• Summary

The inspiring story of a courageous woman who survived three tragedies that took the lices of her husband and children.

‘Mrs. Steel, it’s getting colder. The rain is turning to ice. There has just been an accident on the 37 bypass. I’m sorry to have to tell you that your children and their friend have just been killed.’

Suddenly I felt as if I had been pushed over a high cliff into a wild, seething sea, unable to swim. But remarkably, at that very moment, I felt myself in the strong embrace of the Spirit of God.

I was lifted upward, above the cold winter trees, sweetly, securely, into the warm presence of my Father. With a calm, which I instinctively knew had its source from beyond my own being, I heard myself say, “Officer, I know where they are. They are with God.”

In Secret of Guidance, first published in 1896, Meyer addresses one of the most crucial questions for every religious person: How do you find proper guidance? For if one is to lead a proper life according to God’s will, one must have a pretty good idea of what God’s will is. Many pray for guidance, and here Meyer attempts to show believers how they may start to discern God’s answer to those prayers. He further explains those conditions that may be keeping people from following the guidance that they have been given. Secret of Guidance is a useful guide for any Christian who feels lost on their path and is looking to reconnect with God.

• Summary

Growing spiritually is a well-known Christian responsibility, but where can you go to find time-tested, biblical wisdom to guide you?

This collection by Oswald Chambers, considered one of the most influential teachers of the 20th century, brings you answers and practical applications to help develop your spiritual life.

This well-known author of My Utmost for His Highest walks you through topics like spiritual failure and frustration to help you find the authentic Christian life you desire.

Oswald Chambers also shows you how God uses adversity to reveal Himself and give your life a quality of Christ-likeness.

• From the Back Cover

Let go of the “old you” and become a new creature in Christ. In Conformed to His Image Oswald Chambers invites you to do this. Then he offers you a practical guide that will move you out of your doldrums of spiritual failure, frustration, and listlessness into the Christian life as you have imagined it could be.

With startling clarity, Chambers proves once again that the Christian life of power and satisfaction is not just for “saints” but for everyday believers. “The transformed life is not merely possible. It is the birthright of every Christian.”

In The Servant as His Lord, Chambers explores with compassion and insight why Jesus Christ predicted that His followers would experience many tribulations. But he goes on to show how God gives us a fighting chance to triumph, and he explains that Jesus Himself is eager to nourish and guide His saints in their hours of conflict.

The one great message of this book makes clear the truth that through it all, the Lord’s servant may be, and should be, “as his Lord.”

• Summary

“There is no writer in the evangelical world that I admire and appreciate more.” —Billy Graham

Philip Yancey helps reveal what two thousand years of history covered up….

What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels? How does the Jesus of the New Testament compare to the “new, rediscovered” Jesus—or even the Jesus we think we know so well? Philip Yancey offers a new and different perspective on the life of Christ and his work—his teachings, his miracles, his death and resurrection—and ultimately, who he was and why he came.

From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, Yancey presents a complex character who generates questions as well as answers; a disturbing and exhilarating Jesus who wants to radically transform your life and stretch your faith. The Jesus I Never Knew uncovers a Jesus who is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying. “No one who meets Jesus ever stays the same,” says Yancey. “Jesus has rocked my own preconceptions and has made me ask hard questions about why those of us who bear his name don’t do a better job of following him.”
