Staff Picks – Divine Foreknowledge: Four Views

May 22, 2013 By Leave a Comment

DivineFore4ViewsEach week the blog will feature a favorite book of a staff member that’s available on WORDsearch.

What does God know, and how does He know it? In what way is God sovereign? Are the wills of God and Man compatible? If so, how are they compatible? Christians have long pondered over these questions for good reason… they are central to the very understanding of the Gospel.

What I most enjoy about working at WORDsearch is that I am constantly exposed to the best Christian works and am privileged to help make them available in digital format to preachers, teachers, scholars and laymen alike. Recently, one such work has attracted my attention, Divine Foreknowledge: Four Views (Edited By: James K. Beilby, Paul R. Eddy).

This book presents four major views on divine foreknowledge, each defended by top Bible scholars. Positive cases for each view are made with Scripture and philosophical arguments by each proponent. In addition, each proponent responds to each opposing view.  A nice feature in WORDseach’s digital copy is the ability to hover over glossary terms in the text and instantly see the definition, which makes for easy reference.

The sheer level of scholarship in this book is enough to make a person’s head spin! And this is what I most appreciate about it. It is clear evidence that Christians have taken seriously God’s foreknowledge and have sought to explain it in the most biblical and consistent way possible. Although I can find and hold one view of God’s foreknowledge veracious, I recognize the limit of human understanding and look forward to the day all God’s elect will see and know clearly (1 Cor. 13:12).  I truly appreciate the healthy dialogue between Christian brothers in this book and would recommend it to anyone who has contemplated God’s foreknowledge and will.

I humbly postulate that God is sovereign in all things (Dan 4:35), that he has determined all things (Isa 46:10) and that I need Him for everything (Rom 9:16, Jn 15:5). I thank Him for positioning me at a such a great place as WORDsearch.

The Sermon Notebook’s History and Purpose

May 20, 2013 By 2 Comments

AlToday’s post was written by guest blogger Alan Carr, whose Sermon Notebook was recently published on WORDsearch.  Read more about it and download here. 

Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Apostle Paul, in his words to Timothy, articulated the philosophy that brought The Sermon Notebook into being. Paul wrote, “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” (2 Timothy 2:2 KJV)

The internet ministry of The Sermon Notebook began as a very small endeavor. In 1997, a friend suggested that I post a series of sermons I had prepared from the book of Revelation. I took his advice. When the initial response to the sermons was positive, and interest in my sermons grew, I developed The Sermon Notebook, and our ministry was born.

Since then, I have posted well over 1,100 sermons. Over the years, the ministry has grown beyond all of my expectations. The ministry of The Sermon Notebook is accessed by tens of thousands of visitors every day, and I regularly receive emails from every populated continent in the world. I am grateful to the Lord for how He has blessed this ministry and used our sermons since those humble beginnings years ago.

As the years have passed, the mission of The Sermon Notebook has not changed: The Sermon Notebook exists to help preachers and students of the Bible in their Bible study, their preaching, and their sermon preparation. To that end, when I prepare sermons, I follow an expository model. Expositional preaching is the primary preaching method described in the Bible, (Neh. 8:8; Acts 2:14-40; Acts 8:29-35). As such, it is the model preachers should follow today.

The Bible should be allowed to speak for itself. When it does, the people of God are fed, and they grow in their understanding of His Word, and in their relationship with Him. The sermons in The Sermon Notebook function, in many ways, like a commentary. They seek to explain the text by examining the Biblical context, by defining the pivotal words in the text, and by addressing the historical background of the passage. Beyond that, they are devotional in the sense that they make practical application to the lives of people today. This is accomplished through the use of illustrations and through direct application.

It is my desire that preachers, and other students of the Word, will find a valuable resource that will aid them in their comprehension of God’s message in the Bible. I am aware that not all preachers have had access to traditional classes in hermeneutics and homiletics. Hopefully, the sermons in The Sermon Notebook will help users grow in their understanding of God’s Word, and in their ability to communicate His truth to others.

When I was approached by WORDsearch about the possibility of The Sermon Notebook being published as WORDsearch module, I was excited about the opportunity. I believe it will allow The Sermon Notebook to reach an even broader audience. As one man said, “I am just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.” Hopefully, I can help others learn to make their own bread.

