How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit

A. W. Tozer

$6.99

www.amazon.com/dp/1549774190

Before we deal with the question of how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, there are some matters which first have to be settled. As believers you have to get them out of the way, and right here is where the difficulty arises. I have been afraid that my listeners might have gotten the idea somewhere that I had a how-to-be-filled-with-the-Spirit-in-five-easy-lessons doctrine, which I could give you. If you can have any such vague ideas as that, I can only stand before you and say, “I am sorry”; because it isn’t true; I can’t give you such a course. There are some things, I say, that you have to get out of the way, settled.

The 400 Silent Years

H. A. Ironside

$7.50

www.amazon.com/dp/1549816039

Fully illustrated. Includes all of the drawings from the original edition.

What is the history between the Old and New Testaments? Most people are not even aware there is such a gap. But there is. A 400 year gap.

When the Old Testament leaves off the Jews have just returned back from Babylonian captivity and the Persian Empire is in full swing. When Jesus enters the scene it is 400 years later. The Persians are long gone, the Greeks have had their time and now the Romans rule to roost.

So what happened? Do we have any writings from this time? Could understanding this period of time help us understand the New Testament, the world of Jesus and the Apostles? The answer is yes.

This exciting book by well-known author H. A. Ironside lifts the veil from this vital period of Jewish history and helps piece together the events that brought them from Malachi to Matthew.

This book will be of interested to students of Biblical, Ancient Near Eastern, Greek and Roman history as well as all those who desire to know and understand the Bible for fully.

God Still Speaks

A. W. Tozer

$6.99

www.amazon.com/dp/154980894X

Tozer is as popular today as when he was living on the earth. He is respected right across the spectrum of Christianity, in circles that would disagree sharply with him doctrinally. Why is this? A. W. Tozer was a man who knew the voice of God. He shared this experience with every true child of God. With all those who are called by the grace of God to share in the mystical union that is possible with Him through His Son Jesus.

Tozer fought against much dryness and formality in his day. Considered a mighty man of God by most Evangelicals today, he was unconventional in his approach to spirituality and had no qualms about consulting everyone from Catholic Saints to German Protestant mystics for inspiration on how to experience God more fully.

Tozer, just like his Master, doesn’t fit neatly into our theological boxes. He was a man after God’s own heart and was willing to break the rules (man-made ones that is) to get there.

Here are two writings by Tozer that touch on the heart of this goal. Revelation is Not Enough and The Speaking Voice. A bonus chapter The Menace of the Religious Movie is included.

This is meat to sink your spiritual teeth into. Tozer’s writings will show you the way to satisfy your spiritual hunger.

Christianity and Liberalism

J. Gresham Machen

The purpose of this book is not to decide the religious issue of the present day, but merely to present the issue as sharply and clearly as possible, in order that the reader may be aided in deciding it for himself. Presenting an issue sharply is indeed by no means a popular business at the present time; there are many who prefer to fight their intellectual battles in what Dr. Francis L. Patton has aptly called a “condition of low visibility.” Clear-cut definition of terms in religious matters, bold facing of the logical implications of religious views, is by many persons regarded as an impious proceeding. May it not discourage contribution to mission boards? May it not hinder the progress of consolidation, and produce a poor showing in columns of Church statistics? But with such persons we cannot possibly bring ourselves to agree. Light may seem at times to be an impertinent intruder, but it is always beneficial in the end. The type of religion which rejoices in the pious sound of traditional phrases, regardless of their meanings, or shrinks from “controversial” matters, will never stand amid the shocks of life. In the sphere of religion, as in other spheres, the things about which men are agreed are apt to be the things that are least worth holding; the really important things are the things about which men will fight.

The Two Babylons

Alexander Hislop

$7.99

www.amazon.com/dp/1549771191

Fully Illustrated High Res. Images. Complete and Unabridged.

Expanded Seventh Edition. This is the first and only seventh edition available in a modern digital edition. Nothing is left out! New material not found in the first six editions!!! Available in eBook and paperback edition exclusively from CrossReach Publications.

