"We do more of everything else than of praying." In the Church today, there is a growing unspoken belief that God is silent, that efforts to communicate with him are contrived, naive and—perhaps most of all—futile. In this collection of his early books, E. M. Bounds speaks to the enduring power of prayer—as the pathway to personal connection with God, as the means to experience abundance, and as the very instrument that is capable of changing the world. Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) was an American author, attorney, Civil War army chaplain and Methodist preacher. Of his 11 published books, nine of them focused on prayer — an act that he believed was central to the heart of a believer, and therefore one that should be consistently learned and practiced. Bounds devoted countless hours to personal prayer, and these books are the overflow of his experience, heart and faithfulness. The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer Volume I includes Power Through Prayer, Purpose in Prayer, Prayer and Praying Men, and The Possibilities of Prayer. Through Bounds' passion and expertise, the reader will discover: How prayer can transform people and the world The purpose of individual, private prayer The centrality of prayer to spiritual health How God's promises are fulfilled through prayer In these pages, readers will encounter a sincere and unwavering belief that anything is possible through prayer and an infectious devotion to prayer as the means to true and lasting transformation.

"The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer." Christian prayer often lacks true conviction, an honest belief that these quiet utterances can contribute to advancing God's Kingdom, releasing power, goodness, and peace into a broken, weary world. In his later books devoted to the subject of prayer, E. M. Bounds contended that prayer is “the greatest work” of the believer, “the battlefield of the Church,” and “the mightiest agent to advance God’s work.” Civil-War-era Methodist pastor, Edward McKendree Bounds (1835-1913) was an unrivaled expert on the subject of prayer, with nine books to his name published on the topic. The latter part of Bounds’ life was devoted to rising before dawn each morning to pray before writing the words found in these pages. This collection of books is a product of his personal commitment to, and steadfast belief in, prayer. The Complete Works of E. M. Bounds on Prayer Volume II includes the books: The Reality of Prayer, The Essentials of Prayer, The Necessity of Prayer and The Weapon of Prayer. Through practical and insightful thoughts, Bounds explores how prayer can: Cultivate deeper intimacy with God Produce tangible results Foster Christian values Overcome Satan’s hold Activate the Holy Spirit For the doubting believer, Bounds’ passion and wisdom are a breath of fresh air, a call to arms and an invitation to collaborate with Christ in bringing the Kingdom of God to a world in need.

Be swept into the presence of God. It is not enough for the Christ-follower to hold a set of beliefs about Jesus, to cling tightly to doctrine, or interpretation, or knowledge. The transformative power of the Gospel is accessed through faith in Jesus, through union with God, and through a real experience of His love and nearness. George MacDonald's Unspoken Sermons are a series of written (but never publicly preached) sermons that guide the reader into a deeper relationship with God through profound encounters with Jesus Christ. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a 19th century Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister, most famous for his published allegorical fairy tales and novels. MacDonald was read and admired by many well-known theologians, including G.K. Chesterton, Oswald Chambers, and C.S. Lewis, who pointed to MacDonald as an inspirer and guide for their own faith and writings. Lewis said of MacDonald, "I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself." Through this collection of remarkable sermons, the reader will discover: A magnificent perspective on Christianity A sincere hunger for spiritual truth A deeper understanding of the Christian faith A clearer sense of God's will The very presence of the Living God The insights available in these pages speak directly to the heart, as a guide towards a deep, intimate, life-changing encounter with the indwelling presence of the living God.

"When I first opened De Incarnatione, I soon discovered... that I was reading a masterpiece." —C.S. Lewis The world scoffs at the idea of Jesus' incarnation. Yet, the Christian faith hinges on this very notion—God, unwilling to be a bystander, fully entering into the human experience to provide the ultimate victory over sin and death. Athanasuis' On The Incarnation brings simple clarity to the difficult topic of Jesus' incarnation, affirming its timeless validity and relevance, and proving the character of an eternally loving God. Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373), Egyptian bishop, church father, and Christian theologian, broached the topic of the incarnation of Jesus during the 4th century, a time when the idea of a holy deity becoming human was absolutely preposterous. Out of the chaos of his time, with only Scripture and the Spirit of God as his guide, Athanasus wrote this passionate treatise on a subject that had never been explored before. Athanasius’ words have stood the test of time and continue to provide a trustworthy guide for us today. Through On the Incarnation, the reader will discover: A joyous and logical explanation of the incarnation A perspective grounded in Scripture and the first teachings of the Early Church A stunning description of Jesus’ victory over death An invitation to encounter this living, incarnate God Nearly two thousand years later, Athanasuis’ provocative thoughts are a breath of fresh air in a similar time of turbulence, reminding believers of the power, importance, and finality of Jesus’ incarnation.

