"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;" (Hebrews 2:3). Part of our deliverance rests in the knowledge of our salvation. Those who neglect it are unable to attain the fullness of deliverance and blessing God has provided for His children. Our salvation, born of God, is immense and immeasurable indeed! This book, Great Words of the Gospel, will open up your understanding to that vastness. The various paradigms of our salvation in Christ, are introduced and explored through a detailed study of the "salvation-related" words found in the Bible, The plan and purpose of God to provide us with complete safety and soundness eternally, is seen through the use of these Great Words of the Gospel! Concepts of salvation are illumined by examining the meanings of the key words God Himself chose to use in Scripture; the New Birth, our redemption, the Atonement, various types of covenants, our propitiation, the meaning of marriage, adoption and justification among other key words. God has made an immense investment to set us free! Most people have no idea, just how saved we really are! That is about to change.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:13, 14). There is no higher or more important calling than that of preaching the Word of God Almighty. It changes the hearts of men and women, even the entire world surrounding us! This book, The Pentecostal Pulpit, deals with the practice and art of preaching the gospel in such a way as to maximize its impact on our world. The importance of gifting and calling are balanced with the more technical aspects of the art of preaching the gospel. Examples of powerfully effective preaching ministry are taken from the lives of Jesus, Paul and recent church history. The most common mistakes in preaching are also revealed. Study and preparation are discussed as primary keys for developing and nurturing the love of God's Word which is the chief ingredient for maximum ministry effectiveness. Every preacher will be greatly encouraged by the help this book offers!

Chant discusses the earthly ministry of Jesus, in this companion work to "Emmanuel" and "Highly Exalted."

This book, "The World's Greatest Story," is an exciting and particularly useful examination of Church history. It is only when we understand our past, that we can put our present in its proper context and gain a useful perspective. Knowing Church history enables us to take meaningful, positive steps that will impact the future. It is a lack of historical knowledge that often forces us to repeat the same errors our spiritual forefathers endured at great personal expense. Gathering an understanding of Church history helps us understanding HOW we came to where we are today. It also gives us concrete examples of what has been done both right and wrong, laying within us, a firm foundation for spiritual growth. More than anything else however, knowledge of Church history builds our confidence as we consider the great victories and advancements achieved by those who have gone before us in Christ.

This book, Authenticity and Authority of the Bible, by Ken Chant, explores how our Bible came into being in its present form; its inspiration and authority and that God is the author. It points out the differences between the Bible and the sacred books of other religions. Chapter 7 tells us of Jesus, the new man, committing himself to the Word and bringing forth an entirely new concept of the Word, that God is alive in Scripture. He broke the barriers of natural perceptions, natural desire, natural family, and his supernatural foe. By His dependence on the Old Testament, Jesus upheld its authority. Archaeology, down through the years, has proven over and over again, the truth of the Bible and its authenticity. Finally inspiration, faith, revelation, and science and all examined, demonstrating again, that the Bible is an authentic book on which we can rely.

More than 2,000 years ago, an unknown Jewish author wrote a history of the miseries his people suffered under three Syrian tyrants during the second century before Christ. This text will help people become fully equipped to serve Christ through the remarkable power of the charismata the Holy Spirit has planted in the church.

Back info for clothed with Power. One lesson that the history of church dogmatics should have taught us is not to be overly dogmatic! This book is a simple presentation regarding Holy Spirit baptism. The position taken generally represents both the Pentecostal and the Charismatic viewpoints. Its approach is somewhere in the middle of the road. The overall position regarding the baptism in the Holy Spirit depends on establishing four things: - That there is available to every Christian an experience known as "Holy Spirit Baptism." - That new birth or "regeneration" and the baptism are separate and distinct experiences that may occur simultaneously at times. - The "glossolalia" (speaking in tongues) is the usual initial evidence that a person has been baptized in the Holy Spirit. - The miracles gifts of the Spirit (the charismata) are still available and should be occurring in the worship of today's church. True glossolalia is not a product of human imagination; it has a spiritual and not a mental origin.

How do you write a book about the most wonderful theme in the universe? Dr Ken Chant struggled with that question when he resolved to write about God. But of course, the task is absurd! Can finite words ever explain the infinite? Can something created ever truly comprehend the creator? No! Any human description of God must be deeply inadequate, like someone trying to describe a lovely panorama that can be seen only through a piece of dark and scratchy glass. At best a clear glimpse can be had here and there, while the rest of view remains shadowed and indistinct. Still, something can be seen. And so it is with God. We cannot do better than see a little here and a little there. Our knowledge must remain partial and fragmented (1 Co 13:9). But because we cannot know everything, it does not follow that we cannot know anything! And this book is an attempt to discover what scripture does reveal to us about the great and glorious God we worship. It includes, too, a discussion about the puzzling question of the future - is it wholly known by God, or only partly? The book is not so much a formal treatise as it is a series of wondering meditations, looking at the Lord with awe, love, adoration, and a song of endless praise!

This book, Faith Dynamics, is about the principles of faith. It details the difference between the aspect of faith or "believing" as it relates to redemption, and the use of "faith" as a force in accomplishing things for God in this world! Jesus assuredly said: "Whatever you ask in prayer believing, you will receive." Never have we needed prayer to work, as we need it today. How to develop belief and apply it to the tasks of "moving mountains" in our lives is what this book endeavors to share with the reader/student. The goal and intent is that each reader will reach new levels of empowerment in meeting life's obstacles and challenges-head on! You are about to discover WHY "faith" is the victory that overcomes the world, moves mountains and guarantees that we will get results when we pray!

Through a series of studies, Dr. Chant contends that it is time for the church to take seriously the extraordinary promises of answered prayer that are scattered throughout the Bible. (Biblical Studies)

Based on the idea that merely reading a book, especially the Bible, is not enough, Chant presents a book of hermeneutics--the art of reading the Bible properly and understanding it well.
