Book Description
The epic life story of a schoolteacher and preacher in Missouri, guerrilla fighter in the Civil War, Congressman, freethinking lecturer and author, and anarchist. A former Methodist preacher and Missouri schoolteacher, John R. Kelso served as a Union Army foot soldier, cavalry officer, guerrilla fighter, and spy. Kelso became driven by revenge after pro-Southern neighbors stole his property, burned down his house, and drove his family and friends from their homes. He vowed to kill twenty-five Confederates with his own hands and, often disguised as a rebel, proceeded to track and kill unsuspecting victims with "wild delight." The newspapers of the day reported on his feats of derring-do, as the Union hailed him as a hero and Confederate sympathizers called him a monster. Teacher, Preacher, Soldier, Spy: The Civil Wars of John R. Kelso is an account of an extraordinary nineteenth-century American life. During Reconstruction, Kelso served in the House of Representatives and was one of the first to call for the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. Personal tragedy then drove him west, where he became a freethinking lecturer and author, an atheist, a spiritualist, and, before his death in 1891, an anarchist. Kelso was also a strong-willed son, a passionate husband, and a loving and grieving father. The Civil War remained central to his life, challenging his notions of manhood and honor, his ideals of liberty and equality, and his beliefs about politics, religion, morality, and human nature. Throughout his life, too, he fought private wars--not only against former friends and alienated family members, rebellious students and disaffected church congregations, political opponents and religious critics, but also against the warring impulses in his own character. In Christopher Grasso's hands, Kelso's life story offers a unique vantage on dimensions of nineteenth-century American culture that are usually treated separately: religious revivalism and political anarchism; sex, divorce, and Civil War battles; freethinking and the Wild West. A complex figure and passionate, contradictory, and prolific writer, John R. Kelso here receives a full telling of his life for the first time.

Book Description
With the American frontier opening up to free settlers in the mid 1800’s, came a smorgasbord of evil men in a lawless land. To reach the masses in the wilderness, religious groups sent their representatives, but none quite like Ryan Jarred. Having been raised by a caring Methodist Minister when left an orphan, Ryan could never forget that no one had tried to stop the murder of his entire family. This would in time destine him to venture into a land that would test the core of his beliefs unlike any other minister, Circuit Rider or preacher in pioneer America. Ryan carried a pair of holstered precision made Beau-Fort Adams, five shot Revolvers given to him by the caring minister who raised him as a child for ten years. Jarred was skilled to expert level in the use of these weapons. Paramount to Ryan’s absolute belief was that for evil to grow and prosper all it takes is good people to stand back and do nothing. He did not...

Book Description
So You Think You've Been Called to Be a Pastor?: Pastoring 101 is a workbook primarily written for new pastors and ministers who think they have been called to be a pastor. Yet seasoned pastors can benefit from this book as well. Someone said that 50 percent of new pastors give up after their first year. In my humblest opinion, many who feel they are called to be a pastor have never been properly mentored. They are not prepared for the various seasons that will take place within their ministry. Someone needs to tell them about pastoral fluctuations: the bitters and the sweets, the unpredictability of membership and finances, betrayals, apathy, childishness, and the perpetual delays that come with growing a church. By writing this workbook, I have officially accepted the assignment to be that someone. In this age of mega churches with multi-million dollar programs, it is easy for pastors of small churches to feel like failures; we don't measure up. This workbook provides practical information to help pastors successfully navigate through various pastoral seasons. This workbook is divided into fourteen sections. A few sections are: "What to Expect as a New Pastor," "The Danger of Being a Carbon Copy of Someone Else's Ministry," "What Do You Do When the Pews Are Not Full," and "Members Say and Do the Strangest Things." At the end of each section, there is a "Fireside Chat." Various questions will be asked, and I invite you to daily RELAX: R - Rest and renew, E - Eat healthy foods, L - Laugh a lot, A - Ask God (pray always), and X - Xercise your body and mind. There is also a space provided called "My Journal." Write whatever you want. This is a practical handbook that should be given to every new pastor.

Book Description
Now, in the West, such apostasy as deep and wide as was the past works of revival has now set in. There surely never has been in the history of redemption such a time as this. Humanity needs gospel workers—men mighty in the scriptures and filled with the Holy Ghost—to take the good news of the gospel again to the multitudes. So You Want to Be a Street Preacher offers advice for men looking to fill this role, those who believe they have a gift to preach God’s Word and desire to reach the lost of this world. Author Jimmy Hamilton, a.k.a. the Street Preacher, writes in the hope that God will raise up an army of street preachers throughout the world and send them into cities, towns, and villages to herald Christ once again. In this way, God will be glorified, Christ lifted up, and the church gathered in from the four corners of the earth. This guide for young men hoping to become street preachers seeks to take them with a heaven-sent love to rescue the perishing, care for the dying, and snatch them from sin and the grave.
