Basically, all the churches accept that Jesus will come the second time. But, distinctively from the church creeds (the wine of Babylon), the proclamation of the soon return of Jesus was for William Miller and his fellow workers a proclamation of time. This is the true platform of the original advent message, and this is what separated the Adventists from the other churches, making them a peculiar people. Although this book was written after the disappointment of 1844 and no additional light on the issue of time came immediately after that year, it is quite obvious that its author was writing from the same platform as those who preached the message in the beginning. He doesn't present any future prophetic period to be fulfilled, and he does not touch the biblical chronology, but he presents the signs of the times, thus showing that the Second Advent is very near. Especially his insight into the deception of spiritual manifestations which started with the rappings in the house of the Fox sisters is truly amazing. Though he may have expected the culmination of these miraculous signs and wonders to consume in his lifetime, he was not wrong at all in identifying them as a sign of the end. One fruit of these manifestations is the Revised version of the Bible (RV) and the critical text in Greek of the New Testament, both published in the year of James White's death (1881). Because both Westcott and Hort were involved in this phenomenon, where people were receiving information from the other realm. What kind of information regarding the Bible was passed from these deceiving spirits is revealed plainly in this book. Those who adopted these perversions of the Word of God not only stepped out from the platform of the true advent message, they also forsook its very foundational Rock.

Established in 1800, edinoverie (translated as "unity in faith") was intended to draw back those who had broken with the Russian Orthodox Church over ritual reforms in the 17th century. Called Old Believers, they had been persecuted as heretics. In time, the Russian state began tolerating Old Believers in order to lure them out of hiding and make use of their financial resources as a means of controlling and developing Russia's vast and heterogeneous empire. However, the Russian Empire was also an Orthodox state, and conversion from Orthodoxy constituted a criminal act. So, which was better for ensuring the stability of the Russian Empire: managing heterogeneity through religious toleration, or enforcing homogeneity through missionary campaigns? Edinoverie remained contested and controversial throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, as it was distrusted by both the Orthodox Church and the Old Believers themselves. The state reinforced this ambivalence, using edinoverie as a means by which to monitor Old Believer communities and employing it as a carrot to the stick of prison, exile, and the deprivation of rights. In Unity in Faith?, James White's study of edinoverie offers an unparalleled perspective of the complex triangular relationship between the state, the Orthodox Church, and religious minorities in imperial Russia.

Private Johnny Zewiski stands above a polluted river, his hands tied behind his back. It's a cold afternoon in war-torn Warsaw, Poland. In front of him, beyond the river, smoldering ruins echo the sound of small arms fire. Behind him, a Nazi machine gun crew hastily assembles their weapon, anxious to finish the execution and get back to shelter. Ex-private, actually. Johnny had deserted his post and fled his Army unit under wartime circumstances, thereby sealing his fate, no matter who took the trouble to capture and put him front of a firing squad. He fled with honorable intentions, he thought, but the war didn't care about honor. His only friend, Jakub, another displaced Polish-American, stands next to him, kvetching about unrequited miracles. Johnny's journey, from his boyhood home in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Warsaw, is a crazy ride of miraculous encounters. It begins in Tunisia, then across the North Sea, through the heart of Nazi-occupied Poland, and winds up in the arms of the embattled Polish resistance who are desperately trying to defend their capital until the Allied armies can save them from the Nazi onslaught. He dreams of home while waiting for the bullets to fly; his mother and father who cried while their former homeland turned to rubble, his brothers who warned him not to go near the recruiting station and his girlfriend who followed him in his tortured dreams and begged him to come home. When the machine gun fires, Johnny's fate takes yet another turn and he begins a new journey that's just as dangerous and ill-conceived as the last. Published by WapshottPress.org
