Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This superb collection unites two of A. B. Simpson's finest works,
which together advise and counsel Christians who wish to live a
harmonious existence close to God. Written at the beginning of the
20th century, Simpson's guidance retains its freshness and impact
despite the long lapse of time. His evangelical spirit was
convinced in the truth of his God-divined words, and he partly
attributed the success of missions he oversaw to the profundity of
his words and hymns. The first work, The Life of Prayer, examines
the need for Christian prayer and reflection from multiple
perspectives. Quoting the New Testament scriptures, Simpson
expounds on the words of the gospels, explaining their continued
importance to the faithful in the present day. The second paper,
The Power of Stillness, is a short but sublime meditation on the
importance of a moment's contemplative silence. That moment of
quiet which follows a concluded prayer, recited hymn, or indeed
much music in the church or outside it, is discussed.
The entirety of 'The Holy Spirit' by A. B. Simpson is presented
here, allowing readers to digest the devotional beauty of the
author's reflections from a single, convenient volume. Using his
gifts for expression, his scholarly learning, and the sheer depth
of his spiritual beliefs, A. B. Simpson crafted this compelling
work. In it, he expounds on the essential beauty of God as
manifested in the Holy Spirit, cataloging the appearances of said
spirit and explaining the meaning behind each. The many
manifestations of the Lord, both overt and subtle, are indicated
and discussed by Simpson, whose held extensive knowledge of
scripture. Each chapter of this book begins with a quotation from
the Bible. The length of such quotes varies from a single line to
long tracts. Simpson explains the presence of God and the Holy
Spirit in each of these excerpts, offering insights upon how the
Lord manifested to teach or offer guidance to a given person or
group.
A. B. Simpson's classic commentary on the Gospels takes a
four-pronged approach to the life, virtues and purpose of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Firstly the book considers Christ's role as a savior
of mankind. Simpson ably defines what salvation is, what its
consequences are for believers, and how blessings are dispensed and
received. The second chapter concerns the sanctification of Jesus
Christ; the process through which he acquired rightful renown as a
holy figure. Simpson is careful to define what does and does not
constitute sanctity, dispelling several misconceptions in his lucid
guidance. Thirdly Simpson examines the nature of Christ as a
healer. Striking a contrast between the nature of curative
medicine, and the nature of divine healing, we receive definitions
of what divine healing is and is not. Lastly, the author turns to
the Second Coming of Christ. What this impending event means for
Christians and humanity, and how believers may anticipate and infer
signs of Christ's return to Earth.
