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.

change any situation About Face: Taking Your Community by Force

what you have said to God? If you are one of those persons then the

you. It not only allows you to make the jottings of
messages/prayers that you say to God but it also has some great
quotations of inspirational scripture on the pages.
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."

"We are all dwellers in two kingdoms, the inner kingdom, the
kingdom of the mind and spirit, and the outer kingdom, that of the
body and the physical universe about us. In the former, the kingdom
of the unseen, lie the silent, subtle forces that are continually
determining, and with exact precision, the conditions of the
latter. "To strike the right balance in life is one of the supreme
essentials of all successful living. We must work, for we must have
bread. We require other things than bread. They are not only
valuable, comfortable, but necessary. It is a dumb, stolid being,
however, who does not realize that life consists of more than
these. They spell mere existence, not abundance, fullness of life."

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.
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.
Do you have a strong desire to harvest First Fruits for Christ and
see more fruitful results in your Christian life? Then, it is time
to start sowing seeds To have a beautiful garden ready for harvest
in the summer, you must be willing to plant many seeds in the
spring. The same concept is true of our Christian walk. Embark on
this forty-day challenge to be a seed sower. As you sow a different
seed each day into the lives of others, you will marvel how this
seemingly small act creates great change in your own life and in
those lives around you.
