So deep and strong was the connection of government to the Christian faith in early America that the relationship was recognized in a variety of ways. Few realize that the United States Capitol was used as a church for years before it was used to convene the United States Congress. For nearly three-quarters of a century, the United States Capitol was used for church services. In fact, it became a meeting place for a number of churches in Washington D.C. While secularists wish to keep this and many other similar historical facts quiet, this fact is one of thousands that witnesses to the spiritual heritage America's Founding Fathers have bequeathed to succeeding generations.When the United States Capitol Was a Church will encourage believers to stand upon their Christian heritage and assist them in striving to leave a godly legacy to succeeding generations.

In the twenty-first century, many of the influences of the Christian faith have been obscured and belittled by secular and irreligious forces. Among the many arenas of cultural disagreement between Christians and non-Christians is the observance of holidays. For decades, Christmas—one of the most sacred seasons on the Christian calendar—has been one of the numerous arenas of conflict. Few recognize that the cultural icon of Santa Claus is one of the many, many influences of Christianity upon the Christmas season. St. NicholasSt. Nicholas—How a Christian Pastor Became Santa Claus sketches the transformation of the legacy of a Christian pastor—Nicholas of Myra—into the fictitious Santa Claus. Though his life was historically celebrated on December 6, the caricature of Santa Claus has come to supplant the real purpose of Christmas—the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Following the historical transformation of Nicholas into Santa Claus, readers are invited to return to an appreciation of the true life of Nicholas and the Lord whom he served.St. Nicholas Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

He is perhaps the foremost known author on prayer. Edward McKendree Bounds—named in honor of Methodist bishop, William McKendree—is remembered across denominational and theological lines for his insightful works on prayer. For more than a century, Bounds’ works—such as Power Through Prayer and many others—have been a source of inspiration to generations of ministers and laity alike.E. M. Bounds, as he is popularly known, was a Confederate chaplain, minister, and editor with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Having attained a position of editorial leadership in his denomination, he exercised his duties with fidelity to an historical interpretation of Scripture. But, by the end of the nineteenth century, the church in America and throughout Europe was being seduced by the rising influence of Darwinism. Bounds, however, was unwilling to acquiesce to the liberalism that was tutored by the myth of Darwinism and so found himself at odds with the Methodist leadership that was all too eager to renounce the biblical theology of John Wesley.Sharing a common spiritual and theological heritage with E. M. Bounds, Douglas Lane has built upon Bounds’ time-honored work of The Possibilities of Prayer. Douglas has developed a companion study guide or workbook which invites readers to consider more carefully Bounds’ biblical teaching on this important subject. At the end of each chapter, readers will discover study questions, topics for discussion, and a source of biblical references. Christian Heritage Fellowship is proud to partner with Douglas in sending this work to press. We do so with the sincere hope it will be a blessing to God’s people and that it might be used to help initiate an era in which the Church most accurately reflects the character of its Lord. May God make it so! NOTE: Sold individually. Distributed through Amazon and made available when desired by hosts at Christian Heritage events. Please email us concerning bulk prices.

In 1809, President James Madison appointed John Quincy Adams as America's first ambassador to Russia. Leaving his oldest son behind in America, Mr. Adams—sensible of his spiritual obligation to his son—began to write a series of letters to help provide basic guidance to his son concerning his son's spiritual disciplines, the importance of Bible study, and it basic teachings. His admonition to his son was, "build upon the Rock" of the Lord Jesus Christ. Though written with their oldest son-George-in mind, Mr. Adams fully intended that these nine letters also be kept and collected for the benefit of "brothers and sisters." Originally published in 1850, the Letters of John Quincy Adams are now once again available in this special presentation edition. Get your copy today! NOTE: Sold individually.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918 – 2008) was a distinguished Russian author and dissident who raised global awareness of the communist oppression in the Soviet Union. Born into a devout family of the Russian Orthodox Church, Solzhenitsyn and his family resisted the Soviet anti-religion campaign, but he eventually lost his Christian faith and embraced atheistic Marxism. While serving in the Red Army, Solzhenitsyn was arrested and sentenced to eight years in the Gulag for calling for the overthrow of Soviet communism in his private correspondence with a fellow field officer. His traumatic prison experience led him to return to his Orthodox Christian faith. His publications earned him global notoriety but disdain from Soviet authorities. Published in 1971, his book The Gulag Archipelago outraged communist authorities. Stripped of his Soviet citizenship in 1974, he was flown to West Germany from which he moved to Switzerland; in 1976, he moved with his family to Vermont in the United States where he continued to write. In 1990 his Soviet citizenship was restored and four years later he returned to Russia where he remained until his death in 2008. While living in the West, Solzhenitsyn received various honors. Among them was a request to deliver the Harvard University commencement address on June 8, 1978. Unflinching in his moral courage, Solzhenitsyn denounced both the horrors of the communist Soviet Union and the loss of faith and morality that had laid the foundation of Western civilization. This address earned Solzhenitsyn the disdain of the intellectual elites, but he remained undeterred in his resolve. Five years later on May 10, 1983, he was honored with the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Prince Philip presided at the awards ceremony at Buckingham Palace, London. Later that same day at the London Guildhall, Solzhenitsyn delivered his well-known address, "Men Have Forgotten God". As he began his address, he observed the uniqueness of the occasion: "This is the first time that the Templeton Prize has been awarded to an Orthodox Christian." He then proceeded to recount vivid vignettes of the victims of atheistic Soviet communism. Having been an eyewitness to the horrors of communist Marxism, Solzhenitsyn attributed the moral decline of the West to the decline of Christianity.
