Be swept into the presence of God. It is not enough for the Christ-follower to hold a set of beliefs about Jesus, to cling tightly to doctrine, or interpretation, or knowledge. The transformative power of the Gospel is accessed through faith in Jesus, through union with God, and through a real experience of His love and nearness. George MacDonald's Unspoken Sermons are a series of written (but never publicly preached) sermons that guide the reader into a deeper relationship with God through profound encounters with Jesus Christ. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a 19th century Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister, most famous for his published allegorical fairy tales and novels. MacDonald was read and admired by many well-known theologians, including G.K. Chesterton, Oswald Chambers, and C.S. Lewis, who pointed to MacDonald as an inspirer and guide for their own faith and writings. Lewis said of MacDonald, "I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself." Through this collection of remarkable sermons, the reader will discover: A magnificent perspective on Christianity A sincere hunger for spiritual truth A deeper understanding of the Christian faith A clearer sense of God's will The very presence of the Living God The insights available in these pages speak directly to the heart, as a guide towards a deep, intimate, life-changing encounter with the indwelling presence of the living God.

A Primer on Biblical Healing The transformational healing ministry of Jesus stands in stark contrast to what many Christians have come to believe today: that God doesn't always heal sickness, that healing is primarily attained through modern medicine, that God cares about spiritual health more than physical health. In Divine Healing, Andrew Murray examines some of the mysteries of divine healing: God’s desire to redeem His people in body and soul, His absolute victory over sin and death and the necessity of the believer’s faith-filled participation in healing. Andrew Murray (1828-1917), preacher, pastor, and brilliant theologian, believed that God was deeply committed to healing in both body and soul. When Murray grew ill and lost his voice for more than two years, he engaged in an intense study of healing in Scripture, seeking an answer to the question that many have asked: Should I pursue medical treatment, or exclusively seek healing from the Lord? The Lord healed Murray’s voice and, from that point on, healing the sick became a central part of his preaching and ministry. In Divine Healing, Murray shares a series of meditations centered on "The Prayer of Faith" found in James 5:15, unraveling deep questions surrounding the difficult topic of divine healing, including: Is sickness a sign of God’s judgment? How does faith play a part in healing? Why are some people healed and others not? What does the Bible say about healing? Is sickness God’s will? Murray directs the reader back to Scripture and the many examples of Jesus healing the sick. More than anything, he draws the reader into a greater understanding of the Lord’s commitment to the growth, health and wholeness of His people.

"When I first opened De Incarnatione, I soon discovered... that I was reading a masterpiece." —C.S. Lewis The world scoffs at the idea of Jesus' incarnation. Yet, the Christian faith hinges on this very notion—God, unwilling to be a bystander, fully entering into the human experience to provide the ultimate victory over sin and death. Athanasuis' On The Incarnation brings simple clarity to the difficult topic of Jesus' incarnation, affirming its timeless validity and relevance, and proving the character of an eternally loving God. Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373), Egyptian bishop, church father, and Christian theologian, broached the topic of the incarnation of Jesus during the 4th century, a time when the idea of a holy deity becoming human was absolutely preposterous. Out of the chaos of his time, with only Scripture and the Spirit of God as his guide, Athanasus wrote this passionate treatise on a subject that had never been explored before. Athanasius’ words have stood the test of time and continue to provide a trustworthy guide for us today. Through On the Incarnation, the reader will discover: A joyous and logical explanation of the incarnation A perspective grounded in Scripture and the first teachings of the Early Church A stunning description of Jesus’ victory over death An invitation to encounter this living, incarnate God Nearly two thousand years later, Athanasuis’ provocative thoughts are a breath of fresh air in a similar time of turbulence, reminding believers of the power, importance, and finality of Jesus’ incarnation.

Even the briefest of philosophical musing arrives at the conclusion that life is a passing vapor. When "all is vanity," where can true meaning and enduring significance be found? This timeless book cries out to a modern culture obsessed with knowledge yet mired in futility; it makes the case that truth can only be discovered in the footprints of Jesus. An unassuming monk from the 15th century, Thomas à Kempis devoted his life to reading and teaching Scripture. He wrote The Imitation of Christ in the midst of his daily service as an instructor and copyist. Though his life was unremarkable, the persistence of this work through the centuries proves it's very point: there is nothing more powerful or enduring than a humble life, dedicated to the simple pursuit of Jesus. No other historical work imparts the art of Christian discipleship so well as The Imitation of Christ. In the pages that follow, readers will discover... Gentle instruction toward authentic humility Practical prayers for everyday discipleship Seasoned guidance into deeper intimacy with Jesus Himself This unassuming work has beckoned millions of readers across the centuries into a lifestyle of surrendered devotion, and thus into a legacy of true significance. “... all is vanity, save to love God, and Him only to serve. That is the highest wisdom, to cast the world behind us, and to reach forward to the heavenly kingdom.”

