Professor of the natural sciences, world-lecturer, and missionary Henry Drummond was a man of multiple talents and interests. His penetrating scientific mind enabled him to tackle topics such as the way to become like Christ (The Changed Life) and objections to faith (Dealing with Doubt) with clarity and accuracy. The brilliance of these two seminal addresses by Drummond demonstrates why his biographer affirmed that “He changed the spiritual climate of his half-century." - The Life of Henry Drummond 1851-1897 by George Adam Smith
Dutch Reformed Pastor Andrew Murray probes Scripture and the life of Christ in order to teach us how to pray effectually. He asks us to enroll in a new kind of academy. “Jesus has opened a school, in which He trains His redeemed ones, who specially desire it, to have power in prayer. Shall we not enter it with the petition, Lord! it is just this we need to be taught! O teach us to pray.” With the Redeemer as our headmaster, Murray gently instructs us on how to experience a thriving relationship with Jesus Christ through the means of prayer.
In a penetrating and forthright style, Edward M. Bounds offers stimulating advice to Christian servants. “The preaching that kills may have insight and grasp of principles, may be scholarly and critical in taste, may have every minutia of the derivation and grammar of the letter, may be able to trim the letter into its perfect pattern, and illume it as Plato and Cicero may be illumined, may study it as a lawyer studies his text-books to form his brief or to defend his case, and yet be like a frost, a killing frost...Preaching which kills is prayerless preaching. Without prayer the preacher creates death, and not life.” This audio book nourishes the heart and mind with Bounds’ message about the role of prayer in the life of the Christian servant.
How Christ Came to Church is an enlivening spiritual autobiography that grew out of a beleaguered pastor’s startling dream. “I was in the pulpit before a full congregation, just ready to begin my sermon, when a stranger entered and passed slowly up the aisle as though silently asking with his eyes that someone would give him a seat. Half-way up the aisle a gentleman stepped out and offered him a place in his pew, which was quietly accepted. As I began my sermon my attention became riveted on this hearer. To myself I said constantly, ‘Who can that stranger be?’ After the service ended, the visitor had left before I could reach him. The gentleman with whom he had sat remained behind however. I asked him, ‘Can you tell me who that stranger was who sat in your pew this morning?’ In the most matter-of-course way he replied: ‘Why, do you not know that man? It was Jesus of Nazareth.’ ” The dream was the seminal event out of which blossomed a complete change in Gordon’s approach to ministry and a vivid transformation in his parishioners.
When Michael Card first started attending an African American church, he was struck by how the congregation worshiped Jesus as "Master." He soon learned that during slavery, calling Jesus "Master" was a subtle way of saying that their earthly masters were not their true Master. This insight led Card on a journey of discovery, as he wondered, "What did it mean for African American slaves to acknowledge Jesus as Master? What did Paul, Peter, Jude and James mean when they acknowledged themselves as Christ's slaves? What would it mean for you and me to take upon ourselves the title 'slave of Christ'?" A Better Freedom explores the biblical imagery of slavery as a metaphor for Christian discipleship. Michael Card shows how the early church saw Greco-Roman slavery as a window into understanding Jesus both as the Savior who took on the form of a slave, but also the true Lord and Master who sets us free from our own slavery to sin. Come, let yourself be captured by the Master. And discover how you can be truly set free.

2010 Christianity Today Book Award winner! 2010 Golden Canon Leadership Book Award winner! Think of the moment you last experienced God. Do you know him that closely in this moment?

Many business books point to certain values or habits to be practiced and cultivated. But we need more than abstract principles to guide us in the pursuit of good business. More significantly, we need a genuine experience of the dynamic presence of God at work in our work.

The editor-in-chief of Guideposts magazine presents life-changing stories -- including his own recovery from addiction and depression -- that demonstrate the simple keys to personal change and fulfillment. Years of listening to other people's stories of going through tough times, hoping to overcome difficult odds, or trying to find a way to make a difference in the world brought Edward Grinnan to the understanding that personal change is vital to achieving success. In each chapter of The Promise of Hope, Grinnan weaves the tales of other people with his own story to reveal how each of us can learn about the keys to powerful personal change: honesty, willingness, imagination, commitment, faith, forgiveness, acceptance, resilience, and love. He shows these principles at work in his own never-before told personal struggle with alcoholism, and how he has learned through his own missteps to accept change and become the person he was meant to be. Through the telling of these stories, each of us can find inspiration and a positive approach to daily living. By listening to the real-life experiences of Edward Grinnan and others, each of us can find a way to change and grow. As we share Grinnan's struggles and eventual triumphs, each of us will be invited to share our own stories and consider how the nine keys can make a true difference.
The Divinity School Address was delivered by Emerson to the graduating class of Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts on July 15, 1838. At the time, the Harvard community was strongly Unitarian, and Emerson's argument for a more transcendental view of God and faith was seen as radical, and touched off a great controversy. Prompted by his life experience, Emerson questioned the miracles of Jesus, argued for moral intuition over religious doctrine, and discussed the failures of historical Christianity. Although Harvard and the Unitarian church rejected his assertions, Emerson is viewed as a leader of the Transcendental movement and his other literary contributions have had a notable impact on American thought.
