but by a miracle Corrie made it out alive, and her account of the experience will change your life. What happened next? Read Tramp for the Lord , the amazing story of Corrie's world travels to spread her hard-learned word that there is no darkness greater than the ocean of God's love. Corrie went on to publish many wonderful and uplifting books, but one that deals with a rarely-touched subject is hard to find and truly precious, so keep your eye open for Intellect Not Needed, the story of her ministry with Down's Syndrome children before those fateful events of WWII, at your favorite vintage bookstore or yardsale.

The subject of many rumors and some flat-out lies, we have met and spoken with the author of Mutant Message Down Under and have had our own dealings with Aborigines which lead us to believe that her story is true: a personal account of an American woman from the Mid-West, working with disadvanted youth in Australia, who was taken on a four month walkabout by a tribe of Aborigines. Deeply spiritual, uplifting, and very very real, this beautiful account of a life-changing experience is a must-read! Newer versions have been abridged of the best parts, and we have endeavored to link to the original version.

Jessie Penn Lewis, writer of War on the Saints (to your left), was regarded highly by Watchman Nee and authored many small books published by the Overcomer Literature Trust which are essential reading but hard to find through any commercial outlet, so keep an eye open for them at your favorite vintage bookstore. Here are a few of these titles:

Abandonment to the Spirit
Life Out of Death
Soul and Spirit
Life in the Spirit
Power for Service

Another vital author on topics of Christian living and spiritual warfare, Hannah Whitall Smith's practical and practiceable book is a mainstay and a refreshing relief for many.

Ever wonder what happened to the original believers in the Middle East? There are lots of online resources where you can learn about Armenia, the first Christian nation (est 300 A.D.) but little about the modern descendants of the early believers.
