My Utmost
Author: Macy Halford
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307957993
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
A beautifully written and heartfelt memoir by a young woman from Dallas, Texas, exploring the Evangelical Christianity of her childhood and its meaning to her in the present through the classic daily devotional My Utmost for His Highest. Raised in an Evangelical household by her beloved grandmother and mother, Macy Halford eventually leaves Dallas for college and a career in journalism in New York City. As her work and friendships increasingly take her into a more secular world, Halford finds her Evangelicalism evolving in interesting directions. Yet she continues to read My Utmost for His Highest—a classic Christian text, beloved by millions of Evangelicals around the world—every day. Eager to understand Utmost's unique ability to bridge her two worlds, she quits her coveted job at The New Yorker in order to look more deeply into the background of the devotional—with its daily selection from the sermons and writings of the Scottish Evangelical preacher Oswald Chambers—wrestling with who Oswald really was, what ideas informed his teaching and beliefs, and why the book means so much to her. Interweaving her own story with that of the Chamberses (Oswald died ministering to British soldiers in World War I Egypt; his devoted wife spent her life publishing his speeches, sermons, and books), Halford gives us a captivating and candid memoir about what it means to be a Christian, a reader, and a seeker in the twenty-first century.

From Victory to Victory
Author: Jean Max B. St Louis
Publisher: Certa Publishing
ISBN: 1939748674
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
Whether you are a new or mature Christian, you are currently engaged in a warfare that will not end until you meet Christ. Victory is essential in the Christian life. Not to experience a victorious Christian life does not fit within the standard we are called to live. In the book of Revelation, Jesus said these words to the seven Churches: "To the one who overcomes." This implies that, although Jesus is the source of victory for His church, He still expects his church to walk From Victory to Victory. In this book you will learn how to: * View yourself, the world around you, and the spiritual world from a biblical perspective * Identify the enemies of the Christian life and the various strategies used against you as a believer * Recognize and cope with spiritual distractions * Use your spiritual discernment at all times * Discover who you are in Christ Jesus * Operate under His victory to defeat your enemies * Practice an effective prayer life

Pages : 218
Book Description
Until it was pulled down, the Walled City was Hong Kong's most foreboding territory. It was a lawless place, dominated by the Triads, and which the police hesitated to enter. Strangers were unwelcome. Drug smuggling and heroin addiction flourished, as did prostitution and pornography, extortion and fear. When Jackie Pullinger set sail from England in 1966 she had no idea that God was calling her to the Walled City. Yet, as she spoke of Jesus Christ, brutal Triad gangsters were converted, prostitutes quit, and Jackie discovered a new treatment for drug addiction: baptism in the Holy Spirit.

Awakening to the Philosophy of Jesus
Author: Jean Maalouf
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1669824586
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
The Greatest Philosopher Who Ever Lived Obviously, Jesus did not teach at Pontifical Gregorian University or at Harvard or at Paris-Sorbonne or at Georgetown or at Oxford or at Salamanca or at any other university. He did not write some kind of a Platonist Republic, or an Aristotelian Ethics or Logic, or a Kantian Critique of Pure Reason, or a Hegelian Phenomenology of Spirit, or a Cartesian Discourse on the Method, or a Kierkegaardian Either/Or. He never quoted any philosopher from any part of the world and any culture. Yet, he surpassed them all. His philosophy was the way to the fullness of life, as he clearly indicated, “I came that they might have life and have it to the full.” This fullness of life is what this book all about. It is an invitation to rediscover, hit it off with, and stick with the Jesus of the Gospel—the divine guide for the higher consciousness, the master instructor for the fullness of life curriculum, and the greatest philosopher who ever lived for a meaningful and truly worthy life.
