Book excerpt: According to Dr Mark Dever, 'This little booklet is a devotional classic.' It contains a 'gospel map' that reveals the way to the 'riches of the covenant.' With great skill and an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Scripture, Joseph Alleine (c.1634-68) conveys the 'exceeding great and precious promises' of God, and sets them forth in such a way as to bring encouragement and delight to the Christian believer. He demonstrates how, by embracing these promises, the believer is enabled to overcome all the assaults of unbelief. 'Faith, ' he says, 'makes its claim to all the benefits of the covenant, and stirs up the soul to joy and thankfulness.' It is little wonder to learn that Alleine's treatment of God's precious promises has proved an effective balm to countless weary souls for more than 300 years.
Download or read book Precious Bible Promises written by Samuel Clarke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precious Bible Promises brings together select passages of the Bible with the succinct analysis of preacher, scholar and doctor of divinity Samuel Clarke. A classic text for Bible study, and a perfect introduction to the lessons of the Bible for the uninitiated, Precious Bible Promises contains hundreds of quotations which inspire faith. Designed as a handbook to help with life's myriad trials and troubles, this book is certain to provide peace of mind and comfort with any problems to surface. Samuel Clarke spent his life in the service of the Anglican ministry. His studied readings of the Bible, combined with philosophical insights that impressed the scholarly establishment of England, made his books popular during and after his lifetime. Perhaps the most famous event in Clarke's life were the Boyle Lectures of 1704, whereby he drew upon his faith and reason to present a convincing assessment of intelligence. For his part, Clarke believed that faith and science could be reconciled. Subscribing to the Newtonian physics conceived during his lifetime, he advanced a view that such discoveries could be reconciled with the Biblical canon and be part of the outlook of Christian believers. It was thus that two parts of his being - that devoted to the Christian faith, and that which regarded reason and science - were sincerely appropriated into Clarke's written works.
Download or read book Always True written by James MacDonald and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow bestselling author, speaker, and pastor James MacDonald as he delivers the biblical hope of God’s promises in the midst of life’s storms. 2 Peter 1:3 refers to certain portions of God’s Word as exceedingly great and precious promises. Great promises are ones that don’t fall apart during difficult times; they reveal hope in the midst of the storm. Precious promises are ones that we find strong enough to hold us up and resilient enough to get us through. God’s promises become exceedingly great and precious to us when nothing else will do. By way of digging into the theology of God’s Promises, Pastor James uncovers 5 major categories of promise in the Bible and the 5 areas about which God repeatedly makes promises. From what to do with fear and doubt to God’s goodness, help, and victory—the Bible has much to say about God’s presence in our difficulty. Last year, Pastor James released When Life is Hard to point you toward hope in the midst of trials. Now, Always True will point you to God’s promises, which are always true.

Download or read book God s Promises That Keep Us written by J. Ellsworth Kalas and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the case of this book, I can tell you not only when it came to birth but also where. It was in a quite modest kitchen at 1506 Center Street in Sioux City, Iowa, over a period of years in the late 1930s. On a shelf in that kitchen, just above the stove, was a box of cards, each measuring roughly one by three inches, each one containing a verse from the Bible. The box was popularly referred to as “precious promises.” I don’t know if that was the name the publisher gave to the collection or if it was the title earnest Christians had given to such verses long before an enterprising publisher organized a specific collection into printed form; I only know how sacred and beloved the box was to my mother and to untold thousands of other persons at that time. The verses covered a wide area of biblical teaching. Many had a quality of admonition and instruction, but the overall mood was one of encouragement. Those who kept such a box in easy reach were sustained by the contents. Some verses took on such personal significance that they were laid aside on top of the box or beside it, to be looked at more often. Mind you, the owner of the box knew such verses by heart, but there was a peculiar strength in looking at the printed form and holding it in one’s hand. And I might add that by the time she took her “promise for the day” she would already have prayed on her knees and have read a longer portion from the Bible. I revered those promises because they meant so much to my parents, especially my mother, and because on several occasions I had seen how uniquely appropriate a particular verse proved to be at a particular time. That Center Street box has now been lost for half a century or more, so I can’t promise that the verses I embrace in this book were all in that box. The Bible verses I’ve included in this book are verses that have blessed me over the years, and I dare to believe that some or all of them will give a lift or a thought to you. Some have become significant to me in times of pain, some in joy. When you read this book, I’m very sure you will think of a verse that is priceless to you, and you’ll wonder why it’s not in this book. The verse may mean so much to you that perhaps you will reprimand me, even if kindly, for not including it. If you do, I’ll understand. I’ll just know that, whether or not you’ve ever seen a box of precious promises, you have discovered that there are promises that keep us. And I will thank God with you that you have found it to be so." (J. Ellsworth Kalas, adapted from the foreword) This book will contain a discussion guide.

Download or read book God s Grand Plan of the Ages written by Chicago Bible Students and published by Chicago Bible Students. This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "God's Grand Plan of the Ages" captures the highlights of the more comprehensive book The Divine Plan of the Ages. Though brief in nature, this 96-page booklet shares a satisfying explanation of age-old questions: Why does a God of love permit the evil we see in the world? Why are there tsunamis and earthquakes that kill thousands—and wars that kill millions? Why must we experience pain, heartache and finally death? When will God's Kingdom come and His will be "done on earth as it is in heaven?" "God's Grand Plan of the Ages" also covers the signs of the "Time of the End" prophecied in the book of Daniel (Daniel 12:1-4). Daniel's predicition that knowledge would be increased is happening before our very eyes as we see the Brain Age coming in at an unprecedented rate. Though technology has been a blessing in many ways, man's selfishness and greed is also leading the world to an ever increasing "time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation." What a comfort to know, that this trouble is a prophetic sign indicating that we are on the brink of the "Golden Age" that mankind has longed for since the dawn of history! God's Kingdom will be more wonderful, more glorious, more all encompassing, than all the dreams of philosophers, poets and sages. There will be a world of peace (Psalm 46:9) The heal ing of all the defects of humanity (Isa iah 35:5,6) Moral integrity will be planted in every heart (Jeremiah 31:33) All the dead of past ages will be raised to life again (1 Cor. 15:22) Sorrow, pain, tears and death itself will cease (Revelation 21:4) "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9) We hope you will receive a blessing from reading this booklet. We also recommend reading The Divine Plan of the Ages, available FREE on a DVD offered on the back of the booklet. It is but the first book in a series of six that covers every major doctrine of the Bible as a topical study with a harmony that is unprecedented in Christian literature. This six-volume set is also available FREE on the DVD—or at cost, in a hard bound edition.

Download or read book God s Precious Promises written by A M G Publishers and published by AMG Publishers. This book was released on 2004-01-14 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version (CEV) was introduced beginning with the New Testament in 1991. The entire Bible was released in 1995. the translators of the CEV have diligently sought to capture the spirit of the King James Version of the Bible (1611), as the translators of that magnificent translation desired nearly four centuries ago that the Scripture 'be understood' by ordinary people. Those responsible for translating the CEV understand that more people hear the World of God read than actually read it for themselves. The CEV diffes from all other English Bibles--past and present--in that it takes into consideration the needs of the hearer, as well as those of the reader, who may not befamiliar with traditional biblical language. The CEV has been described as a user-friendly, mission-driven translation that can be read aloud without stumbling, heard without misunderstanding, and listened to with enjoyment and appreciation, because the language is contemporary and the style is lucid and lyrical.
