Jones recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture where they are bringing Christ. Instead he makes the case that Christians learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.

The David, The King unit uses the Bible story from 2 Samuel 5:1-5, 10 and 6:1-5, 14-15, 18-19. After the death of Saul, Israel’s first king, the people from the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and made a covenant to the Lord, declaring that David should be king of all Israel. David had already been King of Judah for seven and a half years. Now all the tribes were united.David consolidated the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel and established the capital in Jerusalem. It was called the “City of David,” In addition to this being a political capital, David made Jerusalem a religious center by bringing the ark of the covenant to the city.The story of King David is a story of humanity. There are victories and defeats, great courage and devastating sin. Throughout the story we see how David turned to God in both praise and confession. God blessed him and guided him as he led his people. Children will recognize:   the stories of King David come from the Old Testament of the Bible; the Old Testament tells us about ordinary men and women who did extraordinary things with God’s help; King David is the same person as the harp-playing shepherd boy anointed by Samuel; David brought the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem as a symbol of God’s presence with the new nation; David trusted God and asked God to help him know how to lead the people of Israel; like King David, we need to ask for and follow God’s guidance; David made many mistakes. When he asked for forgiveness, God forgave him and continued to use David for God’s purposes; God forgives us and uses us, in spite of our mistakes, for God’s purposes; God is with us all the time.

What I had - Jesus, God, the Kingdom of God - was all I wanted and needed. I didn't want anything different. I only wanted more of what I had. (from the Introduction)

"On the day that Mahatma Gandhi was killed, I arrived in Delhi just an hour and a quarter before the tragedy,... the greatest tragedy since the Son of God died on the cross..."
So begins this compelling account of Gandhi by E. Stanley Jones, world-famous missionary/evangelist to India during forty seething years of struggle. Based on an intimate knowledge and understanding of the man, Jones' revealing interpretation was written in gratitude to Gandhi, who, although they often disagreed, showed him "more of the spirit of Christ than perhaps any other man in East or West."

Way to Power and Poise

This updated classic contains 364 daily devotionals revolving around "And the Word became flesh" (John 1:14) and its meaning for a transformed life. From his wide experience with world religions and contact with believers across the globe, E. Stanley Jones explains the difference between Christianity (in which God reaches toward humanity through Jesus Christ) and other faiths (in which humanity reaches toward God in various ways). Includes: Daily scripture reading, commentary, a prayer and affirmation for each day. Discussion guide for 52 weeks with several questions for reflection and conversation Scripture index Topical index E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was perhaps the most widely known and admired Christian evangelist of his time. He spent a lifetime in missionary work in India, Japan, and other countries, and touched many more lives through his writings.

The Word Became Flesh

Jesus swept onto the scene declaring that the Kingdom of God had arrived! He proclaimed that we would experience life at its fullest only when we organize our lives around the Kingdom. E. Stanley Jones suggests that life in any other way is a muddled, maddening, and impossible way to live. Throughout the centuries we have lost the Kingdom as a clearly defined and workable system for order and influence in our daily lives. We have reduced the Kingdom by putting it into narrower molds, a refuge now, a present security, a future hope, anything but the Kingdom as Jesus preached it - God's total answer to man's total need now." Dr. Jones shows us how to claim our spiritual heritage and the abundant life promised us by embracing the Kingdom and Person of Jesus. He suggests how our experience with God and His Kingdom should be taught and shared in the life of the individual, in the life of the church and in the nations of the world.