It is my hope that many will avail themselves of the useful products available in the WORDsearch library. In an hour of increasing spiritual confusion and spreading Biblical darkness, the people of God should lay hold of every resource available to them. The WORDsearch library is a powerful Bible Study tool. I am proud to be a member of the WORDsearch family.

If you purchase The Sermon Notebook, and it proves helpful to you, please send me a note. I would appreciate the opportunity to correspond with you via email. My contact information can be found at www.sermonnotebook.org.

Carr holds the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Theology degrees. Currently, he teaches Homiletics, Christology and Manuscript Evidence courses at West Lenoir Baptist School of Ministry. He is married to Joan Carr, and has two children, both who are involved in ministry.

New: 59-Vol. Sermon Notebook That Functions Like a Commentary

May 18, 2013 By Leave a Comment

SermonNotebookCommentaries are a great source for gathering sermon material, right? Now, imagine a massive sermon notebook that functions like a commentary. That’s exactly what Dr. Alan Carr has accomplished with this new release, a 59-volume collection titled The Sermon Notebook. This magnificent collection is a bargain at the regular price of $99.95, but, for the next 14 days, you can enjoy our introductory offer of just $69.95. Click here to take advantage of this sale now! Or, call us at 1-800-888-9898 and mention special offer 6567.

Dr. Alan Carr’s Remarkable Accomplishment Benefits Your Ministry

I would describe Dr. Alan Carr as a “sermon-making machine.” As pastor of West Lenoir Baptist Church, he has literally preached his way through the Bible. Dr. Carr also teaches Homiletics, Christology and Manuscript Evidence at West Lenoir Baptist School of Ministry.

In The Sermon Notebook, Carr has organized 1,148 sermons that span Genesis through Revelation. These are full-blown sermons with alliterated outlines, supporting Scriptures and practical applications that teach, challenge, convict and inspire.

Fresh Material You’ll Enjoy Preaching and Teaching

Preachers and teachers are always looking for fresh and inspiring material for sermons and lessons. Dr. Carr delivers new ideas and inspiration with every sermon. I was astonished at the quality of his work, and I’m thrilled by the thought of it blessing ministries like yours.

Here’s an Interesting Example of Carr’s Work

This morning I was reading Philippians 4:6-7. You know these verses well. It’s the passage that begins with “Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Have you ever ministered to a worry wart?

Dr. Carr responded to this by writing an optimistic sermon of encouragement on the dangers of worrying. In fact, he suggests the act of worrying can be sinful: “Why is worrying a sin? It displays a lack of faith in the reality of God and in His ability to meet your needs (Romans14:23). Worry calls God a liar; it doubts His ability.”

Carr’s 3-point sermon on worrying is elegant and profound:

  1. A Word About Problems
    A. A Caution to Observe
    B. A Command to Obey
  2. A Word About Prayer
    A. The Act of Prayer
    B. The Atmosphere of Prayer
    C. The Attitude of Prayer
  3. A Word About Promises
    A. God Promises Us His Peace
    B. God Promises Us His Preservation

Dr. Carr Is Adding More Sermons—And You’ll Get Them FREE

The Sermon Notebook covers nearly every book of the Bible. Dr. Carr doesn’t have a sermon on every chapter, but most of them. The good news is that he’s adding to this work all the time. All you have to do is periodically sign into your WORDsearch account and do a “re-unlock.” This brings all your books up-to-date, and any new sermons in The Sermon Notebook will be added to your digital library free of charge.

See a Short Demo Video of The Sermon Notebook - Click Here

I hope you’ll take advantage of this introductory sale price and add The Sermon Notebookto your WORDsearch library today. I promise you’ll be delighted or I’ll happily refund your purchase. Just click here. If you prefer to order by phone, call us at 1-800-888-9898 and mention special offer 6567.

Free Friday! Four Psalms

May 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment

FourPsalmsHappy Friday everyone! Today’s free download, usually $9.95,  is Four Psalms by George Adam Smith. Click here to download.

