The Blumhardts, father and son, two witnesses to the power of the Holy Spirit, heralds of the breaking in of God's kingdom here on earth. And almost inseparable today, so completely did the son take up his famous father's mantle and absorb his vision.

But God marches forward in history, and whoever stands still is in danger of losing God. Here the son, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, writes as nowhere else about his father, Johann Christoph Blumhardt, clarifying the unity and continuity in their thought, but also his own painful though necessary points of departure. In particular, he takes a critical look at the role of faith healing, exorcism, and spiritual warfare in "The Awakening" that thrust his father into the limelight, as well as his father's reluctance to step beyond the walls of the Christianity he inherited.

God wants to renew the whole world, to pour out his Spirit on humankind again, and around the world Christians are praying for renewal and revival. Are we standing in the way? Blumhardt calls out obstacles or "false crutches" that he believes thwarted the movement of the Spirit in his father's time and his own, all of which are still with us today: a focus on piety and personal salvation, misconceptions about mission and evangelism, and the institutional church with its human structures, dogmas, and traditions. If the religion of our churches is too small for God, are we ready to step outside and live in accordance with his great future?

Beautiful Non-Glass Frame
Color: Bronze, Size: 12x16
Love this frame!! I'm so in love with the new type of frame backing this one had! I hate those frames that have those tiny thin metal tabs that stick out where you have to bend up/down to remove backing but not this one! It has these really easy to use metal springs that you push down & turn & it easy pops out! Wish frames all came w actual glass! I thought this one had glass but was wrong, it has the thin plexiglass type covering where you remove the clear stickers from front/back. It will work but because I have it used in a bathroom, I will need to get a glass replacement eventually. Love the gold color, it's a really pretty gold, not overly yellow. Overall, I think its a nice frame & such a great value.

Gorgeous Distressed Bronze Frame, Easy to Hang
Color: Bronze, Size: 18x24, Color: Bronze, Size: 18x24
This bronze frame looks really, really good—honestly, it passes for real bronze at a glance. It has a nice distressed finish that gives it some character without overdoing it. It’s also surprisingly lightweight, which makes it much easier to hang on the wall. The overall build feels solid, and I don’t see any issues with it coming apart or feeling cheap. I especially like the back—everything is well thought out, from the sawtooth hangers to the tabs that make it easy to open and insert your print. I didn’t have my print yet to put in it, or I would’ve included a photo of it fully set up, but I added some pictures to show the detail and the back hardware. Great-looking frame, well made, and easy to work with. Definitely happy with it.

Nice Frames
Color: Black, Size: 8x10
I purchased two of these frames in black. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice they are given the price was so low. I removed the film on both sides of the plexiglass as instructed and it was crystal clear. These are not high quality frames if that's what you are looking for.....real wood or glass. However, they are awesome for the price and what I needed them for. I would purchase them again.