A Quickening Flame for a Lukewarm Heart If they are honest, many believers today would describe their Christian experience as "shallow," “hollow,” or as religious actions that feel like “nervous activity.” Meanwhile, their heart yearns for something more — an authentic connection with a living, passionate God. In The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer calls the reader out of the spiritual apathy or religious intellectualism hindering them, and leads them out into a wild adventure with the God who calls Himself a consuming fire. A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) was an American pastor, author, and spiritual mentor. His writing is at once profound and accessible, both thrilling and pastoral. His own passion flashes like a flame from the pages of this book, kindling a blaze in the heart of all who read it. In this classic work, readers will find... Their hearts quickened with a renewed desire for God Himself Courage to forsake anything that hinders their whole-hearted pursuit of God A deeper affection for Him as the Object of their pursuit A keener awareness of His voice, as He speaks through their journey A captivating invitation into a lifestyle of unceasing worship All those whose hearts cry out, “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” (Psalm 42:2) will find in this classic work a clear path to the real, intimate relationship with the Father that their soul is craving. “To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.”

A Clear Path to Intuitive Prayer To all for whom prayer seems a mystery, who are aware of its importance, but unsure of the proper posture and method; for those who nevertheless ache for an authentic connection to the Living God, and can offer nothing more than their sincere longing to commune with Jesus — this short but profound work is a simple path leading directly to His feet. Madame Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) was a French Mystic, imprisoned in the Bastille by the religious and political authorities of her day for the teachings in this very book. But in spite of vicious attempts at censorship, The Simple Way of Prayer (originally published as A Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer) has proved to be the most important work on the subject since its initial publication in 1685. With a voice that is as earnest as it is tender, Madame Guyon offers wisdom for sustaining a lifestyle of prayer, including practical guidance for... Entering the presence of God Practicing inward silence Self-examination and confession Offering up petitions and supplications Overcoming distractions and temptations Experiencing deep rest before God The humble reader will discover here a method of prayer that can be sustained throughout the day, by any kind of person of any age, for this inward prayer is, very simply, "the application of the heart to God, and the internal exercise of love." “Come, ye poor, stray, wandering sheep, return to your Shepherd! Come, sinners, to your Saviour! Come, ye dull, ignorant, and illiterate, ye who think yourselves the most incapable of prayer! ...Let all without exception come, for Jesus Christ hath called all... Nothing is so easily obtained as the possession and enjoyment of God.”

"What a man is must be shown to be more important than what he does." In the Church today, there is a great emphasis on results, influence, impact, words, and actions. However, these outward manifestations of righteousness are meant to be the product of a heart deeply rooted in the love of Jesus Christ. In this prescient and wisdom-rich book, The Root of the Righteous, A.W. Tozer urges believers to fix their gaze—not on visible fruit—but on Jesus Himself, to focus their efforts on planting deep roots in Him. With a true devotion to knowing Christ Jesus, to following Him, to walking in His ways, the highly-valued fruit is simply and inevitably a product of communion with His all-powerful, ever-loving presence. A.W. Tozer (1897-1963) was an influential voice in evangelical American Christianity. As a pastor and an author, he challenged the hearts and minds of believers with his fierce intellect and heartfelt invitations, always with one goal in mind: that people would come to know God deeply, intimately, and truly. In The Root of the Righteous, Tozer's ferocity and passion shine through, as he calls readers into deeper union with Jesus and ultimately into the true life of the Church. In this compilation of short meditations, Tozer reveals that in order to plant immovable roots in Jesus, the Christian must: Listen to God Receive His counsel Enjoy His presence Know Scripture Be inspired by the Spirit Commit whole-heartedly Refuse complacency Tozer says, “The message 'Christ in you, the hope of glory’ (Colossians 1:27) needs to be restored to the Church.” This is the central decree of The Root of the Righteous: that the abiding presence of Jesus, through the gift of the Holy Spirit, in the hearts of believers is indeed the hope of the world. Through true intimacy with Christ, real, lasting fruit flourishes—righteousness flourishes—the very fruit that the world longs for.
