What can God’s creation teach us about ourselves, our communities, and modern Christianity? Talks to Farmers: Inspiring, Uplifting, Faith-Building Meditations, written by world renowned preacher Charles H. Spurgeon, uncovers the lessons we can learn from taking a closer look at nature. Includes Foreword by New York Times bestselling author, pastor, and Spurgeon admirer John MacArthur.

< First published in 1882, Talks to Farmers is a collection of nineteen of Spurgeon's best-known sermons. Within each chapter, Spurgeon artfully breaks down biblical parables, psalms, and passages through an agricultural lens to teach you timeless spiritual truths and deepen your relationship with Christ. Updated for today’s reader, this new edition of Talks to Farmers is designed to cultivate your faith along the way.

< Talks to Farmers is a hopeful, encouraging read for every Christian. Convicting and enlightening, Spurgeon's style of dissecting a verse and beautifully weaving it back together for its true purpose--to point us to Christ, our everlasting source of hope and joy--truly shines in this modern edition of Talks to Farmers.

< Throughout Talks to Farmers, Spurgeon shares the essential life lessons he’s learned about:

• The importance of developing a healthy prayer life
• How implementing a practice of gratitude can change your perspective on the world forever
• What God's creation can teach us about humanity, society, and modern Christianity
• The power of our day-to-day observations of nature
• The incredible variety of ways in which faith journeys can unfold
• How God cares for us, just as he cares for every creature on earth

Nearly 140 years after these sermons were first delivered, Spurgeon's inspirational messages continue to prove practical and relevant for modern believers, drawing from salt-of-the-earth stories from the Bible that explore our relationship with both God and his creation.

""'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my """house. Test me in this, ' says the Lord Almighty, 'and see if I will not"" """throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that""" """"you will not have room enough for it.'""""" -- Malachi 3:1 0
In these uncertain economic times, does it really make sense to tithe?
Douglas LeBlanc thinks the answer is clear enough in Malachi 3:10, where God goes so far as to tell us, "Test me in this." The people profiled in this book have done exactly that--and the effect on their lives has been dramatic.
In these intimate journalistic portraits, LeBlanc shows us true tithing in action. From members of the clergy, to best-selling authors, to social activists both conservative and liberal, these are the lives of real people who tithe in joy and plenty, in the face of poverty and natural disaster, in community and missionally, and as a spiritual practice commanded by God. They come from different backgrounds and live in varying degrees of financial comfort; but they all tithe--and wouldn't have it any other way. Through their eyes, we come to understand this ancient practice as God's call to a life of generosity, compassion, and joy.
"""""THE ANCIENT PRACTICES"""""
There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries. . .everything from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the """"""Ancient Practices"""""" series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.

Christians are engaged in the ultimate battle-the battle for the heart. The overwhelming influences of the media, materialism, and selfish ambition threaten to decay even the most tender of hearts. While the world screams to the contrary, every Christian must fight to maintain a clear conscience and discover what it really means to have the heart of God. On the heels of his New York Times bestseller "Mind Siege," Tim LaHaye, with Ed Hindson, equip readers with armor to guard their hearts and draw nearer to God. Some chapter titles include: The Battle for the Heart The Ultimate Deception The Erosion of Trust A Prescription for the Heart Finding God's Heart

If you feel your faith in God could do with a boost then this is the book for you. It will show you that God responds when we have faith in Him and in His word