But do you summon up the most real things in your life—the duty that is a disgust: the sacrifice for others from which you shrink. Summon up your besetting sin—the temptation which, for all your present peace, you know will be upon you before twenty-four hours are past. Summon up these grim realities of your life,—and in face of them give yourself to God’s will, put your weakness into the keeping of His grace. He is as real as they are, and the act of will by which you give yourself to Him and His Service will be as true and as solid an experience as the many acts of will by which you have so often yielded to them.

Otherwise this beautiful name, this name Shepherd, must remain to you the emptiest of metaphors: this Psalm only a fair song instead of the indestructible experience which both Name and Psalm become to him who gives himself to God.

Four Psalms is a highly personal exposition of Smith’s favorite Psalms: 23, 36, 52 and 121.

Sir George Adam Smith, D.D., LL.D. (1856-1942) was born in Calcutta, India and was raised in Leith, Scotland. He attended the Edinburgh University and then pursued graduate studies in Old Testament and Hebrew at New College, Leipzig and Tübingen Universities. He traveled extensively in Palestine, Syria, Transjordan, and Egypt during the years 1879-80, 1891, 1901 and 1903, garnering an encyclopedic knowledge of the languages, customs and terrain of the Holy Land. His later expeditions discovered several important Greek inscriptions in Transjordan, and inscriptions of Seti I in Egypt. He was appointed to the position of Professor of Old Testament at Free Church College at Glasgow, Scotland in 1892. In 1909, he accepted the appointment as Principal of the University of Aberdeen, which he held until 1935. He lectured frequently at churches and universities in the United States during this time, and received a knighthood in 1916. While he published several books, he is best remembered for his Historical Geography of the Holy Land and for Jerusalem: The Topography, Economics, and History From the Earliest Times to A.D. 70.

Staff Picks – Hard Sayings of the Bible

May 15, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Each week the blog will feature a favorite book of a staff member that’s available on WORDsearch.

HSOBMy job at WORDsearch is, mostly, to turn books into electronic books and to turn electronic books into WORDsearch books. Sometimes this is difficult because I have messy files to work with, but more often it’s difficult because I just want to read the books I come across. Hard Sayings of the Bible has been a constant challenge in this respect. There have been times when I have deleted it from my library just so I could get some work done. But I always put it back.

I discovered this book shortly after I started working here. I was reading Genesis 6 and wondering “What’s the deal with the Nephilim?”, so I searched my WORDsearch library. Several books popped up in my search. Few of them really tackled the issue, and even fewer did so with any confidence. One exception was a book called Hard Sayings of the Bible. It set forth several major theories about the nature of these mysterious beings and outlined the strengths and weaknesses of each theory. In short, it was actually helpful.

I started browsing through the book. Immediately following the section on the Nephilim, I saw more provocative questions: Does God change his mind? (Gen 6:6), Was Noah perfect? (Gen 6:9), How many animals went into the ark? (Gen 6:19-20; 7:2-3), What was the curse on Canaan? (Gen 9:24-25).

The more I read, the more I wanted to read. There were questions I’ve always wondered about, such as “How does one compare the size of his faith to a mustard seed, and why has no one ever used faith to move a mountain?” There were others I had never realized were problematic, such as “Who really killed Goliath? (2 Sam 21:19).”

The book’s title comes from John 6:60, after Jesus had told His disciples that they needed to eat His flesh and drink His blood, which they found disturbing:

60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

So I refer to this book whenever I find a passage that leaves me scratching my head. I also refer to it when I have a sudden thirst for random knowledge. It’s good in both situations, and a joy to read.

Joe Hendley has worked in a long series of strange jobs in which he has sold asphalt door-to-door, painted parking garages and performed various tasks in a door factory in East Texas. He’s glad to now be in a job that lets him use his computer coding skills to help pastors and teachers in their ministries.

We Are All Born Into This World With Handicaps

May 13, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I would like to start by saying that God has been really good to me and my family. What I am about to tell you is not from me, but from God. I hope that you understand the message that God wanted me to tell you.

We all were born into this world with handicaps. Some are more serious than others. Some we can see and others we can’t see. For those who do not know me, I was born with cerebral palsy, which means that when I was born, I did not breathe for several minutes. So this is the first miracle in my life – - God let me live. I began to breathe on my own, but some people wonder why God could let things like this happen. I do not know for a fact, but I think God has shown me a lot in His own way.

