The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life (Sea Harp Timeless Series) by Hannah Whitall Smith Pdf

Real Joy for Disenchanted Christians If they are honest with themselves, many Christians would describe their discipleship experience as "disappointing." Despite their genuine devotion and faithful discipline, they find themselves hungering and thirsting for more. It is to these disenchanted pilgrims that this book was written. Despite its seemingly trite title, this classic work, endorsed by the renowned Rev. Andrew Murray, offers robust hope and practical insight for Christians longing to waken to the joy-filled, victorious life of Jesus. Written by Hannah Whitall Smith (1832-1911), a lay speaker and author, this quintessential work on joyful Christianity offers sage wisdom in an accessible tone that is at once both simple and rich. Readers will discover practical insight for... Entering into this abundant life Bolstering weak faith Harnessing a stubborn will Wrestling with lingering doubt Overcoming persistent temptation Walking in joyful obedience Experiencing oneness with Christ ... and much more Weary readers who "know there must be an entire surrender of self to Him... and have tried over and over to do it, but hitherto without any apparent success," will find in this book a healing balm and rousing charge to continue in faith until they have laid hold of this abundant life - the "life hid with Christ in God." "In the very depths of your hearts you know that your experience is not a Scriptural experience... and you have been forced to settle down to the conviction that the best you can expect from your religion is a life of alternate failure and victory; one hour sinning, and the next repenting. ... But is this all? Had the Lord Jesus only this in His mind when He laid down His precious life to deliver you from your sore and cruel bondage to sin? Did He propose to Himself only this partial deliverance? ... No, no, a thousand times no! God is able to save unto the uttermost, and He means to do it."

James by John F. MacArthur Pdf

The apostle James, the oldest half-brother of Jesus, was a key leader in the Jerusalem church. During the early days of the young church, the Jewish believers had been scattered by persecution.

Pastor John MacArthur will take you through the book of James, passage by passage, so that you can better understand this short but powerful book and how James gives us practical guidance on issues that also measure our true faith and our spiritual fruitfulness. James calls all believers—then and now—to live a life that demonstrates saving faith marked by godly behavior. —ABOUT THE SERIES— The MacArthur Bible Study series is designed to help you study the Word of God with guidance from widely respected pastor and author John MacArthur.

Happiness by Randy Alcorn Pdf

Do you ever wonder whether God even cares if we’re happy? This world can be so hard, and we aren’t promised an easy road. But that’s not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also experience joy and happiness here on earth. In Happiness, noted theologian Randy Alcorn (bestselling author of Heaven) dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness, including downright harmful ideas like the prosperity gospel, and provides indisputable proof that God not only wants us to be happy, he commands it. Randy covers questions like: How can I cultivate happiness in my life? What’s the difference between joy and happiness? Can good things become idols that steal our happiness? Is seeking happiness selfish? How can I achieve happiness through gratitude? What does it look like to receive God’s grace? The most definitive study on the subject of happiness to date, this book is a paradigm-shifting wake-up call for the church and Christians everywhere.

The Pursuit of Happiness by Sarah Heaner Lancaster Pdf

People want to be happy. Nothing could be more obvious, and yet this common and evident goal is not as easy to achieve as it is to desire. The Christian tradition has understood happiness to be gained through relationship with God, and it has much to say about what will make us truly happy and what will not. This book examines happiness from a Christian perspective, using John Wesley as the focus of study because he understood happiness with God to be the very goal of Christian life. He also understood that Christian happiness needed to acknowledge the difficulties of life. This book seeks to learn from the wisdom of the past in order to imagine how Christians today might talk about happiness in a way that is faithful to the tradition and engages the world as well.

Happy are You Poor by Thomas Dubay Pdf

To the modern mind, the concept of poverty is often confused with destitution. But destitution emphatically is not the Gospel ideal. A love-filled sharing frugality is the message, and Happy Are You Poor explains the meaning of this beatitude lived and taught by Jesus himself. But isn't simplicity in lifestyle meant only for nuns and priests? Are not all of us to enjoy the goodness and beauties of our magnificent creation? Are parents to be frugal with the children they love so much? The renowned spiritual writer Dubay gives surprising replies to these questions. He explains how material things are like extensions of our persons and thus of our love. If everyone lived this love there would be no destitution. After presenting the richness of the Gospel message, more beautiful than any other world view, he explains how Gospel frugality is lived in each state of life.
