"The Greatest Words Ever Spoken: Everything Jesus Said,"

by Steven K Scott
Steven K. Scott's life-transforming resource, The Greatest Words Ever Spoken has the "power to
transform hateful hearts...change minds driven by greed...and alter lives ruled by arrogance." In this
compilation of "pure, undiluted words" and statements Jesus' words inspire hope in hopeless
situations, stir joy in broken hearts and replace "paralyzing fear" with His supernatural peace. That
makes this book a valuable, one-of-a-kind resource.
It isn't a quick read and it isn't a book designed to be read cover-to-cover. Instead it's an
alphabetized reference of every word, statement and lesson Jesus spoke and taught organized into
nine general categories and 220 associated topics that provide "instant access to the counsel of
Christ."
When Dr. Gary Smalley, one of Scott's friends, realized what Scott had created, he said, "This is a
treasure chest of answers, promises, inspiration, encouragement, love, faith, and power for living
that no Christian home should be without."
WaterBrook Press agreed and published this special "red-letter" edition in 2014 with Jesus' words in
red and verses that provide context in black. From the table of contents to the New Testament
scripture indexes and alphabetized subject index, this user friendly resource "is a quick way to find
what Jesus had to say" on individual topics and everyday issues.
I especially liked chapter five that lists over one hundred of Jesus' conditional promises, "What Jesus
said to those who believe in him." For greater understanding Scott suggests readers "underline the
condition" of the promise and then highlight the "promised benefit...to clearly understand Jesus'
teaching."
Besides a quick reference for spiritual questions and direction, the book can also be used for "topical
studies during morning and evening devotions," by individuals, families or for group bible or word
studies. It would also be a wonderful gift for new Christians who want to learn more about Christ.
Jesus' words are taken from the National International (NIV) translation while the New King James
(NKJV) is used for chapter introductions. Scott and his business partners applied the biblical wisdom
found in Jesus' words to build "more than a dozen multimillion-dollar companies from scratch. "Not
only did Jesus predict our struggles," said Scott, "He offered a magnificent plan for our individual
and corporate success."
In John 8: 31-32, Christ promised, "If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and
you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Scott makes the task easy with this
simple, user-friendly resource that teaches the "God who created the universe" wants to know you
on a "first-name basis," with such intimacy you would call him your "best friend," even think of him
as your "dad."

Valley of Vision (Leather): A Collection of Puritan Prayers and


Devotions, by Arthur G. Bennett Banner of Truth2003
Valley of Vision (Leather): A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions, by Arthur G. Bennett
The strength of Puritan character and life lay in prayer and meditation. In this practice the spirit of
prayer was regarded as of first importance and the best form of prayer, for living prayer is the
characteristic of genuine spirituality. Yet prayer is also vocal and may therefore on occasions be
written. Consequently in the Puritan tradition there are many written prayers and meditations which
constitute an important corpus of inspiring devotional literature.
Too often ex tempore prayer lacks variety, order and definiteness. The reason for this lies partly in a
neglect of due preparation. It is here that the care and scriptural thoroughness which others found
necessary in their approach to God may be of help. This book has been prepared not to 'supply'
prayers but to prompt and encourage the Christian as he treads the path on which others have gone
before.

Loveliness of Christ, by Samuel Rutherford Banner of Truth2007


Loveliness of Christ, by Samuel Rutherford
From the Foreword, by Sinclair Ferguson:...Surprising though it may seem in a world of large books,
of all those owned by our family this may be the one we have most often lent or quoted to friends. It
is full of rich spiritual wisdom and insight culled from the experience of a man who knew both the
sorrows of life and the joys of faith in great abundance.
I pray that many readers will find here the help, comfort, wise counsel, and spiritual compass that
we and our friends have so often discovered in meditating on these pages. Sinclair Ferguson The
Loveliness of Christ is a beautiful little gift book containing short extracts in which some of
Rutherford s most helpful thoughts are allowed to stand out in their unadorned wisdom and power.
Those familiar with Andrew Bonar s great nineteenth-century collection of the Letters of Samuel
Rutherford will feel that this setting of brief quotations makes Rutherford s words sparkle like
diamonds on a dark cloth in a jeweler's shop. It is not surprising then, that a hundred years ago, H.
C. G. Moule, the Anglican Bishop of Durham, said in his simple but elegant commendation of the
original edition of The Loveliness of Christ that it was a small casket stored with many jewels. It is
the publisher s wish that the reader, in meditating on these pages, will find here help, comfort, wise
counsel, and spiritual compass, and to say with Rutherford, Every day we may see some new thing in
Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.

Voices From The Past - Puritan Devotional Readings, by Richard


Rushing Banner of Truth2009
Voices From The Past - Puritan Devotional Readings, by Richard Rushing
Richard Rushing has compiled this book of daily devotional readings from his favorite Puritan
authors because of the great help he has gained from their Works.
'How thrilling it has been for me to read the Puritans on the glory and attributes of God, divine
providence, fellowship with God, holiness of life and the mortification of indwelling sin, heavenly
mindedness, prayer, evangelistic zeal, and trust in the Lord during times of affliction. At every turn
these truths are eloquently taught, faithfully applied, and kindly offered as the subject of sweet
spiritual meditation.'
This book is sent forth with the prayer that it will open a door to the vast stores of treasure to be
found in the writings of the Puritans and that it will stimulate further exploration of this rich
spiritual inheritance.

Nearing Home: Life, Faith, and Finishing Well, by Billy Graham


Thomas Nelson2011
Nearing Home: Life, Faith, and Finishing Well, by Billy Graham
Review: Nearing Home
But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and
the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:24 (ESV)
Growing old has been the greatest surprise of my life, says Billy Graham, known by many as Gods
Ambassador. I would have never guessed what God had in store for me, and I know that as I am
nearing home, He will not forsake me the last mile of the way.
In Nearing Home this man of faithnow in his ninetiesexplores the challenges of aging while gleaning
foundational truths from Scripture. Billy Graham invites us to journey with him as he considers the
golden years while anticipating the hope of being reunited with his wife, Ruth, in his heavenly home
that eclipses this world. When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing
old with grace is a choice, says the author. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set
their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Join Billy Graham as he shares the challenges of fading strength but still standing strong in his
commitment to finishing life well.
Explore with me not only the realities of life as we grow older but also the hope and fulfillment and
even joy that can be ours once we learn to look at these years from Gods point of view and discover
His strength to sustain us every day.

that can defeat us; habits that destroy our spirit, and what to do when life turns against us. And we
are given practical advice on knowing God's will, making right decision, strengthening our
marriages, being wise parents, and using our gifts to share Christ with others.
With insight that only comes from a life spent with God, The Journey is filled with wisdom,
