Through the Eye of a Needle- The Doctrine of Nonaccumulation
This site is dedicated to those who are seeking pure, genuine Christianity. By no means do we want to leave the impression that we have recaptured this in its fullness. We continue seeking. What is here is simply sharing what we have learned.
I have lots of material to add to this site in the future, so keep checking the site every few weeks for new additions (Lately, I'm not getting much done on the English side of this site... Excuse me, please!). If you are hungering and thirsting for more of the kingdom, write us sharing what you have found. Also, tell your Spanish and Portuguese-speaking friends about this site.
Note: The Spanish and Portuguese articles and books on this site are not the same as the English.
Feast well!

How the Methodists Saved America
Did
you know that many, if not most, of the early Methodists were
non-resistant, refusing to bear arms in the Revolutionary
War? And that they would put out of their class meeting any
lady that continued to wear lacy dresses. And yet, they
eventually gained 5% of the US population. Can a
non-resistant, non-conformed church affect a society in a positive
way? Read on!
The Secret
of the Strength (WORD)
PDF Format- An
examination of the 15th-century "Anabaptist" movement, and how it
"turned the world upside down" 500 years ago. You may not
agree with the "Anabaptists" in all their doctrine and practice (I
didn't) nor the author's conclusions (I didn't), but this book will
make you examine your own faith. But what is happening among
the hundreds of thousands of descendents of this move of God?

Scenes
from the life of David Zeisberger Very
few people know who David Zeisberger was. What a shame that
the life of a dedicated missionary, right here in the USA, should go
into oblivion. David's commitment to God and to the American
natives will surely stretch your commitment. If not, God help
you!
The Net
of Faith This
work is over 500 years old, but just very recently made available to
English readers. Author Peter Chelcicky expounds how Simon
Peter's fishing net became ripped and ruined when some great whales got
into it and thrashed around. Can you guess who these "whales"
were? (Hint, it had to to with the union of the church with
the state...)
The
Russians' Secret This
history (incomplete, of course) will open the eyes to the American
believer who tends to think that we (English and Germans) have had a
"copyright" on Christianity. God has been at work through the
ages in places we have not even imagined! You will probably
not agree with all the Russian believers' methods, doctrines, or
practices- I don't- but you will probably be inspired to follow hard
after the Lamb that was slain.
Riches
to Rags to Riches in Glory.pdf The
true story of one couple's journey of faith, putting into practice the
teachings of Jesus.
Through
the Eye of a Needle- The Doctrine of Nonaccumulation
This
booklet is a bold attempt (one has to be bold to attack materialism) to
turn Christians back to actually practicing the words of Jesus, rather
than making a myriad of excuses.
The
Mystery of the Mark- Anabaptist Missions under the Fire of God
This book by Peter Hoover looks into the beginnings of the
Hutterites and compares their life and outlook with that of a
20th-century mission outreach in Africa. Whether or not you
agree with the authors opinions on mission work or not, the life of
these Tirolian believers will--or at least should!--inspire you to
faith in Jesus.
Behold the Lamb! PDF Format The story of "the Moravians". As well as giving us a peep into the missions of this movement, we find the amazing story that led up to their beginnings. Stir your soul with this peep into the cogs of the missionary outreach!
The Martyr's Mirror Large history of the martyrdom of the saints.
The Spiritual Resurrection -Menno Simons With ample Scripture citations, Menno expounds on the first resurrection and the power it bestows on the recipient. Old sermon, but still relevant, because being born into the kingdom of God is still relevant.
I add the following two links as references for those who would like more information on The Church of God, Restoration. the Church of God movement is my church background.
