Our story begins one Friday morning when an unemployed man knocks at the door of Rev. Henry Maxwell while he is preparing for that Sunday s sermon. Maxwell listens briefly to the man s plea before brushing him aside and closing the door. The same man then appears in church at the end of the Sunday sermon, where he quietly but frankly confronts the congregation. I m not complaining; just stating facts, he says, about their lack of compassion for people like him in the community. Upon finishing his address to the congregation he collapses only to die a few days later. That next Sunday, Henry Maxwell, deeply moved by the events of the past week, presents a challenge to his congregation: Do not do anything without first asking, What would Jesus do? In His Steps has sold more than 30,000,000 copies, and ranks as one of the best-selling books of all time.Now available in a large print edition. "

The Old and New Testaments are about a time and society very different from ours today, consequently reading Scripture may seem like entering a strange world. Edersheim makes that world understandable and much less strange. He does this by providing the common knowledge of that day for today's readers. In this book, Edersheim provides insight into the basics of Jewish society, customs, political powers, etc. But he doesn't just give readers the relevant information; he also applies it to particular biblical passages and events. Edersheim writes in an easy style anyone can follow, providing meaningful information that will not overwhelm readers with data. Sketches of Jewish Social Life is ideal for anyone wanting a richer understanding of the Old and New Testaments.

Although he wrote much beloved fiction, MacDonald'sUnspoken Sermonsis some of the most wonderful and profound literature a person can read. The sermons are arranged in series, so that they build upon one another. Throughout, MacDonald is more concerned with a person developing a love of God than developing dogmas. That is, MacDonald's sermons are more concerned withdoingthe will of God thanbelievingtrue things about God. Though MacDonald's approach to theology is not the usual one, nevertheless the results are astounding. Many readers feel they are being swept into the presence of God upon reading these sermons. MacDonald'sUnspoken Sermonstruly provide a chance for a person to more closely love God and humankind."

In the mid 1990s, Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins began a series of end-times fiction that captured the imagination of both Christian and major media. But over eight decades earlier, author Sydney Watson pioneered this genre with In the Twinkling of an Eye. Initially written back in 1910, Watson followed his book with two sequels in the mid 1910s thus publishing the very first series of eschatological novels. It is a delight to bring back this classic novel, lightly edited for today's reader, for a contemporary audience. A CLASSIC OF END-TIMES FICTION

Written more than three centuries ago, this Christian classic still speaks to readers, addressing concerns that trouble the human heart today just as they did in the 1600's. Grace Abounding gives an account of God's exceeding goodness in the life of his poor servant John Bunyan as well as Bunyan's call to the ministry and his imprisonment for that ministry. It is a wonderful introduction to a giant of the faith, and an encouraging story of God's power to change people."

In hisConfessions, Saint Augustine reflects upon his life in the light of scripture and the presence of God. He begins with his infancy, pondering the many sins of his life before his conversion, and he confesses not only his sins but even more the greatness of God. This work presents a wonderful contrast between the Holy God who created all things and whom heaven and earth cannot contain, and a commonly sinful man who has joyfully received God's loving salvation and mercy. Many scholars consider Saint Augustine to be among the greatest and most influential fathers of the early church. And as you read hisConfessions, you will find the confident humility that is common among those whom Jesus calls "great in the kingdom of heaven." Augustine writes as a common man, and so his words span time and tradition. May hisConfessionsguide you to the One whom he confesses."
