A carefully chosen passage of scripture. A brief, thoughtful message from Billy Graham. A heartfelt prayer composed especially for this devotional. Distilled from a lifetime of study and ministry, these devotionals supply daily food for thought about living fruitfully and joyfully in an often-fretful world. Simple, direct, encouraging yet challenging, this book offers itself as a heartening companion for your daily walk in the valley. This collection is a gentle but constant reminder that we can find help for all our needs as long as we remember to look up . . . unto the hills but especially unto the Lord. Billy Graham draws from his lifetime of study and ministry to offer this devotional classic, featuring 365 meditations to calm you and point you toward the One who can always help.
A call to raise God to his rightful place. Sometimes the voices that speak so clearly in the present are those that echo from the past. In this Christian classic, the late A.W. Tozer brings the mystics to bear on modern spirituality, grieving the hustle and bustle and calling for a slow, steady gaze upon God. With prophetic vigour and flowing prose, he calls Christians to replace low thoughts of God with lofty ones, to quiet our lives so we can know God's presence. He reminds us that life apart from God is really no life at all. Tozer writes from upon his knees, a posture fit for presenting the character of God in all its demanding grandeur. 'Arise, O sleeper!' is his word to us, and yet if we heed the call, we will see that to arise is not to stand, but to kneel before the God of heaven in humble contemplation. To pursue God is to know Him, and in our knowing be drawn in.
An inspiring look at Ephesians which opens our eyes to the central issues of our faith. It describes the process of Christian living and maturity in three words: Sit - Our position in Christ, Walk - Our life in the world, Stand - Our attitude toward our enemy.
This book has been definitive in the lives of many. Andrew Murray says that humility lies at the very heart of a successful Christian life. When we came to God for salvation, it was in admitting our need that we found grace. So in every stage of our walk, it is by admitting our lack and realising our utter dependence on God that we are victorious. Moreover, in that God was willing to humble Himself, it is by walking in lowliness of mind that we bear the strongest sign that we are the children of God.
“In the opening chapters of the Book of Revelation the Apostle John tells us how on the Isle of Patmos he was given an awesome vision of the Lord Jesus, risen from the dead. Then John says, ‘When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.’ He tells us not only the vision itself, but the profound effect it had on him. It utterly prostrated him before the Lord until He came and laid His right hand on him and said ‘Fear not.’” Roy Hession If we are ever to come to a place of revival, we need to see the Lord as He really is: reigning resplendent in glory and holiness. It is only then that we will see ourselves as we really are and so see our great need. In this profound book, Roy Hession looks at three men and a group of men, and the effect that a new vision of the Lord had upon them.

“Are you moving on in the growing fullness of the revelation of the Lord Jesus? Have you an open heaven? Is God in Christ revealing Himself to you in ever greater wonder and fullness? “The ministry contained in this little book has been wrought on the anvil of deep and drastic dealings of God with the vessel. It is not only doctrinal: it is experiential. Only those who really mean business with God will take the pains demanded to read it. “Of all the books that have issued from this ministry, I regard this one as that which goes most deeply to the roots and foundations of our life in Christ with God. “May He make the reading of it result in a fuller understanding of the meaning of Christ.” T Austin-Sparks.

“The Revival We Need is the most powerful plea for revival I have ever read. Had I the wealth of a millionaire I would put it in every Christian home and confidently look for a revival which would sweep round the world.” -- Jonathan Goforth. “If God stirs up hearts to pray for a revival it is a sure sign that He wants to send one, and He is always true to His word. Have we the faith? Do we expect an awakening? The answer is not long in coming once the conditions are met. “The trouble is not with God. It lies right here with ourselves. He is willing, more than willing. But we are not ready. And He is waiting for us. Are we going to keep Him waiting long?” -- Oswald Sanders. “His books have been used by the Holy Spirit to sear into the very depths of my own soul and have had a tremendous influence on my personal life and ministry.” -- Billy Graham
E. M. Bounds has a message: We need to pray. Whereas much of the church is focussing on methods and education, Bounds says the answer to the lack of power in Christian service is simply prayer. Bounds identifies the errors that many make which lead to failure, and uses the lives of great men of God as examples to show the absolute necessity of a serious prayer life. This rousing exhortaion should leave a stirring exhortation to pray.
How can we get the most out of the Bible? Renowned preacher and evangelist R. A. Torrey says that the Bible is like a gold-mine, and in order to benefit most and discover its hidden riches, we need to put some work in. Whereas many are content just to read the Word of God, to those who are willing to put in some time and effort, the rewards are enormous. Torrey outlines the methods he has found most helpful in studying the Bible, giving examples of different types of study, how to start and how each study might proceed. Just as importantly, he sets out the necessary spiritual conditions for the one seeking to study in order for him to derive maximum benefit. Proven for over a hundred years, this classic work serves both to encourage the serious study of the Scriptures and to show how it can best be done.
When Paul came to Ephesus, he found some disciples and asked them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? They replied that they had not heard that there even was a Holy Spirit. Many Christians are in a similar position today: soundly saved and born again of the Holy Spirit, but not walking in the power of the Spirit. Andrew Murray says that the biggest lack in the church today and the single solution to all its problems is the real moving of the Spirit. Whilst so much time is wasted with men’s ideas and men’s methods, if we were simply to seek the power of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to work, the whole Christian landscape would change. In an age when methodology is on the increase, Andrew Murray takes us back to basic biblical principles, showing us how to experience the Holy Spirit’s power, and why it is the one thing needful.

