Start this book off right with this introduction. Leaders with an Apostolic anointing are paving the way to greatness. The new season of the spirit is being prepared for the leaders. Leaders will be confronted by these mature, faithful prophets who will announce with great authority and force that position changes are imminent. True Apostles must now show their authority. "True Apostolic IS Coming" rang out from Heaven as I began to write this sermon. The prophetic message that said, "Apostle come forth" was given to me several months ago. I had no idea what was in store for me. Our apostolic mission will be upon us before we know it, therefore we need to gain a strong grasp on it now." This sort of apostolic leadership is exemplified by Samuel. None of the Lord's teachings were lost, and he did not ask for food from the people." Samuel's life and work have essential features that the Lord wants to pass on to the apostolic leadership that will shortly arise. If we dig deep into Samuel's story, we'll uncover important insights that will help us prepare for this leadership role and minister to the Father's heart. Scripture tells us that when the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus to take up residence within Him, a voice from above confirmed the truth of what had just happened. 2 Corinthians 6:19 An angelic voice proclaimed, "Thou are my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Then the Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove. Similar to the disciples hearing the confirming voice proclaiming Jesus to be God's Son whose words were eternal while seeing the Lord's transfiguration, Apparently, the attesting voice from above indicates that something can be taken for granted as factual. When we have a greater grasp of the apostolic, the more likely it is that we can continue this amazing work without being overwhelmed by its intensity and strength. Praise be to God if we are able to faithfully carry out this important duty with character and honesty. The Lord did not allow a single word of Samuel's to be lost. What a powerful demonstration of the closeness and trust between the Lord and those in authority over Him! As Samuel matured, the Lord was by his side, and nothing he said was lost.

The ancient churches and cathedrals of England's towns and countryside are among the glories of our national heritage, the church spire one of the quintessential features of the landscape. Yet how were our ancestors able to construct these often substantial edifices without the benefit of modern techniques? How did medieval masons plan, design and oversee their construction? What methods of construction were used to achieve the magnificent church spires and ceilings that we marvel at today? Geoffrey R. Sharpe brings more that forty years of experience of managing and caring for historic buildings to provide a unique guide to the design and construction of our historic churches and cathedrals. Building a cathedral could require a workforce of 300 to 400 men, the quarrying of 80,000 tons of stone and involve the felling of 1500 trees. How all this was organized, managed and realized is explained in this compelling volume. The author deals with all aspects - from original planning and preparation, to the final construction and decoration. The layout and choice of materials, the construction of the foundations, walls and ceilings, the work of the highly skilled medieval masons, blacksmiths and carpenters are all described and explained. Individual aspects of church architecture such as corbels, tracery and windows, as well as important features of church interiors such as galleries, burial vaults and screens are included. And in a final chapter the author shows the reader how to assess the history and development of a church from the constructional and architectural clues contained within its features. The result is a work that will add a whole new dimension to understanding English church building and architecture.

In terms that non-architects can grasp (and modern architects can't dismiss!), Michael Rose shows that many modern churches violate the three natural laws of church architecture and lead Catholics to worship, quite simply, a false god. Rose also provides solid arguments (as easy to explain as they are hard to refute) and practical tools that you can use to reverse the dangerous modern trend toward desacralized churches -- and to make our churches once again into magnificent Houses of God!

The author here demonstrates the relationship between liturgical practices and church architecture. He also examines the political, economic and social factors that dictated architectural expression from the time of the catacombs to the magnificent creations of Le Corbusier.

For 1700 years, cathedrals have embodied the glory of God while serving as a physical representation of the power of the church and its leaders. The image of these utterly magnificent buildings with their high quality furnishings and works of art has proved so enduring that expressions such as a "sports cathedral" to describe a stadium or "cathedral of money" for a stock exchange are freely used today. By definition, a cathedral is the seat of a bishop, literally his kathedra, or throne. And as such it is worthy of the very best that the combination of design, décor and fine materials can produce. The big European cathedrals set the standard for all that came after them. The Episcopal churches of northern France gave birth to Gothic architecture, just as the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela had served as a model for the Romanesque style, and Florence Cathedral brought the Renaissance to the very threshold of the modern age. Additional important churches are included along with this panorama of cathedral architecture to provide a more comprehensive overview of sacred architecture. In total 240 magnificent buildings are represented here in outstanding photographs and detailed text, providing a impressive survey of the history of sacred Christian architecture from the medieval period to modern times.

In the year that the English monarchy was abolished, the Prince of Wales's governor posed the poignant question: what was it that made kings different from their subjects? The answer to him was obvious, and the word that described it was 'ceremony'. From crown wearing in the Middle Ages to the jubilees of modern times the English Monarchy has always used the rituals of majesty to command the affection and loyalty of its subjects. This important and original book is the first to examine properly the ceremonial world of an English sovereign. In an age when the king still healed the sick and took his meals in front of a crowd of spectators, a sovereign's ability to carry off this public role could be as important to his success as his command of the army or management of parliament. Charles II lived through the period of the greatest political change England has ever known, witnessing revolution, regicide and restoration. At just 16 he was cast into exile. A poor relation at the court of the young Louis XIV and then the creature of Philip IV of Spain, he knew what it was to wrestle for recognition. This was his apprenticeship. With The Restoration Charles brought the lessons of exile home. The country was soon rocked by plague and fire, and his brother's conversion to Catholicism would bring it once again to the brink of civil war. In the crisis that developed Charles used the rituals of royalty to help save the very institution of hereditary monarchy. Using a huge range of unpublished primary material, and painting a vivid and detailed picture of the daily life of one of England's most charismatic monarchs, Anna Keay's brilliant 'ritual biography' radically reappraises Charles II as The Magnificent Monarch.

"A Magnificent Faith' explains how and why Lutheranism - a confession that derived its significance from the promulgation of God's Word - became a visually magnificent faith, a faith whose adherents sought to captivate Christians' hearts and minds through seeing as well as through hearing. Although Protestantism is no longer understood as an exclusively word-based religion, the paradigm of evangelical ambivalence towards images retains its power. This is the first study to offer an account of the Reformation origins and subsequent flourishing of the Lutheran baroque, of the rich visual culture that developed in parts of the Holy Roman Empire during the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The volume opens with a discussion of the legacy of the Wittenberg Reformation. Three sections then focus on the confessional, devotional, and magnificent image, exploring turning points in Lutherans' attitudes towards religious art. Drawing on a wide variety of archival, printed, and visual sources from two of the Empire's most important Protestant territories - Saxony, the heartland of the Reformation, and Brandenburg - 'A Magnificent Faith' shows the extent to which Lutheran culture was shaped by territorial divisions. It traces the development of a theologically-grounded aesthetic, and argues that images became prominent vehicles for the articulation of Lutheran identity not only amongst theologians but also amongst laymen and women. By examining the role of images in the Lutheran tradition as it developed over the course of two centuries, 'A Magnificent Faith' offers a new understanding of the relationship between Protestantism and the visual arts."--Back cover.
