A. W. Tozer pastored churches in West Virginia and Illinois. His education consisted of his prayer life and his personal study of the Bible and other literature, and this allowed him to preach in a direct and passionate style free of academic terminology. The Pursuit of God encourages the Christian to seek God with single-mindedness and devotion. Doctrinal knowledge is only a starting point on this journey toward a real and personal knowledge of God. Tozer reveals the path that leads to a deeper level of the Christian life.

History

In conversations and letters, Brother Lawrence shares the simple and straightforward devotion that has inspired millions. Beginning with pure faith in God, Brother Lawrence teaches that we should always draw near to God, and that God should so occupy us that we leave aside all other thoughts. Brother Lawrence's advice is practical, focused, single-minded, and wise. The book consists of four conversations with, and fifteen letters written by, Nicholas Herman of Lorraine, a lowly and unlearned man who, after having been a footman and soldier, was admitted a lay brother among the barefoot Carmelites at Paris in 1666 and was afterward known as "Brother Lawrence." His conversion, which took place when he was about eighteen years old, was the result, under God, of the mere sight in midwinter of a dry and leafless tree, and of the reflections it stirred respecting the change the coming spring would bring. From that time, he grew eminently in the knowledge and love of God, endeavoring constantly to walk "as in his presence."

Originally condemned as morally corrupt, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is now recognized as a modern literary classic. The story of Dorian Gray, whose portrait grows old while its subject remains young, has been the basis for numerous television, film, and musical adaptations. Well known for its exploration of hedonism, the book also gives an early glimpse of Wilde's interest in Catholicism. The Picture of Dorian Gray story was first published in a monthly literary magazine and then revised and expanded for publication in book form in 1891. To deal with criticism of the original story, Wilde included a preface stating his aesthetic philosophy. This edition includes both the full twenty chapters and the preface.

Our simple task is to love God in the present moment. In this life-changing work, Jean-Pierre de Caussade reveals a spiritual exercise appropriate no matter what our duties and circumstances. We must love God whatever happens and take everything around us an expression of his will. We should allow all our actions to be divinely and intuitively guided. Sanctity consists simply in this loving response to God. Jean-Pierre de Caussade was a member of the Society of Jesus, a preacher, and a spiritual director. His classic work, Abandonment to Divine Providence, has for almost three centuries demonstrated to Christians the power of living in the present moment.

Abandonment to Divine Providence: Loving God in the Present Moment

Caussade, Jean-Pierre De

The secret of happiness is to be wholly consecrated to God. This consecration comes about by God's grace acting in us through faith. We should seek always to follow His will, with the promptings of divine guidance being tested against Scripture and the circumstance of a way being open. There are ways for Christians to deal with doubts and temptations along the way. Learn the value of seeing God in every situation. Finally, see what the results of this consecration will be. Hannah Whitall Smith came from a Quaker background and was an active speaker and writer in the Methodist-inspired Holiness movement. Born in Philadelphia, she later moved to England. This revised edition incorporates her additions and corrections.

In the life of Jesus we have the perfect model of humility and surrender of the self so that God may be glorified. Understand the roots of pride and the one possible means of redemption from it. Study the examples of the disciples and of Paul. Pastor Murray includes in his book a call for for church leaders to live humility in their personal lives. Andrew Murray was born in South Africa of Scottish extraction. He studied at the University of Aberdeen before becoming a pastor in the Dutch Reformed Church. His preaching and devotionals remain popular and influential to this day.

In ORTHODOXY, G. K. Chesterton presents the arguments that led him to embrace the Christian faith. He examines the human situation from multiple points of view and discovers that Christianity is the only religion or system of belief to which all of these perspectives consistently point. G. K. Chesterton was born in London, where he worked in publishing and journalism. Among his literary friends and acquaintances were Bernard Shaw, Hillaire Belloc, Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, and Bertrand Russell. Some years after writing ORTHODOXY, Chesterton was received into the Catholic Church.