“In his work on “The Two Babylons” Dr. Hislop has proven conclusively that all the idolatrous systems of the nations had their origin in what was founded by that mighty Rebel, the beginning of whose kingdom was Babel (Gen. 10:10).”—A. W. Pink, The Antichrist (1923)

There is this great difference between the works of men and the works of God, that the same minute and searching investigation, which displays the defects and imperfections of the one, brings out also the beauties of the other. If the most finely polished needle on which the art of man has been expended be subjected to a microscope, many inequalities, much roughness and clumsiness, will be seen. But if the microscope be brought to bear on the flowers of the field, no such result appears. Instead of their beauty diminishing, new beauties and still more delicate, that have escaped the naked eye, are forthwith discovered; beauties that make us appreciate, in a way which otherwise we could have had little conception of, the full force of the Lord's saying, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.” The same law appears also in comparing the Word of God and the most finished productions of men. There are spots and blemishes in the most admired productions of human genius. But the more the Scriptures are searched, the more minutely they are studied, the more their perfection appears; new beauties are brought into light every day; and the discoveries of science, the researches of the learned, and the labours of infidels, all alike conspire to illustrate the wonderful harmony of all the parts, and the Divine beauty that clothes the whole. If this be the case with Scripture in general, it is especially the case with prophetic Scripture. As every spoke in the wheel of Providence revolves, the prophetic symbols start into still more bold and beautiful relief. This is very strikingly the case with the prophetic language that forms the groundwork and corner-stone of the present work. There never has been any difficulty in the mind of any enlightened Protestant in identifying the woman “sitting on seven mountains,” and having on her forehead the name written, “Mystery, Babylon the Great,” with the Roman apostacy.

What We Are in Christ

E. W. Kenyon

$5.99

www.amazon.com/dp/1549823094

I was surprised to find that the expressions “in Christ,” “in whom,” and “in Him” occur more than 130 times in the New Testament. This is the heart of the Revelation of Redemption given to Paul.

Here is the secret of faith—faith that conquers, faith that moves mountains. Here is the secret of the Spirit’s guiding us into all reality. The heart craves intimacy with the Lord Jesus and with the Father. This craving can now be satisfied.

Ephesians 1:7: “In whom we have our redemption through his blood, the remission of our trespasses according to the riches of his grace.”

It is not a beggarly Redemption, but a real liberty in Christ that we have now. It is a Redemption by the God Who could say, “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven,” and cause the whole starry heavens to leap into being in a single instant. It is Omnipotence beyond human reason. This is where philosophy has never left a footprint.

Description generated with very high confidence How to Prepare Sermons

William Evans

$7.99

www.amazon.com/dp/154981785X

This volume is not an attempt to present a complete and exhaustive treatment on Homiletics—the science and art of preaching, for there are already on the market larger and more comprehensive works on the subject. This book is prepared not only for theological students but also to supply the need of such as find themselves denied the privileges of a regular ministerial training, but who, nevertheless, feel themselves called upon to preach or proclaim the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed the lectures herein printed are in substance the same as delivered to young men and women preparing themselves for Christian service in a Bible training school. This fact accounts for their conversational style, which the author has not deemed wise to change. Christian laymen, even though not preachers in the accepted sense of that term, desiring to be able to prepare brief gospel addresses and Bible readings, will find the help they need in this volume. Those seeking help in the preparation of “talks” for young peoples' societies, conventions, leagues, etc., may receive hints and suggestions in this work. The book contains theory and practice. Part One deals with the method of constructing various kinds of sermons and Bible addresses. Part Two is composed of outlines illustrating Part One. The closing chapter on “Illustrations and Their Use” has been found so helpful wherever delivered that it is thought advisable to give it a place in this volume.

Description generated with high confidence A Medicine Chest for Christian Practitioners

Clarence Larkin

$4.99

www.amazon.com/dp/1520411316

This booklet is designed to give tools for Christian service. Clarence Larkin was born October 28, 1850, in Chester, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. He was converted to Christ at the age of 19. He was a mechanical engineer, teacher and manufacturer by trade. In 1884, at the age of 34, he became an ordained Baptist minister. His first pastorate was at Kennett Square, Pennsylvania; his second was at Fox Chase, Pennsylvania, where he remained for 20 years. He was not a premillennialist at the time of his ordination, but his study of the Scriptures, with the help of some books that fell into his hands, led him to adopt the premillennialist position. He began to make large wall charts, which he titled, “Prophetic Truth,” for use in the pulpit. These led to his being invited to teach, in connection with his pastoral work, in two Bible institutes. During this time he published a number of prophetical charts, which were widely circulated. He spent three years of his life designing and drawing the charts and preparing the text for his most noteworthy book “Dispensational Truth.” Because it had a large and wide circulation in this and other lands, the first edition was soon exhausted. It was followed by a second edition, and then, realizing that the book was of permanent value, Larkin revised it and expanded it, printing it in its present form. Larkin followed this masterpiece with other books. During the last five years of his life, the demand for Larkin's books made it necessary for him to give up the pastorate and devote his full time to writing. He went to be with the Lord on January 24, 1924.—The Christian Worker's Outfit

