Midnight’s Cry
by Robert C. HarrisRobert Harris provides an in-depth look at the problems with prophecy theories that teach a total at-once redemption of the church, whether it be the Rapture or Second Coming Only Teachings. Midnight's Cry is presented in three sections. Part I, "A More Sure Word of Prophecy," presents a thorough study of prophetic Scripture. This section ends with a preponderance of the evidence for Christ's Bridegroom Return. Also, Robert Harris stresses the necessity for teaching the need to look for the Day of Redemption, and preparing for this Bridegroom Return in the night of That Day before it dawns. In Part II, "The Doctrine," Robert Harris evaluates Calvin Theology, introducing and identifying the Father's Holy Commandment of the New Testament, which he stresses is a "faith commandment" of unparalleled importance. Part III, "Seven Timely Letters," reveals the intent of John's seven letters to the seven churches, and the seven divisions of today's end-time church. Harris also details the relationship of these letters to the Doctrine of Christ. Midnight's Cry enlightens readers to the problems with current end-time prophecy teachings through re-evaluation of sacred texts, and brings to light prophecy as it relates to current conditions.

A Midwife in Amish Country: Celebrating God's Gift of Life
by Kim Woodard OsterholzerKim Osterholzer, a midwife who's caught over 500 babies since 1993, ushers readers behind the doors of Amish homes as she recounts her lively, entertaining, and life-changing adventures learning the heart and art and craft of midwifery. In A Midwife in Amish Country, Kim chronicles the escapades of her nine-year apprenticeship grappling with the nuance and idiosyncrasies of homebirth as she tagged along after the woman who helped her birth her own babies at home. With drama and insight, she recounts the beauty and painstaking effort of those early years spent catching babies next to crackling woodstoves, by oil lamp and lantern light, and in farmhouses powered by windmills for running water and sporting outhouses for the unmentionables. She found herself catching babies born into leaky wading pools and through howling snow storms: huge babies, tiny babies, breech babies, and twin babies. Some births kept her from home for days on end, others she missed by heart-pounding seconds, yet every birth enthralled her, whether halting hemorrhages, sharing breath with tiny lungs, or bouncing through wild rides in ambulances. Too many times to count, Kim stumbled home feeling overwhelmed and inadequate, yet as she strained against her misgivings, self-doubts, and seemingly insurmountable challenges, those intimate, sacred moments transformed her as time after time she rocked back upon her heels to soak in the spellbinding magic of hearty cries filling the air–the cries of brand-new lives with newly expanding lungs, of hardy men with overflowing hearts, of life-bearing women with the reward of their labors filling their arms–a harmony of cries that mingled with Kim's own and that, together, rose heavenward from rumpled beds speckled and splattered with the sweat, tears, and blood of those births. The very beds of those conceptions became sacred spaces awash with love and joy and gratitude. She persevered, and her experiences became profoundly empowering as she unearthed the foundation and cornerstone of true midwifery–how to use her heart as well as her hands to serve, and to serve in the simplest of womanly ways---stroking, smoothing, wiping, tidying, nourishing, comforting, hearing, encouraging, validating, and witnessing. Slowly, steadily, Kim learned to play her part as midwife to the Amish–her part in a symphony of inimitable women–a single, piping strain among the melodies of those skilled, focused, strong, and harmonious–women unflagging in their passion to welcome new lives earth-side effectively and gently. And at last, tried and tested, Kim took her rightful place among them.
