Book Description
In Witnesses of Perfection Amy Caswell Bratton explores how the eighteenth-century doctrine of Christian Perfection spread in the early British Methodist communities. Alongside leaders such as John and Charles Wesley teaching about Christian Perfection, Methodist men and women told narratives of Christian Perfection which transmitted the doctrine. Using narrative to spread Christian Perfection was effective because it both communicated the content of the experience of Christian Perfection and also commended this experience to the listener. This study is noteworthy for its detailed analysis of several first-hand narratives that testify to the experience, and which were made public for the edification of the Methodist community in the Arminian Magazine and other publications. The narratives of four Methodist people are examined at length: Sarah Crosby (1729-1804), George Clark (1710-1797), William Hunter (1728-1797) and Bathsheba Hall (1745-1780). In addition to observing the transmission of the doctrine through narrative, the study of these stories illuminates early Methodist spirituality and the doctrine of Christian Perfection (or entire sanctification) through the embodiment of Perfection in the life of real people. This lived-out expression of Christian Perfection draws attention to unique elements of the doctrine as each narrative illustrates nuances of Christian Perfection. Finally, the narratives of Perfection offer the embodiment of transformation which resulted in lasting change.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Riches of Grace, or the Blessing of Perfect Love, as Experienced, Enjoyed, and Recorded, by Living Witnesses For several years past, I have noticed in conference and prayer meetings, that the relation of Christian experience has been peculiarly interesting and profitable; and as editor of the Guide to Holiness, I could but be sensibly impressed, by public and private correspond ence, as well as by personal interviews, with the importance of those communications which have described the deeper workings of grace in the hearts of God's people.

Book Description
Your handicap does not disqualify you from being an ambassador for Jesus Christ. If you are a Christian who struggles to witness because of your condition, then this inspiring book is a must read! I want you to understand even though you have a disability God has given you a ministry to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ! You are called to proclaim the word of reconciliation through the grace of God on your life. Since you are born-again, God wants to work through you to bring others into His kingdom! The Bible says, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and HATH COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION 2 Corinthians5:17-18 KJV
