The disciplines of science, philosophy, and religion are full of theories put forth by men attempting to explain, or explain away, the fundamental flaws of humanity. But the problem with man is best explained by His Creator. If we as creatures are to find a remedy for our plight, we must seek it in God, who alone can save. Through a guided study of God's own words, and under various systematic headings, The Truth about Man unfolds the desperate condition of humanity. As the second part in a series of rich, biblical studies, this workbook provides the reader with a no-nonsense Bible study on a fundamental tenant of the Christian gospel the lost condition of man. 
 Like the previous book, The One True God, this workbook keeps the student engaged directly with the Bible throughout the entire study. It is intended not just to teach truth, but to lead to an encounter with the living God and a deeper understanding of the magnitude of our salvation by demonstrating man's true need of God's redemption. In this study students are encouraged to thoughtfully draw conclusions from the Scriptures rather than to merely absorb the principles, inferences, and illustrations set before them by the author. For this reason the book includes very little of such material and instead focuses on digesting the Scriptures directly. 
 Learning in this way, the reader is set on a firm foundation and will readily perceive the centrality and high authority of biblical doctrine within the Christian life. The study of doctrine is both an intellectual and devotional discipline. Therefore students are encouraged throughout the study to think through and apply the truths they learn, meditating on the demands of Scripture for their heart and mind. The book puts us squarely in the middle of the material and requires we give searching thought to God's assertions about man. 
 The Truth about Man is especially suited for the following contexts: (1) doctrinal training for new converts, (2) college and adult group Bible studies, (3) private study, (4) Christian or home school curriculum, (5) Sunday school material, (6) an aid to parents in teaching the Word of God to their children.

Yours Affectionately George Muller, Valuable Selections From the Writings of George Muller

The church of Jesus Christ has but one foundation, Christ Himself. But upon that stone must come basic fundamental truths taught by the Bible. This book is a collection of writings produced throughout the fires and challenges of a quarter-century of pastoral ministry, being written with wisdom, insight, humility, and practicality, in order to instruct and equip the people of God. There is plenty in this book for Christians in all phases of the Christian walk. It begins with Your Baptismal Class Notes, teaching the essence of the Christian faith, the meaning of baptism, and laying out the basic responsibilities of Christians within the church. From there Conrad practically and soundly addresses vital themes and issues in the church such as biblical church government, the Lord's Supper, the role of women in the church, challenges in today's pastoral ministry, worship in the church, church and state relationships, inter-church relationships, and specifically those partnering relationships which exist for the sake of missions. There is a sense in which Conrad's African culture and context, coming face to face with God's great and eternal truths, helps to shed more light on certain aspects of the church than Westerners often experience. Foundations for the Flock makes a real and helpful contribution to the church. Moreover, while dealing with profound issues and themes, the author avoids overly technical jargon and speaks the truth plainly.

Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Cure

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Daniel Smith was a very average boy born to ordinary Scottish parents in 1907. But at the age of eighteen this shy descendant of the Scottish Covenanters was converted to Christ. Despite naturally being of little account, and certainly not possessing any innate talent for the task, the Lord Jesus Christ fitted him for service and gave him the great honor of taking the Gospel of God all around the world. As a missionary in the northeast portion of China s Yunnan province during the time surrounding the Communist takeover of that region, he took part in a mighty saving work of God among the Nosu tribes. Later he worked in Sri Lanka and India before ministering for some years in the West, and finally exercising an itinerant ministry in churches around the world. Though the book is an autobiography, Dan s emphasis is not so much to tell the reader about himself and his life, but to humbly relate the many things God has done for him and through him, and in so doing to stimulate our faith, confidence, and maturity in Christ.

In Ever, only, ALL for Thee Pamela Bugden sketches the life and work of Frances Ridley Havergal with expert hand. Born a pastor's daughter in 1836, Frances was a talented student with much opportunity to learn and develop. When the Lord Jesus Christ became Reality to her, she gave herself and her talents to be wholly His until her early death at the age of forty-two. While she lived, Miss Havergal was one of the most well-known and well-loved Christian writers in the English language. Her ministry, in song, pen and person, was widely known and loved, resulting in true growth for Christ s Church. The Lord blessed the fruit of her hands with an amazing insight into spiritual truth, having about it the wonderful fragrance of Christ. Accordingly, her words and songs helped countless believers in her lifetime and still echo through the church today in some of her well-known hymns Take My Life and Let it Be and Like a River Glorious. It is unfortunate that so much of her work remains widely unknown. Thus Pamela Bugden has done us all a favor by highlighting Frances life and work in these brief glimpses. Written by one who has poured over almost her entire life work, this book is a substantial introduction to the remarkable woman C. H. Spurgeon called, the last and loveliest of our modern poets.

Foundations for the Flock

What does it mean to serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter? What is the Christian's relationship to the Law of Moses? What is the law of Christ? How are love and law related? Are the commandments of the Old Testament still relevant in the Christian life? What does it mean to be free from the Law? How does love fulfill the whole law? These questions, and many others, are considered in The Law of Christ. Too often Christians have looked to something other than Christ for their supreme rule of duty. They have centered their lives around a list of rules; rather than His new commandment to love. Not realizing that the goal of all Christian instruction is love, they have too often valued Bible knowledge, preaching ability, ministry, and gifts above the one thing that matters most in the Christian life. Yet, according to the New Testament, love is the fulfillment of the whole law, and no amount of sacrifice, knowledge, or even faith means anything apart from it. The goal of this book is to point believers to their perfect Savior and standard, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is Himself love incarnate, and who alone can enable them in some measure to love as He loved.

David M'Intyre (1859-1938) was a Scottish, Presbyterian minister whose many books have the rare balance of scholastic care and worshipful writing. He succeeded the famous Andrew Bonar as minister in Finnieston and later became Principal of the Bible Training Institute in Glascow. In this single volume, we present two of his stirring and helpful books on the topic of prayer. The first of these is his most well-known work, the one which seems to have remained in general circulation from its first publication, The Hidden Life of Prayer. The author best describes his own intentions in the preface: "Books on secret prayer are without number; but it seems to me that there is still room for one in which an appeal may be taken, steadily, and from every point, to life to the experience of God's saints." Upon the foundation of biblical teaching, M'Intyre piles example after example of what has been helpful and effective in the prayer lives of many Christians, from Augustine to Spurgeon. The result is a handbook for prayer based both on Scripture and on the time-tested wisdom of God's people through the centuries. Reading this book will, therefore, give you an abundance of counselors (Proverbs 11:14) to help you toward a victorious prayer life. The second book, The Prayer-Life of Our Lord, is not as well-known but is of equal quality. M'Intyre here conducts a study of the prayers of Jesus from the beginning of His earthly life to His present intercession for us. The aim is transparent: to give us a flawless example of genuine communion with God, so that we may go and do likewise. To read this book will allow you to repeat the exchange in Luke 11:1: "It happened that while Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray....'" The reader may even wish to read this book before The Hidden Life of Prayer, since surely the example of our Lord is far weightier than all the helpful advice of His people combined. We therefore believe that this book will also correct a surprising oversight in our own day: we simply do not have many books on the prayer life of Jesus, though He ought to be our example in all things, prayer included. Together, we hope these two books will renew your commitment to seek God in prayer and even enrich your time with Him. Prayer is one of the few things which we are commanded to do without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and it holds the great promise that, if we will ask, we will receive, even if the request is the Holy Spirit Himself (Luke 11:9-13). Naturally, a volume on prayer is fitting for all Christians. But given its importance and power, newer Christians should begin immediately to cultivate a constant and zealous habit of prayer, and we offer this volume as a real help to them.
