Charles Haddon Spurgeon. Collected Works - LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS, LIFE IN CHRIST, EVENING BY EVENING, FAITH’S CHECKBOOK


Book Description

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was a reformed pastor who adhered to the 1689 Baptist Confession of faith. Spurgeon was a prolific writer and preacher. Spurgeon sometimes preached as often as ten times in a week. The quality, as well as the quantity, of his sermons earned him the nickname "Prince of Preachers." Spurgeon adhered to Calvinist views and supported a conservative approach to biblical interpretation while categorically denying the allegorical method. He opposed all liberal and pragmatic tendencies of the church. Witnesses claim that he delivered powerful sermons that mesmerized listeners with his oratorical prowess. The sermons were unfailing accurate and plumbed the depths of spiritual thought. Spurgeon authored many works, including thousands of sermons, an autobiography, biblical commentaries, a book on prayer, as well as multiple prayers, poems, and hymns.

The Way of the Rose


Book Description

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.

Victorious Service Songs


Book Description

We believe that our friends and the great public will be better pleased with Victorious Service Songs than any other book we have published. Twenty years of association in writing, selecting and publishing gospel songs, combined with the knowledge acquired by observation in conducting the music of the largest congregations and choruses ever assembled for Christian worship, has given us a wealth of experience, the result of which we are passing on to you in this volume. From the beginning of our song ministry our ambition has been to raise the standard of gospel hymns and songs. We realized that this could not be brought about suddenly, but must be accomplished through a steady and natural growth. While fully appreciating the value of many of the old standard hymns (which appear in the hymn section in the larger type), we are firmly convinced that the tuneful, melodious gospel song must not be lost if we are to attract and retain the interest of young people in the service of song -- that vital factor of importance to the present and future activities of the church. With a reasonable number of new songs, together with many of the popular modern favorites, we have herein included a large number of the most famous hymns and tunes of the church -- a combination of both new and old songs that will admirably serve each and every department of the church work and worship. - Preface.

University Harvest


Book Description

Angela Fisher is a young woman at the University who wrestles with the many dilemmas of single life while holding on to her faith as she moves into new surroundings. Her new circumstances at the University and her old emotions for Vincent Capris seem to create the ebb and flow of her experiences as she attempts to leave Vince, as she calls him, behind and begin anew at the University. Can Angela really escape her feelings for Vince? At the University, new people enter Angela’s life which opens the door to new beginnings and new challenges. Throughout these challenges, Angela seeks refuge and guidance from God through her prayers of faith. However, Angela does not mistake faith for weakness, and she confronts her situations head on while experiencing the emotional ups and downs of praise, criticism, friendship, betrayal, misunderstanding and surprising honesty and life-changing openness. Angela finds herself walking through the mountains and valleys of a life of faith, but she also begins to recognize that God has a plan for her life even in all the ups and downs. Her roller coaster experiences only serve to illuminate God’s enormous love for her, and Angela grows closer to God than ever in her life and closer to the people in her life as she shares her faith and invests herself in prayer for so many. As God’s plan for Angela unfolds, a new birth takes place within Angela, and she begins to make an impact upon everyone who encounters her because of her faith. University Harvest is an experience of Angela’s drawing near to God as you also will be challenged to do. It is the testimony of abounding faith, tried and true, and love that lasts in this harvest of souls in the community and at the University.

It Could Have Been Me


Book Description

"It Could Have Been Me" by Dr. Jeffrey Moore, is an expression of the author's concern for so many afflicted people in the world today and how life's events move them on a path toward a life of greater purpose and lasting happiness. We can experience the life we were meant to have by learning to trust and gain renewed hope through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Although we all face hardships, trouble, despair, disappointment, and discouragement, these factors work to produce an example to others of how we can make it by faith. It is important to look at people and understand that they had no plans for how things turned badly in their lives. Too many times we turn up our noses or turn our backs on those that have discovered misfortune and despair. But truly, we must take a good look at ourselves and thank God, because "It Could Have Been Me."
