Although I had read this book years ago, I have not written a review until now. In my study on walking with God I have tried to read a variety of authors from a large span of time to discover what has been said on this important topic. Lutzer was the pastor of Moody Memorial […]

The Christ-Life for the Self-Life
Frederick Brotherton Meyer (1847-1929) was a Baptist pastor and author in England, writing over 75 books and pastoring four churches in Leicester and London. While visiting America in the 1870s he became acquainted with D.L Moody and they became life-long friends. Meyer often spoke at Northfield but was also a frequent speaker in the Higher […]
Holy Spirit Power
Having been given this book by a good friend, it allowed me to continue my pursuit of books and writings that speak of walking with God. There is hardly a better place to go than to Mr. Spurgeon when thinking of walking with God, and the subject of the Holy Spirit is vital to the […]
John Ploughman’s Talk
C.H. Spurgeon had an amazing ability to speak or write to a wide variety of audiences. Among the many things that he wrote, this little book became one of the most popular among laymen. Here Spurgeon assumes the name John Bloughman and writes to the common man about common things. “Ploughman” immediately drew pictures of […]
The New Life in Christ Jesus
Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921) is best known for The Scofield Refence Bible, originally printed in 1909 by Oxford University Press, and revised in 1917, and then the New Scofield Reference Bible, printed in 1967. But some may not realize that Scofield also wrote many small books, some of which were reprints of his sermons from […]
How To Obtain Fullness of Power
Reuben Archer Torrey (1856-1928) was D.L. Moody’s superintendent of Moody Bible Institute for 19 years, then the pastor of Moody Church in Chicago. He was a graduate of Yale University with both A.B. and Divinity degrees. The five chapters are on the Word of God, the blood of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, […]
The Pursuit of God
Although I read and reported on this book over twenty years ago in Aletheia, I wanted to read it again connected to some recent study in the believer’s devotional life. Tozer followed A.B. Simpson as the editor and given leader of the CMA, and therefore has been known to many as a modern day pietist. […]
Unpacking Forgiveness
I was loaned this book by a friend and enjoyed it because I have not read enough on this important subject. I realize that there are a lot of viewpoints on the various aspects of forgiveness. Brauns defines forgiveness in the first few chapters and repeats this definition: “A commitment by the offended to pardon […]
Foundation Truths of Scripture
Professor John Laidlaw, D.D. (1832-1906) was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland, teaching first in the Reformed Presbyterian Church but later joined the Free Church of Scotland. This book, published by T. & T. Clark in 1897, is a book of doctrine laid out much like a systematic theology but much shorter. It is one […]
Fellowship With God
F.B. Meyer (1847-1929) was a Baptist pastor, writer, and speaker and pastor of Melbourne Hall church in Leicester, England and later Regents Park Chapel and Christ Church, both in London. Meyer was a frequent attender at the Keswick Convention and leaned toward the higher life point of view. He traveled to New York in the […]
