Notwithstanding my weakness


Neal A. Maxwell - 1981
    In Notwithstanding My Weakness, author Neal A. Maxwell presents a positive course for those who need encouragement and reassurance and who are striving to put off the natural man and become saintlike. "In these times of hopelessness we must cultivate in ourselves a particularized and 'perfect brightness of hope,' he writes. "We will surely need, too, genuine patience, not only with others but also with ourselves, for impatience so often opens the door for despair and contempt. . . . Though we feel weak, our help is much needed by those . . . converts coming into the Church who will be undertaking the very same 'mighty change' in their hearts and lives. "As together we become less spotted by the world and more pure-achieving this condition in a time of gross immorality and corruption-then we can become worthy of being called 'true believers in Christ.'" Notwithstanding My Weakness presents a reassuring message of hope for those who are discouraged, who are weighed down with stress and anxiety, who feel weak and inadequate. To those who do overcome their weaknesses and imperfections, the promise is truly glorious: "The kingdom is yours." (D&C 38:15.)

A Cry for Mercy: Prayers from the Genesee


Henri J.M. Nouwen - 1981
    In his continuing search for a deeper understanding of the spiritual life, Henri Nouwen traveled twice to the Trappist monastery in the Genesee Valley of upstate New York. His first visit inspired The Genesee Diary, a moving account of his daily experiences and of contemporary monastic life. When he returned five years later, the familiar, comfortable daily rhythms of the contemplative life led him to concentrate his attention on meditation. He disciplined himself to write a prayer each day, an endeavor that became this extraordinary book.In these daily prayers, Father Nouwen confronts his own inner chaos as he tries to create a space in his heart where God can dwell. Powerful, searching, and painfully honest, Nouwen's prayers, confessions, and petitions point to the final goal of all spiritual life: to live unceasingly in the presence of God. Like The Wounded Healer and The Return of the Prodigal Son, A Cry for Mercy is filled with freshness and insight. It speaks directly to the contemporary Christian's need for a meaningful spirituality, a disciplined inner life, and a real sense of the divine presence in everyday life.

The Gospel According to Grace: A Clear Commentary On the Book of Romans


Chuck Smith - 1981
    In Romans 3:23-24, Paul writes, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through redemption that is in Jesus Christ.” God’s grace is fully demonstrated in the work of Jesus Christ; His suffering, death, resurrection and ascension. Only this grace can save a man from the wrath of God. The Gospel According To Grace clearly proclaims the truths of God found in the book of Romans. To know His grace is to know the abounding love that He has for mankind, and to know and receive the love of God is to be truly born again. About the Author: Chuck Smith was the founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement, and taught the Bible for more than sixty years. He authored over fifty books and today his Bible studies can be heard on the worldwide radio program, The Word For Today.
