Cover of Gary Chapman: The Dolly Sisters (ePUB)

The rags to riches story of identical twins Jenny and Rosie is set against the glittering backdrop of high society in America and Europe before the onset of the Second World War. They had a colourful life where nature’s duplicity enabled a highly successful career as dancers which made them ‘stars’. And yet, lurking behind their glamorous story of fame, fortune, mistaken identity, millionaires, love and sisterly devotion – that made them legends – is another of rivalry, duplicity and tragedy.

芮贤海 & Xianhai Rui: Tao – God’s Words

作者看到现今教会受到犹太教的文化（摩西律法）、希腊文化（哲学）、以及基督教文化（爱），等等类型的文化冲击、取代和混淆，导致基督的信仰被蒙蔽。为了一次交付圣徒的真道，还基督信仰的真面目，必须摒弃所有文化，进入生命之道里面。希望借着本书给所有的传道人一个提示，将生命之道传给信徒；更希望所有的同道们，明白道是活的、生命是活的、道是通的、道是终极真理。只有我们明白何谓道，才能在真道上同归于一，将来一同得 …

芮贤海 & Xianhai Rui: Life

笔者为什么要写这本书呢？是看到普世教会的混乱，互相攻击，异端邪道泛滥。是应验主再来前的兆头，主耶稣告诉我们：那时，若有人对你们说：‘基督在这里，’或说：‘基督在那里，’你们不要信。因为假基督、假先知，将要起来，显大神迹、大奇事。倘若能行，连选民也就迷惑了。看哪！我预先告诉你们了。若有人对你们说：‘看哪！基督在旷野里，’你们不要出去；或说：‘看哪！基督在内屋中，’你们不要信。太二十四23－26。 …