Claiming Our Rights

E. W. Kenyon

$7.99

www.amazon.com/dp/1549815148

There is no excuse for the spiritual weakness and poverty of the Family of God when the wealth of Grace and Love of our great Father with His power and wisdom are all at our disposal. We are not coming to the Father as a tramp coming to the door begging for food; we come as sons not only claiming our legal rights but claiming the natural rights of a child that is begotten in love. No one can hinder us or question our right of approach to our Father.

Satan has Legal Rights over the sinner that God cannot dispute or challenge. He can sell them as slaves; he owns them, body, soul and spirit. But the moment we are born again... receive Eternal Life, the nature of God,—his legal dominion ends.

Christ is the Legal Head of the New Creation, or Family of God, and all the Authority that was given Him, He has given us: (Matthew 28:18), “All authority in heaven,” the seat of authority, and “on earth,” the place of execution of authority. He is “head over all things,” the highest authority in the Universe, for the benefit of the Church which is His body.

Description generated with high confidence The Complete Wycliffe Bible: Old Testament, New Testament & Apocrypha: Text Edition

$18.99

www.amazon.com/dp/154978692X

In making this edition of Wycliffe’s monumental work the Publisher has had to make a number of decisions that affect the final outcome of the work. Some of these decisions may be welcomed by the reading public and some perhaps not. All of the decisions were made with the reader in mind. Our intention was to produce an edition of Wycliffe’s Bible translation that was reasonably priced and to do this it must be in one volume. This has meant choosing a large paper format. Other smaller sized editions are over 800 pages. We chose a larger paper size that results in around 250 pages less. We chose a font that is recognized as easily readable at smaller sizes. Adobe Garamond, 10 pt. was selected. We have tested it and have not found it to be an uncomfortable reading size. If you have reasonable eyesight, you will not need a magnifying glass, as has been reportedly needed for other modern reprints. We hope you like it. Some will complain that we have not inserted indents and paragraphing. Again, this is a massive volume and we have tried to produce a book that is within one volume so that it is commercially viable for us and you the reader. It has also meant not including any of the introductions by Wycliffe, Jerome and others, or notes that were a part of the original. Hence the subtitle “Text Edition”. We understand this will not be to everyone’s liking, but we are limited, by the printer, to how many pages our books can be. At the size we chose we are almost at capacity. At a smaller size we could have done over 800 pages, but we still would have had to cram the same amount of text in. So the problem would be the same. The only way around this problem would have been to produce two large volumes and at this time we do question the viability of such an undertaking. However, if it is clear that there is a great demand for it, we may bring out a new two volume edition with that additional text. This work was first produced in the late Middle Ages. The language is therefore extremely archaic. So much so that some of the letters have evolved and changed since then. This edition contains all modern letters, but does not contain modern spelling. It is therefore, not a “Modern Edition” in this sense. The yogh for example has been replaced as necessary. Purists will complain, but we hope for the average reader this will not present much of a problem. It will hopefully give the reader a text as close to the original yet still possible to be read and, with a little work, understood.

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

R. A. Torrey

$5.85

www.amazon.com/dp/1549821490

Before one can correctly understand the work of the Holy Spirit, he must first of all know the Spirit Himself. A frequent source of error and fanaticism about the work of the Holy Spirit is the attempt to study and understand His work without first of all coming to know Him as a Person.

It is of the highest importance from the standpoint of worship that we decide whether the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person, worthy to receive our adoration, our faith, our love, and our entire surrender to Himself, or whether it is simply an influence emanating from God or a power or an illumination that God imparts to us. If the Holy Spirit is a person, and a Divine Person, and we do not know Him as such, then we are robbing a Divine Being of the worship and the faith and the love and the surrender to Himself which are His due.

