Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras.

A timeline and "B Sharp" sidebars add details to the composer's life story.

Andrew Murray was one of the most influential preachers of the 1800s and early 1900s. His teachings on Christ as the absolute center of everything in the life of the Christian, and especially the way he presented that truth, have resonated with generations of serious Christians. His writings, such as Abide in Christ, Absolute Surrender, and With Christ in the School of Prayer, continue to send shockwaves throughout the church. However, while his writings on prayer and Christology are often front and center, his teachings on the Holy Spirit have often been overlooked.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 38 years, and spent many of those years in a state of powerful revival. Multitudes came from all over the world to hear him speak. His average Sunday morning services hosted up to six thousand people listening intently to the Word of the Lord. While it is fairly common today to see churches of thousands, in some places there seems to be one on every street corner, back in Spurgeon’s day, it was nothing short of miraculous.

When the Holy Spirit first poured out in the 1730s and 1740s, Jonathan Edwards was at the forefront. The United States had not yet declared independence from England, and was an ever-changing landscape of immigrants from all over the world. These cultures brought an array of false idols, religions, witchcraft, and more. A spiritual war had begun in the nation as the devil attempted to undermine what God was doing in the land.

Few revivals have been as powerful and influential as the Welsh Revival. It was birthed from the unceasing, passionate prayers of men and women of God all over Wales, and led by the anointing-saturated young man, Evan Roberts. However, because Evan Roberts was a naturally reclusive man, and the teaching of humility was so important during the revival, we have very few eyewitness accounts or testimonies that give us deeper insights into how and why God moved in that time.

When one listens to a true story of a life like that contained in this book, it would be easy to think that the person must be a hero, or a legend unlike any other. In most cases, this would be true. However, in the case of the Oregon Trail, Ezra Meeker was just one of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children who travelled the treacherous 2,170 mile long road that claimed, according to Meeker, a number of lives that will never truly be known.

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian composer, widely regarded as the "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet." A central figure of the Classical era, he shaped musical form and style with innovation, wit, and expressive clarity.

His influence deeply inspired Mozart and Beethoven, securing his legacy as one of Classical music's great pioneers.

This account includes vivid illustrations, photos of key sites, a timeline, and "B Sharp" sidebars that highlight key moments in his remarkable life.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was a German composer and pianist of the Romantic era, known for blending classical traditions with emotional depth and complexity.

Marianna Martines (1744-1812) was one of eighteenth-century Vienna's most prominent composers. She received more acclaim than perhaps any other female composer of her time. Martines was a renowned singer as well as harpsichord player and composer. Empress Maria Theresa, the biggest musical patron in Vienna, was immensely taken with the young composer. At a time when most male composers either worked for the church or a royal court, Martines was able to accomplish incredible things without formal employment.

John G. Lake is famous for his healing ministry and his boldness. The fact that he offered people money if they could come to his healing rooms and leave sick, and never had to pay it. The fact that a hospital closed because all the sick people were going to his meetings and getting healed, and far more than could fit in this little introduction, shows the intensity of faith that man had. His understanding of healing was unparalleled, and yet simple. He realized that there are two pillars of healing every believer should understand: The New Covenant, and our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

The time of William Carey was unique in Church history. It was a time when missions had almost entirely ceased because of an extreme version of the doctrine of predestination. This belief is summed up in the words of J. R. Ryland (father of John Ryland) to William Carey at that fateful conference that would change Carey’s life forever.

This book by one of the greatest evangelical and Pentecostal New Testament interpreters of our time argues that the presence of the Spirit is, for Paul and for us, the crucial matter for the Christian life.

Men and women of God have been studying the life of Paul the Apostle since the dawn of the New Covenant. Having written 13 (or perhaps 14 if you include Hebrews) of the 27 books of the New Testament, his writings, breathed by the Holy Spirit, are vital to Christians everywhere. His boldness in proclaiming the truths of the New Covenant was not only revolutionary, but caused him to live in constant threat of death.

So many powerful books have been written on topics like prayer, faith, love, how to study your Bible, a myriad of biographies and character studies, among countless other topics, but the study of topics like meekness and quietness is virtually unheard of. And yet, these are incredibly important in our Christian walk, especially in this day where we are constantly bombarded with the world promoting the exact opposite of those things. We are constantly distracted, and quick fame with fortune has become the ultimate goal in life for the majority of people today.
