Product Description
Populist Saints warmly tells the story of B. T. and Ellen Roberts’s lives, recounting their critique of powerful elites and illuminating the "crisis of Methodism" that gave rise to the Free Methodist Church. Benjamin Titus Roberts (1823–1893), best known for founding the Free Methodist Church, was also an outspoken voice for such reform causes as the abolition of slavery, women in ministry, and farmers’ rights — so much so that he played a role in the rise of the Populist Movement. Ellen Stowe Roberts (1825–1908), scion of a prominent Methodist family, shared her husband’s passion for holiness, for speaking good news to the poor, and for urban ministry.

Howard Snyder’s detailed biography views key nineteenth-century currents and events through the lives of these two extraordinary figures, who taught a "holy populism" of simplicity, justice for the common people, and radical discipleship. ... Read more

Product Description
This book takes us beyond the usual writings about religious ministry. It invites us iinto closed communities, some more closed than others, and allows us to observe the day-to-day crisis ministries in which the chaplains are engaged.

Free Methodist and Other Missions in Zimbabwe
Tillman Houser is a great linguist driven by a heart for the people among whom he ministered for over 30 years in Zimbabwe.In 2001 I returned to Zimbabwe with Tillman to visit all the places he had worked.Everywhere we went we found vibrant churches among the Hlengwe people with whom he had predominently worked.It is an inspiring story.Let Me Tell You...A Memoir

Incidentally, in 2001 when we were there I saw this tree, high up alone on a rocky mountain.I assume it is still here.It has long been an inspiration to my uncle Tillman for how his faith must be grounded in Jesus. ... Read more
