Eddie L. Hyatt Knihy

Along with the promised world-wide outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:17), Jesus and the Biblical writers warn of a time of great deception at the end of the age. In this volume, Dr. Eddie Hyatt shows how this deception is already at work today in prophetic and revival movments. He also provides tools for recognizing and defeating these emissaries of Satan who come, not in red suits carring pitchforks, but disguised as "angels of light."

In 1857, four years before the outbreak of the Civil War, a great prayer revival swept unexpectedly across America. As if drawn by an invisible force, multitudes daily gathered in churches, halls, fire stations and auditoriums to pour out their hearts to God. This prayer revival, which was America's Third Great Awakening, was timely, for the nation would soon pass through her darkest hour and would need the Divine assistance to survive. This great prayer revival released the spiritual and moral resources necessary to end slavery and save the nation from total ruin.

In this Second Edition of Pilgrims and Patriots, Dr. Eddie Hyatt ells the forgotten story of the radical Christians who laid the intellectual and moral foundations of the American republic. He shows clearly that they were not from the established churches of Europe. Instead, they were Radical Reformers who sought a return to the Christianity of the New Testament, and who envisioned a nation founded on faith and freedom. Hyatt shows the vital role of prayer in the founding of the nation, demonstrated by the numerous calls for prayer issued by the Continental Congress and by the daily prayers of the Revolutionary Army. He also shows the impact of the Great Awakening on the founding of the nation. In short, Hyatt shows that it was devout Christians, those whom the ACLU and other modern, liberal groups would like to silence, who were, in fact, the most influential in bringing forth the United States of America.

Was America founded as a Christian nation? In this small book Dr. Eddie Hyatt clearly demonstrates that although America was not founded as a theocracy, the Founders counted on Christianity to provide the moral and intellectual underpinnings for its stability and prosperity. He presents the five founding principles--pillars--on which the nation was founded. These are the principles that made America great.

No one has been more maligned and misunderstood than Paul in regards to his views about women. In his latest book, Dr. Eddie Hyatt shows that Paul treated women with respect and he highlights the numerous positive relationships Paul had with women as friends, coworkers and even a spiritual mother. Hyatt also provides a hermeneutical approach to the difficult passages in Paul that demonstrate that Paul did not in any way restrict or limit the role of women in the church or home.

1726 was a defining year for America. 1776 would never have happened apart from 1726. The Great Awakening that began that year transformed Colonial America and laid the spiritual, moral, and philosophical foundations for the beginning of a great new nation. It also unleashed the anti-slavery sentiments and moral outrage that eventually brought about slavery’s demise in America. The late Harvard professor, Perry Miller, was correct in saying, “The Declaration of Independence of 1776 was a direct result of the preaching of the evangelists of the Great Awakening.” The Great Awakening of which he speaks began in 1726. This is the story of America that has been censured from modern textbooks. It is the story of the faith and spiritual vision of those who brought this nation into existence.

Martin Luther single-handedly changed the course of church and world history. In honor of the 500-year anniversary of his epic act of nailing 95 Theses to the Wittenberg Church door, Dr. Eddie Hyatt presents this small but unique overview of Luther's life that highlights Luther's belief in the supernatural power of God to heal and perform miracles. He also devotes a chapter showing how Luther dealt with false miracles and pseudo prophets that he encountered. Hyatt says, "I have been deeply stirred afresh as I have researched and written about Luther's life, his struggles, his incredible boldness in the face of overwhelming odds, his victories, and his mistakes. My own life and ministry were changed about seventeen years ago when I read Luther's early writings for the first time in which he boldly and concisely laid out the need for reform and challenged the powers-that-be in both the Church and Empire.