I was born in this world with four severe handicaps — one of these is very obvious — it is my cerebral palsy. I could write a book about all the miracles that have happened in my life, but I will highlight the ones that  have helped me to grow. My second handicap is I cannot read that well, and my third handicap is I can not spell that well either. But in Mark 10:26-28, it says that all things are possible with God. As you can probably imagine, growing up with these handicaps was very difficult. I have had seven major operations on me, so really that is seven more miracles in my life. The year I graduated from high school, I could not read or write, but I had a high school diploma. I do not know how I received it, but it was another miracle from God!

After high school I tried to go to college, but it was very different from high school. I stayed in for a month but then had to quit. I ended up working in food service for almost two years. All this time, I prayed to God to help me with reading and writing. One day, I was putting up the food stock — they came in big boxes — and my boss came to me ask me why I put the peaches with the peas. I was very embarrassed about that, and it really hurt me a lot so I prayed to God for help. My body was wearing down from all the work I was doing, and a doctor recommended that I quit my job.

Soon after, I purchased a computer. On it, I mostly played games because I still could not read or write. One day, someone told me about a place called the Downtown Center. It was for people who had trouble reading and spelling, and was targeted for those wanting to get their GED. So I went, and they started helping me to read and write better. One day I was down there, and one of their computers was messing up, so a teacher asked me if I could help. At the time I did not know a lot about computers but I said that I would try to fix it. I really don’t know how, but I did fix it. After that, the teacher would have me working on the computer and setting them up for other students every day. After about six months went by, I was learning to read, write and work with computers. A teacher asked me why I did not sign up for some computer classes at the college. I explained the situation to her, and then she told me that they had tutors that would help me. So this time, I prayed to God for help. I started by taking a test to see what I needed more work on. I went on to get my degree in business computer programming from the college, but I still had a small problem. I still had trouble reading and spelling.

You will probably wonder how I got my college degree. They would read me my books and when I took my test I would tell them what to write down for me. It was just another miracle from God! I kept praying for help, and God finally answered my prayers by showing me two programs for my computer – - one that would read to me, and the other one would type down what I said into the microphone. Since God gave me these tools to work with computers, there is nothing I can’t do on a computer now with time. For my own life, God has three answers to prayers – - yes, no and wait. The one I dislike, and you probably do to, is to wait. But we have to remember that God is never late.

There are several stories in the Bible where God lets bad things happen to good people. We just have to trust in God because He knows what is best for us. I think back to the day I was born and wonder what if I had been born normal.  One thing kept coming up – - would I know God? If you stop and think about it, when do we talk to God the most? To be honest, we talk to him when we need help, or when we are confused or in danger.

You all are probably wondering what the fourth handicap in my life has to do with you all. For me, this is the handicap that we all are born with, and it is the worst handicap. To go through life with the fourth handicap is that we all were born into sin. This is the worst handicap of them all, yet it is also the easiest to overcome. All you have to do is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and ask him to come into your life. I will tell you, after truly believing this, it will make things a lot easier in your life. Just be patient, read your Bible and pray to God. No matter what handicap you are born with, or if you are given a handicap later on in life, God will help you through anything! I will pray for you all and please pray for me and my family.

I hope this is a blessing for those who know God. For the ones that do not know God, I hope this is helpful in that you may come to know God. What handicaps are in your lives?

Mother’s Day

May 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Happy Mother’s Day from WORDsearch! In honor of some of the moms in our lives, some of our staff shared what they love about their mothers.

32509_541979497085_6521591_n
When parents have multiple children, they are often determined for their kids to know that they don’t choose favorites.  Well, as for my mom, she has always been persistent to claim me as her “favorite son.”  While this recognition is appreciated, it makes sense once realized that I only have an older sister.

Throughout my life though, she has always gone out of her way to laugh with me during the funny times, console me during the difficult times, celebrate with me during the happy times and support me in the times where I have needed encouragement. But most of all, she has made sure that her children know that they are regularly being prayed for.

Break it all down, and what else could I really ask for? So, on this special weekend for all the mothers out there, just know that while it may not be expressed as often as it should, your work is greatly appreciated.

And as a final personal message to my own – - you’re my favorite mother!

