The Heavenly Octave (a study of the beatitudes)

Baker Book House

F W Boreham's imaginative and dramatic biographical sermons will continue to delight and enlighten Christian readers around the world in this new edition entitled Life Verses. Drawing upon his extensive study of the Bible along with classic biographies and English literature, Boreham brings to life the often untold "rest of the story"--the impact of a Scripture verse or passage upon great Christians and other historical figures. Originally entitled A Temple of Topaz, volume five of Life Verses explores the crucial experiences of notable Christians such as William Tyndale, Adoniram Judson, and Henry Drummond. Boreham consistently presents the unchanging essentials of God's Word at work in great lives. Pastors and teachers will appreciate the wealth of illustrative material, and readers will be drawn to Boreham's captivating and always insightful sermon stories. About the Author: Frank William Boreham (1871-1959) was born in Tunbridge Wells, England, and educated at Spurgeon's Pastors Co

Life Verses: The Bible's Impact on Famous Lives, Vol. 5

Kregel Pubns

Many of us have our heroes but we often fail to recognize the people who helped to shape them. In "Lover of Life" the distinguished author Dr. F. W. Boreham draws back the curtain to pay tribute to one of his mentors, Joseph John Doke. This is a tantalizing sketch of a pastor, artist, author, who later in South Africa became a friend and freedom fighter with Mahatma Gandhi in the struggle for the rights of minority races. Instead of a treatise on Effective Mentoring, F. W. Boreham in his inimitable way tells stories of how it worked for him and how pivotal such a relationship was in his own life and ministry. It would be good if seminary and denominational leaders put this book into the hands of every seminary student and pastor who are embarking on a new mentoring relationship. This short story about the friendship between J. J. Doke and Frank and Stella Boreham provides a wealth of insight and a hopeful vision of what a mentoring relationship might become (Dr. Geoff Pound). Please check out the other F. W. Boreham books published by John Broadbanks Publishing.

Second Thoughts

This book is a collection of five addresses that F. W. Boreham delivered on some major stages of life, and this is accompanied by two further essays in which the author develops the theme of life's milestones. Throughout these pages one feels the sheer exuberance that Boreham had for life. He possesses a sense of wonder about the newness of each day. His approach is to greet each day with expectancy and to make the momentous decisions with which life confronts us. F. W. Boreham claimed that the greatest day of a person's life was not their birthday, their wedding anniversary, or the date of their death but, The greatest day in a man's life is the day on which he finds himself overwhelmed and bowed to earth by a sense of the greatness of God (Dr. Geoff Pound). Please consider checking out the other titles published by John Broadbanks Publishing.A portion of the sale of each Boreham book will go toward the training of pastors and missionaries at Whitley College, a ministry that Boreham supported during his lifetime. The new Second Edition (2012) updates front and back matter.

The Chalice of Life: Reflections on the Significant Stages in Life

Choosing the best essays of F. W. Boreham is as excruciating as selecting some children to get the honors and telling the others that they did not make the grade. As mentioned in the preface to "All the Blessings of Life: The Best Stories of F. W. Boreham (Revised)" the selection is subjective. But there is some rhyme and reason to the choices. Some were voted in by current Boreham readers so they appear by popular demand. Others are clearly Boreham's choice or were popular in his day. In compiling this selection an effort has been made to include essays on a range of themes, those which illustrate different homiletical methods and others that are drawn from different periods in Boreham's career. The sermon "The Whisper of God" may at face value have not made the cut in Boreham's best but it is included because it is the best of his earliest sermons and it illustrates how his preaching changed in style, structure and length. "The Best Essays and Sermons of F. W. Boreham" demonstrate the way that Boreham worked hard to remodel his writing and preaching through such things as the removal of wordy clutter, for it is clear to see the emergence of a simple and flowing style. These essays and sermons have been brought together not for literary inspection and homiletical interest but so they might speak powerfully to readers in this contemporary age. The great hope for this new book is that it might stimulate among its readers one of the major themes of F. W. Boreham -- that each person, with their God-given gifts might develop their unique style (Dr. Geoff Pound). This book also includes: a profile of Boreham written by T. Howard Crago, name and topical indexes and an "About the Cover" section. Twenty six pages of introductory material are followed by 298 pages.

A Packet of Surprises: The Best Essays and Sermons of F. W. Boreham

F. W. Boreham writes, "A king-maker occupies a more exalted eminence than a king. And in that (Victorian) age of crisis and transformation there were many kingly spirits who gratefully confessed that, but for Mr. Spurgeon's ministry -- in public or in private -- their own contribution to the nations' development would have been negligble." The complete foreword, written by Boreham for a friend's book, and from which the preceding is an extract, opens this book which gives tribute to C. H. Spurgeon. There is some redundancy in Boreham's three sermons, one lecture and an essay, but the portrait he paints in words of Spurgeon more than makes up for any repetition. A preface by Geoff Pound and two introductory essays about Spurgeon and his college by Steve Miller, a Harvest House editor that has studied him, provides context for a book that is not only biographical but inspiring. Spurgeon's Christ-centered focus and passion for souls are invigorating. The total page count is 92 (23 Roman numeral pages followed by 69 numbered pages). If you need refreshing, get to know this giant of a man through the eyes of F. W. Boreham and a few admirers of these two men.

Boreham wrote and refined his stories in order to master the difficult art of telling a story well. Such diligence was rewarded as Dr. Boreham became recognized as one of the leading Christian preachers and writers in the first half of the twentieth century. In the second half of the last century, well-known preachers such as Billy Graham, Ravi Zacharias (USA) and Gordon Moyes (Australia) have frequently expressed their indebtedness to Boreham's writings" (Dr. Geoff Pound).