“I did not put this book down until I had read every word of it. My soul was refreshed. My prayer is that it will reach the hearts of thousands of others as it has reached mine.” -- Gipsy Smith “Have you ever been filled with the Holy Spirit and are you living a spirit-filled life today? The Bible says, “Be filled with the Spirit”. Have you obeyed and are you filled? “This, you see, is a command – “Be filled with the Spirit.” As a matter of fact, it is the most important commandment in the Bible. Because, you see, when you obey this commandment you automatically obey all the others. The fulness of the Spirit settles every problem in your life. “This message, therefore, is for each and every one of us. We all need to be filled with the Spirit. The disciples were filled on the day of Pentecost and then filled again at a later date. We, too, must be filled again and again.” -- Oswald J. Smith. “His books have been used by the Holy Spirit to sear into the very depths of my own soul and have had a tremendous influence on my personal life and ministry.” -- Billy Graham
Our lives are finite. There is a date and time when they will come to an end. But will our last years be lived in an upward trajectory or descend ingloriously? There are biblical characters who lived godly lives in their early days but walked away from God and his ways in their later years; there are also biblical characters who stayed true right up until their last day on this earth. The characters in this book all fall in to one of these two categories – and we can learn from them all. Read on, and discover how those who lived long ago encourage us to finish well today.

Kids are a lot like kites - struggling to become airborne, yet needing the stability of the string. A kite is not designed to be possessively protected inside the home. Though separation is painful, God designed your role as a parent to prepare your "kite" for flight. As the fragile frame dives again and again, don't be emotionally torn by the changing winds. Keep running with your child, releasing more and more string into the Lord's sovereign hands. June Hunt gives practical advice and Biblical wisdom on how to be a great parent. Did you know: -God ordained roles for mothers and fathers -The different parenting styles that lead to problems -The proper balance between love and limits -The process of "letting go" and allowing your child to soar -The hope God has for hurting parents In most families, the role of a father and the role of a mother are different. Your child may be looking to each parent for different needs and acknowledgements. Learn what they are and how you can be proactive in the role that the Lord has given to you. Your child is a gift from God. The most compelling behaviour you can model before your child is to reflect the character of Christ. It's never too late to begin taking steps toward godly parenting.

Becoming a Christian is the start of a new life and there is a lot to learn. First Steps aims to lead you step by step to a fuller understanding of what Christians believe and to help you live your life with God. Jesus once told a story about two builders. The wise one built his house on the rock, the foolish one built his house on the sand. When the storms came, the house on the rock stood firm, but the other one fell down because it had such poor foundations. Jesus said that if we hear his words and put them into practice, then, like that wise man, we will have a firm foundation for our life which will not shift when the storms come. I hope and pray that First Steps will help you build a solid foundation for your life. - John Robertshaw 15 Studies each 4 pages long with spaces for answers and comments. - Becoming a Christian - A Child of God - I Forgive You - The Bible - Water Baptism - Bread and Wine - Jesus is Alive - Holy Spirit - Talking with God - Servant of God - Know the Enemy - Victory in Jesus - The Church - The Future - Fishers of Men Also useful information for new Christians.
Stormie Omartian's bestselling books on the power of prayer have touched millions of lives. Recent books have taken a closer look at the leading of the Holy Spirit and the call to be a prayer warrior for God. Now Stormie takes a fresh look at another powerful aspect of knowing our Creator…His amazing and great love for us. We reflect God most clearly when we are motivated by the power of love in all we say and do. But first we have to understand the depth of God's love for us and receive it. Then we must learn how to effectively express our love for Him. 'One of the many ways we can show our love to God is to deliberately choose to show love to others and in every situation,' says Stormie. 'We can only accomplish this with the guidance and enablement of the Holy Spirit. When we do that, God blesses us and transforms our lives in ways we cannot even imagine. And we will have a sense of God's pleasure toward us that is far more valuable than anything else we may desire. This book is about making that sometimes difficult choice and the rewards that follow.' Transform your heart, your relationships, and your future as you press into God's love and let the power of His life and character move through you.
