Among the seven churches addressed by Jesus in the book of Revelation, the congregation of Smyrna suffered the worst. This dark and perilous city was the backdrop of intense suffering by the believers in the Early Church. But Jesus was well aware of their faithful works, even in the midst of intense persecution.

In the series, Take a Tour With Rick: Smyrna, Rick Renner walks you through the expansive archaeological sites of ancient Smyrna, a city now known as Izmir, which sits on Turkey’s Aegean coast. Stroll along the Roman Road, the Seaside Port, and the Meles River. Discover the ancient agora, the theater and stadium of Smyrna, and Mount Pagos. There’s so much to see and even more to learn about in this notable city.

In the book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus Christ dramatically revealed Himself to the exiled apostle John. He had much to say concerning the spiritual condition of the seven most influential churches of the day and gave messages to the pastors of each of those congregations. In Rick Renner’s comprehensive study of the early New Testament Church Age, he paints a detailed picture that includes the rich historical backdrop of the times and the culture the Early Church lived in. The significance of Christ’s letters to these seven churches cannot be understated as they address the issues these churches were facing and also speak prophetically to universal problems that churches of all ages still face today. Understanding these seven messages is vital in recognizing where the modern-day Church is now and where the Lord intends for her to be in the days ahead.

In this bundle, you will receive the following books:

• A Light in Darkness, Volume 1
• No Room for Compromise, Volume 2

Hurricanes consist of multiple belts of rain and wind that pound the earth in sequence with pauses between each violent phase. When the eye of the storm arrives, the sky may appear bright and clear, giving the illusion that the storm has passed. But the truth is, the fiercest impact of the storm is still approaching. Those who don’t know how to read the signs and patterns of a storm may mistakenly emerge from their place of safety only to face unprotected the full velocity of the storms brutal fury.

In No Room for Compromise: Christ’s Message to Today’s Church, Rick Renner sets forth his most prophetic book to date. With a sobering charge to Christian leadership to stand up for faith in Christ — regardless of the price required to proclaim it in its purest form — Renner’s message is a clarion call: Winds of opposition against the Church are gathering. As pagan influences continue to increase in these last days, Christianity will once again become completely out of sync with the times with its message that Christ alone is the way to the Father.

The Bible is clear that at the end of the age, the spiritual hurricane of persecution that struck the Early Church will once again slam against society with devastating consequences. God has always had His remnant who would not bow to external pressures. In these final hours of the Church Age, He will have a remnant again. Will you be among them?

More on this book:

• In-depth scriptural teaching that makes the New Testament come alive.
• Nearly 400 images — including over 100 shot on location — classic artwork, artifacts, illustrations, and maps.
• A comprehensive, completely indexed reference book.

No Room For Compromise: Jesus’ Message to Today’s Church is Volume Two of the Light in Darkness series. It presents an engaging exploration of the pagan culture of the First Century Church, with an emphasis on the city of Pergamum. Against this historical backdrop, this book highlights Jesus’ message to the church of Pergamum when He appeared in a vision during the apostle Johns imprisonment on Patmos. With superb photographs, many of which were shot on location in Turkey, Renner guides readers through a fascinating, detailed explanation of Jesus’ message to the Pergamene church as he prophetically declares the critical significance of this message to the Church in these last days before Jesus returns. Renner also gives the reader a larger context within which to frame the pivotal moment when Jesus appeared to John on that isolated island, taking the reader through a revealing overview of the first Three Centuries AD in which the infant Church grew amidst much opposition within a pagan world and demonstrated that darkness can never overcome the light, life, and power that the truth of Jesus Christ offers all those who believe.

Holy Fear is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book.

In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful spiritual life. If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well, all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.

In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:

• Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
• Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
• Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
• Building an eternal legacy
• Confidence, fearlessness, and security
• Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed

The apostle Paul told us to “rejoice always.” But what does that really mean? Is it even possible to rejoice always? Many people rejoice when they’re happy — when things are going well — but when things go wrong, that’s when it gets a little harder to find that place of joy. Paul was someone who encountered many difficult situations in his life: he was beaten, he was left for dead, and he spent three days and nights “in the deep.” How did he get through that?

In this four-part series, Denise explores the many reasons we as Christians have to rejoice, the life-changing effects of joy, and how to access and activate the power of God’s joy inside us.

The four lessons in this study, REJOICE! — How To Choose Joy Even in Hard Times, will focus on the following topics:

• Rejoice Always! — No Matter What
• The Joy Is in You To Discover
• ‘Joy — It’s Mine!’