Home Geography for the Primary Grades

C. C. Long

$7.95

www.amazon.com/dp/1518780660

A popular homeschooling resource for many generations now. Geography may be divided into the geography of the home and the geography of the world at large. A knowledge of the home must be obtained by direct observation; of the rest of the world, through the imagination assisted by information. Ideas acquired by direct observation form a basis for imagining those things which are distant and unknown. The first work, then, in geographical instruction, is to study that small part of the earth's surface lying just at our doors. All around are illustrations of lake and river, upland and lowland, slope and valley. These forms must be actually observed by the pupil, mental pictures obtained, in order that he may be enabled to build up in his mind other mental pictures of similar unseen forms. The hill that he climbs each day may, by an appeal to his imagination, represent to him the lofty Andes or the Alps. From the meadow, or the bit of level land near the door, may be developed a notion of plain and prairie. The little stream that flows past the schoolhouse door, or even one formed by the sudden shower, may speak to him of the Mississippi, the Amazon, or the Rhine. Similarly, the idea of sea or ocean may be deduced from that of pond or lake. Thus, after the pupil has acquired elementary ideas by actual perception, the imagination can use them in constructing, on a larger scale, mental pictures of similar objects outside the bounds of his own experience and observation.

Elementary Geography

Charlotte Mason

$8.99

www.amazon.com/dp/1549774859

This little book is confined to very simple “reading lessons upon the Form and Motions of the Earth, the Points of the Compass, the Meaning of a Map: Definitions.”

It is hoped that these reading lessons may afford intelligent teaching, even in the hands of a young teacher.

Children should go through the book twice, and should, after the second reading, be able to answer any of the questions from memory.

^b As being the only Church founded by Apostles in the West. Gieseler, (Kirchengesch. i. 175–177) notes that “necesse est” represents ἀνάγκη, not δεῖ (“oportet”) and implies a natural necessity, not a moral obligation. Massuet Diss. Præv. agrees with him, that “convenire ad” represents συμβαίνειν πρὸς, “agree with.” “Principalitas” stands for ἀρχὴ, “original” in S. Iren. i. 31. 1 “Cain, à superiore principalitate,” “from his higher, earlier original”: ii. 1. 2 “ab altera principalitate,” “from another origin, or principle.” v. 14. “unless He had Himself been made flesh and blood according to the original (principalem) formation, saving in Himself in the end, what had been lost in the beginning (principio) in Adam.” In §. 2. the Latin translator has both “prima plasmatio” and “principalis plasmatio.” In v. 21. 1. he speaks of Adam as “principalem hominem illum.” Tertullian de præsor. hær. 31, has “principalitatem veritati, posteritalem mendacitati deputans.

^r habitu tali confixus. Mr. Harvey (ii. 272) would read habitu taleis confixus, and taking talea to be a peg, understand the words of the Plough, and translate and in its mechanism fixed with pins, with a reference to the Nails of the Cross. But S. Irenæus would seem to be not so much alluding to this as to the whole Economy with Flesh, wood joined with iron, the strong Word united to the Flesh, the infirmity of our human nature to the Might of Godhead, the means by which He decreed Himself to purge Earth, which is His. One might then perhaps render, united to the Flesh and in such form blended. The whole passage appears to be, that the plough share and pruning (or rather reaping) hook or sickle have a special reference to our Lord: the first creation of man being a ploughing, the falx or sickle belonging to the time when He shall gather us into His garner at the End; He also joined the beginning to the end, typifying the sickle by Abel when He gathered him into His Garner, exhibiting again the plough in His own sojourn on earth, in that by dwelling God with us, He purged His overgrown earth, and anew prepared it to bear an Harvest.

In another passage (Book v. chap. 17 § 4) the Word is again compared to iron, the Cross is spoken of as wood: but the line of thought there seems somewhat different. E.

^c This extract is preserved by S. John Damascene, in his Parallela Sacra in the Rupefucaldine Ms. which gives this work fuller than the Vatican Codex from which Le Quien edited the work. Halloix first edited it in his Eccles. Orient. Script. t. ii. 496. See Le Quien’s mention of this Ms. t. ii. 730; and likewise his mention of the extract itself under Lit. A tit. 74 (ii. 769).

^e This translation is from Dr. Pusey’s book on The Real Presence the Doctrine of the Early Church, p. 324. The extract is given in Oecumenius’ Catena, on 1 S. Peter 2:12. (p. 149. ed. Verona 1532). Oecumenius introduces it with the words: And if any one would learn this, he will have it exactly out of what was written by Irenæus Bishop of Lyons in Celtica about Sanctus and Blandina, they are briefly.

