John D. Martin. At the time of the Reformation, there was a clear line of demarcation between the Anabaptists and the mainline Reformers such as Luther and Calvin. Not only did their lifestyles differ, but so did their views of salvation, God, and the world.

Leonard Verduin. Practically all Christians have heard about the Reformers. But few have heard about their "stepchildren"—the groups of Christians, like the Anabaptists, who sprung up during the Reformation and were committed to radical discipleship. The Reformers tried to silence these "stepchildren"—but they lived on. Verduin devotes a chapter to each aspect of Anabaptist faith and life that were suggested by the derisive names their opponents gave them.

Simon Schrock. D. L. Moody once said, “I never knew God to use a discouraged person.” Yet, virtually all Christians face discouragement at various times. And when discouragement sets in, it does affect our walk with God and our ability to minister to others effectively. The message of this book is: If you’re feeling discouraged, don’t throw in the towel. Although Satan is out to ruin and discourage you, God has something better in mind for you. This book was written both to give you encouragement and to supply you with principles to defeat discouragement when it comes.

Peter wrote, “Do not let your adornment be outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart.” But just how literally did the early Christians take that apostolic commandment? Bercot quotes extensively from Scripture and the early Christian writings to answer that question. A challenging message!

What the Early Christians Believed About Separation from the World. D. Bercot. The Bible exhorts us: “Adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” So unless we want to be an enemy of God, we need to live a life of separation from the world. This is how Christians lived when the church was still young.

In this message, Bercot pinpoints five areas where the early Christians lived differently from the world around them:

● Material riches and job employment
● Entertainment
● Participation in government
● Modesty and dress
● Purity and marital fidelity