Has religion, the church, or Christianity become convoluted? confusing? disappointing? We live in a time where church attendance is declining, where faith has become so deeply intertwined with politics, ideologies, theologies and personal opinions that it's seemingly impossible to find Truth. In all of this, we have lost sight of the center of it all—that is, the utterly enchanting person of Jesus Christ. In G.K. Chesterton’s Everlasting Man, the reader will be brought back to the very foundation of the Christian faith: that is, Jesus—His life, death and resurrection. G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was arguably the greatest writer and thinker of the 20th century—his keen intellect, wit, spirit and wisdom would go on to influence writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, Ernest Hemingway, C. S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot and many more. Chesterton’s ability to broach controversial and diverse topics with a sense of humor and the use of paradox has made him one of the most influential voices in both Christian and secular spheres. In Everlasting Man, Chesterton brilliantly examines the history of man from a Christ-centered perspective, appealing to the mind and heart as he points to the power, truth and supremacy of Jesus by exploring: The uniqueness of Jesus’ claims Jesus’ ability to unite religion and philosophy Jesus’ radical and shocking teaching Jesus’ affirmation of human goodness The hope of Jesus’ resurrection for all mankind Chesterton writes, "There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk ’round the whole world till we come back to the same place." Everlasting Man will lead us home—to the person of Jesus, to the foundation of faith, and perhaps even to the doors of the Church.

A Winsome Defence of the Christian Faith Our modern world — wide awake to its own progress and virtues — disdains the antiquated notions of Christianity. Wouldn't humankind be much improved by the extinction of this unsightly ideology? This book is a winsome response that is delightfully sharp-witted and disarmingly sincere. In Orthodoxy, masterful thinker, literary critic, and lay theologian, G. K. Chesterton (1874-1935), pairs whimsey and wisdom to offer a robust defense of the Christian faith. Addressing the noisy contentions of secular humanism, Chesterton lays forth a defense of the Biblical worldview, asserting not only its truth, but also its necessity for a healthy society. Originally published in 1908, this unique work feels remarkably current. Orthodoxy offers a sound apologetic without being pompous or abstract. In it, readers will discover... True orthodoxy as a kind of "romance" through which the believer is wooed into authentic, spiritual connection with God An exploration of why the Biblical teachings of the Fall and Original Sin are, in fact, hopeful The vital truth hidden within the Christian doctrine of Hell How a thriving relationship with a personal God produces individuals who are truly alive Why the virtues of Christianity cannot be divorced from the fullness of the Christian faith Chesterton’s engaging defense of Orthodoxy finds its ultimate delight in the person of Jesus Himself, concluding with an invitation into His deep and mysterious joy! “If we wish to pull down the prosperous oppressor we cannot do it with the new doctrine of human perfectibility; we can do it with the old doctrine of Original Sin. If we want to uproot inherent cruelties or lift up lost populations we cannot do it with the scientific theory that matter precedes mind; we can do it with the supernatural theory that mind precedes matter. ... And if we wish to exalt the outcast and the crucified, we shall rather wish to think that a veritable God was crucified, rather than a mere sage or hero.”

A Quickening Flame for a Lukewarm Heart If they are honest, many believers today would describe their Christian experience as "shallow," “hollow,” or as religious actions that feel like “nervous activity.” Meanwhile, their heart yearns for something more — an authentic connection with a living, passionate God. In The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer calls the reader out of the spiritual apathy or religious intellectualism hindering them, and leads them out into a wild adventure with the God who calls Himself a consuming fire. A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) was an American pastor, author, and spiritual mentor. His writing is at once profound and accessible, both thrilling and pastoral. His own passion flashes like a flame from the pages of this book, kindling a blaze in the heart of all who read it. In this classic work, readers will find... Their hearts quickened with a renewed desire for God Himself Courage to forsake anything that hinders their whole-hearted pursuit of God A deeper affection for Him as the Object of their pursuit A keener awareness of His voice, as He speaks through their journey A captivating invitation into a lifestyle of unceasing worship All those whose hearts cry out, “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” (Psalm 42:2) will find in this classic work a clear path to the real, intimate relationship with the Father that their soul is craving. “To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.”

