AM writing this on my sixty-fifth birthday anniversary, having spent forty-four years in the active work of the ministry. I am presenting to the reading public my eighteenth book. The subject treated is today agitating the whole religious world. Among genuine Christian men and women everywhere there is a growing dissatisfaction with present conditions, and a decided trend toward a closer spiritual fellowship and Bible oneness. Leading men of God are discarding controversial and technical theological questions that have separated the people of God for centuries and retarded the great task of the church in its mission to evangelize the world. Many are rising above the narrow denominational walls that have held them apart, and the Spirit of God is effecting a warmer Christian love and a closer bond of union.

Observation and contact have fully convinced me that the spirit of reformation is working among genuine Christians everywhere. The outstanding question is: What is the true basis of oneness for ALL God’s people? What is the Bible standard of this unity? How can it be attained? In this book I have endeavored to answer clearly these questions. With a deep sense of gratitude to God I humbly acknowledge his presence and direction, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the preparation of this volume.

This book sets forth the Bible doctrines in a definite, uncompromising manner. But instead of presenting a theoretical, idealistic, picture-book, and blue-print church in outline, I have endeavored to present the truth in a reasonable, practical way, and to deal with the question down here on earth where we live and function. In this respect you will find the contents just a little different from any work that has been published on the subject.

At the time of D. S. Warner’s death, in 1895, he had been engaged in writing a book entitled, The Cleansing of the Sanctuary. His sudden departure left the work far from complete. Feeling the hand of the Lord upon me to complete the same, I added 340 pages to the 200 he had written. That work had a large sale and accomplished much good.

Later I wrote The Christian Church–Its Rise and Progress. This book was published in 1912 and has been on the market exactly twenty-five years. Copies will be found in every nation around the world. The entire edition being sold, I felt clearly led of the Lord to write the present work and bring it strictly up-to-date. This is not a mere revision of some former book, but as a whole, its matter is practically new. It is exactly what the title expresses. I am confident that it clearly and reasonably presents the New Testament church, spiritual and practical.

I humbly ask you to peruse its contents with unprejudiced mind, and may the gracious Lord lead us all into the clear light of his blessed and eternal truth.

Your servant and brother in Christ,

HERBERT MCCLELLAN RIGGLE

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
