{"product_id":"heaven-taken-by-storm","title":"Heaven Taken By Storm","description":"Building on Jesus’s words that “the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matt. 11:12),\u003cem\u003eHeaven Taken by Storm\u003c\/em\u003e reminds us that Christians are spiritual warriors and the kingdom advances through warfare. As Watson puts it, “Our life is military. Christ is our Captain, the gospel is the banner, the graces are our spiritual artillery, and heaven is only taken in a forcible way.” In his typically heart-searching style, replete with practical illustrations and gripping remarks, Watson describes how the Christian is to take the kingdom of heaven by holy violence through the reading and exposition of Scripture, prayer, meditation, self-examination, conversation, and the sanctification of the Lord’s Day. Moreover, he poignantly calls the believer to be vigilant against the flesh, Satan, and the world. Soldiers of Christ will find this a practical handbook on Christian living.\r\\n\r\\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\\n\u003col\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eTaking the Kingdom of Heaven by Holy Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe Christian Offering Violence to Himself\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by the Reading of the Word\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by the Hearing of the Word\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by Meditation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by Self-Examination\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by Sanctifying the Lord’s Day\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eOffering Violence by Holy Conversation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe Christian Offering Violence to Satan\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe Christian Offering Violence to the World\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eThe Christian Offering Violence to Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eArrows of Reproof to Those Not Offering Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eExamining Whether We Are Offering Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eObjections against Offering Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eMotives for Exhorting All Christians to Offer Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eTake Heed of Hindrances to Offering Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eDirections on How to Promote Offering Violence\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n \t\u003cli\u003eConclusion: What Shall We Do?\u003c\/li\u003e\r\\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\\n \r\\n\r\\nAppendix 1: The Happiness of Drawing Near to God\r\\n\r\\nAppendix 2: How We May Read the Scriptures with Most Spiritual Profit\r\\n\r\\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\\n\r\\n\u003cstrong\u003eThomas Watson\u003c\/strong\u003e (ca. 1620–1686) graduated from Cambridge University and became one of the leading Puritan minsters of London.\r\\n\r\\n\u003cstrong\u003eEndors\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Mound Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55011080929660,"sku":"9781601786722","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/3866\/3995\/files\/9781601786722.jpg?v=1741633046","url":"https:\/\/www.evangelicalbooks.com\/products\/heaven-taken-by-storm","provider":"Evangelical Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