Even the briefest of philosophical musing arrives at the conclusion that life is a passing vapor. When "all is vanity," where can true meaning and enduring significance be found? This timeless book cries out to a modern culture obsessed with knowledge yet mired in futility; it makes the case that truth can only be discovered in the footprints of Jesus. An unassuming monk from the 15th century, Thomas à Kempis devoted his life to reading and teaching Scripture. He wrote The Imitation of Christ in the midst of his daily service as an instructor and copyist. Though his life was unremarkable, the persistence of this work through the centuries proves it's very point: there is nothing more powerful or enduring than a humble life, dedicated to the simple pursuit of Jesus. No other historical work imparts the art of Christian discipleship so well as The Imitation of Christ. In the pages that follow, readers will discover... Gentle instruction toward authentic humility Practical prayers for everyday discipleship Seasoned guidance into deeper intimacy with Jesus Himself This unassuming work has beckoned millions of readers across the centuries into a lifestyle of surrendered devotion, and thus into a legacy of true significance. “... all is vanity, save to love God, and Him only to serve. That is the highest wisdom, to cast the world behind us, and to reach forward to the heavenly kingdom.”

"Are you willing to surrender yourselves absolutely into His hands?" Absolute surrender is the goal of the faithful Christ follower—to live a life grafted into the very heart of God—but this pursuit is entirely counterintuitive to human nature and the innate longing for absolute control. Therefore, the journey towards surrender is often marked by struggle, shortcomings, and failure. What is the secret, then, to true surrender? In Absolute Surrender, Andrew Murray provides a practical path towards complete surrender to the way and the will of Jesus. This path leads to a life of self-sacrifice and humility—yes—but even more so, to a life of freedom and abundance, marked by the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, and therefore to a life of goodness, kindness, patience, peace, joy, and love. Much of Andrew Murray's (1828-1917) published writing was an extension of his work as a pastor in South Africa, and his dozens of books and pamphlets reflect his unshakable desire to draw people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. In these pages, Murray speaks from experience, as a man who wrestled with how to abandon himself to God’s will, who repeatedly gave his life for the sake of the Church, and who came face-to-face with God’s wondrous and boundless love through this very pursuit of absolute surrender. In this this collection of short addresses, Andrew Murray reminds the believer that the humble and powerful act of surrendering one’s life wholly to God releases: Power Provision Protection Transformation Miracles Intimacy with God Freedom Abundant life Absolute surrender is not impossible. In fact, it is the very aspiration that carries the power to fulfill the freedom, abundance, and intimacy that God promises to those who follow Him. Absolute Surrender will light the way. The question is not, “Is it possible?” The question is, “Are you willing?”

A Primer on Biblical Healing The transformational healing ministry of Jesus stands in stark contrast to what many Christians have come to believe today: that God doesn't always heal sickness, that healing is primarily attained through modern medicine, that God cares about spiritual health more than physical health. In Divine Healing, Andrew Murray examines some of the mysteries of divine healing: God’s desire to redeem His people in body and soul, His absolute victory over sin and death and the necessity of the believer’s faith-filled participation in healing. Andrew Murray (1828-1917), preacher, pastor, and brilliant theologian, believed that God was deeply committed to healing in both body and soul. When Murray grew ill and lost his voice for more than two years, he engaged in an intense study of healing in Scripture, seeking an answer to the question that many have asked: Should I pursue medical treatment, or exclusively seek healing from the Lord? The Lord healed Murray’s voice and, from that point on, healing the sick became a central part of his preaching and ministry. In Divine Healing, Murray shares a series of meditations centered on "The Prayer of Faith" found in James 5:15, unraveling deep questions surrounding the difficult topic of divine healing, including: Is sickness a sign of God’s judgment? How does faith play a part in healing? Why are some people healed and others not? What does the Bible say about healing? Is sickness God’s will? Murray directs the reader back to Scripture and the many examples of Jesus healing the sick. More than anything, he draws the reader into a greater understanding of the Lord’s commitment to the growth, health and wholeness of His people.
