Life of Christ, by Frederic Farrar
Farrar was a well-known British preacher who lived from

London's famed Westminster Abbey and later as Dean of
Canterbury. "His ability to blend historical details with
biblical facts" drew huge crowds to listen to his sermons.
Confessions, by Augustine
Augustine stands as the last patristic and the first
medieval father of Western Christianity. The center of his
"system" is in the Holy Scriptures, as they ordered and
moved his heart and mind. It was in Scripture that, first
and last, Augustine found the focus of his religious
authority.
Orthodoxy, by Gilbert K. Chesterton
To show that a faith or a philosophy is true from every
standpoint would be too big an undertaking even for a much
bigger book than this; it is necessary to follow one path of
argument; and this is the path that I here propose to follow.
I wish to set forth my faith as particularly answering this
double spiritual need, the need for that mixture of the
familiar and the unfamiliar which Christendom has rightly
named romance.

and Lyle Chadwick
Dedicated with love to our children, grandchildren,

The Nature of Enthusiasm, by John Wesley
If a man is indeed alive to God, and dead to all things
here below; if he continually sees Him that is invisible, and
accordingly walks by faith, and not by sight; then they account
it a clear case: beyond all dispute, 'much religion hath made
him mad.'
The Deeper Christian Life by Andrew Murray
The first and chief need of our Christian life is,
Fellowship with God. The Divine life within us comes from God,
and is entirely dependent upon Him. As I need every moment
afresh the air to breathe, as the sun every moment afresh
sends down its light, so it is only in direct living
communication with God that my soul can be strong.
Ten Reasons Why I Believe the Bible Is the
Word of God by R.A. Torrey
I was brought up to believe that the Bible was the Word
of God. In early life I accepted it as such upon the
authority of my parents, and never gave the question any
serious thought. But later in life my faith in the Bible was
utterly shattered through the influence of the writings of a
very celebrated, scholarly and brilliant sceptic. I found
myself face to face with the question, Why do you believe
the Bible is the Word of God? I had no satisfactory answer.
Revival Lectures by Charles G. Finney
Religion is the work of man. It is something for man to
do. It consists in obeying God. It is man's duty. It is true
God induces him to do it. He influences him by His Spirit,
because of his great wickedness and reluctance to obey. If it
were not necessary for God to influence men, if men were
disposed to obey God, there would be no occasion to pray:
"O Lord, revive Thy work."
