Art & the Bible


Francis A. Schaeffer - 1973
    "A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God."

In this book's classic essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes a Christian perspective on art.

Old Sin Nature VS. Holy Spirit


R.B. Thieme Jr. - 1973
    Holy Spirit is a ceaseless inner conflict. Each Christian by his own volition determines who controls his life at any given moment. The old sin nature is inherent at birth. As long as we live we retain this genetic distorter of our lives, with the result that we cannot fulfill the plan of God. Yet God's marvelous plan can be fulfilled. Only the invisible ministry of God the Holy Spirit can execute the Christian way of life. This book opens with the dramatic story of Elijah. After a powerful spiritual victory, he flees in terror because of an empty threat against his life. The spiritual hero becomes totally ineffective. This Old Testament prophet vividly illustrates a principle that applies to every New Testament believer. There is a vast difference between living under the control of the sin nature and leading a life of spiritual dynamics under the control of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer


R.B. Thieme Jr. - 1973
    But to pray effectively, you must know how to pray. God has established basic ground rules for you to follow. Armed with these procedures, you will be able to confidently approach the throne of grace and express your gratitude to God, intercede on behalf of others, and petition for your own personal needs. God has mandated you to “pray without ceasing.” Wielding the power of prevailing prayer, you have the opportunity to support those in need; to participate in the ministries of pastors, missionaries, and evangelists; to sustain and deliver the nation. God answers prayer in fantastic ways, but always so that His will and plan might be fulfilled.

The End of Man


Austin Farrer - 1973
    ""Sermons no one would think of printing have saved souls; sermons much admired by posterity may have achieved nothing . . .. What is rare indeed is that the text of a genuine sermon as actually delivered should satisfy the criteria of the literary form as well. To the tiny company of such preachers of genius Austin Farrer belongs."" The sermons collected in this volume demonstrate Farrer's rare abilities as a writer and preacher. Originally delivered to members of the academic community at Keble College, Oxford, they speak intelligently on all phases of Christianity. Some of the fine points of doctrine are discussed, but so are the very practical aspects of everyday life-matters such as relationships with parents, the importance of a disciplined prayer life, the proper use of money, and how to deal with intellectual challenges to the faith. Endorsements: ""Austin Farrer was, by common consent, one of the most remarkable men of his generation, He possessed the qualities of originality, independence, imagination, and intellectual force to a degree amounting to genius . . ."" Basil Mitchell About the Contributor(s): Austin Farrer (1904-1968) was ordained an Anglican priest at Oxford where he served as chaplain and fellow of several colleges. He was warden of Keble College from 1960 until his death. Both a noted theologian and New Testament scholar, Farrer was a member of ""the Oxford Christians,"" conversing frequently with C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, and T. S. Eliot.

Women of the Bible


Frances VanderVelde - 1973
    . . and their messages and lessons for women today.More than just a faddish look at a few bad girls from the Bible, this is the most widely used and best-selling study of Bible women-good and bad. Drawing on the life, character, and experiences of more than thirty women of the Bible, the author combines solid biblical knowledge, interesting historical background, and human warmth to make these women live and speak to women today.While the world has changed dramatically since these women lived, human nature and the pressures of female life have not. Imagination and insight add perception to these factual accounts taken directly from Scripture. Thoughtful and sympathetic questions for discussion at the end of each chapter allow today's women to personally apply the lessons of the women God has chosen to preserve in Scripture.Captivating reading for personal insight. Readily adaptable to any class or study group setting. A superlative book for every woman who longs to achieve all that God has planned for her.
