Descubre por qué miles de creyentes a lo largo de los siglos han encontrado transformación a través de esta joya de la literatura cristiana. Thomas Watson, con su incomparable sabiduría pastoral, nos desafía con una verdad revolucionaria: el conocimiento sin acción es como una lámpara sin aceite.

Bruce and his family have gathered a clan of battle-hardened survivors and awesome military-grade weaponry…and now the time has come to put the fear of God in the zombies that have destroyed civilization as we know it. But these aren’t the zombies you’re expecting. They’re smart…. They’re fast.... They can heal.... And they can even reproduce.

Bruce had promised to keep his family safe. Now, in spite of the best armament in the world, battle-hardened allies, and his own brilliant strategy, his greatest love is killed…and it pushes Bruce over the edge. He goes on a killing rampage, destroying blues and marauders alike. The odds are impossible. The Infected are smart and fast. They can heal. They can even reproduce. But even the undead cannot hope to stand up to a man so filled with rage he has become a force of nature.

In a world that will not tolerate the mention of sin, and in churches where it has been defined only in generic, sociological terms, one could make a good case could that repentance is one of the least used words in the English language today. Repentance is essential to true Christianity - Jesus Christ himself said that if we do not repent, we will perish - and there are few better guides that have existed in this or any other area of spiritual experience than Thomas Watson.

A Body of Divinity, considered a classic among 17th-century Puritan works, contains a series of sermons on the Westminster Catechism, a central catechism in English-speaking Calvinist churches. Watson details several of the questions and answers from the Catechism.

Thomas Watson was one of the most famous Puritan preachers in history, and his 17th-century writings are still read across the world today. A highly influential example of Puritan writing, The Great Gain of Godliness is Watson's study of Malachi 3:16-18. British Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon bemoaned the fact that he couldn't find a copy of The Great Gain of Godliness.

The Blue Plague came roaring out of the Congo and into the United States - and it can’t be stopped. The Infected become violently insane and impossibly strong. They’re not zombies - no, that would be too easy - they’re something much worse. The Infected are violent and unstoppable, but they can think. They can heal from most wounds. And worst of all - they can reproduce.

Many today believe that the Christian life is rather easy to both obtain and live. But the Puritans saw it as warfare, as wrestling, as "holy violence" to use their term. The Apostle Paul spoke of beating his own body into subjection. And this holy violence is to be brought not only against one's self, but against Satan, the world, and heaven too. And in this confrontation, we must use the weapons God has given us: reading the Word, hearing the Word, prayer, meditation, self-examination, and the due observance of the Lord's Day.

Based on Philippians 4:11, I have learned, in whatever state I am therewith to be content, Watson considers the great dishonor done to almighty God by the sin of discontent. The doctrine of Christian contentment is clearly illustrated and profitably applied. The special cases where, through changes in providences, discontentment most commonly arises are examined and preservatives are applied to the soul.

Five thousand battle-hardened survivors, armed with America’s most awesome weaponry, must destroy millions of zombies so the rebuilding can begin! Bruce has saved thousands and forged them into an awesome fighting force. Now they must destroy forty million smart, fast, undead maniacs if they hope to save the world. The human gangs that preyed on the survivors of the apocalypse have been defeated and scattered; they live in fear of Bruce’s clan and their overwhelming weaponry. Now it’s time to begin the long, violent process of taking back the country, one dead zombie at a time.

All Things for Good by Thomas Watson provides the biblical answer to the contemporary question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Thomas Watson, the 17th-century minister of St. Stephen's Walbrook, believed he faced two great difficulties in his pastoral ministry. The first was making the unbeliever sad in the recognition of his need of God's grace. The second was making the believer joyful in response to God's grace.

Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686) was an English Puritan preacher and author who served as vicar of St. Stephen's Walbrook. In The Ten Commandments he discusses the rule of obedience as the moral law, summarised in the 10 commandments. The Godly Man's Picture portrays the Biblical characteristics of a godly man, referring to verses from the Psalms or Song of Songs. All Things For Good is a rigorous exposition of Romans 8:28.

The Blues are rapidly reproducing, growing more intelligent and lethal each day. With hundreds of millions still covering the earth, the future of humankind looks bleak. Yet Bruce and his Clan refuse to die without a fight to the bitter end. Meanwhile, the remnants of the US government are experimenting on Blues, teaching them how to fire weapons. It’s up to Bruce and his team to stop this atrocity before they lose the only advantage they have over the Blues. They have no idea that what they find will change the course of the human race forever.

The ultimate battle for humanity and freedom begins—and ends—right here. On one side: The ravenous, unending, and undead hordes of the Infected—insanely fast blue zombies who can think, heal, and even reproduce. On the other: The vicious, hyper-violent, and desperate remains of the US Government, obsessed with destruction of the real America. Only Bruce and his brave clan of battle-hardened warriors will stand and fight for the future. But there is hope. Bruce and his clan have gathered an awesome array of weaponry on the ground and in the air.

Bruce and Mike finally made it home. But the battle for the future has just begun. The Louisiana farm that Bruce and his allies had built to survive the end of the world was everything they could have hoped for — but no one had planned for the endless horde of fast, smart, and ravenous blue zombies who could think, heal, and even reproduce. Now, as they gather an armory of military weaponry from abandoned outposts all across the countryside, Bruce and his growing clan of survivors realize the truth — their compound can be the beginning of a new and rebuilt world.

Every one of the Ten Commandments is relevant today. Some think of these commandments as the Law of Moses, now replaced by God's grace and mercy, but a closer look reveals that we can't willfully break a single one of the commandments and live. Every one of the commandments wholeheartedly obeyed will produce fruit of righteousness, peace, and spiritual prosperity. Society says "do whatever you want", but a careful study and application of this set of "life principles" will provide boundless fruit for the righteous.
