Product image The Religious Affections (Unabridged) by Jonathan Edwards

Quite possibly one of the most important books ever written by America’s greatest theologian. Among the questions asked is, What is the nature of true religion?’ “What are the signs of a true revival?” and “How is the heart changed?”

Mr. Worldywiseman, Mr. Legalist & Mr. Civility

books No Comments »

I haven’t been posting much lately as I’ve been quite busy with work and preparing for my first preaching opportunity, which I delivered today!  What a gracious God we have! Last night and early this morning I was at the end of my rope and quite sure that I was going to forget everything I had studied as I was standing before the congregation.  But all went well my I was able to read scripture clearly and deliver the message without too much trouble.  Thank you for all of you who were praying for me!

I shared the pulpit with my very good friend Mark Seitz. He spoke on Galatians and I spoke on Colossians.  After church I spent some The Pilgrims Progress and just happened to be in the section on legalism:

Therefore Mr. Worldly Wiseman is an alien, and Mr. Legality is a cheat; and for his son Civility, notwithstanding his  simpering looks, he is but a hypocrite, and cannot help thee. Believe me, there is nothing in all this noise that thou hast heard of these sottish men, but a design to beguile thee of thy salvation, by turning thee from the way in which I had set thee.

What a wonderful book, you can read it online or pick up the cheater’s version (in modern English) … which I must confess I’m reading and enjoying very much.

Free eBooks from Zondervan

books, Freebies No Comments »

Oh how I love free stuff! Especially when you get something that’s not junk! I stumbled across this link. The $25 dollars in free product caught my eye, but what is even better is the fine print (no minimum purchase requried.) So away I went drawn in by the sweet promises of the ad. . . and wouldn’t you know it they make good on their offer. I picked up the Biblical Exegesis by Guthrie & Duval for FREE.

Sweet.

DIY:Jonathan Edwards Blank Bible

books, bible study, biblical resources 1 Comment »

Blank BibleThe Shepard’s Scrapbook has a fantastic weekend project: Building your own Johnathan Edwards Blank Bible. Sweetness. I gave it a shot last weekend with some success. I purchased a center-reference hard bound ESV and brought it to Staples where I had them cut off the binding, cut a ream of paper in half and punch the binding holes. I only wish I had gone to a copy shop that specializes in this kind of thing because almost all of the cuts were off. Even so, the end result was usable. I found the most difficult part about the process was lining up the holes correctly so the binding ring would thread properly. But all in all it was much easier than anticipated.

Free Audiobook - The Power through Prayer

books, Freebies, audio No Comments »

It’s time again for free audio books thanks to ChristianAudio.com

Power Through PrayerFree Audiobook of the Month In a penetrating and forthright style, Edward M. Bounds offers stimulating advice to Christian servants. “The preaching that kills may have insight and grasp of principles, may be scholarly and critical in taste, may have every minutia of the derivation and grammar of the letter, may be able to trim the letter into its perfect pattern, and illume it as Plato and Cicero may be illumined, may study it as a lawyer studies his text-books to form his brief or to defend his case, and yet be like a frost, a killing frost. . . .Preaching which kills is prayerless preaching. Without prayer the preacher creates death, and not life.” This audio book nourishes the heart and mind with Bounds’ message about the role of prayer in the life of the Christian servant.

The Pursuit of God - A. W. Tozer

books No Comments »

The Pursuit of God - A. W. TozerFor those of you who have not yet read this wonderful book, I would highly recommend it. I just stumbled across an online version of it here. If you don’t like to read on the computer screen (like me) and love the feeling of a book in your hands you can pick up a copy here. It is short and concise but jam packed full of wise insight from a man whose life was marked by service to Jesus.
