Aflame with Love
Selections from the Writing of Blaise Pascal

Modern science would not be the same without him, but Pascal's love for learning paled next to his passion for Christ. Few men have ever lived who thought more deeply upon the nature of reality.

"At an age when others have hardly begun to see the light, he had completed the cycle of human knowledge," and seeing its emptiness, directed his remaining energies to know Him in whom is hidden all the wisdom and the glory of God. Here Pascal found the answer to his heart's desire, and in that assurance, he discovered the Truth that sets men free—the Truth that every man can know by faith in Jesus Christ.

Resolutions of a Saintly Scholar

The Saints Everlasting Rest
Richard Baxter

A Puritan pastor born in 1615, Baxter wrote more than 140 books before his death in 1691. His literary accomplishments are impressive considering his continual battle against poor health and near invalid status. His battle with a life threatening illness at age 35 provided the context for The Saints' Everlasting Rest.

As Baxter meditated on the joys of heaven, which he soon expected to enter, he wrote down his thoughts. He eventually recovered, and published his reflections. The work was a runaway best seller. The original work covered 844 pages. In 1758 it was condensed to 16 chapters, and in this booklet we present Chapters 11-13 in an edited and condensed form. This work has inspired Christians for centuries to lift their eyes above this world to the place where they will spend eternity.

The Scripture Way of Salvation
John Wesley

Few persons have every lived who exerted more positive influence on their time than John Wesley. His prodigious life and work, spanning most of the Eighteenth Century, epitomized and gave direction to an evangelical revival that changed the face of England.

Into this generation of despair, seething on the verge of revolution, John Wesley began to herald a Gospel of free and full salvation—a deliverance which any person can know through simple faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

The three sermons reproduced in this book typify this preaching—the kind of preaching that uncovers the depths of sin while exalting the heights of redeeming grace.

The Way of Holiness
Phoebe Palmer

In 1837, at the age of 30, Phoebe Palmer consecrated herself to God and later experienced what she called entire sanctification, through the process described in The Way of Holiness. Over the next 37 years, she worked out all the implications of her complete surrender to God.

By her willingness to preach and write, Palmer also promoted women's rights. In addition to the rest of her service to the Lord, she delivered food, clothing and medicine to people in need.

The Way of Holiness outlines much of Palmer's theology of holiness, faith and testimony. Readers today will find its counsel helpful in pursuing the way to that holiness of life which God has called His people to follow.

Words to Winners of Souls
Horatius Bonar

Bonar felt deeply the plight of people without Christ and the urgency of getting the saving gospel to them. He became recognized as a powerful preacher and gifted writer. Running through his work whether preaching or writing, is a fervent yet loving call to holiness of life and work, which meant to him simply Christ-likeness.

While focusing on the need for evangelism, the underlying theme in Words to Winners of Souls is getting right with God and walking every day in fellowship with Christ.

Though first published more than 130 years ago, the words still speak to persons who yearn to be winners of souls, sanctified, fitted for the Master's use.
