I would love to share my faith, but I don't know what to say." Most Christians don't know how to talk about Jesus.

But what if there was a simple, normalway to introduce people to Jesus, without sounding like you're selling something? This book explores the message of ...

A Primer on Biblical Healing The transformational healing ministry of Jesus stands in stark contrast to what many Christians have come to believe today: that God doesn't always heal sickness, that healing is primarily attained through modern medicine, that God cares about spiritual health more than physical health. In Divine Healing, Andrew Murray examines some of the mysteries of divine healing: God's desire to redeem His people in body a...

Brave the wild adventure of life with God. Life is full of unknowns. It's natural to want answers, explanations, and clear directions along the way. But for the Christ-follower, this longing for clarity is met with a mysterious invitation: to trust, to surrender, to lay down one's life. After his baptism, Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, where he was tempted, where his identity as "God's beloved son" was solidified, and where he drew...

40 Days on the Ancient Path Perhaps today more than ever, people are hungry for guidance. Fragmented by constant hurry, perplexed by opposing ideologies, and deafened by competing voices, the modern soul longs for wisdom - a compass for truth through the chaos and a pattern by which to build a meaningful life. But finding a guide whose legacy is marked by truth and integrity can seem more impossible today than ever before. In Letters fro...

A Clear Path to Intuitive Prayer To all for whom prayer seems a mystery, who are aware of its importance, but unsure of the proper posture and method, for those who nevertheless ache for an authentic connection to the Living God, and can offer nothing more than their sincere longing to commune with Jesus - this short but profound work is a simple path leading directly to His feet. Madame Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) was a French Mystic, impris...

Has religion, the church, or Christianity become convoluted? confusing? disappointing? We live in a time where church attendance is declining, where faith has become so deeply intertwined with politics, ideologies, theologies and personal opinions that it's seemingly impossible to find Truth. In all of this, we have lost sight of the center of it all-that is, the utterly enchanting person of Jesus Christ. In G.K. Chesterton's Everlasting M...

A Winsome Defence of the Christian Faith Our modern world - wide awake to its own progress and virtues - disdains the antiquated notions of Christianity. Wouldn't humankind be much improved by the extinction of this unsightly ideology? This book is a winsome response that is delightfully sharp-witted and disarmingly sincere. In Orthodoxy, masterful thinker, literary critic, and lay theologian, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1935), pairs whimsey ...

Real Joy for Disenchanted Christians If they are honest with themselves, many Christians would describe their discipleship experience as "disappointing." Despite their genuine devotion and faithful discipline, they find themselves hungering and thirsting for more. It is to these disenchanted pilgrims that this book was written. Despite its seemingly trite title, this classic work, endorsed by the renowned Rev. Andrew Murray, offers robu...

The great lack of our religion is, we do not know God." There is only one way to know God, and that is to spend time with God. In this age of instant gratification, quick access to information, and high speed everything, connecting with God is difficult because the act of waiting has become obsolete. If the answer is knowing God, if He is indeed "the one great remedy", then learning to wait is vital. Andrew Murray's Waiting on God contains...

What a man is must be shown to be more important than what he does." In the Church today, there is a great emphasis on results, influence, impact, words, and actions. However, these outward manifestations of righteousness are meant to be the product of a heart deeply rooted in the love of Jesus Christ. In this prescient and wisdom-rich book, The Root of the Righteous, A.W. Tozer urges believers to fix their gaze-not on visible fruit-but o...

Be swept into the presence of God. It is not enough for the Christ-follower to hold a set of beliefs about Jesus, to cling tightly to doctrine, or interpretation, or knowledge. The transformative power of the Gospel is accessed through faith in Jesus, through union with God, and through a real experience of His love and nearness. George MacDonald's Unspoken Sermons are a series of written (but never publicly preached) sermons that guide ...

Are you willing to surrender yourselves absolutely into His hands?" Absolute surrender is the goal of the faithful Christ follower-to live a life grafted into the very heart of God-but this pursuit is entirely counterintuitive to human nature and the innate longing for absolute control. Therefore, the journey towards surrender is often marked by struggle, shortcomings, and failure. What is the secret, then, to true surrender? In Absolute ...

When I first opened De Incarnatione, I soon discovered... that I was reading a masterpiece." -C.S. Lewis The world scoffs at the idea of Jesus' incarnation. Yet, the Christian faith hinges on this very notion-God, unwilling to be a bystander, fully entering into the human experience to provide the ultimate victory over sin and death. Athanasuis' On The Incarnation brings simple clarity to the difficult topic of Jesus' incarnation, affirmin...

We do more of everything else than of praying." In the Church today, there is a growing unspoken belief that God is silent, that efforts to communicate with him are contrived, naive and-perhaps most of all-futile. In this collection of his early books, E. M. Bounds speaks to the enduring power of prayer-as the pathway to personal connection with God, as the means to experience abundance, and as the very instrument that is capable of chang...

Come, my soul, sit at Jesus's feet and learn of him all this day." Our hearts long for true connection with God-to know Him, to be known by Him, and to be transformed by this knowing. Whether we recognize it or not, we are forever searching for moments of intimacy, of communion with Jesus. In our busy, cluttered world, it's far too easy to ignore these longings, to forget that the deepest desires of our hearts are met in the person of Jes...

Oh, if you would only believe God! What would happen?" Miracles were central to the ministry of Jesus and the beginnings of the early church. Yet, for many Christians today, the outrageous provision and promises of God feel like a thing of the past. Ever Increasing Faith is a collection of Smith Wigglesworth's sermons that demonstrate all that is possible through belief, with descriptive and inspiring firsthand accounts of healings, delive...

Throughout Scripture, God promises the impossible to those who believe. For many Christians, the promises of God have lost their power. Deemed as irrelevant or simply misunderstood, God's promises-of triumph, abundance, redemption, and countless blessings-are often ignored, forgotten, and seemingly unfulfilled. However, for Charles H. Spurgeon, God's promises were timeless. In fact, they seemed to grow in power and hope over the course of...
