Book Description
Excerpt from The Heart of Christianity Some devout Christian scholars who have read this book in manuscript, have sug gested that I ought to have qualified, more fully, its leading propositions. For example, in the teaching that the Holy Spirit is the guide of the Christian, it is suggested that, I lay myself open to the suspicion that I undervalue the Church and the Bible, or at least, that I see antagonism between the Holy Spirit on the one hand, and the Church and the Bible on the other. As to the latter, I am well satisfied that there can be no antagonism or contradiction between the truth of the Bible' and the lead ings of the Holy Spirit. The one must harmonize with the other. God can never contradict Himself although sometimes He may appear to do so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Jesus, the Heart of Christianity Among these, through whom the imperishable life of the infinite God is breathed into our race, and high above all is he from whom Christen dom sprang. This claim which we make for him may well seem questionable if measured by the extent to which his in uence has spread over the globe. The religion of Buddha, it is computed, is the religion of four hundred millions of human be ings. So far then as numbers are concerned, Christendom must yield to the religion of Asia, and Christ to Buddha.

Excerpt from The Heart of Christianity, Vol. 2 Divine Guidance is simply doing what we think to be right. - Some claim Divine Guidance as liable to grave dangers. - There are dangers in all duty doing. - We learn spiritual truth the same as other truth. - We learn how the Holy Spirit guides by being guided. - The Holy Spirit undertakes to be our teacher. - Learning implies overcoming of ignorance. - The Holy Spirit when necessary gives instantaneous lessons, but generally teaches by natural processes. - We learn by our mistakes. - Jesus learned by suffering. - There are grave dangers to persons who trifle with the Holy Spirit. - Error of judgment is the only necessary danger. - A heart filled with love is a necessary condition to Divine Guidance. - Voluntary sin is impossible to such a person. - Such a condition is supernatural. - Perpetual faith a condition. - All men under obligation to do what they think to be right. - The danger of being led by the Spirit no greater, at least, than being led by our common sense.

Book Description
First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

Book Description
As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

Excerpt from The Master of the Heart The chapters of this little book are not essays, but addresses. They are not theological or liter ary, but practical. They were spoken in the first place to the young men and women of the North field Conferences in the summertimes. They present simply and earnestly some personal aspects of Christian truth. They were reported at the time and are printed here in almost their original colloquial form, in the h0pe that in some life they may make a larger place for our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Their only merit is their effort to exalt Him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Practice of Christianity Many virtues are required for the support of evil causes. Goodness must consist in what makes a man not only a good instrument but an instrument of good. Our Lo..l's unique goodness consisted not more in loyalty of will than in insight into God's will. His loving kindness gave Him this insight. In His criticism of life jesus csalts natural kindness and trustfulness as the foundation of all goodness. Distinction between a good and bad heart simple and instinctive. We do not make good-heartedness equival t to goodness because we think it could not succeed in the world: our Lord believed it to be the regulative virtue necessary to give all others survival value. But tender-heartedness cannot prevail till our present customs of thought are destroyed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
