Download or read book The Nature of True Virtue written by Jonathan Edwards and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-10-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major work in moral philosophy by the Puritan who was the most modern man of his age. "Edwards at his very greatest . . . he speaks with an insight into science and psychology so much ahead of his time that our own can hardly be said to have caught up with him." Perry Miller, 'Jonathan Edwards' Like the great speculators Augustine, Aquinas, and Pascal, Jonathan Edwards treated religious ideas as problems not of dogma, but of life. His exploration of self-love disguised as "true virtue" is grounded in the hard facts of human behavior. More than a hellfire preacher, more than a theologian, Edwards was a bold and independent philosopher. Nowhere is his force of mind more evident than in this book. He speaks as powerfully to us today as he did to the keenest minds of the eighteenth century.

Book excerpt: Dear friend, We know it deeply. It is so hard to juggle work, home, and spiritual life. As working women, we've wrestled with tough questions: · How can I be effective in my work, and stay committed to the Gospel? · How can I be dedicated to my family, when my job is so demanding? · Why am I working so hard, and still so unfulfilled? Sound familiar? Like you, we see a culture that promotes success at all costs, and working women are falling for it. It's happening every day. Priorities are shifting. Things are getting done . . . but are we doing what matters most? And that's why we wrote this book. This is the story of how we traded the lies of the world for the truth of our loving Father--the lessons we learned that challenged culture's "good things" so we could find the greatest thing. The book you're holding in your hands is really a conversation--a conversation that pushes back against our culture with a Gospel-centered approach to work and womanhood, for the glory of God and the good of others. Let's get to work. His way. Michelle + Somer "This is the book for every working woman!"--ALLI WORTHINGTON, bestselling author and business coach

Download or read book Success and the Christian written by A. W. Tozer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success and the Christian is a compilation of A.W. Tozer sermons on the subject matter of spiritual maturity—both its cost and criteria for the believer. The overall purpose of this collection is to "promote the personal heart religion"' among God's people, something Tozer consistently emphasized. Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should be the Christian's highest goal. So what holds us back from authentic spiritual success? A.W. Tozer contends that it is the excess baggage that most Christians carry that prevents them from going further with God. In this insightful and prophetic book, Tozer shows how we can recognize and clear away the stumbling blocks that keep us from a dynamic relationship with our Savior.

Download or read book Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome written by R. Kent Hughes and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.

When Bob and his partner took the company public in 2000, the stock price soared from $16 to $90 in one of the most successful IPOs ever.

Download or read book How to Succeed in the Christian Life written by R. A. Torrey and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A work of special value for beginners in the Christian life. "There is nothing more important in the Christian life than beginning right. If we begin right we can go on right. If we begin wrong the whole life that follows is likely to be wrong. If any one who reads these pages has begun wrong, it is a very simple matter to begin over again and begin right. What the right beginning in the Christian life is we are told in John 1: 12, "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name." The right way to begin the Christian life is by receiving Jesus Christ. To any one who receives Him, He at once gives power to become a child of God. If the reader of this book should be the wickedest man on earth and should at this moment receive Jesus Christ, that very instant he would become a child of God. God says so in the most unqualified way in the verse quoted above. No one can become a child of God in any other way. No man, no matter how carefully he has been reared, no matter how well he has been sheltered from the vices and evils of this world, is a child of God until he receives Jesus Christ. We are "sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3: 26, R. V.), and in no other way." The best book we know to put into the hands of the young convert, and even in the hands of more mature Christians. It tells the young convert just what he needs to know. It will also be helpful to many who have long been Christians, but have not made that headway into the Christian life that they desire. "Many who have marked with gladness the large accession to the ranks of active Christians brought about by such revival agencies as those of Messrs. Torrey and Alexander have felt the importance of securing further instruction in the Christian life for those who have been brought to decision. Dr. Torrey himself is aware of this need and seeks to meet it in a little work entitled "How to Succeed in the Christian Life.' The suggestions are mainly in the direction of maintaining religion in the soul." -The Westminster "Intended by this well-known evangelist for young converts as a sort of guide in their new career. He hopes it may also be helpful to those who, though long on the road, have not made the progress they had hoped." -The Churchman "This book is especially written for those who are Mr. Torrey's converts. It is expected to be helpful to many other Christians also. The book bears, of course, evidences of the rugged individuality of Mr. Torrey, but his suggestions s to Bible studies are very practical and helpful. The book lays great emphasis on the privilege and duty of bringing friends and acquaintances to Christ." -The Christian Work and the Evangelist CONTENTS I. Beginning Right II.

Though historically only applied to women, the Holy Spirit gives insight into this role as it applies to the entire church while she awaits the return of her bridegroom. Our lives represent our investment of the gifts Christ left as evidence of his promised return. Follow the model and wisely invest. God created you for success!

To find a sense of soul-steadying peace? To develop emotional strength? Then you will need to pause long enough to be still and know He is God.

The practice is as easy and portable as your brain, as available as your imagination, as near as your Bible, and the benefits are immediate. As you ponder, picture, and personalize God’s Word, you begin looking at life through His lens, viewing the world from His perspective. And as your thoughts become happier and holier and brighter, so do you.