^f The following extract is from Anastasius of the Convent of Mount Sinai in his Spiritual Meditations on the Creation: it is extant in a Latin Version in the Bibl. Max. Vet. Pat. c. ix. 910: Massuet published it from a Greek Ms. Anastasius introduces it with the words, For he disputing against the heresiarch of the abominable Ophites, says: The editors of S. Irenæus very much doubt its being really his, and the words about eating or not eating seem decisive of its spuriousness.

^v Massuet who gives references to most of the fragments, could not find out from what source Combefis (Auct. Novissimum, i. 300) who collected from Catenae, had got this. It is extant in the Leipzig Catena, i. 813, under the name of Origen: and De la Rue, Origen’s Editor has given it as his in his works, t. ii. 128, among fragments collected by the same Combefis, from Paris Mss., i.e., Catenae. Probably Combefis found S. Irenæus’ name affixed by mistake in a single Ms. The whole passage is, Know that every man is either empty or full: for if he have not the Holy Ghost, have no knowledge of his Creator, receive not Jesus Christ the Life, know not the Father which is in Heaven: if he live not according to reason, according to the Heavenly Law, be not sober-minded, act not uprightly:—such an one is void: but if he have received God Who says, I will dwell in them and walk in them and will be their God, this man is not void but full.

^v This passage was first edited by Mr Harvey (ii. 454) from Severus against John Grammaticus § 40 in the Ms. of the British Museum (Additional 12157 fol 198). Severus here finds fault with Grammaticus partly for saying that it was from S. Irenæus’ work against Valentinus, partly for giving the closing words of the extract wrong. Severus says that it does not belong at all to S. Irenæus’ work against Valentinus and his blasphemy, but occurs in a celebrated Book of his whose title is From the first &c. and its beginning, In the Book &c., and that it is not about Valentinus or any Heretics, but only about those things which are written in the history of Samuel; wherein is also the anointing of David; viz., that he anointed him to reign over Israel. And this brings us up in thought to our Lord and God and Redeemer Jesus Christ: shewing that through the shadow of the Book [of Kings] the Truth is seen.

And the real Book of this Demonstration which was garbled is this, which sets before us those 70000 armed young men, with whom David went to bring up the Ark of the Lord to his city, and who prefigured the seventy tongues of the Gentiles, out of whom the new people of Christ our Saviour is gathered, and has filled the spiritual City, the Church, wherein also He tabernacles Who was of old depicted by the Ark. He says on this wise: Here follows the extract as above: on the concluding words Severus says, This authority being thus and declaring that from two, from the type and from the Mystery about Christ, the glory of this Ark was shewn, they changed it to, For by Both will the glory of the Natures be manifested.

I have no knowledge of any passage in which 70000 men are mentioned as bringing up the ark. In 1 Chron. 12 the men of war out of all the tribes, including Levi, 4600, and 3700 with Jehoiada, leader of the Aaronites, are summed up, and that as a preliminary to the bringing up the Ark, for it proceeds immediately that King David consulted with their generals and captains about it, but their total number is nearly five times 70000.

ⁱ This last fragment is extant in Armenian, in a Ms. whence the Cardinal Dom Pitra edited it in his Spicilegium Solesmense, and from thence Mr. Harvey (ii. 464. sqq.) appended it to the other fragments. Its Editor, Cardinal Dom Pitra, thought it could not possibly be genuine, and it gives the impression of belonging to a far later time than that of S. Irenæus.

The Translation is from the Latin version of the Armenian; the title given in the Ms., is From the second series of Homilies of S. Irenæus, follower of the Apostles; a Homily upon the Sons of Zebedee.

^l The Catena on the Apocalypse published by Dr. Cramer in 1840 contains three little mentions of S. Irenæus; which are here subjoined: p. 192, Wherefore the great Irenæus Bishop of Lyons wrote that there are seven heavens and seven Angels superior to the rest: in p. 243 he quotes S. Irenæus and Clement of Alexandria as saying that the 7 lamps of fire (Rev. 5:5) are ministering Spirits which surpass the other orders of Angels; in p. 245, as to the 4 living creatures (Rev. 5:7) that the Lion will denote manliness and the Gospel of S. John, of which S. Irenæus the saint of Lyons says that it is significant of His Eternal Kingdom, on account of In the beginning was the Word: comp. Book 3 chap. ii. § 8. p. 235. In p. 279 the 5th Book against Heresies is quoted.
