The business of life is to live and to live well. But in this day and age we know almost everything about life except how to live it. We can dissect life and explain its parts and then fail to put it together again in such a way that it becomes a coordinated, harmonious whole. Through the vibrant writings of E. Stanley Jones, discover not only how God desires more for us than we could ever think or imagine, but freely gives us that abundant life of body, mind, and spirit.

"Abundant Living," the sequel to "Victorious Living," continues the journey toward extraordinary life through trusting God and self-surrender. Written in 1942 by one of the greatest Christian leaders of the day, experience this classic devotional with a new foreword by Leonard Sweet.

How many of us have learned how to recite the Lord's Prayer as children? Perhaps we did this about the same time as we learned how to sing the National Anthem. It was something to be memorized, but probably not thought about, or even understood at that age. The question is, how many of us have thought about the Lord's Prayer, or understood it since? Jesus taught his disciples the Lord's Prayer in response to the request, teach us to pray. We should take this prayer seriously as an important part of our spirituality. Pastor Michael Faber has broken down the Lord's Prayer into six parts, preaching a sermon on each part, in order to lead his listeners into deeper understanding and meditation on the riches the Lord's Prayer. Join us as we explore the Lord's Prayer together through the pages of this devotional booklet

For some 2,000 years religious institutions have claimed that the bible is the "word of God" and have interpreted, edited and rewritten sections, distorting the original meanings. This book identifies some of these alterations and shows that bible's true authors were simply humans.

About the Contributor(s): Gregory S. Clapper is Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the University of Indianapolis and is Affiliate Professor of United Methodist Studies at Christian Theological Seminary. He has authored many articles and four books.

E. Stanley Jones wrote "Victorious Living" in 1936 to respond to inquirers who had come to him morally and spiritually defeated. They were inwardly beaten, thus outwardly ineffective. The book responds with individual and social emphases, and goes step by step, as if on a ladder, to work through the pressing questions of the inner life and how it extends outward: How do we achieve a life evidencing the peace that passes understanding, even in ourselves, let alone passing it on?

What makes the difference between ordinary living and extraordinary, victorious living? How can we build a new inner strength that shines through in our outward character and relationships? Our own efforts to rise above are ineffective but by applying the power of God s Word we can close the gap between our reality and our beliefs. Each daily reading offers essential truths and eternal principles: keys to victorious living in the circumstances we encounter every day Now this vibrant work is making a long deserved comeback, with a new foreword by Leonard Sweet."

Quickened souls are hungry souls, and hungry souls need food. Some can eat solid food - and some must be fed with milk. God's word provides for all, and gives a portion to each; and God commands his servants to do so likewise. All believers need to be fed, and this little book is intended to set food before them. If the reader is a hungry soul - he will find something in it to meet his case; though it is probable that for some it may be too simple, and they may turn from it to seek something more to their taste. Solomon, long ago said, "The full soul loathes the honeycomb, but to the hungry soul - every bitter thing is sweet." If the reader derives profit himself, he will do well to recommend the work to others, as also to give or lend copies to the poor. This is one very easy way of doing good, not to one, but to many; not for once, but in perpetuity. When we give a good book, we know not where it will be carried, or how many years it will be preserved. Let us circulate such books, to the utmost of our power, asking God's blessing on our efforts. May both writer and reader be found among the blessed of the Lord. Amen. James Smith

THE YOGA SUTRAS OF PATANJALI "The Book of the Spiritual Man" An Interpretation By Charles Johnston The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are in themselves exceedingly brief, less than ten pages of large type in the original. Yet they contain the essence of practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and detail. The theme, if the present interpreter be right, is the great regeneration, the birth of the spiritual from the psychical man: the same theme which Paul so wisely and eloquently set forth in writing to his disciples in Corinth, the theme of all mystics in all lands.
