Birth Of A Reformation

Life And Labors Of

D. S. Warner

Andrew L. Byers

Birth of A Reformation, Life And Labors Of D. S. Warner is both a biography of the life of Daniel Sidney Warner and the story of the beginnings of the Church of God Reformation Movement. Excerpts from D. S. Warner's personal journals reveal his spiritual journey from his conversion through the development of his understanding of the prophetic time in which he lived and ministered. This book also chronicles the beginnings of The Gospel Trumpet and the evangelistic travels of Brother Warner.

This book is essential reading for all who claim the heritage of the Church of God and for all who seek to understand the nature of salvation, the meaning of holiness and the reality of the body of Christ, the church of the Living God.

D. S. Warner

Bible Proofs of the Second Work of Grace is the keynote work written by D. S. Warner and published in 1880. The Church of God Reformation Movement dates its beginning from the publication of this book even though Brother Warner did not "come out of Babylon" until 1881. Chapters 24, 25, 26 (also reprinted by Brother Byers in Birth of a Reformation) are the significant chapters that relate to the prophetic view of the church and the Movement's interpretation of the Book of Revelation.

The writing is typical of the period and the type of person Brother Warner was. He was a poet and an evangelist who wrote articles and published a holiness paper. He was not a theologian and a scholar.

Highways and Hedges

Grace G. Henry

Highways and Hedges is the biography of Etta Faith Stewart (1878 - 1958) who served God as a missionary in India and Cuba. Born in Linton, Iowa, Faith Stewart was called to missionary work at the age of 16. In her 21st year while on a trip to Colorado for her health, Faith fell deathly ill and was ministered to by some humble saints of the church of God. Miraculously, she was healed. She took a stand with the church of God on the teachings of holiness of life and the Biblical church of God for which she was disowned by her own father.

Living Faith

Makes God Real

E. Faith Stewart

Living Faith Makes God Real was written by Sister Faith Stewart to bear testimony to God's willingness to do whatever must be done to promote the preaching of the Gospel of full-salvation. Sister Stewart records many miraculous events and healings that happened in response to prayer. Several incidents of healings God performed on Sister Stewart are also included.

Parallel Lectures on the Parables of the Kingdom and the Seven Churches of Asia

Emerson Wilson

Parallel Lectures is a major work defining the Seventh Seal message. This book is a transcription of messages preached by Emerson Wilson during the 1960 camp meeting held at God's Acres, Newark, Ohio.

This work is a practical, non-theoretical explanation of the complementary meanings of the seven parables of Christ in the Gospel of Matthew and the Letters to the Seven Churches of Asia in the Book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3.

J. F. Lawson

P. D. Turnbow

D. W. Rogers

This work is a revision of one of the first major works of what is known as the Seventh Seal. While based largely on the works of D. S. Warner and F. G. Smith, Lawson, Turnbow, and Rogers see an entire application of the Book of Revelation that was unknown to the older ministry of the Church of God. It is not considered to be a "new message" but more understanding of the same message preached by the Church of God.

Astute readers will recognize the influence of F. G. Smith's Prophetic Lectures on Daniel and Revelation in much of this work. At times the text is difficult to follow as the authors were not trained in academic writing, but a careful perusal of their message is worth the effort.

Emerson Wilson

The Sounding of the Seven Trumpets is a second major work concerning the Seventh Seal message. This book is a very literal transcription of messages preached by Emerson Wilson at a campmeeting held at God's Acres, Newark, Ohio sometime in the 1960s.

Like Parallel Lectures (above), this is a practical, non-theoretical explanation of the seven trumpets of the Book of Revelation. The two books together comprise a mature interpretation of what has been called the "Seventh Seal" message.
