Principles of Nonresistance Held By the Mennonite Church By John Horsch - Republished by Eastern Mennonite Publications. A study of the historic position of the Mennonite Church on this biblical doctrine. First published in 1927 and reprinted a number of times. We are currently seeing in Anabaptist Mennonite circles an ever increasing confusion regarding this doctrine of nonresistnace on one hand and political; pacifism on the other hand This booklet reminds us that nonresistance is not merely a position we take regarding war but a principle expressed in daily life. It applies just as much today as it did when our Lord Jesus Christ walked among men! BookNook The Child's Book of the Sabbath by Horace Hooker - Published 1835 Note by the Author: “It has been the design of the author in the following pages to employ such language and modes of illustration as shall render the subject not only intelligible but interesting to the young. At the same time he has kept in view the persons of more advanced age, and he indulges the hope that what he has written may not be unprofitable to readers of this class.” Silent Times - A Help to Reading the Bible Into Life By J.R.Miller - Published 1886 From the Preface: "The point at which many Christians fail in the using of divine truths is the point at which doctrine should be transmuted into life. They know and honour the Bible as the Word of God, and sincerely wish to conform their lives to its inspired teachings, but have difficulty in applying them to the actual experiences of daily life. This book is offered as a humble help in this direction." * The Historical and Biblical Position of the Mennonite Church on Attire. J. C.