-Austin Bush

mom_and_katie

My favorite thing about my mom is that she put up with me. As a kid and teenager, I was the biggest brat. We would fight and fight, and everyone said it was because we were “so alike.” Now that I am older and out on my own, I understand how much she loved me, and how it is not a bad thing that we are so alike. I’m so grateful that she loved me enough to stick by me and be an example of the Lord’s love never giving up on anyone.

 -Katie Cornett 

Mom and Grandkids

With Sunday being Mother’s Day, I have been reflecting on what an awesome Mom I have and hope that I have been and continue to be half as a good Mom as she has been to me and my two sisters. My Mom, Kathleen Cochran, has always been the loving, Christian woman that God has called her to be. She set the best example in her home life, work environment and friendships. She is full of integrity and high expectations which have been passed to her three daughters. I aspire to be the Mom that she has been to me even as I have a family of my own she has always been supportive, joyful and such a rock. Happy Mother’s Day!

-Kelli Kelly

marv-mom

My mom’s always been my biggest supporter. She encouraged me to do things that pushed me out of my shell when I was younger; from playing hockey, joining youth group, the high-school band and countless other activities that ultimately had a big part in shaping who I am today.

-Marvin Smith

165426_426173797473637_671837276_n

It wasn’t until I became a parent myself that I realized all that my mom sacrificed for me to have a better life than I had.  I am so grateful to her everyday for how she prepared me for the challenges that I’d face in life, and for helping me be the husband and father I am today.

-Mike Cooper

What do you love about your mother?

New Release: Jon Courson’s Application Commentary – New Stuff You Can Teach!

May 11, 2013 By 1 Comment

CoursonJon Courson is unique when it comes to Bible commentary authors—he’s an avid practitioner of preaching. In 1977, he started the Applegate Christian Fellowship church in Oregon with 20 people in his congregation. Today Applegate ministers to 7,000 each week.

Today I’m announcing the release of Courson’s Application Commentary, a 3-volume commentary on each paragraph of the entire Bible. This is Jon Courson practicing what he preaches. Click here for details.

Each volume in this set normally sells for $44.95. Thanks to a special agreement with the publisher, we can offer all 3 volumes for $79.95 for the next 14 days. Click here to take advantage of this sale now! Or call us at 1-800-888-9898 and mention special offer 6564.

A Gifted Preacher and Master Communicator

One thing great preachers have in common is that they are outstanding storytellers. If you’ve ever heard Jon Courson preach, you’d agree he fits the description. Frankly, I was amazed at the depth of his scholarship. Courson goes deep into the ancient texts and uncovers veins of pure gold. Then he makes each lesson relevant to our lives today and explains each verse in a way that you and I can apply personally. Better yet, he offers it in a way we can easily share with others. Courson’s writing has been described as “as easy to read as your favorite novel.”

If you preach or teach, you’re going to find a lot in Courson’s commentary that you will pass along to others. His work is filled with lessons from life, insight into human nature and a healthy dose of appropriate humor.

Courson Has a Way of Seeing Truths We Somehow Miss
It’s true. I’m astonished by his knack for fleshing out truths that should be obvious, but seem to have never been stated before. I see it over and over again in his work. This morning I thought, surely he’ll have nothing new to teach me about the 23rd Psalm. Here was his introductory paragraph:

“The Bible doesn’t compare us to strong lions, swift antelopes, or clever snakes. No, the Bible likens us to sheep, which are known primarily for their stupidity. ‘All we like sheep have gone astray,’ Isaiah declares (53:6). Sheep are clueless. They go astray. They wander off. They have been known to wander over cliffs, one after another to their destruction. They’re not only clueless, but so defenseless that they have been known to be beaten back by squirrels. We, like sheep, desperately need to be shepherded. And the psalm before us speaks to that issue. We have a Shepherd—the greatest Shepherd there could ever be: the Lord Himself.”

I don’t know about you, but for me, this was a fresh teaching, the kind I can easily share with anyone. You’ll find that Courson takes this practical, straightforward approach to every passage of Scripture. If you preach or teach, you’re going to find these 3 volumes are a gold mine of practical teaching.

