Life of Luther

Biography  by 
Julius Koestlin

Martin Luther (November 10, 1483-February 18, 1546) was a German university professor whose confrontation with Charles V at the Diet of Worms over freedom of conscience in 1521 shook the Holy Roman Empire. He was a monk, theologian, and church reformer as well. Luther’s theology challenged the authority of the papacy by holding that the Bible is the only infallible source of religious authority and that all baptized Christians are a priesthood of believers. According to Luther, salvation was attainable only by true repentance and faith in Jesus as the Messiah, a faith unmediated by the church. These ideas inspired the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. (Quote from wikipedia.org)

Spurgeon Charles

A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ’s miracles and parables. Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we’ll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn’t those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart’s inmost desire.

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

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.
