DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs Christians, we face struggles every day as we strive to live holy as God has commanded us to live. Chapter One undertakes the task of detailing the eight important missions and attributes of the Holy Spirit as He operates in the life of the believer. Chapter Two describes the flesh as the Spirit's opposing warrior. We learn that even after having experienced the salvation of Christ, one cannot easily escape the effects of the flesh that is always loitering around waiting for the opportunity to spring into action and cause chaos in one's life. Chapter Three answers the question of why there is a war within us and teaches us in details about the tricks or tactics Satan uses in his battles against us. It teaches us that as believers we must never underestimate the cunning of the devil and therefore try to outsmart him. We learn that the battle begins in our mind and leads to unrighteous thoughts and actions. Chapter Four explores the flesh from the aspect of the law of sin and death and denotes the works of the flesh are evil, wicked, and produces actions. It emphasizes that any pleasure derived from the seventeen works of the flesh is short-lived and won't last! Chapter Five speaks to the sexual sins and includes a detailed exploration of these sexual sins from the Old Testament times even to today, and their debilitating effects on the life of the believer. Chapter Six explores the spiritual and attitudal sins and explains how these sins can often lead to or involve the aforementioned sexual sins. Chapter Seven is a look at why we as believers continue to lose our battles with the flesh, and how we must choose how we will fight our battles. It challenges the reader to be evaluate his or her life in light of God's word and acknowledge that repeated sins in a believer's life is evidence of a life not completely yielded to Christ. Chapter Eight is a very detailed look at each slice of the fruit of the Spirit and examines the placement or position of each fruit slice and its connection to the adjoining slices of the fruit. Very importantly, this chapter points out that each slice of the fruit of the Spirit demonstrates a characteristic of Christ. Chapter Nine specifically provides vital information of how we can win our spiritual battles. It emphasizes that if you're not facing any spiritual warfare, then a close examination of oneself is necessary. It encourages every believer with the knowledge that spiritual warfare will happen to those who belong to Christ. Finally, Chapter Ten emphasizes the believer's connection to Jesus Christ as the only way for us to be reconciled and connected to God the Father. The chapter concludes with Romans 12:1-2 as a scripture that teaches us how we can ensure that we walk in the Spirit and bear spiritual fruit that shows we are connected to the True Vine.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile the North prevailed in the Civil War, ending slavery and giving the country a "new birth of freedom," Heather Cox Richardson argues in this provocative work that democracy's blood-soaked victory was ephemeral. The system that had sustained the defeated South moved westward and there established a foothold. It was a natural fit. Settlers from the East had for decades been pushing into the West, where the seizure of Mexican lands at the end of the Mexican-American War and treatment of Native Americans cemented racial hierarchies. The South and West equally depended on extractive industries-cotton in the former and mining, cattle, and oil in the latter-giving rise a new birth of white male oligarchy, despite the guarantees provided by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and the economic opportunities afforded by expansion. To reveal why this happened, How the South Won the Civil War traces the story of the American paradox, the competing claims of equality and subordination woven into the nation's fabric and identity. At the nation's founding, it was the Eastern "yeoman farmer" who galvanized and symbolized the American Revolution. After the Civil War, that mantle was assumed by the Western cowboy, singlehandedly defending his land against barbarians and savages as well as from a rapacious government. New states entered the Union in the late nineteenth century and western and southern leaders found yet more common ground. As resources and people streamed into the West during the New Deal and World War II, the region's influence grew. "Movement Conservatives," led by westerners Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, claimed to embody cowboy individualism and worked with Dixiecrats to embrace the ideology of the Confederacy. Richardson's searing book seizes upon the soul of the country and its ongoing struggle to provide equal opportunity to all. Debunking the myth that the Civil War released the nation from the grip of oligarchy, expunging the sins of the Founding, it reveals how and why the Old South not only survived in the West, but thrived.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis unique history of the Civil War considers the impact of nineteenth-century American secret societies on the path to as well as the course of the war. Beginning with the European secret societies that laid the groundwork for Freemasonry in the United States, Mark A. Lause analyzes how the Old World's traditions influenced various underground groups and movements in America, particularly George Lippard's Brotherhood of the Union, an American attempt to replicate the political secret societies that influenced the European revolutions of 1848. Lause traces the Brotherhood's various manifestations, the most conspicuous being the Knights of the Golden Circle (out of which developed the Ku Klux Klan), and the Confederate secret groups through which John Wilkes Booth and others attempted to undermine the Union. Lause profiles the key leaders of these organizations, with special focus on George Lippard, Hugh Forbes, and George Washington Lafayette Bickley. Antebellum secret societies ranged politically from those with progressive or even revolutionary agendas to those that pursued conservative or oppressive goals. This book shows how, in the years leading up to the Civil War, these clandestine organizations exacerbated existing sectional tensions in the United States. Lause's research indicates that the pervasive influence of secret societies may have played a part in key events such as the Freesoil movement, the beginning of the Republican party, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Lincoln's election, and the Southern secession process of 1860-1861. This exceptional study encompasses both white and African American secret society involvement, revealing the black fraternal experience in antebellum America as well as the clandestine operations that provided assistance to escaped slaves via the Underground Railroad. Unraveling these pervasive and extensive networks of power and influence, A Secret Society History of the Civil War demonstrates that antebellum secret societies played a greater role in affecting Civil War-era politics than has been previously acknowledged.