See for Yourself
Click here to check out the 3 Courson commentary volumes we’ve just released. Each webpage features a View a Sample button that will give you a better understanding ofCourson’s approach to Bible commentary. I hope you’ll take advantage of this introductory sale price and add all 3 volumes of Courson’s Application Commentary to your WORDsearch library today. I’m sure you’ll be delighted or I’ll happily refund your purchase. If you prefer to order by phone, call us at 1-800-888-9898 and mention special offer 6564.

Free Friday! How to Bring Men to Christ

May 10, 2013 By Leave a Comment

HowBringMenChristHappy Friday everyone! Today’s free download, usually $9.95,  is How to Bring Men to Christ by Ruben Archer Torrey. Click here to download.

But how is one to get a love for souls? This question is easily answered. First of all, a love for souls like very other grace of Christian character, is the work of the Holy Spirit. If then we are conscious that we do not have that love for souls that we should have, the first thing to do is to go to God and humbly confess this lack in our lives and ask Him by His Holy Spirit to supply that which we so sorely, need and expect Him to do it (1 John 5:14, 15; Phil. 4:19). In the second place Jesus Christ had an intense love for souls (Matt. 23:37; Luke 19:10), and intimate and constant companionship with Him will impart to our lives this grace which was so prominent in His. In the third place feelings are the outcome of thoughts. If we desire any given feeling in our lives we should dwell upon the thoughts which are adapted to produce that feeling. If any saved person will dwell long enough upon the peril and wretchedness of any man out of Christ and the worth of his soul in God’s sight as seen in the death of God’s Son to save him, a feeling of intense desire for that man’s salvation is almost certain to follow. In the fourth place, reflection upon our own ruined and unhappy condition without Christ and the great sacrifice that Christ-made to save us, is sure to fill our hearts with a desire to bring others to the Saviour we have found.

Even though many Christians earnestly want to share the saving-message of Jesus Christ, they simply lack any method to go about sharing the Gospel. In this very practical book by R. A. Torrey, you will discover the keys to effective evangelism that will enable you to fulfill your calling as an ambassador for Christ.

Ruben Archer Torrey was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1856. Torrey graduated from Yale University and Yale Divinity School and studied at the universities of Leipsic and Erlangen. He was pastor of the Congregational Church, Garretsville (1878-82); Open Door Church, Minneapolis (1883-86); superintendent of the Minneapolis City Missionary Society (1886-89); pastor of People’s Church, Minneapolis (1887-89); superintendent of Chicago Evangelization Society and Moody Bible Institute (1889-1908), having meanwhile been pastor of the Chicago Avenue Church, Chicago (1894-1905).

In December of 1901, he engaged in evangelistic work, this involved a remarkable series of overseas tours, including meetings in Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, Germany, Great Britain, Canada, and at home. Torrey consented in 1912 to head the newly formed Bible Institute of Los Angeles (Biola). Torrey stayed at Biola until 1924. Despite his various demanding duties, Torrey produced a large number of written works. Torrey was one of the compilers of The Fundamentals, for which he wrote many famous articles expounding conservative Protestantism (published from 1910 to 1915). In his later years, Torrey returned to Moody Bible Institute as a lecturer from 1924 until his death in 1928. Torrey carried out several crucial roles and wide-reaching ministries that had few parallels among American leaders of conservative Protestantism in the early twentieth century.

Staff Picks – Tozer Bundle

May 8, 2013 By Leave a Comment

AWTozerBndlEach week the blog will feature a favorite book of a staff member that’s available on WORDsearch.

My name is Jim Johnsen. I work with the WORDsearch/QuickVerse sales and customer service team. I have been working in the Bible software industry for 12 years. In my hometown of Omaha, I attend Glad Tidings Church (Assemblies of God). At the church, I have been involved in multiple different areas, such as Intercessory prayer, alter worker, usher, music and some evangelistic outreach in our city. I have been married for 29 years, and I have one daughter and two grandchildren. Some of my favorite things to do in life are to study God’s Word, spend time with my grandkids and play the drums/guitar.

My favorite book in the WORDsearch/QuickVerse library is the A.W. Tozer Bundle.  Within the bundle, I really enjoy The Pursuit of God, but all of the A.W. Tozer books have been a blessing and helped me to grow as a believer. I really like the passion and style of the A.W. Tozer writings, and I believe this would be a great addition for anyone wanting to dig deeper into God’s word.

Check out a nice discount on the Tozer Bundle here.
