Humility by Andrew Murray

Humility

Christian Living  by 
Andrew Murray

Why does God want us to practice humility? Humility by Andrew Murray is a rallying cry to all dedicated Christians to demonstrate meekness and lowliness of heart as a mark of those who follow the meek and lowly Lamb of God. Murray stated that it does not matter if the initial attempts are misunderstood, exploited, or even rejected. Instead, keep in mind that Jesus’ life and teachings teach us a lot about the value of humility. The book explains the importance of acknowledging who we are and how much we need God. According to Murray, most people do not take this virtue seriously enough, nor do they see the devastating consequences of its absence on authentic holiness. Murray allows readers to have a greater appreciation for the biblical teaching on the theme of humility; it is indeed a must-have for church groups, family devotions, or even personal study.

Grace and Free Will by Augustine of Hippo

Grace and Free Will

Doctrine  by 
Augustine of Hippo

Augustine, a Latin church father, is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He “established anew the ancient faith” according to his contemporary, Jerome.[4] In his early years he was heavily influenced by Manichaeism and afterwards by the Neo-Platonism of Plotinus,[5] but after his conversion and baptism, he developed his own approach to philosophy and theology accommodating a variety of methods and different perspectives.[6] He believed that the grace of Christ was indispensable to human freedom and framed the concepts of original sin and just war.

Divine Healing by Andrew C Murray

Divine Healing

Doctrine  by 
Andrew C Murray

Jesus became human to redeem us. But what does His redemption mean in a pragmatic sense? Will our soul be saved only in the afterlife but suffers while on Earth? Or is He also concerned with our body while we are still on Earth?
God’s redemptive gifts are forgiveness and healing. Forgiveness is for the soul, as healing is for the body. This is what Murray realized during one of his meditations. After being unable to serve in the ministry for two years, he was healed. He attributes it to the prayer of those who see God as a healer. In this book, Murray taught the church to appreciate the invaluable treasure it possesses. Faith can heal, for God is our Divine Healer. As His people, let’s not get destroyed for lack of knowledge. Let’s live life to its fullest by knowing who we are in Christ.

A Retrospect : The Story Behind My Zeal for Missions by J. Hudson Taylor

A Retrospect : The Story Behind My Zeal for Missions

Biography  by 
J. Hudson Taylor

“J. Hudson Taylor is known as a key influencer in modern missions – what is less known but more important is that his “methods” were to trust in the Lord utterly and completely. He chose to forgo financial support from his parents and other well-meaning individuals, but instead waited on the Lord in all things. He even went hungry rather than mentioning needs to those who would gladly have given, so strong was his faith in the Lord as the only true source of all provision. The Lord proved his faithfulness, providing in such a way as to show that the He indeed is good and wants to give good gifts to his children – even more than an earthly father. As a result of J. Hudson Taylor’s faith, countless others caught the vision, and the beginnings of a massive “missionary revival” was born. As you read this man’s recollections of his own life, you will be inspired to trust completely on the only One who is genuinely able to provide, and perchance you will catch a bit of the urgency for lost souls that caused this man to forsake all for the sake of others.

The Sovereignty of God by A.W. Pink

The Sovereignty of God

Doctrine  by 
A.W. Pink

In his book The Sovereignty of God, A.W. Pink outlines the sovereignty of God from a Calvinist standpoint. He defines God’s sovereignty, and then explains how God’s sovereignty is characterized in creation and salvation. Then Pink discusses the relationship between God’s sovereignty and the human will. The issues Pink raises in this book have previously been addressed by many prominent figures such as St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards. Pink studied these wise men and draws from their conclusions in his own writing, but ultimately, the author places his perspective in light of God’s Word. Pink strongly believed that true faith rests “not in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” Pink wants his readers to gain a firm grasp on the biblical text rather than the secondary literature, and he aims to highlight Scripture in his book.

Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment Book

Christian Living by 
Jeremiah Burroughs

A classic work on contentment in a Christian by the Puritan Jeremiah Burroughs. Burrough’s writings, some published before and others after his death, were numerous, but The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment is one of the most valuable of them all. Its author was much concerned to promote (1) peace among believers of various ‘persuasions’ (2) peace and contentment in the hearts of individual believers during what he describes as ‘sad and sinking times’. The Rare Jewel concentrates upon this second aim. It is marked by sanity, clarity, aptness of illustration, and warmth of appeal to the heart.

Obedience of a Christian by William Tyndale

Obedience of a Christian

Christian Living  by 
William Tyndale

The Obedience of a Christen man, and how Christen rulers ought to govern, One of the key foundation books of the English Reformation, The Obedience of a Christian Man (1528) makes a radical challenge to the established order of the all-powerful Church of its time. Himself a priest, Tyndale boldly claims that there is just one social structure created by God to which all must be obedient, without the intervention of the rule of the Pope. He argues that Christians cannot be saved simply by performing ceremonies or by hearing the Scriptures in Latin, which most could not understand, and that all should have access to the Bible in their own language – an idea that was then both bold and dangerous. Powerful in thought and theological learning, this is a landmark in religious and political thinking.
